My sisters, Mom and Andrea gave me the best shower with amazing food, friends and gifts! I even got a FUN surprise visit when Suzanne showed up totally unexpected! It was such fun :) Three days after my shower and 4 weeks early, Miss Ella Mae Johnson decided to make her entrance, and a grand one that is! After emergency gallbladder surgery and a horrific (to say the least) labor and delivery, I gave birth to my beautiful, perfect baby girl on 5/14/2010! For being 4 weeks early she did great! She was born on a Friday and we got to go home on Sunday.. that seems like a short stay you ask? NO.. Mommy had been in the hospital since the Tuesday before, so I was ready to go home!!!!<br /><br />- June: Was a pretty chilled out month, I got to be home with the kids so that was wonderful! We made a little trip to Vegas to see Grandma and Grandpa Johnson, Aunt Leslie and family, and Joey and Andrea.. they all got to meet Ella for the first time! It was a fun trip.. we got to swim with the Motts and hang out with family, and even have fight night with Les and her family... quick and fun! Jeff also started summer school this month.. needless to say, NEVER AGAIN will anyone in this house do summer school :) This month, we also got Ellas newborn pictures and family pictures done.. I think both turned out great!!!<br /><br />-July: 3rd, we wer able to go to Trevors baptism in Vegas and while we were there, we blessed ella at the same time. It was so fun to have the whole family there, including the Johnson's to share our day! That night, we joined in on fight night at Leslie and Brads and ate lots of good food and enjoyed lots of good company! On the 4th of July, we went to the parade and had a BBQ and fireworks that night, nothing too grand, but fun enough for us! On the 20th of July, I went back to work part time.. Its been hard, but such is life, right??!<br /><br /><br />-August: has brought us HOT weather and lots of summer days by the pool! We swim almost everyday! We celebrate my parents birthdays this month. I am so grateful for them and their presence in my kids life! I am so fortunate to have aging parents in good health! I dont know what my kids would do without them.. or me too for that matter! Jeff and I start back at school this next week.. He is continuing his nursing and I am headed for the dental Hygiene program.. it will be a long road to hoe, but in the end I am assured it will be worth it!<br /><br />One last thing... I want to take a little space and focus on my little precious boy... JJ is the BOMB! I love this kid with all of my heart, in fact, my heart is overfilled with love when I look at him. So much attention has been on Ella these last couple months, and this kid has just joined in on the love and attention towards her! He has not showed one ounce of jealousy towards her, he loves her as much as I do I think! He is so protective and loving and thinks the world of her.. He is such a special spirit, and I just marvel at the fact that Heavenly Father found me worthy to care for and raise him. I can only hope I do this kid justice, he is truely one in a million!!!!<br /><br />As for my Ella girl.. I never thought I would want a girl. And then I saw her! She is my whole world! I cannot remember life without her, everytime I look at her I am floored at her beauty.. her big eyes, her sweet lips and her HUGE spirit! She was surely sent straight from the loving arms of our Heavenly Father! I cannot wait to see who she becomes, I know she has one awesome big brother to help her along the way!!<br /><br />Thats all for now.. I would really like to see myself get better at posting, I really want this to be a journal for my children one day to look back on and see all of the fun ( and not so fun )things our family has done! Followed are all the pictures that go along with the above :) Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 258px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 258px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508351616824591586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDOF_UGdbwp2pyjS3bUatfGcg1MvtSfmDT4-LXNsITshSkzXX5CwtgbnGmJHWz7dcFzvfKx3RFzxvRXjYlyWpBwzENdoJtr75-eY5kd_BKLIoCzMdWN61Eeb3Mi9kdK_XIzAfBFuiivfY/s320/jj+swing.jpg" /> <div></div><div> I just love that kid up there :)</div><div> Precious Ella's newborn pictures...