Well look at this!! Kortney decided to take a pink PERMANENT marker and color her leg in!! she came to me saying she was sorry, and that she wont do it again but this went from your thigh down to her toes. there was lines, dots, swirls, everything ha ha it as funny! but note to everyone out there...... i used a magic eraser on her whole leg and in one spot it burned her it made a mark on her leg and it is still getting better but in just one spot it was weird and i felt horrible...

************Time for the Little Family Update!*************
For our little family everything seems to be getting back together. Kortney and I are so happy and getting happier every day. Kortney: Is still in her Pre-Pre-School and loving every time she goes because she gets to bring her pack pack with her, she is still in daycare and loves to go to there as well to play with all her little friends and her teachers she just loves. Me: On the other hand have been out of work for some time about 2-3 months and have been juggling the idea of going back to school to be a nurse, but I keep think to myself of all that comes with it and i just don't know if i am ready for 4 more years of school it is for sure something that I am going to keep in my head and make a 100% decision on it but not right now. I recently got a job at another Fantastic Sam's but right down the street to my house witch will be so much easier, It is only part time but more room to improve so I am very excited and cant wait. I want to give out my thanks to my big family:
Brooks, Brianne, Conner: I want to thank you for always being there for me when I needed someone to hang out with. Brooks you are the biggest pest but I would not want anyone else to bug me but you in a million years I love ya LITTLE brother, Brianne your the sister I never had and i am so glad brooks brought you into our family or i would have gone crazy by now, you are always there when i need just a little more help with my life. Conner Aunt NENE loves you.
Colby, Camie, and Carlie: I know the roads have been thick and we all have had our problems in life but i am glad that we are all moving forward together as a family like we all should be, Colby you are my BIG brother and i love that i have such a great example to look up to for my life of how i want to be and who i would love to marry when i am asked what kind of guy would i want to marry i always say "give me someone like my big brother and i will be the most luckiest girl in the world." Camie, you are such a lucky girl to have my brother i know things have been tough but i am glad that you are apart of our family so that we can get to know the real you i am glad we are moving forward with life and getting to know each other. Carlie, my little thunder thighs i love ya.
Mom and Dad/Nana and Papa: i don't know what to say to you 2 because no words can put into how i feel for you guys. Mom you are always there when i need someone to yell at and i am sorry i take my problems and frustrations out on you but i know that you can take it and tell me how to over come everything in a positive way. You are the mom that i cant wait to be in the future i love you so much mom and thank you for everything, i wish i could have my daughter back but she is so in love with her Nana and wants to be connected to her hip thank you. Dad you are the biggest teddy bear and i cant believe anyone is afraid of you. I know that i can come to you when i need some help with a problem or just need someone to vent to and you will just sit there and hear me out and watch me cry but in the end you give me the look that don't worry i am here and we will get through this i thank you from the bottom of my heart. i don't know who kortney would turn to if you were not here either way to much stuff breaks in our house that there would be no one to fix it!! we love you dad/papa your the best.
For the rest of the clan: Thank you so much for being apart of Kortney and I's life you are the best family that everyone is so jealous that i have. you are caring and would help at the drop of a hat. Thank you again and i love you all.
Love always,
Whitney and Kortney

Tracy Lawrence concert

2008-11-16T21:38:00.000-08:00

On Friday November 14, 2008 wow i went to the westerner with tami brandon and myself to see none other than

Tracy Lawrence

he is my favorite singer of all time and i love him. so we get to the westerner at 6 because my wonderful (sister) tami forgot to buy a ticket haha so we had to get one at the door so we were there waiting in line in the cold weather brandon no jacket tami so freaking excited and i just wanted to see tracy... so when we get in we are sitting around waiting tami and i start line dancing and we look at the time and its only 8 when we thought he was suppose to come on and we were starving so we decided to leave and come back at 10 when he said he would be there!! so we went to carles jr and had a drink and fries and then went back and made it great time and i was making sure i got a great spot what spot are you asking oh well i was right next to the stage.

