So it's been quite awhile since I've blogged!! Summer is coming closer to an end! :( Sad day! But I was able to golf alot more this year then I did last! Me and Jarod have actually played well together! McKinley has grown a ton! Weezer is still a pain in the butt, but he's a damn good dog! Jarod has started school!

McKinley has started talking a bunch, I'm starting to actually understand what she is saying! She climbs on everything, gets into everything, and I'm pretty sure I have to clean up her toys 100 times a day! Her hair is getting long too!!! She loves water! I've taken her to the splash park a couple times and we got her a swimming pool for grandma's house! I'm thinking we will take her to the zoo this weekend! Haven't made it there yet. I'm sure she will love it! Lately her appetite hasn't been that great. She has been waking up in the middle of the night too. :( I'm thinking maybe this is normal, hopefully it's just the rest of her teeth comin in!

So Laura and Trent are getting married this weekend, and I'm unable to attend :( I'm gonna miss seeing a lot of my friends!! Atleast I made it to her bachelorette party! I had sooo much fun with those girls! I miss them like crazy! To Laura, I love you lady and I'm soo happy for you!!!

Well I guess I'll get off of here, just thought I'd write somethin in here since it's been almost a year!! lol!!!

Today....

As I sit here, I can't decide if I should be mad anymore. We have had 5 suicides in this month. 5!!! I guess there is just too much sadness floating around this earth. I can't say that I don't know how they felt. I too have been down that long lonely road. I just never had the guts to follow through with it. It's almost as if you feel empty inside, as if, not a soul in the world cares for you. Nothing can fix your broken heart. I have felt so much sadness/anger today. Good people are gone, and not just this month, we've lost alot of GOOD PEOPLE. And at such young ages. This life is tough, I struggle everyday to get by. But I just look once at that beautiful little girl of mine and remember why I'm here... I've got sooo much to live for! I know these people are in a better place now. But it just breaks my heart that they needed to go so soon. It wasn't time!

Awhile back I decided to get a tattoo along my rib cage, it's a quote that I found and fell in love with... This was shortly after I had been feeling down and didn't think I needed to be here anymore. It goes "Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing" I had overcome the sadness I was feeling. I was able to wake up and be glad that I was here on earth! It was as if I was given another chance. Something just hit me... I thought to myself, Ya know what I AM LOVED. AND I DO BELONG HERE. Thank god I made it through those hard times, I would of never had McKinley... She is my guardian angel. I know now that if everything falls to shit, I will always have her.. She keeps me alive! And I thank god she came to save me!

TEETH

So for the last week McKinley has been so miserable! She's had the snot nose, she has been fussy. Hasn't eaten like she normally does. Hasn't slept that great!! It's been a real patience test. Barely passed it! LOL I just feel soo bad for her. She is doing ok today. But she still isn't her normal self! But hey we got 4 teeth in! 2 on top and 2 on bottom. She is started crawling on Friday the 13th!! Luckily we had no major accidents... LOL She is crusin everywhere! Trying to pull herself up on things, she'll be walking in no time!!! Crazy to think that my baby is 8 months old already! Here is a pretty cute picture from Dre's wedding! I love my baby girl!

Busy Busy...

So this last weekend we went up camping with our friends. My mom took McKinley Friday night and Jarod's mom took her Saturday night... It was a nice little break, although I missed her the entire time! We went up to Moody, it's the perfect place for camping because your not to far from town, but once you get up there, you feel miles and miles away surrounded by trees. And of course the dang cows. Had one moo right behind my tent early in the morning Saturday! Scared the crap out of me!






Anyways, when we got up there Tammy cooked us an amazing chicken and potatoes dinner! It was yummy! Saturday was tin foil dinners! They were amazing too :) I just love camp fire food!!! There were quite a few of us up camping, it was a good turn out!!! Very mellow! We went on a booze cruise on a few dirt roads, haven't done that in awhile! Talked around the fire for hours... 4-wheeler rides, fishing, it was just an all around good time~

Rally For The Cure

Ok On Tuesday August 10, 2010 we had the Rally For The Cure scramble at the Rigby Golfcourse! It was a huge success! Thanks to my mom and sister... I helped but they did alot! There was a dunk booth, putting contest, and a chipping contest. We also held a huge raffle with tons of awesome prizes. I of course didn't win a damn thing, but it was for a great cause! We made shirts for the tourney! They were super cute!! I guess my mom is going to do it next year and we are going all out!! My Great Grandma Larimer had to have a mastectomy a long time ago, when the surgery to do that sort of thing wasn't as advanced. She never did get an implant and Gramps still loved her no matter what!! He was an amazing man! Anyways, we raised alot of money for the Cure and I would like everyone to know that I did my part for my Grandma!!! Love you!

This summer...

So this last weekend my friend Kaye was married! She looked absolutely beautiful! Her dress was amazing! Everyone seems to be getting married this summer... I wonder when we will actually have our reception. I would like to have one! And I would like to have it this summer. But seriously there is no open spots! I still have a couple more weddings I'm supposed to attend this summer!! I still want to float the river, I want to get our family pictures done.... I need my hair done that's for sure!! Holy Hell what a summer... Going camping this weekend! I hope it doesn't rain! I'm really excited about it!!! Definitely planning a trip to Boise to see Mallorie!!! Oh and the Warrant Concert is this month!! I'm stoked about it!!!

Just today....

So my daughter is almost 8 months old... Don't ya think I should be looking about the same as I did before the pregnancy!?! I cannot for the life of me get rid of the pooch. I haven't really worked out or anything, I'm hoping maybe it will just rid itself. HAHA Ya I wish! But seriously is it bad if I absolutely hate getting dressed every morning! Nothing fits right. I don't feel sexy anymore. I just feel blah. I really don't even feel pretty enough for Jarod most days. I hope I get over this. I'm sure I'm not the only Mom who feels this way.
I'm gonna get my hair done this weekend. I don't really have the money for it, but I don't give a damn, I need a fresh look. I always feel a little better after a haircut and color!!! Jarod is getting his haircut Friday, Thank god! It's getting a bit out of control! I like it long, but I'm sick of finding it everywhere!

Wow, I'm sooo bored today! This working part-time crap sure sucks! I mean I'm happy to spend all day with my daughter, but I get bored pretty easy! She is getting so close to crawling! She scoots, but she scoots backwards. I can't even lay her down anymore without her ending up on the other side of the room!haha My house isn't even baby proofed yet! I need a gate! I wonder if they have rubber corners for our coffee table? It's so crazy to me how big she is getting! She shows me something new about every other day! And she is soo smart! She catches on to things so fast!!! The only problem I'm having now is she still sleeps in her play-yard next to my bed, I can't sleep well when she isn't next to me, plus she rolls all over now, so she is always trying to sleep on her tummy when I put her in the crib! That scares the hell out of me! So I give in every night and let her sleep next to us! I know it's bad, but when I'm ready she can sleep wherever the hell she wants to! :)

Well she is up from her oh so short nap, by the way they are getting shorter and less frequent as she grows! Better go get her!
