Beautiful Heartbreak

I had an awesome time at Time Out For Women in St George.  I went with four FABULOUS friends and my heart was so full.  Loved this special video that Hilary Weeks made, and it was so touching.  If you would like to share your Beautiful Heartbreak I would love to hear it. 

Please Help Me!!! Comments/constructive critisim welcome

So I went to Time Out For Women in St George with my girl friends, and we had a wonderful time.  We heard wonderful speakers, and listened to wonderful music.  But the thing that caught my attention the most was on speaker talking about juggling plates.  She said the thing is, soon all those plates are going to come crashing down.  Well they did and it hurt, and it still hurts.  My question is what do I drop?  Sometimes I joke with Jer that I can either be a great wife, or a good Mother.  An awesome cook who prepares 3 square meals a day (plus fun and delicious snacks) or I can have a clean house.  But put these things all on the table and I can't even pull off mediocre.  So here's the list:

• Dance (have to drive to Monticello)
• Work (have to drive to Moab, but I love my job and it keeps me sane)
• Football (in Monticello, ps this is where Brother LaRose the seminary teacher is the coach.)
• Scouts
• Primary Chorister
• Chopping and Hauling Firewood
• Feeding and watering the horses
• laundry
• Breakfast
• lunch
• dinner
• snacks
• Cleaning
• Paying bills
• Reading to the kids (1 hour a night)
• homework
• helping in Payton's class
• helping in Parker's Class (in Monticello)
• Visiting Teaching
• Hanging out with friends
• going to the library
• cooking with the kids
• playing lego or transformers
• playing playdoh or barbies
• crafts with the kids
• Doing Payton's hair
• Dr Appts
• Picking up perscriptions (this is actully not on the table I will not give it up, just trying to get perspective)
• Exercising and watching my weight
• Riding for Redd Ranches (take the kids with me on weekends!)
• Watering and Mowing the lawn
• Digital Scrapbooking
• Blogging
• Going on dates
• Going to church
• Going to the temple
• Going to the dentist
• Visiting Family
• Getting Wood
• Camping
• Taking the Trash out, burning it and hauling it to the dump.
• Chatting with Jer
• Doing my hair/make up
• Scriptures and Prayers with the kids
• Sleeping (some people in my life have already given this up!)

Things I want to do but can't seem to fit in

• Making cards/sending out Thank you card
• Gardening
• Scrapbooking
• Visiting people from the ward
• Crafting
• Exercising more
• Rodeo Club
• Horseshowing
• Riding
• Reading books I enjoy
• Sewing
• Thinking
• making sure my kids look nice

Okay if you have made it through this I want feedback, if you have some time saving tips I want those too.

When our Cabin had a Sun Roof

 Every year my Dad has a terrible time with the stovepipe on the cabin.  The snow sweeps it right of the cabin.  It use to just take the stove pipe, but then my Dad had a better chimney jack made, but Mother Nature said take that and ripped the new chimney jack completly off the roof and left our cabin open to the elements.  Leaving us with this lovely sun roof, well not really we had to cut the roof open wider to fix it.  At least he tied himself off, but I 'm glad that Jer wasn't there he would have had a fit!  Everytime we would hear something hit the ground we would all cringe and pick someone to go check to see what had fallen.  Nathan and Dad rigged up a new heavy duty chimney jack, I hope that Mother Nature likes it and dosen't rip half the cabin off this year.

Halloween Last Year

We have already dressed up this year, but I forgot to take pictures.  I know you can't believe it but I did.  Don't worry we are going to dress up again tonight.   Here are some pictures from last year.

I am the Luckiest Girl in the World! (I know cause my cowboy is a world away!)

So my Birthday is tomorrow, and I kind of stink at the whole Birthday thing.  I don't like people to acknowledge it, not that I care about getting older, I just really don't like to have Birthdays.  But I did marry the sweetest person in the world, and he is so super sweet to me.  He is a day ahead of me Dubai and is so nice to make sure and let me know that it is already my Birthday there so he wants to wish me Happy Birthday, and make sure that I have a great day.  So sweet. 
He is also so sweet because he already got me some super cool gifts

• A trip to St. George for TIME OUT FOR WOMEN with my La Sal Ladies, and he even let us use his fancy Motel points. 
• PB Bedding that I found at Down East Outfitters for less than half the sale price.  LOVE IT!!!

• Knee High boots that are going to be delivered by George our Brown Guy tomorrow! (If you don't have a George you are so missing out he is so great!)

Any way I just wanted Jer to know how much I love him and how he makes my days better, I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man.  He makes all those years that I have racked up not  seem so bad!!!J?K I am like good wine and get better with time.
Totally rambling going to bed now

That's Right I have very own Personal Photographer!

So Thankful for my super friend Katie, if it wasn't for her I would only have 2 out of focus pictures of the whole season.  Which Parker wants everyone to know that they are undefeated!!!!  We played the 2 Moab teams twice, and the 2 Blanding teams twice, and were rarely scored on.  The weather was mostly good, we did get rained out in Blanding and had one snowy night in Monticello that I tried to get Greg to call, come on they hadn't even gotten near our goal at night.  I only had to sing "Love at Home" once, which Jer promptly shut me up.  I was also going to bribe Parker $5 to tackle someone, but Jer assures me that next year he will have more fire!  Well I am holding him to that or I am going to start offering Lego guys for tackles.  (Then the other team won't have a chance!)  Loved watching the kids play, but also loved when the season was over so I could quit my daily drives to Monticello.

PS  Huge shout out to our wonderful coach  Randy LaRose.  I love his coaching style, especially after hearing the yelling from the other teams coaches.  The things that you would hear from our sidelines were:  Honor, Integrity, etc....  He made me want to be a better player, person, and parent!
