LATELY...

2011-04-08T17:40:00.002-06:00

Well, nothing too exciting has happened lately. I broke up with my boyfriend Steven. We didn't agree on some things, and we kept fighting about it. He also had an issue that he couldn't get over, and it wasn't best for us to be together at this time. And he wasn't sure about getting married, so I know that things weren't right. We broke up right before Valentine's Day, that's ok though, I'm doing better now.

I'm still trying right now to work on my medical issues. It's hard because I don't have a lot of money to try very many things.

My niece McKenzie, just turned nine on April 6th. She is growing up so much! At the end of April I am going down to Gilbert, Arizona with my mom and dad to see my brother and his family, I'm very excited. I enjoy getting to see them, and I like it in Arizona. Well I will update more when I'm in Arizona and post some pictures.

LAS VEGAS BABY! JANUARY 2011!

2011-02-01T15:20:00.005-07:00

So right now I am in St.George Utah for a month with my Mom and Dad. I am really missing my boyfriend Steven, but last week he came down for 2 days to visit me, and one day we went to Las Vegas. We had a really great time. The only bad thing is that we walked the Strip and I got really tired and my feet were killing me! I didn't think that just walking down the strip would hurt my feet so bad! While we were there, we went to the Excalibur, the M&M Factory, the Coke Factory, the Venetian, and the Palms! We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of things, it was great. I'm so glad Steven came to see me, it was awesome to have him here and go to Vegas with him.

Here are some pictures and videos to enjoy!

Happy New Year 2011!

2011-01-24T21:36:00.003-07:00

So I have a lot to share! The year ended and started out fantastic! In December, I met an Amazing guy on e harmony! We talked a lot before we met in person, just getting to know each other, and on December 21, we went out on our first date, and there was an instant connection and chemistry between us! It was perfect! We decided that we wanted to be exclusive, so my boyfriend's name is Steven Sessions! He is the love of my life! We have been together over a month now, and things are going great! He met my family, except for my brother and his family, and I met his family, except for his brother who is on a mission and his sister who is married, I met his parents and the rest of his siblings, all brothers and there are four of them! They are all so cute! I love his family!

I am in Love with Steven, and he is in Love with me. We have talked about our future together and we plan to hopefully get married sometime in August. I'm so excited! We aren't engaged yet, but probably will be here in the next few months or so, with the way things are going.

Me and my parents spent Christmas with just the three of us. It was kind of lonely, but we still had a good time. Christmas just isn't the same when you are an adult, until you have kids of your own. Steven came over on New Year's Eve, and spent it with me at my house. My sister and her family cam down too, It was a blast!

I'm excited for Valentine's Day this year, because I will finally have a Valentine! I'm on a month long vacation with my mom and dad right now, and I am missing Steven like crazy! But we talk everyday! Here is a photo of me and Steven on New Year's Eve.

P.S. Me and my parents saw the Radio City Rockettes, in Salt Lake City in November, that was way cool!

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

2010-12-07T15:06:00.004-07:00

I just wanted to post some photos from Thanksgiving and from when my brother and his family were here, we got some great family photos. My sister and her family came down for Thanksgiving and we had a great time! We had a great turkey dinner at home, and then we went and saw the movie Tangled, it was so good! We got to go to the mall and visit Santa too! Here are the pictures.

Family Visit November 2010!

2010-11-23T19:17:00.007-07:00

Had a great family visit. My sister and her family came down, and my brother and his family flew in to spend time with me and my mom and dad. It was great to have the whole family together at once. It was also very cool to get to meet my new nephew, Luke, just a little baby and so cute! We all had a great time together and I'm glad all of my family came to visit. Here are some pictures I took while they were here.

Happy Halloween 2010!

2010-11-01T20:37:00.007-06:00

Well I got to have my sister and her family came down for Halloween. When they got here we went to a pumpkin patch, and went on a hay ride and got to pick out our pumpkins right off the vine, the kids enjoyed that. Then at the pumpkin patch they had these really cool slides made out of hay, the kids loved those. We also got to watch a pig race, and then we got rained on, so we had to leave. Then we went to eat and then headed to the mall for Trick or Treating, because it was raining really hard. The mall was so packed, there were so many people there all dressed up, it was kinda fun, but a mad house! Then we headed back to our neighborhood to trick or treat there, and we were out for awhile, we had a lot of fun. I was glad my sister came here, and I had a great time with her and my niece and nephews. Here are some pictures!

Update On My Job!

2010-08-27T21:50:00.003-06:00

So I have been working at my job now for 4 weeks! I have been enjoying it, and the pay is good, it is nice to have money again and to get out of my house, and have something to do. So I mainly take care of 2 kids everyday, and then there are sometimes when I take care of 2 more. I take care of a little 3 year old girl, Abbie, she is so cute! Then her brother Brent is 5, he is very serious. The other 2 kids I watch sometimes is Kolton, he is 7, he is a handful, and then there is Kaden who is 12, he is such a good kid, so nice and very helpful! Well Brent starts kindergarten tomorrow, he is so excited. That is pretty much it for now, just working a lot and trying to sleep a lot because I work very early. I am having fun with the kids, they are good kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMERON!

2010-08-27T21:25:00.004-06:00

I just want to wish my niece Cameron Brummer a very Happy Second Birthday! I wish I could be there with you Cameron, Have a great one! Here are some pictures of Cameron from her two years of life.

