Finally....

Ok finally I have time to update this thing. Here is a warning - it could be random so try and keep up.....LOL

Well after helping Laurie set up for prom that Friday night I headed home. On the way home I thought I might stop by and see Jas and Tiff so I didn't take the toll road. So I called Tiff and they were going to bed early so Jas could go hunting in the morning. So I just went on home. As I got on Edan stretch a car was riding my tale so I just slowed down so they could pass me. Well they finally pass. Then they get to Mark and Misty Gary's old house and just stop in the middle of the road, I had to slam on my breaks to not hit them. Well they start to take off and they get in front of Gene Boaz tax service there and stop in the middle of the road and he gets out of the car. I try to find a way to get around him but there is no were to go. I make sure my doors are locked then I turn my lights on bright trying to see who this idiot is. When I put them on bright I guess it pissed him off b/c he ran up to my Jeep and tried to get in the car with me. He is beating on the window and calling me very thing but a white woman. The only I had to use if he got in the car with me is my huge mac flash light to beat him with. Did I mention Kentin Riley was in the back seat. I look back to see if I can back up but there is a car coming and I think that is what made him leave. After he got in his car and left I completely lost it. I called Christon and told him to get home. I did get the license plate number and called one of the police officers but still haven't heard anything from them.....and I'm not holding my breath either.

This past weekend we had Becca's birthday bash and our 6th wedding anniversary. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Rich for allowing Becca to sing kar oke until 3 am.



Kentin Riley is getting so big. He will be 6 months old in just a week. Man does time fly. Emily and Tooter get there license next month.

Also mom and dad's big cookout is just around the corner....June 27th. Hope all can attend.

plan to update soon....not promise

Long time no update.....

OK so I have been terriblity awful about updating this thing. So much has been going on that just haven't found the time.



Kentin Riley will be 5 months old on the 9th...were does the time go? He is growing like a weed and teething like crazy. We are finally starting to grow out of our new born clothes, but not completely. He is now in size 1 diapers. He is rolling over all the time now. He is wanting to crawl so bad but just can't get it yet.

This weekend we have alot going on. I am helping Laurie with prom pictures at the high school. So when I got off work today I went to the grocery then picked up lil man at Kathy's. Then went to the high school and helped Laurie set things up. We will be there from noon til midnight on Saturday. I am excited, I know we will have a blast. Then on Sunday I am going to the hospital to get some iron. I am hoping once I get that I will begin to feel better.

Well tomarrow is going to be a long day so I am going to try and go to bed.

Maw I miss you dearly. You now have 2 more great grandsons and one more on the way. I so wish you were able to meet this wonderful child of mine. He is what you wished of me and more. I know you would be proud.

We all miss you more than we could imagine. I truly think we have all lost a lil weight in the past year without you forcing us to eat every time we walk through the door. Thanksgiving was the first real holiday without you. We managed but as usual Rita was every bit 2 hours late. So everyone was starving by the time she got there. We made it through Thanksgiving fine, we just easier the pain of missing you with food. Christmas wasn't the same without you but we made it just fine. We had a new addition to the family and the news of one more on the way to distract us from missing you so.

Everyone is doing fine. Paw, Steve, Dad, and Garrett are all still arguing. Mom is trying her hardest to keep everyone straight. Morgan and David are getting a new house. Tara is expecting a lil boy in summer. Dalton and Emily are trying to drive and are growing up way too fast. Becca is working and is a full time student learning to become a RN. Karen is teaching in Bowling Green. Christon and I are trying to raise a son. Rita and Dewayne are working things out. Julie will finish college soon. Cody is trying to raise a son. Daniel and Mykle are doing fine. Riah, Mackenzie and Carson are all exploring the world and learning new things everyday.

I wish you were still here to witness this all. But the Lord need a new Angle last Easter Sunday.

I've gotten a lil behind.....

I would like to apologize for not updating is so long. ALOT has happened since the last update.

