25 random things about me

So EVERYONE is doing this and i thought hmmm maybe I should join in the fun.

1. I come from a blended family so i have 4 parents and 13 siblings (8 step brothers 2 1/2 brothers 1 blood brother 1 step sister and 1 1/2 sister)
2. I have lived in Utah my whole life, most of which was spent in Utah county.
3. I want to move out of Utah for at lest a little while, I would like my kids to get a taste of what it is to live outside of here
4. I hate to clean, i really just can not stand to spend time cleaning! So my rule is i will keep my living room clean we pick it up every night, that way if people come over there is an area that is presentable. I will clean the other areas when i feel like it :)
5. I could care less about HDTV and Blue ray. I have seen movies and TV shows on them and I just don't think its that much cooler, i really do not need to see how Morgan Freeman is aging
6. I love working, but at the same time HATE being away from Jackie and my home.
7. I am starting to be okay McDonalds (shhh don't tell Derek) its the only place that has a play place that Jackie can play in with out our help so we have taken her there a lot this winter so she can play and get her energy out because lets face it our apt is too small to do that
8. I am a horrible lair.
9. I also have a fear of the dentist
10. I hate driving, i love being the passenger
11. I hate that i live so far from my mom
12. I LOVE my DVR and really do not know how i will ever watch TV again with out it, if i am ever watching "live" TV i get so frustrated that i can not fast forward through the commercials. I figure watching TV on a DVR saves time because you don't spend time watching all the junk you don't want to watch :)
13.I have an irrational fear of Doctors and spiders. It took everything inside of me to handle going to the doctor monthly while prego with Jackie, I have no idea how i am going to be able to handle it with this one...I just plain don't like them.....don't even get me started on spiders
14. I only knew Derek for 2 months when he proposed and we were married a month later
15. I would rather spend my mornings playing with Jackie then taking the time to do my hair fancy so it usually ends up in a bun of some sorts.
16. I absolutely love to cook, I love that i can just throw things together and they always work
17. I hate recipes and never really use them
18. I love cooking for people and having people over for dinner! It just gets really expensive so we don't do it as often as I would like, but if you want to come over some time let me know!
19. I played the violin in high school, but i have not really touched it much since then so i don't know if i can still play it
20. I am not a paranoid person or mother and i figure Jackie has only been sick once in her life so I figure what is the point about stressing out even more.
21. I am a food snob, since I love to cook (and i think i am pretty good) I hate it when people don't put time and love into their cooking
22. I always try to find the good in a situation
23. I always try to see something from the other persons side sometimes this drives Derek crazy, but i always want to give people the benefit of the doubt
24. I married the best man in the world for me and have loved every minute if marriage
25. I love Mexican food :)

OKAY EVERYONE! get on it and do it if you have not already! I want to learn all about you guys!

They grow up to fast

I cant believe getting her to sleep in a big girl bed would be so easy! She did figure out how to get around the rail and climb out, she came out twice i put her right back in and before I knew it I had a sleeping baby...or big girl. I don't quite know what to call her anymore.....All i know is she will always be my baby, and she is growing up WAY to fast!

UPDATE: She made it through the whole night! She came in my room this morning when she woke up as happy as could be, i think she liked the freedom.....we shall see if she will do it again

I just have to brag

Today was Jackie's 18 month check up and the doc was floored by how advanced she is and by everything she is doing! He was mostly impressed by her talking abilities! She even had a conversation with the doc while we were there. He came in and said Hi she said, "hi" he asked how are you today she said, "good" he asked if she has been good for mama and she said, "yes" lol. He told me that she just seems like the perfect kid, she is way above all the developmental mile stones and she was perfect while the doc was looking at her and did what ever he asked! She only cried for a second when she got her shoots.

