I first want to start by saying thank you to my Heavenly Father who has carried me through this last year of Major triumphs and tribulations. I have had to reevaluate not only who I was but who I had become in the process. I am happy to report that things are going well.
Many of you may know that after 15 yrs of marriage, my divorce was final on July 1, 2011. All though Mont and I are "dating" at this time we share an amazing friendship that will last forever, our children have both of us in their lives and that is all I can ask for. My children's patience with me has far more then astounded me, they have been loving, kind, patient and above all understanding. I couldn't ask for more beautiful and wonderful children.
In our new lives we spend our days looking forward to new days and living in the moment in the one that is in front of us. Nothing makes sense right now but we know that in the end it all will and we know that everything happens for a reason.
Ciera is living in CT and doing wonderful she is still with McDonald's, attending college, and lives with her partner Sandra. I cant believe that my first born, my baby girl has come so far and overcome so much (OK maybe I can, she is stubborn) I am so proud of Ciera Jade and know that her grandmother "Julie" would be as well. Ciera has made such an adorable place for herself and Sandra in CT, she has pigs, chickens, goats and a million other farm animals that she tells me about weekly. We try often o get on skype but seem to always miss each other. Her hair is long and as always she is beautiful. Ciera does have facebook so please look fro her and say hi :)
Hailee....OH MY HAILEE....miss Hailee has recently decided to go by Zoey a name in which I had wanted to call her by when she was born, so this year in school she is going by Zoey. Its actually very funny because when I go to get her from school I forget that she goes by Zoey so I check her out as Hailee Hardcastle and they have to ask me who she is :). "Zoey" is doing much better this semester she is in a class that helps her get her work done before she gets home from school and she seems to really like it. Now if we can get her to like the classes we will be in heaven. Zoey has more friends then me and my friend combined together, it doesn't matter where we go theres always a "Zoey" being hollered down the hall or isle of a store. Hailee loves to sing and is amazing at it this year she got the SOLO part in her Christmas choir we were so proud her that both Mont and I still cry at her singing. Her voice is like a heaven of angels singing and no matter what she is doing if I hear her voice theres nothing else that bothers me...

Connery is doing really good in school and is doing great in scouts. He is excited for his camp out in February that they get to go on and cant wait he is working hard to get all the qualifications done for it. Connery has become very into air soft guns and football his goal is to become a quarter back and he is going to start football this summer. Connery loves music and riding his bike. We are lucky to have him here as he was hit by a car this last summer, we are so grateful that the lord allowed him stay here with us longer. Connery is my little "MAN OF THE HOUSE" he likes to help me and take care of me, sometimes I have to remind him that I am the Mom and in charge (I suppose that has been since he was born). His newest look is his hair..he wants it to be shaggy and I have most definitely had to work out deals with him to keep it somewhat nice. Connery is a ray of hope for me every day and a reminder of how short life could be. I love my son and admire him as well....he rocks :)
Then theres Hunter, my train conductor, swat guy and fireman....depending on the day he is also my Lego builder. Hunters sweet spirit keeps us balanced and aware, he smiles, cuddles and loves everyone. He still has that little guy about him that I hope I can keep for a little longer. My biggest fear is loosing them as children. Hunter is pretty easy he does well in school, cuddles his mom and loves his daddy, hunter is a lover definalty not a fighter but learning as his older brother finds it amusing to continually harass him into unconsciousness. Hunter loves trains and is completely and 100% sure that his life is going to revolve around them. He will spend hours upon hours looking at them online and can tell you anything you want to know or could ever need to know. He is definalty a wealth of knowledge when it comes to trains, but in the end he is still my little guy :)
Then theres MOMMA....what can I say I run a tight ship and find time for myself.....HOLD UP GO BACK did I say find time for me....LOL LOL LOL no I meant if I find time for me, I enjoy a pedi now and then a good night out with the girls. I have found no interest in dating at this time as I am perfectly content just where I'm at....maybe later but, for now I'm OK. My life revolves around my kids and my new business...."Pretty n Pink Power Washing" I don't much time for anything else maybe a shower here and there and if I'm lucky a good full meal....LOL...but I cant complain I am grateful for the ward that my Heavenly Father has brought me and my family to and I am grateful for what I have achieved in the last several months...I look forward to getting recommend back and cant wait for the day that we can all go together....for now we are happy and content and for that I thank you Lord. I will be working harder to update and continue to be more active in my blogging....I love you all
Love
The Hardcastle Family
