J's B-day: today is my nephew's birthday. It's amazing to me that 15 years ago I was in the room with my sister, her husband, and my parents to witness his birth. He came out with the most glorious hair. It was dark at the roots and had white tips. J has always been such a good kid and I'm so grateful for how much he loves my kid. Happy Birthday J!
Freelance X2: I got another smaller job given to me today. YAY!
Dad: my dad made me laugh today. He likes to tease, but at the end of the day I've always known that he loves me. I'm grateful for a dad that is not only a terrific father, but an amazing grandpa as well.

Chaos: I can only describe church today as chaos. Sacrament was loud, Sunday school was quiet, and sharing time was like walking into the zoo. I'm laughing right now because I can't believe that I'm comparing church with one of my family activities... but I totally am!
Friends: our Home Teachers came over today and the lesson was on friendship. I was humbled again by the blessing I have in my life of having such amazing friends. It amazes me how such wonderful people allow me to be a part of their lives.
Laughter: whenever my sister's kids come over the kid runs around the house with hysterical laughter. My in-laws came over after my sister's kids left and he was in such a great mood that it rubbed off and he was able to be very cute for them. Small blessings.

The day of painting: my niece came over today and G and I were able to paint without having a kid underfoot. We got the whole accent color painted. It's nice to have one section done, however, it's also daunting to have the rest of it to do! He he!
Pioneers: today is pioneer day! I'm grateful for my pioneer heritage. I'm grateful for the sacrifices they made so that I can have the advantages that are only here because of them. I'm blessed to know that I have English, Irish, Scottish, and French ancestors. The Irish and Scottish explain a lot. :) Blessed honored pioneers.
Date night with a kid: we are blessed to have a kid who is very well behaved. It's really fun to be able to go out on a date with him in tote and have him be a fun little man. He is so good at being entertained by his surroundings that when he is excited by playing with a straw G and I can have a good conversation. I love my little family.

Freelance: I was offered a freelance job today! I'm so excited and thankful. It's nice to be able to keep up my skills and be creative, but also it's nice to have some extra cash. :)
Subway: eat fresh.
Book of a Thousand Days: I LOVED this book. So cute! I have been on this kick of reading tween novels, and this one is one of my favorites now. I'm glad that I got those pamphlets from the library.

Dreams: I've always been a day dreamer, but I've also been blessed (cursed) with vivid dreams at night. Last night I had an amazing dream about a beautiful little newborn. (No, this isn't an announcement.) I'm grateful for the blessing of family and the fact that sometimes when I dream, my dreams come true.
Gravity: I first fell in love with this song because of SYTYCD, but today as my son accidentally turned on my ipod, I fell in love with it all over again.
Glasses: I wish my glasses were up to code (they are about 3 prescriptions old) but today I'm grateful for the fuzziness that is my sight with out contacts. I laughed at myself today as I bumped into things and stepped on things... It makes me giggle just to think about it. Thank heavens I live in the day and age of contacts.

Baby tables: my mom gave me the table that I grew up drawing on. It is currently in my family room and my kid loves playing under it. Today he took his cousin and was pointing to the top of it. He was talking gibberish, but I swear, she looked like she understood what he was trying to say.
Naps: it's a beautiful thing when 2 babies sleep at the same time.
The smell of fresh basil: I love it. It makes me happy because it makes me think of the yumminess I'm about to consume.

The counter-top by the fridge: sadly for years the counter-top by our fridge has been the landing place for all things that I don't know what to do with. It's been pretty bad... but since I'm prepping for painting all those sad and lonely things finally had to find a home today. It's amazing how good it feels to see it completely cleared off.
Goo-gone: seriously one of the best products on the planet. SERIOUSLY!
Bath time: I love watching the kid be so happy in the water. Even thinking about it brings a smile to my face. I love his high pitched little squeal he gives when he is kicking his legs and the water splashes him, I love how he plays with the ripples in the water and is fascinated by the drain, I guess I just love the kid...

Getting out of the house: there is something to be said for being a homemaker and the power of just getting out of the house. It's beautiful.
Prepping the house: I spent a good chunk of time today prepping the house for painting. I also was able to get one wall primed too. It was a pretty productive day.
Phones: sadly I'm one of those people that when I forget my phone at home I feel lost. I love my iPhone and the games/books/texting it gives to me.

Ruth: I love the Book of Ruth. I remember growing up that after my mom and I had read through the whole of the BofM we would pick other books to read and the Book of Ruth was one of my favorites. I was able to teach my Primary class today about Ruth and the example Naomi set for her. The beauty of obedience and the power true conversion has in the lives of family. It was a good day.
Parents: G's parents spoke in church today so we went down to their ward. I am amazed at the growth of my mother in law. Her sweet testimony is such a blessing in my life.
Brownies: we got this awesome recipe from my sister for these decadent brownies. G made them this morning and we took them to his parents house. If I say so myself they were pretty darn tasty! Good thing they were polished off or I might just have sat and ate them in a corner by myself.

