Hello Out There

Wow it has been way to long since I last wrote on here. Things in our world are getting better day by day. I am still unemployed and as of today November 18th 2010 I am a College Graduate with my Associates in Medical Assisting. I loved school and look forward to going back for my RN. We moved from Kaysville to West Valley about a month ago and it has been a good decision. Saving money on gas for sure and the boys are loving it. We are closer to family and friends. The house is nice and there is room for all our kids. We have Chelsea and Kosy every other weekend and plan to start taking them once a week for dinner and homework time as well. Jon is working two jobs still to support the family, He is AMAZING and we are lucky to have him.

This Thanksgiving I am cooking my first feast for my mother, grandmother, Jon and kids. My brother may stop by as well. I am very excited to spend this holiday as a family with all our kids and my family. I love this time of year and wish it did not go so fast.

I will try to write more often. Happy Holidays!!

Best 4th of July Weekend Ever !!!!

July 4th 2010 was the best holiday weekend we have had as a whole family.

Friday I picked up Chelsea and Kody from their moms and picked Bubba up from his dads and we headed out to my friend Heather's 30th birthday party in Tooele. Jon had to work all night so I took the kids with me. It was nice to see her. The kids and I stayed for a few hours then headed home to get ready for the next few days. Our weekend was packed. Chelsea and I went and bought festive shirts for the family. Jon and Bubba matched, Tristan and Kody then Chelsea and I. The kids were not thrilled but they all wore them to please me. Jon actually hated his shirt and went to get a new one, Chelsea and I bought matching flip flops as well. I love them.

Saturday we went to my father in laws and BBQ'd, hung with family and the kids played on the slip n slide. They had a great time. Then we headed to Kiera's to watch fireworks, that was a great time. Sunday we went boating with Becca and Ben at Willard bay. Although we are all a bit fried it was a great time. I was able to get up on the wake board once, the kids went ton the tubes and enjoyed that. Monday we went to Becca's and hung out with my mom and grandma then headed to Layton surf and swim. To end the weekend Bubba, Tristan and I went to watch the Layton fireworks in the back of the truck.

I love spending time with family and I love my little family. Jon and my kids are my world. It really was a great time and I am looking forward to many more good times.

20 more weeks

I just finished my 5th term at school with a 3.89 GPA. I only have 20 more weeks.
It has gone by so fast, I am nervous by the time my externship arrives I will forget everything. I am excited for Graduation May 2011. I want my kids to see that school is worth it and I want them to be proud of me.

I want to eventually become a nurse and help children. People say I am crazy, but I love kids and I love helping people so i think this will be a great job for me. I will let you know when and where my graduation is and I hope to see you all there.

Whats on my mind?

Wow it has been a while since I last wrote on here.

May 21st my adorable little niece Karissa Lynne Guymon was born. It was a Beautiful day filled with love. I look forward to spoiling her and being her "favorite" Auntie!! My brother Colton in Idaho found out he is having a baby girl in October and I cant wait to see him become a father. He is a great kid and I know he will be a GREAT Father.

The visitation with Kody and Chelsea is going well. It is for sure a change for all of us and will take some time to get used to each other, But I have faith that with time it will be great and our family will be strong and full of love. (There is no shortage of love)

The kids will be out of school this Friday and I am not looking forward to it at all. For the main reason I have no idea what to do with Tristan while I am in school or what to do for entertainment for three months. I think we are going to try and plan a lot of camping trips, fishing trips, days at the park, a trip to cedar City and Idaho. I will figure it out for sure. We plan on lots of BBQ's with family for sure. Family is number one for us and we love hanging out with all of them .

Jon and I have almost been married a year, I am so excited to get to that day and celebrate our love.

Having all these new little babies around me is making me really want to look into how Jon and I can add one more to our family. I spoke to my Dr yesterday and he gave me a few numbers of some Dr's that will be able to help and give us all the information we need on the options we have. I am not getting any younger and nor is Jon. I would like to plan on having a new addition by the time I am 38 if at all possible.

