HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year's Eve. I wish everyone the best for this new year that is upon us. Hopefully I can stick to my new year resolutions and have some big accomplishments! I will be at work this evening, hopefully things go well.

SURPRISE!

Mom and Dad tricked me! They got our family a Wii! I had asked for that a long time ago, and they said we couldn't afford one, and couldn't get one this year. And we went out to reserve our movie tickets, when we came back, mom said she left something under the tree. I look under there and there was a bunch of packages not labeled. And when I saw the big rectangular box, I knew it was a Wii! It was a total surprise, because I had accepted the fact that we weren't getting one this year. Thanks Mom and Dad, so cool!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well Christmas came! We opened all our presents by 10:30A.M. WE woke up at 9:00. My parents decided we could open our stockings last night, Santa came early. We had gone to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse, where I work, and had dinner. Then we went around in the car and was looking at Christmas lights. We came home and opened our stockings, watched a couple home movies of when I was a child at Christmas time, and then watched the Polar Express, and then headed off to bed.

So today finally, I got my own digital camera, and it's PINK! My brother, Jeff, will be so happy, because when I was in Arizona, he made fun of me for still using a film camera. I liked my film camera just fine though. But my new camera is pretty cool! All these pictures on here, I took with my new camera, Jeff would be proud! I also got some pajamas, I love pajamas, I am wearing them around the house all the time, so I like to have a bunch. I got some good gift cards to places, and some other fun little things. Well we will be making Christmas dinner soon, and then going out to a movie, to see, Marley and me. Looks cute. Merry Christmas!


Here are our Build a Bear animals that we got for Christmas decorations. So Cute!

Here is right outside our house, here is my car, and it is snowy and windy today.

Here are our stockings hung by the chimney with care.

Here is our dog Brandy, she is really enjoying Christmas. She went to the groomers and got a nice bath on Tuesday, and she got a brand new Christmas blanket to lay on. Merry Christmas Brandy!

Jamie's Christmas Memories!

Well, Two days until Christmas, and I am so excited! The sad part is that it will just be myself, my mom and my dad, which is fine, but we also like to be surrounded by more family. We understand that Jeff and Lindsay can't travel this year, and we can't afford to travel there. And we switch of holidays with Joni's mother-in law and Christmas is theirs this year, but it will be somewhat lonely. Christmas isn't as much fun without little children running around. But I guess we will make due. I just remember all of the fun Christmas traditions we had growing up, that my parents still carry on, just we are all older now, I hope to carry on some of the traditions with my family, when I have one, which will hopefully be soon! I remember waiting until Dad said we could either come down the stairs, or up the stairs depending on where we had slept the night before. Dad would always get his video camera out and take pictures of the tree and all of the presents from Santa, before we could come in the living room. We always had our Santa presents unwrapped and all set up, because then we could see all of the great things he brought us and we would freak out and be so excited. Then as little kids, we would tear through the rest of our wrapped presents, and ask what else we got, when we were done opening all of them. That included me and Joni who were crazy and didn't take our time. Jeff on the other hand always took his time and was slow and patient.

After opening all the presents we wanted to open our stockings, but we couldn't do that until we ate breakfast. My mom would try to space things out as best she could, even though we went so fast. Mrs. Clause aka my mom, would have the best stockings for us. She went around to so many stores finding the cutest things to put in our stockings that were always a surprise, I always loved our stockings, and they cost a lot of money to put all that stuff together. Thanks mom. Also Santa aka Dad would be up late on Christmas Eve with mom putting all the presents together, I don't know how many tiny barbie things Dad put together for me, but I appreciate all of their hard work, on our Christmases. We always had the best Christmases, thanks to them.

One thing we will miss this year is going out to eat, with my mom's side of the family, we did that every year, and my Grandpa Jack would buy everyone dinner, last year he passed away in March, and last Christmas was the first year having that family dinner without him. Grandma Ruth, his wife, did come though, and she surprised us and bought us all dinner, that was nice of her. This year since we won't be in Pocatello, we won't be able to attend the dinner. Unfortunately that tradition is fading, because Grandpa's kids are all moving on, having their own Grandchildren and creating new traditions. I will never forget those many great dinners though, with all of us together. Although one sad thing every year was that Aunt Jill and her family couldn't attend because they live in Omaha, NE, but we did always think of them and miss them.

Well hopefully this year will still turnout good. I would like to say to all of my family and extended family, I love you all and miss you all, and wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year!

Nine Days Till Christmas!

