4 Years Old

Connor Nathaniel Sizemore was born on Oct. 29, 2004 at 12:49 pm in Phoenix Arizona and he is the 3rd son of William A. Sizemore and Malinda Sizemore. It is hard to believe that my baby is 4 years old today and that we were living in Phoenix at the time he was born. Yes, we didn't live there to long, 4 months is the time we spent there, but Connor was born there, so that is something good that came out of Phoenix.

Connor is a wonderful son, well all 3 of my sons are, but each of them are different in their own way. Connor is a happy boy, well most of the time he is. He is starting to talk more and it is so wonderful to hear him talk. He loves to run and play with his 2 older brothers. Right now, he really loves Scooby Doo and he especially loves to watch the cartoon movies of Scooby Doo. Sometimes, you can catch him trying to repeat the words everyone is saying in the cartoon movies of Scooby Doo and it is really cute. He also loves to go for rides in the car and he has a routine he has to do when he gets into the van. First, he has to open the automatic door of the van, even though that is not where he sits in the van, Zach sits over there and then he locks the door from the inside, even though I can open the car with the car key. Second, he buckles the seat belt, without him in it and then he opens the garage. Then I open his door and he sits in his seat and then I buckle his seat belt with him in it. Then he has to shut the automatic door, with the car key. That is his routine and yes it is very weird, but hey Connor is a strange 4 year old. I hope you enjoy the pictures of Connor, that are shown above.

Time for Friendship Night

Last night, I had Friendship night again and I even made Banana Bread and this was the first time that I have ever made bread and I guess it turned out okay. It tasted pretty good, but it didn't look so great. Anyway, I was looking forward to it, like I always do, but only 3 people came, so I was a little disappointed, but I knew some people couldn't make it. One of them brought their daughter, who is 10, so there were 4 people that came. Anyway, I asked everyone to bring a list of 20-30 things about themselves and I thought it was really cool to hear things about others. I thought I would put my list up here, but I could of come up with more things then 30 things, so here is the list.

1. Open my pictures folder

2. Go to the sixth folder

3. Open the sixth picture

The picture is above.

Well, the story of this picture was taken July 25, 2007, when we were on vacation in Dillon CO. My parents own a time share there and it was are turn to use it. Gayle, Brian and their kids were also there, they stayed in another time share. It was at night, as you can see Connor has his PJ's on and Zach also has his PJ's on. Ethan is in the back ground playing Nintendo DS and Will is watching something on TV. We were just relaxing and having a wonderful time in Dillon CO. I tag Tonya.

My Journal

I am so excited, I have been writing in my Journal for 8 days straight and I haven't done that for several years. Let me explain why. Back in Oct. 2000, I found out I was pregnant, but it ended up being a ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy, so I had to have emergency surgery and they had to take my left tube out. I was devastated and I didn't feel like writing in my Journal all that much anymore. I heard that women who have had Ectopic Pregnancies don't have any more children, but some women do have more children. I was scared to have more children, but I had Zach and Connor after that happened to me.

The Journal that I have now, I started on Dec. 24, 2000 and it is now Oct. 15, 2008. The reason for that is, sometimes I would go on for months without writing in my Journal, but I hope I can continue to write in it everyday now. I got my first Journal May 4, 1984, so I was 11 years old and it was the Father Daughter party at Church. The Journal I am on now, is # 22 and it is great to have a Journal. Sometimes I go back and reread my Journals to see what I was doing way back when and it is fun to do, well most of the time it is.

I've Been Tagged Again

Tonya tagged me again, but hey that is okay this is lots of fun. This time it is a book tag. I need to find a book, I got "Tangled Roots", well it is the last book I read. I need to go to page 56 and the 5th sentence on the page. Here is the sentence "She took a sip of her chamomile tea and forced herself to be more forthcoming than she usually was." I don't really care who does this tag.

On another note, this in regards to the first 2 books before "Tangled Roots" by G.G. Vandagriff. I was at a used bookstore last week and I found the 2nd book, "Of Deadly Descent" and I got it for $8.50 and I was so very happy that I found it. Then I was at DeseretBook on Saturday. I was there for Ladies Night, they always do that during Priesthood Session during Conference and this was my first year doing it and it was fun. I was just looking at books for along time and then I came across "Cankered Roots" and I was so excited because this is the first book in the series, so I had to buy it. Just wanted to share all this.

I Have Been Tagged

My friend Tonya has tagged me and this is my first time being tagged. The tag is what was I doing 20, 10, 5 and 1 year ago. Well here it goes and I looked in my Journals to see what I was doing.
20 years ago- I was living in Simi Valley CA and I was in the 10th grade at Royal High School. I was only at that school for 3 months. We moved to Ramona CA in the beginning of Dec. 1988. I was happy to move, I wasn't very happy living in Simi, but I did make a few good friends there, that I still keep in contact with to this day. I also was of dating age, but I didn't go on any dates in Simi Valley, except when we did a Laurel/Priest activity, where we got in a group of 4 at each table and I didn't do much talking at all, so I don't know if that counts. I didn't really go on any dates, until after High School.

10 years ago- We were living in Cedar City and we only had Ethan and we were living in a duplex. We learned Ethan had diabetes at the end of March of that year-1998. Ethan was a happy kid for the most part.

5 years ago- We were still living in Cedar City and we had Ethan and Zach. We were living in our first home, that we bought in 1999. Ethan was in first grade and playing Soccer for the first time and he still plays soccer, it is his favorite sport. Will was finishing up school for his Education degree and I was looking forward to moving out of Cedar City, I wasn't very happy in Cedar.

1 year ago- Still living in Cedar City, but living in a different house. Have all 3 boys and a dog. All of my family was at Sandra's for Thanksgiving, which was lots of fun. Dixie, our dog, died after we got back from Thanksgiving, we had to put her down and it was really sad.

Yesterday- Will and I had our appointments with the Chiropractor and then we went to the grocery store. Watched a few of my favorite shows, "Heroes" and CSI:Miami". last night.

I am not sure how many people to tag, I don't have many blogs that I follow, so here it goes. I of course tag all 3 of my sisters, Ginger and my cousins Alice, Ashley and Monika.
