Thanksgiving
I have no pictures! Shaylar had the kids this holiday up in Show Low which left me solo. Ha ha it rhymes. Of course I had Brinley. It really was weird letting them go; I know Shaylar is the father and all but its still wierd. ya know? Anyway Keith and Charayye drove to Utah to be with her fam for the holiday which left mom, dad and me by oursleves. My Uncle Eric and his sweet girlfriend Kelly came to the rescue and we had a delicious dinner over there. Some of the Crocker Clan was there and it was great to see everyone. But get this.... when I drove to Payson to pick them up Easton had a full on mohawk! It was cute but also stupid. Plus Shaylar decided to get this huge tattoo that covers most of his upper back and of course the kids saw it. so disappointing !! I don't know I'm just venting I guess. Its really hard to try and teach your kids how to make good choices when there are other influences in their lives. I'm not worried they are good kids. I don't care if he reads this its my blog now. oooooooh I sound so bitter but I'm not :) really. Any thoughts or advice?

Hey Rachel! Check your facebook. I tried to add you, you just need to confirm. Don't know what to say about Shaylar. I find it really troubling and feel badly for all who are involved. Keep on doing what you are doing. Your kids will look to you for your good example and will honor and respect you for it. By the way, I read your sister's blog and I am so happy for her! What a blessing that she has been able to keep those sweet babies in this long! What little miracles they are!
Hey Rach - I called the other day but didn't get you. I am glad to hear your doing better. I come on yours and Truly's blogs like everyday waiting to see if those babies have come... When they do, will you post about it? I'm sure Tru wont be albe to for a while. We all need to get together and have some fun. OH GUESS WHAT. Christopher is getting MARRIED! Yeah, can you believe it? I will call you later and tell you about it. Love you. Trina
WELLLLLLL, first I must say, the mohawk sounds so dang funny to me at least! I can picture mom wigging out LOL
Uh, women with no kids = no advice. sorry.
Although I do think no matter what choices your kids make later in life, I will always love them because if they trust family and feel loved unconditionally they'll always fins their way back, right???? Or at least have a good relationship with you- which is sooooo key!!
About the tattoo. No one should be surprised. We all knew he was going to get one, right? So no biggie there. He didn't proudly show off his tattoo to the kids. Mom said something about Taylor seeing it on accident...which, to me, is a much better situation than the alternative.
Hey I have a quote on my blog you should use it...it's good for anyone really. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Suess
And I just want to saY I LOVE YOU!! You're a great example of what a mom should be and I'm so glad your my role model
Rachel,I hope you don't mind me reading your blog. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. If your children see the Rachel I grew up with, they are going to be just fine. Oh, and they are sooo cute.
Well Sweetheart, This may seem odd that I'm going to give you my advice since you live here and can just ask, but I wanted to respond to this. I've come to the point that I sincerely feel compassion for Shaylar. He continues to make choices contrary to what he was taught and knows is right. I hope he finds his way back. It's really sad, actually, that your kids will be subjected to his choices, at least for as long as his choices go against what you're trying to teach. It really killed Dad and I that the kids spent Thanksgiving in their old house with his GIRLFRIEND living there. How wrong was that? That was MOMMY's house. Oh, and then Easton gets his new haircut and Tay sees the tattoo. Can't imagine what's next. I'm sure if he reads these comments he'll think we're all being so ridiculous. Now for the REAL advice...Keep on doing what you're doing. You're awesome. You're doing what's right. You're my hero. You will be blessed.
Here's an add on: Hmmmmmm...I guess what I'm trying to say is that this whole situation is so unfair to the kids. They are so innocent and their world has been shattered. It's all SO confusing and terribly unfair. You're doing a great job of dealing with the kids, Rach. We're here to help you turn this devastingly negative situation into something positive, and I think you're all doing amazingly well under the circumstances. LOVE YOU GIRL
I love you!!!!!!!
Kids are amazingly resilient and smart. They will pick up what is right. I have watched 3 little ones for the last 11 years in a divorce situation. Try to stay positive. Love you and miss you.
I understand everything. You are an amazing girl. :)
There is nothing to write other than your Rachel and for the past 18 years i have thought about you and your beautiful family constantly. You and your family were amazing then and with them there for you and you being the beautiful Miss Rachel Crocker who i adore - You and your kids are cherished to have each other.
Your Aussie Friend Kim xoxox
Truly, little Truly with Twins - Oh how time flies.. CONGRATULATIONS xoxox