Well during the ice storm we were stuck at my in-laws from that Monday night till Thursday afternoon. With the weather threatening to get bad early Tue. morning we decided to go on to his mom and dad's to stay just in case the power went out. They have wood heat so if the power went out we would at least have heat. When we woke up Tue morning the rain that we got that night was ice. Through out the week we only lost power a few times, the longest being maybe 5 hours. What was so bad was we had NO contact with the outside world, and when I say no contact I mean no contact, no tv, no Internet, no phone, or cell phone. On Wed. Christon had to take off work and go home. It was to get down to 18 degrees that night and without power everything would freeze and bust. The temp in the house was already down to 42 and Christon had to get the generator hooked up to some small heaters to warm thing up. Right after he got everything hooked up and ready to go the power came back on. He stayed at the house that night and me and lil man stayed at his mom's. I got up and went to work about 10:30 to do some paper work on Thurs. We didn't see patients b/c most still didn't have power or wasn't able to get out. We decided that we would see what patients that wanted to come in on Friday. I finished my paper work and called patients to see who could and would come in on Friday and went on home. I got home from work Christon got ready and went to work and me and lil man settled in to watch tv. The lights start to flicker and I decided I wasn't staying here if the power goes out in the middle of the night. So I packed us some clothes and went to Jason and Tiff's and stayed the night with them. Got up and got ready to go to work and right before I walked out the door Brad called and said to stay at home b/c we didn't have any power at the office. So me and lil man went to the grocery for mom and went to Provo. Mom and dad didn't have any power but dad had the generator running everything. Mom watched lil mac and lil man while me, bubby, Becca, Emily, and Justin went to BG. We went and ate then just rode around for a lil while. I stayed with them that night. Let me tell ya it was a great week to start back to work. I worked only 1 day and 3 hours for the whole week. That is one ice storm no one will forget.

Other than the ice storm we went and visited with Laurie to have pic made. We had a great time and as always Laurie did a GREAT job.

I am happy with ALL of them. Speaking of Laurie she has great news to share with everyone. She is doing Prom pictures again this year. I am so excited for her and also proud.

We had a trip to the doctors office on Monday for our 2 month check up. Yeah he is already 2 months old, I can't believe it myself. Everyone has told me that one day you are holding them feeding them a bottle and before you know it they are married with there own child. How true that is. Kentin Riley is 9lbs. 8 1/2 oz. and 21 3/4in long. We are still sleeping through the night. He is in bed by 10:30pm and up around 5:30am, I couldn't ask for a better baby.

We along with many others are going through hard times. As most of you all know they have layed off 48 more people at Aleris. After 10 1/2 years of working there my husband was one of them. It really didn't come as a shock but you are never ready for something like this. One thing good that has come out of this is we are saving money on baby sitting....lol. Christon didn't like his job and now this is an opportunity for him to go back to something he enjoys....mining. So I ask that everyone remember us and everyone else in your prayers. If no one can provide I know God will.

Hope everyone has a great Valentines day and weekend.

Six weeks into a life time.....

Well six wks into parent hood things are going great. Kentin has made himself a schedule. We get up only twice a night to eat and right back to sleep. I am very blessed to have a husband that helps me tremendously. Kentin amazes me everyday. One morning I laid him down on his belly for some “tummy time” and go to the kitchen and when I come back into the living room he is on his back. He is growing so fast, he has finally grown into new born size clothing. He smiles, coos and fusses at you when your not paying attention to him. He amazes me daily.
At the six wk mark brings other changes for me, I have to return to work. Not willingly might I add but it is a must. With Christon’s job situation not looking good I must keep mine, even if it is just for the insurance and not much pay. Don’t get me wrong I bring home good money but if I have to pick up the insurance for the whole family it will take a lot out of my pay check. I know that a lot people are in the same situation that we are in and it is SO SCARY! I guess all we can really do about it is pray.
Well it is getting late and I need to be in the bed. Until next time.

Christmas.....

