WOW...I haven't been on here in such a long time. I think it took me a few tries to even remember my password. LOL.

I'm not really sure how to start this so I guess I will just dive right in. Mont and I made a decision to leave Las Vegas for the benefit of our kids. We saw that there was so much more for them to do here and our family was in need of our friends and family here. We have had so many amazing events and many scary ones as well but, in the thick of it all we have definitely prevailed.

WOW...

Mont and Carla: Mont and I will have been married on March 22, 2011 for 15 years and to be honest I am so happy to say that although we are not currently together we are still best friends and our children will always come first. Mont and I co-own a company called MACE Making All Companies Extraordinary. MACE helps our healthcare providers stay in compliance with the DEA and Federal code of regulations 21 while working with the DEA. Its taken a long time for us to get here but we have made it and have no intentions of going away. I am so grateful for the love that Mont has for our children and for me. his patience and understanding is amazing and at times undeserving but none the less I will always love him. I make no promises as to what may come of this but I know that GOD is right by my side and we will be ok.

Ciera Jade Hardcastle: Is living in Connecticut with her partner Sandra and loves it there. They have just bought a older home closer to Hartford and they are looking forward to having wonderful memories in their new place. Ciera is in a management position with McDonalds and I cant believe that every time I talk to her she is moving up again and again. I'm so proud of her. Her amazing smile and will to keep clean and move forward is amazing and I envy her drive that she has for life. Sandra is a teacher at a local college and loves Ciera with all her heart I know many people have judged their age differences and I have too but, they are in love and they are happy and that is all I can ask for my beautiful daughter.

Hailee Bernice Hardcastle: Hailee is in 6th grade and going to college next year (she thinks). Hailee is a singer oh my goodness can that girl sing, write lyrics, and SING SING SING. If shes in the bathroom shes singing in the kitchen shes singing, in the car in the shower outside by the pool you cant get her to stop and its truly her life. Hailee Bug is my Blonde Blue eyed little Bird. Hailee is doing awesome in school and loves to just be a girl and she is definitely a girly girl. Her Best friend is Claire, in which Connery is madley in love with. Her favorite thing to do right now is SING. She wants to be a singer one day. We are working at finding her some studio time so she can sing to her hearts content.

Connery Aaron Hardcastle: Oh my Connery...what a lady killer..WOW..go to his school and all the girls are like..who needs justin Beiber they have Connery. Its so dang cute and I love watching him blush. The innocence is awesome. Connery recently broke his his first bone (the humerous) he was so excited about it. im not sure I was laughing because he was so excited or if I was having a mommy moment because my little guy broke his arm. He was so great though, he's all "MOM, dont worry about it it dosent even hurt look" (as hes lifting it up and down...OUCH) Connery wants to do break dancin right now for the moment but he is my flighty one Im not quite sure week to week what he wants to do. Either way we try to make it happen...Connery Aaron I love you.

Hunter Clinton Hardcastle: Hunter is still our quite and very emotional little man. He leaves you alone and likes to be by himself. We can leavge and he will ask to stay. Hunter loves his Legos and loves to play on his IPOD. He can download tons of games and loves to see what each one does and how it works and when the nest one is commin out. Hunter is my best friend and he swears to this day that he will live at home till I am ready for him to have a job and move out. but he also swears that he will buy me a home wherever he lives and if that in 50 states then ill have a home in all 50..LOL We have a saying in our house "Hunter can do no wrong" I hope that is always the truth because he is the apitamy of innocence.

I want you all to know how much we love you all and miss you so dearly. My wish for you all in life is that Life will be your wonderful fairy tale and that the Lord will always bless you with happiness, patience, and always with love.

We love you all

Working on Life

Ok so I have been very very very bad at writting on our blog and keeping everbody updated....ssssooooo here we go.....Ciera moved back to Las Vegas for a short period of time and allthough she loved it there she took a turn in her life that brought her back home to the arms of Mom....Yes, everything is ok. Hailee is doing great and has SAS like you wouldnt believe. it's actually quite funny if you ask me, she like Andrew right now a boy in her class that if you ask her is the cutest guy in the world, she wants to wear high heels and make up....yes, we are watching her close as far as school though she is hitting the books and doing a wonderful job...A's and B's....and missing Las Vegas. Connery is doing great with school and loving our house that we are renting its on 1 acre and has forts, woods and rivers everywhere...a boys true dream, Connery is like a little man always taking care of mom and always watching out for his family. Hunter is feeling a bit blue lately but hangin in there he has been a bit under the weather....he loves his legos and loves school. He is happy about being in school all day instead of just half days. Then theres mont and I we are doing much better and want to thank all our friends and family for all your support and kindness we are so grateful for all of you...Well I promise I am going to try to get better at this and do more but for now, We are the HARDCASTLES and our lives will always be an adventure.

Time goes by....

