#8 Things people don't know about me.
1. I'll bet you didn't know about the bank thing! I was first accused of stealing it, but then they said they believed me, but I got fired anyway! I got so upset that I broke out in hives that night!
2. I loved to play war and ninja turtles when I was little! I even made a shell out of cardboard!
3. I failed my drivers test the first time - how humiliating is that??? She told me to take the next "available" right, so I did. Come to find out the word
"available" was the key word! I turned onto a one way street! I was nervous!

So there ya have it! I think everyone has been tagged for this one! If you haven't, then TAG your it!

My new FAVORITE toy!!!!

LOOKIE, LOOKIE at my new toy! I have to thank my new friend Cindi for selling it to me today for a FABULOUS price! (and to my mommy who spotted me the $$$ until payday!) I saw this buggy yesterday and I just knew it was meant for me! I have been on a hunt for quite sometime now for this exact kind! I LOVE! I had to take Rachel out to play with me - it got too dark, but I thought these ones were too cute! Hmmm...where on earth am I going to store this thing? I need a storage unit for all of my "crap" as Paul so kindly puts it!:)

This last one is a picture of rachel's outfit that nana made her for Christmas - she would wear those pants EVERY stinkin day if I would let her! She calls them her "nanna loves you pants." This is the only picture I could get from her today! She was FREEZING and was very worried about her polka dotted shoes getting dirty! I tried to talk her into wearing her boots - NO GO!:)

I am having technical difficulties!

I am getting so annoyed!!!! Our internet is only working for 2 min. at a time! I am sorry for those of you waiting to see your gallery - we are trying to solve this problem (it has been going on for 3 days now) ASAP!

I also wanted to tell you all thanks so much for all the phone calls to check in on our sweet little emily! She is doing so much better...a little grumpy, but at least she's awake and alert, right???? I sure have the best friends and family ever - thanks again!
Hopefully I can post again soon with some pictures!

I was up for the challenge!

These 4 little peas were the cutest things ever! I know...I say that a lot, but I have to admit I was bit afraid of the challenge of photographing 4 kids at once! They were the best behaved children I have ever had in my home! Not one time did we have crying or whining! LOVED IT!:) I promised mommy a peek, but only a peek - I want there to be some excitement with her gallery!
I wanted to thank everyone for your comments on "NILMDTS" - I think I will wait and see what happens with Paul's job that he tested for before I commit to doing it! You guys are right... I take on too much sometimes!
I also wanted to thank everyone for checking up on us this past week. Some of you know that emily got really sick and has pnuemonia (ignore my spelling!)
She gave us a good scare, but is doing so much better today! I know many prayers were going on in her behalf and I truly believe that is why she is recovering so quickly!
She popped right up this morning and poked me in the eye and said, "HI!" - I think she's back - THANK GOODNESS!!!!

What should I do?

I know I just posted yesterday, but I feel like I need some opinions from those of you who know me BEST! I have been invited several times to join an AMAZING program called Now I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP, I received another invitation this morning. If I decide to join I would be asked to take pictures of babies and children who are dying or have died. the website is amazing, but be sure that you have a box of tissues nearby before you view it! Every time I have been asked I feel this STRONG urge to join, but i let my emotions talk me out of it. I know I would be good, because I feel like I am a compassionate person and I LOVE babies and children, but that is just the problem...Do you think it would be too hard emotionally? I am just torn. I have always been taught to share the gifts and talents that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with, I just don't know if I could handle it. What do you guys think? I have no idea how to put the link on here! www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org

Mommy is losing her patients!!!!

Can i just vent for a moment? Well, I am anyway!!!! I am so sick of my kids being sick! We have had one sick kid after another since Christmas morning! Saturday night Rachel woke up as sick as a dog, she couldn't stop coughing. Her body was burning up and she couldn't stop shaking! She hasn't stopped whining in days! I wish there is something i could do for her, if she feels anything like she looks, it's pretty darn bad. Well, last night Emily woke up and the whole entire story repeats itself! My friend called and told me that RSV is going around in our ward, Rachel & Emily have all the signs. GREAT.
I gave the lesson in Young Womens yesterday and we talked about the MANY rolls women have. The list could seriously go on forever! I am feeling overwhelmed with all the rolls I have as a mommy and wife. I haven't had sleep in days, my house is a bomb,I need to get to the grocery store to figure out dinners for the week, the sickies are in constant need of their "mama", but I only have two arms! Paul has been so helpful this weekend, but unfortunately he can't stay home from work, and there must just be something special about a mommy's touch, they seem to want only me.
Well, last night when our show was interupted with BREAKING NEWS about dear Pres. Hinckley, I was so sad. I have always adored him! I didn't realize how sad Zach was until he said his prayer. This is what he said....
" Please bless Pres. Hinckley and all of his helpers...oh wait!!!! He died." Then he burst into tears again! What a sweet little boy. I hope he will always have a tender heart. I explained to him that Pres. Hinckley is happy and so glad to see his wife. I think that helped a little.
I will stop the rambling for now! I did want to thank you all for all the sweet comments you leave on my blog! It always makes my day and keeps me wanting to continue my photography - especially when I feel like giving up! {{{{hugs}}}

Happiness is...

A SQUISHY little peanut! Thats just what she was! I just wanted to squeeze her!