My New Job!

2010-07-31T23:28:00.002-06:00

So I am about to start my new job as a nanny on Monday August 2, 2010! I am very excited about it. The family I am going to be working for is really nice. The kids are so cute, there is a 3 year old little girl named Abrielle, and a 5 year old little boy named Brent. They are going to be paying me pretty good, and I hope things go well. Well I'll let you know how my first day goes.

July 4, 2010!

2010-07-05T19:32:00.002-06:00

So to celebrate the Fourth of July, my sister and her family came down to celebrate with me and my Mom and Dad. We had a great time! We went to Boondocks Fun Center and played laser tag, and rode go karts, and bumper boats, it was fun! Then we went back home and had a barbecue with hamburgers and hot dogs. Then we set off some fireworks and watched the big fireworks in the sky. The next day I had to take my Mom and Dad to the airport, because they had to go to Kansas. Me and my sister and her family went to the Gateway Mall and the kids got all wet in the fountains, and then we went and looked around the Planetarium. After that we went and had dinner, and then we went to the movies. We watched Toy Story 3! It was really good, I liked the movie a lot and the kids really liked it! After that Jaden and Mckenzie slept over at my house.

I had a great time with my family and I am glad I got to have time with them. I didn't get to take any pictures and I wish I would have. Sorry, I'll take more photos next time.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY LUKE!

2010-07-05T19:22:00.003-06:00

I am so excited to welcome to the world my brand new nephew, Lucas Andrew Brummer. My brother Jeff and sister in law Lindsay had Luke come into the world on July 1, 2010. I am so happy and can't wait to meet him! He weighed in at 7 pounds 2 ounces. He is so so Cute! Here are some photos that I have of him, enjoy!

June 18, 2010 Camping Trip

2010-06-20T19:41:00.003-06:00

So my friend, Russell, from my singles ward asked me to go up camping overnight this last weekend. So I went up tent camping, something I haven't done in a long time, at least not in a tent. I had a lot of fun. We had a couple of guys there and a few girls, so it was just like friends hanging out it was great. We made dinner and played games and had smores. We played the game apples to apples and I smoked everyone, it was great. It was fun to get out and go camping.

Arizona Visit May 2010!

2010-05-22T17:29:00.002-06:00

Well just got back from Arizona, we were there for 11 days! It was a long trip. It was a good trip, the weather was nice. I got to see my brother and my sister in law and my niece and nephew. I got to babysit Tyler and Cameron, we had such a fun time. Also we got to go to the Outback Steakhouse, and the Cheesecake Factory, Red Lobster, and In and Out Burger while we were there. I had never been to In and Out Burger before, I really enjoyed it, it was really good! Also I of course went to Sprinkles Cupcakes, they are the best, and Boston Market. They are so Yummy!

We also took Tyler and Cameron to this cool railroad park, and the kids really enjoyed it. Too bad my sister in law Lindsay couldn't make it to the park that day. We had a really great time with my family down there, and were glad we could visit. We got to spend Mother's Day with them and that was pretty cool too. Thanks for the visit guys and hope to see you again soon!

Happy Mommy's Day! I just wanted to tell my Mom how much I love her! I am so gratefull that she is my Mom, she is the World's Greatest Mom! I love my Mom so much, she is my best friend. This year on Mother's Day, my Mom and Dad and I will be flying to Arizona. We will be in Arizona for about a week. I love you Mommy! I hope you have a great Day!

Jazz Game and Update!

2010-05-02T14:00:00.003-06:00

So my Dad took me to the Jazz Game on Friday night, April 30th. He got us pretty good seats in the lower bowl of the arena because that was all that was left. We had a great view. The Jazz won thank goodness, and now go play the Lakers in LA. Me and Dad really enjoyed the game, it was awesome!

Yesterday, I put on a brand new pair of pants, that I purchased from the Buckle online, and I put my hands in my pockets and I found a very small folded up receipt in my pants pocket. So I unraveled the receipt and it was from KB Toys in New Mexico from 2008, Crazy! So someone must have had these pants before I did, I thought that was very unusual.

Next thing coming up, Me and my Mom and my Dad are headed down to Arizona for a week. It will be good because we will be able to see my brother and sister in law and my niece and nephews, I am very excited! Well that is about it for now, I will write more later.

My receipt from my new pants.

Me and Dad at the Jazz Game on Friday Night.

Another Day, Another Walk.

2010-04-26T21:54:00.003-06:00

Well I have been trying to work out, I go for a walk just about everyday and hopefully I will start losing some more weight. The other day when I weighed myself I weighed in a 135, so that is five pounds down from my starting weight! Yay! Hopefully I can keep up the exercise and lose even more!

I got a new purse from Victoria's Secret the other day and it is so Cute! I am very excited about it, I had to get a new one, which I only buy maybe one a year because my old one got dirty and has black all over it.

The weather has been pretty nice lately, good for walking and getting some sun on my skin, but it is fore casted to rain for like the next 7 days or so. But that can always change. Well I guess that is all the news for now. Everyone here is doing ok, my Mom just isn't getting better but she isn't worse. Here is some pictures of my new purse.

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY SPENCER!

2010-04-26T21:28:00.005-06:00

Family Visit April 2010!

