Q & A:
1. What was I doing ten years ago? I was a sophomore at Alta! I LOVED highschool! Probably thinking about the only thing that existed in my world back then: Friends, cheerleading, and boys!
2. 5 things to do today? 5 things I've done today: went to H&M in New Jersey, changed diapers, took Ais to preschool, dragged my sleepy children to YW's activity while my husband went to his Stake Scouts competition 45 minutes away, and talked to another YW leader about how DRAMATIC girls are.
3. What snacks do I enjoy? I love Orville's SmartPop Popcorn, apples and cheese (like you Jade), and Wegmans' cinnamon swirl bread-toasted!
4. What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire? Give everyone in my family a million dollars, and then give a few million dollars to my bishop for him to divide up between the ward members that need help, pay for Carline in my ward (NICEST LADY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD) to go on a vacation, a fancy relaxing one to Hawaii, or on a cruise, donate money to American Idols' Idol Gives Back fundraiser for hungry children in US and Africa. Go visit every temple in the world, and all the other "Places I Want to Visit", so I can check them off my list.
Oh, and go shopping too!
5. 3 bad habits-
Going a little crazy in my head when I have whiny kids, not hanging my clothes up when I get undressed (I KNOW BRI, I admit it), and definitely going to bed WAY too late.
6. 5 jobs I've had
Juicetree--best highschool job ever, except for when Cortney Nelson told on me because I left work sick (I REALLY HAD CRAMPS CORT, I WASNT LYING) and then went to a party, and then got fired the next day. And then got re-hired when the boss that fired me got fired himself.
Convergys @ Utah State: Remember that Jode and Bev, oh the memories, my cowboy friend, our horseback riding hotties, and what was his name Bev?, so many wonderfully funny people!
Gap-- Southtowne Mall and Westport CT. loved the discount
Nanny in Connecticut--LOVED IT, best and worst job ever!
Designing homes--my current job! It's my passion!
7. 5 things people don't know about me-
a. I hate it when there is rain on the windshield and my HUSBAND doesn't turn the windshield-wiper speed up higher to keep up with the rain. HATE IT. (that was our argument for the day) PS Pennsylvania had the wettest February EVER, that's how much it's been raining.
b. I've been to 16 different countries outside the US, and can't get enough of it! I LOVE to travel.
c. When I was 18, I fell down a 9 foot window well while toilet-papering a few weeks after having open-heart surgery. I really thought my chest split open again, and I kinda blacked out while Liz all of a sudden had god-like powers and lifted me out all by herself. You should have seen the bruise on my leg, I did the splits going down, and one leg slammed against the edge. I still have scar tissue and a dent on one of my inner-thighs from it.
d. One of my dreams is to play the guitar around a campfire and have everyone sing along.
e. In college, we went to a frat party, and me being SUPER naive, I see this kid with an ice cube tray with Jello in it, and I thought it was the coolest thing. I ran up to him and said is that jello? That is the coolest way to make it. He said do you want some? Of course, ya, so he spooned some up for me, put it in my mouth, and it burned like CRAZY going down my throat. All I said was, Ow, that burns.......he said, oh ya, I put a little too much Vodka in it this time. WHAT?????
Apparently there is not a course on "jello shooters" or "yes there really are things called Alchohol and drugs, especially at parties, FRAT ones too"......WHOOPS!

Starbursts and Hannah Montana

A bed fit for a princess!- her bed in Vegas

So, I had to hurry and blog this before I forgot.
I LOVE me and Aislee's potty talk. While I'm waiting for her to go potty she usually will tell me something really nice, like how much she love's me, or just the other day she told me how much she missed Utah, and it's like she's trying so hard to have a grown up conversation with me.
So, tonight during our potty talk session, this is what she told me: (in a grown up way)
"Mom, today at preschool I told my friends that my Daddy really really really loves Starbursts. And Mom, I don't really like Starbursts, but I like Hannah Montana" (which she's never even seen). I said, Really? And she proceeded, "Ya, I do. Some girls like Starbursts Mom, and some girls don't. Is that weird that I don't like Starbursts?" And I told her no, some people just don't like Starbursts. That was the end of our potty talk session. As I was smiling so big and thinking these are the moments when being a Mom is so fun, I went down to tell Brian the latest, "Guess what Aislee just said" moment.
He of course, explained to me, that when she was saying Starbursts, she was meaning to say Star Wars. Apparently Aislee and her daddy have been having Star Wars conversations, and Aunt Jade gave us some Starburst candy before we left for PA, so she got them a little mixed up!
OKAY, that makes a little more sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (You might need to re-read what she told me!)
CUTE LITTLE GIRL!

