Who, what, where, when, why????

I am to the point of not knowing what to do with a certain aspect of my life. I don't know where to go, what to do, when to do it if I can make a decision on something, why its happening to me. Life is a confusing thing. Good thing I have the gospel in my life. I would be alot more lost right now without it. So therefor life is great. Good thing a friend is in a similar situation as me. We can vent to each other and somewhat help each other through it. Well this is a random post. But hey thats ok.

Standoff in Farmington Ended Sadly!

Monday morning I get a text from my friend Denver who said told me there was a standoff in farmington. First off I don't think I knew what a standoff was. So I got on KSL.com and read about it. I kept hearing news throughout the day. Turns out it was at a house down the street from my friend Brady's. Here's a brief synopsis of the story. This all began as a report of a family fight around 9:30 Monday morning, and it quickly escalated. The SWAT team was called in after police say that Wood fired a gun into a garbage can.
He sat in a black pickup truck outside his home, pointing a gun at police all day and refusing to surrender. They eventually sent in a robot with tear gas, but that did not work. The standoff ended about twelve hours later.
Well Kurtis and I were doing homework that night and we hadn't heard anything from Brady or the news so we decided to go over there and see if the road was still blocked off. Sure enough it was. Well we saw brady and Sam outside and decided to drop by and say high. Kurtis wanted to get closer so he walked down the street. Of course police wouldn't let him get that close. I was still worried because there was a guy with two guns and the police and swat team surrounding them. So we were just chilling with our friends and an hour later we decided we should leave and finish our homework. Right then we heard a noise. It sounded like a big bang. We all jumped. We went out side. There was about twelve of these going off in about thirty second intervals. Also we heard pepper pellets go off too. In between this we heard men yelling and almost like noises of pain. It was scary to watch. We knew something bad was going to happen. Then we heard a gun shot. We knew he was probably dead. Its so sad. We assumned he shot himselfIt didn't hit me til today. But this is stuff that goes on in Iraq and places like that all day everyday. I am so fortunate to live in a great place away from it. I mean this doesn't happen everyday. I realized the scaryness of it all and the reality of what I saw. Wo I can't believe it.

Homecoming Dance

The cutest couple ever...jk
the dating couple
the engaged couple
the married couple

Last friday Kurtis and I went to the homecoming dance. It was so much fun to get dressed up in my pretty purple dress I had from dances I went to in high school. For dinner we went to the institute because they had free dinner. It was spagetti. Then us girls went to Shanae and Tricia's apartment and got ready for the dance. It was fun to be with just the girls for a bit. I think we kinda got all hyper around each other. We ooo'd and aww'd at each other dresses and our hair and makeup. Then the boys came and got us. We went over to the dance. My group of friends and their dates were all there. At the dance we were back and forth between Kurtis's friends and my friends. It was fun to dance and get away from homework for the weekend. This was the best dance I went to because One I was with Kurtis and then our friends were there. Couldn't have asked for a better dance.

Some Random Pictures

Here are some pictures of my kids that I nanny. How I miss watching them four days a week. I now watch them two days a week. I have a new family. They are pretty great. After first they were really hard for me to deal with but now they are getting used to me and we are having fun. They actually somewhat obey me now. Knock on wood. I will have to get some pictures of them one day. There names are Addie, Olivia and Samuel. But the pictures I have on here are of Luke, Claire, and Gwen. I brought them to my house because their mom needed rest. She hadn't gotten any sleep while her husband was out of town. I think they enjoyed my house. My family googled over baby Gwen.

The other picture is from when we went roller blading. It was one of our last summer activities together. We have been meaning to go for a long time and never have. I had roller blades. The summer before Kurtis bought roller blades when we were dating the first time. Denver, sam, Kurtis and I were going to go but then it started raining. Well we never went and his roller blades were never used. Well finally at the end of the summer he used his brand new roller blades. It was so much fun to go roller blading together.

What I am Thankful for?

I have wanted to do this post for a long time now. Just haven't had the time. Sam put this on her blog and so I am copying her. When I pray in the morning and night I forget to say things I am thankful for or it turns into Heavenly father thank you for all my many blessings. I am sure Heavenly Father is saying "Kayla why don't you name these many blessings you are saying you are thankful for" So hopefully this list will help me when I go and pray at night. On another note when I have heard my nanny kids pray they thank the lord for simple things. Sometimes I think I need to think and thank like them. They are so pure and christ like.

My great weekend!

This weekend was so much fun. Friday was great because I only had one class. Then I went to work. About two weeks ago I started nannying another family on top of the two I was already doing. Fridays are one of the days I watch this new family. Well sometimes the mom works from home on fridays. This new family has been somewhat difficult so the mom susan decided that fridays were going to fun days for me and kids. On friday I just sat with the Mom and hung out with her and kids and got paid. Woot Woot. We just chatted and did crafts with kids. It was great. Hopefully making fridays fun days the kids will like me better.

After work I did some homework. So thats not too exciting. Then I went to the bees game with kurtis and our friends Denver and Tricia. Then we went to my hosue and watched boy meets world. What a fun date night?

Saturday I did more homework then went on a big group date. 8 couples. We have dinner at Denver's house and then went to Toad's and played laser tag and Go carts. I actually took 5th in the game of laser tag. Thats really good for me. I usually take last. I was excited. When you go to toads and purchase a certain package you get money for the arcade. Kurtis and I always play deal or no deal. We love that game and get really excited over it. Ha ha yes we are nerds. After Toads we watched part of the Hawaii vs Weber game. Weber was doing well the first half and then the second half wasn't so great. It would have been to see Weber win to a ranked school. This was a great date night as well. It was fun to have such a big group. I felt like I was back in the days of high school.

Sunday was a great day too. Today was fast sunday. Fast sunday's always seem to be special days. I am usually more in tune with the spirit. Today I prepared for my lesson thats in two weeks. Its on the plan of Salvation. Luckily I have had two good lessons in institute by Brother Schwab. This really helped me prepare my lesson. There is so much to the plan of salvation. Its really kinda over whelming. I haven't really understood all of it unti this past year because of institute. Now I get to teach it to my relief society girls. Hopefully they can understand it more too.

I love weekends. I can't wait next weekend. It should be a great one too. This friday is the homecoming dance. Now normally it would be kinda stupid for me to be excited for a college formal dance. But hey how often to get to be a in a pretty dress. Plus then I can at least say I went to college dance. Then on saturday is the football game. I think we have a chance at winning.

Boy Meets World

He is so cute! I would so marry him. ha ha

Kurtis thinks topanga is hott

Boy Meets world is my all time favorite show. I still watch the show and love it. I have seen the episodes so many times and still laugh my head off. Corey and shawn always make me laugh. If I am having a bad day that show will always cheer me up. I remember watching it on TGIF on friday nights. Then it went to cable. We didn't have cable at the time. Everytime I was at my grandma's house I would check to see if it was on. My senior year we got dish network and got a dvr. So I would record the episodes and watch them on abc family or disney. The sad day came when they took Boy meets world off abc family and disney channel. Seriously I was so depressed. I wanted to cry. Then I found all seven seasons online. I watch them daily pretty much. The best part of that show and Kurtis loves it too. We both love it. Thats usually how we end our night together is watching an episode of Boy meets world. We don't like alot of the same shows but hey we love this one. We also watch full house too. Yes we love those ninties shows. Hey then they had good television.

I think my favorite person is Mr. Feeny. He is smart and good at most things including art. I also love topanga. I always said I wanted to name one of my kids topanga. O cory he is my favorite and shawn too. Aww heck I love them all.