2010-04-18T18:32:00.004-06:00

So my sister Joni and her family came down on Saturday and we did a bunch of activities. My brother Jeff and his family were supposed to come down too, but plans feel through with them, and they couldn't make it. We missed them. When my sister and her family got here, first we went to check them into the hotel they were going to stay at, but me and my Dad had to go get them on the side of the freeway. They were one mile away from the hotel, and their tire blew out, and completely shredded. So first stop they had to be towed to Big-O Tire to get a new tire. That was crazy!

After that we all went to Boondocks, a family fun arcade, and played games. Me and my nephew Jaden went miniature golfing, and I beat him, but only by 5 strokes. My niece McKenzie went on the Bumper Boats and my other nephew Spencer and his Dad Daniel went on the go carts. Then I watched Jaden go on the kiddie go karts all by himself and he had fun. Then we all played arcade games to win tickets. Later me and Jaden got to do some mini bowling and played air hockey too. We all had such a blast there!

Today before my family left, we went to this really cool park, that had an awesome playground. The playground is designed like a castle, with lots of swings and slides. The kids really enjoyed it. Then we went back to Boondocks and me and McKenzie got to go on the go carts together, I enjoyed it and so did she. I just want to thank my sister, Joni and Daniel, Jaden, McKenzie, and Spencer, we had a great time with you.

Also we celebrated McKenzie and Spencer's Birthdays with presents. I took some photos, so I hope everyone enjoys them.

Getting Out!

2010-04-08T12:52:00.002-06:00

So yesterday I went to my first Church Activity, since I joined this new singles ward, that is closer to home. We did a service scavenger hunt, it was very fun! We split up into groups of four and we went around to people's homes that we knew and did random things in their home to clean up. It was great helping other people out, and I made some new friends and met more people in my ward. I had a great time and I'm glad I went.

Also, when I started trying to lose weight, I weighed in at 140, and now I weigh 137. So I have lost some weight and I haven't gained any! Go Me! Hopefully I can just keep losing more and more. Well that is all for now.

Happy 8TH Birthday McKenzie!!!

2010-04-06T16:21:00.006-06:00

Happy Birthday to my neice McKenzie. She is 8 years old today! I just wanted to wish her a Very Happy Birthday and tell her that I love her. I also wanted to share some pictures of her, from her 8 years of life, I hope everyone likes them. Enjoy. I love you McKenzie!!!

More Easter Pictures 2010!

2010-04-06T16:17:00.001-06:00

I found a couple more Easter Photos from the past, so I wanted to post them.

Past Easter Photos!

2010-04-04T14:22:00.003-06:00

I thought I would post some past Easter Photos for fun. Everyone enjoy!!!

Happy Easter 2010!!!

2010-04-04T13:08:00.002-06:00

Well, Happy Easter to Everyone! Nothing too exciting going on here. Just me and my Mom and my Dad. We will be having a yummy Pot Roast for dinner, and watching the LDS Conference, that is about it for today.

The Holidays make me miss my brother and sister and their families. It would be fun to be with my nieces and nephews, all together on every holiday, but I am thinking of you on this day. I love all of my family.

Exercise!

2010-03-29T19:22:00.002-06:00

Well, today I got up, and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to push myself and to go exercise. I actually did it!!! I took an hour walk around my neighborhood, then came home and worked on my elliptical, then I did a full body stretch, and a 10 minute ab workout! I believe that if I keep it up that I should be able to lose some weight. I really want to lose some weight and get back to the weight I was last year around this time before I worked at eBay.

My goal weight is between 100- 110 pounds, right now I am at 140, so I have a ways to go, hopefully I can do, and I will update with any weight loss.

Update on my New Year's Resolutions!

2010-03-28T21:11:00.002-06:00

Well it is almost April, so I have been working on my New Year's Resolutions for 3 months now. Here is my update on how I am doing. So far, I have not lost any weight, but I have not gained any weight either. I just recently was able to stop taking the medication that made me gain all the weight, so I should be able to start dropping the pounds soon. It has been hard to get into an exercise routine because my medical problems have not been getting any better.

Lately I haven't been able to get any good quality sleep. The sleeping pills I have been prescribed have not been helping me sleep lately. This had made my depression worse, because I have been in more pain and not able to do things, so it makes me more depressed. My Doctor just prescribed me a new sleeping pill, but a side effect is possible weight gain, so I am not excited about that. But my Doctor says if I can get some good quality sleep, it will help my depression and my pain. Hopefully I can get some good sleep here soon.

I have been drinking a lot more water, which is good for me. Recently I have cut down on Diet Coke a lot. I used to buy bottled Diet Coke with Lime every few days, and I would buy a few bottles at a time. Now I have no bottles in the fridge, I just have some cans of diet coke, in case I get desperate for a drink. If I go out to eat, which we do a few times a week, then I will probably have a drink then. So I have been doing good on that.

I also started going to Church more often. I found a singles ward just 5 minutes away from where I live. I started going 4 weeks ago. Since then, I have been to Church 3 times out of the 4 weeks, which is really good, considering the one week I was sick with shingles, which was horrible and painful. But I am over the shingles now, thankfully.

I think I am doing OK on cursing. I don't curse that often, but there is room for improvement.

