Day 11 - Another picture of you and your friends
This picture that I am going to add is actually of one of my really good friends that is pretty much like family. I have known her for a while and I spend quite a bit of time with her at work and out of work. Her name is Jeanine. The picture is about her taking us to Red Butte Garden (Garden after Dark). This is something that the girls love to do and Jeanine makes it happen every year! The garden is decorated for Halloween, the kids get to dress up, do crafts and this year they had a bunch for the kids to do. The picture is Jeanine helping Jaycee create a vampire on her pumpkin. The kids got to pick out a pumpkin and paint it. So cute! I know she hates pictures but I love her so much and I had to do it. (Yes, Neeners you can kill me later). This was the first time Amaya got to participate, the last couple of years, I didn't want to drag her out in the cold knowing that I would end up carrying her the whole time. I waited til she was older. Jaycee on the other hand has went every year, this is one of her favorite events she gets to attend, I think her favorite part is all the activities, but after we go to McCools, and all I heard was about their Macaroni and Cheese wedges. Her favorite. It's some good times. We got to enjoy the time with Maria Suchil and Jeanine. I love you guys, thank you for making this a wonderful event. I know the girls and I really appreciate it and look forward to this.


Day 12 - How you found out about blogs and why you made one

I found out about blogging through my Aunt Sherry, she was telling me one day about a friend of hers that would blog and then at the end of the year she would have the blog printed up as a scrapbook. This kinda interested me and it made me think, but I really didn't put one together until I read a friend at works blog. www.kendraandryan.blogspot.com, this was such an interesting girl that is so cute and works with us, but it really got to me when I started reading about what happened to her daughter. It made me sad to read it, she inspired me through her writing, and thats how it came about. I thought hmmm maybe this would be good to keep people (friends and family) informed about what is going on in our day to day life and have some updated pictures of the family. We have family all over the world. Some in Idaho, San Francisco, NJ, NY, the Phillipines and then other places as well, so I figured when they wanted to check in on us this would be an easy way.

Oh Snow Snow Please Go Away Fast!

For the last couple of days we have gotten snow. The first day it was okay, it came and went. This one today, argh the roads are wet, it's cold, it's miserable...... But if you are children what does this mean????? Play time. Yep you guessed it, the girls were up getting their snow suits on, their heavy coats, beanies and they were out the door. The only thing that they dont have are snow boots. I need to go get them some that fit. Every year they outgrow all the winter stuff so we get the priveledge of buying new stuff yippee... Boy winter stuff can get expensive, good thing I have two girls and the second one always gets the hand me downs. It was so cute. We then went and picked up the other kids to take them to school, they were out building a snow man or girl (Don't know yet, it's not finished), the last one they made was a girl and her name was Jeanine. It was awesome, considering I have a wonderful friend name Jeanine. The girls will probably have one made in our yard soon. I will update pics of them all dressed in their snow gear!!

Day 10 - Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

Songs that I listen to? I don't really have any specific ones. I do like "The Danger Zone" (soundtrack to Top Gun), I jam this song and yep I drive really fast. A song when I am sad would have to be the song they played at my grandpas funeral ("You lift me up" by Josh Groben) or the one by Carrie Underwood ("Temporary Home"). Good songs, but sad. When I am mad and I hear that one song (I hate everything about you" oh yeah that one just makes me extra mad, or the "Bitch Song" by Merideth Brooks love it. Hmm... When I am happy it can just be any song, doesn't really matter. And when I am bored I love to just turn on the music and have little Amaya and Jaycee start singing and it makes my day. Rock band is a favorite in my house!!!!

Day 09 - Something you’re proud of in the past few days

I am really proud of being able to donate my time to friends and family. I don't have money I can give them, but I do donate alot of my time to helping them with fundraisers, moving, any thing that I have outgrown (baby stuff) ect. I am pretty proud when they ask and I can do things to help out, it really makes me feel good. Lately its been more about friends that I am helping more than family, but I am always there when either needs me.

Day 08 - Short term goals for this month and why

The list of my short term goals for this month.
1: Try to eat less sugar and exercise more. (I got a bunch of peanut butter M&M's for my birthday, so the less sugar thing is out the door).
2: Keep up on this blog for the next 30 days, just to see if I can do it or not.
3: Try to get out of my house on time so that we can pick up the other kids and take them all to school a the same time.
4: Try to be more patient with my kids and husband, I know that they try hard to make me happy.
5: Get through training for my new temporary position without complaining.
Okay that is enough goals for one month lol!

Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Wow something or someone who inspires me. I have quite a bit of people and things that inspire me. My friends, my family of course, and then there is the greater power that also is there. I am not very religious, but I do believe that there is someone greater than any of us out there. I do believe because of all that my family and friends have been through and the stories they have told. I do pray sometimes, not as much as I should but I am always thinking of that person high in the sky. I do thank him for all the things he has done for all of us, sometimes I can't believe that he lets some stuff happen, but thats not my call

Day 06 - Favorite super hero and why

This family is my favorite super heros because they still have their little powers, they still get into michief and yet they stay a family and they do things together. I like it, makes me think of a normal family when you work together you can do things better and overcome anything.
