Tagged!

So I got "tagged" by my sister Alisa--thanks!

10 years ago I was... a Senior in High School living in Florida with my aunt, uncle, and cousins so excited to graduate and to go to BYU!

5 things on my 'to do' list today: Well this is for tomorrow now, it should've been done today but I had a meeting for Primary so not too much got accomplished at home.
1. Change Adam's sheets and put on a plastic cover over his mattress as he still has pee pee accidents.
2. Do my never ending laundry.
3. Mop my floors.
4. Call insurance company on monday about the bill I received for Logan's birth that I just got a few weeks ago and he's almost 18 months!
5. Do the dishes.

Things I would do if I became a billionaire:

1. Pay off all my debts--student loans.
2. Take a needed vacation to somewhere cool that I've never been.
3. Buy a new car for me and buy my husband the Jeep I promised he'd be able to buy "one day" back when we sold his Jeep when I was pregnant with Adam.
4. Save/invest

3 of my bad habits: Great now you will all know them!

1. Not making my bed (yes embarrassing, I wish it bugged me more, but with all my goals I'm working on this year that one didn't make the list).
2. Not always doing my dishes after dinner and leaving the dishes in the sink until morning.
3. Sleeping in! Gotta get my sleep! My husband jokes I am neither a morning or a night person (I can get grumpy at night) but I always stay up way too late.

5 Places I've lived:

1. California
2. Washington State
3. Bolivia
4. Florida
5. Utah
....only 5?....and Arizona, and Texas

5 jobs I've had:

1. Janitor for OBGYN office
2. Worked like 3 months at Kash 'n Karry (grocery store) in Tampa as a checker--loved that one:(
3. Zuka Juice at BYU campus (embarrassing when everyone you know sees you)
4. Cafeteria at BYU (food prep) had to get like 1000 hours for my major in Dietetics--too bad I never graduated!
5. ATSI--worked as a receptionist for almost 2 years after I got married, they trained fighter pilots. And I met John McCain there, at the time more people liked him and some of the guys who worked there served in the Air Force with him so they got him to come visit one time and so I shook his hand.

Things most people don't know about me:

1.I was so shy as a child my 1st grade teacher asked my mom if I was deaf--I still am shy but it's not as bad as when I was a kid.
2. I was a chubby little girl and my sister Alisa tried to get me to run with her. In 7th grade I tried out for the Softball team and didn't make it, that summer I started running and lost weight and also grew out of my chubbiness. The next year I made the team (I really wasn't very good) and continued to run. The year after that I did Cross Country and chose to do Track instead of Softball. Due to all I went through being overweight, that is what drove me to major in Dietetics. I didn't want other girls to have to go through what I went through and I loved learning about nutrition. However, when I get to go back to school now I'd like to change my major, I've long thought to nursing, but now I'm not sure.
3. I am a HUGE worrier, although those who know me already know that.

Now I tag: (sorry)

Pictures

Wow! 2 posts in one day--it's a GINOS world record!!!!

Here are some pictures I've been wanting to post (I found my cord--after I said a prayer to find it:)):

This is Adam's room and his "new" bunkbed. We got it from a neighbor, it's cute and we just got the bedding from Target. Wanted to hold out for Pottery Barn kids outlet, but we kept taking trips down there and not finding what we wanted and didn't want to wait. That is a desk on the right side of the bed. Adam just loves his new bed and Logan thinks it is a play place or something.

Think he liked the chocolate?

Logan with just SOME of his Bears

Adam had to get in on it eventhough he usually couldn't care less about stuffed animals. Alisa, see what I mean about his hair? He got the Parker cowlick.

I Love My Kids

I just have to say I love my boys. They are so funny and cute. I know everyone feels that way about their kids and that's a good thing. Adam just says such funny things and Logan is so cute. He has been learning so many more words and just to hear him say things is so much fun! Logan absolutely LOVES stuffed animals, but especially bears, he giggles when he gets his bears and says, "beeah!" Adam loves Logan and says, "Yogan is my best friend!" I hope they can always be friends. Oh and my FAVORITE from Adam, "Adam why is your shirt off?" His response, "Because that's what Anakin do's." That's as in Anakin Skywalker, not sure when he doesn't have a shirt on?!

That's not to say that they don't drive me crazy sometimes or to paint a picture that they are perfect b/c that's not the case as most you know. ie. Adam setting off the alarm at church one sunday after church and the fire department had to come and the ward after us had to evacuate, or when he makes faces during primary at his friend behind him, or stands up during sacrament meeting b/c he can't see (there are a lot from church), or when my counselor in primary and also in the preschool group tells me her son always has something to tell her about Adam whether it's good or bad (made me feel great), and I could go on and on, but I still love my boys and am so grateful for them. Sorry to go on, I just was thinking this when my husband was out of town and I thought what would I being doing right now if I didn't have my kids? and I was happy they were there to keep me company.

So I haven't posted in awhile I know, I wanted to post some pictures but I can't find the dang cord for my camera, hopefully we can find that soon. Yesterday Billy and I went and saw the 2nd National Treasure. It was fine, nothing to write home about, basically the same as the first but not as good. It was nice to get out together though since we don't do it too often.

After church and dinner today, Billy informed me he wanted a treat. I looked in Betty Crocker and found a chocolate cake that was decent calorie wise and I just made it with whole wheat, I added a tiny bit less sugar and oil. I thought it was pretty good. He said he didn't think it was sweet enough. But, I did notice he and Adam ate plenty. I needed something sweet and it hit the spot.