I haven't been on any dates yet, but I just started going back to Church and they don't have Family Home Evening, so it is hard to meet people. They have activities, but not very often, but hopefully I can make some friends soon and go on dates as well.

I also have started working for my Brother, Jeff. He sells credit card terminals and salon software, to Beauty Salons. Since he lives in Arizona, I can work for him here, and go to salons here where I live. It has been hard to get started because of my medical problems and because they have been holding me back. My headaches get so intense some days that I can hardly do anything, let alone get out of bed. It is also only based on commission, so I only make money if I can get people to sign up for accounts. But Hopefully this week, I will feel better so I can get out there and go to some more salons.

Well, that is about all that is interesting for right now. Easter is next Sunday, me and my parents thought about going somewhere, but couldn't come up with anything. So probably just me and my Mom and Dad having a nice Sunday dinner together, and that would be about it. Also, my brother and his family are coming up in the middle of April from Arizona, and will be here for about a week. My sister and her family will be coming down from Idaho while my brother and his family are here, and we will get to spend sometime together. All of us have not been together, all of us, for like ever, so I am so excited to see them all together and get to spend some time together. I'll update later when there is more.

The "Meeting" of A Lifetime!

2010-03-22T21:52:00.002-06:00

Well, I have made this Blog, so it can be like a journal for my life, so I try to document moments and memories in my life that I think are important. And this is easier to post on this blog, than to write things down in a book, because I can type really fast.

About a week ago, on March 13, 2010, me and my Mom and Dad went out for a normal dinner, to The Little America Hotel, in Salt Lake City, they have a nice restaurant we like to eat at. Well, on the way in to the restaurant, in the middle of the hallway, a bunch of people were standing around blocking the entrance to the restaurant, just talking, seemed to be for no reason. Then when I decided to look closer at the people standing around, I noticed someone very special standing there. The person turned out to be Thomas S. Monson, the Prophet and President of The Church of Latter Day Saints! This is the church I am a member of, and not every member will ever get to meet the Prophet.

So my Mother and I walked up to him and introduced ourselves. My Mom shook his hand, and introduced me to the Prophet, and he noticed how much I liked pink, since my purse was pink, my coat was pink, and the extra coat that I was carrying was pink also. Then because I was holding a few things, he also called me a Pack Horse. I just thought this was funny, I will never forget that he noticed those things about me, and never forget that the Prophet called me a Pack Horse. It was a really neat experience, unfortunately I did not get a photo with him, so I don't have one to post. Just wanted to right this down, and remember the date and all the details, so I never forget, but I don't think I can ever forget that.

My Dad's Birthday Video!

2010-03-22T02:17:00.002-06:00

I made a video for my Dad with pictures and music for his Birthday. Just thought it would be something fun. Please enjoy the video.

Hope you liked it, comment on here and let me know what you think! Thanks. And Happy 60th Birthday to my Daddy! I love you Dad!

Pictures From My Dad's 60th Birthday!

2010-03-21T20:12:00.004-06:00

Me and my Mom and my Dad went out to Tepanyaki, one of our favorite places to eat at. We had a great time. I love you Daddy and here is to another long 60 years!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

2010-03-16T20:00:00.002-06:00

My Daddy is about to turn 60 on March 20th 2010. I just wanted to post some pictures of me and my Daddy from when I was younger. I just want my Dad to know how much I love him and appreciate him. I appreciate all he does for me and for my family. You are one of my best friends and a great Buddy! Love you Daddy, Have a Great Birthday!

My Grandma's 80th Birthday Celebration!

2010-03-02T00:18:00.004-07:00

So me and my Mom and Dad went up to Pocatello Idaho for my Grandma Norma Clark's 80th Birthday Celebration! We had a good time. My Grandma enjoyed the party and enjoyed getting to see a lot of people there.

We also went out to dinner the first night there at The Mandarin House, which is a Pocatello favorite of mine. And on Saturday night after the party, we went to Texas Roadhouse and had dinner there. The only thing wrong with the Texas Roadhouse was the service there was horrible, I should know I use to work there, it took us two and a half hours to finish dinner. We couldn't sit at a table all together because there was 11 of us, and our server was horrible, and slow, and I don't think he knew what he was doing. All well, still nice to get together with my family.

While we were up there we also got to see my sister and her family. It was nice to spend time with my sister and my niece and nephews, I miss you guys already. I'm glad we were able to celebrate as a family, and I'm glad my Grandma has had a nice long life, and hopefully, she will still be around for quite a while, she is the only Grandparent I have left. While I was there, before the party, I did her makeup, and we had a really nice chat that I enjoyed a lot, just the two of us.

I remember, ever since I was 6 years old, my grandma has come and stayed with us at our house almost every single Christmas, it has been really nice to spend all those Holidays with her, and look back on the fond memories.

So my Aunt Julie and Aunt Jill and my Uncle Jeff, and my Mom planned this party for my Grandma and did a wonderful job. The decorations were great! They made a really cool book of pictures of my grandma and her family, it turned out so nice. Also they made a video of pictures of all the family, which was awesome as well. My cousin Jenessa sang a couple of songs at my Grandma's Birthday and she is an amazing singer and plays the piano very well, she did a great job.

Well I guess that is it for now. Now I'm just waiting for my brother and his family to come up and visit us this Spring, and my sister and her family will come down during that time too, I'm so excited!!! I think they are coming in April, hopefully the weather will be good. Well I'll post more later.

