Good Bye Great Grandma Lita

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I am sad to say that Great Grandma Lita passed away today due to a battle with Cancer, to her bladder, which spread to her liver. Although Lita had lived along life residing in New York City her entire life we are still sad to see her go. Full of love and laughter she had nothing but love in her heart. I will never forget the first time that Faith and I met her she grabbed Faith and turned the A-track and the record player on and just started dancing away with Faith. That made her day just to be able to hold Faith's hand and dance with her. Great Grandma gave Faith a stuffed animal that was a dog last time we saw her that Faith has always held dear to her and always will. She was the most amazing person in the world. It's so hard to see her in so much pain after seeing her so happy at one time. Al will certainly miss her allot he was very close with his Great Grandma, he was just like her son. Lita took Al under her wing all the time! I am so glad that she got to see Faith before she passed away because that was her last wish! I am so glad that we made that come true! Great Grandma Lita, we love you and will see you in Heaven...

Nothing better than New York City

Our sudden trip to New York City was certainly unexpected, especially a week before Christmas. Unfortunately, it was not for fun. Faith's Great Grandma, Lita was put in the hospital for Cancer of the bladder last month they ended up taking her bladder out. They thought they got all of the cancer until she was admitted to the hospital again and they told us that her Cancer had spread so bad into her Liver that they could not even do Kemo because it was too bad. The doctor's gave Lita two weeks to live. All she wanted before she passed away was to see Faith one more time! Without hesitation Faith and I flew down to New York City to see Great Grandma. We spent the entire time just sitting by Great Grandma's bedside. When we walked in to see Lita she smiled and talked for the first in two day's when she saw Faith. She was so happy to see her. Poor Lita! While we were there we did have some fun! We went ice skating at Rockefeller center, we took Faith to the American Doll store and let her pick out a doll! We visited our favorite Uncle and Aunt, Uncle Bill and Mary. Faith's got to see family that she hasn't seen in a long time. She had a blast with her cousin Jayden. He is so handsome! It was really neat to see Faith be with family. New York is setch a breath taking place regardless of the reason's that you are going. I truly can say that I love New York!

December....

December was a very busy month for us and I haven't had anytime to even think. With two very demanding kids and the holiday's. Along with work being so busy and trying to keep up with home life was sure a struggle this month. I haven't even time to do any post's on my blog of Christmas, so sorry these are so late! My friend Tawnia had to change my blog background to Christmas, LOL. Thanks Tawnia! Getting into the holiday spirit was really tough this year starting it off with the dog chewing on all of our Christmas yard decorations didn't help either. We got the house decorating done late this year but we finally got it done, until the snow covered it all up! Christmas was really quiet around our house, it was just me and Faith the majority of the day. Christmas night we made cookies for Santa and the kids made there Christmas list's for Santa. Christmas morning the kid's were so excited, they woke up at 5AM (boy was I tired) but it was allot of fun because Faith woke up and yelled "It's Christmas" and saying Merry Christmas. She was so excited she went to see if Santa came and then had to go get her brother! She is so thoughtful. The happiness that the kid's have on Christmas really makes me so happy! Christmas day our cable went out because it was snowing sooo BAD, so Faith and I watched Christmas movies all day! I love spending time with the two joy's of my life!

Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer

Faith and I had so much we went over and saw the Reindeer. She was so confused at why the Reindeer wasnt with Santa's sleigh. It was really neat! The Grinch was there too. Faith also went and sat on Santa's lap! It's the funniest thing she use to be so afraid of Santa.
Faith telling Santa what she wants for Christmas and telling the Grinch not to take her toy's!

Happy Birthday Braxtin

Boy how time goes by fast! Braxtin was born on December 9Th, 1997 (my Sagittarius) he was 8lbs 15oz, 21 1/2 inches long and born at 7:28 AM. I know what your thinking, what a big baby! (lol) yes he was.. What an amazing son I have, he has really became a little man. Braxtin is a "daddy's boy" so he is not around much. But I am very involved in Braxtin's life. He loves to ride his bike and race BMX. As of today he is the 3rd place title hold for the state of Utah. I sure love him very much. Braxtin is the one that made me a Mom! I wouldn't have changed it for the world. For his Birthday we had so much fun. Braxtin doest like to have a big party he really would rather spend his time with a few good friends rather than a group of friends he really doesn't care about. We went and had a custom skate board made and then went and had ice cream at Leatherby's. The ice cream was so good and the girls at Leatherby's sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He had a great day and we love him so much! So here was to your 11Th Birthday Braxtin. Mom loves you!

