Sleding

With all the record snow here we had to take advantage.
We had a wonderful Christmas.
Guitar hero will now be mastered, after Lego Indiana Jones.
Miss you all:)

Happy Thanksgiving.

I had a different Thanksgiving this year. Mom invited us out to St. George to celebrate with Ron's brother Joe and his wife Susan. I was very grateful for the wonderful meal. After dinner we had these little fortune cookies and mine was perfect. (Try looking at things from another's point of view). Well I did just that and what I realized is that we are all so similiar when it comes to caring and loving for our family's. Ron was so good at taking care of his mom. Susan and Joe were so good at making a wonderful place for their grandkids to run and enjoy the day. The boys tooks full advantage of the kids room, located in a far away corner of the home:) Mom was so good at talking me up in regards to climbing. So although I missed cooking a dinner this year, it was wonderful to see thanksgiving through another family's eyes.

I am thankful for my kids, they are my all. I am thankful for each new day. I am thankful for my new job. I am thankful for my loving and caring family.

Damon "I am thankful I am a good artist, and so far a good life, and the food we eat, the roof over our heads, and the things we drink."

Carson "I am thankful for where we live, and things we drink, and the food us eat. I am thankful for the world, I am thankful for alive, and water."

Snow in Vegas

They managed to find it.

Carson is doing well lately in school we are really excited to see his improvements with writing sentences. It has been hard for him at times and he has broken down in tears a few times in class when he is frustrated with writing. I got some good advice from another mother about dyslexia and how to test for it. Most public schools don't look for it. His teacher has been great to work with despite his tears. He is such a wonderful boy and really has no other problems other than his speech and writing. I know that this is going to take time, and it sure does. Homework time with him can take hours to accomplish, but it is so worth the time spent when I get a report back from his teacher saying he is taking a part in writing his sentences with his peers and that he got 100% on his spelling test:)

Damon

My little man... he is growing so fast.

He is just amazing to me, I am so glad to be his mother.

Updates

Here is a photo of me on my last day of school. I changed my hair to brown now and I love it! I am walking with my class this Friday!

So the weather has finally come down from the upper 90's to the 70's and it feels so nice. Damon is up to his usual, pokemon cards, video games, and riding his bike with his friends.

Carson my darling, my sweet is working hard and I must say it is paying off. He is always running to catch up with his bro and sometimes he even passes him.

Brian, has been a wonderful support for me this last little while and I appreciate him so much.
He is building a home climbing wall for those colder days, and to train, but really you could climb out here like everyday of the year!

Graduation

The day is arriving...October 17th. It has been a fast 7 months for me. I am really excited for the next step of getting a job.

Ever felt left behind?

I have...

a lot, but I am making a very brave and huge effort to get caught up...to? This is where I start to loose myself and my focus. I notice that I have ran in the opposite direction many times before and with really no apparent reason. Must have been all that running I did as a kid.
So this is what I do know...

I love my children and want the best for them.

I want to be a massage therapist and will be done with school in 5 weeks!

I forgot why I am living with my ex? Will someone please remind me?

I love to climb and have a lifelong goal to climb 13a.

The boyfriend and I out on our weekly venture.

The old project a really nice 11.c

The new project 11.d

So with everything still intact I am working towards those fabulous goals.

Mt. Charleston

Just 20 minutes away is beautiful Mt. Charleston it is a lot cooler than in the city and so pretty.

Brian has arrived from Utah and been here for about a week. So this was his first time rope climbing here and we are both so excited for our list of new projects.

Boys didn't climb, but had fun running around making forts. Felt good to get some fresh air.

Love and kindness

Some days you get the chance to look around at your family and see how much love and kindness they possess. I am always amazed at the little things my children do to learn and explore their environment.

A wonderful friend...

Brian has been an inspiration to me.

He introduced to me massage, and to the ways it helps your body.

He helped me have a better understanding of myself while climbing, but mostly how important it is to just enjoy it and nothing else.

He continues to be a wonderful supportive friend.
