Enjoy!

I was so Touched

2008-03-03T20:39:00.001-08:00

As you can probably guess from my earlier entry about Peaches, today has been a long day. Monday's always are. Piano, house cleaning and now 2 math tutor students. I also had my in-laws over to dinner. As I sat down at 7:30 pm to tutor my second student I felt pretty overwhelmed. Life has gotten to me lately. Business has been pretty stressful and it just happens to be that time of the month. I just tried to focus on Algebra with my cute student.

When I came out of the office at 8:30 I saw Kyle standing there with a big smile. I went upstairs to find the kids so I could put them to bed. As I rounded the corner into the laundry room, I saw the transformation. The laundry room had about 6 loads of clean laundry piled on the countertop when I started my tutor hour, and now none...thats right NONE!! Every piece folded and put away. I started to laugh and then I started to cry. Then I laid my head ond the countertop and cried really hard. Then I hugged everyone and they cried too. I can not believe how loved I am. Thank you Kyle and kids for loving me enough to do LAUNDRY!!! I love you guys so much my heart could just burst!!

Good Bye Peach

2008-03-03T20:06:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is the day we are going to put Peaches down. She has lasted almost a month since we found out about the cancer. It's never a good day to call and schedule an appointment for your dog to be put to sleep. She is suffering now. The tumor is large and she can not eat dog food anymore. She doesn't even run out of her dog house when we come out. We spent this afternoon letting her run around the yard, play with the kids. A lot of neighborhood kids came and said good bye. I've answered a lot of questions about death and cancer. Kids just can't seem to wrap their arms around death. Maybe growning up doesn't make it any easier.

Tonight we had Kyle's parents and Kanice (Kyle's sister) over for dinner and family night. Kandice was Peaches original owner. She has always loved Peaches. She let Peaches come live with us when she went away to college. Thank you so much Kandice!! We all went around the table and shared memories about Peaches. We then had family prayer. We've had an outpouring of love and peace in our home. I'm thankful for a loving Heavenly Father...He cares about all of our sorrows.

Wish us luck tomorrow.

Childhood Memories

2008-02-26T20:51:00.000-08:00

I'm a little late on this tag...Oh well I've been a late on a lot of things lately. Except Parent Teacher Conference this morning to which I was exactly 24 hours early!!!

I grew up in a small town in Northern Utah. It was an extraordinary town. Not a city, but a town. One of those places that people know where they're from and are very proud of it. I grew up in Hooper. I was related to most of the town and that made me an "insider". I lived on the same street as my Grandparents and 3 of my Haws uncles and their families. It was the kind of place where "everyone knows your name."

Our street was a quiet street. Very few cars traveled 4600 S. There was a sign posted that read 35mph. I looked at the sign many times wondering if it was really necessary on a street like mine.

I had one fabulous older brother, and 6 amazing little sisters. There was always someone to be with. It was the kind of childhood with magical summers. We would go swimming at Grandma's pool every day. We played Marco Polo and our favorite...SHARKS!! After we were wrinkled like prunes we would head back to our house. On my way past the garden I would be reminded of my favorite lunch...tomato sandwiches. If you've never had a Hooper Tomato warmed by the sun and salted to perfection, well you've never lived! I would pick a couple red jems and head for the house. After toasting my bread and aligning my tomatos just so I'd head for the family room. We loved sitting under the swamp cooler feeling it's cool breeze. There I would sit, watching Matlock and eating. Of course I was never alone. I always had a sibling or two to sit in the breeze with. Oh how I love the smell of swamp coolers.

There were so many things to love that I hardly know where to start and I could never find a way to end. Rootbeer on the top deck of the House Boat, football games in the Shiffman's yard every day, Hoooper on the 4th of July, riding my bike with no hands, Disneyland and the 3 Musketeers, Beach Houses, cleaning with mom (so I could get private time to talk), Valentine Dances, Daddy Daughter dates, a big green van filled with laughter and fun, I was truly blessed to be a Haws.

How can you measure a childhood? With Love!!! These experience would mean very little if they weren't little packages of love in my past. Each experience occured with people I love and who I know love me. My parents worked tirelessly to give all 8 of us the most amazing start at life. They taught us to share, to obey, to work, to play, to pray, and most of all to Love!!! To love ourselves, to love each other and to love the Lord. I am eternally grateful for the childhood I had. I am thankful for the sweet memories that are like old friends waiting to be visited.