Bridal showers: my friend K is getting married and it was so fun to go to her shower today and to see her. It was also fun to see my friends from the good old Mt. Mahogany ward. It's amazing how one singles ward has had such a profound effect on my life.
Top teeth: the kid's top teeth are coming through. I feel bad for him because they are such slow movers, but it's also fun to see them when they finally poke through. He's getting so big...
Chillin with the man: we were invited to go out tonight but it has been such a long week that we opted to stay in and just be with each other. We really don't get that very much anymore and so if we have a block of time that is longer than 15 minutes we really cherish it.

Fabric: I went and picked up the fabric today. It was just as pretty as I remember it being. I'm so excited to start my projects and am anxiously awaiting it being done! (Too bad I'm the one doing all the work and can't just sit back and watch someone else do it... that's the lazy voice inside my head speaking...)
Pattern sales: I went back to check to see if any patterns were on sale. Guess what?!? There were, so I picked up a couple of cute ones for down the road. Look at me turning all Molly!
Friday nights: it's nice to have that end of the week sigh of relief... it helps you know you've made it.

Nieces: I have the best ones in the world.
Fabric: my fabric came in and I get to go get it tomorrow. I can't hardly wait! I almost woke the kid up from sleep just so I could go pick it up. I know! It's insane how excited I am!!

Consistency: I've exercised 3 days in a row now... I know! I'm smokin'!!!
Thai food: it is nice to go out and eat at a yummy restaurant, it's even nicer when it's with a good friend.
Spinning: the kid has started spinning around in a circle... normally with his lips pursed. It cracks me and my husband up because he will do it without any warning. It isn't even to music! So... it leaves me to wonder what is going on in that cute little head.

Mirrors: today as I was out shopping with my mom and my sister the kid went up to one of the mirrors in the store and started kissing himself. It was HILARIOUS!
Superman... No... Batman! I got one of those reversible capes today! The kid doesn't get it yet, but someday he'll love me for it.
Laughter: I think a good laugh is the key to life. When it is hard to laugh, it's then that we need to laugh the most.

Dancing Machine: I really, really, REALLY, love watching my kid dance. It's hilariously funny.
SYTYCD: We watched it tonight together. It was last week's show and I was so sad that Alex got hurt. I even teared up a bit. Yes... I am that geek.

Samson: I have to admit. It isn't one of my favorite Bible stories. I mean... who likes to admit that even the strong can fall to the lure of a seductive woman? But today as I was teaching the kids about Samson and Delilah I found myself feeling a bit sorry for the guy's repentance process.
A clean house: I love having my house clean on a peaceful Sunday afternoon.
Pursed lips: the kid will sometimes walk around the house with his lips pursed like he wants to give someone big kisses. It's the funniest little look to me... Sadly when he actually is trying to give kisses he opens his mouth...

Canyon food: we went up the canyon tonight a little fun with friends. I have to admit to loving canyon/camping food. There is just something about a dutch oven that makes me happy.
Dirt: It was really fun to watch the kid play in the dirt. He is 100% little boy. He even ate some. Hooray for baths when we get home!

Old friends: you know that old saying that "old friends are the best friends"? Well I agree completely. Only with an old friend can you spend a Friday night after a long week, not say as much as you normally do, and still feel completely comfortable in their presence. Hooray for old friends.
Sleeping babies: as we drove home tonight the kid fell into a deep sleep. It was nice to take him out of the car and have him curl up into me. He's so cute when he's dead to the world.

The City of Ember: the book I'm now reading because of the library visit. So far so good.
Good night kisses: my husband came home tonight. Later than I like to be up... but I still got my kiss so I'm happy.

Business trips: I'm a fortunate woman to have a husband who loves his job, and is good at it. He left today for a business trip. I can't say that I enjoy him being gone, but I am grateful for the fact that it helps his career when he steps up to the plate. I married a good man.
Houses: I got to tour the house that my best friend is buying today. It is a very cute house that needs a little bit of work. I'm very excited for her since she and her husband have been looking for a house for a long time now. The best part? I clocked it... 3 minutes door to door!
Pandora: as I sit here in my house, updating my blog and playing on the computer I'm listening to Pandora. What a wonderful station. I sure do love it! Nice and mellow music streaming out and making me quite happy.

Register the car: so on Sunday we were pulled over. I HATE that feeling. It makes my stomach clench up just thinking about it. I had a friend in college that could get herself out of any ticket. Sadly this is not my talent. So when the policeman said that my registration had expired I was so thankful to show him the documentation that proved that I had done all the leg work, but because it was a holiday weekend the state was closed and I couldn't go get my sticker until today. Bless his heart he let me off! Guess what was on the top of my list to do this morning??? Yes, I'm now the proud driver of a registered car!
Lone Star Taqueria: I went and had a yummy lunch with an amazing friend today. I love those days. :)
Benadryl: So at the yummy lunch I had some fish taco (it was good, but I liked the steak quesadilla better... thankfully!). I keep telling myself I'm not allergic to fish, and my body keeps proving me wrong. Hives and a thick throat stinks big time! Benadryl is a gift from a loving Father in Heaven who doesn't like a sad little N.