</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ktGbTMK4KIND4kTFoV2SbtBylJzVOrpSOVfCxc87JF4X3lUaPW4FL6C5uHZwhDWqG52aM6xiKbmFmJv2Mf-qpXuPryj_Tq3bMStJhmwYS7nb9hyMT07kjoVYpvfYRYwJB4LjYBP5GF8/s1600/112.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We think so. Ella Mae Johnson is the name of the newest edition we will welcome around June 2, 2010 (Or May if she loves her mama!!). I wanted to put it in writing to make it official, and I think this will do the trick. There is a sweet story behind this name, how it came about, and why I think it has a 'special' ring to it...<br /><br />Back in January, Jeff and I were up in the air about names... we could NOT agree on anything! For my birthday in Jan, Joey and Andrea came up to play for the weekend. Of course while here, Andrea and I were playing on the computer and started talking about names... what they want to name their next one (which better happen soon.. we need our kids close together in age :)), to what we were going to name this one... We were saying every name in the book... Brooklyn, Brinley, Rikki, blah blah blah. I was stuck on the middle name of Mae after my momma. Her middle name is Mae, so I wanted that to be for her... All of a sudden, it just rolled off Andreas tounge and it was decided instantly. Ella Mae Johnson.<br /><br />This baby girl is a pretty special little bond between the motts and us :) Joey and Andrea were here visiting for Jeffs bday when I peed on the stick and found out she was on her way! Then, they were here when we chose her name, and even had a part in it :)<br /><br />After we had decided for sure what her name was, I took it to mom and dad.. At first I got a little stink face from Mom, becuase she HATES her middle name, but I dont care.. And she wasnt too sure on Ella.. but it grew on them quick :) While I was there, my dad told me the story of my grandmother (his mom). Her name was Alice Ella Campbell. Her whole life, she wanted nothing more than a grand baby named after her. Dad said NO ONE was going to name their daughter Alice, and no one ever named their daugheters Ella. The closest she got to her wish was my sister Lisa, whos name is Alicia (the spanish Alice).So Grandma died before I was even born, with no Alice. And no Ella.<br /><br />So, unknowingly, this new baby girl will have a namesake of two generations of beatiful, strong women. Her Great Grandma Campbell, and her Grandma Campbell.<br /><br />Now, you tell me that name doesnt have a special ring to it :)<br /><br />We can't wait to meet you little miss Ella Mae!Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-73179467974860282422010-01-25T12:33:00.000-08:002010-01-25T13:17:13.040-08:00It's A GIRL!!!So, most everyone already knows that A) I am preggo and B) Shes a GIRL! But, I still, for my family's memory, want to make sure I document all about this pregnancy...<br /><br />Its been a rough one so far! I am 20 weeks and still puking. Still tired. Still nauseated all the time. And pretty much feel like I am stuck in my first trimester :) But, I have resorted to the fact that every pregnancy is different, and this one will just be hard! It is OK though becuase Im sure that cute and precious little face will make it all worth it...<br /><br />Now, on to the fact that 'she' is, in fact, a girl.. I have to say I am really more excited than I thought I would be. I always saw myself as the mom of all boys, so I never really thought about what it would be like to have a girl. Being a girl myself, you would think I would be comfortable with having one! But contrary to what you might have thought, I am scared to death! I really dont know why, but having a daughter is so crazy! I am so excited, though.. I was actually REALLY excited when the ultra sound tech said "ITS A GIRL!"<br /><br />This will be such a fun adventure, and I am SO excited to see Jeff with a little girl.. plus I can't wait to see what she looks like.. will she look like daddy? me? her big brother? Hopefully her big brother.. he is beautiful!<br /><br />Speaking of JJ, he is going to be such a good big brother! We still havent quite conviced him that she is a girl, but he will soon find out that he is not having a brother!! And by the way.....