About me

This is my blog. Just to prove to my kids that I am trying to keep up with them. I am Mama Reay and I live in Springville, Utah. Surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains. In my beautiful home with my surrounded by family . I'm fortunate to still have two of my kids living at home. My husband Kelly and I have 5 kids. I love to paint and sew, I love people around me, and to keep busy. I am a David Archutleta, and a Donny Osmond Fan. I love my Friends and I adore my family and feel like I am the luckiest person in the world. My Parents live right up the canyon from me and I keep pretty involved in their lives, they are still going strong and they are two people I totally admire and look up to. They are GIANTS. My sister Pam is my best friend and we try to keep each other grounded. Between the two of us it's a roller coaster with our kids. I have great brothers, They are all such studs I really love them, especially the one who lives so close, because it's always the best plan, to live close to your sister. A huge part of my life is my faith, it's a daily part of my life. It blesses me and I feel so fortunate to know what I know and to be able to live it every day. I thank the Lord for That.
My oldest daughter Aubrey is living 10 minutes away in Provo, and she is busy with her life and her dog, Marley. She's 27...WOW. She has big plans for this year. Hopefully I can help her achieve some success. She is a such a pretty young lady. She has so much to give this world.
Sean is my 2nd child. He is trying to find his mark in life. The economy isn't helping thisngs at all. He and his beautiful wife Haley, live in the cutest little house here in Springville, with their 2 dogs and the cutest , best little baby ever. His Name is Porter and he is 20 months and he really is so good although he does have alot of energy, like his Dad. I just love being so close so I can see him lots and try to spoil him as much as I can. Sean is 25 and he is so much fun to be around...never a dull moment, He seems to get better looking with age.
My 3rd Daughter and I are close and she has decided to take off for 6-8 months to Europe and serve the people in Russia, teaching them English and have some of those learning experiences that we all need. She will have so much fun, she has great adventures planned. She's a great person, has alot going for her, I am so proud of her and what she's acomplished, she deserves a break. Dena is 20 and has been working hard for this oppurtunity, she's going with some really good friends, I hope it's everything she wants and more. She will be sorely missed. I honestly don't know what I am going to do without her, we do everything together, butI will survive. This one is a beauty.
My4th is Weston, he is 18 and a Senior in High School, he's not really into school and the social scene, although he has lots of friends and he is quite a character. He is a great kid though, sometimes I have to look pretty hard to find. (teenagers?) He'll be just fine though, he has a good heart. Hopefully in May he will be putting in his papers for his mission. We are very proud of him for that and know it's just what he needs. He used to have the long wavy hair, now he shaves it off ... all I can say is that he has great hair and he is very handsome.
Mybaby, the 5th is quite a character as well, I sware he was born in the wrong Era and he's only 15. He loves the Beatles (but then who doesn't?). He is a trivia buff. He can quote a movie, a comedian or a TV show just like that, he keeps the conversations lively. He used to be my shadow and now he is always just looking for things to do and places to go. He is so good looking and has the prettiest hair, so curley. His goal is Anapolis... he is so clean, and organized, neat kid. I love him.
I forgot to talk about my biggest Kid, my husband, Kelly. He keeps things alive around here, never a serious moment. He just had surgury on his right rotator cuff and he is totally out of commission for a few months. That just adds to my responsibilities, now I have to snow blow the yard and the driveway early in the morning. No Fun. And we have had lots of snow this year. Oh well, he is a wonderful Man and I am blessed.
With all these great kids and my husband my life keeps pretty busy and I can't complain. I dread the day when they are all out of the house. Hopefully they won't live too far away. I love them all so much. they are my life. The life of 'Mama Reay'. Thanks for logging on... Love Laura