Updates from Vacation, and with Life!

2010-02-16T23:44:00.002-07:00

Well we are back from our Long Vacation in Mesquite Nevada, we were there for about three weeks. Me, my Mom and my Dad had a pretty good time, the weather was nice for the most part, it rained quite a few days, but was mainly sunny and nice, I definitely enjoyed the weather. My brother Jeff and sister in law Lindsay and their two kids Tyler and Cameron came up from Arizona for a couple of days. We really enjoyed their company, and getting to spend sometime with them. I am glad to be back home in my own bed though.

I am excited to get my tax return back, it is bigger than I expected, and I am excited because I will be getting my Pink Dell Laptop very soon. I was going to get a Mac, but they are really expensive, and the Dell had everything I wanted and I can get it for under $500, and that way I have more money left over, so I can use it to buy other things.

I came back home, and since I am not working because of my medical conditions, I can't find a job that works for me right now. My brother, Jeff is training me so that I can work for him, and help him sign up Beauty Salons with his business. It is nice because I can make my own hours, and don't have to stand up all day, and don't have to sit in a chair all day. It is a commission only job, so I have not made any money yet, but it has only been one week, so wish me luck as I try to succeed at this new job.

Well that is pretty much it, not too much else I can think of. Now that I have a job to do, I feel like I am pretty busy now, more point to my life. Things are going ok overall. Enjoy the pictures that I took while we were in Mesquite, I didn't take that many. They are all really cute.

Wheel of Fortune Disaster!

2010-01-05T22:30:00.002-07:00

Ok I taped Wheel of Fortune last night, January 4, 2010, and when I watched it, this is what I found, I can't believe what happened! Turn up your volume and listen carefully to what the players say. Let me know what you think.

2010 New Year's Resolutions!!!

2010-01-05T15:19:00.004-07:00

Well, a new year is here, and I have decided to make some Resolutions for this year. So here they are, I wanted to have record of them instead of just saying them, then maybe I will keep them.

1. Lose 30 pounds or more. This is embarrassing, but my starting weight is 140 pounds. This medication I have been taking for my medical problems, cause me to gain weight very rapidly, so I really need to lose the weight, that is my biggest goal! I will keep everyone updated on my weight loss.

2. Drink more Water, which will go along good with my weight loss goal.

3. Try very hard to stop drinking Diet Coke, either wipe it out completely, or at least down to one a day or less.

4. Start going to Church more regularly. I need to find a singles ward around me that I can go to.

5. Date more, and make friends. This will be easier once I am going to church more.

6. Stop swearing. I have a little bit of a potty mouth, so I am going to try to stop swearing all together.

I think that is pretty much it, I have a few others, but they are more personal, so I will keep those to myself. Anyway, wish me good luck with my goals, and I will keep you updated on my progress. Also here is a photo my Mom took of me chopping onions.

I wear my sunglasses when I have to chop onions because I always tear up. I'm not sure if it really helps, but my Mom gets a laugh out of it, at least!

2009-12-26T21:58:00.007-07:00

This year for Christmas, my sister and her family came down. We were glad to have company, and we had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from our Holiday.

Here we are out to eat at Tepanyaki, a Japanese Steak House. It was so good, we had a great time! Daniel, Joni, Mom, me, Dad, McKenzie, Jaden, and Spencer.

Here is Spencer, McKenzie, and Jaden in front of the Fireplace for a picture, in their nice new outfit from Grandma and Grandpa, they got for Christmas Eve Dinner.

Here is a good picture of us all in front of the Christmas Tree, in our new Christmas Pajamas.

This house was so decorated with lights. It reminds me of the Griswold's house, from Christmas Vacation.

Had a great Christmas time. Santa did end up bringing me the new pink IPOD I wanted, I was excited, it is so cool. I also got some pajama pants, movies, gift cards, and a new bathrobe. I think everyone else ended up getting what they wanted too. Thanks Joni for coming down with your family, we had a good time.

Halloween and Arizona Trip 2009!

2009-11-07T15:06:00.007-07:00

Well, me, my Mom and my Dad got back from Arizona on Thursday November 5, 2009. We had a great time in Arizona with My Brother, Jeff, and his wife Lindsay and their kids Cameron and Tyler. Although I feel much closer to Lindsay, she is more like a sister to me. Unfortunately I now have a cold, that is what I brought back from Arizona. Boo!!! We all had so much fun while we were there. We ate at the Texas Roadhouse, The Cheesecake Factory, Benihana, and Boston Market, my favorite, since we don't have Boston Market here in Utah. We also has two fantastic homemade dinners at my Brother's house, that Lindsay made, they were so good!!! Thank you so much for all you did for us while we were there.

We also went to this really fun Pumpkin Patch. We got to pick out pumpkins to take home and carve, and went on a couple of cool rides with the kids. On Halloween, we got to meet Blaine Cotter, who was a contestant on The Biggest Loser, he lives two doors down from Jeff and Lindsay. That was really cool. We got to go to this really neat train park and ride a few rides with the kids. We went trick or treating around the neighbourhood, and Tyler ate so much candy that night! Wow! We got to have Lindsay take some really cool family pictures of us all together. We went to Chuck E Cheese, the kids loved that!!!