Hose: the kid found out today that the garden hose is a much funner toy than his kiddie pool. Go figure... had I known this in the first place why buy the pool? We already had the hose!
Couscous: made dinner tonight and it was a couscous chicken dish... I really liked it... too bad the leftovers aren't as good... le sigh...

Book Covers: My dad is writing a book about one of my ancestors and I've been able to help him a tiny amount by designing a book cover for it. It's amazing to see the spirit of Elijah come through our family.
Fires: Our neighbors just put in a fire pit. It was fun to go to sleep tonight with the light of their bonfire flickering against our windows.

Good babies: I have myself a good baby. Although I'm not sure he qualifies as a baby anymore... He's such a good kid and such a little lover. I sure do love getting "tisses" from him.
Slip and slides: at our family party today my sister brought a slip and slide. It was fun to watch the little man splash in the water. It was even more fun to see the other kids play with him while he splashed in the water.
Brownies: Birch made the best brownies! Holy hannah! SOOOO good. Too bad I'm going on a diet. (I know... I'm sad about it too, but I want to get pregnant again soon and if I still have the baby weight on when I get preggo I think I'll shoot myself!)

Automobile: Whenever I hear the full word "automobile" I think of the scene from 16 candles... yes... I know... Anyway I went to pick up my car today and was so impressed with the service. The men who run the shop are good men and I felt like they wouldn't try to pull one over on me because I was a woman. They definitely have a loyal customer now.
Over the river and through the woods with Grandma we must drive... I think my mom might be getting sick of the sight of me. But I sure love being with her!
Hikes: my husband went on a hike today with a good friend of his. I like it when he gets out and does something good for himself. It makes him so nice. :)

Fasting: if you are fasting with a purpose, it can be one of the most meaningful experiences of life... otherwise it's just starving.
Fabric: my mom and I went to the fabric store today and it was sooooo much fun. I love design, I love coming up with ideas, I love putting fabrics next to each other and envisioning what it will do to a room or a home. It was so much fun to spend time with my mom and to be able to play with her. It reminded me of my sluff days during high school. I would always sluff to go play with my mom.
Feast: I had to do another word that started with "F" because it sounded like a fun thing to do... Fasting, Fabric, and FEAST! After a long day of fasting we went to dinner and had some yummy BBQ. Not only finger licking good (I got ribs!) but it was also a great way to start off a 4th of July weekend.

Fabric: my mom and I went to the fabric store today and it was sooooo much fun. I love design, I love coming up with ideas, I love putting fabrics next to each other and envisioning what it will do to a room or a home. It was so much fun to spend time with my mom and to be able to play with her. It reminded me of my sluff days during high school. I would always sluff to go play with my mom.
Feast: I had to do another word that started with "F" because it sounded like a fun thing to do... Fasting, Fabric, and FEAST! After a long day of fasting we went to dinner and had some yummy BBQ. Not only finger licking good (I got ribs!) but it was also a great way to start off a 4th of July weekend.

Little E: she gets more and more fun to watch. As she plays with my son it amazes me how similar and yet how different they are. I sure do love that little girl!
Pictures of Jesus: I have a picture of Jesus on my wall that is pretty close to where our baby gate is. Whenever I pass the picture with my son in my arms he always dives for it. He will pat the picture and start talking in his baby talk way... It just melts my heart.
Camp meetings: we were able to have a conclusion meeting tonight with all the members of the stake leadership. It was really fun to see all the people that I worked so closely with during girls camp. I feel so blessed to have made such great friendships and to have learned so much from these wonderful people!

Costco: I went and got a lot of yummy fruit today... but now comes the eating it part... large quantities means a LOT of fruit!
House shopping: I'm not planning on moving, but I went to look at a house today. It is really close to my parents and if I'm being totally honest, if you could get the house at the right price it would be awesome. One of my dreams is to live close enough to my mom and dad so that as they age they can stay in their home until the day they die, feeling comfortable and safe.
Laughing: I had a really good laugh with my sister over the house. The lady who lives there priced it at $569,900 and it it probably worth around $300,000 (way over priced... if it was in pristine condition it would be around $420,000 but it needs AT LEAST $100,000 worth of work to it, so doing the math... you get my point.) I love to laugh!

Motivation: I woke up this morning ready to take on the world... I'm not sure where that came from but it sure made for a productive day! LOVE it!
Fried Chicken: not healthy, but so yummy! It was my first real attempt at making fried chicken and I totally recommend the breading be with panko and parm cheese!
Support: my husband is in school right now and he needed time to do homework tonight. It is amazing to me how some nights it's hard, because I need a break from the kid, while other nights it's totally easy. Thank heavens tonight was easy!
