Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will;
To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield.

Side Note:
The fork. or Also known as "A Dingle-hopper" Reminds me of one who not only had amazing hair (that I would pretend I had as I swam in our pool as a young girl) but also for me represents a young woman who loved learning about everything and anything. Who pushed past barriers and boundaries to find her place in this world. In this industry education is key and you are always always learning. Everyday! And with that requires perseverance to reach goals. The industry of beauty is all about testing, pushing and surpassing barriers and boundaries. This industry is truly SWEET!!!!

HI!!!!

So first and most importantly, Here I AM!!! :P
In my "Are you Army Strong?" T shirt. It's not very cute but it's comfy for packing.
Do you like my "not washed in 3 days" hair?
Update. I am now watching my niece Izzy. She's fun. However the 1st day was a nightmare. She "yelled" and pitched a fit for 3 hours. But after her nap, it was very enjoyable. And she's been doing great ever since. Today I had all the girls. Taty, Lyssa, Autumn and Izzy because there was no school. I'll get a cute group pic of them and post it later......(promises promises)
House stuff is dead in the water right now. We haven't decided on a rental, or packed and our auction date was last Saturday. For some reason Bran and I aren't in a complete mad dash, so we're just kind of doing the "let go and let God" sort of thing? We're seeing where the wind takes us I guess.
Brans been doing more work in Mexico unfortunately it's not enough for a paycheck (very technical) but, his specs in Mesa are going good, and besides the worry that they probably won't sell right now, if we could just get our draw from the bank; our stress level would drop a bit. Every time they delay a draw, Bran gets really antsy. He's worried that they will drop funding because of the market. And a bit ornery too.
I think thats it for now. Although, I'm hoping for a cat nap later:D

The pic that got deleted.

You're probably wondering "why this random pic.?"
Keep reading, you'll find out!
Dang Difficult Blog STUFF!!!!!!

Whats up with the boys.


So here's a run down of March till now all in "photo journal" format :P
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! HUNGRY???
This is what all the kids insisted on having for St. Patrick's Day. Green Eggs and Ham. The eggs look like the chicken were raised on radio active ground and we also put green food coloring in the brown sugar glaze that looked like baby poop. The potato's don't look too bad. Kinda like they were colored with a green marker. YUM O!!!

B A S E B A L L
JP and Beau sit'n in a tree............

This is the boys on opening day. It was a crazy! James had team pics at 9:45am, Branson at 11:30am. And in between we just hung out. Then at 1:30pm they had the Opening program, at 2pm was James 1st game and at 4pm was Branson's. We were so warn out by the time the day was over!!! And I ended up sunburned even thought I SPF 50'ed myself.

DANCE DANCE JAM

The boys rock'n out and shake'n in the family room. James tends to be drawn to shaking his butt, but Branson has some pretty good moves when no one is watching him.

And last but not least, MR. TROUBLE
Also known as Lion, Garbage pail kid, and my favorite (what Bran calls him)....
Hombre.
Here he is.......
SWEEPING
Brock loves brooms. He was always stealing mine so I bought him one of the dust devil play ones soon after this pic. If you try and take it away, he screams bloody murder! It's hilarious! I really want to get him the mop and vacuum too.

SLEEPING

There was a pic here but it got deleted by mistake and you all know how it goes....... I wasn't about to erase all that you've seen before this. How in the heck can you insert pics where you want! AHHHHH! So yes, this is the place where Brock sleeping standing up goes.

EATING
Brock LOVES tomato's! (just like his mommy)
Here he is eating one like an apple. (just like his mommy)

A promise forfilled

I just realized that I never finished my tag thing that I promised to continue like 2 weeks ago. Sorry all, everything right now is like bumper to bumper traffic. I need to make a list in order of priority and just go down it one thing at a time. But until I do that, here is the rest of my info from being tagged.

Snacks I enjoy:
1.I love love love Junior mints!!!! I can't live without them at the moment. I have to have a very large box in the house at all times. It's the one treat that I can have a few and be completely happy. I love to have them close when I'm reading my Twilight books.
I also love:
2.rice crispy treats
3. candy corn
4. licorice
5. sweet and salty chex mix, beef jerky, original and ranch corn nuts mixed together, strawberries, grapes, string cheese, green apples with motzarella cheese ( I got this one from Oprah) and ....... dark chocolate.

