8 things you may not know about me...


1) I enjoy vacuuming. I guess that is a good thing since I have to do it at least once a day and sometimes even twice a day!

2) When eating a meal the food can not touch; mashed potatoes have their place, corn theirs, etc. And the worst is with hot and cold foods...that's a big No-NO.

3) When I sleep I always have to be covered. Even if it is hot I still need at least a sheet or light blanket.

4)When going over railroad tracks I still lift my feet...yes, to this day and even while I am driving!!

5)I have always wanted to run a marathon/race/5k but never have taken the opportunity to do so, maybe because it will show me how out of shape I really am.

6) At night when I sleep I have to face outward (I am on the left side of the bed), except when M is out of town, then I have to sleep in the middle of the bed facing the door (which is on the right side).

7) I don't like raisins & jell-o not because of flavor but because of texture.

8) I have an obsession with toes, not so much that I like them but because mine are crooked (I use to curl them all of the time) and so I notice others to see if theirs are straight or crooked.

okey-dokey...Juli, Tamara, Angie & Andrea...what are your Quirks?

Rain, Rain...Go Away

Don't you just love the Spring? With it comes warmer weather, trees and flowers sprouting their first blossoms and of course rain...don't get me wrong, I love the rain, especially a thunderstorm. We have been is such a bad drought I am grateful for what we have been blessed with.



Yesterday after dinner we decided to let them enjoy the rain. Usually they just get to watch it from the window but not this time. No matter if the sun is shining or the rain is falling, Z & A LOVE to be outside.

True Colors

So I got these quizzes from my sister...for twins we couldn't be more different!!




You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

He Did It

Mike just finished his MBA program!! April 27th was the deadline for all assignments to be turned in. It has been a long road but he made it. He took a short break (1 month) between completing his Bachelors and starting his Masters program. Yeah I'd say he's a little crazy (ok, I am right there with him cause I encouraged it). No seriously, I am SOO proud of him. He has had to juggle working full time and traveling, as well as his responsibilities as 11 year old scout leader and the responsibilities for the Trek we are doing this year as a stake. Both he and I are the chairman responsible for "training" the Ma's & Pa's (which will be the Priest and Laurel aged youth). It has been fun! But to be able to take care of all this and still have time available for me and the kids, how ever did he do it?! We are going to take a trip to Chicago in July so he can walk with his graduating class:) WAY TO GO HONEY!!!

Summer Fun...already

Can you believe our community pool has been open for two weeks now?! CRAZY:) Of course we had to take advantage of it. The weather seems to work out perfectly to go every Friday, so that has become our "swim day." The weather was GREAT but the water was FREEZING!! It didn't phase Z and A but I could barely keep my feet in the H2O. (We have a large pool and another that is 1 ft. deep for the little ones). I always say that my kids really should have been fish...they would live in the H2O if they could!

Life is the Bubbles

The simplest of things bring the most JOY. What is it about bubbles that kids enjoy?! No matter the kind; Z and A LOVE bubbles.

Whether they are found in the bathtub....

or blowing in the air.
Reminds me of what we are always told..."become as a little CHILD." They know what life is about, they see things as they are. They see US for who we are! Isn't it our main goal to become like our Heavenly Father? No wonder children are the utmost and greatest example of how we can become more like Him and our Savior and what we are truly striving for:)
