Moms night out

I had a Moms night out tonight. I had dinner with 3 other moms at Rumbi Island Grill and I had a great time. It was a lot of fun. The food was every good and the conversation was even better. Tia brought her week old baby and he is a doll. I got to hold him and feed him a bottle. I forget how small they are. I said Levi was never this small but Levi weighted less than this baby. They are so cute when they are little.
It was so refreshing to be out with the women. I drove Jeremys car and turned up the music real loud and now I feel refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Babies

I got my new phone today and not a moment to soon. The old one broke completely last night.
I drove Grandma Madsen to her sisters this afternoon. Its a long long drive. Its about an hour and 15 one way. So that made for a very long afternoon.
As many of you know Jeremy and I are trying to have another child and its not going as I planned. When we decided to get pregnant the first time 6 weeks later I found out that I was pregnant. So I had no idea that I would have trouble a second time. 8 months ago we stopped birth control and nothing has happen. I can not believe its been 8 months. The frustrating part is in those 8 months I have only had 3 or 4 periods. I have not had a period in 2 in a half months but the tests keep coming up negative. Jeremy thinks I need to go see a doctor to find out why I am not having my period. I just want to be pregnant. I wanted my kids to be close in age. I told Jer that if I am not pregnant by the time Levi is 3 than I am giving up and going back on birth control. Everyone around me is getting pregnant so you would think with all those vibes that it would be my turn. I know it will happen when its suppose to its just hard to wait some times. I think I need to call the doctor but its about a 3 month wait to get an appointment with any obgyn out here and I dont want to go back to the one I saw before because I did not like him but I might have to if I want to figure this all out. I dont know what to do.

Houses

Well long story short Jers parents did not like the idea of us living in a mobile home so they got us in touch with a mortgage broker and we meet with him tonight and in two weeks or sooner we should know if we qualify for a house. Hes is 99% sure we can get a loan but hes trying to get us a little bit of a bigger loan. I cant wait to start looking at houses. I found one I really like with a quarter of an acre and 3 beds and 2 baths. I have always wanted a big yard for my kids because thats what I grew up with. I need my space. So cross your fingers for us.

Broken Phone

As some of you know my cell phone has broke on me. When people call or when I call people they cant hear me. I have to yell and they still cant hear me. So I went to Verizon today and they are shipping me a new phone which will take like 3 days. So in the mean time I am texting everyone and no answering my phone. When I get the new phone it will not have any pictures on it so before I send me old one back I emailed myself all the pictures I had on the phone so I wont lose them. So I thought you might want to see some of them.

Houses

This weekend was a very good weekend. Friday Jer got off at lunch and we went to this town called Magna which is right next to were Jer work and we looked at this mobile home park that Jeremys buddy at work recommended. We went in there and talked to the lady and long story short we are in the process of buying a brand new 2008 never been lived in 3 bedroom 2 bath 1100 square foot home. I am so excited. We got approved to live there which included passing a back ground check and credit check. Now we are getting all the paper work in order to get approved for the loan. The house will be moved there the beginning of August and we can move into it in October at the latest as long as we get the loan approved. We are praying that we get approved for the loan. So please pray for us. This is was we really want. We want to be are on own. We want are own place. I am tired of living with family in the basement. They have been great to us and I love my house but it changes the whole dynamics of our family when we have to live with parents and his is our oppertuinty to have a place of our own. This is a huge step and if any of you know where Jeremy has been this is a long way from where we have been and we are both so excited for this. We are already making plans. We toured the town today and I love it. Its about 2 miles from Jeremy work which is a huge pro. Its brand new and I will have my own bathroom, I hate moving bath toys every time I want to take a shower.
We told Jeremys parents because they had to fill out a renters form for us and they were not every supportive of it at all. They dont like the idea of us living in a mobile home and Jeremy spend hours being lectured and defending himself. Its sad when parents dont support us. I always get the feeling that they dont want us living here but than when we find a place of our own they are not supportive because its not what they want. They dont have to live in it why do they care. I guess we will see what happens.
We have been praying about it and Jeremy and I both feel this is a good idea and if it is meant to be than it will happen. Doors are already starting to open for us so we just hope they continue to open.
I would really love to live on our own again.

