On Monday Haley was at her cute friend Maddie Johnson's house. They decided to climb on the top of Maddie's camp trailer. Well on the way down Haley fell off of the ladder. She came limping home and we were going to get manicures all of us including Ryker. I know. I know. He is a boy. But all boys need nice hands. Anyway.....we continue to get all the stuff done.
That evening she was in a lot of pain. So I take her to the ER. And she can hardly walk. We get in there and they look at it and take the X-Ray. And the Dr. comes back and says that its not broke. But it is extremely sprained. So bad that after the splint comes off she has to have physical thearapy. So she is on crutches for a week and if the pain is not better she will need to get another X-Ray to see if she fractured the growth plate. So we will see.
Maybe next time she will not climb on top of a camp trailer.
Who am I kidding she is a kid. And will continue to do stupid things.
ITS LIFE!!!!

Long Time No Blog
It has been so long since I have blogged. And a lot has happened. One of the most important things is our move back to Missouri.
Wyndam is working for the same company. But a much better opportunity for growth in company is he was to go back to the headquarters. Which are in Missouri.
I am not really sure how I feel about the move. I love Utah. Its going to be hard. But all things that are worth anything are never easy. So I will adjust and learn to love it there again.
Morgan on the other hand has ALWAYS wanted to go back. She was in 2nd grade when we moved out here. Now that we are going back she does not want to go. I have to say I would hate to move when I hit middle school also. But she will be fine. She is a sweet girl and easily makes friends. Not that she likes to make friends but she will and be happy.
The other kids are ready to go. They love a new adventure. And are so willing to do what ever. They will all adjust just fine.
Wyndam is already out there. For 8 weeks now. He comes home every 3-4 weeks for 3 days and is back to Missouri again. Its not the most ideal situation but we do what we have to do.
I am a single mom of 6 for the time being. We will all move once we sell the house. And with this market who knows how long that will be. I will have to say I guess we are where we are suppose to be for now.

Feeling Old
Well yes the time has come once again. I turned 31 yesterday. And I actually enjoyed it. I was taken to the ski resort Solitude. Where I did absolutely NOTHING. And it was amazing. We went up Friday night and came home Sunday afternoon. We literally did nothing. We went to the Red Box on our way up there. Rented 4 movies and got some soda and snacks. It was awesome.
Wyndam did a good job for my birthday this year. The Solitude weekend was for Mothers Day but we could only get the cabin for this weekend. Fine with me!! Then on Saturday he took me to the bookstore and bought me 4 books. I got a Time Out For Women ticket to go to St. George. Then he got me Secondhand Serenade tickets. So all in all turning 31 was just not so bad.

In Loving Memory
Well it has been more than a month since I last did a post. So much has seemed to have happen. Although not really. Just some stressful moments. The biggest and most profound was the loss of our dear sweet Grandma Durm. Wyndam's mothers mom. What a loss for our family. It has been a tough one. She passed away June 23, 2009 at 10:40 p.m. at Liberty Hospital in Missouri.
I had some awesome experiences though. I had a overwhelming feeling of what the Savior went through for us. The pain He felt in our behalf. I physically hurt to see my sweet Morgan fall apart at the death of not only a Great Grandma but of her best friend. Morgan had saved her money to fly out to see Grandma and Grandpa. She was to leave July 7th and stay for a month. And Grandma was to eager to return to Heavenly Father. So to watch Morgan was a miserable feeling to go through. I can not imagine what it felt for our Savior.
My testimony has been so strengthened. I am grateful for that. We are such a blessed people. To know the plan of salvation. To know where we came from, who we are, and where we are going. I am so blessed.
Grandpa Durm is struggling a bit. He misses her so much. That was the love of his life. 56 years. That is a serious accomplishment. They were not apart for 1 day in the last 7 years. But I am grateful that it does not stop at 56 years. We are Eternal Families. What more could we ask for?
I am thankful for my sweet husband and the love he has for me. I can only hope that we will have a relationship like Grandma and Grandpa Durm. They are a huge example to me.
Goodbye Grandma. I love you. And am excited to see you again.

Kids Are Funny
On Saturday we went to Hanna Utah. It is about 2 hours away. That is where our Youth Conference will be held. So Wyndam and I went because we are the cooks for the youth. We are so excited. It will such a great experience. And the drive there is so beautiful. It reminded me of when we drive to Tahoe California. Just beautiful.
Anyway....It was on our way home and we are driving through one of the canyons. And we tell the kids to look for animals. We saw deer, Haley saw a moose. Things like that. So we are on our way down the canyon. And we see a HUGE deer and everyone gets excited. So that gets the juices flowing for all the kids to look for animals. So they are looking, and all of a sudden you hear Whitney say "Is that a penguin?" I laughed so hard. That was so darn funny. What she really saw was a Magpie. They are black and white and can be pretty big. But oh my gosh that was funny. I loved it. So needless to say we had a great time.

Class of 2015
Well yesterday the class of 2015 graduated from the 6th grade. They did such a nice job on the ceremony. I did not expect to get so emotional. They played Pomp and Circumstance and had some of the kids speak. It really was like a graduation.
I sat and thought in 6 very short years this will be the real thing. Time flies. And it broke my heart to realize every year the apron strings get looser or cut until one day all the strings are gone and they are on their own. I hope as a parent I will teach her the things she needs to know to achieve the highest of her potential. I want her to realize that the stars are never out of reach. I also want her to know that when failure comes her way it will only make her stronger and to try harder. All of this is going through my mind as I watched this little graduation.
I only have 6 years for her to learn these things. I only have 6 years to be a mom that she comes home to every night. I only have 6 years to build her testimony strong enough that she will stand on her own. I only have 6 years until she becomes an adult. I only have 6 years till I say good bye to her before she leaves for college. I ONLY HAVE 6 YEARS.
And I am scared.
Congratulations to the class of 2015.

Mothers Day Pondering
My 13th Mothers Day. I have to say it was good. I was in Relief Society yesterday and was truly pondering my kids. There was a quote on the program and all of you know what a sucker I am for quotes. Anyway it read......
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." Washington Irving
I think that is so true. I have had a incident with a friend of mine and one of my girls is very uncomfortable around her. This friend and I were getting to be fairly close. Well I had to pull WAY back from this relationship because my daughters feelings were so much more important to me than the friend. So even though the quote is talking about the child's friends is also go with the parents friends. And it was so important to me to show her that her and her feelings meant so much more to me. That I treasure her and listen to her and love her. And my relationship with her and in fact my entire family have become stronger than ever. So the choice was a great choice and I don't regret it.
I love my kids more than life itself. They keep me going and want to be better. They make me look at my life and want to refine it. To be a better person. They are the example to me. And I would do ANYTHING for them. And that made me think that this was one of the best Mothers Day I have ever had. Because of the reconfirmation I had of my kids and my husband. I am so blessed.
The presents are never a bad thing either. I got a weekend away with Wyndam in Solitude!!!!!!