Loving Peaches

2008-02-12T21:14:00.000-08:00

Just a quick update on Peaches...she seems to be about the same as last week. Although she is receiving a lot of extra love and hugs. We had a great day with her on Saturday. We hiked the Red Hill. Thank you for all of your kind words, it means a lot.

Peaches

2008-02-07T20:55:00.000-08:00

"If only I can be the kind of Person my dog believes I am!"

Peaches is a dog among dogs. She is gentle, kind and loving. She is adored by the kids and she adores them right back. She never barks at night. She is never aggressive or even wild. She is happy to do whatever you want to do. She is clumsy, a terrible swimmer and just plain wonderful. She is Eliese's best friend.

On Sunday James noticed that Peaches' mouth was swollen. It began to look like she had a golf ball in her mouth. When it wasn't better on Monday we decided we had better take her to the Vet.

Kyle took Peaches to the Vet today. Peaches has Cancer. She has a very fast growing tumor in her mouth. The Vet said that probably with in one to two weeks, she will no longer be able to eat and she will have to be put to sleep.

Today has been a very sad day. We have cried and cried. Everyone except Peaches and Eliese are very, very sad. It really breaks my heart to see Eliese just happily playing with her dog. The kids are taking this really hard. They cried with real sorrow. The have experienced real love and now are experiencing real grief.

Maybe we are given pets to teach us love, patience, and responsiblity. Maybe they come to us to teach us the important lessons of death and grief. Dogs usually only live about 12 years. Peaches is almost 12. Kyle has made the comment often that dogs do not live long enough. Maybe they don't so that we can practice knowing death. Tonight has been a good opportunity to discuss that plan of happiness and the Savior's gift.

And so to Peaches...We love you! You have been a very noble, good dog and friend to All.

A New Kind of Excersize

2008-02-03T20:33:00.000-08:00

I love running. Kyle and I have really found a great hobby. We love the runner's high and the pounding of the pavement. I love the emotional stability that it gives me. All of my problems seem to disappear a couple miles into a run. Not to mention the health benefits. But running is a little hard on a body. My leg is still bugging me a little. So....we are changing things up a bit.

Saturday we went on a long bike ride. I've never been a big biker. I feel somewhat clumsy on a bike. I guess it takes some practice (I hope practice will solve the problem). Anyway we had a great time!!! Lots of miles in way less time than running. It was fun!! Plus my leg felt great afterwards. Maybe biking will be a great addition to running!

Star Wars

2008-02-03T20:24:00.000-08:00

Tonight Jeff and I were building legos together. Jeff had built a Star Wars ship. He said, "Mom will you build a house for my Star War's Dude". (Where did he learn Dude???) Before I could even answer he said, "Oh, it can just be a house, I forgot you don't even know about Star Wars". I laughed really hard as I told him that I had seen the Star Wars movies when I was little. I happen to know quite a lot about Star Wars.

Kids are really funny and quick. Apparently mine already think they know more than me. Maybe they do...I'd better stay on my toes, they are just getting smarter!!!

President Hinckley

2008-02-03T20:12:00.000-08:00

My emotions have been so near the surface all weekend. I was a little late getting the TV on for Pres. Hinckley's funeral. When I caught the first glimpse of the conference center it looked just like General Conference. Then I realized that the beautiful display of flowers in front of the potium were sitting on the casket of our prophet. I immediately began to cry. It just hit me (again) that our beloved prophet has left this mortal life.

President Hinckley has played such a large role in the church for a very long time. He was so visual through both Pres. Benson and Pres. Hunters presidencies that I do not remember this church without President Hinckley. He is so loving and good. So Christlike and kind. I loved his humor and his testimony. He was so positive and always believed everything would work out. I loved his love for all of us. I never got to meet him, yet I knew him and knew he loved me. I am so greatful to be a member of the church, that we have a prophet of God on the earth.

Thank you Pres. Hinckley for the life you led. Thank you for giving all that you have for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for touching my life and making me strive to be better. Thank you for loving me. I love you and will miss you. I hope you recieve all the happiness our Father in Heaven can give.
All my love...