5 Things to Do On My List Today:
Well, there is a ton of things but I'll list the 5 (if I can) off the top of my head.
1. Start packing
2. Boys laundry and put clean laundry away
3. work out
4. shop for random things like, victoria secret bras (they have 2 for $40 and $44 right now) and their boyfriend sweatpants that I love, blingy flip flops, a straightener and new blowdryer ( I picked one of each up yesterday at Ulta but I don't love'm so I need to go exchange) cloths for Branden, shoes for me ( I don't need any persay but there are a ton I would love to buy), and Bath and Body's Honeysuckle lotion.... LOVE IT! And I love their cinnamint gloss too.
5. Make out with Bran. .............
I bet you're super glad you asked now!!!!

5 Things I would do with a billion dollars:
Bran and I were just talking about this last night.
1.We would buy some land. I'm thinking 3 acres here and 5 in Flagstaff. Build a comfy house and a cozy cabin. And a cute beach house in Mexico where Bran has his fun projects going.
2.I would love to do horse back riding lessons and have a horse and a lifted blue tahoe with a sunroof and would be able to do all the things that need to be done in a very short amount of time for my bead bracelets.
3.Put money away for missions, collage and schooling and then do all I can to help others. Sponser scholorships, missions, and such.
4.Also it would be awesome to randomely give someone a new car fully paid for with a loaded gas card, like a struggling single mom or a family who doesn't have a car because they can't afford one. The thing is there are a lot of things I'd like to splurg on but their not very lavish. The giving would be the funnest part. I love giving now, I just want to be able to give even more to help others along.

Make a diffrence and change the world.
5. Invest in Brans building and schooling dreams.


5 Bad Habits:
1. I sometimes interupt others when their talking.
2. I sometimes say things the wrong way ( But always know, if you thinking "how did she mean that? The possitive way or the other?" It's always the possitive way I promise you!!!! I don't like to make others feel sad or upset at all.)
3. I'm a picker. Bran always has to tell me to stop scratching the little bump on his arm or to stop picking at my face. I feel a bump and it has to go. NOT GOOD!!!
4. I over do it when working out and end up hurting myself which means I loose my groove. My most recent injury is shin splints. I was trying to be productive and run sprints. My shins didn't hurt when I walked by when I would run and my feet would hit the pavement.... OUCH!!! Like a pencil being jabbed right up my leg. So now, I can't even attempt to run with out pain.
5. I have a plan and I see point A and I know I want to get to B but how??? The baby steps trip me up a bit. I get overwhelmed by them. Does that make sence?

5 Places I have lived:
1.Mesa, Az
2.Las Vegas, Nv

3.Queen Creek, AZ
4.Gilbert, Az
5.And more AZ............ Wow exciting!!!! I have to say, I don't love Vegas but there are some of my most favorite people on the planet there! I love love love my Vegas Family.

5 Jobs I've Had:
1. Secretary for Sterling Spencer at Blue Ribbon Dental
2. Junior and misses Dept at Sears
3. Sales girl of Geppeddo dolls
4. worked at a flower shop for a week. ( they wanted me to do computer entry but I wasn't digg'n that. I wanted to work with the pretty flowers)
5. Nanny

5 Things people don't know about me:
Hahahha. This is funny because of my habit of loving to chat and share share share, most people know lots about me, and maybe more than they want to know. Let's see if I can think of some new things.
1. I love listening to new talk radio. Especially Glenn Beck and Mac on 92.3. I feel informed and sound smart when I pay attention to all the "issues"
GLENN BECK FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
2. I'm not a registered voter..... Boring I know!
3. I never could do a "real" push up till this last year, thanks to boot camp. I can't touch my nose to the floor mind you but I can go half way and do more than 1!!! Hey, it may not seem big but I'm proud of me! Again... BORING
4. I won't buy character clothing or shoes for my babies, like whinnie the pooh clothes, or thomas the train shoes, and such. I just don't dig the idea of it at all. It's only fun when they get older and know what they really like.
5. My favorite color is Green??? Did ya all know that???

Ok so this is me forfilling my previous 2 week old promise. Now let's see if I can get the other ones fullfilled soon enough for Shell who really wants pics.
I bet all of you prefer pics over my blabbing.
Love you all!!!

I walked barefoot

I went to confrence this weekend thanks to my great sister in law Shauna who had extra tickets to Saturday afternoon's session. It was beautiful and the spirit was ...... well, I was on the edge of very happy and greatful tears while sitting in the confrence center just before the session started. It was so cold that my calves cramped up on me, so I took off my shoes and walked barefoot. Funny enought, my feet were actually warmer on the pavement then in my wedges. I have some fun pics but my camera was left in Shaunas Tahoe. I'll get them posted soon........hopefully.
Lots of Love!!!!