i touched his belly, touched his tummy oh and lets not foreget his BUTT oh ya.... i stood up there all alone because they didnt get up there in enough time so i was screaming and dancing all alone and i got some things from his a SWEAT RAG, GUITAR PICK, AUTOGRAPH, jelouse i would be!!!

gas prices

2008-11-13T09:35:00.000-08:00

can you believe the gas prices and they are still going down all fingers crossed!!!

update for November

2008-11-12T12:07:00.000-08:00

well it is time again to update what is going 0n with me and my dear Kortney lee!.
Kortney- she is 3 going on 21! she has this little attitude with everyone when she does not get something or is trying to explain what she wants when y0ur just not getting the right picture! she is still in a special class in the Jordan Valley Development Center and doing really great trying new words everyday she comes back i wish the class was long but who knows. she is so excited for who is coming soon :SANTA: and is already making your list. she goes through the magazines with her Nana almost every night showing her what she wants even sometimes circles them for when Nana looks at them so she knows (just like her mom does!)
Whitney- i am currently still unemployed and really sad about it but you have to understand that finding a hairstylist job is not like finding any other job. you find the job, give the resume to them, wait to hear from them if not call them and the answer has been "we are not hiring right now but we will keep your resume on file" or " we only have part time" and if you do get a interview you have to find a model to give a hair cut on and if they like your hair cut then you get the interview so that is life in the hairstylist world. i have also decided that i am going to go back to school to be a nurse like my mommy and i am taking Brianne (best sister in the world) with me to school don't know how we are going to do it with needing to work and having kids but we have a great family and know if we take it one day at a time we can do. well that is all for now hope all is well for all you guys out there miss ya BYE BYE!!!....

NO MORE

BINKI
I have to say I am very proud of my self because i have been Strong and i have done the most hardest thing ever. Yes I took the binki away and i have to say it has been so wonderful. I love that i don't have to always be looking for one, tell her to take it out when i can't understand her talking, she just looked like she should not have one she is 3 years old i mean what was i thinking. I do have to say though that the nap time and night time have been tough but i am okay and i am standing Strong that's for sure! look at the smile and she tells everyone that she is a big girl and that her binki is all gone. i am so proud of her and i will stay Strong i know i can.

this funny little video is of kortney and her trying to sing sunshine all by herself and then i didnt have time for a hour video so she decided to say hi to everyone really cute only 13 seconds but super cute!!

First day of Preschool

2008-09-23T14:00:00.000-07:00

Every Tuesday at 2:00 pm Kortney goes to Preschool and is there for not long at all. Ever since Kortney was sick with the bacterial spinal menigitus the doctors said that the medication that she had to use would either effect her sight, hearing, speach. So far it has only effected her speach and she has been getting help with that. she is in the Jordan Valley Development Center program and i am so happy with the program because she is trying harder and wanting to do more words we are still not caught up yet but we are sure close to it. She has homework (i have homework) every week coloring, reading, word sounds to do every week and she loves it.

mean face

2008-09-17T10:56:00.000-07:00

this is kortney's mean face or so she thinks it is! her cousin conner has a mean and it is alot meaner but she tries her hardest to be mean.
this is her after face after trying to be mean and trying not to laugh... she has a very big personality you all are missing out....

poseing

2008-09-17T10:48:00.000-07:00

this is her always pose when she gets her picture taken by me. and when she is wanting to take your picture she makes you do the pose as well or your tongue out but the hand is ALWAYS by the face...

2008 fair

2008-09-12T10:01:00.000-07:00

This year at the fair was really warm and fun. This year it was Brooks, Brianne, Conner, Me, Kortney, Colby, Camie, Carlie at the fair it was so much fun. Kortney loves when Nana and Papa take her down the street to see the goats that someone has. at the fair she loves that she gets to be up close to them, pet them and hear the sounds they make are just so fun!. I love the fact that if she could pick a animal she would want a goat maybe thats what she should really be for halloween this year is a goat but yet again there is no face painting!. This year the "Grandparents" could not make it with all the kids because Nana was sick and Papa had to work really late but they were oh so very missed...