<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">JJ IS POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br />We are SO proud if him.. He has been a tough one and really stubborn about it, but one day he woke up and he decided that he wanted to be a big boy and not wear pull ups anymore, so he just did it! We went and bought him some awesome spiderman and Trandformers undies, and away he grew :( He still wears pull ups and night, which he is not happy about at all, so we have to comprimise and put his underwear OVER the pull ups.. I told him one day he will be able to wear big boy undies at night time, but not until he can wake up at night and go potty. Needless to say, we are very proud of our big boy!!<br /><br />Jeff is officially a college student. He is at school 5 days and week and works 40 hrs (AND MORE) a week, and he is in Young Mens! He is one busy boy ;) We are so proud of him and what is he sarificing for our family. He is such a good example to our kids and neices and nephews and even the boys at church. Those boys LOVE him and I think he feels the same!<br /><br />I finally got a calling. I am over the womens sports in the ward. So that has me pretty busy two or three nights a week. I also recently got my hours cut at work, which has turned to be a blessing. It has taken a lot of stress off of me, and I feel like I have time to actually be a momma and a wifee :)<br /><br />All in all we are doing so good.. BUSY, but good! We are just trying to keep up with day to day life and still remember that being with each other as a family is the most important thing, so we are really making an effort to have weekly Family Home Evening, JJ is finally old enough (HES OUR BIG SUNBEAM NOW!!) to know what a lesson is, and I think it is a really good thing for our family right now with how hectic our schedules are. Thats all for now...Happy Blogging!<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span>Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-35798391126485884852009-12-14T20:34:00.000-08:002009-12-14T22:35:26.397-08:00A Long Time Comin'......<div>I really cant believe how long it has been since I have updated our blog.. But today is the day! We have been up to so much since Sept. I will attempt to play catch up through photos! I will start here with the most recent happenings...<br /><br /><br />We went to my parents ward party and got to see Santa! JJ was so cute, I was so proud of how brave he was and went right up to Santa and told him exactly what he wanted for Christmas, which actually turned out to be a funny story...<br />So, JJ sits on Santa's lap and tells him that he wants a Transformer for Christmas, as usual, Santa just nods his head and tells him to be a really good boy. Well, that is just not good enough for this cute son of mine.. He gets off Santa's lap and stands there. Santa tells him to get his candy cane and have a Merry Christmas, and JJ says (with his hand reached out) "I SAID I wanted a Transformer, where is it?" We left the room and he said "Mom, I asked Santa to give me a transformer and he didnt even give it to me!" I think we need to explain this Christmas thing a little more in detail!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkiudw0y9QZuPAhRKWuxLksGr8J8Zv91gizxj-_Te-dUXhjwoAHnN6QPDjfpaNFTFFIzeJ7i9PdY9Mu0_jHgdVDtQp-vjUqGfJmyBrZDoAgPhyphenhyphenpGINjJWoQaPxd5HkImLVAYMSQ0C9trc/s1600-h/lenzi+232.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415323973869192258" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkiudw0y9QZuPAhRKWuxLksGr8J8Zv91gizxj-_Te-dUXhjwoAHnN6QPDjfpaNFTFFIzeJ7i9PdY9Mu0_jHgdVDtQp-vjUqGfJmyBrZDoAgPhyphenhyphenpGINjJWoQaPxd5HkImLVAYMSQ0C9trc/s320/lenzi+232.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This is a true JJ photo op.

We got to spend it with the entire (well almost) family! We were left without the company of Ronny and Sherry and fam, which was a big bummer, but we got to enjoy the 5 of us siblings together! Ricky, Robin and kids came out from Oklahoma with the three little ones. We had Jason and Ricky and Michelle. Robert, Tonya and kids, Leslie Brad Zoe and Trevor, and of course Lisa Shane and kids.. and us four. And of course Mom and Dad. It was such a fun weekend, I am so grateful for the family I have been blessed with, and wish I could be with them all a WHOLE lot more!<br /><br />Here is JJ playing in the leaves Uncle Shane was raking on Thanksgiving Day....