I had the absolute best time! For all those who doubted me, I did it. Went 3 days without Diet coke, slept outside, no shower, walked 27 miles while pushing a hand cart, and Loved it. Seriously one of the best experiences of my life. I fell more in love with my husband (if that is possible), what a guy! I am so impressed by him, it is not even funny. He is so willing to help me every day pull our hand cart and do more than his share! I am also so grateful for all my blessings, cars and air conditioning and good shoes and beds and and and! Sage was such a trooper and the kids in our family inspired me! I learned being mentally strong is more important than being physically strong. Finishing something is great for your self worth, and believing in something is everything!!! The best part was I surprised Brett, and myself!

surprise!!!

Happy 15th Birthday



This is what your daughters face looks like
when you give her Taylor Swift tickets for her birthday!!!


This is what her friends faces looked like when they found out they were going too!


My awesome niece Heather, hooked me up with the tickets. She made the impossible happen. The tickets went on sale friday and she got a pre sale deal the wed. before!


The best part of this day, was that Sage was convinced I hadn't made her a cake. She kept saying "Mom what are you making for my party", and I just acted like "oh Sage we will just have ice-cream. Sage actually thought I had blown off the one and only daughter I have, ha,ha,ha... She even offered to make brownies for the party. lol








Mother daughter time





Sage and I had a little weekend away from the boys. The trip to Ogden was a nice little break from the day to day cleaning, carpooling, and baseball that I call life. Sage had a convention and competition in Ogden. So we left Friday and drove through a snow storm for a great dance weekend. The convention was amazing and the talented dancers and teacher we are exposed to in Utah is unreal. Their team did very well in the Competition and got to perform in the closing ceremonies. The past week was a stressful one, Sage had to make the hard choice to either try out for Drill or Cheer, and ended up going with drill (not a popular choice at Murray High). Lots of tears shed over the thought of doing something without her friends. She made the Drill Team and is excited about her choice. She loves to dance and it shows, she worked her butt off all week at Drill tryouts and then Danced for over 15 hours Friday and Saturday. I am so proud of Sage and the little lady she is, she handles hard situation with a maturity that is far beyond her years. Wish I was more like her, hmmmm
