Heber Camp 2010

Last year was the first year we went to Heber Valley Camp with the Clegg side of the family. It has now become a yearly tradition. We had such a blast this year. Here are some pics.

We had beautiful deer come into our campground. There was a mommy with 3 babies. It was amazing. Got as close as I could without scaring them.

Sitting around the fire:

The grandkids with their Pillow Pets that Gramps and Grams got for them.


I have the best in-laws, EVER! I love spending time with them. Can't wait for next year!

Kassi's 5th Birthday Parties

Kassi had a fun birthday this year. She had her first friend birthday party. It was, to say the least, crazy. But they all had a lot of fun. Here are some pics:





We took Kassi to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. We love that place. It started to pour, but we still had a fun time. Here are some pics of that.




Kassi's birthday is really close to her cousin Trey and her Uncle Jesse's. So we had a joint party for the three of them at the Clegg household.


Kassi also had a party at the Swanson household. This little girl is so spoiled by her grandparents.





I really can't believe my baby is five. She is my life, and I love her more than anything in this world. Happy Birthday Kass! Daddy and I love you!

Gymnastics

I decided to put Kassi in gymnastics at the beginning of the year for two reasons.

1. To help Kassi with her coordination. As I've said previously, Kassi is not very coordinated. She is very tall and klutzy, just like her mom.
2. Gymcats is 30 seconds from my house.

Kassi loved gymnastics at first, but she slowly started to dislike it. They made her jump off high things and do other things that she didn't like. But it has helped her alot. I was leaning towards taking her out cause she threw a fit every time we had to go. And then I lost my job and we didn't have a choice. Needless to say, she is very happy she isn't in there anymore. I took a couple pics to remember this brief, but fun\not so fun time for Kassi.

This is what Jesus wants us to do......

Right now Kassi is playing upstairs with her little friend that is not LDS. Normally I wouldn't say stuff like that, but you need to know that to understand the conversation they are having right now.

Kassi: Jasmine, we need to say a prayer.

Jasmine: What?

Kassi: We need to say a prayer to Heavenly Father so that you won't be bossy anymore.
That's what Jesus wants us to do. To say prayers.

Jasmine: Silence....

Kassi: C'mon Jasmine. Kneel down. We need to say a prayer. The Savior will help you to be nice.

Jasmine: I'm not kneeling down.

Kassi: Fine. I will go to the bathroom and pray since you won't be quiet. Jesus loves little children and he will help you.

Jasmine: Ok. Then go to the bathroom and say your prayer.

Kassi: OK

*****Silence for a moment******

Kassi: Did he help you? Did the Savior help you?

Jasmine: I don't know what you're talking about.

Their conversation is still going on right now. Kassi keeps saying stuff about Heavenly Father and Jesus. I am totally cracking up right now. It's hilarious cause she's talking to her friend like she should know all this stuff. Well at least I am glad to know that my daughter is somewhat listening to us. She's already becoming a little missionary. Something I thought I should put in here to remember.

Everything's Going To Be OK......

Ok, so my post yesterday was so depressing, and I guess that's probably because I was, well, depressed. You know when there is something you REALLY want and you think you will get it, and then time goes on and you don't. You try really hard to be patient and understanding of the person that is supposed to be giving it to you, but after awhile you just feel like throwing up your hands and shouting why. Yesterday was my why day. I truly believe the Lord does not make mistakes, and I have total faith that everything happens for a reason. That's why it isn't hard for me to see women pregnant or new babies, because that is what the Lord is wanting for this person right now. That is part of that person's plan.

Each month I get together with some of my best friends from high school, and each month I look forward to being with my friends. Well yesterday was our night out, and my poor friends had to listen to me bawl the half of the time. But they were so supportive, just like all of you are being. And when I got home, I felt rejuvenated. As I talked with Brad about how I was feeling, I realized that the Lord works in mysterious ways. On the day that I felt like I was at my breaking point, I was reminded of just how lucky I am. I have amazing friends and a husband who loves me unconditionally.

I also want to say to anyone who is reading this that has no children and would die just to have one, I'm sorry. You are probably reading this wondering what the heck I'm complaining about when I have one and you have none. Trust me. This thought goes through my mind all the time. It's what keeps me going everyday. For some reason the Lord gave me Kassidy.(He probably knew that if he didn't, I would have lost my mind by now.)And I'm so grateful for it.

Yesterday was a bad day. Probably one of my worst. But as Brad and I talked about the possibilities of our future, instead of feeling discouraged, I felt rejuvenated.

No matter what the future holds, everything is going to be ok. I can't promise there won't ever be anymore of those sad posts, but I feel hope again. We are probably going to have to take some very expensive chances on getting pregnant, but I feel like it's going to work for us. Hopefully, by the end of next year we'll have a new addition to our family. :) Thanks again for all your love and encouragement. It means the world to me.
