Chloe Bug

I feel like I am having to figure this blog thing our again everything has changed!   

So this picture was taking last year. This was her beloved blankie it was actually made for Sydney by her Aunt Becky.  She was made a purple on but attached to this one.  It was a Sad day when blankie started to unravel. However she just attached herself to the purple one to take its place.  Chloe has had a hard year.  She out of all of the kids had the most difficult time with the move. She will still ask when we are going back to Utah.  It has been hard on both of us my spunky fun girl turned into a screaming, clingy, and extra Sassy 4 year old.  She never had a hard time going places and with the move she would scream when I dropped her off at preschool, the Gym or even at her Aunts house to play.  It has been exhausting and very frustrating!!  I am not always a sympathetic as maybe I should be.   I hated having that child who was screaming "MOMmY DONT GO!!!"  Even though I knew she was claiming down with in minutes after I was gone. Last week we were heading to the Gym and her blankie was in the car she wanted to bring it and I said No it needs to stay in the car.  She had a fit; we went inside.  I was then pulled out of class because she was still screaming.  I was going to get that girl.  I took her in the bathroom and told if she didn't calm down I was going to throw the blanket away.  She did stop and went into the playroom and Said "I am sorry for throwing a fit.   May a please stay?"    She did stay but I was so tried of the fits. 

We have finally had a break thorough she has gone to preschool with out crying 3 times! Hooray!!  Every few months has a family me make goals for each other things that we can work on and encourage each other to do better.  Chloe said that she would go to school with out crying. I was still not convinced   On the first day ater she made her goal I could see the determination but that she was also having a hard time.  As a knelt down she had a pool of tears in her eyes that she was trying to hold back.   I asked her what would help and she said she wanted me to pick her up at the end of the day( her Aunt usually brings her home.)  I said okay I will come get you she walked off to play with her friends.  Wow!  I am not sure if that was really all that she needed and it probably would have been enough months ago but it is such a relief to see my funny,spunky girl coming back.  I love her to pieces even if she was be the one who will cause me to have a nervous break down.  Oh, the teenage years or going to be a blast with this little peanut!

Back At It!

The Best Experience ever!

He is Eight! When and How did that happen?! He was the first to make me a mom and with that came so much growing together. He has made me want to be a better person. He is the best kid ever and I really don't know why I was so lucky to be chosen to be his Mommy. I am so humble by the spirit that he has. I hope that I can give him all the knowledge he needs to reach his potential.

Seth's Buddy Jack Mcinelley. Jack thinks that Seth is the Best Guy ever and Seth loves how much he looks up to him.

Seth's Primary Teacher

I was so overwhelmed with the love and support by all those who were able to come support Seth. (in person and spirit we know all the Eaton's would have love to be here). It made Seth really feel how very special the day was. This was another experience that has testified to me that we are supposed to be here in Provo and I am so glad that we have met all these wonderful Families they have change my life forever!

I am so glad that Seth made the choice to be baptized and I am so grateful for the spirit that was there on this special day. I know that we will never forget it.

Dear Seth,
You are so very special to me and Dad. We are so glad that we get to be your parents and are grateful for the person you are. You try so hard to Chose the Right and to always think of others. I hope that you will always try to be this way. You are so very smart and live close to the spirit. Your just plan Awesome! We love you!

~Love,

Seth and Sydney love there teachers this year and are having a great time in school. Seth was sick last week and said that missing school was so disappointing! Chloe is doing a Co-op Preschool with some friends from the ward and she Loves it especially when it isn't Mom's turn to teach. I can't beileve how grown up all my kids are getting Sydney just had her bday and Seth is almost 8. I am feeling old or older at least.

Mike and I at the football game. It was a sad loss but a fun night and a beautiful sun set! We had great seats too.

The Girls were all in Pink one Sunday so I had to get a picture. The other day while sorting laundry I had to chuckle because I sorted it into the following piles: Whites, Darks and PINKS! I love my Girls.

Clarie Dixie 7 months. I can never get her to smile for the camera but she is actually a very happy Baby! She is getting so big to fast I wish I really could slow time down so I can enjoy her more.
Sydney turned 6! She is such a beautiful girl inside and out! I love her sweetness and how hard she tries to do the right thing.

We have been very blessed and Mike's hard work has paid off and he has gotten a few offers to work next year: Honeywell, General Mills and Kellogg. Now we just need to decide which company to go to. We feel so fortunate and blessed with so many great opportunities!

I have a feeling life is only going to get busier, that is a little scary! I hope that I can keep up with it;)
