Summer!

Pictures, lots sorry

Updates

Sorry I haven't wrote for some time now. I have been going through a lot lately and haven't really had the chance to sit down and write updates on everything. As most of you know Tracy passed away about 3 months ago. His funeral was very nice and I think everything went well. Even though we had our issues and we were going through all the battles and the seperation and everything it has been very hard at times to realize he is gone. I think that is one of the reasons its taken me so long to write. I finally got some closure with some past letters he had written me about 4 years ago. Amazing what you find when you look back and things.
Italia is doing really well though. She is getting so big and just talking and giving me attitude. She has started this whole I want this I want that and we are working more on please and can I have and things like that. Lol. Gotta love her still though. Sometimes she just says I want um... I want I want and she doesn't know she just wants : ) The potty training well... no comment. hehe She told me her full out ABC'S the other day and counted to ten all by herself. I couldn't believe it. She still counts to ten but the ABCs are harder to come by now : )
I have taken a few trips and done some fun stuff though. I went to Vegas to see one of my best friends for a few days and just have a vacation! I went and we dyed hair and talked and had breakfast, gambled a little it was a blast. I got to see her baby bump which is adorable. I also went to Joes Valley for a family reunion. It was really fun and I got to see a lot of family I haven't seen in years. Most of us had kids so there were little ones running around everywhere!
This is a lot to take in, but I also started dating Josh Dunn after Tracy and I seperated. He has been great and we have tons of fun together. Italia seems to really like him and get a long with him really well which totally helps.

Easter Weekend

Here are some pics from the weekend before Easter. We had a great time and the kids loved getting stained from head to toe. So we decided to go swimming afterwards and rinse all the die off. We were all worn out by the end of the weekend.

Wonderful Weekend!

This weekend was so much fun. The sun is finally out and shining bright! On friday I went to Logan to see my sister and also pick up my NEW CAR! Well new to me, used to everyone else. LOL! But we had a blast. Italia and my nephew Tyler get along really well, and Kelsi loves Grandma. So we had a really good time. When I got home my other car was gone and the guy had come and picked up it and so I had a nice chunk of change waiting for me. Hehe. Which is only going to stay there for about a week when I right my check for the loan for my new car. Oh well what ya gonna do. Then on saturday my mom & I took Italia to the park and met my sister in law Laura and Trey there. It was a little breezy but it was really fun. Italia loves to swing so whenever we say park she is always like swing, swing. So we had to swing first, and then she got attached to the slides. She was loving it, she would get down on her hands and knees and crawl backwards and tell me buh bye and then away she would go. Then wonderful grandma was always waiting at the bottom to catch her. We had a good system going on. Then we had to make sure and go and swing one more time before we left. Then we came home and ate lunch, then Italia took a nap. Afterwards we went on a mommy daughter date to the aquarium. It was packed, there were so many people there. I though holy cow she is going to get restless and upset, but she did so good. All she wanted to do was look at the tanks for the like 5 seconds then she said, done. So we would move on to the next one, I think that she enjoyed walking on the little rock steps stones more than the actual fish lol. It was so funny because there was a plastic crab that was sitting there where the little kids can go through the coral, and she touched it and was so scared after that of it. I probably didn't help at all because I gave out a shocking "Oh" right after she touched it. Then on sunday she woke up a little early and we got ready, thanks to grandma for helping Italia get dressed, and we went on our way to church. LOL, well yeah today was not a day for italia to go to church. She was not having it at all. I think me and grandma and grandpa all took our time out in the hall with her. Gotta love church, I can't wait for nursery hehe. But then we got home and it was beautiful outside so we all went for a long walk. Italia loves to ride in the wagons no matter the size. Also she has had this thing about footballs and basketballs lately. We have had to have them on the tray with her while she is eating, one almost had to go in the bathtub with her, lol. I am just waiting for the day that I have to put one in the crib with her. She is hilarious. The football isn't small either, she has to have the full size one, but the basketballs are just her size. She is the best! Love you all hope you have a good week!

The Update

Hi everyone, Sorry I have not posted for a while. I am been a little stressed. Tracy and I are getting a divorce, but honestly its for the better. The only depressing thing is that we can't agree on the custody of Italia. So for the past 3 weeks and for the next 6-8 months possibly, we will be going through a custody battle. I just want to thank everyone for their support and love this far. Thank you all! Love you!

December

The Holidays

Hey! Sorry I haven't posted for a while. December was definately a crazy month. First Tracy's birthday, then Christmas with the watsons, then Christmas with the Jones family, and then New Years in Jan. It was a really good holiday. Michelle and TJ were able to come out for a whole 2 weeks and Carol was about to come out for 3 days. Jenn was able to come down and then Eric and I live close enough that well we practially lived at my moms for a week. Went home to sleep and sometimes shower, and then back again for breakfast the next day. It was a blast. I really wish that we all lived close to each other so we could have times like that all the time. But I guess it just makes you treasure them more when they can't happen as often. My mom borrowed the WII from my grandparents, I didn't get a chance to try it, but everyone else seemed to have a really good time with it. Mom told me that is what they actually did on Christmas day lol. Italia was old enough and she was loving unwrapping everything. She even kindof acted like she was excited for what was inside. It was way fun. We also had a fuseball tournament. I can't remember who won but I think either Torrey and I won or we came in second. The little kids all played together really well too. I think that Italia and Tyler have a love hate relationship. They have a lot of the same personality, its funny to watch them play together. Trey even started walking so that was really cool too! Then it was time to say goodbye and celebrate the second half of our holiday. We went down to Tracy's moms house for Christmas. It was a blast too. We got tons and tons of snow and we decided to take Italia out in it and see how she would do. Well she loved in. Then she face planted it and it was time to go back in and get warmed up. While Nanna warmed her up Courtney and I went and had a great time of the fourwheelers. Big Tracy had to work the whole time we were there which was kindof a bummer, but that little girl sure loves her Poppa! New years was good we just went to dinner and watched a movie. Well I watched a movie, Tracy fell asleep. Then you could look out our windows and at 12 there was about 5 sets of fireworks going off, so that was cool to see! I hope all your holidays went well. Oh I forgot Italia can say the sounds of 90% of the farm animals. She amazes me every day! Luv you all!
