Tagged again! I love it, though!

Okay so I have been tagged by my friend Amy. Enjoy!

5 things on my To Do List.

1. Clean my house- I hate cleaning!
2. Finish reading the book for Shawn and his Dad's book club (they would never say that they have a book club, but we occasionally read the same book and talk about it whenever- but there are no set dates and meetings, just whenever)
3. Play with my kids (I will admit, sometimes I have to remind myself to do it- it can be so easy to just turn on the TV and do my own thing while they watch it- I really need to prioritize this!)
4. Plant my garden (Not quite yet, but I have stuff to do to get it ready)
5. Write in my journal (I am horrible at this!)


5 jobs I have had.

1. Worked at a kennel in high school (I loved it and it was where I gained a lot of my useless knowledge about dogs and my love of them- I wanted to be a vet, but my allergies and intelligence were a barrier!)
2. McDonald's for two years as a teenager (I still sometimes have dreams where I work there- too weird!)
3. Los Hermanos server and bar tender (I hated the server part- people in Utah Valley don't seem to understand the concept of tipping- but the bartending was really fun!- For those of you who don't know about Los Hermanos is that they aren't alcoholic drinks, they are more like fruit smoothies that I would make)
4. Off-Campus Housing inspector for BYU housing

5. Receptionist for the best Medcial Spa in town!

5 places I've lived.

1. Broomfield, CO
2. Henderson, NV
3. Glendale, AZ
4. Provo, UT
5. Pleasant Grove and Payson, UT (Yeah, that is the total list)

5 favorite snacks.

1. CHOCOLATE
2. Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream
3. Popcorn
4. Cookies (Favorite are Oreo's dipped in Milk)
5. Cinnamon Bears (I have had a thing for them lately)

5 things I would do if I were a billionaire.

1. Buy a house with space for an art studio for Shawn so that he could work from home
2. Make sure that there was a fund for each of my kids for college, missions, weddings, etc.
3. TRAVEL
4. Buy an AWESOME car (don't ask me which one, it changes all of the time!)
5. Get massages every day

5 things you may not know about me.

1. I am completely clutzy- if I am walking down a hallway in a straight line, the chances are good that I will bump into the wall for no reason, or if I am walking through a doorway, I will almost every time hit the doorway with my shoulder (maybe my shoulders are bigger than I think they are)
2. I am addicted to exercising at Curves, if I week goes by that I don't go, I feel fat and tired and weak.
3. I like to write- most of you don't know this because I would die before I let you read anything I have written because I know it is terrible- but I dream of one day writing a book that I would be proud to share with all of you.
4. I am very good with technological things- Shawn doesn't even know how to work his cell phone totally because I have it all set up for him! (He could, I know, but he doesn't bother because I enjoy it so much!)
5. I constantly suffer from headaches- I don't know why, but I can't remember the last day that I went without taking some advil and or tylenol to get me though the day because my head is always throbbing.

(I decided to add this one, just for fun!) 5 things I LOVE:
1. The feeling when my kids give me a big hug!
2. The smell of rain
3. The sound of my children's laughter
4. The crunch of leaves under my feet in the fall
5. Every night after we put the kids to bed, Shawn and I take the back pillows off of the couch and spoon/snuggle while we watch TV together- it is my favorite time of the day.

Well, there you go. I tag Ruth, Slish, Shelley, Mom and Dad, and Sherri.

Pretty, Pretty Princesses





So, there is this game that my cousin, Melissa, got for Abby as an Easter present called "Pretty, Pretty Princess where you collect and put on princess jewelry and try to get the crown. Shawn played it with Melissa and the kids- I just couldn't resist taking some pictures!

Mustache March







So, we noticed that some of you were quite impressed with Shawn's mustache in the previous entry, well, there is a reason for the hideousness. Last month it was Mustache March at Shawn's work (it was, of course, his idea), so we decided to also take some family photos with fake mustaches on me and the kids, we hope you enjoy them! By the way, Shawn didn't win the contest, but he did get "looks the oldest" as a prize. For the final judging he had shaved off the fumanchu thingy and just went with the hideous Magnum PI look, hope you enjoy it!

Easter (A week late)

I just wanted to share this, it is over three minutes, so if you get bored, that is all good! Mostly it is for my parents who weren't able to be here for Easter- I thought you might enjoy seeing the kids search for eggs . . . I wish we had been able to do it outside, but it was snowy, so the basement of Cory and Sherri's house is where it happened!

Lucas found my hat



Just some cute pictures of Lucas in a hat, I think he looks handsome!

Trying out the video thingy

Abby is HILARIOUS to listen to, sometime she just rambles on about different things and half of the time you don't know what she is talking about. In this one she is at my in-laws house and talking about the dogs (with our dog there were three there at the time) and whatever else popped into her head. I thought some of you might enjoy hearing what she sounds like! Sorry it is sideways, I wasn't sure how to rotate it, and I'm too lazy to do it right. This is Emma's shirt that Abby slept in because we forgot her PJ's, I thought she was cute in it!

Easter (kind-of)







For our family we didn't really do much for Easter yesterday b/c my father-in-law was out of town, so we are doing our big thingy next week. Also, did it seem to come up too soon for everyone else, too? Well, anyways, here is Abby in one of her Easter dresses (My mother-in-law loves to get my kids the cutest clothes for Easter, and I for one and grateful that she has a weakness for adorable dresses and wound up buying 3 for Abby this year, but I am paying for one of them, and she got Lucas an adorable outfit) and Lucas in his outfit! Also, Abby got a bath disney princess play set that came with bath crayons, I will let you see for yourself what she did with them!

I need tips and help!!!

Okay, I just can't do it, where do you people get all of your cute templates and things like playlists and video editing stuff?! I swear I have tried to find stuff, but I also don't have money, is this only stuff that you can get for free? Or do you guys know of secret stuff that I can find that is free? Please, I will take any help I can get! I really was excited about putting a music player on there so that you all could hear my new favorite song- if you do want to hear it, I suppose you could find it- it is called "Who Wants to Live Forever" by a group called Breaking Benjamin and is on an album called something like "A Tribute to Queen", yes, it is a re-make of a Queen song, but is completely awesome!!! It reminds me of Twilight, I feel like it should be on the movie soundtrack! At any rate, I need help, and I would love for you guys to hear my new favorite song, so find it and check it out!!! Thanks ahead of time for all of the help! Love you all!