Paris, Las Vegas

Brian and I got to stay in a suite in Vegas the night before we had to come back to PA! It was so fun, like a mini-anniversary vacation. We went to the Cravings buffet at the Mirage, our favorite because of the super nummy best ever Macaroons. MMMmmmmm. Oh, and Bri likes the Prime Rib! And the Bellagio was right across from our hotel, and the fountains are amazing!
The next morning, I got the cutest pictures of Easton and Aislee looking out the window enjoying the view, it entertained them for minutes!

DEFEAT!

Ummmm, probably the biggest accomplishment while visiting family for a couple days up in Salt Lake was...................well let's first talk about some other accomplishments before I reveal the #1.

I helped Ju and Mom complete the puzzle!

Got to FINALLY hold my little neice Olivia, and give Owey a BIG hug!
Aislee FINALLY got to show her cousins her Sleeping Beauty dress from Santa.
Kohey is so FREAKIN cute!

Keagan can play Nintendo, and can read?? WHAT? He's getting too big.
Went to my Shade conference with Linds, and I didn't even win a prize, but Linds did.
Had an old school Nintendo (yes, the FIRST Nintendo) competition with my brother in laws and Sisters.
Went to lunch with Mom and sisters and NO kids!~~~Thanks Dad!
Got to see my cute Grandma JoJo!

All the grandkids got to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks with Grandpa! (and Jill to help with potty breaks!)
And of course having the BEST family in the world is a HUGE accomplishment, so besides that fact.......

all the others set aside: The #1 accomplishment had to be:
I SAVED THE PRINCESS on NINTENDO: Here's the proof:!!!!

Best Buds

Keagan LOVES little Easton! He is so cute with him, and it makes me so happy, because being far away is hard, and I'm just glad that they know and love him so much. The fact that this is only the 4th time Keagan has ever seen little Easton makes me so incredibly sad.

But when they do see each other it's like they've been buds every day of their lives!

Vacation to Utah--Part 1

So, we just got home from a nice WARM vacation to Utah visiting family and taking care of certain businesses! INCLUDING my new business I started. Most of the time in St. George I was out and about designing a home that is being built in The Ledges. It was great, something that I absolutely LOVE doing. I toured some "Parade of Homes" Homes, and Brian and his Dad and brother and Uncle worked on their Ledges Home that they are building, which was next door to a Parade of Home House. So it was a huge thing for all of us!
My parents were also in St. George on vacation so the kids and I were able to spend time with them as well!
We had so much fun!
Thanks Brian's parents and my parents for such a wonderful visit!!!!!

I think Aislee's favorite part of the trip was seeing her cousins! They had so much fun together, and I LOVED seeing my nephews and my cute little niece!

More vacation posts to come!!!

UTAH!

We are so enjoying our 2 week vacation in Utah! We'll post soon!

Why I love having a GIRL!

I was getting Aislee ready for bed last night, and she was coming up with every excuse NOT to go to bed, and she wanted so bad to get in her Belle dress, but I kept saying no. Well somewhere she found her little ballerina outfit, and she put on her church shoes, and her Princess crown, and as ready as I was for her to go to bed, I couldn't help but be so thankful to have a girl! JILL I'm so excited for you. You too Jade! But Jill, I'm so excited that after two boys you get to experience this girly stuff! It reminds me so much of when we were little. I even did Aisers hair last night like Mom used to do ours sometimes. A French braid that wraps around, you know! I told Aislee it was a Princess crown. Every time I do her hair she asks me which Princess wears it like this???
So we had a little photo shoot, and she posed all by herself!
I so need to put her in dance!

~*~So Freaky Much~*~

The other day, Brian and Aislee were playing and Aislee went up and sat on her Daddy's lap and put her arms around his neck facing him and said, "Dad, We'll be friends forever and ever!" Brian of course melted in her arms, and said back to her, "Aislee I love you so freakin much!" She replied, "Dad, I'm so glad you love me so freaky much!" She's such a little sweetheart!