Hot

I had a pretty good day. Levi and I went swimming with some friends and had a great time. Levis new thing is to stand on the stairs and jump to me. He will jump off the stairs and than swim under the water to me and than I will lift him out of the water. He cant swim well enough to keep his head out of the water but he can swim under the water. He would have so much fun under the water. His eyes would be wide open and he would kick and than grab my arm and I would lift him up and put him back on the stair and he would do it again. Every time before he jumped he would yell this word three time. I am not sure what he was yelling but he said the same thing every time. It was sooo cute. I love him so much. I am so glad that he loves the water. I really need to get him into swim classes.

3 Years

3 years ago Jeremy and I were married. If I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing. I love him. We went out to dinner and left Levi with the in laws. We both said good bye to Levi and then Grandpa distracted him with something in the garage and we left with no tears. They said that he did not even notice that we were gone till about 15 minutes after we left and than he stared looking for us. He did not cry once though. Hes getting so grown up.
We went to Joes Crab Shack and had a bucket of Crab and shrimp that was soooooo good. I am still full.
On another note my moms group is falling apart and now I have just pissed the new organizer off and I don't know what to do. I don't like to hurt peoples feeling but I felt the need to state my opinion and I thought I was nice about it but I think she got her feeling hurt. Part of me feels like I should apologize and the other part of me feels like I should never have to apologize for the way I feel. I dont know what to do. I love the group so much and its really helped me thru and I don't want to end up back in my shell and not have friends so I hope that the organizer does not kick me out. I dont think that she will because what I said was not that bad at all. All I said was that we should let the old organizer back in because she has worked so hard with the group to make it what it is and she does not want us coming in and taking it over and running with it. I said something along though lines and now the new Organizer (her name is Laura) has her feeling hurt. But I got to talk to the old Organizer (Marylynn) today and she just seems so sad that the group is not going where she wanted it to. Just because Marylynn is having a hard time in her life right now does not mean that she needs someone to take over everything she has worked for. I am sure that Laura will be a great Organizer but she wants to run the group like a bussines and thats not what we are about. We are about friends and having a good time.
I guess I will just wait and see what happens and if she kicks me out of the group than I will cry.

Changes

So as many of you know I am part of a moms group called Rocky Mountain Mammas. Its a group on the meetup website.
I joined the group almost a year ago and loved it. I meet so many wonderful people and got out of my shell and went a bunch of different places. Now the group has changed organizers and a lot of us are having a hard time with it. I have made some close friends in the group and we are all concerned about the new leaders leadership skills. She has not been a member of the group for more than 2 months and now she wants to take the whole thing over. I hate to see this group take a turn for the worst. Some of the older members have emailed the new leader and told her that they would like to take over the group and she will not respond to them. So we will see what happens. I was talking to one of my friends and she is thinking about starting her own group. I think that sounds like a good idea and I will support her all the way.

On another note Levi has started to call everyone Mommy. Its so cute. He walks up to Grandpa and says "Mommy" and he will keep saying it till Grandpa acknowledges him. He calls Jer Mommy to. Its his favorite word and he will say it all day long

Happy Birthday MOM

This weekend has been a lot of fun. I will miss Jer when he goes back to work tomorrow.
Its my moms birthday today. I am sad that I can not be there with her to celebrate. We called her and all sung her happy birthday. She told me yesterday that her and my dad are going to move to my dads family homestead when they retire. The homestead is in New Hampshire. That is far away. It wont be just and hour plane ride to see them. I did tell her that I will send the grandchildren out there for a week in the summer just like my parents did to me and my sisters. The 3 of us went out there a few times to spend a week with Grandma. The land is beautiful out there and its been in the family forever and my dad does not want to see it go to anyone outside the family when Grandma dies so it will be a wonderful place for them to retire to. Its in a little town called Bradford that is so small.
Levi has found that he loves corn on the cob. No one can say that he is not Jer sons because Corn on the cob is one of Jers favorites too.

Happy Birthday America

We had a great 4th. We went and saw the West Jordan parade and Sammy came with us. Levi and Sammy did so well. Levi really got into it this year and was yelling and clapping along with everyone and even got some candy that the floats were throwing.
We than lit some fireworks when the sun went down and he was not sure what to think of the fire works. He was pretty scared of them. I still dont have my camera so the pictures I took were with Jer phone and his camera phone only works half the time.