This holiday season was one of the busiest but the best.
We celebrated Christmas with my mom’s family at my mom and dad’s house the Saturday before Christmas. We have a large family and I think everyone was able to make it other than Leigh and David, she was on bed rest and not able to come. It was great being able to visit with everyone since I wasn’t able to go to Thanksgiving dinner due to the stomach virus. Everyone was excited to see Kentin, we didn’t even make it all the way in the door with him before they took him from me. I was excited that everyone got to see him.
Our next round of dinners started on Christmas eve. We went to my Paw’s for my dad’s family dinner. Even with all the Christmas cheer it was still depressing without Maw there. We still stuck with all of our traditions, everyone waiting on Rita to eat, then starting with out her, eating way to much, opening gifts, then the rush to get ready for church. Bubby and Christon skipped out on church to go over to mom’s and put her chair together that we got her. After church we went back to Paw’s and ate some more. We sat around and talked about playing cards but never did…lol. We left and headed to mom and dad’s. We stayed there that night, there was no since in us going home b/c we had to be back there the next morning to open gifts with them.
Christmas morning we go up around 9am and mom started breakfast. Bubby and Becca came in not long after. They opened gifts at home before coming over. Bubby got Becca a real pretty ring. Lil mac got all kinds of toys and clothes. Paw and Uncle Steve joined us for breakfast. Mom had eggs, bacon, sausage, biskets, gravy, and all kinds of home made jellies. Needless to say I ate way too much again. After breakfast we opened gifts. Emily got a cell phone, clothes, and money. Mom and dad got all the grandkids saving accounts and us money. Christon got me the griddle and mixer I had been wanting. He got nothing from me, b/c he wasn’t to get me anything to start with. After opening gifts we watched a movie, “Wanted”. Then the guys went down stairs and played pool while me, Becca and Karen played cards. Later that night the guys got a really good pool tournament going and we all ended up down stairs with them. We left around 9pm, Christon’s nephew and his wife were coming in for Christmas and they were staying with us and were almost to the house. We visited with them for a while and went to bed.
We had dinner at Christon’s mom’s on Friday. Christon had to work so I decided that I would just wait for him to get off work to go over there. Daniel and Magen were going to go a head and get ready and go on to Shirl and Arvis’. As they were getting ready Christon’s sister called and wanted us to come on over so she could see Kentin. Reluctantly I got ready and went on over there. I got to see Christon’s sister Madonna that I hadn’t seen in over a year, so we got to catch up on all the latest gossip. We ate dinner after Christon got there then opened gifts. Christon’s mom made us all quilts and pillows. Kentin got something from everyone, he go a piggy bank w/ his first dollar from Christon’s parents. We got home late and went to bed.
Kentin is waking up and is going to be hungry so I will tell everyone about our New Years Eve at a later date, gotta feed my boy.

Kentin Riley's Arrival.....

Ok so it has been awhile. So get ready to read a long post.
Well we got to the hospital on Dec 8th at about 8:30/9pm. They got us back into labor and delivery a lil after 9. Once they got us settled into a room they started my IV. The first one blew so she had to stick me again. The first one left a terrible bruise that just now went away. While waiting on the doctor to come in to give me the medicine to thin out my cervix they came in to go over the epidural and told me that when ever I wanted it just to let them know. He said that they could start it right then but I had no pain and just wanted to sleep. After starting the thinning medicine they gave me an ambian to help me sleep. I don’t remember much until about 5:30am when I started hurting. I called for the nurse and she said she could give me something for my pain or I could get my epidural. I choose the epidural. When they set me up in the bed to start the epidural my water broke. After getting it I went back to sleep. They came in every few hours to check me. I was able to get to 6 cm before they started the patoecin drip.
Mom, Ainie, Uncle Gary, Emily, Laurie and Momma Carol got there sometime that morning. Anine and Uncle Gary didn’t stay long (well they could of stayed longer than I thought I was in and out a lot). Uncle Gary lead us in prayer and then they had to go.
The nurse came in 2 times that I can remember to move me and to slow down the drip. I really didn’t know why. Then the doctor came in and placed an internal heart monitor on Kentin’s head. It wasn’t until about an hour later when the doctor came in that I realized something was wrong. They told me that my contractions were to strong and long and were making Kentin’s heart rate drop. They had to stop my labor a few times just to get his heart rate back up. After explaining to me what was going on the doctor said that I had made it to 9 cm. Then she said that one word that made my heart drop. BUT with the way things are going a c-section is the safest way to deliver. I started crying, this was the one thing I didn’t want. I was scared to death. I was worried about the baby and scared b/c it was major surgery. It wasn’t 2 min after she told me I was having a c-section that I was wheeled into the OR. They upped my epidural and got started. Everything was going great until they were starting to close up. I started feeling pain, my medicine was wearing off. So they went to push more in and the syringe wouldn’t budge. She had to tell them to stop until she could get me something. She worked on the syringe for a bit then just asked if I wanted to go to sleep. So she gave me something that made me sleepy.
When they got me back to my room Bubby and Becca had made it. Christon said that he was 6lbs 4oz. And 18 ¼ inch long and he had his nose and lots of black hair. The next few days was terrible. I had a hard time controlling my pain. The worse was getting in and out of bed. The great thing was Kentin got to stay in the room with us. They came and got him each morning to do his vitals and brought him right back. They have this great thing that all the babies wear on there legs that if they go so far it will lock down the doors and elevators.
We got to come home a day early and I was so ready. With a c-section I had a few restrictions. I couldn’t drive, pick up anything heavier than Kentin and a few other things but those were the most important. Bubby, Becca, and lil mac were at the house when we got here. Lil mac watched Christon carry the car seat in and just looked at it real hard. Christon sit him down it the floor and lil mac looked at the car seat and said “Baby”. We just laughed. She wanted me to pick her up but I couldn’t b/c she was to big. She was so mad at me.
Well Kentin is waking up for his 1am bottle I have to go. I will update soon. PROMISE.
