spring flowers


its baby palooza

its baby palooza everywhere i turn. spring is definitely the time of year for big events. parties, weddings, school dances, baby showers and new baby arrivals. which- for those of you who cant calculate--- there are a lot of happy men in the summer months! but its funny how quickly you forget! i mean london is only 2 1/2 and i cant remember her ever being that small. i held baby bryce at church on sunday for 2 hours. he was so tiny and beautiful. he even smelled wonderful. within the next few weeks im expecting one niece and about 10 new babies from friends. i envy them and the joy this will bring to their lives. i envy holding them in the middle of the night, watching them grow old with lots of siblings and having family vacations with little children on the beach. kids making sandcastles and chasing each other around disneyland. i will not miss the midnight feedings and 15 diaper days. but i am so blessed to have london! she is wonderful and most of the time very sweet! so family vacations will include one of her friends or lots of cousins! (meg, brig and kristal- i am counting on this)
new life is amazing and im always shocked at how this little baby could come out of that body! crazy but cool!

small world

how many times do you run into someone or meet a new friend and have them be related to you or one of your closest friends? three times in the last week i have had this happen and they all have been new clients. how many times do we love people and not know how closely we are linked. it really just is such a small world!

7 weird things about me

so reading amys blog and i thought this was funny! so amy im stealing this from you.

1. Waxing my arms and getting a pedicure make me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet. even though not close to being true. if those things are done i am a happy girl.

2. i love teeth. seriously i look at everyones smile and immediately notice who has good teeth. if you have nasty teeth-- well we are not good friends cause i pay way too much attention to that.

3. i like weirding people out by popping my hips out of the socket or putting my feet behind my head.

4. i think everyone should have at least two kids. i think kids need a sibling.
but i am quickly learning to think otherwise since london will be it for me!

5. i love to work out. i mean LOVE IT! i would live at the gym. plus im so competitive that if someone is running next to me i will kill myself to keep their pace. crazy but true!

6. i hate to have hair on me. the little hairs after a hair cut! which is funny since that is my job. but i can never wait to get home and shower them off after work.

7. i wish you could be friends with all of your friends for life! i wish it did not matter if you dated that friend or if you are married or if you all got in a big lame fight in eighth grade that keeps you not talking. and i wish people didnt have to act like they dont care how you are because now they dont need you. its lame and there you have it!

so really those are just silly things and im sure you all could tell me more weird things about me. but lets just pretend that those are it! muah!

twinkies 25plus years ago




sisters are

or seisters as we call them in our family. they are
the leader and the teacher of things good and bad.
the confidant.
the singer of songs in an offkey sort of way.
they think your dancing is the coolest.
and they can make fun of you without hurting your feelings.
they are the best friend.
they laugh at stupid things you say that are only humorous to the two of you.
they are your protector.
and your biggest fan. and you are theirs.
you hurt when they hurt.
you smile when they smile.
you can call them at four in the morning just to laugh about chon chon!
your husbands don't get you and neither do your parents- but sisters----
THEY ALWAYS GET YOU!!!!
oh the gift of sisterhood!

life is a highway

Life is a highway and i want to drive it all night long! im one of the few people i know who loves loves loves to drive. road trips are so fun. i can handle the car for about 6 hours before i want out and even then it depends on where we are going. but to drive in the car at night with the music blaring and the windows rolled down with the rain pouring and the cold air coming in. ahhh heaven. some think im crazy and most of you know i am. but i get this crazy thrill from it. it calms me down and winds me up all at the same time. i guess im just a silly girl?!
