I found this on Facebook today and loved it:

Firefighters Wife's Prayer-


Lord I thank you for my husband. This firefighter that I love. Give me strength to give him support with your guidance from above. Make me a good partner, attentive listener, my husband's best friend. When I chose him I chose a firefighter, and the job on which we depend. Lord, keep my firefighter safe when our plan's have gone awry, Answering an emergency call with a life or death cry. Keep the gusting winds and raging flames from being his final fate. Help me cope with the trauma of being a firefighter's mate.


I wanted to share it with all of you.

Major Slacker!!

Wow, it has been over a month since I posted last. Not much has been going on, although we are enjoying this lovely weather. (which will be changing soon).

April 2, Jon and I celebrated our 11 Wedding anniversary! We went to dinner and a movie. We haven't gone out too much, so it was nice to have a date night.

Jon's lawn business is booming and keeping him crazy busy! Which is great! I think he is beginning to age, Aerating has started to kick his butt. His back has gotten pretty sore.

Ayden and Addi are doing well. Ayden loves school and will be starting soccer May 2. She is very excited and is hoping her uniform is PINK!!!

Addi is a spit fire!! She keeps us so busy, she is always into something and is always on the go.

She is talking so much and her little voice is so sweet.

Today I got to go with Ayden to Wheeler Farm for her school field trip. We got to ride on the bus and sang songs. The kids loved all the new baby animals.

43 Years..WOWZA!!

Today is my parents 43rd Wedding Anniversary!!!

We love them both so much! We are truly blessed to have them as parents and Grandparents. The are very selfless and absolutely love spending time with their family!!

Have a wonderful anniversary, We love you both!!!

Kids Fair

On Friday, we went to the Utah Kids Safety fair. We met Ayden's cousins /Aunts and Uncle there and had a great time. Jon was working at it....teaching the kids Fire safety. It was neat to see how interested the kids were in all the fire safety. The favorite part was crawling through the trailer full of smoke and finding a window to climb out. The Fair was free, I would recommend going next year.

Addison Kate!

Today we took Addi to get her 1st haircut! I was SO tempted to get it cut into a bob, but decided to just trim it up. I wasn't ready to give her "pig tails" up yet. She was so good, she didn't cry and loved looking at herself in the mirror.

Winter Olympics

Today at Pre-School Ayden and her class participated in the Winter Olympics. She said they had lots of fun, but could only remember the sledding part of their day.

Ayden enjoys Pre-School so much, she loves all the kids in her class and she loves her teachers. I am so impressed with Ayden, she can recite the Pledge of Allegiance on her own. Her favorite past time at home, is to play school.

She also thought it was so cool that they got to wear all of their "snow gear" to school and wore it the whole day... she is so easy to please:)

Sad day

Today, we got a sad email from my sister in law. The email was to tell us that their wonderful dog, Tasia died yesterday. Their kids were/are so heart broken. They buried her and had a funeral for her.

I told Ayden that our dog, Oakley, now has a friend in heaven. She said, "howcome?" I told her that Tasia died and went to Heaven, now Tasia and Oakley can play together. Ayden said, " that's good, because we need friends in heaven."

Kids are so sweet! And that's the truth, we all will want and need friends in heaven!