<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vhBqwVV9DmOKAP2LedxPWG30WIfkaGRWzktP9hrBQ60K2fFkzj6aKtPj1wv6AVnRiFEhkReep423SDZJ_wgWNdJROPtUqiLTLchDpMgIHAHbL0Xgp23v7jv_Mh6QJOCEnaiJl50sEnE/s1600-h/lenzi+218.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415323048209594498" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vhBqwVV9DmOKAP2LedxPWG30WIfkaGRWzktP9hrBQ60K2fFkzj6aKtPj1wv6AVnRiFEhkReep423SDZJ_wgWNdJROPtUqiLTLchDpMgIHAHbL0Xgp23v7jv_Mh6QJOCEnaiJl50sEnE/s320/lenzi+218.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />For Halloween this year, we got to go down and spend it with Les and Brad and their family. We had such a good time, and it was a fun thing to do something different and spend a holiday down there with them. JJ was Batman and Kyli was a fairy bat. They had so much fun. We got to go around Les and Brad's neighborhood, and the kids got some major loot! JJ ate his candy for two weeks! While we were down, we also got to have a homemade breakfast with Joey, Andrea and Jackson. Courtesy of Joey the cook! Man it was amazing, I will forever crave those potatoes Joey! After we went trick or treating, we were treated to dinner by Ed and Terrie with the Johnson Clan at Chapala, and my was it was the perfect ending to such a great weekend with family! We got home pretty late, and this little guy was out the whole time!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETHDdV9yBAKJkyH6UZfCBbL-qKLi8bcvac2HVT0GXRjHFQ6UXCZDFW_AmvbWw85e_6DtIuhmXUcbT98nDQFDy9f2L7yjBeNuXHNU0FrAyCIY6ku9s7yBu3grli57FlydlgrkXU6X1jaE/s1600-h/lenzi+216.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415323036154998498" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiETHDdV9yBAKJkyH6UZfCBbL-qKLi8bcvac2HVT0GXRjHFQ6UXCZDFW_AmvbWw85e_6DtIuhmXUcbT98nDQFDy9f2L7yjBeNuXHNU0FrAyCIY6ku9s7yBu3grli57FlydlgrkXU6X1jaE/s320/lenzi+216.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />About a month or so ago, we had a big mishap in our home.. One evening JJ was being a little naughty (I know, can you believe it??). He got himself into a little trouble and stomped upstairs in a huff, slammed his bedroom door, and locked it. About 2.5 seconds later, we heard a roof crashing thud and ran upstaiars as fast as we could. At that point, all I could hear was blood curdling screams and JJ pleading for me to get him out and help him (every mothers WORST nightmare). We were stuck and couldnt get it! As soon as we rounded up a comb and got into the room, we found that his 80 pound dresser on top of him and all I could see was his left hand trying to get free. Between the screams and the cries, Jeff lifted the dresser just enough so I could get him out. The first thing I checked were for teeth and blood. Everything seemed in place, so we moved on to comforting him! He was so shaken up and scared. Thank God he was OK and nothing major happened to him, it could have turned out so much worse. He looked pretty beat up and had blood blisters on his little face and arms where the drawers pinched him. He sported a black eye and some bumps for a couple days, but all was ok...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkUbyvg9h0RNciFpGjyc9TZNz4v65NoYTk1MhfSvLe-pHcF85UqZ1Kdj6edLorDPhGjtIvUOiBEHMytUuq2CnAZ4qi64gZT2UcdQKHBFIx5Bp8r7Rfk-R1wZhu1nMexaDh0KJ76BkmvI/s1600-h/lenzi+215.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415323030609044258" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkUbyvg9h0RNciFpGjyc9TZNz4v65NoYTk1MhfSvLe-pHcF85UqZ1Kdj6edLorDPhGjtIvUOiBEHMytUuq2CnAZ4qi64gZT2UcdQKHBFIx5Bp8r7Rfk-R1wZhu1nMexaDh0KJ76BkmvI/s320/lenzi+215.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wQ3tM8v46Chjxmlmd5Bp8Vy2V3Rw8OzFavqCm_0K6MADYMaFBWZknB8uEobOpCOImQeHMycDv-NGWjDjsXeienJRjF8tfzH6KB2U2stXth4K9X03j5EAE7girHgzMW81TRTfoI3xjZM/s1600-h/lenzi+214.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415322098173001170" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wQ3tM8v46Chjxmlmd5Bp8Vy2V3Rw8OzFavqCm_0K6MADYMaFBWZknB8uEobOpCOImQeHMycDv-NGWjDjsXeienJRjF8tfzH6KB2U2stXth4K9X03j5EAE7girHgzMW81TRTfoI3xjZM/s320/lenzi+214.