Confessions of a Sugarholic

I started a new blog called Confessions of a Sugarholic.  Hope you like it! http://www.confessions-of-a-sugarholic.blogspot.com

Brace Yourselves, this is a long one!

My baby Kurtis is now 8 years old!!! I can't believe it!  He has become such a handsome young man.  He has a clear sense of right and wrong and he is so kind and sensitive  others around him.  He loves me when I yell, he always forgives and makes me want to be better!  I love him so much and am so proud of the young man he is becoming!  He had a great party.  We had it at the Aquaplex!  The kids got all hopped up on cake and ice cream and then went swimming and rock climbing!  They had so much fun!  Kurtis said it was his best birthday ever!  I really wanted it to be!

 Opening presents!  Got a new scooter from Grammie!  Thank you he LOVED it!  Below is Kurtis with Millie and Ben about to go rock climbing!

Then came January 9th, 2010.  The day my Kurtis chose to be baptized!  It was one of the greatest days of my life!  I cried so many times throughout that day!  I was crying because I was SO PROUD of Kurtis, I was crying because I was remembering my baptism day.  I was crying because I was wishing my dad could have been there(physically).  I felt his presence with me that day!  Jesse, Rachel and the boys came up along with Brent, Mom and Heidi for Kurtis' baptism.  I was so happy to have them there!  Jake's parents came down from Hurricane for the day, I love them and truly do have the BEST in-laws.  My best friend Brieanne Martin was there with her husband and children and she cried as much as me!  I love that woman!  My good friend and mentor Debbie Hill was there too!  She is not of our faith, but she is a spiritual woman and it meant a lot to me that she would come.  The really cool thing about Kurtis baptism is that he got to share his baptism with his 2 best friends, Micah and Weston Cureton!  It was a wonderful day for all!

Father and Son

Proud Mom and Dad!

The Sunday after the baptism Rachel, Jesse and the boys stayed at our house for the night.  Jake and I introduced them to Country Rock Band.  We had so much fun!  Gunpowder and Lead baby!

Pretty much my most favorite picture EVER!!!  Rock out Rach!

This one is called Purpulicious.  It is made of lavander colored freshwater pearls, amythest chips and silver beads.

This one is called Coral Reef and is made of salmon colored freshwater pears, white freshwater pearls, silver beads and a floral pendant.

This one is called Turquoise Heart.  It is made of imitation turquoise heart pendant, imitation turquoise beads and chips, black glass beads, clear glass beads, silver tone links, and suede cord.

I feel pretty!

Sean is good friends with a little girl named Megan.  Megan is the daughter of one of my best friends, Brieanne, and there are only girls, with the exception of Ryan(Brieanne's husband), in their family.  So whenever Sean goes over to their house there are no boy toys to play with.  So here is what he and Megan played today!  It was so hilarious!

Ummm.  Yes, I'm wearing a dress!  So WHAT?!

I'm a pretty princess!
