Snow In ST GEORGE!!!

It started snowing during the superbowl today. The kids were so excited. I dug out all of our old snow gear and we went out to build a snowman. The kids thought that the jazz flag was the perfect way to finish it. Jack had so much fun. He hasn't really ever played in the snow. He didn't want to come in, but his cheeks were so red and he got cold. Peyton was a little bummed that he couldn't practice basketball. He plays everyday!!

A LOT ABOUT ME!!

10 years ago: I was 19 years old. I was madly in love with Ryan, and we were engaged on Valentines Day. I weighed a whole lot less, I didn't have as many wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and my boobs and butt were positioned where they are supposed to be.


5 things on my todo list today: Drag myself out of bed, get the kids ready for the day, Young Women's Presidency meeting, Clean the kitchen, Do Laundry.

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Hmmmm...good question. Well, to start off I would pay all of our debt off and purchase our dream home. I would put some aside for my children to attend college. I would enter Ryan in the World Championship Poker Tournament (that would really make his day!!). I would go to Disney World!! I have never been!! I would send a check to my dad and mom for all of the times they paid my car payment in High School (hee hee just kidding...they are full of it). I would take my entire family on a vacation to wherever...somewhere warm. I would start my own business. I don't know what kind, but I would do it.


3 of my bad habits: I am addicted to caffeinated beverages. I HATE it!! But really I love it and that is why I cannot stop. I am a constant worrier. I have anxiety so bad, and when it hits I can't think of anything else but the thing that is worrying me....does that sentence even make sense??? who knows. Oh great now I will start worrying about that (jk it's not that bad). I love to pick at anything and everything. I can't wait until Peyton gets zits so I can pick em.

5 Places I have lived: Rigby, My first apartment in Logan, Ryan's grandpa Bertoch's house in Logan, Our cute, little, perfect, brick home in Logan that I miss SO much, and St. George!!

5 Jobs I have had: Bundy's Drive-In, Fiesta Ole, Discovery Research Group, Project Manager at Information Alliance, The World's Greatest Mother!! (funny!!)

Things most people don't know about me...

That is a hard one. I am an open book. I tell everyone everything, and I believe it is down right annoying sometimes. I will try...

I have a really had time sharing my emotions. I can cry in private, but I hate to cry when anyone is watching. I don't like to show my vulnerability (spelling?) And not only that I feel like my whole face distorts when I cry and it is not a pretty site.

I love doing my make-up. I am not very "girly" but I can spend a good 30-40 minutes just on my make-up when I have time to do so. I love to curl my eyelashes and apply the mascara.

I love to sing and dance!! Anytime there is music on I have to sing and dance regardless if I look or sound good.

I love to bake. I am not a good cook, but I THINK I am okay at baking. I love baking cookies, cakes, apple crisp, etc.

I cannot go a day without talking to my sister. It is crazy, but I have to. I should have put that on my to do list.

I love to read. If the book gets me hooked I can finish it in a flash.

I can't just sit and watch a television show. I always have a few shows that I am watching and switch them back and forth when there are commercials. It is very annoying.

I would love to be a school teacher. In fact if I went back to school I would probably go for a teaching degree.

Although I hate housecleaning, I am a very organized person at SOME things. I have both of my boys scrapbooks updated. I have always documented their accomplishments, funny sayings, favorites, friends, etc. for each year.

I am so excited to be having another boy!! Really I am!

Okay...man I really went overboard. That was kind of fun. I told you I was an open book!!

I TAG...

Aimee (I think you have already done this, but oh well)
Angie
Jared or Wendy

BOY News!!

It's official!! We will be having another boy in June. Peyton was really hoping that it would be a girl, but he is okay with another brother. Jack is just excited about having a baby. He said he is going to feed it bottles and change diapers. We will see.... I am okay with another boy. I had a feeling that I would have another. I think Ryan was a little dissapointed. He probably doesn't want to have another so he was hoping this one was a girl. Oh well.. now we have to come up with a name. We have no idea.

2007 Year in Review

As you all know I am not very good at keeping this thing updated. So.....to make up for all the months and events that I missed I posted a few of my favorite pictures taken throughout the year. I do not think I have enough patience to write something about each picture so you will just have to settle for looking at them. We had a wonderful year, and we are very grateful for all the time we were able to spend with our family and friends. Enjoy!!

Christmas Tree

We decided to venture out and get a "real" tree this year. I hope that we don't regret it and that it lives until Chrismas. We hiked forever looking for the perfect one. When we found it we didn't realize that we had picked one that was 14 feet tall. Yeah...we are pretty goofy. We got it home and it took up the entire living room. All we could do was sit there and laugh about the monster of a tree we had cut down. Ryan was able to cut off a few feet and it actually looks pretty good. The kids did a great job decorating it. Jack keeps secretly pulling off the candy canes and eating them. He thinks that we won't notice the blue mess all over his face.

Thanksgiving Break

I always end up putting everything backwards... oh well. One of these days I will learn how to post correctly. We had a very eventful Thanksgiving Break. We first had a suprise 50th Birthday party for Grandma Suzie in Tooele.

From there we went to Idaho Falls to spend Thanksgiving with the Bunderson gang. We had so much fun. The kids were crazy as usual and spent the week tearing apart Grandpa Danny's house. We had our traditional Thanksgiving Play. I am the "official" author and director of the play so I was unable to take pictures. It turned out very cute and the kids did great. Heidi was able to put pictures of it all on her blog (the crane blog).

Heidi, Grandma Cindy, and I went early morning shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We were all a little tired, but we had a lot of fun and got some good deals.

On the way home we stopped in Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square. Suzie and her fiance Terry joined us. The kids enjoyed the lights, but didn't know if they enjoyed the cold. Jack is still getting used to wearing shoes and socks instead of flip flops.

We had a great time and I am very "Thankful" for our families. They are the best!!











Eli planned a suprise birthday party for Grandma Suzie. She was so excited she nearly fainted. We all had a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed staying in the hotel with the sitter. Jack and Peyton think that their cousin Ian is pretty funny.