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />For Jeffs birthday in October, Joey and Andrea and Jackson came up for some par-tay-n.. This one turned out to be an interesting one! We went to Sushi on Friday night ( FABULOUS!) and then went to a haunted house for Jeffs bday, we had such a blast. It was the scariest haunted house ever, Andrea was out of control scared I thought at one point she may have peed her pants! On Friday, we met up with Kim Bryan and kiddos and visited Staheli Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. Tons of fun, the boys had to much fun and JJ got to ride a horse for the first time! Then Friday night, Andrea and I decided to make some spooky halloween cakes and treats for Jeff bday party and Trentons baptism the next day. Were were talking about how we had been feeling lately and she said "lenzi you are so pregnant..lets go get a test!" So Joey and Jeff went to Lins and came home bearing pee sticks. Wouldnt ya know, I peed on that stick and it told me I was prego! We went to the dr about a week later and low and behold we are due June 9,2010 with little Johnson number 2!!!! It was fun cause everyone was there at the baptism when I got to tell them what I got Jeff for his birthday!<br /><br /><br /><div><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExUm30DhADUmO568ze0P78iv_FdleuIngjVMbGBsjewp5G_jP3aJCvkNFE7YA3MUNyK7GZ6xYxfk9TPVMhF_ab8Tsvpx-qaElj6CPfC_mCF-CxQI0LGkrPhda1yd9jYrI7wH7lDdqMbE/s1600-h/lenzi+210.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415322077384107570" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExUm30DhADUmO568ze0P78iv_FdleuIngjVMbGBsjewp5G_jP3aJCvkNFE7YA3MUNyK7GZ6xYxfk9TPVMhF_ab8Tsvpx-qaElj6CPfC_mCF-CxQI0LGkrPhda1yd9jYrI7wH7lDdqMbE/s320/lenzi+210.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9Eo0TVVd68BJ6CO1OIbNZgHghIa1PQEFO2q_ApX0Pvvqbf2tTrjzyCA4bNh-3Z1DETBrVkSxCKyvuHPpiM-J37TvbJutJkAse51qja83a6_rR3mMWJBB7wPTGnMiX87dZ7FH9qNkfR8/s1600-h/lenzi+208.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415322069342028722" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9Eo0TVVd68BJ6CO1OIbNZgHghIa1PQEFO2q_ApX0Pvvqbf2tTrjzyCA4bNh-3Z1DETBrVkSxCKyvuHPpiM-J37TvbJutJkAse51qja83a6_rR3mMWJBB7wPTGnMiX87dZ7FH9qNkfR8/s320/lenzi+208.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMBkQzbOmfAUzzlWoczHkDQHeG8kHW02e7jOJ6nn5ITJ0-PiCBwtgauA1_Zz3EbFzKz1Q2MoQhWPbFDpb9I52KyQL818jc8Fbk_ITPNmO7vM_cZaO_KytrxIzRnoZMe47qN3SBgwWqZc/s1600-h/lenzi+207.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415321101287627794" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMBkQzbOmfAUzzlWoczHkDQHeG8kHW02e7jOJ6nn5ITJ0-PiCBwtgauA1_Zz3EbFzKz1Q2MoQhWPbFDpb9I52KyQL818jc8Fbk_ITPNmO7vM_cZaO_KytrxIzRnoZMe47qN3SBgwWqZc/s320/lenzi+207.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I just thought this pumpkin looke like a butt.

I just had to take the time (at work, of course) to just do a post.. a small update! No pictures today as I am doing this in my spare time at work, but lots to tell...<br /><br /> We are official members of our new ward, and its only been two weeks and we already love it! We have been so warmly welcomed and invited...so warm that Jeff already got a calling haha... (I will get one now that I am teasing him, I know it).. He got called to be the varsity coach in young men's to the 14-15 year old boys. I think he will be so awesome at this new calling, and lucky for him the guy over him is a HUGE scout, so they have some pretty adventurous stuff planned! He will be teaching once a month on Sundays, which I think will be GREAT for him. The only sad part is now I lose my Sunday School partner in crime..but then again, who knows how long I will be going to Sunday School with my new calling Jeff is convinced I am getting next Sunday!<br /><br /> WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! WAHOO!!! It ended up being a short sale of course. It was about 60K less that we owed. Yes, that is how much we lost in ONE YEAR. In 2008 we bought the house with equity, YES I said WITH EQUITY! It was a long hard road of 5 sale fall thru's. Just when we were about to give up, the Lord answered our prayers with a motivated cash buyer. We closed in less than a week from the offer!<br /><br /> We have done some fun stuff lately, so I will try and sum it all up...<br /><br /> In August, we went on a hike in Zions with my brother and sister in law. It was tons of fun, the kids came along too. We had ice cream in the park and ate at a creepy restaurant in Virgin, UT... Once in a lifetime experience that was :)<br /><br /> For Peach Days this year we were graced with the presence of Joey and Andrea and Jack for a FUN filled weekend of food and late night games ( including Andreas major CHEATING on Scattergories!!) Haha Love ya girl! We had SO much fun with them and cant wait till they come up again next weekend for Jeff's big b-day weekend and plates full of Sushi :)<br />PS.. Andrea, I am STILL waiting for pictures, I will give you till the weekend, then I am gonna kick your butt hehe....