Well Trev just turned 39!! It's crazy to me that I have loved him for 17 years! He is so great! He is kind loving thoughtful hardworking great Dad and he loves the gospel! His birthday always falls on August long weekend! We had dinner at our friends the renuads house on Sunday and we celebrated him there on Monday we went to myrons land and we went quading and dirt biking and we played in the creek with kayaks and had a hotdog roast where we celebrated Trevor there It was a great day! Everyone had a lot of fun!
On Tuesday we went to wallys beach and had a great afternoon there. I love going there with my kids. They always have a great time and it is so nice not to have them staring at electronic or fighting!
Today the real day of his bday we took balloons and timbits to his office to celebrate him and took him out for lunch. He picked and we went to the dynasty. Then at night we had Emma and Myron over for his bday dinner of steak and potatoes and broccoli and garlic bread. I went all out and made a doughnut cake!! I thought it was a great night and I hope ha the does as well!
On a totally different topic my mom is driving me nuts. She never calls me and it's like pulling teeth when I talk to her to get a reponse or a conversation going. She told/texted me that she was mad that I don't like her Facebook stuff or comment on it. I told her that I always call you and would rather a relationship that is in person then on screen. Then today she announced that randy had had surgery. Everyone else knew but I didn't have a clue. She says that she told me but I just don't listen. She told me it would be sometime in the summer but the had no definite date. Ugh she drives me nuts!! Why does she live and thrive on craziness!!

Summer is slowly slipping away!! I'm always so so sad! I LOVE Summer! It is a time to recharge and connect with me kids and not really have a schedule but to always have an adventure almost everyday! We have been rafting a couple of times hiking a couple of times and swimming lots. We have had cousins stay with us and we have had basketball camps! We have had lazy mornings and friends over in the afternoons. Summer is just so much fun. I hope my children fondly look back on summer and tenderness.
I have recently started a new job working for the steed doctors as front end receptionist. I am there one morning a week and it's a perfect outlet and an opportunity to provide some extra money! I hope that this can continue.
I have also started teaching relief society and it makes me kinda stressed out. That level of preparation is a lot! I hope that I can become more confident with it!
We have some really good friends (Russ and Amanda Jensen) going through a divorce right now! It is so sad and heart breaking! I really don't understand where Amanda is coming from. She is the one wanting the divorce and I feel that she will look back and think the grass isn't greener on the other side. I really hope that she knows what she is doing! I love Amanda but I am finding it harder and harder to remain friends with her. But I know that she will need a safe place to fall!
On Saturday we went to Waterton. I really do love Waterton on a no wind day. We finally hiked up and through red rock canyon. It was awesome!! The water was cold but the kids had a great time. Even those the typically whine (Nyla) had a lot of fun and asked when we would be doing that hike again! Win win!
We aew off the beazer place to go quading and play in the creek to celebrate Trevs bday with his family. I hope that it is fun and everyone has a good time. We sure do love Trevor and everything that he is for us. I hope that he feels this love!

July 17 2016
It has been a very long time since I have last written two years ago. Lots has happened and I am saddened that I haven't kept up. This is me attempting to become better!
My children have growen and keep on growing. Briggs is going into grade 7 he has had a great first year of middle school. Not without his challenges he broke is collar bone and tore his AC in his first football game of the season. It prevented him from doing cross country and and playing football and for us to do a 4 day float trip down the green river in Utah. It was 3 days away. But he made new friends and strengthened old friends. He gave up soccer this year and it has been hard on me because he was so good!! He loves football and basketball and then soccer and cross country. He has just become a YM and got to go on his first scout camp. He went to Waterton and hiked the triple crown. He loved it and came home really really tired. A sign of a good camp.
Nyla is going into grade 5 and is a great gal. She is a strong student and a great leader and friend. She is still playing violin and is doing really well at it and has fallen in love with basketball. It has been fun to watch her grow and develop.
Benson is going into grade 3. He loves to play with Hannah and pretty much anyone that wants to have fun. He is ray of joy. He try's to be such a good boy and loved getting baptized. He is speaking so much better and is doing well in school. Things don't come easy for him but he always works hard and try's his best.
Hannah is going into kindergarten in the fall. She could of gone last year but we decided that she shouldn't go and be he youngest the afternoon before kindergarten started. She is excitted and ready to go now. I will miss my little buddy.
Trevor has switched jobs since the last time I wrote. He now works for the city of lethbridge as the GM of all the IT there. He got this job 2 years ago and it has been a really good move for him. He has room for growth and as a bonus his salary doubled!! He has been the 2nd counsellor in YM and the last 2.5yrs he was YM president. Trev truly loves YMs and it was really painful when he was released 3 days before Briggs turned 12. I actually had a really hard time with this, and told
the bishopric that I was hurt and disappointed as I was expecting Trev to be there for a safe place for Briggs to fall. The bishop wanted to see me that Sunday and to give me a new calling but Trev said that it might not be the best day as she is really upset that I am being released today. But this could be really good for Briggs as well. It will just have thrown off my mojo of Tuesday nights and Sunday morning meetings. The whole 9yeara we have lived here in fairmont Ward he has never been home Tuesday's and Sunday mornings. This will something new, and to add salt to the wound he no longer has keys to the church.
I have been trying to find a balance for me and have been having a hard time with friends and finding my place. I have some really great friends and some friends that I have had to close off because I didn't agree with the way they were living their lives. After 13 years I have found a little job being a front end recpetionist at the steeds dr. Office. So far this is only one morning a week and I am really excitted about it. I am hoping that I can make it through this year and then make it more hours next year. I am working on finding my hobbies again and rediscovering new ones. I have been taking parenting classes to help better myself as a parent to increase my realationship with my children. Some days I am on point but most days I fail! I love them but I have been feeling like there is a weight on my shouldersI have just been released from teaching Nyla's primary class for the last 2 years. I have taught her for a totally of 4 years. I love those kids and would love to be in yw wirh Her. I now am a teacher in relief society. Eek! I have never taught adults before. I had my first lesson today and it was on the importance of temples. I thought that it went really well. We will see if we can keep this trend going.
Our family has done some really fun things over the last 2 years. We have gone skiing for a week each year at reading week. We have gone biking on the white rim trail in Moab Utah. That was amazing. We have bikes the Hiawatha trail. We have gone to conference and BYU football games. We always spend a week or two in Kalispell in the summer going rafting and meeting up with friends to go boating. We had planned to float the green river in Utah last year but at the very last second we were unable to because Briggs hurt himself. Trev and I were able to be mas and pas last year at trek and that was a great experience. Unfortunately/fortunately we were in the middle of a drought and all of southern Alberta fasted for rain that weekend and the rains did came. We stayed dry but a couple of other families did not and trek ended early. I had HUGE blisters on my feet so bad that I was unable to wear my shoes for the whole summer