I failed on my weight loss plan but hope now that my surgery is done I will start feeling better and can find the motivation to do what I need to do to get to the weight I want.

We are all healthy and doing well. I will write again soon.

Love Always-Jon, Tray, Austin, Chelsea, Kody and Tristan~~

Whats New

Wow it has been a while sine I have written. So far 2010 is treating us well (knock on wood) with just a few bumps here and there. We now have my step children every other weekend and that has been great. Although stressful at times I love being together as a family. Austin turned 13 on March 15th, I can not believe my baby is now a teenager. He is so grown up. Tristan is now 9 and doing great. His top 2 teeth that have been gone for so long are now growing in finally. We had a praty for each boy and they had a great time. I will put pictures up of the last few months soon as well.

For my birthday I spent it with my family and had a great time, had a make over and my sweet hubby gave me a gift card for my hair to be done. I love it.

I am doing great in school, been on the Deans list for 2 terms and hope to be again this term. I graduate November 18, 2010 and can not wait. Such a exciting accomplishment.

Jon is still working 2 jobs to provide for our family. I miss him but I know one day he will not have to work as much and it will all be worth it. He is enjoying having the kids and being with the family as a whole now. We have things to tweek here and there but I know it will all work out and we will get through all the rough patches together!


My sister in law is having a baby in June and I am so excited to have a little baby to play with and spoil. I hope to be her FAVORITE Auntie!!

We are planning on moving back to Salt Lake by the end of the summer. As much as I do not want to leave my new friends here in Kaysville I know it is the best thing for our family in the long run. Well that is all I can think of for now. I will try to write once a month from here on.

Happy Spring

New Years Eve Pictures

On new years eve the boys, Jon and I hung out watched movies and ate junk till midnight. Tristan had never seen the ball drop so we woke him up at 5 to midnight watched the ball drop, made noise on the front porch and then made a toast with sparkling cider. It was a great way to bring in the new year. I am looking forward to what will come this year. Here are some pics of our night. I will write again soon.

Goodbye 2009 Hello 2010

This past year was one of many heartaches and struggles, There were a few Amazing things that came out of 2009 as well.

March was a tough month, We lost my sister in law Crystal on The 18th, She left behind 3 beautiful kids that are being well taken care of. They miss her dearly and we will never let them forget her. We love you Crystal.
I lost my job on March 30th because I stood my ground. Although it has been a struggle I would not change a thing about the choice I made that day. I am now in school for medical assisting and hope to one day become a nurse. I am enjoying being home for my boys as well.

Jon and I were married in August, This was the best day of my life (next to the birth of my son Austin) It was small and simple. We were married at my father in laws in the backyard. It was beautiful.

In July jon was able to start seeing his two youngest kids for an hour every sunday, It was so neat to see him so happy. Now we see them every Sunday for 7 hours and starting in january we will get to have them every other weekend.

November also brought sadness when the father of Shy, Tristan and Cass passed away. These kids have been through so much in such a short amount of time. I hope that they will always know how much they are loved and that we will always be here for them no matter what.

For the holidays we had Austin, Tristan, Chelsea and Kody. It was the best Christmas in a few years thats for sure. We were very blessed this holiday season by several Angels, I wish I knew who all of them were so I could thank each one of them personally. Because of them we were able to do much more than we ever thought possible. Thank you and we love you all!!

I know there were many other things that went on in 2009 but these were the ones that stuck out. I am looking forward to a new year and many more wonderful memories.
Stay tuned for monthly updates.



Some fun things to look forward to in 2010:

March: Canyonlands Half Marathon (Jon and I will run with my sister and sister in law, Austin will be running the 10k with grandma)

May or June: Kiera and Todd will be adding a new little addition to their family

All year: We will have the kids every other weekend

Jennifer, HEC and Brittni will all have babies for me to spoil as well



Love The Woottons!!!

