Blessed.

Im so incredibly blessed.

blessed to be where i am at right now in life, but also blessed for my past.

 Friendships I've made (even though we aren't in the least bit close at all anymore. but thats ok cuz we always pick up where we left off! and i cherish friendships that have that ability). Friendships that didn't work out, friendships that did.

Im blessed for all my trials, my auto-immune disease thats attacking my metabolism, my bad knees, my health issues that made me gain a million pounds, all the people who have hurt me and used me. all MY mistakes.
Because of those things... i am a warrior, I'm a champion, NOTHING will hold me back. It EMPOWERS me to be better and work HARDER!
Im not bitter, I'm not hateful, i actually THANK people for treating me poorly cuz it teaches me patience, and forgiveness, and without those people, i wouldn't know those great attributes.

But most importantly... I'm so blessed and thankful for where i am at RIGHT now!

Every path in the past has led me to the people and life i have right now.
i have an amazing husband. We aren't perfect but we have a perfect ability to TRY and MEND. My amazing babies here on earth and the ones who were taken back early to watch over us until we meet again.

My amazing family. The saying "we may not have it all together, but together we have it all" should be our family slogan. We all clash at times, but no matter WHAT, we are die hard for each other.

My amazing JOB. What i do is a little bit out of the norm of a standard job. In a traditional job.. its all about putting others down to make you look better. If you want to get to the top of a company and make the real money, you have to claw your way to the top. Be better, look better, its all a competition. If someone is better then you in the company, they are a threat..

NOT IN MY JOB

In my job, the only way you can be successful is to reach down and HELP your team. There is no competition. You are your own boss, go at your own pace, make as little or as much money as you choose.
We CELEBRATE everything!
We celebrate our health. We celebrate our achievements. We congratulate and get so excited for people we don't even personally know!
My team goes OUT OF THEIR way to help me.
I couldnt feel more blessed in the path that led me here!

And lastly....
Im so incredibly BLESSED for the FRIENDSHIPS I've made. The people in my life are so in tune with true happiness. Im surrounded with such positive people who are selfless, caring, & empowering.
They lift me up when I'm down. When I'm sad, they are right by my side. But better yet.. when I'm HAPPY, they are even more RIGHT BY MY SIDE cheering me on. Ive been so used to the opposite of that for WAY too long. I feel like we are always laughing, growing, and helping others.

This is a movement!

A shift in whats "normal"

i refuse to get stuck in the ways people think are just "normal" in life.

Its not normal to wish bad on people.

Its not normal to hope to be better then others.

Its not normal to go to school our WHOLE life, PAY for lots of school, acquire debt, just to HOPEFULLY get a job, so slave away at all day, 5 days a week (if you're lucky and its not 6 or 7 days a week), to retire at 65 years old to FINALLY live your life how you truly want.
I REFUSE to be left feeling helpless if i lost my job tomorrow,
how would i pay my bills.

I REFUSE to beg for certain days off.

I REFUSE to have to acquire vacations days just to pay bills while i take time off.

I REFUSE to work opposite of my husband.

Im DONE missing out.

i live my life PASSIONATELY, fully, and INCREDIBLY!

and i get to help people feel healthy and financially safe at the same time!

I AM SO BLESSED!

New Years 2013!

I like to keep my New Years extravaganzas low key, and with my kids.

I know most people like to party and bring in the new year all crazy style, but i dunno, i want to bring it in with everyone who means most to me, my hubby and kids :) 

So this year was perfect! We went to the best friend Felicia's house, had a few friends over, pigged out on YUMMY food, entertained ourselves with dress ups, pictures, sparklers, just a lot of fun!

Felicia and me.

We are so cool haha.

 Bray loves her chow

She was lame and went out of town for New Years ;)

 *sigh* words cant even express the love i have for this man :))))

 haha. My 2 favorite 3 year old girls!

 Bubba passed out haha.

2012 was a really good year!

Ill be doing a re-cap post probably this weekend :)

Baiden's Blessing Day

A month ago, we had our sweet boy blessed! (if you dont know what that is.. its a religious thing). It was such a special day for him. He even wore the outfit that Jeff was blessed in! It was a little out of season (jeff was born in the summer, Bade in the Fall) but it still worked!

 We had a DELICIOUS lunch afterward! Jeff arranged for a smoked ham, turkey, and brisket! We had A TON of extra food cuz there were quite a few people who couldnt make it.

 haha, the huge pink flower in my hair wasnt a fashion statement. i just stuck it there so Braylee wouldnt lose it lol.

Then when we got home later that day, the King clan came over to meet Baiden.

 Hope was SOOOO fascinated and soo adorable with Baiden. She couldnt get enough lol.

haha holding Hope back.

Too too cute.

Thank you to everyone who made this day a special one!

Baiden is such a sweet little guy and we are so blessed to have him with us!

Hatchet Fight Night {11-16-12}

If you are new to my blog, then here's a little explanation! My best friends husband and his twin brother are local (Utah) MMA fighters. So every couple ish months we go out to support them! Really fun times! If you live in Utah, make sure you come support! You wont regret it!!

So November 16th, Jarome Hatch (The Hatchet) was going up against Mr Cisco! They had a previous agreement to keep the fight standing the entire time. I for one was excited for this to see it ACTUALLY happen. Cuz most people are too scared to stand with Jarome due to his knock out/break face record haha.
And i am proud to announce... he DID keep it standing!!

Congrats on the WIN Jarome!!

 Nikki and Jarome's boys watching his fight. How cute!

After the fight we went to a little "after party" for some dancing!

Keep it classy ladies ;)

i hear people wanna be like us.....LOL (inside joke!)

Halloween/October Pics

This is kinda a photo dump of the last of the pics from October lol.

Its HARD to keep updated with blogging when you have a newborn and ALSO work full time doing photography. Slowly but surely.. we shall catch up.

(ps.. blogger/picasa web albums is DUMB for making bloggers pay MONTHLY for picture space. DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!)

 He's so fat! I LOVE it!! Ive always wanted a chubby baby. My wish came true :)

FOREVER YOUNG!
Hey adults should ALWAYS dress up for Halloween! (ps.. please check out my awesome fat suit HAHA!) I was a failed Victoria's Secret model :)!

Half the crew there that night lol. Jeff didnt dress up (how lame)

 Besties :)

Bray was a barbie for halloween :) fits her well! she really looks like one!
(princess and the popstar barbie to be exact. and yes, those are her real lashes with mascara)

Mickey mouse :) Baiden, 4 weeks old

Funniest thing! On Halloween, kids went trick or treating, yada yada. We went back to Nikki's house to hand out candy. Well Jarome and Jared decided to dress up like CREEPER stalker muderer dudes and scare the crap out of the older trick or treaters that were out later lol. Funniest thing ever. Jarome was hiding in the bushes scaring kids, and Jared was answering the door and scaring the kids and even creepily following after them after they left haha. I wish i could have got a good recording or pics of it lol but we had to keep it really dark in the house. hahaha i love my friends. Never a dull moment.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VID!!