Me and my Mom and my Dad would really just like to thank Jeff and Lindsay and Cameron and Tyler for everything they did for us while we were in Arizona. We had some really great conversation, fun dinners, and memories to last forever. Thanks so much for everything, we love you all.

As for me back to work soon, and hopefully this cold will go away soon!!! Enjoy all the pictures!!!

OFF TO GILBERT, ARIZONA!!!

2009-10-15T23:45:00.004-06:00

So, ya. I haven't posted for awhile. I have been busy at work, plus now I am on a medical leave from work and have been going to the doctor, and nothing that exciting has happened either. So my same medical problems have come back again to haunt me. I have back and neck pain, and a headache that never goes away. Plus I have a new symptom, my tailbone hurts all the time, I think mainly because I sit down all day for work. I also commute to and from work, which is an hour each way, of more sitting down. Anyway my work allows me to take a medical leave and I also am getting paid for being gone. But, I am working with my doctor, and tweaking my medications so I can get back to work as soon as possible, and where my pain is tolerable.

Anyway, Me, my Mom, and my Dad are headed down to Arizona to see my brother, Jeff, my sister in law Lindsay, and my nephew, Tyler and my niece Cameron! We are so excited!!! We fly out on the 29th of October, just two weeks away, and we will be there for Halloween! Yay! We will return on November the 5th. I am excited to see my family and to go Trick- or- Treating with the little ones. So when I get back I will post all the pictures from the trip.

I found some pictures in my e-mail from my sister in law Lindsay, so I decided to post them for everyone to see so more pictures of when there were here in Utah with us. Enjoy, I will post more soon.

P.S. I am not in any of the ChuckeChesse's photos because I had to work that day.

Here we are watching Tyler open his Birthday presents at our house in Utah.

I am helping Tyler read his Birthday Card.

Here is Tyler at ChuckeChesse's. He looks scared, but someone has to drive that car!

Wow! Two boys driving a car, scary!

Jaden and Spencer again on the Helicopter.

Well me, My dad, my sister Joni and her husband Daniel, and Jaden, Mckenzie and Spencer all went to Lagoon, last weekend. We had so much fun! It wasn't too hot out, which was good, because it felt hot enough as it was. It was so great to go on a lot of rides with my niece and nephews, and just to see them all smiling and having the time of their life, made it all worth it. I'm glad we went and everyone had a great time! Can't wait to go next year again! And Jaden was finally tall enough to go on a big ride, he went on the Jet Star with us! He didn't even cry, he is such a big boy now, it is Crazy.

Also August 16th was my Mom and Dad's 36th Wedding Anniversary! They have made it through a long time! I am glad my parents are still together, and I wish them many many more happy years together.

Other than that, I am just busy with work, work and more work. But my job is going good. So I am happy.

Next fun time coming up, is when we go to Arizona at the end of October, to see my Brother Jeff, and sister-in law Lindsay, and my niece Cameron, and nephew Tyler. I can't wait, see you guys soon!!! Also Happy 1st Birthday to Cameron on August 28, 2009! What a big Girl! Happy Birthday Cameron! Hope you like the presents.

LAGOON... HERE WE COME!

2009-08-14T17:49:00.002-06:00

I'm very excited! My sister and her husband and their kids are coming down this weekend and we are going to Lagoon! I love Lagoon, and I haven't been for two years. I am excited to go and can't wait to see my niece and nephews. I will post all the photos in a few days after we go! Can't wait to see you guys!

Summer Fun!

2009-07-21T17:18:00.002-06:00

Well, not to much fun, just working away! I did get to go camping with my Mom and Dad over the July 5th to July 7th. It was really fun! Thankfully I got to do something fun, this summer. My sister and her family is going to come down in August and we are all going to Lagoon to have a ton of fun!

Lots of Family Fun!

2009-06-28T20:29:00.007-06:00

Well, Jeff, my brother and my sister in law Lindsay and their two kids Tyler and Cameron came up from Arizona. We had so much fun with them.

I love and appreciate the precious time I get to spend with you from day to day. I wish I was there to spend the day with you, but you understand that I can't because I am here at work. Anyway I want you to have a very Special Day, and here is also to a very good year, full of health and love. I love you so much!

I also want to wish my sister a Happy Birthday yesterday! I love you!

Work, Sleep, Work, and try to Sleep!

2009-05-21T22:08:00.001-06:00

Well as you can tell, I started my new job at eBay, and I am almost at the end of my second week of training. I am enjoying it, but I am very tired, because I am working late nights. 3p.m. to 11:30 p.m. everyday, Monday through Friday, and my commute is 50 minutes each way. So ya I'm a little tired, but doing well. That's the only update I have for now.

Happy Mommy's Day!/ First Day of Work/ Happy Brithday!

2009-05-11T11:27:00.004-06:00

Well, First things first. I want to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day and let her know how much I love and appreciate her. I was able to spend the whole day with my mommy yesterday, and give her gifts, it was great. I just want her to know I love her so much, and I appreciate all she went through to bring me here, like the three days of labor that it took. I hope I was able to give her a good day! And I hope she has a great year. Love you Mommy!

Also this weekend my sister and her family came down to spend Mother's Day with us. These are pictures from the park we went to. This park was awesome it was a big castle and unlike any playground I had ever seen before. Thanks Joni for coming down, we had fun.

