1. Add a comment on my blog about one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot just do anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play, suit yourself.

Sting!
On July 19th, I was stung not by a bee but by The Police and Sting of course. What an Awesome event!!!! I went to the concert with MY lovely wife Jessica and our friends the Gibbons, When Roxanne was sung of course Roxanne went nuts, Sting did an awesome job on that song. Other greats were Wrapped around your finger, don't stand so close to me and king of Pain! All were awesome, I stood most of the time and was hoarse when I got back to the hotel.
Sting did awesome on all of the songs. I of course liked Message in a bottle which opened the show and Every Breathe you Take was unbelievable to me. Sting has got some lungs on him and can really belt it out, he also is very creative in the way he will sing a song. He was a true artist, and he was very brillant, amazing, awesome, wonderful. I'm running out of adjectives. The drummer (Stewart Copeland) almost stole the show, he was amazing. He had nearly a dozen different percussion instruments besides his drums that he was clanking and plunking the whole time. He even had a huge gong. Stewart was running and pounding those drums with such force but it sounded so awesome. The guitarist (Andy Summers) was also incredible. He played with little effort and to stay with Sting as he added his little rifts and changes to the songs he did an excellent job.
The Hotel we stayed at was a disaster, never stay at an extended stay hotel! "holy s***" I should of stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. The king Bed was nice because I didn't fight with Jessica about the room on the bed. Dinner was wendy's, it could have been worse!! but, breakfast was okay, I have had my yearly visit to I-hop. WOW! Anyway I am home and I am still rocking out in my mind with Sting and the Boys. I am glad I went.

New house new dog
It seems as a new home owner that the next thing to get is a dog, I guess in our case that is. We promised the boys years ago if we were to get a house with a backyard we would get a dog. So now we have a house with a fenced back yard and so now we get a dog. Kramer is the newest member of the family and he has been fun.
Kramer was a dog we adopted from Petsmart adoptions on Saturday. Kramer came in with all these barking, nipping, noisy and crazy looking dogs. Kramer was quiet and did not bark. He has barked maybe 4 or 5 times since we had him. We need a doggy door for the mudroom to the backyard, but has been fun, It freaked me out the first time he put that cold nose on me in the early hours of the morning.
So I guess i'm a pet owner and it has been fun and I really enjoy it for now.

The Man Trip
The man trip is the annual trip to Blind Lake on the Boulder Moiuntains in Southern Utah. My family has been going for 17 years now. My dad is the reason we keep going, he started it all.
The man trip means no girls, and thank goodness for that. they would never want to go back and we would have to fight like heck to go back ourselves. Trajan my nine year old who made his first journey on the man trip said" All we did around the fire was burp and fart!" He made his mark just as much as anyone else. This year was mild compared when we eat Mutton for one of the meals.
This years one liner was "La Quinta Spanish for_____________!" My Brother Austin led the assault with that phrase there was some really funny ones that he kept on saying. Some of them were La Quinta Spanish for Bumpy Roads, or this stuff smells like s**t.
Over all the trip was awesome, my waders had a hole in the buttocks and I had a wet Butt two of the three days, there is nothing worse than a wet Butt. At one time I just got back on the shore and I was changing and Trajan got a bite and I was helping him real in the fish half naked, I am so glad my Dad didn't have his camera for that one.

My new House
It's nearly official, I will be a home owner! I never thought this day would happen. I was surprised when my credit score came out good and that my income was enough to buy this house.
Jessica is so excited! She can't wait! The boys love the house and are really excited to get in it. I love the walk-in-closet and the backyard, oh the Hot Tub is nice as well.
It seems that the planets have lined up at just the right time, to get me this house! I have been so blessed and it almost seems not true. I guess I need to stop thinking that nothing good ever happens to me and that I can have a house or whatever and not feel guilty or not worthy. So for now I am going to enjoy the moment!

