Outside my box...

Remember when I said that my new years resolution was to step outside my box? I have been so far. I was called to young womens as a beehive advisor. That is so outside my box! Anyway I signed up myself and my family for a 1 mile walk run to help support our local park to build a walking path. We will be participating in this on May 16. So look for an up date on this.... Just another outside the box comment on Saturday the 2nd my husband and I along with the kids will be sealed in the Temple. A six year accomplishment! :)

Autism....

I just wanted to share with everyone that April is Autism Awareness Month. Many of you know that Logan is Autistic. We have been proactive in his treatment. We found a biomedical doctor in Provo who has been helping us and we have also been learning. Logan takes 15 supplements a day and a b-12 shot every three days. ( I have had to learn to inject my little baby boy) But I see some results, so I push along. Easter was tough. He is on a yeast program right now. This means no sugar, no yeast, no gluten of any kind only two fruits a day no processed meats, and the list goes on....I should just write what he can have. So for his Easter egg hunt ( which by the way no eggs are allowed) he got his grapes, his favorite crackers, a bunny toy, and best of all a bubble machine. Thanks to grandma and grandpa for making it nice for Logan. He loves mashed potatoes and I made some for our dinner as well as Logans special ones! I am still learning and trying to find good things for him with all these limits. My motivation for all this hard work? My boy off the Autism spectrum. I KNOW this will happen....

A Bit of Heaven.....

Yep it is heaven to spend the day doing something you love. And for me it is scrapbooking. What can be better than a huge place to see all you can and more. It was just alittle bit of heaven. Getting away for the day was nice and spending it with my MIL and SIL this is our second year. Can't wait til next year....

She is driving now

Yep my little girl is not so little anymore. She really worked hard to get that piece of paper. So now she can drive herself. I am excited and sad at the same time. She is getting her independence little by little. She is a senior next year. Then she plans to move to sunny California and start her life out there. I am sad. I already miss her and shed tears over this. I am making sure to make the most of the next year.

Better Late than Never...Sorry Ladies.

I just wanted to post the valentine cards I got back from the swap. So creative these ladies are. Check their blog out on the side. Nagle5 News, Diary of an unconscious mind, Sweet Pea and beans, Just my simple thoughts, The Molino family, and He calls her lemon pie. The rest I don't know but they sure are cute.

Valentine Swap!

Look what I did! I am so glad I signed up for this swap. Thanks to http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/ I think this goes along with "outside my box" new years resolution. Just a small start, but a start.

Happy New Year!

I already knew before christmas my resolution, my favorite morning show a few months back has a theme for the month. The theme was "Be Daring" or in other words live outside your box....this doesn't mean you have to go skydiving (unless you want to) it just means to do something you wouldn't normally do. In the past few years I have managed to slip into a prety routine life. It's not a bad thing, but I need to do more. I use to always "be daring" and I need to put myself out there again. So some of my ideas for this are:

Get over my phobia of flying over large bodies of water. This has kept me from going to hawaii and other wonderful places....

Meet some girlfriends..We moved here a year ago and I still have yet to really meet some friends.

Become a stronger advocate for my son and his autism..I plan to get him as much help as possible this year. This will require trips to salt lake...well worth it.

Build a stronger family unit...we are all going our seperate ways, and need to make more family time.

Follow my dreams... My important ones!!

Make more time for myself and my husband.