Well today is my first day of work at eBay! I am very excited but also a little nervous. I will see how things go. But the great things are that the excellent benefits start day one, and the pay is really good also. Well everyone wish me luck on my first day.

The other thing special about today is that it is my sister in law, Lindsay's Birthday. I just want to wish you a very Happy Birthday Lindsay and a great year ahead of you. You are such a great person. I love you and have a great day!

Me and my mom, I am only one day old.

Back From Gilbert, Arizona!

2009-04-27T15:30:00.005-06:00

Well I got back from vi sting my family in Arizona, just a few days ago. I got to see my brother, Jeff, my sister in law, Lindsay, and my nephew, Tyler and my niece, Cameron. I had a blast down there with them. My niece and nephew keep growing up so fast, so it was nice to get to see them. I really want to thank my brother and my sister in law for having me down there, and letting me stay at their house and eating their food. You guys were such a wonderful host and hostess and I really appreciate all of your kindness. Lindsay, I want to let you know that I had a really good time with you and the kids! I loved going to the mall with you, and shopping with you, and also enjoyed helping with the kids, and I have a great respect for what you do 24/7. I was glad I could help you out a little bit though. I can't wait for you all to come up here in June, and again I just want to say Thank You!

Now I want to wish my nephew, Spencer Dallas Davis, A Very Happy 5th Birthday, Today! I love you so much, I wish I could be there. I want you to know you are a very special little boy, and I hope you have a wonderful day, and an awesome year ahead of you!

Also while I was away in Arizona, eBay called and offered me a job! I have been bugging them for months, but they haven't been hiring, now they are and so I took the job. I am very excited and I start May 11th! It will be a great job with good pay and great benefits that start day one, and I hear they are a great company to work for!

Here are some pictures of my niece and nephew from Arizona!

Back From Vacation!

2009-03-27T14:11:00.002-06:00

Well I had pictures from my vacation, but my digital camera is all messed up so I can't post them, I will post them later. Anyway me and my parents went down to Mesquite, NV and stayed in my parents time share condo. We also visited St. George, UT and Zion's National Park. The weather was warm, it was very nice. We also went to Vegas for one night, and stayed at the Rio Hotel. I got to go shopping, I had a lot of fun, and laying out in the sun, trying to get some color, on my white body. I enjoyed vacation, now back to the daily grind. Not too much going on, still interviewing for other jobs, I did interview at Nordstrom just yesterday, and waiting to here back from them, so we will see. Other than that, not too much going on. We are headed up to Pocatello, ID on Sunday to see my niece McKenzie, it is her birthday on April 6, she will be the Big Seven! My Dad has a credit union board meeting on Monday, so we just decided to make a weekend out of it. Well that's all for now. Thanks for the trip Mom and Dad!

So Tired!

2009-03-09T10:04:00.002-06:00

Well I just got done working at the Clinique Counter this weekend at the Nordstrom Grand Opening, it was so busy! In cosmetics you could hardly even move around, there was so many people, and so many different cosmetics lines, some I haven't even heard of! I did have a lot of fun though, but it wore me out. I made some contacts there, and hopefully I will be able to get back behind a Clinique Counter soon for work! Also my sister and her family came down on Thursday the 5th and we got to spend time with them. I love my niece and nephews so much, it was so fun to see her family, we had a great time with them! I miss them already! Well that is pretty much it for now.

Jazz Game! Saturday February 21, 2009

2009-02-22T00:13:00.003-07:00

Me and my Dad just got home from the Jazz game. It was a great game! The Jazz won of course! After there was a autograph signing with Kyle Korver (my favorite) after the game across the street from the Energy Solutions Arena. I went over there a little before the game ended, and was lucky to be the first one in line! So I had a couple of things for him to sign, and we got a picture with him. And I touched him! It was so Awesome! Oh also there was a great tribute at the game tonight for Larry H. Miller, who passed away on Friday the 20th. He was the owner of the Jazz. Thanks Daddy!

Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz Player), me and my Dad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2009-02-20T14:50:00.002-07:00

I also forgot. I want to wish my Grandma Norma Clark a Happy Birthday today! I know my Grandma probably won't see it, but I want her to know I am thinking of her. Also Happy be-lated Birthday to my Aunt Jill Thompson too! Sorry I missed it. Love you all!

Bored and Frustrated!

2009-02-20T13:54:00.002-07:00

I am so bored! I keep looking for work and applying everywhere, and no one is hiring. I did have an interview at Wells Fargo, but they chose someone else for the job, but she did say it was close and that I am a good candidate. It is so hard looking for work no one is hiring, this economy sucks. But I am speaking with the Account Executive of Clinique, and she asked me to come help with an event. There is a new Nordstrom store opening at the Fashion Place Mall in Murray, UT, so I am going to help out that weekend with the Event. I am so excited. And she told me that there may be some Clinique openings soon, and when there is she will let me know, so I can have the job. That would be great I loved working for Clinique, so I'll keep you updated on how that goes. I am just so desperate to find another job, with better pay and benefits.

I did go on a date for Valentine's Day, finally! It has been a few years for me. Anyway we went out to dinner and watched a movie at my house. He is a really great guy, nice, sweet, spiritual, and practically perfect in every way. The only problem was that I just didn't feel that thing, no sparks, no real attraction, so it didn't work out. I wish it would have though, like I said he is a really great person. Anyway, I am trying to go to church when work allows, so then I can meet more people and more guys and go on more dates. But so far no plans for any other dates at the moment. Anyways, that is all that is going on in my life right now.

