Happy Fall 2010



Well Hello fellow bloggers. I can't believe it's November already. Where has this year gone? Well, we moved into a new home. It's about a block away from where we used to be. It's much bigger and has a fully fenced backyard. I repeat... FULLY FENCED BACKYARD! Those of you who know our KBug know how important that is :)
The Buddy Walk was in September and was AMAZING! Scottie and Kacie came down from Newport Beach to represent Living The Dream)( They did soooooo much. It couldn't have gone better. It went so well in fact, that the president of our chapter asked me to take over completely for 2011 Buddy Walk. We'll see...
Kaiya is doing GREAT in first grade. She loves riding the bus and has made lots of friends. It's so cute! We are working really REALLY hard on potty training. Some days are better then others. She has a potty watch now which is really helping her at school. Wish us luck :) Ryan is getting so big!! She is trying so hard to crawl right now. She has mastered the art of backward mobility and going around is circles. Now, just to get one knee in front of the other :) She says "Dada" "Ma" and "Hot" So cute! She LOVES her sister so much. Those two are hilarious together. Dustin is working like crazy and is doing great. He started a band called "Tainted Halos" and has been practicing every week for the last 4 months. They're first show is December 8, 2010 at Burt's Tiki Lounge. He is very excited. He writes all the lyrics and the music for 98% of their songs. He plays guitar and sings. This is his Passion and I'm so happy for him. I am working at a gym as the daycare manager. I have been there since August. The gym is sinking i think but i will be there til the end. Its the perfect job for me. I get Kaiya off to school, take Ry to work with me and get home just after lunch time.
Life is good. Pretty Crazy. A bit overwhelming. And a whole lot of beautiful.

New Life






Wow its been a long time since my last update. Our computer took a dive but is back up and running now so there is no better time then the present to give you all an update. After losing our baby girl in August 2008, i made the commitment to run the Ogden Marathon. During my training life threw many... many speed bumps my way. How i kept my head on straight and stuck to my strict training schedule, i have no clue. However, i did it. On May 16th of last year i ran my first Marathon crossing the finish line in 4 hours 30 minutes with Kaiya in my arms, and unaware of the growing baby in my belly :) On that same day we moved out of our apartment in Farmington and into the cutest little house just a few blocks away. The house is adorable and the yard is amazing. Huge grassy area for Kaiya to play. Huge garden and behind that we have about 6 fruit trees. We love it. We found out on Fathers Day 2009 that we were expecting another baby. We had a feeling but weren't going to take a test or tell anyone until we were pretty far along. That was until at a bbq on Fathers Day my father in law looked at me and said "Mrs. Booker, is there any particular reason you're glowing?" Needless to say, we ran out and got a test immediately. It was a wonderful pregnancy and on February 13th 2010 at 8:17am, we welcomed Ryan Grace Booker into our family. She is now 7 weeks old and life is great. Kaiya is on Spring Break from Kindergarten and is all registered for FIRST GRADE!!! I'm so proud of her. Dustin is working like crazy and also going to school. He's an amazing provider and a wonderful husband and father. I'm out of time today but I've brought you up to speed.... More soon.
