No grade

It is a good thing I don't get graded on my blog because I don't post enough, I would fail. Let me catch everyone up on a few things....

One of my friends from church is into photography. She is much smarter than I, and she has been sharing some of her knowledge with me. So I have been taking lots of pictures mainly just for practice.

My cousin randomly called me and asked me to come get some practice at her cousin's wedding. Of course I accepted, so I got to do my first wedding. There was a "hired photographer" there, so there was no pressure on me. Although I was just practicing I am lead to believe that my pictures turned out better than hers. beings all she had just a regular dinky digital camera. Anyways, so here are a few of what I did.













Another step in life...potty training. It's been off and on with our busy schedules but Jillian is so excited to go potty. We have an Elmo potty seat that she calls "lala". (La-la la-la la-la la-la elmo's world) She pretty much just goes into the bathroom and goes by herself most of the time. She is doing a fantastic job considering we've just started.


Oh and she loves Dora and her Dora underwear. :)


So this month we dealt with the passing of Jeremy's 42 year old aunt Gidget. What an eye opener that was, to see that a life can be taken at any time. It makes me appreciate my life a lot more! I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally and treats me with nothing but respect. I love you Jeremy!

And to have the knowledge of the after life and that I will some day be able to see aunt Gidget again was so comforting.


I know that it is only the beginning!


Jeremy and his beautiful cousin Amber.


And with funeral comes family all together. I was so happy to see everyone together again. Some visits are so few and far between. It's sad that it took a death in the family to get everyone together, but whatever the reason I am glad I got to see everyone again. I love family!

Grandma Everett and all the great grandkids from our side.

A Complete 5 Generation picture! This is MY whole crew. What a wonderful picture that is!


And a complete 5 generation picture of THE whole crew. What a special moment. Thanks to all who came and made this possible. We will treasure these pictures FOREVER!

sick and tired.

Literally we are all sick and I am so tired. I feel so worn out...but don't we all. Today is Jillian's turn to be sick. The rest of us have already had it. Jeremy and Daisha are the only ones who hasn't gotten it yet...watch out! Oh it's so hard having sick kids.

I just wanted to post today mainly to tell everyone how proud I am to be married to Jeremy. He is so smart! Lately our business has been through the roof. He has decided to make this business our lives and he has put so much into learning about it and searching for good deals and he has been very successful! I am so proud of him. Jeremy is filled with unconditional love for me. Some days I am so short tempered and still all he says to me is "I love you". Really? What a comfort he is to me. He's always telling me to stop stress about things and to just enjoy life. It's so true, life is short enjoy it! Even when I am stressed out, upset and short tempered I love him too! I am so glad I have him, not just for while we are here on earth but for eternity.

What a relief it is to know a little about the eternities. Well I don't really know much about it but I do know that our family will be together even after this life. Lately there have been lots of deaths in our families. It is such a comfort to know that I will have the opportunity to see those people again. It's been almost a year since my grandma pasted away and my mom is working on getting her temple work started. I am so excited! She is going to let me be involved too. I can't wait!!

Oh and now for some fun news...I have been playing with my camera and trying to learn how to use the different modes. I have a friend from church who is helping me and teaching me all she knows. I got to practice at my cousins' cousin's wedding. It was so much fun! I don't feel like a professional at all, but it's pictures and it's a good start. I can't wait to be able to do professional shots. :) It will come with time. Anyone who would let me take some "stacy practice pictures" feel free to call me anytime!

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately with my church calling. I am serving in the primary presidency. What a job that is! The kids are great though and the people I work with in the presidency are wonderful. With everything going on in my life right now they have been my little support group. They are all fabulous people! I am so blessed to have gotten this calling. And I have lots of learning ahead of me.

Jeremy has started his last semester and so far has all A's. Hopefully he can keep it that way. Daisha is doing well, my big 2nd grader! Tucker is loving school. It seems like he hardly ever goes though. His schedule is weird, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday. Well there's already been a Monday holiday and another Monday off next week. But he likes school, so any day he can get he loves it. I got my first call home from the teacher the other day. I thought for sure she was going to tell me Tucker talks to much in class, but nope. She said he is wonderful and such a great kid. It's nice to hear good things about the kids from their teachers but it kind of gets boring...they are such a pleasure to have in class blah blah. Guess that's better than them in trouble all the time and being a disruption. :) Good job kids momma taught you well. :)

Well, I'm sure I left out a very things but that's all I have for now. Sorry I'm not a very good blogger.