My Strange Accident!

2009-02-10T22:54:00.003-07:00

Well this would be my battle wound. This is a picture of my chin, my battle wound. Strangest thing happened, very early Sunday morning the 8th. I couldn't get to sleep for the life of me, and I felt really hungry, so I went upstairs to our pantry to get something to eat. So I get in the pantry and I am getting food, and all the sudden I feel like I am going to puke. I also felt a little dizzy, so I went out of the pantry to lean on our island nearby and steady myself. Well all the sudden I passed out and fainted onto the ground. Before going down my chin hit the counter top really hard and I also bit my tongue really hard on the way down. When I came to I had hit the pantry door lying face up half of me in the pantry and the lower half outside the pantry. It was very scary, luckily no one heard me, so I didn't wake anyone. I decided I wasn't hungry anymore and went back to bed, and just had some water.

The next day I did have a huge headache that wouldn't go away, and now my back is hurting, but I did survive. It was just the craziest thing, I had eaten that day, and I don't think I was dehydrated, I dunno, maybe I was so tired that I just passed out. Just a warning to everyone be careful when you go in the kitchen at 3:30 in the morning.

Anyway today I had a job interview at Wells Fargo, I have been looking for another job. This would be for a teller position, which I have done before at Zion's Bank, so I am excited. I will see what happens by the end of the week. I am also excited I have a date for Valentine's Day, it is exciting for me because I haven't bee out on Valentine's Day for a few years, so I think I deserve it. Anyway that is all that is going on.

Happy Superbowl Weekend!

2009-01-30T22:37:00.002-07:00

Well I had my Dad take some new pictures of me today, because I didn't have many recent ones, so this is what I look like up to date. We went out to eat this evening at the Outback Steak House, the food didn't turn out to be that great, but I can always count on the Bloomin' Onion to be good, that is my favorite part! I am getting over my cold, hopefully it will all be over soon. I do go back to work tomorrow, I haven't been scheduled for a while because I have been so sick. I work a double shift tomorrow, so about 12 or 13 hours, hopefully I will be rolling in the bucks! Nothing big planned for Superbowl. I hope everyone has a good weekend. If anyone wants to leave a comment on my pictures, let me know what you think, I value your opinion, because I am very self conscious. Let me know. Thanks.

Same Old Same Old!

2009-01-26T11:34:00.002-07:00

Well, nothing new and exciting going on just the same work and that's about it. I did get sick two times this month. I caught a cold had it for a few days, then I thought I was over it, and now I am sick again, for a longer period of time. No fun! I am still not dating anyone, and I am very lonely. I never get to go to church because of work, and I wish I could. I am still looking for another job, but so far no luck. I am still at the Roadhouse for now, just not enough money coming in though. Anyway nothing else exciting going on.

Here's to the New Year!

2009-01-06T14:10:00.002-07:00

Well, nothing to exciting has happened yet. Just working away and surviving in the snow. I am excited though for all the new shows on TV. Another season of the Biggest Loser, one of the contestants live just a couple doors down from my brother, Jeff in Arizona, on the same street, and they are in the same church ward too. That is very cool. Also the new season of the Bachelor, and American Idol will be on, I am so excited. Me and my mom love to watch those shows together, and we both love Reality TV if you couldn't tell. I have to Tivo some of the shows for when I am working, so I don't miss them.

I do like working at the Texas Roadhouse, however, I am not making enough money, and the managers are not giving me enough shifts to make money. So I am looking for a new job, something more permanent, with benefits, and good pay, that I can stay at for good. I am still working at the Roadhouse until I find another job, this job now was only temporary anyway, until I could find something more permanent. Because also working there has been really hard on my back and my body. Anyway I guess I'll write more later if anything interesting comes up. If anyone knows of a good place to apply or knows anyone who is looking, please let me know.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008-12-31T08:14:00.002-07:00

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!

2008-12-25T18:48:00.003-07:00

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!

2008-12-25T11:40:00.003-07:00

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!

2008-12-23T12:01:00.002-07:00

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!

2008-12-15T20:25:00.002-07:00

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!

2008-12-04T13:30:00.002-07:00

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!

2008-12-01T17:23:00.002-07:00

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!

2008-11-20T16:36:00.002-07:00

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

2008-11-05T15:37:00.004-07:00

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

2008-11-05T15:16:00.005-07:00

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!

2008-10-29T21:46:00.002-06:00

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

2008-10-07T15:58:00.000-06:00

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.

2008-09-23T22:46:00.000-06:00

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.

2008-09-23T22:44:00.000-06:00

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.

2008-09-23T22:32:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-08-31T18:32:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-08-28T21:23:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-08-28T21:17:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-08-28T21:14:00.000-06:00

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.

2008-08-28T21:13:00.001-06:00

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

2008-08-28T21:05:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-07-20T22:50:00.000-06:00

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

2008-07-16T09:19:00.000-06:00

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!

2008-06-30T22:09:00.000-06:00

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

2008-06-30T20:29:00.000-06:00

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

2008-06-30T20:19:00.000-06:00

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!