This has been a tough month for me....for those that don't know Ciera moved back to Las Vegas to continue her schooling and enter into the Army.....OK, when your baby informs you that not only is she going to change her address, open her wings and fly but she is also going to go change her dream of flying in the Air Force and become an MP (Military Police) in the Army. Oh yeah I cried for a few days and then realized that time goes by so fast.......it was just yesterday that my little angel was looking up at me in the University of Utah Hospital with these amazing blue eyes.......laughing and giggling each time she would push her little legs across the floor and slide in her walker....she was asking me to hold her hand to go to kindergarten.....helping me with her little sister Hailee when I couldn't sleep ( that was not fun HEHE).....its goes on forever and ever and then you start to ask yourself if you were a good enough parent to her.....did you raise her to the best of your ability and did you ever and I mean ever say I LOVE YOU enough. Well, I think I did OK. I went to see my mom today and she had the answer for me and well, Ciera...................................................................................I LOVE YOU, SUGAR.

New Life in Utah

WOW!!! What a crazy few years and now...........were back, happy and doing great. We have been so happy here and love being back. Its green and beautiful and full of things to do. We have fishing every weekend, seeing family, and hanging out with friends. We love you all and miss you all in Vegas but, dont miss the heat.

Your gonna miss this.

Dear Mom,

You have done a great job and I will always be your baby girl. I have never told you thank you for being my mom, you could have left me like many other moms have done with their kids. But you loved me enough to keep me and make it work with you and me. I wish I could thank you enough.
We have had some good times and you have watched me grow and time has flown by for you and me. Mostly you but for me it has dragged just a little bit. Before you knew it I was 18 and getting ready to leave, but inbetween that time we have had good times and we have had bad times. It has been a long road and it is starting to come to a fork in the road. One comes to an end and the other road is just begining. I love you and I really apprciate everything that you have done for me and I will never forget what you have done for me. You have gone up to bat for me, and you have knocked me into my place when I was out of line, you gave me a shoulder to cry on and you held me close and just listened when I needed it most.

I love you and dont ever worrie I am always going to be a phone call away when I leave and you never have to worrie about me not being around. Thats why we have skype right...and instant messaging, and blogger. We have made many many memories and have many more. I love and the most I can think to say is thank you and I love you.

Sometimes it sucks having a computer smart daughter. Means I can get onto your blogger. But I love you and I will keep in touch. "Your gonna miss this, your gonna want this back."

"Tell my baby sister I will see her in the fall and tell grandma I miss her, yea I should give her a call, and make sure you tell daddy that I am still his baby girl. Yea I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be, don't forget to remember me."

MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH

Love, your daughter Ciera

Take a moment and Remember!!

I just wanted to take a moment and share my love for our Heavenly Father and remember the love he has for us and for our family. We seem to get so wrapped up in life that we forget what he has done for us and how much we owe him. We are not perfect by any means and we certainly are not asked to be. I am so grateful for what I have left in my life right now. We have climbed a few mountains and scaled a few walls for our marriage and for our kids but through it all we have always had our Lord by our sides and each and every time I knew as Mont knows that he has been there for us. We are so excited to be coming home we cant wait to see all our friends and family. Ciera, Hailee, Connery and Hunter are going crazy, Connery says we can live in a Motel for now and the others well they just don't care, they have missed everyone, as we have as well.

When we left a couple years ago we knew that it was time for us to leave and take a path of our own and find what we thought was missing and honestly it's kind of funny cause there wasn't anything missing, it was all right here in front of us the whole time all 4 of them right there. Our children are our lives and our marriage is what keeps us going. I love my husband and his strengths that he shows each day and what he has given to us by standing by us each day and doing his part to be a great man, husband and father (Just as our Heavenly Father would do).

I will miss the friends that I have made here in Las Vegas and wish I could take you all. You have all shown us just how much we can have and what we are worth. I will miss those smiling faces each week and we will miss your kindness and love but know that no matter where we are or you are we will always be close, Thank goodness for computers, huh.

Joey, Tom, Tyler and Sophie I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and will is you each day that I don't get to hold you and see you grow or call you just to swim or go to lunch or just bar-b-cue. You have been my sister since I can remember and for that my love I love you and will miss you dearly.

My Dear Sara, I love you with all my heart and I am grateful for your words of wisdom and look forward to years of a friendship that I will always be grateful for.

Heather, You are a strong and fearless woman and all though we don't talk all that much (only because we didn't get the chance) I want you to know I love you.

I am looking forward to the next 60 yrs and eternal life with my family and I cant wait to see my Mom and family and hold them again.

I am here to testify that he lives and I love him so much. Father in Heaven THANK YOU for what I been blessed with, you are my hero.

"Lot's to think about not much to worry about"

Were Coming Home!!!

Yes, I know you have all missed us all and weve missed you so well see you soon. LOL

We are looking for a house in Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain so if you know of any let us know. We will have more details for everyone later but, for now keep us in your prayers that all will fall in place and that we will get there soon.

We love you all