Blogging

2008-01-22T20:48:00.000-08:00

I was thinking about blogging as I posted my latest entry. I was thinking to myself, "Do people really get sick of my Smile Boxes? Would they rather just see a few pictures?" I've also been wondering if my use of ... gets annoying to others. I guess the true question is, Do we blog to keep track of our own lives and memories, or do we blog to stay in touch with others? I think the answer has to be both. So I will tell you why I enter so many smile boxes. (I have no idea why I use ... so much, I guess it's what I type while I'm thinking?)

When James was a baby we were living in Provo. Kyle was still going to BYU. Provo has to have been the birth place of modern day scrap booking. I literally lived 1 block from Pebbles in My Pocket. I was fresh out of college, had 1 baby and absolutely nothing on which to use my mind and creativity(what little I possess). A friend showed my scrap booking. I think she thought I was from another planet...how could I have possibly lived these many years and never known about stickers, paper, layouts... I fell in love. James's darling face came to life on my cute pages. I kept getting better and better as I got ideas from others. My mom warned me that a few kids down the road and I would not have enough time or energy to keep it up. She also said the later children would feel less loved as their pictures were stored in a shoe box, not on scrapbook paper. "No", I said, I would vow to scrapbook everyone!!

Well I just happen to be farther down that kid road my mom talked about. With 4 kids and everything that comes with them scrap booking had come to a dead halt. I had kept up until Eliese was born. It was really stressful because I love Eliese and she is darling and deserves a place in the scrapbook. Kyle told me I should turn to digital. Rindi did a lot of research and also went digital. With help from Rindi, I found "Smile box". It is my answer to scrap booking. If I just enter pictures onto my blog, the scrapbook question is not solved. And so my finished products usually find their way onto my blog page.

I am loving blogging. I love having a running journal of our regular life. Our life looks so happy on the computer screen that it is actually making me a better mom. I want to be the person I see smiling with her kids. I am also loving the relationships I am able to have with all of you. This is a wonderful new hobby. Can I keep it up forever?? Who knows but hopefully I can keep it up until the next wonderful replacement comes along.

PS Is Pebbles in My Pocket surviving with all of the digital? I hope so, at one time I sure loved that store!

Family Night

2008-01-22T20:42:00.000-08:00

Monday was Martin Luther King Day. For many it was a holiday, not Kyle. When you're self employed sometimes you take days off that others work, and work when others are off. Well I wanted to do something special with the kids so we decided to go to the city swimming pool. As a kid, I used to love going to swim at the Roy Complex in the middle of the winter. I always thought it was sooo fun to swim when there was snow outside. My parents did a great job putting on activities for our family. The task of getting 8 kids ready to go swimming in the middle of the winter seems overwhelming. They pulled it off in wonderful style. Thanks mom and dad for the great memories. Hopefully Monday night we produced some for our kids. We had a "swimming" time.

The Craziness Continues...

2008-01-20T20:12:00.000-08:00

I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...and maybe addicted. Kyle and I have become addicted to running. We ran the marathon in October and can't seem to get it off the brain. Yesterday we ran the 1/2 marathon in St. George. There were about 1800 runners. It was so fun. A marathon kills you, a half is just plain fun. It is 13.1 miles and we loved every minute. As an added bonus, Stalee (my sister)and our sister-in-law Amanda trained and ran with us!! I loved having them running! Thanks to all those who supported us. We Love You!

Animals

2008-01-13T20:47:00.000-08:00

I was not born with the language of animals. I have been scared of animals from the time I can remember. My mom says that I have never gone through a traumatic experience which scarred me for life...I just came this way. I have bad memories of house dogs and slumber parties. Jogging in Hooper was always a treat... plenty of stray dogs, cats and an occasional pig. I grew up in a farming community, yet the love of the farm animal did not rub off onto me.

Then came Eliese. A mother's love know no bounds for her child. Eliese was born to sore with the Eagles (or at least pet a kitty). Eliese delights in EVERY animal we see. And seeing the animal is not good enough, she wants to run right up and grab them. She squeal with delight over anything with 4 legs.

I have had a softening of heart. When I see my darling baby find pure joy in the animal world, I cannot remain so strongly against all animals. I will not say I love animals, but my fears and feelings are softening. I am becoming a little more "normal" in my attitude.