I can't believe it is only nine days until Christmas! I am very excited, the only bad thing is that it will just be me my mom and dad here for Christmas. I may have to work Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure and it is too expensive to go up to Pocatello, ID anyway, or to Gilbert, AZ. We will miss Joni and her family very much, as well as Jeff and his family too. Maybe next year we will get to be with one or both of them for Christmas. Well I finished my first week of work at Texas Roadhouse. It was very hard, not so much the work, just the ware and tare on my body. My back is killing me! All well, I am making some friends though, so that is good. I am very excited for Christmas to come I just have a few presents left to buy. Me and my mom have been watching home movies, it has been fun to look back on all the wonderful Christmases that we have had. My parents have always given us a great Christmas. I just finished writing a family Christmas letter, and I will be sending it out once I get extra copies of pictures back from Walmart to send out as well. I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday and a very Merry Christmas. I'll write more as something interesting comes up.

First Day of WORK!

Well I did end up getting a job. I now work at the Texas Roadhouse in West Bountiful, Utah. It is great to go back there because they always make you feel like family. Also the good thing is that I did use to work there in Idaho Falls, Idaho, a couple years ago, but for some reason I have a really good memory of weird things. I remembered all of my table numbers, the menu, the computer screen to put orders in. So that really helped me. So yesterday, my first day on the job, they had me follow someone around to make sure I remembered everything. After she waited on the first table, she let me take the second. Everything came back to me, so for the rest of the night, we both waited on her tables, just both making sure they were taken care of. Funny thing to find out about this girl, her name is Jenny Hunt, and crazily enough we went to High School together in Pocatello, Idaho. I was a sophomore when she was a senior. I don't think we really knew each other, but it was cool to find out. At the end of the night management talked with me, said that I did a great job, that I had a good memory, so I am ready to serve tables on my own from now on. So that is good no more training, so now I can make money. The great thing is that this Texas Roadhouse has only been open for like 6 weeks, so I have more experience than almost all the servers there. I am not overconfident, but it is nice to know, that I know what I am doing, more than most of them. I am glad I am back to work, now I can make money and friends and just have fun.

Thanksgiving and My BIRTHDAY!

Well we had a great Thanksgiving, and I had a good Birthday. It was so nice to have Joni, Daniel, Jaden, McKenzie, and Spencer down for Thanksgiving. I am very glad they came and so are my Mom and Dad. We had great food that I made, I love to cook! So I didn't mind slaving away making food all day! My Dad helping me keep all the dishes clean. And my Mom directed me on how to cook the turkey and she helped mash the potatoes, she is the best at mashing them.

After dinner we watched a movie with everyone and played a couple games. Joni and Daniel and Spencer were going in the morning for Black Friday shopping, so Jaden and McKenzie slept over at our house. I gave them a bath before bed and read them a holiday story and they fell asleep. I set up a blow up twin size bed so they could sleep on that, so we could all get some good rest. They were both really good at our house.

So for my Birthday, Joni and her family gave me an itunes gift card which I love, I like to get my songs for my Ipod from itunes, and they gave me a snow globe from JCPenny, I just want to thank you for my gifts. Mom and Dad gave me on Sunday, my actual Birthday, some itunes gift cards, and a gift card to Macy's so I could get some Clinique makeup. That is what I asked for. Thank you very much Mom and Dad for a great Birthday. They made me dinner and we also played games, we had fun. Later this week they are going to take me out to dinner for my Birthday. Overall I had a great 24th Birthday. Jeff and Lindsay sent me a present so I haven't gotten it yet, but thanks in advance.

Also Saturday night, me and my parents went to my friend Jennifer Holt's wedding reception, November 29,2008. Me and my parents were good friends with her family, my Dad and her Dad were close, my Mom and her Mom were close also, and me and Jennifer would good friends through Jr. High, and their two sons use to mow our lawn in Idaho. It was a very nice reception and it was good to see them all again, we haven't seen them for years. I also caught the flower bouquet, so hopefully that will bring me good luck in my love life. I also got a new job. I start at Texas Roadhouse in Bountiful on Wednesday. I am excited to go there, I always had fun, and I have worked there before so I remember how everything works. I am very excited. Other than that I am excited for Christmas only 24 days left! I also want to wish all my friends and family a Happy Holiday Season! Sorry there are no pictures, I didn't get a chance to take any when Joni and her family were here.

Birthday Countdown!

Well, I can't believe it is only 10 days until my 24th Birthday! And also only one week until Thanksgiving. And my nephew Jaden will have his 8th Birthday on November 29th, just one day before mine. Happy Birthday to Jaden! I love you Jaden, so so much!

