The start of a New begining

So, today i have been thinking long and hard about my upcoming birthday that has me turning 18. :) And after a profound thought, i thought to myself, i shouldn't be wasting my time worrying about how much money i am going to spend on this elabrate party, i should be thinking of everybody i want around me that day, and everybody that has come and gone into my life these last 18 years.... including the family i never want to ever go away; the Simpson's; the family that has tajen me under their wings and made me one of their own. I could have never asked for anything more amazing as a "surrogate" family.Ken and Cheryl, Kenny and Tenae, Lori and Richard, Kristi, Lisa, Craig, Staci, and Keri. Yes, we have had our moments and hard times, but our moments of weakness just made all of our relationships stronger, and i am sooo thankful that everyone of them, has made our relationship what it is today :). I tell Lisa all the time, that everytime i sat in the waiting room of the ultra-sound place PRAYING for a little sister (all 5 times) God answered my prayers, not right away but he answered them... God didn't want me to have little sisters, because he knew that all the hardships i have fought in my life would need older sisters to help me through it. And March of 2010 God officailly showed me and opened my eyes that after 14 years, he answered my prayers from so long ago. I LOVE you ALL!! and the only thing that i would like to do on my birthday is spend it with my family, biological and "surrogate".

A birthday is not what gifts you receive, and how much money you spend on a party to show popularity, its who you spend that day with, and its you making and enjoying laughs, and maybe a homecooked meal that eat while sitting around a table full of everyone you love, after you give thanks to our Heavenly Father for giving you that birthday, and everyone around you.

so this year i know what i am doing, and it doesnt include maxing out my dad's credit card either :)

Memorial


9 years ago today, i was sitting in my 3rd grade music class, staring at the tv watching what has changed so many lives.

On September 11th, 2001 America witnessed and the most horrible thing that has ever occured on our soil, and we have only grown stronger. Our citizens have grown closer. We have and still are endevouring the worst economy since the Great Depression.

Today we stand and give thanks to all who have sacraficed lives, limbs, and even their sanity to defend what America stands for, Freedom. And to show the world that America is the home of the Strong and the Brave.

I am proud to be an American where at least i know i'm free and i wont forget the man that died and who gave that right to me.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

God bless the men and women who have fought and are fighting to keep me and my family free

Little Elli


So Elli. Let's just say she is JUST like her mother. anyways.


As Shagaye and i are playing with playdo with the other little kids Elli excuses herself and finds the little play phone and sat on the couch and started blabbing away on the phone. Once i realize what she is doing, i laugh so hard and ask her to come pick up her playdo. she looks at me and says "i on the phone" i roll my eyes and take a picture and send it to Lisa. i try once again and ask Elli to tell whomever it was that she was talking too goodbye and come clean up her playdo. She looks at me with the phone still by her ear with the hands in the air and gave me the confused look and says "i talking to Krissy." "ok, tell krissy you will call her later, and come clean up the playdo so we can leave." Elli rolls her eyes and hangs up the phone. but she doesn't just hang up put the phone down and leave it at that, no she keeps the phone in her hand and proceeds to "Text" on the phone. Elli looks at me and says "i wasn't done talking"

ohhh Elli. She definetly learns from the best!!!!!

Elli bug


so can i just start off saying, Elli is one of the freaking cutest things EVER....

Anyways, last friday (july 16th) i stopped by lisa's house to drop off her stroller and Justin's sunglasses. i went to leave and Elli came running after me, and i didnt want her running in the street so i picked her up and carried her back to the door, while i was holding her she whispers in my ear " I love you kessy" it melted my heart.

I leave and Elli asks Lisa where i was going, Lisa said she is going home. and Elli tells her mom, Oh, I miss her <3

Elli, i love you!!! and i miss you too

Zoo Boise 6/11/2010

So Lisa and I took Lexie, Masi, and Elli to the Zoo yesterday, which was the most fun i have had since the Pocatello Zoo, anyways. we go see the sily monkeys first and the little baby monkey was pestering the daddy. i got it on video, and managed to compare it to Lisa driving Justin crazy for Money, Kristi bugging Jett to stay off his foot and not go to work like doctors orders and me bugging my dad for his credit card all the time. it was really funny.

