November 2011

It's safe to say, I am not as blog savvy as most and need to change that cause everyone's blogs are so cool and then there's mine! Haha!
Update, my baby girl will be turning 13 in 2 days and I'm not ready to be the momma of a teenage girl! She plays sports, this was her first year trying volleyball and she liked it. This is her second year playing basketball and I'm proud to add she decided to be more aggressive this year, YAY!! She says soccer is still her favorite sport though. She rides horses any chance she gets and loves to take care of them! She is such a great young woman and I'm extremely proud that she is mine!!
We are getting ready for a trip to good ol' Pima in a week, and my kids are impatient like their momma!! Rilyn has been trying to pack his bag for a week and a half now and everyday I have to remind him that he needs clothes to wear to school and packing them isn't a great idea! Haha! They have a couple good reason to be so anxious for the trip, not only to see their dad(who they miss so much) but they have a baby horse named Paisley that they are so ready to meet!! And go hunting with their dad after Thanksgiving dinner! I'm pretty sure that's Rilyn's main reason for the excitement! ;)
Collyn, being my Dennis the menace, has been challenging my mothering skills! He means well, I swear, but has a hard time showing it more often than not! I love him to pieces though and wouldn't change him for the world!! Now, if we could only get his two front teeth to finally come in, the poor child has been without them for over 2 years now! Haha!
Rilyn has an arm on him that a few of the senior class kids here are surprised how good he is at football at such a young age(and size). He has been trying to teach his baby brother how to throw a football and is coming along great! He's a great teacher! If he's not tossing the football with Uncle Dusty or cousin Ryker his momma steps in and helps. I admit I'm their toughest critic when it comes to most stuff but it's only cause I believe if you're going to do it, do it right and give it your all! Both boys played "Little Dribblers" basketball last year and will be playing again this year. It's a great opportunity for them to learn early and be prepared for jr. high sports and it's fun to watch!
I'm so blessed to have these 3 beautiful children and that is the one thing I am thankful for all year long!!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe Turkey day!!

June 19, 2010

Our wedding day! WOW!! What a great day, I married my love! Now I am Janalyn Younger or Mrs. Dallas Younger!! Whichever you prefer to say. It came together really fast, less than 2 months to be exact! Been engaged since May 09 and still hadn't made any plans, so I decided I wanted it to happen in June cause I was ready and Dallas just agreed with everything. He said it's my day and he will be happy with anything just as long as we were married at the end of it all. All 6 kids were able to be a part of our big day, it wouldn't have been a good day without them ALL! They've all been waiting and asking for a year so when it finally happened they were so excited! I love my life right now!!

Holy Cow!!!

Ha ha ha I guess you could say I forgot that I had a blog page!! lol I received an e-mail from PJ last night, so I got on her blog and low-and-behold there was my name!! Wow am I losing it or what?! So I think it is time for an update!!!

We have had a few holiday celebrations since my last blog. Everything has been going ok. Caitlyn turned 11 years old on November 17th. Collyn turned 6 years old on February 24th. And Rilyn will be turning 8 years old on March 29th. Yes my babies are getting big, growing very fast!!

We have had our issues, that's for sure, but we have made our way threw all of them!!!

Dallas and I are still doing great together!! The kids (all 6 if them) are getting a little anxious and constantly asking when we are getting married. He currently is working for a friend in Roswell, NM, but travels between a few other places hauling cattle. Does a variety of work(ranching stuff). He loves being in NM and TX areas!!! I am currently a full-time student at EAC and work weekends at a hotel in Safford. So when I am not doing those two things, I try to spend as much time with my kids as possible!! We usually hang out at home but still it's time together and works for us!

Easter is approaching and the kids are ready to go to the lake!! We (if I get the weekend off) will be celebrating Rilyn's birthday while camping. Needless to say, the boy is excited!!!! We all are ready for a good camping trip, given that our last camping trip was almost 2 years ago!!

Well stay tuned for picture updates and general updates later..

HeHeHe!!!!

So we are now at the end of my birth month and it is a miserable hot and humid summer. We have done many things during the summer and a lot of nothing as well. I know I am ready for my peeps to go back to school and for Collyn to start his Kindergarten year. YAY!!! Yet nervous for his transition in a new school and environment. At least he will have 2 older siblings to help watch over him. All 3 are very protective of one another. Caitlyn danced last night at the 24th of July celebration here in Pima. We stayed to watch the fireworks shortly after. That was nice cause PJ and family moved back to Safford so we got to hang out with them, which was nice. My birthday is sneaking up on me quickly, which is strange cause it doesn't seem like it is any where near. By time I post again I will be 30 and flirty (not much different I guess). Other than that things are about the same, average days.

Vegas Trip!

Ok, so 1 week after my TX trip I flew (no driving! I had enough!) to Las Vegas, NV. It originally was a mom and (3)daughters trip. But as time went by it the amount of people grew, it became a trip with Shauna, myself, PJ, Mom, Morgie, Shelly and Raylene. Which was still all girls and family so it was still fun! Shelly, Raylene, Morgie and Mom all shared a room and Shauna, PJ and I shared another on a different floor. We did lots of walking and not enough partying. I know you go to Vegas to party, but I had never been so I was more wanting to see around then drink. It was nice to have an adult trip and NONE of us had to worry about kids the whole time. But we with young children were ready to get back to them after it was over. I am not wanting to travel for a few months after all that I did within a 3 week period. All very worth it though!!

Wow!

So the whole round trip to TX was so much fun! I had the opportunity to see alot of georgous land and homes! I am ready to "pack 'em up and move 'em out!"(Strawberry Shortcake quote) We left Safford, AZ on Thursday the 28th around 3 p.m. and arrived in Huntsville, TX on Friday the 29th around 6 a.m. We left Huntsville, TX on Sunday the 1st of June and just has a sight seeing road trip detouring threw a bunch of small towns on our way to see the McClain's in San Angelo, TX. Our whole Sunday was driving which was fun we played strip i spy, yes I lost!! ;) We stayed with the McClain's until Wednesday the 4th. We headed back to Safford sight seeing the rest of the way. We detoured threw Ozona, TX which is where a part of the movie "Gone With The Wind" was filmed in one of the homes downtown. It's a stairway sceen(Iwouldn't know, I have never seen it). It was so much fun in TX. JudyRae and the kids gave us a quick tour of San Angelo and their fun stores. We got to tour an old "whore house"(they have a not so blunt name i just don't know how to spell it) called Miss Hattie's. i started to miss my babies horribly by the 2nd day we were and I think it is because I knew they were 2 states away and I couldn't just hop in my car to see them a few blocks away. :(

Yay!

So I was told today that we older 3 sisters and our mother are going on a Vegas vacation without men or kids!!! I am so excited for a few reasons! One being that I have NEVER been to Vegas, ever! The other being I am just excited to do adult stuff in anywhere but here, Safford, AZ. I am also excited because my fiance' and I are going to drive to Huntsville, Texas with his brother and sister-in-law to his neices graduation. So that is also gonna be my first time in TX. Getting to see lots of new territory will be fun for me and not having to drive makes it all that much more enjoyable! YAY!!! Lots of fun stuff for me in the next few weeks going on! Not to mention my coming up wedding!! :) So in the mean time I am going crazy with the end of the school year programs for my kids that I can't remember what I have or have not done! I will be sharing the kids with their father every two weeks for summer break so that will be a nice break for me as well as the kids!
