A Little Randomness

I tag Betsy, Lou, Angela and Nikki

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was freezing in Logan as a freshman at Utah State. Jenny was almost engaged to Todd. I was investigating rock climbing with my outdoorsy roommate from Maine. Loving college life - unaware at how much better it would be each additional year (mostly)!5 things on my to-do list today (and everyday, for me they are all about the same):
1. Prayers/Read Scriptures/Ensign
2. Clean up breakfast/dress girls/tidy house or push the girls through the park with a friend/play w-girls/meet Daddy coming home
3. Lunch/Story time (then girls nap)/Dishes/I nap/read, Google sketch or blog (free time)
4. Dinner/Dishes/tidy house again/Bedtime routine
5. TIME FOR ME! I usually sit down next to Jon in the office (and free time) if I don't have other things that need to be done, like Primary or hanging the clothes up since we don't have a dryer...at least we have a washer. :) AND eat a bowl of cereal (Corn Chex).Things I would do if I were suddenly made a a billionaire:
First things first - I would talk to a financial adviser because let's be honest I don't have a clue how to invest money.

2 of my bad habits:
1. I far too good at procrastinating
2. I too often offer unsolicited advice or suggestions if I think there is a better way something should be done (especially with my family and then even more in the kitchen).

5 places I have lived:
Pueblo, CO; Billings MT, Pleasant Grove - Orem - Sandy - Woodland Hills - Logan - Spanish Fork - Bountiful - North Salt Lake UT; Guadalajara, MexicoHome Sweet Home
5 Jobs I have had:
1. Penguin Copier (got me through high school and my trip to England)
2. Nutritionist/Purchasing asst. (got me the internship)
3. Waitress (Juniper Inn/Maddox Ranch House)
4. Personal Trainer (loved)
5. MOM (love the most!)

5 Things people don't know about me:
1. I can't drive and talk (even to other passengers)
2. I blow my nose in the shower
3. I don't like milk and if ever offered a snail I shall decline
4. I think buffalo are ugly.
5. I am not a pet person - particularly indoors. I have enough fun cleaning up after my kids.

Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House
The kids put this together in Bear Lake for the Jenkins Annual Snowmobile trip. Our poor kids...when we unloaded the car of our suitcases Lauren asked,"Do we live HERE now?"

Where's the fire?

Where's the fire?
Jon's dad tried to change the fire alarm but with it linked to the security system the fire department was automatically contacted. So after five minutes of obnoxiously loud alarms going off the truck showed up. Oops

Date with Daddy!

Jon took Lauren to Hollywood Connection for some one on one time together. It was a hit. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME
September 17th 1978

Where does it hurt?

3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"

Junk Food

9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"

2/27/08 Lately L. has been insisting that I call her Cinderella. Sometimes I can hear her upstairs call for CINDERELLA. in a mean "step sister" tone, then in a sweet voice will answer, "I'm coming." She failed to pick up her toys when I asked, so I tried her new name and it worked wonders.

2/29/08 So L. is watching her old favorite and after Dory explains to Marlon that memory loss runs in her family, Lauren says, "It runs in my family too, Dory."

Cookie Dough

L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.

Anna two months

Anna two months
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...

Finding the Moon

Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08

Lunch on the "patio"



Lauren has a new fascination with cokewatches. What's a cokewatch you ask? It's Lauren's word for Cockroach! :)

L is lounging while watching our tennis match...this is the trike that ate me.

Kids are the best source of laughter

  • I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
  • R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
  • L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

Story came to play

These three happy girls just finished spinning in Daddy's chair. What kid doesn't LOVE that? When Story's mom came to pick her up she gave me the door prize she'd won. It was a full hour massage at a spa in town. It was HEAVENLY! Thanks Brooke.

Sunday doesn't come fast enough for L. to go with her teacher to Nursery. She will scout her out in S.M. and wave to her the rest of the meeting. She loves her.
