KJ's ER Visit.....

 Boys can be BOYS!!!

This was KJ's first time to the hospital as a patient since he was 3 months old! Saturday September 10th I was in the kitchen trying to make some dinner and Kepu and the boys were in the living room watching the BYU game... things were intense with Kepu... especially since BYU was down in the fourth quarter!

Next thing I heard SMACK (the sound of Kj hitting his head on our TV table). I came running into the front room to see what had happened and much to my amazed KJ wasn't crying but holding his heading telling me "mommy my head hurts!" As I moved his hand from his forehead I saw the deepest gash with blood easily flowing out of it. Trying not to freak out we were able to apply pressure and drove him to the hospital. Oh don't worry KJ started crying once he saw the blood on his hands and realized we'd be going to the hospital. He didn't go without a fight but after getting him calmed and some medication to sedate him the doctor was able to put 3 stitches inside the gash and 9 outside.

That Monday when Kj returned to school apparently a lot of the girls in his class asked him about his stitches. He thought he was pretty cool after that!

I'm sure this wont be our first trip to the hospital for stitches!

BYU Football

BYU football has begun!!

Kepu is a die hard BYU fan and now that football season is in full swing our Saturdays schedule will now be catered around BYU kickoff time!

Perfect example; I tried to make plans this Saturday to go to the State Fair with some friends between 4-5 pm until Kepu so kindly reminded me that the game started at 5 and therefore our plans had to change.

Don't get me wrong I grew up being a BYU football fan (and still am a fan) and always went to their games! I remember growing up my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins would all sit in our season seat in portal WW right in the middle of the filed goal polls.

Thank goodness I'm an understanding wife and have learned in the last 6 years that it's not worth a headache trying to get him to do/go anywhere during the game.

Pick and choose your battles... this is one I don't want to battle because I know I'll lose!

GO BYU COUGARS!!!

6 Years and MANY MANY more to come!!!

Happy Anniversary to my one and only eternal companion! I can't believe 6 years has come and gone, we have learned and done so much! I love you babe and can't wait to see what the future has in store for us in the many years to come!!!!

Therapy.....

I can't believe how therapeutic it was to write in here yesterday. I seriously felt so much better after posting pictures and writing thoughts that have been in my head. Eventually this blog will just be filled with thoughts and emotions that I'm dealing with and not sure how to handle. Lately I have been feeling anxiety and am always tired. I've gone to the doctor and did blood work... he said everything was fine so prescribed me some anti-anxiety/ depression medication... a part of me doesn't want to take those pills because I know that eventually everything will be fine, but the other part of me is telling me to just take them! I still haven't decided what I am going to do, I still haven't picked up the prescriptions from the pharmacy. I know that whatever it is I am going through the Lord is by my side and will help me make the right decision.


I must thank Kepu for everything he has done for me and my family! :) He has been so supportive throughout this emotional roller coaster I feel like I've been on for sometime and that's the best I could ask for! Nothing in this world make things better than having a loving spouse who loves you for you and supports you without judgement! I know that I couldn't go thought these emotional breakdowns without him. I'm truly blessed to have him apart of my life for now and for all eternity!

LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!