I am so excited for Thanksgiving! Joni and Daniel and their kids will all be coming down for Thanksgiving! I love the Holidays! I love the cooking, being with family, cookies, and everything else that goes with it. My Mom and Dad and I are already in the Holiday Spirit! My Dad put the lights up on the house, he did a great job. I have decorated some inside, we have our stockings hung with care above the fireplace, waiting for Santa Clause. Oh, I just love the Holiday Season!

So I have also been feeling somewhat better with my health, so I am looking to go back to work. I am applying to some places and am waiting to here what they have to say. So I'll update when I find out about that. Jeff and Lindsay and their children will be spending Thanksgiving in Arizona with Lindsay's family, so we won't get to see them, but I wish you guys a very Happy Thanksgiving! We will miss you, and we still do from coming there, we want to come back already! Well I guess that is all the exciting news for now.

More Pictures from Arizona

I just wanted to thank Jeff and Lindsay for having us out to Arizona, we had a lot of fun with all of you. We miss you all already! The kids are so fun to be around and so are you. We had a great time with you. We hope we can see you again very soon.


Here is a good picture of my mom and dad and Cameron at the mall together.

Here is all of us eating dinner at a restaurant Jeff and Lindsay suggested. It was fun and the food was great we loved it!

Jeff and Lindsay had Cameron's baby blessing in their home because it was stake conference when we came so we were able to get a nice family photo. The blessing was very nice, Jeff did a wonderful job and Lindsay is a wonderful Hostess.

Here is cute Little Cameron in her beautiful blessing dress.

This outfit is so cute I couldn't get enough pictures of Cameron and Tyler, they are so cute and fun, we miss them already.

Back From Arizona

Just got back from Arizona, we had an awesome time! I'm a little tired now, but that's ok. We enjoyed seeing everyone it was great! I got a bunch of good pictures down there.

Here is Tyler and Cameron, or Yoda and Princess Leia, just before we went out trick or treating.

Here they are out trick or treating, Tyler did get out of the stroller though, he loved it.

Here is me and Cameron at the Chandler Arizona Mall at the play place for kids. She looks so cute in her outfit.

Here is Tyler at his house right before we left he is just so cute, and loves to pose for the camera!

This is a really cute picture of Jeff and Tyler together!

Heading South For The Winter!

Well, I'm not staying there all winter, but me and my mom and dad are going to Arizona to see my brother Jeff and my sister in law Lindsay and their children Tyler and Cameron. We leave on October 31st and come back to SLC on November 3rd. Kind of a short trip, but enough time to get to spend with them there. I am excited this will be the first time I get to see Cameron she was born just a couple of months ago. This will also be the first time I get to see Jeff and Lindsay's house there, I have never been to Arizona when they have lived there. I did go before when I was a kid. I hope we will have lots of fun, and also Cameron will be getting blessed into the church. It will also be lots of fun to go trick or treating with them on Halloween! I am just so excited. So I am still not better yet, still feel the same. My mom did treat me to a nice massage today, she is the best! I went to my doctor yesterday and she put me on this new medication that is supposed to help headaches, so I hope that it will. But my headaches are very different because I have them all the time, it doesn't ever go away. But we will see. Also, tomorrow I am going to get acupuncture. People have told me it has helped them, so I guess I'll try it, I'll try just about anything to get better so I can be a normal person and go back to work. Well hopefully I will get some awesome pictures from Arizona with all the family and then I will post them when I get back.

Life Goes On

Well, her is an update on everything in my life. First of all, I am about to become an old lady. My birthday is very soon, November 30th, and I will be turning 24. That just seems so old to me, for myself. The neurologist I went to is crazy, and he couldn't find anything wrong with me, and wouldn't help me or give me any meds, so I am going to try to get better the natural way. I have a great physical therapist who specializes in headaches, neck and back pain, so I am going to stick to a strict routine and hopefully I will get better soon, and keep exercising on my own. I did have to quit my job a few weeks ago, because the pain was so bad, I couldn't work. I didn't want to quit and I wanted to take a leave of absence, but I hadn't been working there that long, so they wouldn't let me. But I didn't leave on bad terms, and I have a chance they will rehire me, so in a few weeks if I am better which I hope, I will be headed back there to try and get my job back. I liked it there, the pay was good, and the benefits were really good. So I would like to go back. Also my brother, Jeff and sister in law Lindsay and their son Tyler welcomed and new baby into the world on August 28, 2008. Cameron Jennifer Brummer. I am so excited I get to go meet her soon. The end of October and beginning of November me and my mom and dad will be flying out to Arizona for Cameron's baby blessing. I am so excited, I have not been able to go to Arizona yet to see my whole family out there. It will be great to visit all of them and see their house and everything. I can't wait to see Jeff, Lindsay, Tyler, who is growing so fast, and Cameron, it will be nice to see her when she is still a little baby. Other than those things, last week I had four cavities filled on my left side, and I had one huge root canal done, they even had to do some tissue surgery. And I am still in pain!!!!!! I had to get all my work done before my insurance ran out at the end of the month. Now to go to physical therapy, I have to pay $400/ month to keep my insurance benfits through COBRA, to be able to go to the physical therapist at $30 per time. It is so expensive, but I have to do something to try and feel better, so I can get back to work. That is my ultimate goal. Anyway that is everything that is going on right now. I will write more as things come up.

