What happened to my CHILDREN??????

Every fall when my Mom starts to decorate for Halloween she asks all of my brothers and sisters to give her silly pictures of our kids for her walls.
In years past Jami, Josh, and Cassidy have done this for me because I didnt know how to use the program, but this year I did it myself!!!! Yippy for me!! :)

Finally updated family pictures: )

My little Owen has been deemed....

...a BULLY!!! Went to the gym today after getting Jaden and Bradley off to school. Signed Owen into the gyms child care and went to my first machine of the day to do some cardio. I have about 2 minutes left- sweating like craziness- when I hear my name over the speaker. I hop off the treadmill and head over to the child care room thinking that Owen just needs to be changed. Nope! No such luck! He was kicked out for the day for hitting 2 kids!!! He has had a bit of a problem lately with hitting when he doesnt get what he wants. John and I have introduced him to the corner and they have become good friends! Too good of friends. He doesnt mind being put into the corner and even laughs when we send him there. Help please!!! What have you done when your children went through the hitting stage! I really dont want to have him band from going to the gym and they said that if he hits one more time then he wont be allowed back. So what should I do??? I need your HELP!!!!

This time the RUMORS were True!!!

Over the past year there have been rumors of a split, but it never happened. Our ward just continued to grow and grow. Now that we have split at the seams we have finally split for real.

The good thing is is that we still have the same bishopric. They were all recalled to preside over the newly formed Shadow Ridge Ward.
I will miss everyone in our old ward (especially the Young Woman you all have a place in my heart!), but we still share the building and our kids still go to the same schools.

I am looking forward to this change, with change comes growth. It couldnt have come at a better time!

RANT

I really wanted to go and see a movie tonight, so I went to IMBD to see what was playing and found that 7 of the movies out right now are rated R. Rated R!!! Whats with that?! So what are my other options? Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants- um no, Mama Mia- saw it on the strip loved it but I dont really feel like watching it on the big screen, and please- House Bunny- give me a break!!! What is up with the lack of GOOD entertainment?!

Bradley's Prayer

"Heavenly Father, My family is great. Mom is beautiful. Daddy is great. Daddy is handsome. I handsome. Jaden is cute, she's beautiful. Owen's handsome. Boog is a good boy and I'm a good boy. Keep my family safe. Ummm... Amen."
