Abby will be 2 in May and I am so struggling to get a great picture of her. Abby is a very beautiful girl but can't hold still long enough for me to take a picture of her. She really makes me laugh all the time. It's so amazing how different each of our kids are, I guess it just goes to show you that there really is so much more to these little ones then what others would leave you to believe.

10 Years ago I was: A jr. in high school lovin' life. Working at my mom's store and doing every single possible after school activity. I was really busy in High school and don't regret a single moment.
5 Things on my To Do List today:
1. I'm really bad at lists but I can't do anything till my kitchen is clean.
2. Organize my bedroom i.e. finish folding and putting away my laundry.
3. Get Will's room ready to paint.
4. Plant our vegetable garden (I'm so excited to see if my pea's actually make it!)
5. Send a package off to my little brother before he leaves the MTC this week
Things I would do if I became a billionaire:
1. Pay off all of our debt
2. Pay for our parents retirement and see if I could have them move within an hour of us
3. Travel, Travel, Travel
4. Get Jeremy his 18 different dream cars and help him become a race car driver
5. I really want to say pay for my kids education but Jeremy and I both feel blessed to have worked our way through college so I'd have to work out some sort of system.
3 of my bad habits:
1. I'm way too unorganized, I honestly believe if I could conquer this I would conquer the world or at least my world.
2. I watch way too much T.V. I'm literally a waling T.V. guide and it's really bugging me lately.
3. Being Sarcastic. I tend to let that get in the way of a lot of things.
Places I have lived other than here:
1. Logan (married-days)
2. Logan (single-days)
3. Spanish Fork (Single days)
4. Price (college)
5. Orangeville
6. Spanish Fork when I was a little girl
Jobs I have had (recent to past):
1. Northern Title (receptionist) 4 years
2. USU imaging deptartment
3. JC Penney shoe dept
4. Pinnacle Elementary Tutor/ After school program
5. Paperworks
6. Swenson's Catering (these were both of my parents businesses and I don't think I learned more at any of my other jobs. I started working for them when I was 14)
Things Most people don't know about me:
1. I love sports just about any sport not that I can play them well but I love watching them, especially college football.
2. I'm a European history buff and love learning about history.
3. I miss my long long hair
4. I was a ballerina since the age of 4 and quitting was one of the hardest decisions ever.
5. I'm hoping to run a half marathon this year but sometimes I lack ambition. I keep hoping if I tell enough people that I'll run just so I don't disappoint them.
6. Someday I want to be a photographer

I consider myself an open person and can usually admit when I'm wrong, unless it's to my husband. For Christmas Santa gave Abby some crayons that she can color with in the bathtub. I seriously thought it was a genius idea. Sure enough in the bathtub they were a huge giant hit! Anyhow Jeremy warned me that now Abby was coloring on the walls in the bathtub she would think she could color anywhere she wanted. I protested saying Lizzie never colored on the walls and thus Abby would be just as good. Well darn it all Jeremy was way too right! So I've been cleaning up graffiti off of our walls and Lizzie has been really good to help me magic erase it away (how did anyone survive without that amazing thing!). Well the other day as I was taking some laundry upstairs I noticed something on our stairs. Lizzie tried her best to explain to me that it was Abby but well, Lizzie's handwriting is just getting better and better and well you can see for yourself. Well at least it was in pencil.
Jeremy recently sold his old storm for those of you who knew us in college this car was quite memorable and lets be honest the reason I started dating him (Just Kidding). Anyhow as we watched the new owners drive away I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness creep in my heart. We had so many good memories with that car like the time I couldn't get my old Omnit to start during a super cold Logan morning and used my womanly charm to get Jeremy to drive me to Salt Lake to a family party, as we were driving the temperature gage steadily rose until it said it was hot, now mine and Jeremy's account vary on what happened he claims I told him it was fine and to continue to drive and I remember not knowing what to do leaving the decision in his hands regardless the car died on I-15 leaving us stranded fortunately my uncle came and towed the car for us. Luckily it was only a water pump but still quite memorable. I always wanted to find a cool name for the car and only after we sold it did the name come to me. "lightning" what was I thinkin'! anyhow we are so grateful for the car and are sad to see it go but thanks for the memories and may you have a happy life with your new owner.
I guess it's been awhile since i've posted so here's a great story from a week ago. We made cupcakes for Family Home Evening. The kids love licking the bowl and such, we didn't have time to frost the cupcakes so we decided we'd do it in the morning after morning chores. That morning I decided to take a quick shower while the kids were watching cinderella. I came downstairs just to find cupcakes all over the place with one bite out of each of them. Lizzie was near tears saying she tried to stop Abby but that she just kept getting a new cupcake. So out of the 24 cupcakes there were 12 that had not been bitten into. So we decided to frost them all anyhow. Seriously I need to tie the chairs together or something so Abby will stop getting into things. She's such a turkey.
Abby was chewing on this beater trying to make sure she got it all off
Lizzie loves the rubber scraper she's really mastered cleaning off the bowl with it.

Happy St. Patrick's day to everyone. Just so you know that fluffy white frosting is great!
And what would a post be without our little happy guy. He's for sure getting a kick out of his sisters.
We blessed Will on Sunday and it was a fantastic day. We are so grateful for all the family that was able to make it out and celebrate our special little guy. Here's a few pic's unfortunately Abby was unwilling to sit in any of pictures but at least Will looks super cute. He's grown so much in the past 8 weeks he's nearly doubled his birth weight and has grown another 2 inches. i'm just hoping his dark hair sticks around.
I saw this cute picture online and had this idea of my two girls and Will but Abby just would not cooperate on Sunday so this picture will have to do.
Lizzie really loves her little brother and is such a big help. I just wonder how long till Will gets put in a dress...
Doesn't this picture say "Yes, I'm a little man." He's such a tough guy.
I love this picture! The blanket he was blessed in was made by my great-great grandmother for my dad on his blessing day. It's fully of amazing detail.
Wouldn't you know the only picture that was in focus of our family was this one. Abby had just barely ran out of the picture Will screaming his head off and Lizzie thinking she's just adorable. All in a day...