Kortney's Tonsils out

2008-09-04T11:00:00.000-07:00

Does this picture just not make you want to cry. On September 4, 2008 at 1:30p.m Kortney got her tonsils taken out at Primary Children's Hospital because she always was sick with strep throat, her tonsils and adenoids were so big. We got to Primaries at 11:00 am to check in and it took until 1:30 to get her back. I have to say it is so hard to let your child go with a complete stranger with a panic look in her face of fear that you will not come back. my mom and i went and got some lunch because the doctor and everyone said they would be 45min- 1 hour so we thought we were safe to go grab some lunch. we were gone maybe 25 mins and hurried back upstairs to wait and they said they have been looking for us for 10 mins and that Kortney was done and i can go back. as i was walking back to where she was with the nurse i could just hear the cry of my little baby in pain, as i rounded the corner i saw her and i just wanted to cry for her she looked in pain and they were giving her medication. my first words were can i hold her please? her nurse helped my into a chair because at this time i was still on crutches so i was not very movable! after everything was calm and she saw that i was there she was still crying but she was more worried i was going to touch her IV then the pain in her throat. but with in 15 mins she was out of recovery and in the ICU and was not crying until she heard the sweet voice of her Nana. she sat right up and was looking for her then once they locked eyes she started to cry again like "Nana can you believe what they did to me!" so when cartoons were on we could not get much juice in her but we did get 3 popsicles in her that was good i had to bite them off but one right after another. This whole time she would not sleep because of the fear someone was going to come in and do something to her. so we didn't get to leave until 3:00 and once we hit the car she was out, we didn't get home until 4:30 so it was a very long day. Once we got home she was ready to just sleep would not eat just sleep! everyone came over to see her but she was not much company until her uncle Colby came over and she knows that Colby=play. but it was not a long play she didn't have much in her. On September 11, 2008 we had to make a trip back up to Primary ER because Kortney was having a fever, not peeing, not eating, not drinking, nothing she just wanted to sleep. So me being a worrying mother i called and they said we need to see her please. so her we go at 6 pm up to Primaries to be check and everyone knows that a ER visit is not a in out thing its you come and stay for many hours. we didn't leave until 1 am. HOWEVER i am a very nice daughter and i thought oh since it is raining i will go get the car for my mother and sick child. i am walking out with everything and was doing really good until i fell. yes my feet swept from underneath me bent my bad knee all the way back and then a nice twist, not fun at all. so two really nice men helped me into the wheel chair i had put my mother in and she walked me out to the car and we didn't get home until 2am. WHAT A GREAT NIGHT, ONE TO REMEMBER!

(waiting to check in for surgery) (after check in, waiting to go back to room)

( in ICU recovering, nana gave her a soft zebra she would not let him go his name is strips)

Kortney in Princess gear!

2008-07-30T16:35:00.000-07:00

Most recent of Kortney 2008

2008-06-10T11:54:00.000-07:00

My future model/ future heart breaker

from little girl to big girl with just on haircut

2008-05-17T10:52:00.000-07:00

Kortney use to have long long hair but she would never let me do her hair and she would never let me brush her hair it was always in the way so me being the hairstylist/mommy i want to do her hair. so i cut it off!!!

it hurts to be so BEAUTIFUL

2007-02-01T13:03:00.000-08:00

Kortney knows what the true meaning of "beauty hurts" she hated when i put curlers in her hair. it is always "mommy ouch it hurts" i would say "oh knock it off!!" what a carrying mom! ha ha ha i miss these's little days. but like my mom says "you feed they grow."

hard day shopping with mom

2006-11-12T12:25:00.000-08:00

Kortney and I had to go shopping for food, and if you could not tell it was cold outside and it was near her nap time so Iguess i should have waited for her to take a nap first but this is so cute.. and growing so fast

kortneys first fair

2006-09-09T12:20:00.000-07:00

WOW!!! Kortney's first time at the fair and she is having so much fun talking to the goat who is trying to get her and the cow moooing at her! she loves animals and is still today asking Papa for a puppy. But you will never guess who bought her the dress she is whereing, her Papa he found it and knew he had to buy it for is little hunting princess!!
