no blog for long time

Wow I have not been on here since spring and it is fall already. Life is to busy to blog. Honestly I get tired of the BS people put on these blogs, everything is so beautiful and perfect and I love my in laws and church blah blah blah...really why does not someone put the truth??
life is not perfect but Mine is really pretty good. sometimes I despise my neighbors and I want a new husband or hate my job but all in all life its good. OH, most of my in laws I hardly know and decided a long time ago if they cared they would call too. I have no desire to impress them. Life has it's ups and downs and I could use more money but we will survive. I have faith in Jesus Christ but not my congress... called Orin Hatch, Bob Bennett, Jim Matheson today to tell them they better change health care and quit listening to the insurance industries. That was exciting until the snotty little intern for Hatch said "Ohhhh" like he could not give a damn that they got another call, he said it with such disdain I'm sure he was waving his little limp wrist, whispering bitch and rolling his eyes. I do hope they do something good for this country but Boron Orin really needs a boot to his butt. At least bald Bob has given it a good ole school boy try. Jim Matheson he needs to clean the cob webs out or I wont vote for him again.
anyway life is good in the middle of home remodel, Nate is back at football and Chris is in college what a life ! hows that for a rambling blog??? You come back now ya here???

Soccer season ends

Nates team did a great job only had one loss all year way to go boyz!

Reflections of a Hardy Christian boy

It is hard to believe that my boy is turning 18 May 29th, and graduating from High
school June 4th. It seems like yesterday when I recieved the call to pick him up. It was May 30, 1991 , I was getting ready for my evening shift at St marks hospital and Childrens Aid society called, the social worker Melba said "your baby is here, It's a boy come and get him" I just totally freaked out and told her I could not get off work. She laughed then calmed me down and saying "what would they do if you were in labor now call work and then layne and let me know how soon you can get here". I called Layne at work and then My parents and brother's. The agency is in Ogden , an hour drive from Salt lake, Layne and I did not speak a word until we arrived both in a happy "is this a dream" shock. One look at that baby and I knew it was meant to be, he was so tiny and I held him tight afraid they would want him back. We named him Christian Hardy After his Grandpa Hardy who he shares a birthday with, and after my grandpa his great Grandpa Chris.
He was greated by Grandparents George and Ann, Uncle Twain & Aunt Kathy and the cousins Sara, Brynn, Chelsea and Trey. The family brought diapers and all the things we needed for our Newborn son. It was one of my happiest moments. I thank God and his Birth Mother for this gift of life and allowing him to share his life with us.
We love you Chris!

My Boyz & Mothers day

I love my Boyz, they are good young men. The photo is taken by Lulubelle photography you should check out her blog site. Chris surprised me for Mothers day with a beautiful 18k gold cross necklace he was so excited he had picked it out and paid for it. Nate gave me a very interesting cactus to hang in our cactus garden, it is a banana cactus, I think it looks like dread locks! I love it! I'm very lucky to have such good boys, they are kind, friendly and loving. What more can a Mother want!

Nurses Week May 6-12th

Nurses Day is forgotten at my place of employment, They make it Employee Appreciation Week so everyone is included, they do not take the time to Thank the many Nurses who work here. This year we do not even get a gift due to the economy. If you have ever been ill and in a hopsital or needed assistance from that nurse care manager you know how important Nurses are to Americas Health. One good Nurse can make the difference to many lives. If you know a Nurse or have a family member that is a Nurse let them know how you appreciate them let them feel the love!
HAPPY NURSES DAY MY FELLOW NURSES!

Nate in his Goalie shirt

Here is Nate at half time in his yellow Goalie Shirt he is the best looking kid on the team!

Sports, men and soccer

I have probably had the worse experience ever trying to help out with Nate's soccer team, first there are two men who have to be in control and in the beginning they were not the coaches, they were his football coach's not the "Futbol" ones. The coach is a nice kid named Joey who really knows soccer but is a young return missionary with no organization skills. Layne and I had been asked to help out in the beginning because we have experience coaching soccer but today We quit.
I have had it with these crazy men, the one sent an email announcing he is the Owner and manager of the team, the other who keeps telling me he does not want to be in charge keeps taking over but seems to leave us out of his decision making and communication. They seem to only talk to each other and their LDS ward friends. so we have no idea what is happening or who is showing up to coach or if games are cancelled , I have myself on hold waiting, not knowing and I need to keep the household organized and on schedule. I also field calls from angry mothers who know us. The whole thing is a total joke. These men are total controlling high on steroid's "I'm the man I'm the boss" and just real pains in the ass. Today I felt such relief sending the "I quit" email to them. Nate will keep playing but it will be just for fun and nothing serious if we feel like not showing up we won't or if there is something else to do on our Saturday we will be gone. Honestly I have never seen anything like these people in all the years we have volunteered. We have seen a lot in sports, from basketball where parents try to run each other over in parking lots to crazy football & baseball parents who scream and hit their children when they do not win. The leagues are full of ugly people and my suggestion to all young families play instruments. Music can be competitive in the upper grades but musicians are nice good people, the whole sports thing has gotten out of hand and people go crazy putting too much pressure on the kids. What happen to being good sportmans? or just having fun?