Well, Life goes on, or at least hopefully. I am still having so much pain. It keeps getting worse. I went to a neurologist now, that specializes in headaches so hopefully he can help me. I got four more MRIs of my head and brain. I don't know if they will figure anything out, but I hope they can help me. Basically my life is full of just going to a doctor's office everyday. I may end up having to have surgery I'm not sure but we will see. Well that's all the news for now.

Here is all the kid's with their new bears. Mckenzie, Spencer, and Jaden. So Adorable!

Here is cute little Spencer with his new bear that he made he is so proud.

Joni and Daniel and their kids came down to Utah and we went to the Build a Bear Factory and to the Boondocks arcade and had a blast.


Here is the kids with all the bears the made! They are so cute, we had a fun day.

MY LIFE!

Well another day, another dollar. So lately I have just been working away, and trying to fight being ill. I had really bad pain starting the beginning of August, my back is always hurting, along with my neck, and a constant headache that won't go away. So I went to a Chiropractor, and some other doctors to find out what is wrong with me. I got some MRIs done, and they said that I have a few bulging discs in my neck causing my headaches. I also got X-rays done at the Chiropractor, and he showed me that my whole spine and pelvis is crooked. Also how your neck bone is supposed to be curved to give you support, and mine is completely straight, so every time I walk or anything, my head is pounding on my out of place neck bones. and I also show signs of early bone degeneration. So I am basically an old lady in a young body. It sucks always being in pain and not being able to do anything fun or be a normal 23 year old. But the doctor said to go to physical therapy and try that, and also to keep going to the chiropractor. So basically my everyday life is waking up and going to some doctor, and then going to work for the rest of the night. Then when I'm done with work drive home for 45 minutes and am lucky if I am home by midnight every night. Its tough but hopefully I will feel better soon. Not much else is going on in my life except that I have a new niece, Cameron Jennifer Brummer. She was born on August 28,2008. Congratulations to my brother Jeff and Lindsay and Tyler, I wish you lots of love and happiness. I don't think anything else interesting is going on in my life, but if something does, I will let you know.

My Puppy!

This is Brandy Brummer, our family dog. I finally got a nice picture of her, so I put her up here. She is so cute!

We all went to an Aquarium when Joni and her family came down, this is a picture of all of us. This was from the Fourth of July that is why we are all dressed up.

This is us at the Fourth of July Parade. It was so hot, and they didn't throw out much candy, we were miserable!

So here is a picture of all of us at the zoo, the only problem is that the guy didn't get Tyler in the picture, he is supposed to be in there I am holding on to the stroller. I guess that is what happens when you let other people take a picture for you.

I guess Tyler got bored at the Zoo because he fell asleep. Poor little guy must have been tired.

Here is another picture of Tyler when Jeff and Lindsay were here in Salt Lake, we went to the zoo, and this is a really cute picture of Tyler.

Just Another Day!

Well another week has gone by. Work, Work, Sleep, Eat, Exercise, and WORK somemore. It's all good though because I am enjoying my new job at Discover Card, really good benefits and making friends, and good money! Well since I do have benefits I am going to see the dentist this week. Going in for a cleaning and a checkup, and I have a coupon from my dentist for free lifetime teeth whitening! I am way excited about that, they give you whitening trays that you take home and use. This will be the same dentist that recently pulled out my tooth in the back, I had a cavity hit my nerve in my gums, so I had to pull the tooth, because I had no insurance, and it would have been close to $2,000 to do a root canal, or $200 to pull it, so I pulled it. I will have to get a new tooth soon too, but that will be $3,000. So that will be a while. Also American Idol Auditions are coming to Salt Lake City Tuesday July 29th at the Energy Solutions Arena. So I am going. I don't really think that I am that great of a singer, or that I would even get on TV or make it at all. But I do like to sing, and I just think it would be a fun experience. I want to see all the crazy people, and just see what it is all about. I just can't miss it. Anyway I guess I will write more later. Gotta go to bed then get up and go to work.