Get well Soon

Last night was a rough night for Faith. She was really sick and couldn't keep anything down, we were up every hour on the hour. She was soooo tired in the morning from being up all night when it came time to go to school she was sleeping, on our dog Chanel. My poor baby was so sick. I felt so bad for her because there was nothing I could do. She had to stay home today. It was the first time that she has ever been sick that I was not home with her. I felt so bad. She ended up hanging out with Brother all day long. He is setch a great Brother he was at her "Beck and Call" all day. We love you Brother....

A Birthday Fit for a Princess

Faith turned 5.. Wow, how time goes by fast. She had setch a blast. Everything was Cinderella! It was so much fun we had a magician and he made a rabbit come out of a bucket and a dove came out of a balloon. It was so amazing. Faith had all of her great friends there to share her special day. Thanks to everyone that helped Faith's Birthday be so magical. It really was very nice, it turned out so perfect! And who could forget the yummy Cinderella cake and Ice Cream? Not Me! Faith got so many great gifts from everyone. Faith had all her friends from school, dance and from home come and make this day so special for her. On the way home from her party she says " I had setch a great Birthday, Mom." and that is just the words that I wanted to hear. At the end of the day that is what makes all the hard work worth it! Faith you have really grown before my eyes. I really wish I could turn back time and make you "My little baby" again but then I wouldn't have all the wonderful great memories that you create everyday. I want to make every day of your life special and something that you will remember for the rest of your life! I love you mama! I hope you had a great day. Here is to your 5Th Birthday. With Love.

Charish them.....

There are only a few people in my life that I really consider my "Friends". I want to really thank all of you, and you know who you are. Thank you for listening to me when all I have to talk about is myself, thank you for just being there to vent. A true friend is there through thick and thin no matter what. They do not judge you and to a real friend you are always right even when you wrong! Thanks Tawnia.. I am glad that I really got to know you the way I do now. You really have shown me the true meaning..

Tag.. I am It!

I have been tagged by my wonderful friend, Tawnia. Does she know what she is getting into by asking me these questions? Well, here goes nothing!
7 Random/Weird Facts about my self....
1. I have a little bit of a Physic power. I can usually tell you what a person's moves are before they make them. I can usually tell you what a person is going to say and do before they do it. Everything that I say is going to happen, ALWAYS end's up happening. HONEST..
2. I love Astrology. I will normally ask a person what their birth sign is before I even know them. That's how I will get to know a person and determine what your like without even asking!
3. I am a very organized person. I have to have everything perfect, my desk at work has to be very clean or I can concentrate. My house has to be cleaned every Sunday or I cannot go to work on Monday.
4. I love Junk Food... Anything that is cookies or cake. I will replace junk food over a meal any day!
5. I hate clutter. If something is not being used around the house ect. It is going in the garbage!
6.I love the rain, I love to open all the window's in the house just to hear the sound of it and smell it! ( I got that from my Mom..)
7.I finished Medical School and did not pursue a career in it because I cannot stand the sight of blood!
... I don't have 7 people that I know that have a blog, so if read this and want to share 7 weird and random facts about yourself I would love to read it... =)

Halloween with Us!

We had a blast on Halloween. The kids went Trick-Or-Treating at my job. They got soo much candy! I was a Pumpkin ( thanks to Tawnia, my wonderful Friend ) and Braxtin was a Play-Boy Bunny ( I know your thinking why would I let him be that?) And little Faithy was Ariel ( the cutest Ariel I have ever seen!) My Mom was Jason from Freddy and Jason. She was so scary it made my stomach turn when I saw her. She ended up winning the "Scariest" costume at our job. Gabi was a cat and Ali was Sleeping Beauty. They looked so flippen cute I couldn't handle it.

Love to Dance

Faith just started dance a few months ago. She is having so much fun meeting new friends and learning new things. They all got to dress up in their Tap/Jazz class. It is alot of fun for her.
