Frogs Anyone?

So I have a very funny frog story to tell but I already typed in out on my blog and it was quite long. You will all have to check it out.
They are for sale now. Unfortunately the kids will probably have to come too.
2 kids, 4 frogs for $20.
I will even throw in another kid for no additional charge.
What a steal!

Hello all, well I just thought I'd drop a line and say hi and put some more pictures on here for you to see. I am doing good the worst is almost over Oct 3rd and I'll be done no more 9pm curfew and dealing with a bunch of stupid people thank god. I hope everyone is doing well. Work is going pretty good it's up and down and I'm always looking for more business the busier the better right. Well here's some more pics for you to see. I don't really have any more news nothing exciting happening for me at the moment just working but I'll let you know if that happens to change.

Love ya

I guess I'm boring...

I haven't posted much on the blog lately and I guess it is just because I have been so busy. My phone rings off the hook all day, I have to help the kids with homework and get them fed in the evenings and by the time I get a minute to myself all I want to do is bury my face in a book for a few minutes before bed. I have been out of town every weekend for the past 3 months except for last weekend when we took the kids to the fair. It was a nice change to be able to sit home and not be pent up with the kids in the truck. I have bought them all earphones to listen to their movies in the truck but they wont wear them. It is very nerve racking to listen to their tv blaring and them arguing. This weekend, I decided that I was going to be the one to wear the earphones and they could play and scream in the backseat to their heart's content, which they did, and I didn't hear a damn thing!! It was wonderful to just listen to my music and pretend that they weren't there!! The drive went by so fast! All was well until Garrett was having convulsions in the back seat because he said he had to go to the bathroom. Of course he waits until I am on I-15 in Orem to tell me this and only 10 min from home. I had to get off the freeway and find an empty parking lot for him to go. I know that sounds bad but pulling into a gas station and having to go in with him takes too much time. Then I always feel like I have to buy something. So I guess I should be glad I have boys and they can pee wherever. It saves me time AND money!
The kids all enjoy going to Hanksville and riding their motorcycles. Garrett got a new 4 wheeler a few weeks ago because his motorcycle had a bunch of problems and it was going to cost more to fix it then it was worth. He loves to be able to cruise it around and especially likes that it has reverse! He is doing very well in school as usual and is reading way above his level. He loves to play basketball and he is practicing everyday. He always asks me if I can move my truck out of the driveway so he can "shoot some hoops"! He is definetely an antaganist and takes every chance he can to annoy his brothers.
I can never get Weston off his motorcycle. He is riding so much better this year. He is growing so big!! I can't believe he will be 9 soon. He acts like such a grown up sometimes. Other times, it is a little too extreme. Just a little bit ago, I heard Garrett crying downstairs. Weston was telling him that he was sorry and that it had been an accident. Garrett kept crying thinking of course tht I would come running, which I didn't. Then what do I hear next..... but this from Weston's mouth, "Stop crying or I will give you something to cry about". Apparently Weston had shot Garrett in the back of the head with something from his sling shot (not entirely an accident like he had said it was I'm sure). Garrett of course had hit his brother back, and then proceeded to cry until his mother came running. Good thing, I have this game figured out. But I was pretty surprised when I heard those words come from Weston's mouth. He still loves to play with his toys and is pretty much off in la-la land when he does. He doesn't hear or understand anything I say when he is playing. He is also doing good in school and loves to play soccer and football at recess with all his friends.
Braxton has begun to turn into the dreaded teenager!! I'm assuming that is what has brought on the eye rolling, forgetting his brothers at school and the in-one-ear-out-the-other syndrome. I sure hope this won't be as bad with boys as I have heard it is with girls. He seems to be doing better in school this year and I have tried to stay more on top of his assignments. (He got behind a few times last year and wasnt doing and turning in all of his assignments like he said he was) He spends a lot of time in his room with the radio on playing his video games, plays sports in the backyard with the boys and hangs out with his friends whenever we will let him! He will be 12 at the end of this month, so stay tuned for all of your invites to the birthday party.
I spent the day with Mom last week which was nice because I haven't gotten to do that for a while. I was so used to just running downstairs at England when I had something to tell her. The day spent together wasnt really planned though because she ended up stranded in Lehi longer than she had planned. Dennis, Mom and I went to breakfast in the morning and then she had to suffer through my errands with me in the afternoon but she was a good sport.
I took the boys to Party Land last week and let them all pick out their costumes for Halloween before all the selection is gone. Time is going by so fast!!! I guess I need to start making my lists for Chistmas!!! AAAHHHH I shouldn't say that. I don't have time for Christmas and I'm sure you all feel the same way.
Wow, that was a lot from me and in between kids fighting, their reading time, snacks and bedtime...... I have finally finished!!
WHEW!!!
Here are some pictures from the fair.

"I Believe" Poem

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.
I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.
I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I Believe...
That my best friend and I, can do anything,
or nothing and have the best time.
I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but, we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life Forever.
I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.
I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
I Believe...
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything.
I Believe...
That what You say is not as important as what You Do.


Okay a friend of mine had this poem posted on her myspace so I thought I'd share it with you since nobody else ever posts anything on here anymore.

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd drop in an give you another update. First I have decided that I am not moving in with Tracy after all we are just gonna be friends and if something happens later then it does if not then were still friends. Other than that things are going pretty good so far. I went to the Ritchie Brothers auction for work last week and got at least one new customer so it turned out ok. Steven of course is a teenager and I have to track him down to learn what's up with him. He is also bugging me to get a place for me and him as soon as I can so I will start working on it soon. I am staying busy and out of trouble just working mostly so nothing too exciting happening for me just living life. Well since I never got to put pictures of my tattoo on here before I am going to throw them on here now along with pics of me and Whiskey fishing at Utah Lake and me and my nieces so you can check it out . I will keep taking pics and be back to give you another update if anything interesting starts happening for me.

I hope everyone is doing well and I would like to hear from you once in awhile. Bye for now

Love you all

Suzy