My Kids!!!
Life comes at you Fast!?
With Memorial day past and gone, I am left reflecting on a couple of things. July 2nd is my birthday and it is also the birthday of Curt (Father-in-law). This day is also imporant because it is the day that Simon Mitchell Littlefield was born as a stillborn. Simon never made it into this world and he never shared a day in the sun or ever jumped on the trampoline or ever got a kiss good night from his Mom and Dad. Yet Simon lives on, he is a special spirit, he completed his earthly mission in life. He received his body. He has blessed my life with his own. You see when I found Simon had died, it came at a time I was struggling with my beliefs, (those who know me may find that hard to believe) I was struggling and I was tested everyday on my faith. This moment in my life came as a blessing to me and it has helped me strive to be a better person. I have no doubt in my mind that Simon is working with his Heavenly Father and one of his jobs is to watch over me.
In July of 2006, Anderson Littlefield a son and Stillborn entered into our lives. He was buried side by side of Simon and He once again showed me something very important. He showed me Heavenly Father has a plan and he loves all his children and some children have special work to do. Anderson is one along Simon. Those boys are going two by two teaching every nation, kindred and tongue, to those spirits that await there final judgement. I can see them as poweful forces teaching those that need the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love my Simon and Anderson! They will always be a part of me.
After Anderson was born some genetic testing was done with Jessica and the test showed that she had a rare blood clotting disorder. This disorder is bad in pregnancy. In fact a successful birth can happen 22% of the time. I am glad that I have two kids that overcame that 22% odds. These are Trajan and Jacksen! 22% is what was overcome by these two boys. They are special boys and they equally balance out my family.
Trajan has swallowed a Penny Twice! Jacksen has broke his arm falling off the tramp. Trajan is very gifted at music and baseball. Jacksen is gifted at numbers and time keeping, as well as whatever sport he puts his mind too. Jacksen is very good putting puzzles together, good for a kid who apparently has ADHD. Trajan is great at spelling and is like a sponge soaking in and wringing out information at any given time.
Braxton and Caleb are two special boys who came to our house via the Foster Care Network. Caleb came first and he has called me dad and Jessica mom from day one. Caleb has really grown into our family and when he has on Jacksen's hand me down clothes on he looks and acts like a part of the family. He is and I view him as nothing less than a part of my family. Braxton is going to be my wrestler and line backer in Football. He is so strong and Stout! He has developed into a great son and I love to hear him call me Dad! Braxton and Caleb are Littlefield's and in October they will be officially.
So my Family! most of the time there is alot of disorder and chaos but amongest the rubble you find a family of parents and children that have faced adversity head on and has survived and continues to survive. Jessica is the one that really holds my family together, If I ever make it to the Celestial kingdom it will be by her coat tails. She is a great example of a true believer in Jesus Christ. Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for a sweet spirit that leads me carefully by the hand. Thanks Jessica for all you do! I love you!
May god shine upon you and each of you in your everyday lives. Because to me the sun is shining brightly!

Are You Ever Going to Update Your Blog?
After numerous days/weeks of bugging from Jessica, I decided to update my blog!
The Happenings:
House hunting is a complete nightmare! I had the impression it was like going to McDonalds and ordering what you want from the menu and then drive up, Pay, then Enjoy. (all but the enjoy part for McDonalds) Anyway my idea? Well did I ever learn quick!
After looking, making an offer, counter offer, going through a home and loving it, I am still at square one. Now our broker wants another meeting to go over a best offer meeting because there are multiple offers on the table. (BS) but I am meeting again with the Broker and now I don't even know if I have a chance at the home. I am not enjoying this and I guess I don't know any better!!!
Kids:
The kids are very trunky with school- they can't wait for it to end. I keep wishing there was another 3-4 months. I am sure it will be a fun summer for Jessica with 4 boys running all over the place and house hunting, moving if we ever find a house to buy that we like. Trajan is good, we went to Prince Caspian the other day and I thought he enjoyed it, It was not as good as the first one I thought. Jacksen is still Jacksen, or should I say Hurricane Jack season has just begun! Braxton is adapting and getting over his anger issues now its I am going to the mailbox (I'll be right back, it's okay don't cry!) He has some seperation issues but we are working through them. He still is cute! Caleb is going through some Athesma issues, medicine has started but hopefully he will get over his barking!
Work:
Work is very busy and I am running and I am running now so got to go. Stay tuned for more stuff from the life of Mitchy the kid!!!