<br /><br /> Jeff turns the big 3-3 on Octover 10th... We are planning and fun dinner out and maybe a little party bbq for him on Monday the 12th... We are also going to visit the Staheli Farms Pumpkin Patch with the kiddos.. And if plans go our way we will celebrate with our awesome friends. And maybe even a shopping trip to Downeast Basics home store, just for you Andrea! I want some cute cheap home decorations :)<br /><br /> October 15-18, Jeff gets to go on a vacation with his dad and brother to California to see my nephew graduate Marine boot camp. It will be an awesome trip for them. They are taking dad to their home town of Yucaipa, Ca. and just coasting the highway together. Jeff is so excited to spend some quality time with them and just have a fun boys weekend. Me on the other hand will be starting my second round of HCG, and be home all alone with the little man....<br /><br /> Speaking of HCG, I just finished a 25 day round and lost 20 pounds! I can't wait till the next round so I can get skinny for the Holidays.. only to get chunky again on mamas Thanksgiving stuffing! Really, it was a challenging diet, but I endured and it was so worth it!<br /><br /> Now, for the most important thing yet.... And update on my little man JJ..<br /><br />He is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me.. I do not know what I would do without him in my life, he is my reason for living! Here are some things about JJ at 2 years and 10 months ( YES, he will be 3 in two months!!!)<br /><br />- He is obsessed with Transformers and Coraline<br />- He is the funniest kid I have ever met, really I have never been around a funnier kid. No joke!<br />- He has a bit of a potty mouth and seems to like the word b-hole. I cannot figure out where he heard it from. Its a little embarassing to admit, but it friggin' hilarious cause he doesn't say the word he actually says "B-Hole".. Really??? Who taught this kid!<br />- He loves evening walks with mom and dad, I think its his favorite time of day.<br />- He is going to be Batman for Halloween, his choice.<br />- He loves mac'n'cheese.<br />- He loves his mommy... But he LOVES his daddy. Just the way daddy thinks it should be.<br />- He loves to mow the lawn on the tractor with papa.<br />- He only goes to nursery because they have tractors. Which is ok with me.<br />- Everytime we see a tractor, he yells "Mommy, there's a tractor! Im gonna drive a tractor when I be a Farm" (Meaning he wants to be a farmer).<br />- He loves to play at Lisa's and Gama's and Gampa's while mommy works.<br />- He comes into mommy and daddy's bed every night at 3am. But goes to bed in his own bed like a big boy at bedtime.<br />- He has no bed time, he stays up every night with mommy and daddy watching movies and eating popcorn :)<br />- He is the light of everyones life around him, this kid has so much love given to him, he will be filled up forever.<br />- He gives the best hugs and kisses and gives so much love! He has the sweetest lips and LOVES to just cuddle.<br />- He self declares proudly that " I am mommy's baby, but I am daddy's bog boy"<br /><br />What would I do without this kid?!?! Someday we hope for number two..but for now, I just relish in the moments I have with this little guy!<br /><br />Thats all for now.. I will be back very soon with some pictures to go with all our fun things that have been going on ( HINT HINT Andrea!)....Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-41077931963902894682009-08-11T11:07:00.001-07:002009-08-11T11:11:16.127-07:00Dear Blog,We are alive.

To the man who sang and performed the worlds most popular music..To the man who can be identified before the 2nd note of any on of his songs... To the wierdee who hung his kids over a balcony and dressed them all, as well as himself, in the most popular middle eastern fashions... To the man who loved children (which, usually got him into a little trouble)... To the man who was born with a nose, and died without one..

