This past Sat the 26th was Kims 30th birthday. We had a car wash fundraiser that raised over 2000, there were a ton of people there helping it was really nice to see everyone gather and work so hard for a family. After the car wash we went to the grave site and let off a LOT of balloons it was so pretty to see them fly up up and away..then we hurried back to Derons to eat and celebrate. It turned out to be a really nice day for family and friends to get together to celebrate Kims life.
SCOTTS LETTER TO KIM
Ok, I have heard there have been alot of questions over Scotts letter to his sister. So let me clear this up. He has been asked to post it, but right now he just feels like it was ment for Kim (even though tons of people heard it at the funeral) he said it doesnt mean the letter wont ever go up just not RIGHT now. This is all still very fresh and he needs his time to heal, But as soon as he is ready I will post it, because it really is very special and beautiful. Love always Cher

Mornings with Landyn
I dont know how other children are, but let me tell you Landyn gives me a run for my money every morning for school. Here is our morning in a nut shell. I wake her up at 7am (which by my standards are pretty good for school time) I go into her room and rub her back for a minute and whisper that its time to get up. She turns over throws the covers over her head and tells me she doesnt like school and doesnt want to go anymore. I give her the whole speech you have to go to school I did it Daddy did it and so on. I go to the bathroom and turn on the bathtub water, about this time she comes in crying and asking my if she could just skip this day and she will go to tomorrows day of school pretty please, I just ignore all of this and keep moving her along. As she is in the tub she makes sure every body part is washed to her liking (which could be two or three times over, but hey she is clean) and then we focus on her hair, thats a whole other story. Now remember the water is never right, its always too hot or tooo cold, which takes up a few more minuets of our morning. I get her out of the tub and get her dried off, which again its too cold and she is never DRY enough,or the towel is never the RIGHT towel, Never big enough..so on and so on. I distract her meltdown, by having her go pick out her panties (I cannot pick them out, she never likes my choices) then we start on what we are going to wear for the day. Now this is where I start to loose my patience. It can take 15 min or more, just deciding what she wants to wear. We have even tried getting them out the night before..somehow my sweet Landyn that goes to bed and will wear anything I pick out transforms to evil Landyn and it all goes out the door. Then we go down stairs for hair, brushing teeth, and eating breakfast. Landyn and her HAIR..I have never seen a kid so worried about how her hair is going to look. With Jaden I could do the cutest hairstyles, she didnt care..but not with Landyn she wants a play by play and even pictures before I even touch her. We really sit and talk about how her hair is going to look and believe me she vetos most of my ideas..she really like the braids with NO ponies thing right now. Next comes the shoe issue..along with the HAIR this could have its own chapter. Enough said. Now I dont know about any of you , but sending my kids off without breakfast just doesnt seem right. (plus Landyn might tell her teacher that I didnt feed her) even though neither of them eat anything in the morning..I might get Landyn to take maybe 2 bites from a bagel or a VERY VERY small bowl of cereal, which she never finishes, but it still makes me feel better to at least have tried, and by this time of the morning I am pooped. Some days I thank God for Jaden, because she is so good about deflecting Landyns issues, but it all is better when she goes to run out the door, but turns to come back because she needs to kiss me good bye.
How to start?? Things have been pretty busy and on the other hand kinda not, so I really havent had very many excuses for not blogging other than maybe facebook! Sept has flown by and I cant wait for the FALL season, Im usually a summer girl, but with this extra baggage on board Im enjoying any cool moments. I am now 23 weeks along..baby Jenner is moving so much, but Im happy to know he is strong and doing well even if it does keep me awake. I ended up in the ER last Sunday morning with pain in my stomach and back, I was worried about Jenner being ok (which he was) come to find out it was a UTI my first and hopefully my last, but from what I understand a lot of pregnant women get them, No thank you!!! Jaden had troupe try outs last Sat and she will find out today the results..she was so excited this morning..waiting 4 days is a long time for her. Scott also worked his FIRST overtime shift, we are so silly but it seems to be awful for both of us, he came home this morning (from being gone 2 days) and said he even got butterflies in his stomach when he saw me..so sweet!! l-Lets just hope he still gets them 20 years from now. LOL I know... I know... how pathetic but we are so used to being together all the time that one extra day away is agony, and I kinda like him a little bit. Kristen gave birth to Kimber Grace on Sept 18th. She is so beautiful and TINY!! We went over Sunday to celebrate Kristens Birthday (which is the sept 21st) and I just couldnt get enough of her she is so sweet and loves to cuddle. It just makes me want Jenner to come soon, January is so far off. LOL Kims Birthday is this Sat she would have been 30, when I think of me at 30 and how much I have done since age 30 it makes me so sad that her life was cut so short..I guess its never enough time. We are holding a car wash for her and then going to the grave site to send off balloons for her. Scott has his good and bad moments, which is expected, I still dont think its completely hit him yet..he still says he cant believe it. Scotts and his Dad have been spending more time together recently, which Scott cherishes. ..love always