Tristan was baptized today 12/12/09

Uncle Todd gave the opening prayer, Aunt Tracey gave the talk on baptism, Jason Robbions gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and Shyanne gave the closing prayer. It was a very special day for our family and Tristan loved every minute of it. I know that Brian and Crystal were there with us all today and are so very proud of their son. I hope that we can continue to make them proud and show Tristan the right road in life. Thank you to all of you that made it out in the weather and Thank you for all the calls and messages as well.

Love The Wootton, Dalzin, Campbell Family !!

Big Surprize !!!

Today was a great day for Jon, my in laws, Austin, Tristan and myself. As many know we have not seen Jon's kids for almost 3 years. We found out on Thursday that we would now see them every Sunday 10am-5pm and then on Christmas Day 1pm-7pm. We wanted to tell the family in a special way so we had everyone up for a Holiday party with the impression we had a special announcement. I had guesses of I am pregnant, we were moving or we had the kids. I told anyone that asked they were wrong and they would find out soon enough. Today was a great day and everyone was so very excited.

Babe,

I love you with all of my heart and it means the world to me to see you whole again. I am looking forward to having our family complete and building new memories together.

Love.
Your Honey

Halloween 2009

On Halloween tristan and I went to Kieras to go trick or treating with all the kids. They had a good time and got too much candy. Jon was able to get out of work early and join us for both fun events last month.







We went to my father in laws on the 29th of October to carve pumpkins, It was a great time. Here are some pictures of the great day. I did not get a chance to take any pictures of them lite up.

Cedar City Trip

Jon, Austin, Tristan and I took a weekend trip to Cedar City this last weekend to see our other family: Malou, Justin, Ky bug and Jaiger Noah. It was a great time. Went by way to fast.







We arrived about 8pm Friday night to some big hugs. Saturday the boys all went fishing and Malou and I sat in our PJ's till 1pm drinking beer and visiting, It was much needed. It had been almost 2 years since we were out there last. Way to long. That night we had a birthday party for Anna and April, everyone had a great time. The boys played till all hours of the night and the adults visited and enjoyed the good times.





Sunday morning I got up to attend baby Jaigers blessing, He looked so damn cute, cried the whole time the blessing was given. We all went to breakfast after wards then went home to get ready to head home. Although it was a short trip it was worth it to get away just for a few days. It was nice to see Tristan laughing and having a good time, Jon was enjoying himself and Austin was talked to by every adult about how smart he is and what a good kid he is. I love my Cedar Family and am so thankful to have them all in our lives. Thank you for a great time, We miss you and love you all!!!

New Month

It has been a while since I wrote last. Nothing real new in our world. Jon and I have been married almost 2 months and I love being married! We have alot going on the next few months of course with birthdays and holidays. Kody will be 11 October 5th we got him a bike, Jon was very excited to give it to him today. Shelby will be 17 on the 13th, My Sis Becca will have a birthday on the 7th, My Sis in law Kiera will be another year older on the 26th. We plan on having cake and celebrating my other Sis in law Crystals birthday on the 19th with cake, Tristan asked if we could so we will. Not sure what the boys will be this year. Tristan wants to be a zombie of sorts and Austin I have no idea. We are going to see my dear friend Malinda and her new little man this next weekend the 9th-11th. I am so excited, I used to go out there ALL the time and now it has been over a year since I have been out that way. They are my second family out there. It is looking like we may not have the boys with us after all so it may be a nice get away for Jon and I, Lord knows we need it. I have looked into feeding the homeless for the holidays, I hope we as a family will be able to volunteer. I want our kids to learn the real meaning of the holidays and learn to appreciate things more, I think it will be good for Jon and I as well. I have a Cd of the wedding with some BEAUTIFUL pictures, I am in the process of going through 702 to decide what ones I want to have edited and then printed. I will have them up soon. I am doing well in school still and know it will all be worth it in the end. Jon is working 2 jobs to make sure things are taken care of and he is getting exhausted. I am hoping after the new year things will be better and he can slow down. I am trying to think of something I can do at home to make some extra cash. I am sure we have "junk" around the house I can sale on KSL or something as well. Everything is heading the the right direction. We hope to have the kids back in our lives on a regular basis after the new year as well. Please keep your fingers crossed. Until next month, We love you all!!