JEFF GOT A JOB! Wahoo :) He is working at a Rehabilitation and Senior Care Center called Kolob. I think he will really like it there, and it is a good place to be when you want to go to shool for Nursing because they offer tuition reimbursment!<br /><br />2. Jeff passed his state exams for his CNA and he is now officially certified!.. Now onto LPN!<br /><br />3. There is an awesome preschool here in town and the teacher has decided to start a 3 year old class this Fall. Even though JJ won't be 3 until December, she has agreed to take him and I am SO excited for him, I think he will do so good, and have so much fun! I am really excited for him to be around other kids and be more social.<br /><br />4. We are also in potty training mode! Not very many accidents, only 2 in 3 days :) He looks so dang cute in his little boxer briefs. Dad wont let him wear briefs, he says they are girly and look like panties haha.. I will get some pics of him in his cute boxers, he is so proud of them and loves to wear them! He still has yet to do numero dos, but he has been promised a HUGE present from Grandma and Grandpa, and a pool in our new backyard from mom and dad... Wouldn't <em>that</em> make <em>you</em> dookie?!?!?!!?<br /><br />Thats about all for the fun stuff.. Here are a couple pics from our recent park pic-nic.... This kid is so dang handsome.. Hes gonna be a heartbreaker!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0kE5LSmwVkwtaQw08jzfDKk_R7YAu9YkxRUKZe8_vthFJjQU_WXlDwWilGgtlV4QfNDjJDcK0sq4r9KjpB_m6uVGgHP_7Cb3UJfj_XJuIL6-YFq75ssWUXqWFtcuFpRv-cuAauAR6mc/s1600-h/june2009+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348344215229276210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0kE5LSmwVkwtaQw08jzfDKk_R7YAu9YkxRUKZe8_vthFJjQU_WXlDwWilGgtlV4QfNDjJDcK0sq4r9KjpB_m6uVGgHP_7Cb3UJfj_XJuIL6-YFq75ssWUXqWFtcuFpRv-cuAauAR6mc/s320/june2009+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Cute family photo op :)<br /><br /><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTdhoZzIMHZ0u9Q4uaWcUknWD179EGxD5vVCh-2xlouyjEjRk2CV-WmPM2rkWmnxMdEFAS8FaD4ctmGrCSE_5Q96MPenzhrPIjUHptB6z75wQVI5cP3NOn5ecACuTXH4QH8icXp5C-x30/s1600-h/june2009+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348344210535159922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTdhoZzIMHZ0u9Q4uaWcUknWD179EGxD5vVCh-2xlouyjEjRk2CV-WmPM2rkWmnxMdEFAS8FaD4ctmGrCSE_5Q96MPenzhrPIjUHptB6z75wQVI5cP3NOn5ecACuTXH4QH8icXp5C-x30/s320/june2009+004.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>Daddy swingin his boy.. doesn't he look excited?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjct7L_5wvJ1eAWBprmIToZb7cyqAzl6ZvaiTFdVW4TpsUbcZqukcrsMr0dDCJDnK8Hn_6j_JDCMcFJDM9OSv_QlySfgQna7wMCrpKKet0bA5t5zddQ14G0xzFptEKVy8IPgWlj_pqxqIs/s1600-h/june2009+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348344206592849842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjct7L_5wvJ1eAWBprmIToZb7cyqAzl6ZvaiTFdVW4TpsUbcZqukcrsMr0dDCJDnK8Hn_6j_JDCMcFJDM9OSv_QlySfgQna7wMCrpKKet0bA5t5zddQ14G0xzFptEKVy8IPgWlj_pqxqIs/s320/june2009+005.jpg" border="0" /></a> This one's for you Les..

