This mama has a goal!
Take MORE pictures!!!
Update:
Jackson:
Elder Jorgensen is back in the groove!
He is working and working hard.
He and his new companion are a great team.
Jacks says that they get along SO good!
We sent him his package yesterday!
He can't wait to get his JIF peanut butter!
I absolutely love seeing his face and hearing his voice every Monday.
The change in that rule that came earlier this year was seriously the greatest blessing for this mama!
He has been out for 11 months!
Braxton is working hard and doing really well in school.
He worked a 13-hour shift on Monday.
He is learning so much at his new job.
Peanut got a speeding ticket about a month ago - on his way to see his mama.
It was a $270 ticket!
I was so proud of him because he went to the court and set up a payment plan.
He did not ask to have the ticket lowered.
I asked him why!!
He said, "I was going 82. I didn't use my blinker to switch lanes. That's what I owe."
Integrity, Son. Integrity.
Kaydon now has two jobs.
He is still at Cold Stone, and also got a job at Hollister.
Kaydon has always been the brother who has spent the most time with Colton.
But, that really is at an all-time high.
They have lunch together every day.
They have planned activities that they do all the time together.
It's super cool to watch.
They read scriptures together every morning.
I just love listening!
I am loving our relationship right now.
There is nothing like hearing Buddha say, "I am unbelievably proud of my mom."
Colton is my absolutely favorite dashing partner!
That kid makes me laugh like no one else on this planet.
He is the funniest.
He is a hard worker with Mommy.
He never complains about our long weekend shifts, either!
I really do need to look into him getting a job that he can get a pay check from.
I pay him to clean the complex, but he really wants to work like Brothers work.
He is doing really well in school this year.
I am, as always, grateful to teachers and administrators who support those with different abilities.
This mama is crazy-busy.
I work my full-time job.
Then, I dash almost full-time.
I am extremely involved with Green Horizen, as a member of the leadership team.
I am still selling Younique - going live almost every day.
We also still clean the complex.
I am also now a Primary teacher - so planning lessons again is super cool.
I am really trying to schedule a day every few weeks with Carrie that the boys and I can go over after work to do an activity with the babes. It's just my favorite.
I continue to develop new or worsening symptoms.
These are just part of my new normal.
My brain gets tired much easier.
It is much more fragile.
Although these new or worsening symptoms are frustrating, and sometimes I have a good cry - I am grateful for what I AM able to do!
I found this image and I love it!
I love that I can send this to my kids and ask them what color they are at or look at it and see what color I am at, and then adjust our lives accordingly, until we can get back to a safe color!
The boys and I discussed at Family Council what we should do for Thanksgiving - stay home or go to Papa's.
The boys are very set on having our own.
I think that's amazing!
So, Mama will be cooking up a storm for Thanksgiving and we will do our own traditions!
Which will include decorating for the holidays, of course!!!