We were in the dinosaur room, and I was teaching her about the dinosaurs and she said dinaor, after her shoots they got dinosaur band aids and kept pointing to them telling me dinaor

She was 32.5 inches long which is the 75.86%
She was 25.13Lbs. which is the 63.59
and her head came in at 19 in. which is 90.62% lol poor girl has always had a big head but hey its coming down from the 99% she started in ;)

What me and Derek are up to ;)

I know always blog about Jackie so i thought i would update you guys on me and Derek lol

We are doing great! Derek is finishing up his last semester in school, witting here and there for the Daily Herold and playing hockey for BYU! He is always busy and running around trying to get everything done, we don't see too much of each other right now, but its nice to know come April he will be done with school!! He is starting to look around for jobs after he is done which is an exciting scary adventure for us!
As for me, I am doing great! Just working and trying to make sure we get some good family time in! Work is going pretty good they have laid off a few people but assure me I am safe, but its still a little scary, you just never know what can happen. Besides that everything is great :) As you can tell my blogged got pimped again by Jenn! THANKS JENN!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is doing great! Just remember to always Smile and be happy :)

• She loves to play ring around the rosies
• she loves Hanndy Manny
• She knows all the tools by name and will talk to us about them all the time
  
• She will occasionally ask us to go to the bath room, i have been told by some i should not even try and she is too young to be potty trained but hey, if she is asking me to use the bathroom OF COURSE i am going to let her, the thought of not having to buy dipars or change them sounds good:)
• She is a great eater! She loves salads and if i ever have one she will come up by me and eat it with me!
  
• She thinks quesadilas should have tomatoes or salsa on them and if they do not she asks me for dip
  
• She loves chips and salsa, she will even eat salsa by the spoon fulll
• She loves peper on her food-i decided early on i did not want a kid who would not eat something because peper was on it-she always eats what we eat, and peper is on our food so its on hers.
  
• She can say love you
  
• she loves to call my mom on the video phone and always asks me to call grama

• she loves to play
  
• she loves to kiss dada and to not kiss me
• she still loves her bottle, a habit that will be broken soon that i am not excited to break
• She loves to say prayer. Nnow after story she says, "prayer" then folds her arms and says "evenly father" then bables for a minute and says "amen". She then unfolds her arms looks at us and relaizes we are still praying so folds her arms again and waits for us to say amen then she says it again!
  

Well there are some things she is doing now, I can not even express how much i love being Jackies mom!! My heart has grown so much since she has come into my life, its a love i do not even know how to express. But i love her with all my heart. I was once asked if i regrated not waiting longer to have her, my response is i would do it all over again with out even taking a breath. I would not change a thing. I love her so much, I love our life with her in it. She brings so much joy and laughter in to our home. She has such a sweet sprit that i know blesses us and our home. I love her little hugs, and when i can sneak a kiss from her, i love talking to her on the phone and hearing how excited she gets to hear from mom. I love when i come home from work and she just starts smiling and laughing.
I love how she is develpoing a personality that is all her own, and how much she is learning and growing.
Motherhood is amazing, and i am so thankfull for the trust the Lord has put in me to allow me to be a mother!

Blessings always come!

I love that blessings always come into our life's! I have been really worried lately about what to do about insurance for Jackie because its SO expensive through my work! Well i guess its normal for insurance but that's a lot of money for us right now as we are trying to get Derek though school. I was told about another option that bases payments off what you make, and I was able to get it for her! Now i can relax and not stress out so much, she will be covered and we can afford it. :) I really am thankful for our health care system here in the U.S. and the help its been to us while we have been in college!

Jackies new game

My sweet daughter Jackie has come up with a new game, its called not kissing mama. If i ask her for a kiss she will do EVERYTHING in her power to try to get away. Before bed time she gives Derek big kisses but when its my turn she runs away or turns her head to try and get out of it. Meanwhile she is laughing her head off. Her new thing is when i ask her for a kiss she turns to me puts her finger in the air and says, "NO!"
Lol she thinks its funny, Derek thinks its funny, I miss my kisses! haha oh well its kinda funny and its fun to see her getting a personality and learning how to be a little prankster!
