I'm off work till the 28, recovering from a bad case of Vertigo or Labyrinthitis, got up very dizzy this morning again, and the nausea started again. I have been following my therapist adviced buth I'm still dizzy. I am sick of feeling dizzy. I must stay positive that I will be back to normal here soon. I have to clean house but everytime I turn or bend over I feel like I'm going to fall, but I must still keep trying.
Jake and Alex are home sick today, they have a bad cough and sore throat. Kallie was sick Monday and Tuesday and had a hard time staying at school today. We are house full of sickies today.

College?? Jake?? Fall??
Oh my!! I found myself today making calls. My Jake will be attending college this comming Fall, and knowing how he is, a little anxious about growing up and facing the world, I think we are going with a new college that just opened up in Nampa. Jake is confused about what career path to take, but he has some ideas. His number one choice is to be a high school teacher, number two is to be an Xray (Imaging) technician, number three a counselor. My job as a mom is to help him achieve his goals but not push to hard, but just hard enough to get him excited about it, because right now he is a bit scared. My Jakey is amazing. He is quiet and reserved at home, but when he is at school he is very popular and outgoing. He has a cute girlfriend too. Well, I will be doing lots of praying and I will be attending the Temple this Friday just for that, to pray for my boy and that he will make good choices.
I worked on Shawn's taxes this week. He's been with T-mobile for three years now and he is making very, very good money, I almost flipped over when I saw his W-2. I couldn't believe it! I told Shawn we needed to get him on a mortgage this year, that way he can deduct mortgage interest next year. He is still waiting for Becca, who is serving a mission in Palmira New York. Becca is an amazing girl! She has a sweet spirit, she is beautiful and to top it off, very well educated, she has a Masters on Arquitecture, wow!

Today..
Golly gee, today I cooked all day. Once in a while I just love to cook all day. Today I made 2 homade pizzas, I made cream of potato soup for my son Shawn who is sick, I made Flan for dessert, I also made pesto for tomorrow;s dinner and special noodles for Alex who is also feeling sickie.
Brett my handsome husband of almost 26 years turned 50 years old last a few weeks ago. We had a both dressed up and went out for lunch to Olive Garden. My baby looks good and he works out everyday, all just for me he says, lol. I know he doesn't like to talk about being 50, he is not comfortable with that age, he says he looks and feels 35 and I agree, so even do he turned 50 he really is 35 and we'll leave it at that.
Kids are sick today. My mom is coming back from Peru and I can't wait to see her again! My dad'd wife is also coming so that will be something, to meet his wife for the first time. My mom is very cool about the whole situation wit my dad, so we are all relieved.
I miss my daughter Erica, she moved away a few months ago and she is doing just fine. I miss her terribly! I had no idea that when kids moved away it would be this hard. I love you Princess!
My boys...
I went to church last Sunday and my son was paying his tithing, it was a lot of money for a guy his age, that money he could have spent buying clothes, going to resturants and movies and having fun, but instead he faithfully payed his tithing. Times like this I feel proud to be his mother. He has no idea how proud I was of his for being obedient and faithful. His other sibblings are watching, and they will learn that the law is important, not only because is a law, but because they see their brother do it. Moment like this I feel very bless and very thankful to have kids that love the Lord.
Alex came home all excited, he passed all his classes. You see, Alex struggles at school, and school does not come easy for him. Alex passed all his classes!!! That's awesome! My Alex rocks!
Alex is a genious in other areas. He is the best 15 year old guitarrist in the world to me. His dad even admits he is a genius with his music. I love my Alex.
Jake is a wonderful musician also, he is playing the drums. What makes Jake special to me? He is caring, loving, obedient, he babysits lots for me, and is a very good helper around the house.
I thank God for my wonderful boys!

Hanna Montana is a popular show here at my crib, our whole family enjoys watching that show. The other day, Brett and I were at the Disney store and they were having a sale on their Hanna Montana stuff and we had to get Kallie the whole outfit, even the wig. Here are pictures of Kallie as Hannah Montana and Miley Cirus, you be the judge, I like her better as Miley.