I still have a ways to go. I will admit I am concerned for the day when Eliese can form the idea into a sentence..."Mom, can I pleassssse have a KITTY!!"

Eliese being darling with Peaches (notice they are in the House!)

Writer's Block

2008-01-11T20:27:00.000-08:00

When I began blogging it seemed like I had plenty to say and post. With the fall activities leading straight into the Holidays, there was always a cute picture to add. But what does a blogger say in January? I have been going about life in a very regular way. Nothing interesting is happening. I can't even think of anything funny to say. I didn't even take the camera to the park yesterday!! However I feel myself wanting to re-enter my blogging world. Soon my site will be as interesting as ever(but that's not saying much). Well until I get over this writer's block...Farewell.

Christmas 2007

2008-01-02T20:35:00.000-08:00

Well this post is a little late...but you know the saying "Better Late than Never". With all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas plus a glorious week in Hooper, I have not been blogging much. I'll get caught up and post the Hooper Pictures soon. What a wonderful Holiday Season!

Eliese Turn's Two

2007-12-26T19:37:00.000-08:00

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Eliese turned two on December 19. We had such a wonderful day. We went to the Bear Mill. She immediately fell in love with a kitty. Since her brothers and Brynn are her best friends we checked them out of school and brought them with us. We then went to lunch at Chuck-A-Rama. It was so fun. Eliese is a little angel in our lives. I love her so much and cherish each day that I spend with her.

I love you precious baby!!!

PS Eliese got sick the next day. She spent an entire week very sick. It was bad timing with Christmas but she's finally feeling better.

Cherish Life

2007-12-16T20:58:00.000-08:00

Tonight I write in a somber mood. Last night a man in our ward, Bro. Cox, died. He had a massive heart attack. He was not young, he was 70. But because he had children late, his kids were our ages. His youngest is a senior in high school. His daughter and son are also in our ward and we know them very well. James is very good friends with his grandson.

This has made me stop and think a lot. I would like to share a few thoughts. Bro Cox is a very rich man. He lived in a very big home and had all the money you could wish for, to buy any material thing he wanted. But more importantly he was a very good man. He had 12 children, and many grandchildren. He was constantly giving and donating and serving. He was so kind and good. He was an example of what is really important in life. We are grateful to know his family.

When everything in this life is over for us, it will not be the riches that matters. Money is so stressful at times that it threatens to be the focus of life. I know we've all heard this before, but we really need to think about this. IT WILL NOT BE THE EARTHLY THINGS THAT MATTER!

We were feeling down yesterday and knew that getting outside would help, so Kyle and I went for a jog. While we were running past Bro. Cox's house I asked Kyle if there would ever be a good day to die. The answer is really no. As humans we were built with the desire to live. But because we don't know when we will be taken from this earth, we must live so that any day would be a good day to go. We must treat others with kindness, love, honesty and respect. We must repent quickly and forsake our sins. We must study and pray so that we know Heavenly Father. We must keep a record for our posterity. We must love our families every day!

I want to take every opportunity to love and hold and hug. To say a kind word or listen to a story from a child. I want to stop and read a book or play a board game. I want to smile and laugh more. I want to be more Christlike and have more Charity. I want to be the person my Heavenly Father wants me to be.

I pray every day for safety for all of you, for my children, for Kyle and myself. I never want to deal with tragedy. But I must admit to myself that death is not the only thing that takes little children away...time does. All children grow and the only thing I can leave them with is my love and memories. Now is the time to act.

Love like there is no tomorrow. And be thankful for our dear Savior who conquered the grave so that there is always a tomorrow.

Love,
Sunee

Thursdays

2007-12-13T20:44:00.000-08:00

Mondays are hard work and hard to get excited about. The weekend of course is wonderful. Then there is Thursdays. I actually like Thursdays. I like that it is near the weekend. I like that you don't feel so much pressure to go to bed early since your near the weekend. I like feeling like the work week is almost over.

