29, one more year

Ella took this picture up at my parents house today, where we had the white coat burning party, good times.

I don't really know where to start, I have been thinking about what I am going to post the last couple of days. Ella told me yesterday after asking how old I was going to be, "I can't wait until you're 30 so you can be in the same number as Daddy." Pretty funny. Turned 29 today, One more year as a twenty something. Jeremy was on call, the kids had a Happy Birthday sign waiting for me before I went downstairs this morning and presents they couldn't wait for me to open, they were cute.

Just some random things about me,

-sometimes I read too much
-let my kids watch too much tv, like during 2nd session of conference today so I could watch and listen

-get after my kids too much

-probably don't clean my house enough

-still love our house, big yard, pool, living on a circle, and having more than on toilet is a big plus

-glad Taylor lost his pacifier last Monday and has been taking it ok, even though it is incredibly sweet when he says, 'I wan paci, mom" love that kid.

-love it when Jeremy has a weekend off, we are pretty faithful about going out when he does, and we finally call yw to babysit more than family and the kids love them.

-love the almost annual vacation Jeremy and I take w/o kids, though we cheated last year and went to Hawaii twice, Amy thank goodness we went in Oct. and used our vouchers, ata closed shop and declared bankruptcy, Karie hope you guys got to use yours.

-waxed my armpits for the first time yesterday, didn't feel good, but surprising how fast my skin has recovered, hopefully don't have to shave for a while.

-would love to have a place here where it is safe to use my kiln and I could learn how to use it without worrying about the kids getting 3rd degree burns from it, then we could make pottery

-I also forgot how much I like Dr. Erickson, he gives me the VIP treatment as he puts it. I remember so many girls nights talking about our doctors, I am sure you can guess why I was reminded that I liked him, I saw him for a visit last week, hope my family doesn't check this link and figure it out, they still don't know, more details later after the fam finds out.

Goals that I have,

-to exercise more and be in shape (always a goal)

- to eat healthier, for myself and kids and Jeremy, another constant goal I don't always live by

-and teach the gospel more in our home.

Things I would love,

Nanny, house cleaner (to do the detail work I hate), and someone to cook dinner every night, wait a second aren't these all things a stay at home mom is suppose to do, we're still busy that its not wrong of me to want these things is it, dinner is my least favorite chore.

Well I don't know what else I could include, I miss having our girls nights and can't wait for the summer weekend, hope I can make it and as many of you girls can make it as possible, I'm excited.
