three things I'm not but kinda wish I were

A clean freak!
I would love to live in a clutter free home with floors clean enough to eat off at all times. The reality is well I live in a cluttered house were the floors are cleaned once a week (well on a good week.)
A germ-a-phobe!
I intend to carry hand sanitizer at all times and wipe down the grocery cart and public high chairs before I place my children in them, but it just doesn't always happen. I forget most of the time and even on the off chance that I do have hand sanitizer in the diaper bag it never gets used. I am grateful that even with my negligence I have healthy and happy kids, oh and remember the floor that is less then pristine, they still eat off it!
A health nut!
I did really well for about a month and a half then birthdays happened and both sides of the family came for visits. Well what else do you do when family gets together. You eat everything good! So I am slacking in the eating healthy department. Sophia is already hooked on ice cream, yes I know she should not have dairy until she is one, but she is happy :) I really am going to try and make healthy meals for my family. Anyone have suggestions for getting a two year old to eat veggies??

home new home

Well we are in the new house and it has been a little over a month and we have yet to get furniture or put paint on our very white walls. I guess to some that is not so bad. I have been a renter for so long now that I am sick of white walls and can not wait to get some color on them if only hubby and I could decided on a color, or colors! Well we did purchase our first piece of furniture it arrives tomorrow. This sectional which will go in our family room is a great example of the very indecisive people we are. So on Saturday we went "looking" which is what we have done now for over a month just scoping things out in case something we love is out there for the right place. Well bingo on Saturday we found it BUT the colors were not our first choice. We said forget it we like it we'll get it anyway! So we got a cream sectional for our family room. Yes I said cream the light off white sort of color. And yes this is going in our family room the room were our two year old and seven month old play in a lot! So as we are driving home I make the comment that my mom is going to say what were you thinking getting such a light colored couch for your kids to play on. ( I in my mind have visions of these well behaved kids who never run on furniture and would never dream of putting muddy hands on it! Nice thought!) Anyway so this comment gets my husband thinking and he decides we have to call them and switch to the sage green color at least then the fingerprints will look like slight smudges right! So we debate for hours (literally!) and finally come to the conclusion that well yes we both prefer the cream couch the sage green one is far more practical. So we call and like that our couch goes from cream to green. The next day I am depressed! Yes I am sad that we are getting the sage green couch! I go the whole day mourning the loss of all my color ideas that mind you have not materialized AT ALL yet. I think well now I am going to have to come up with all new ideas to work with and this sage couch is just not what I want blah blah blah... Anyway so I am so miserable about it (yes all day Sunday and Monday!) that we re debate and I finally end up calling and I change the couch back to cream. Then of course I stay up all night last night tossing and turning and all day today fretting about our cream couch. I can just see my self next month saying what was I thinking cream!!! I'll keep you posted.



In other household news the princess who is so tiny and dainty is crawling. She has been for quite a while now. She is a very independent baby and enjoys playing by herself, but she also adores her big brother and when he is around she gravitates to him. Last night her big brother was upstairs and hubby and I were in the kitchen and she was under the table playing. Well my husband turns around and notices she is gone. She had already made it half way up the stairs! So he supervised and she climbed all the way up unassisted. Our growing little girl! Her big brother also thought this was great and cheered her on (if you can call bopping her on the head cheering on) He is a sweet brother and he really loves his little sister. I can't wait until she gets even more interactive. My favorite thing in the world is to hear them laughing with each other. They'll just look at each other and start bursting out with laughter! It is very sweet I should get in on video now that I think about it! Well I have enjoyed this posting now as things slowly start to settle I hope I find more time to spend posting. Stay tuned hopefully I'll have pictures of the house up soon!

I'm it!

Well I generally NEVER do these things, I always think other people have far more interesting answers but anyway...

What was I doing 10 years ago?
Saying good bye to Samoa and getting ready to come to Utah and be independent! I felt on top of the world with my whole life in front of me and I was SCARED!

What was I doing 1 year ago?
Getting over morning sickness and chopping off my hair in hopes of cooling down. Hmmm...Maybe I should make another date with the scissors, heat makes me do crazy things!

5 Snacks I enjoy
well this would have been a totally different list a year ago but now I am trying to be healthy. (It doesn't always work but I still try)
1.Almonds
2. honey nut Cheerios's
3.carrots (when I had a fridge long story)
4. orange flavor Metamucil (sounds gross but really it tastes like tang!)
and last but not least
5. I SCREAM ,YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM ,FOR ICE CREAM! and yes in this heat number five gets eaten WAY more then the others when it is available.

5 songs I know all the words to
well anyone who knows me knows I am notorious for making up words when I don't know (or in many cases think I know) the words. Five songs I truly know all the words to...
1. I am a Child of God
2. Teach Me to Walk
3. Families Can Be Together Forever
4. I love to See the Temple
5. Jesus Said Love Everyone
These are my sons current favs. the ones I sing to him before bed.

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire
1. build my dream house
2. travel the world
3. get weekly pedicures (I've had 2 in my life and they were heavenly)
4. hire a chef (A really good one!)
5. drive a land rover

5 bad habits
not to copy my tagger but my number one is
1. procrastinate
2. stressing out
3.wasting time
4. impulse shopping (but not often!)
5. ebaying (which I guess is connected to number four)

5 thing I like to do
1. surf the web while chatting to my hubby (when he is at work)
2. watch my children do silly things (two year olds are GREAT entertainment)
3. workout (this is a new one to the list but absolutely LOVE my kick boxing class I really think I could kick some trash now!)
4. eat (this HAS to be on the list especially now at the vulnerable time of month if you know what I mean hehehe)
5. kick back and relax (whether that is with my husband, the girls, or other couples we enjoy)

5 things I will never wear again
1. copying my tagger again my wedding dress (in fact I just recently sold it! I am not a very sentimental girl, I sold it cheep since I got it well for free and I hope the other girl feels as beautiful in it as I did)
2. my wedding shoes the white sneakers ( I gave them to DI I hope I don't regret this later I have a hard time letting go. Wait a minute is this coming from the same girl who 2 seconds ago typed I am not a very sentimental girl? Can we say inconsistent! Maybe that should go under bad habits)
3. My maroon dress that is hanging in my closet (it should be in the DI box I can't nurse in it and it is just not flattering). I am stuck on this one I guess there are only three on this list

5 of my favorite toys

hummmmm.....
I don't really have cool toys none that come readily to mind anyway.
maybe my hair straightener? I need to get my self some cool toys.

flubbers

So we are all allowed to miss spell as we throw our selves into the cyber world right? Right. Well thanks for catching the typo! I am sure there will be many more to follow! I will be updating much more after the move right now I am off to make invites to the best Tonka bash ever thrown!

a full plate

Not that I need more on my plate right now but I just feel so inspired! I am busy being mom to two, and wife to one. In the next two weeks I have to close on our first house (scary!), plan an awesome Tonka truck bash (Caden is turning 2!), and get the family dolled up for family photos. I did not choose for it all to happen like this it just sort of is. I am still very calm I think. My husband would down right disagree! But anyway I was cleaning my inbox and stumbled across Jo's blog form there I went to another and just thought it was time I found a permanent blog spot . So as soon as the move is over and I am settled I'll say farewell to all others and stay true and faithful to my new home in cyberspace!
