Awhile back Rebecca introduced me to a lds woman named Stephanie Aurora Clark Nielson she is a mom that has had a blog and was quite popular for her positive outlook on live! Well she and her husband were in a plane crash! They both survived and both are recovery! I have been following her blog since Rebecca shared it with me and I must say that she is a amazing woman what she has gone through in the last months is unbelievable and she is still so loving and up beat! I admire her and wish I could be a better woman so strong! The love that she has for her husband and her children you can feel it in her every word! It would be so hard to wake up months later and having your children not see you for so long being taken care of by others! I just wanted to share how wonderful of a woman that she is and she has touched my life!! The button for her blog is on my sidebar if you want to check it out! There are some very wonder ful women in my life too!
My sister Tiffany is another one that awes me!! I don't think I could deal with some of the trials she has had but the strength and faith that she has amazes me!! I find that my faith waivers and I haven't been through anything near what these two people have! I know Tiff is my little sister but she has been such a example to me! I look up to her in so many ways and I love her so much and I am so grateful for the time that we have had to grow close and I miss her all the time! Okay sorry for going on! But I had to share my feelings and thoughts!!There are others who have touched my life as well but these two were in my thoughts tonight as I was thinking of the many things I could learn from them and be grateful for in my life!

Isnt she just cute!!
Yes she fell asleep like that! She was so tired and wouldnt go to sleep so I ran upstairs to put clothes away and she was crying because I didnt take her with me! And a few seconds later silence and I go and check and this is what I found! My kids just fall asleep in random places~!
A step toward my goal!
Okay as you guys know one of the things I want to do this year is loose baby weight!!! So with Rob schedule it isnt really an option for me to get exercise out of the house on a routine bases! So we decided that we were gonna get an elipitcal for us to workout on at home and today Rob went and picked it up and put it together!! I am so excited!! So now I can become healthier!!
Just some fun stuff!
So on Valentines Day we got up and went to Portland for the day!! It was fun! We went to Ikea!! There was so cool stuff in the as is section! But we had no way of getting it home if we bought it!! We got a bunch of little things for the house! Some stuff for the kitchen! Nothing terribley exciteing! Then we were driving around downtown and came across a place called VooDoo Donuts they were on a show Rob watched I cant remember the channel but they do the top 10 in whatever food or candy etc in each catagory well they were in the top 10 places to go for the best donuts! So we had to go and check it out Rob waited in the line with Sage and Savannah. Cooper and Sierra were asleep in the car so I sat with them! Hunter stayed with us too! The line was out the door and down the street! They have huge donuts and they were very good! It was fun!!!

Splash Day!!
So on saturday we went to Splash a indoor waterpark that they have here! Niki and Ethan went and Lacie, Dan and the boys went and Mom went too! She didnt swim though she watched and took pictures! The kids had a blast and it was nice to do something all together!! Sierra loved the kiddy pool area was not to thrilled about the wave pool she kinda freaked out when the waves kept crashing against us!! Savannah and Hunter had a great time in the wave pool!! Cooper even went on the slide once with Rob and once with me he loved it! Sage was back and forth between the wave pool with Rob and the kiddy pool with me! Sierra loved to walk around the pool holding on to the edge I had to keep up with her!! She slept very well that night! Ethan loved the wave pool he would laugh when the waves hit him it was so cute!!! I have no idea why that one picture came out smaller than the other ones!!!
