Our Crazy Amazing Life

Where the Crazy turns into something Amazing

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Karren Family Photos

I always have great anxiety when taking pictures, which is why one has to beg and plead for a session. And as I'm NO WHERE NEAR A PROFESSIONAL, I always hope everything goes well so it's usually family and friends who get sessions. And it's because they've requested them :)

 The Karren's are no exception to that rule. I worked with Angela in the Stake Primary presidency and got to know her very well. I can truly say that she is quite amazing! Working with her and the other ladies (you know who you are:) was such an immense blessing. I know it was work, but when you have as much fun as we did, somehow the work just didn't feel like work. Is PARTY to much of an adjective?? LOL!

 Here's the really cool part... When you work with someone closely, you get to know that person and their family. It just works that way. So now the Karren's are now some of my favorite people!! Unfortunately our session was cut short as it was raining, so Angela, I owe you a few more photos of Abby and Leah. They are such beautiful girls and I'm bummed I didn't get more of them. Spring time :)

 I can't leave the boys out...the camera loved them! Their photos are my favorites I think. Especially Luke :) Have I said how much I like that boy :) Here's your sneak peek!

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