Mother's Day....February 2008
Not to far ago I had one of those days I will never want to forget in my life. I can't believe it's taken me this long to write it on my blog.
I was thinking of Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, and I was thinking what was one of my greatest "motherly" moments this year and one special evening with my son Shawn came to my mind. You have no idea how many days and nights I have thought about documenting this moment, this was indeed a night I never, ever want to forget.
Before Shawn started in Management with T-mobile, he was the top agent here in Boise, so there was a huge award dinner he was invited too, along with other agents that performed well during 2007. They called the agents the top ten. My Shawn was the best of the top ten, lol. Shawn was dating at this time, but he asked me to be his date for the night to this amazing ceremony. It was held downtown Boise at the Grove. The first room was a nice cozy room where we gathered together to meet other people and enjoy some yummy appetizers, they had yummy shrimp, salsa, meatballs, chicken wings, drinks, etc. It was very fancy. We took pictures, and I ate and ate. No one told us that there was more food coming, and the appetizers were so good we had quite a few. Next thing, they ask us to move to another room... oh my gosh! we were greeted to loud music as we walked in, the managers had lined up and we entered this gorgeous room all fancy decorated were we were supposed to have dinner and they were to give away awards to their Top Ten Employees. The food was amazing, We both had the steak dinner. The decorations were all done in Black and hot pink. When they called my son to receive his award people cheered and it was a very joyous time for me as a mom. Son did not only received and Ipod, gift certificated and award, but for being the best they had rewarded him an all expense four day trip to Vegas, all paid, including accommodations and entertainment, and even money. How can I ever forget this day. I have the feeling there is more to come, since I have five children, but this was the best Mother's Day gift ever. Shawn, thanks for opportunity I have to be your Mom. I love you son.

Valentine's Day...Love is in the air
I had a trip planned for V Day. Brett and I will be married 25 years on that wonderful day. Due to my new job training schedule, I can't go on that trip. I look forward to celebrate in a future date with my husband. So go ahead, ask me how did I manage to keep a happy marriage for so long? If you really want to know my secret, here it is:
Communication - I know how to talk to Brett and he knows how to talk to me.
Admiration - He spoils me rotten, he treats me like his queen and tells me he loves everything about me, he hold me and kisses me everyday, we are crazy about each other.
Attraction - Loving ourselves first, alows us to love each other even more. I know when I gain weight I feel very insecure (I gained 8 lbs after Christmas). I guess we are meant to grow old in style. I'm happy for evey single surgery there is to make people look young and I'm not to far off from having my first face lift, and neither is Brett, hahaha.
Commitment - To the relationship, we are commited to stay together no matter what's trown our way.
Fun - That is self describable, FUN with the family and as a couple in everything you do.
Brett and I don't have much in common, he likes rock music I like pop, he plays different instruments, I play none, he likes foods I hate, I like dancing he really doesn't, he loves watching movies, I'm not to crazy about it, but I support his likes and he supports mine. What we do have in common is our religious beliefs, our moral up-bringing and shopping, Brett and I love to shop, I don't know how many guys enjoy shopping with their wives, but mine does, he likes me to "model" for him and try on new clothes and shop for bargains... we are huge bargain shoppers. We don't buy much that's not on sale. Another thing we do is pray, we pray for everything we love and we give thanks. Lately, our family has not been praying together and writing this down reminds me to do something about about it.
Trials - Brett and I have had our share of trials, we've been hit hard in 25 years... We lost a child together, we had ups and down with our relationship and children, he's had some terrible health issues, we are far from perfection. Every trial we've had has been a learning experience for us, and we have grown from it. I can honestly say I'm thanksful for my trials.. regarding my son that past away, I'm thankful for the three months he was here with us, and wouldn't trade those three months for anything in the world, even if I had to do it again. I hold on to the moment I get to see him once again. I'm indeed thankful for my trials.
