Sweet Baby A








Our sweet baby just turned one and he melts my heart. I LOVE watching him take tiny, careful steps, giving me big smiles and pulling on my pants leg. I Love kissing his fat cheeks and sqeezing his squishy fat legs. I love it when he says peez to get more fruit. I love it when he only wants me when his siblings try to take him away and he bops them on the nose and pushes them away. I love getting him out of his crib and all the smiles and laughs. I love chasing him, asking him what sound a dog makes, trying to dodge his quick hands that want to steal my glasses. He makes me SO happy. I know I have changed alot as a mother from 1-5, I am WAY more relaxed. I think I am enjoying it, I see how fast it goes. Although I am trunky for Kindergarten(the twins start in the fall). I am so glad we decided to have one more. Adam is sweet and fills our home with smiles. I really feel that he completes this family and makes us all closer. Happy bday baby.

Hazards of storing Plutonium in Tupperware

I just have to say on Yahoo mail you can click on the subject spot of an email and it will pick a title for you. So that is what I did. In case you were wondering, I don't know what the hazards are, but it doesn't seem like a good idea. I like to do that subject picker when I send emails to Shay just to throw him off. Check it out it is hilarious. By the way, I worked out today. I feel great! The day feels beautiful, my kids are cute, my house is sorta clean, my baby is sleeping. I feel grand. I also just made some furniture from the website knockoffwood.blogspot.com . You have to check out this site, Ana is amazing! I am loving it. Thank you Christy, I have been telling everyone about it. As far as the furniture I still have more to make and will try to get pics up when it is painted. I know God lives, I know my Savior loves me. I feel true joy from knowing those things. Wow, it is amazing what a little exercise can do for you. I am going to go read my Book of Mormon just to seal the day positive. I am excited Shay and I are going to the IMAX to watch Avatar tomorrow night, (if i can get a babysitter). It is almost the weekend. I have missed Shay like crazy since he has been working his bootie off and traveling a good bit. Hooray! That is all I have to say right now.

Dream Interpretation

I often have a dream where multiple of my teeth are loose. They will fall out, and I will try over and over to put them back in, only to have them fall out again. It is super distressing and frustrating and I wake up and do two things: 1. I feel like they are still missing. 2. I check on them over and over again to get rid of the feeling that they are falling out and/or gone.
I wanted to figure out why I have these crazy dreams. I think we all know what Freud thought and I completely and utterly disagree with that. I finally did a search and out of all the crazy ideas, I think this one fits the best.
Loss of Control, Powerlessness
I love to be in control, I love my house, car, yard, children to be neat and orderly. But this rarely occurs. Like super rarely, actually maybe never. But that is what I like and when I feel like I am not able to keep up with the house, kids, calling, and all the other stresses, I think I have these teeth dreams. Really I know that is it. And I hate it, just because I hate to lose my teeth. It feels horrible.
Tell me about your worst reoccurring dream and your interpretation of it. Maybe I won't feel like such a weirdo.

Feeling much better

Thank you for your suggestions. Some scriptures (which Adam tore today) and kids back in school gives you a strange sense that the world is right again. I realized that I was just needing the kids in school so that when I clean it sticks for more than a second, just like I am hoping the snow sticks.

The kids are playing in the flurries. While Adam screams out the back window not to be forgotten.

Must rescue the baby in distress!

New year same old habits

I really want to make some positive changes but I am in a FUNK. I realize that this funk began when I got pregnant with the twins. So I have been in a funk for six years. I guess it is hard to break when you have been in it sooooo long. I WANT OUT! Help me. I want to be that fun, crafty, time spending, cool momma I was before. I want to read my scriptures everyday like I used to. I want to stop telling my kids to clean 24/7.

Just so you know I am not exaggerating, the other day Shay asked the kids if they made a doll to represent each of us, where you pull the string, what would they say? Mine would say, its time to clean, clean up your messes. Just so you know.

So I need inspiration, ideas that work, and some love to help me out of this FUNK....any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