Life's Devlopments

So I am very excited, I got a new job! I now work at Discover Card. I started on July 7 2008. I now have full time hours, benefits that start from day one, I can earn bonuses every month, I have great starting pay too. I am very glad that I am at Discover now, Best Buy wasn't giving me enough hours to live on. I couldn't pay for anything working there. Discover has been great so far, it looks like it will be a great place to work. I also had won American Idol Tour tickets from the radio station, but with my new job I am in training and can't miss any days, so I couldn't go to the concert. I ended up selling my tickets, so at least I made some money. I wasn't mad that I couldn't go, but it would have been fun to go to. I love David Archuleta, watched him all season long. Also over July 4th weekend Joni, Daniel, and their kids came down to celebrate with us. I have pictures from that, but I don't have them developed yet. We had a bunch of fun. I loved hanging out with Jaden, Mckenzie and Spencer. Mckenzie and Jaden spent the night at my house and we all snuggled in my bed together. Jaden slept in the middle, and almost kicked me and Mckenzie out of bed. But it was fun. I am glad that they came down to visit. We started our day at a 4th of July parade, then went to an aquarium, and then the Boondocks arcade. Then we traveled home to watch the fireworks. It was cool, from our house we could see a bunch of towns different fireworks. Well I guess that is all the news for now. I will post the pictures as soon as I can.

ALL The Cousins Together!

I also wanted to add this picture. This picture is all of the cousins on my Mom's side. This was taken right after my Grandpa Jack Clark's funeral, all of us came out to say our goodbyes. We hadn't all been together in years, or had a picture all together, so this picture was so great to have. Cousins left to right Jason, Jessica, Lance, Jenessa, Shaun, me, Troy, Joni, Andy, Keri, Jeff, Becki, and Ty. My mom's children - Jeff, Joni, and Me Jamie. My mom's sister Jill's children- Troy, Becki, Keri, and Andy. My mom's brother Jeff's children- Jason, Lance, Shaun, and Ty. My mom's sister Julie's children- Jessica and Jenessa. I love and miss them all.

Monday June 30, 2008

Well the day is about to come to end, but I have this Blog now so I can write about what I am doing and also add pictures like a picture journal. Anyway right now I am 23 1/2 years old and I live with my parents in their house in Syracuse, Utah. We live on a golf course which is way cool. I have been working a lot, so I don't get to golf very much, but Father's Day weekend me and my Dad got to go out golfing. It was so great, I'm not that bad considering I haven't played in like two years. Also I have been divorced for like 4 1/2 years and so I am dating and hoping to find Mr. Right one of these days. I haven't been dating too much, because I haven't really been asked much. All well, the time will come. In the mean time I am enjoying life being single, and going to Institute classes up at Weber State. But to be honest, I really want to get married and start a family, I really want to have a loving husband, and have children, that is my true calling in life. Well The 4th of July is coming up, my sister and her family are going to come up from Idaho and spend the holiday with us. As soon as I get the pictures developed and on the disc, I will put them on my Blog for everyone to see.

Jamie and Jaden

This is me and Jaden at the Texas Roadhouse in Pocatello, Idaho. My parents and I were up there for my Mom and Sister's Birthday celebration. Joni's Birthday is May 27th and my Mom's is May 28th. Pretty Crazy! Me and Jaden are really close too, he was born one day before my 16th Birthday, November 29, 2000 and then was my Birthday November 30th. I helped raise him from the day he was born, and that little boy is just so special to me, I love him so much! And he already knows how to give me the Bunny Ears, Smart kid!

Family Times

This is Tyler at my house in his high chair eating our famous recipe Chicken Divan. He loves it! Tyler is so cute!

This is my Mom's Dad's headstone. This is where my Grandpa Jack Clark, is laid to rest. He passed away in March last year. He was a great Grandpa, I miss him dearly. His mother Josie Mae Clark passed away exactly one year before I was born, she passed November 30th 1983, and I was born November 30th 1984. I believe that she is the one who sent me here from Heaven. She is laid to rest in the same cementary, just a few feet away from my Grandpa.

Here is Spencer 4, Mckenzie 6, and Jaden 7 1/2. We are at Ross Park in Pocatello Idaho, visiting family, this was the end of May.

June 30th 2008

I've decided to create a Blog, because I want to keep track of all my pictures, and of things that go on in my life, so all of my family can see what I am up to. Not a lot to write about today, just started the summer and it is HOT! I am just gonna post some pictures from the recent months of my life.