BUT...ever since my kids started school I have hated Thursday evenings. Just wait to all those whose kids are not in school yet, Thursdays will get worse. Spelling tests are always on Friday, meaning studying on Thursday. Homework packets are due on Friday, so last minute homework is done on Thursday. It seems every week I start on Monday trying to get ahead of homework and spelling so that Thursdays are not so frustrating, but it never seems to work. I just finished a couple hours of reading, spelling, math etc. Turns out James was not doing long division correctly, now after 3 pages and a million problems later, James is doing long division correctly. (The math teacher in me could not let it rest!!) Just a side note, James was the first one in his class to pass off his times tables 1-12! Yeah James!

Well everyone is finally settled, excepted Eliese who took a long, late nap. My job is almost done! Good news...Tomorrows Friday!!

Sunee

Oh I almost forgot, at 9:15 Brynn suddenly remembered that she was chosen to read a story to the class tomorrow. Oh how I love picking a book and practicing it a 9:15 on Thursday evening!!!

Gingerbread Houses

2007-12-10T20:06:00.000-08:00

On Sunday we made gingerbread houses. I have only one comment to make in constructing a gingerbread house... USE HOT GLUE!! I was given this suggestion and it worked perfectly. Then you can put frosting over the seams afterwards. Putting them together was actually fun and not frustrating!! The kids decorated them and I think they did a great job. Christmas time is soooo fun!

Christams Party

On Saturday night we had a little get together with Kyle's friends. They all grew up together. They all brought their wives. We had a really great time. Kyle and I tried our hand at making trifle. It turned out really well!

Headache

2007-12-10T19:35:00.000-08:00

Blogging has dried up for a while. Why? In a word HORMONES! I've been too busy just making it through the day. To top it all off... today I have a huge headache. I'm always hesitant to say "migraine", but today I'm going to label it as a migraine. If several sharp pains that feel like a constant knife in your eye, accompanied by nausea is not a migraine I don't know what is. Well enough for this post, it has been WAY to cheery!!

PS We watched Mr Kruger's Christmas tonight for family night. Watch it. It's really touching!

Kyle's Always Cooking Up Something

2007-12-03T22:09:00.000-08:00

Kyle loves to cook. He also is very into "plating". I guess it's he artistic natures coming out. This weekend he made several wonderful meals. He likes the kids to feel like they are in a 5 star restaurant. Check out how he serves our kids!!

Brynn Enjoying the Fine Dining!!

Ham on sourdough bread with melted munster cheese. Served toasted with an egg on top. The sauce a mayo, mustard mix. It was sooooo Yummy!!

James loving the Fabulous meal.

Christmas Ornaments

2007-12-03T21:56:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Kyle spent most of the day at Tithing Settlement. I wanted to do something fun with the kids. We decided to make our own ornaments (how domestic!!). We had such a great time. They turned out really cute. They were so easy and fun that I decided to post the recipe.

Holiday Ornaments

2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup water

Add water add at once. Stir well until moistened. Knead for 5 minutes. Roll and cut into shapes. Bake 350 for 30-45 minutes (we needed 45 minutes). Cool. Paint. Enjoy!!

Finished Product!!

This is how we all learned that we don't want paint on our arms, legs, bellies...

Amazing Weekend

2007-11-28T21:39:00.000-08:00

We had an amazing holiday weekend. It started on Wednesday when we got to see Kyle's sister Shannon and her family. When we lived in Riverdale we got to see them often and now we don't see them nearly enough. We had fun spending the day with them.

We headed to Hooper Wed. evening. Thursday morning we found out Judi was in the hospital in labor. What an exciting event to happen on Thanksgiving. I can't think of anything to be more thankful for. Early that afternoon Judi gave birth to a healthy 7lb 13oz, 20 inch baby boy. His names is William Micheal Coburn. We were all so proud of Judi. I'll admit we were all a little distracted on Thanksgiving. Maybe a little baby hungry??? Well we still had a great turkey dinner. We had so much fun playing with cousins.

Friday we got to go ice skating and eat at the Burger Bar (yummy!). We also got to see little William. We cut our stay a little short because Judi and Mike are currently living with my Mom and Dad. We knew they needed a quiet house to come home to.

Of course Saturday was awesome...GO COUGARS!! They tried to give us all heart failure but finally pulled out the win (maybe it was luck?). Kyle and James were thrilled. We celebrated with a date to Red Lobster. I had shrimp. As Bubba on Forest Gump would say, "I love Shrimp".