Fun Things

Some fun things in our world right now... Austin started 7th grade (he is not my baby anymore) he is doing well so far, He wants to play the drums in band and is working hard to get to that goal. Tristan started 3rd grade and loves being in school, I signed up to read with his classsmates every Thursday for an hour, Today was my first day and I loved it, The kids are so cute and love to talk. Tristan is so excited to have me there, he was all grins telling everyone I was his Aunt. I have started my 2nd term in school, This one is a bit tough and I will be very busy along with the boys. I am taking Internal Anatomy, Structual Anatomy and Front office procedures. So far I am liking it just hope I can keep up the good grades this term. Jon is working 2 jobs to take care of his family (One of the thousand reasons I love him). Although there are days I feel worthless and guilty that he is working so much, Jon always reminds me we are a team and although I am not bringing in money right now I am taking care of our boys and making sure they have all they need. I never thought I would be able to handle being a stay at home mom and I really never thought I would ever have the chance to do it. I have worked for 16 years and not working is wierd to me. However being here for the boys to make breakfast, take them to school, help with homework, volunteer and so much more has been so rewarding and I wish I could have done this when Austin was younger. Jon sees his kids every Sunday and is loving it, He is almost whole again and I love it. Although we still have a long road we can for sure see the light at the end of the tunnel alot better and we are taking it one day at a time for sure.

Thanks for stopping by...

Wow.. GPA 3.87

I do not think in all my younger years of school I was ever at a 3.87 GPA.
I worked so hard and made sure I was doing what I needed to get the grades. I am so excited for the future. I know it will be hard and I will have to push myself but it will be wortth it in the end. Come november 2010 I will graduate and be that much closer to my all time dream of becoming a pediatric nurse.

Our wedding day!

Friday August 14, 2009 was one of the best days of my life. This was the day I married my best friend.

I stayed at my sister in law Kiera's place the night before so we could get up and do hair and make up. We got up around 8am and then went to the mall and picked out some beautiful jewelry for the big day. I was not hungry but very thirsty. We went to hot dog on a stick and I had a lemonade while Kiera had a cheese dog. Kiera's friend Jazmin did my hair and make up, We went to her place at 11am and were there for a few hours. I left so happy with the results, I was so nervous and had butterflies all day long. We went and picked up the memorial roses for Jon's grandmothers, Mother and Sister and then flowers for the cake. I then went back to Kiera's and picked up all my things and headed to my Father in laws in Alpine where the ceremony was being held, as I drove there I met up with a friend Melissa to follow me and hang out. I cried on my way there just thinking about the fact I was getting married and I was so very Happy. I do not think I stopped smiling all day or night or even the whole weekend for that matter. It started to down pour and I was so worried the day would be ruined. My grandmother and mother were already at the house when we arrived. It was a joke getting into the house due to the down pouring. I was set up in the basement to get ready. I had to rewrite my vows and just hang out. Austin cried when he first saw me, it was so Sweet. He looked so handsome. While I was getting ready I had my family and friends to visit and hang out with me. Then it was time, Mom, Becca and I got my dress on and Heather took lots of great pictures before the wedding and as I was getting ready.