A little while later we headed over to the lions cave and watched them yawn and sleep for abot 10 minutes! then as we are walking away Elli skips off saying to herself "its a grrr, its a roar!" it was the cutest thing EVER!!!

And then after a potty break there were 5 little ducklings walking towards us so lisa takes my camera so she can get a couple pictures. as i go to follow her Elli grabs my hand and in a very dramatic voice says "Kesy, NO." i look at her in shock and say "why" Elli (still dramatic) "i dont want you to get hurt" i look at her still in shock and she continues to pet my hand and say "its ok, its ok" she is the cutest!!!

Zoo Boise was fun, and i hope to do that a lot this summer

Oh Little Miss Alyx


Alyx is just the cutest little thing ever put on this earth.

Sunday Afternoon Lisa calls me asking me if i can come kidnapp her girls for a few hours and take them to the park so she could get some much needed writing done.

i agree and off to the park we went. The girls played on the toys for a good 45 minutes while i got some much needed knitting done. Then they come running up to me and start freaking out..... "Kesy, Kesy (thats how they say my name) we go on the swings!!!!?????? PLEASE..." and of course i agree and we get on the swings. i was sitting there pushing the two of them and out of nowhere Alyx yells at me.....here is theconversation;

Alyx: I am a Kitty
Me: Oh really? well you are a very ADORABLE kitty
Alyx: Yes, i am a Kesy kitty.
Me: Oh really? what happened to your obsession to Auntie Kristi?
Alyx: Pitty is at home FAR AWAY, and you live with me, my mommy, my daddy, and Elli. so i am a Kesy kitty.


I could not help but laugh and cry at the same time!! its a real honor to be able to step in for Kristi when she is not around because Alyx is OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!! and it just made me so happy that i have won them over in the last 2 years. Alyx tells me everynight when its time for bed that she doesnt like me (yes i know she is tired and grumpy and the only person she does like at that point in time is mommy).

The Love Sack Story

So one morning i go into to Lisa's room to wake her up. I crawl into bed with her and get right up next to her. She wakes up and we are laying there talking (still side by side) and she starts texting...... and the way lisa is.... dont attempt a conversation when she is texting because she tunes you OUT!!! anyways so we start talking about her smoring habits and i mention that i was very lucky she slept on the lovesack at Kristi's house while we were in Pocatello. All she hears is "Lovesack" and looks at me and says "if this is the lovesack, i am outta here." i started laughing my butt off and said "NO... the lovesack at Kristi's house."


so anyways long story short if you ever hear me and Lisa joking about the "lovesack" it is the new name her bed aquired after she pullled a "Keri" on me one morning...


it really is a lot funnier than it sounds, but it was a "you had to be there to enjoy the humor in it" moment...

My Newfound Sisters

I must say that i must be the luckiest person in the world. About a month ago i aquired the 5 (plus 2 (keri and Di) more that are absolutely AMAZING) sisters i have been praying for since i was 3. When my mother or stepmother would tell me that they were pregnant, every night i would get on my knees and pray that it would a baby girl and i would have a little sister to dress up and play with and share fun memories with, but all 5 times there woud always be that little extra leg and my dreams were shaddered. Although things looked up on MArch 5th 2010 when Lisa and I went to Pocatello (to visit her family and for me to do some college hunting) and her AMAZING, KINDHEARTED, BEAUTIFUL mother "adopted" (not literally) me as one of her own. Along with the amazing Mother and newfound father (he is a goofball) i got 5 older sisters and 2 older brothers; Lori, Kristi, Tenae, Lisa, Staci, Kenny, Craig. They are the most amazing people in the world and i would not trade anything that happened on that tip for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!

The Simpson Family is amazing and i am soooooooo blessed and thenkful that i get to be apart of it..... i <3 you guys and just want to say how grateful i am to all of you and everything any of you have ever done for me!!!

and oh i cant forget the 14 neices and nephews that come along with the siblings......Kelsey, Kendall, Kylie, Kaden, Lexie, Masi, Tyke, Addyson, Hayden, Tayson, Alyx, Elliana, Spencer, and last but certainly not least, Ashton
