Missing Granny!

Missing Granny..
I knew I would miss Granny a lot when she died. And although I was happy she is in a better place, with no health problems, and with her hubbies.. I miss her SO much! She is so much of why I am who I am. I love her with all my heart! She was such an amazing and accomplished woman, never getting too sick for a party! She was so beautiful and always made me laugh. I have so many memories of her.. and it makes me sad that my kids or husband will never know her while here on earth. She is my inspiration. I love you Granny!!!

Tater Tot

I miss Tate a lot! Im so proud of him for his mission, he is so awesome and a great brother, but im ready to be able to talk to him all the time again!! I cant wait for July so we can go pick him up :D

FUN DAY!

Sorry no pictures, but today was way fun! Mason and Powell spent the night last night, and when i woke up this morning i got to go babysitting.. which was a blast! Then i went to tacobell and then the park with most of the nieces and nephews which was fun to play with them. After me mason parker and my mom went to walmart which i love, i dont know why but i just really like that store. And then we (mason me and parker) painted( they picked out the letter of their last name to paint for thier moms) and colored some 50 cent visors we got from wallieworld too! anyways just lots of playing at our house.. aka NO CLEANING which was AWESOME!!!! although i have to do it now... but thats okay. So then after playing with them all afternoon we went to our phelps family valentines party and i got to see the hallsteds who are my cousins that i never get to see because they live in utah, and come to find out amanda who is about a year and a half older then me is ENGAGGED!!!

I was looking through my old school notbebooks the other day reading all the things i wrote, i giggled because at the top of every page we had to write "I feel (fill in the blank) today"

well..... today I feel about a thousand different things, this picture pretty much sums it up into my stressed out, high school life. and I really wish that screaming really loud made everything feel better

State of the Union Address

Yay for feeling good again! and yay for rain :D :D :D :D

Yesterday was Obamas State Of the Union Address. which actually amused me quite a lot. Im not going to lie obama is a very good speaker, and had a lot of good promises and ideas.. well some good ones. But in my opinion i think he compared us to other countries too much (hello there is a reason we are not socialist- Communist country.. oh wait he is trying to make us one, no wonder he did that. He bragged about himself too much considering how little he has done in the past year. He blamed bush a ton and it was annoying- its not my fault.. oh please yes it is because you are the president and whether or not you did it you get the wonderful act of taking the blame, so stop crying and telling people it wasnt your fault.. just fix it. good talking about Haiti, good talking about education. but the thing that annoys me is that if he has only kept 4ish of his promises in the last year then why doesnt he work on keeping the other ones he didnt finish instead of making a lot of new ones. anywho- this is just my opinion of it no one elses, and im just a little senior so who knows i could be totally wrong but as you can tell some laughing went on.. some along with him.................. some at him. :D and that made me very happy.

caution.. weak stomachs do not read :)

Saturday I went to go watch Mesa Highs club team at their tournament. I started to feel, not so good around 4. So i hurried to the bathroom trying not to pass out or throw up, i couldn't tell which one i felt more like. After deciding that i had no other choice then to get home i hurried to my car and went home pretty much as fast as i could staying in the speed limit. I got home, stopped by the bush for a minute cause that throw up feeling came back, and after 30 seconds and i didn't throw up i ran inside to change into my jammies and climb into bed. I called my mom to bring me a bowl for when i really would throw up and what do you know. within about 5 minutes i was in front of the toilet letting what i had just eaten for lunch come right back up.. let me tell ya my corn dog and ocean water tasted a lot better going down. So for the next few hours i spent a lot of time in front of my toilet.. i never knew i had so much inside of me. I managed to feel a little better and even slept for about an hour and a half. When i woke up i was feeling good and well i guess my body wasn't because it all started up again. Okay; so that went on from about 4 till 11 (minus the little sleep i got in between) I then got so sick of going back and forth from my room to the bath room and i had no strength left that i decided to just sleep next to the toilet. Even with the 2 comforters between me and the bathroom floor i was not comfortable and could not sleep.. i got maybe 30 minutes from 11 until 2ish and then surprise surprise a little friend wanted to sleep with me.. except he wanted the whole bed to himself i guess so he stung me.. (angry face) well i jumped up right away and turned on the lite, finding the scorpion i put a cup over him so he couldn't escape. I started feeling really nautious and sick again, i guess from getting up so quickly, but i had to go get my mom so she could kill it while i.. well you know.. so anyways that was the last time i threw up which was really great. the next day followed by an almost worse ache kinda flu. My whole body hurt, my throat especially. My head pounded and i hardly had strength to sit up when i had to take medicine. if i wasn't freezing and shaking then i was sweating more then when i work out.. nothing ever in between. I was able to eat a little bit Sunday though so that was good.. so anyways Monday came around and i couldn't sleep again, i constantly was waking up and always thirsty. I took my temperature about 6 ( when I'm sick i get obsessed with taking my temp) and my temp was 102.2 i thought oh great, now i get a temperature too. So i kept taking it about every 15 minutes, i know I'm weird. And it kept raising, the highest it got was 102.5 though.. anyways i drank a lot of NyQuil about 8 and slept until about 1130 which was nice. my temp left and i actually felt not too bad. still very light headed and my throat feeling like a golf ball on fire was in it but that was like heaven compared to the past 2 days. I really wanted to go to school today (Tuesday) but my mom wouldn't let me. And although i really wanted to i think I'm glad i didn't.. i don't know how long i would have lasted because i still feel weak and what not.. but anyways i feel a ton better today and i am going to school tomorrow!!!.. i hope..

sorry if you didn't want to read that, its more for my remembrance for the next time i think ' i wish i was sick so i didn't have to go to school' i don't think i'll ever wish that again

My Awesome Day!

So my day started out with this cute girl. and the one below :) when I went to go pick them up they were so excited, and I knew we would have fun! Abby was so funny she kept telling me all day 'heidi i just love you' and Hallie cracked me up because she is such a mom to her little sister. She would always say things to Abby of what she could or couldnt do and I love that she calls her sissy its so cute! Once we got back to my house first thing we did was play dress up!!
Abby was being so funny the whole time!

hallie took this picture! she did good!

They kept wanting to take SiLlY FAcE pictures.. so we did :D
Hal has some pretty funny facesshe wouldnt smile :)

but she sure was cute !

:D

Abby thought for sure she was a fairy!

THEN WE MADE COOKIES :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

They put all the ingridents in (i measured dont worry!) and were so proud!

next we rolled them into balls.. they were very into it

and WALLAAAA!!! stuck some chocolate in the middle and they were so yummy!

--best part of making cookies, Hallie kept saying to Abby ' put your little bum down on the stool' and abby would say 'okay sissy.' probably happened like 9 times. MADE MY DAY!!

Then we made lunch and walked to Kylies in the stroller to pick up Powell and Mia on our way to the PARK!

They wanted to walk from Kylies to the park though! they were so cute in their matching sweaters!

first we ate and fed the ducks.. more like threw bread in the water and yelled at the ducks to come eat it, even though they never did.

Then we played on the playground!

After a FUN day I took the girls home so Abby could nap and I could go to volleyball. Oh and I forgot we also made Instruments out of cups and bowls and beans :D but I never took any pictures of that :( anyways. it was an AwEsoMe day!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for lettin me take your girls Amy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