As Austin and I were getting ready to walk out we found out my brother was almost there so we waited. Once he arrived the ceremony started. I was so excited to see who was all there and to see Jon at the end of that isle. Austin cried as he walked me down and all I could do was smile, Once I was up with Jon I could do nothing but stare into his eyes and smile. The bishop began the ceremony and all I could hear was click click click. There were cameras going off all over the place. After the bishop was done with the ceremony Jon and I read each other our vows and then kissed as husband and wife. Jon was emotional and had the most amazing vows ever. Once we walked down the isle we hugged all our guests, cut cake and took lots of pictures. I am so excited to see ALL the photos everyone took. After everyone left we loaded up our jeep and dropped Austin off then went to the after party at Mixed Emotions. It was so fun, we danced, threw my bouquet and Jon threw the garter. Kiera and Todd caught them so they are next to have the big day. I loved this day and can not believe how fast it went. I am glad I did not spend thousands of dollars on something that is over that fast. Although there were many people that could not be there I know they were thinking of us and we were thinking of them. It was the best day of my life and I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with my best friend!!!

Thank you to all our family and friends for making this such a AMAZING day!!!!!


I love you babe... Tracey A Wootton

Happy 90th Grandma

This past weekend was full of family and fun. My grandma turned 90 on Sunday July 12th. We had dinner on Saturday at a very nice place in Salt Lake The Paris. My 3 aunts and uncle were all here along with some of the adult grand kids. Some of the family here I have not seen in well over 15 years if not more. I will admit I was a bit nervous because we are not a very close close family and we are all so different. Who knew how great it would be. There were so many memories and tears shared that night. My grandma had a great time and was so happy to have her family there. My sister in law made this amazing video of my grandmothers life from birth to now. It was a tear jerker for sure. Sunday was the actual birthday, this was the party with everyone young and old. many more memories, tears and laughs were shared as well. We have pictures to remember this day for years to come. I was mad at myself however for sending Austin off to Vegas and not having him here for this. it was so much fun to see my family and see my grandmas smile. I look forward to 10 years from now when we are celebrating 100 years!! I love you grandma-Thank you for being you!!

My Theme Song

Right now I love this song, It reminds me things will get better and nothing is impossible!! To listen you will need to scroll down and mute our music player!!

12 lbs and LOTS of inches!!!

Today was the 4th weigh in. So far after 4 weeks I have lost 12lbs and lots of inches. I wish the weight was leaving as much and the inches are. I know I am doing good just starting to get a bit discouraged. I want to be the pretty bride on my wedding day and right now I am not feeling all that pretty. I just need to keep on pushing and I know by September 19th I will be where I want to be and I will look AMAZING walking down that isle to marry the man of my dreams!!

My Grandmother

My grandmother Marion Raish will be 90 years old on July 12th.
Although she was not your typical grandmother that would bake and always dote over her grandkids she would always remember your birthday. I do not remember a year she has missed in my 35 years. She has always lived in california up until about 4 years ago when she got ill while in Greece with my mom. She is now in Utah and it has been fun to have family get togethers with her and watch her enjoy the grandkids. One memory I have of my grandmother is when she came and stayed with us after my moms breast cancer reconstructive surgery. I had a test of all the countys in Utah and she studied with me. I remember sitting at the table for hours with her and I passed the test. I hope we have her around for many more years. She is a very smart woman and has alot to offer.


Happ 90th Grandma!!

I took these pictures from my sister in laws blog!! She does amazing work. heathernanphotography

Austin Graduated from 6th grade!!!

Austin is now done with 6th grade and will be in 7th grade next year. I found myself very emotional as I attended the graduation ceremony they had. I can not believe my little boy is becoming a teenager. I want him to succeed and do whatever his heart desires. I hope he follows the good path. The pictures are of Austin and his great 6th grade teachers and then some friends and of course I made him take one with me. He then wanted to spend the day with me so we went to Olive garden to have lunch. He told me I better enjoy spending time with him while it lasts. Made me sad again. I miss the cute cuddly little boy. I miss the kid that would do anything mom asked. I am dreading the teenage years but looking forward to seeing what he will become!