Well now I'm back home and blogging again.

For this wonderful life, I give thanks!

Brynn's Baptism

2007-11-28T21:32:00.002-08:00

Brynn was baptized on November 10,2007. I know I am a little late on this post. I'm trying to get used to living my life in blogging mode. Brynn was baptized by Kyle. Mom, Dad and Millie came to St. George. We also had Kyle's family and many of Brynn's friends. The baptism was so wonderful. Brynn was so beautiful and excited. I was proud of Brynn for taking this big step. We had a big pasta dinner afterwards at our house. What an amazing day! Thank you to everyone who sent notes and gifts to Brynn. It is great to be so loved.

Sports

2007-11-28T21:24:00.000-08:00

James and Brynn both just finished their sports seasons. James played flag football. He loves football. He is consumed by football. He plays football at every recess and after school. All that practice paid off. He was so fun to watch. He played quarterback and runningback. He was also great on defense. Kyle helped coach his team. It was a fun season. GO JAMES!

Brynn played soccer this fall. I coached her team. I admit I know nothing about soccer but I know a lot about little girls. We didn't win much, but we had so much fun. I loved the girls and being with them. Brynn really had a great season. She has developed some great skills. She scored 4 goals this season and is a great player. GO BRYNN!

Here Comes Winter

2007-11-19T20:07:00.000-08:00

I decided to post some pictures of a marvelous summer day. We fished and had a picnic. We swam and played. On Wednsday we are heading to Hooper for Thanksgiving. Northern Utah has had an Indian Summer, but it is going to get cold just in time for us to show up. Oh well the kids love and miss winter. I love seeing my family and having a wonderful time in Hooper. We'll post pictures of our fabulous time at Grandmas.

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go....

James's First Slideshow

2007-11-19T20:00:00.002-08:00

So I guess all of my interest in journaling has rubbed off onto the kids. James created his first smilebox and wanted me to post it. As you can see he is ALL Boy! His friends and Jeff are also jumping on the bikes.

Grand Canyon

2007-11-15T22:10:00.002-08:00

This summer we went on a day trip to the Grand Canyon. We went with my parents and Millie. It was really fun. I am afraid of heights. I am really afraid of heights with 4 energetic kids. Why did Eliese insist on hiking all by herself? She suddenly found her independance and didn't even want to hold hands. Lets just say this was a battle I won. Anyway we all made it home safe and had a great time.

Halloween

2007-11-13T13:24:00.000-08:00

Halloween was so spooktacular this year. With 3 elementary school parties, an Eardley family party and a huge ward carnival we were in our costumes ton(Yeah for the kids, lots of work for the mom!). Our neighborhood really gets into the "scary spirit". St. George is so warm on Halloween that Trick-or-Treating is a blast. Everyone in the neighborhood is out enjoying the evening. We gave out about 600 pieces of CANDY!!

BYU Football

2007-11-13T13:16:00.001-08:00

BYU Football has become more than a hobbie this year, it has become an obsession. I thought I knew all about BYU fans and then James discovered Cougar Football. He has raised the bar on what a true fan should be. Let's just say we bleed blue. In October we went to Las Vegas to see BYU play UNLV. We had a fun little overnight stay and a great time at the game. GOOOOO COUGARS!

St. George Marathon

2007-11-13T12:57:00.000-08:00

Kyle and I have been jogging regularly this year. This summer we decided it was the year to tackle a marathon. We began training and it was so exciting. We were running partners and we had so much fun. We ran about 35-40 miles a week! On Oct 6. we both finished the marathon!!! It was awesome.

So We Begin...

2007-11-13T11:31:00.000-08:00

OK so somehow I have jumped onto the blogging bandwagon. The other day I was reading my cousin Emily's darling blog and I told Kyle that everyone should have a blog. In my life people have come and gone but my love for them has remained. I want to stay in touch with all of the friends and family that we rarely get to see. So with this attitude I begin blogging. I was a bit intimidated to be a blogger. I want to start off by saying this may not be an incredible site but it will be filled with fun and love. And so to everyone who may join me on this blogging journey, please leave a little note or let me know if you also have a blog. I hope you enjoy getting to see a little into the life of the Eardley Family.
