A VERY Merry Christmas

RELAX RELAX RELAX

these 3 words pretty much sum up the way I feel our Christmas went. How many of you can say that?
We woke up a 8am (that is the latest Christmas morning Paul and I have ever had together) and unwrapped presents. Oh so many presents! Santa Claus broought Tre' lots of legos and I was happy about this. I turned to Paul at one point during the day and said "I love a big boy Christmas!" I like the toys that I feel we are actually able to play with him. The inter action and the actual fun that the parent can have. :)
After presents we had breakfast with family/friends, immediately taking ourselves back to living room for lots of playing and hanging out. Both my parents came to visit and in the early afternoon then we headed to have Christmas with the Asay family. It was great!
We were spoiled rotten by our famililes. Thank you ALL!
The time with the Asay family went by so quickly. I don't know if it is the excitement of everything, the love, the friendships, the compassion everyone shows to each other, maybe all of the above. The spirit and the happiness felt on this day I never want to disappear. I want everyone to feel this love and compassion ALWAYS one to another. I know we are not all perfect and at a certain point we would be wishing someone would be mean and pissed off just to show an emotion other than happiness but for what it is worth I LOVE seeing the love and compassion.
I have to share with you all a very special gift that I got from Paul. It is a homemade gift that melted my heart. He made me a book titled "YOU ARE........" as he goes on writing the book there are many pictures of our little family of all the things we have done together. Each page states something like, You are, the jelly to my peanut butter, the spokes to my wheels, the honey to my bee and so on. I will take pictures of this sweet book so you call all see the beautiful and heart felt gift from my one and only. Check back!
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year. We love you all!!!
Here is a peek at the Chritmas a family time we have and continue to enjoy.....

Feeling BLESSED

As I sit here at work on Labor and Delivery this Christmas Eve night I am feeling very blessed. Around me currently there is a mother and father who this Christmas Eve will not be going home with their child. This child has another plan in which her Father in Heaven will be the one to look over her. She may be in this world for a few short minutes but either way her visit is short. My heart and prayers immediately go to this family.
At this time I can't help but think about how blessed I am to have a great husband. One in which I communicate well with. We work together. He is supportive and appreciative.
I am grateful for a healthy, happy and believe it or not, the engery of a sweet boy. For his intelligence, his sweet heart and the continued learning experiences he gives.
I am grateful that my family is in town this holiday season. Dad made it here safely from London. Joey and Natalie gave us all the best Christmas present ever.......... the surprise at our door steps that they were here. LOVED IT!!!!
Wendy has fought round 2 of breast cancer, chemo, a double masectomy and still continues to be the tough go getter and lover of our family. She has let us be apart of this battle the every step of the way. I am greatful that she is here with us.
I am grateful for the tradition we started of Punk sleeping over Christmas Eve with us to then enjoy chistmas morning.
We are missing 2 members of the family, Kyla and Jimmy. The good news is Tre' and I are going to go there to visit them in 2 weeks :) Happy day!!! Can hardly wait for that. See you soon guys.
There are many things that we think of all year round that we wish we had or that we could be blessed with, without taking the time to think of or be grateful for the blessings that are right in front of our faces!
Blessings are not huge, very rare are the huge and obvious. Our Savior is not an "attention seeeker" and will contnually bless us daily and we will see them if we let ourselves.
I love my family and could not be happier that the Lord has worked in many different ways to get us and keep us all together at this time.
My heart feels over joyed.
I am grateful to be here at work this evening to help bring in and watch this little miracle go back to our Father in Heaven. For I am so grateful for the wonderful family I have in my life.

"RoYAl" day at Sugarhouse Park

Today we went to sugarhouse park for one reason and one reason only, to enjoy the entertainment brought to us by Royal Bliss with a ffew back and forths between the playground.
Paul abouslutely LOVES Royal Bliss. After finally seeing them live I could not a gree with him more. Neil,(the singer) is quite talented. I love he way he sings. It is not soothing, it is a rocker/sexy we could listen to you all the time voice.
We listen to them quite frequently in the car so Tre' and I know the tunes. Yes, that is right, I said Tre' and I.
Tre' has a favorite song by them called "We Did Nothing Wrong". Today, Tre' talked to the band himself and made a special request. Before they played the song, Neil, let all know that the next song they were going to jam was requested by a little boy while pointing Tre' out to everyone. It was very cute.
Tre' was all bundled up and freezing but the smile on his face said it all. Congratulations Paul, you have yourself your own little groupie. :)
