Pumpkin Patch
We met up with a couple of my friends this weekend at Pirddy's Farm Pumpkin Patch for the first time and we all had so much fun. As you can tell by the way we're dressed it was freezing outside and super muddy(YUCK)! It's suppose to be fall but it feels more like winter to me :(

"The New NIck"
Ok so I went on a date with "the new Nick" last Saturday and I am so glad I did. He is the sweetest guy I have ever met and he was born and raised here so he has the cutest accent.He picked me up at Jewly's house and when he opened the car door he had the most beautiful flowers sitting on the seat for me. We went to Fire Birds for dinner then he took me to Put Put to play miniature golf and ride go karts. We were getting along so good and having so much fun that we decided to go back to his place to talk and hang out for a little bit,well that little bit ended up lasting until well around mid night..oops time flew by so he took me back to pick up my kids and yes he gave me a good night kiss :) Thanks Jewly I owe u big time!
The next morning Oakley came into my room and said "mom did you have fun with the new Nick " So we now refer to him as that haha :) I told him what she said and he said he is the new and improved Nick and I would have to agree 100% We have hung out alot over the past few days and I'm excited to see where it goes :) Maybe something will finally go right in my life :)
Ill post pictures as soon as I take some

Movin on
OK so I haven't been on here for awhile and need to fill some people in on whats going on in my life. Nick and I are no longer dating he said he didn't think he could handle the stress of 4 kids mentally or financially. I was a little hurt at first but soon realized that I deserve better then that. I was thinking about packing up and heading back to UT but i cant seem to get out of my lease early so I'm gonna have to stick it out until Jan. I now have a job working at Kinder Care,I'm a lead teacher in the infants room so I work with children age 6 months to 12 months and I absolutely love it.Being a single mom is hard eough without having a job so now its been even harder but the kids and I are all getting in the routine and things seem to be going a lillte better each day.
Carter is still having a hard time he cries form the time we wake up until the time the teacher pulls him off of me,its so hard for me to just walk away but I know that he will calm down after a few min.
Oakley is doing great :) Yay she loves her new teacher and has made so many new friends this year between school,church and daycare.
Me on the other hand well I'm ready to move on and start dating again. Mr. right has to be out there somewhere so I best start looking :) I'm going on a date tonight with a guy who's name happens to be Nick but he seems super nice so its worth a shot right? My friend Jewly is playing matchmaker and apparently threes a single guy in our ward and she has our lives all planned out for us and him and I have never even met hahah I love u girl,so if things end up working out then I may stay in Tn forever.....Ill keep y'all posted

Yogi Bear Camp out
Nick and the girls invited me to go to the Yogi Bear campground in Missouri for a few days we had so much fun together :) The first day we got there we just got camp set up and floated down the river on our tubes then went to the pool,made crafts,then tin foil dinners,roasted a ton of marshmellos,attempted to read scary stories but there were too many bugs so we ended up watching anaconda in the tent. We really ruff it dont we?? The next morning we woke up and went on a 5 hr float down the current river it was so fun :) right when we put in we saw a big water snake and not having much controle on a tube Izzy went right for it thank goodness it dont bother her.For dinner that night Nick made red beans and rice in the dutchoven it was so yummy followed by peach cobler.YUMMY!! The nights were long and extremly hot but we all had so much fun :) The only thing missing was my kids :(

Summer Time!!
After graduation we had a couple days to hang out before school was oficcially out.We spent those days swimming and having BBQ's with Nick and his family :)On the last day of school the kids and I got on a airplane and headed to Utah to visit family.The trip started out good but quickly changed, we had a lay over in Atlanta and shortly after arriving I was experiencing horrible pains in my kidneys.I managed to find someone that had some Ib and that helped out long enough for me to board the plane and make it to Vegas.I thought the pain would go away but it seemed to get worse so the next day I went to a dr. and found out I had a horrible kidney infection :( it was not fun but I still managed to have some fun before I left.We had a suprise 16th birthday for Jordan and hung out like old times having BBQ's at my moms and going to some of our favorite parks and Jumping Jacks.
Most of you know that the trip to St.George was to take my kids there and leave them for the summer so I could come home and find a job.Its been so hard and lonely here without them.I miss them so much but there having a blast in Ut with family :)and hopefully I will be able to find a job soon.

Is 26 considered young or old?
I had the best birthday ever thanks to Nick and his family!
I woke up the morning of my birthday to a horrible head cold :( and had to take Oak to her softball game feeling all stuffy but it turned out to be such a fun day. Susan took me and the kids out for lunch and then we headed back to the softball fields to watch Izzy play her game,well when we got back to the fields Susan told me to go home and take a nap and she would watch the kids I felt bad because she was also going to be watching the kids that night so Nick and I could go out, but she insisted So thats exactly what I did and it felt so good! Thanks Susan! :)That night Nick and I went out for Sushi at our favorite restraunt Seiksu and then to a movie. Nick brought me home and told me that the kids were fine just staying at his house so I got to sleep in and then Sunday Nick and his family had dinner and cake for me.The ribs were so freaking GOOD and the danish dessert was divine :) The Penmans are so good to me and I love them like crazy!!

Spring Break
Jordan decided to come visit us for spring break well her flights didn't exactly go so smooth :( she ended up having to stay the night in Atlanta but made it to Memphis at 7:30 a.m the next morning but while she was here we had so much fun just doing everything and anything we could possibly think of doing :) we went bowling,roller skating,to the children's museum,the zoo and shopping.
It was really nice having Jordan here for a week we always have so much fun together :) Jordan and I have become so close since my divorce.She was my traveling babysitter all summer,which I'm so thankful for because I got to do allot of fun things thanks to her.:)
I wish I could say the flight home went great but once again she got stuck in Atlanta but thank goodness my friend Shane got her on a flight to Vegas so she made it home all in the same day ha ha poor Jordan :( We love you and miss you already I hope you come back soon!!

Softball
Oakley and Chloe had their first softball practice today and they both did so good!!It's going to be so fun watching the girls play.Izzy plays too but of course she's on another team so i'll have to post pictures of her when I go to one of her games.Oakley is so excited to be playing she loves it and she's really good at hitting,catching is another story lol but with a little bit of practice she'll have it down in no time.

Carter's Picture

On Saturday morning Oakley woke me up and said Carter colored on the wall,so I'm thinking a few scribble ummmm NO it looks like a HUGE alien or Fraggle that wont come off. I have scrubbed it so much that the paint is fading so I'm gonna have to get some touch up paint.The joys of children!!
