Bowdee's Party

So Bowdee decided to have a party at our house this year. But he wanted it to be a late party so they could play night time games. It was the first year we didn't make the invitations. But it okay, I didn't panic to much. He had 7 really good friends come over from 6:30-9:00 and we did alittle of everything. Except I had planned to make carmel apples, hot chocolate, and popcorn balls. But they decided that just wasn't what they were there for. So instead we had pizza and pop. Then we opened presents which I must say thank you to all you wonderful parents. Bowdee felt like he hit the jack pot. Then we split up and some played laser tag while the others played rockband. Then we would switch so we all could do everything. Then we ended the night with a great time at playing Night Games. Well the kids all played their games differently so it wasn't working. UNTIL- good old mom comes out and tells them how she use to play it. Then we all played together and had a wonderful time. I must say Adi really has a knack at not being found. Thank you to all of Bowdee's wonderful friends. It is so nice to know he picks great friends and you all enjoy playing together.

Happy Birthday Bowdee!

I can't hardly believe it was 9 years ago today. Terry was at school taking a test and I was having lunch with Kami and my mom when all the fun began. I started having some crazy backpains that just wouldn't let up. So my mom and Kami talked me into going to the hospital to just have things checked out. They drove me to American Fork hospital and I was straped to the machines and nothing was showing up. However, the nurse reassured me just because they couldn't see it on the machine didn't mean the pain or contractions where not there. Most of the time the contractions in the back would not show on the moniter. My doctor came to check things out and sure enough I was progressing and he wanted to "get this party started." I held out for Terry to be there as I got the epidural. Because just between us I was really afraid of that needle. I could just imagine so many horrible things that I wanted him there if any of them happened. At 8:45pm Bowdee decided he had enough and didn't want us having any more fun without him. He was only 5lbs 11oz but holy cow he had the spirit of an angel. If you know Bowdee you know how sweet and loving his spirit is. I felt this spirit so strong the moment he was delivered. Bowdee was everything I ever drempt for in a baby. He was the one to make me a mother, he truely changed my world.Bowdee has always been a true delight to me. The things he says... I remember when he was not even 2 I had a miscarriage. I was heart broken and on the floor against a wall crying when Bowdee came up to me and hugged me and said "mommy okay" and gave me the warmest hug in the world. I remember that hug to this day, that hug gave me the strength I needed to pick myself up off the floor and know that yes mommy was okay. Because I always would have my Bowdee and that was enough for me. Thank you Bowdee for being the sweetest child I have ever known, with the strongest desire in the world to always do what is right. Keep it up Bowdee and you will surely do amazing things in this life. I love you up to heaven and back for infinity. You are a true light in my life. Thank you for joining our family 9 short years ago. Our family would not be the same without my Sunshine Boy.

Happy Birthday Kami

Today is my sister Kami's birthday. She is now 36, it is so hard for me to believe because when I am with Kami I feel like I am just a kid again. We are 22 months apart and we have always been together. Roomates from the beginning because we didn't have a choice then roomates when we were young adults because we just couldn't live without each other. We worked at so many of the same places like Bryce Canyon, Solitude, Marriot, FlyTy, 20/21 interactive, and of course Coveys Cove where it all started. Kami is the person I can tell anything and I know she will not judge me. Kami is always ready to kick back and have a good time. She loves being happy and she loves to excersise. Sometimes she likes to excersise to much. And since I am her workout partner I feel the pain. We do so many things the same. We swim the same, snowboard the same, I think we even run the same. Anyway Kami thank you for being by my side whenever I need you. Thank you for trusting me with your children through the years you needed me. I love you so much I hope you know how important you are in my life. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend and person!
