Going Private

So we are going to go private. I have had my eyes open the last week to the access that others have to our family blog and pictures on here. I will add all of our friends and family and anyone else who is a friend of a friend etc. I love to blog surf and look at others blogs, but it scares me that some creepy person has totally acess to our family. Traffic watch is a helpful tool to let you know who is on your blog. Leave me your email on the comments and I will give you acess. I have to approve all of my comments so anyone who leaves their email address I will not publish your comment. Or you can email them to me at gregersenclocks@hotmail.com

First Soccer Game of the Year 11:00 a.m. still to HOT for the parents.


Sawyer Marie playing soccer



Yesterday was Sawyer Marie's first soccer game. Her team color is navy blue. She is on TEAM # 5. And lucky us they play every Sat. at 11:00 a.m. Just as it is starting to get nice and hot. I thought I was going to melt sitting there watching the kids play soccer. I am not sure how it doesn't effect them like it does us old people. Sawyer's team scored 3 goals and the other team scored 1. They do not keep score for winners sake, but we did!!! YEAH for the Navy Blue team. Sawyer was the goalie for the last of the game and did a great job. She has her friend Jace and Zach on her team and that is fun for her. Joseph, the little boy that I babysit is also on her team. They love going to practice together. Half way through the game she got kicked in the leg and was upset, so the coach told her to sit down for a minute. A few minutes latter he came over and told me she had taken her shirt off and said she was done. I sent Mike over to talk to her.....he told her that she needed to get back in a play. She was mad because it wasn't fair that kids got to kick each other and didn't get in trouble for it. I guess we need to explain soccer to her a little bit better. LOL!!! I tell you this girl keeps us on our toes. Austin and Blake got their soccer pictures taken yesterday also. As soon as I get them I will post them on here. I am going to try and call Dylan today and get an update one what he is up to. He is a great kid and we miss him a lot. Can't wait until Thanksgiving.!!!!!

For being able to be a part of a group of women with the same values that I have and how we support and help each other on a daily bases. I am over whelmed with the love that my brother Jesus Christ has for me, that he would die for me and take away all my sins if I am willing to repent. He has done this for each and everyone of us who have come to this earth. What a wonderful and beautiful gift. I know that I am also blessed to be sealed to my parents in the temple for time and all eternity and I look forward to the day I get to go with dear and sweet husband Michael to be sealed. I know that Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of us and all we have to do is come to him and ask for his guidance and he will be there with open arms. All we have to do is ask. I am blessed with so many things is this life that I am grateful for my family, my membership in this church, my dear friends, and the chance I have to share what I know with others. I want all my family and friends to know that I love them and pray for each of you often. I am so blessed to have you as strong and wonderful examples in my life and to my kids. I know this church is true and say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Another trip to the dentist. NO, I am not kidding!


So after all the dentist trauma of last week we thought we had it made. No more trips to the dentist for Sawyer until her next cleaning. Right? Wrong! Tuesday night she came and showed me this little bump on her gum above her top left tooth which was loose and going to fall out anytime in the next 2 weeks. She had an abcest on her tooth. Now you might aske me how I knew for sure she had one???? Well On Monday mornig the cute little boy I babysit had to go to the dentist for the same thing. Same tooth, same looking bump, etc..... Only thing is Joseph likes the dentist and this is not the end of the world to him. So yesterday morning we went to Mesquite this time to Virgin Valley Dental. Crystal, Joseph's mom ref. us there. This place was so much better. They were nicer on my wallet and they handle Sawyer a lot better then the place in Las Vegas. To make a long story short Sawyer Bug had to have both of her front teeth pulled!!!! WHen she was little she has this white caps put on her teeth because I wouldn't let them put silver ones on her. Her body in a way was rejecting the caps and that is what caused this problem. I just want to know who we went from her finally liking the dentist, having no cavities, and looking forward to going back to her next cleaning to this. The lesson I have learned from this is that the dentist is a very important member of my family now. He needs to be sent Christmas and birthday cards. I want him to love us and welcome us into his office everytime we have to go. Life is so much easier when Sawyer is happy....and when you find a dentist that makes her happy and she likes, then I plan on keeping him in our good graces. The only thing that had her upset after we left was that she thought she ugly because she didn't have her two front teeth. All was better when we got to school and Mrs. Cameron and she told her how beautiful she was. Thanks Mrs. Cameron you totally saved the day. Sawyer you are still just as beautiful as you were before they pulled the teeth and you are beautiful now. Daddy and Mommy love you very much!

Fundraising Fun for the TWINS



Last night we got the cutest phone call from Austin and Blake. They wanted to know if we would buy some wrapping paper and chocolates from them. Their school is holding a fundraising event which as we all know is to raise money for their school. Austin and Blake are really excited about this. They can win prizes according to how many items they sell. Please do not feel any pressure, but if you would like to support them in their little salesman adventures please visit www.sallyfoster.com and look around for something you might want to buy. If you find something you want and would like to help support our two little guys let me know. There is no taxes added to the price. Double check with me on the prices as somethings might be cheaper and I can find the correct price. Sorry we do not have a catalogue. Check will need to be made out to Nothside Elementary and I will need them by Oct. 2nd to get them to the boys by the 6th. ( They live in Colorado with their mother for those who do not know)Thanks to everyone who supports our boys. They love and miss everyone. They can't wait to be back out here for Thanksgiving.

School Pictures


Sawyer Bug with little butterflies......she looks so little with them.



Today Sawyer got her school pictures done. I really wanted to do her hair in cute little butterflies, but she did not like that idea. She wanted my friend Gerilyn to do her hair in teenage curls. Yes, TEENAGE curls!!!!! She is 5 going on 16. Sawyer has it in her little mind that I do not know how to do hair so she took it upon herself to ask Gerilyn to curl her hair for this big day. I have to admit that she looked adorable and I am so grateful to Gerilyn for doing this for me. Sawyer is the type if she isn't happy with her hair she would not smile for the camera. I am excited to get the pictures back. We will also be getting school pictures of Dylan, Austin, and Blake. I just have to wait until they get them to order them. I am excited to see thiers. The boys are loving school. They get so excited on the phone when they tell us about it. They seem to really love all the art projects and they love their teachers. We sure do love and miss those 3 boys. Can't wait until Thanksgiving to see them.


Sawyer with TEENAGE curls

I have to say she looks darn cute......just to grown-up for MY good! Thanks again Geriyln for helping save picture day.