We went to a place called Oak Grove.. GORGEOUS!!!!! If anyone wants to come camping in these parts.. call me for directions, you will find no better place... ( except for Deer Haven... right Central Stake girls???!!?!?!) Camping is just in my blood... for me it is a place to really relax and just come back off my high from the everyday chaos. Every time I get the opportunity to camp, my mind races back to girls camp days! I love to do it, and what better person to do it with than this sexy man :) <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMEw9W1fMBq0QTGGqDdxOxoDCFBswd3Pu2MMeWSlbq6jeDoWhfKh1UOGPiuQYXHxElOOhUNO2QduQP5nQiQbrlrGUbQfaEgFSBYe29JnMkWtE8oS9htxjBo51boQC7HEjd7K8OuAO_ik/s1600-h/thisnthatmay09+080.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMEw9W1fMBq0QTGGqDdxOxoDCFBswd3Pu2MMeWSlbq6jeDoWhfKh1UOGPiuQYXHxElOOhUNO2QduQP5nQiQbrlrGUbQfaEgFSBYe29JnMkWtE8oS9htxjBo51boQC7HEjd7K8OuAO_ik/s320/thisnthatmay09+080.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341864833015857458" border="0" /></a>Ok this was a bad shot... sorry you have to witness this.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCrl4ULS_qn55pNr9GYkUWjdAZKTYQ0IZBA9b-LDcrduoAQ2mYCyKPhJ0XsnqztKfJ0IyMIreP2a_51Yc0Ndsek7xMFNZkuQee_zEu0skgYAyTmCEsXstrb5eN4UW1KwMH4Kz3Xfdma7E/s1600-h/thisnthatmay09+081.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCrl4ULS_qn55pNr9GYkUWjdAZKTYQ0IZBA9b-LDcrduoAQ2mYCyKPhJ0XsnqztKfJ0IyMIreP2a_51Yc0Ndsek7xMFNZkuQee_zEu0skgYAyTmCEsXstrb5eN4UW1KwMH4Kz3Xfdma7E/s320/thisnthatmay09+081.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341864831272887714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUD6NAdQ87u3GC9YXBQk-lmGYI58YmFndsTyIsbcnNyWPuAPNDhTFNEB42G8kO2PlZvl1AVbn6xLMkFBfoNCv25EKtqMdxVEL3XJdj0WzRKSxxBzYfccRsKe2312BSGJOQPjZdKW6v1c/s1600-h/thisnthatmay09+079.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUD6NAdQ87u3GC9YXBQk-lmGYI58YmFndsTyIsbcnNyWPuAPNDhTFNEB42G8kO2PlZvl1AVbn6xLMkFBfoNCv25EKtqMdxVEL3XJdj0WzRKSxxBzYfccRsKe2312BSGJOQPjZdKW6v1c/s320/thisnthatmay09+079.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341864311301117682" border="0" /></a>Here is our little family the very last night.

We just moved this last weekend, it was an interesting experience becuase our A/C went out the first night, in a brand new condo!!!! So that didnt get fixed until tuesday night.. Interesting weekend! We are still up in the air with where everything is, so I am wearing the same pair of pants every day :)<br /><br />We get to go camping this weekend for Memorial Day, we are so excited to get away for a couple days! Plus, its a perfect vacation for people who are in the middle of moving and dont know where their clothes are, we can just wear the same outfit everyday!!<br /><br />There hasnt been any grand news to share, or grand events that we have attended.. we have been visiting the local splash pad here almost every day and JJ LOVES it! I think it will definatly be our summer event.. We have also been BBQing a lot lately, I love summer BBQ's at dusk! Other than that we have just been working and moving!<br /><br />No pictures today, I am posting this at work (naughty, I know!) But I will have a fun post when we get back from camping with some fun pics.. I have some pretty funny pics of JJ being a little menace, they make me smile!<br /><br />Until then, everybody have a fuin Memorial Day weekend and... Happy Blogging!Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-10996681203629946212009-04-06T09:13:00.000-07:002009-04-17T20:57:13.159-07:00Easter, Bathroom remodel and some randoms..Happy late Easter!

We are moving. Not far. We are staying in our little town, we have just decided that the best answer for our situation is to move. Jeff is almost done with his CNA course, and he will soon be starting school full time. This will only leave time for him to work part time. Our income will not support our lifestyle as it is today, so we are going to have to make some sacrifices, and one of those is to move to a smaller and cheaper place so that there is less stress for Jeff and I, and he can concentrate on school! That's all for tonight.... Happy Blogging!<br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-14290145924530263582009-03-04T23:24:00.000-08:002009-03-04T23:40:44.107-08:00Our life in a nutshell...WE ARE BUSY!!!!!! I am seriously the worst blogger ever! I don't know how I let 2 months get away from me! I have so many pictures I need to update, but I figure I'll just bag it and start from here... But, since I have no pictures for this post, I will update you in words how that last two months have gone.<br /><br />- Between work, home, being mommy, being wifey and supporting a husband who works full time, goes to school part time and is Assistant Scout leader.. I have lost my marbles!<br /><br />- Does that mean I have to have a clean house too???<br /><br />- I have no idea how I get so busy that I have found no time to blog.. SHAME!<br /><br />- I got my 6 month raise at work.. wahoo!<br /><br />- JJ is getting bigger and bigger before my eyes.. I am amazed by him every day<br /><br />- Jeff started his CNA class this week. He says it seems quite overwhelming, but he will do just fine. In fact, he passed four tests todayWahoo!!!<br /><br />-JJ is starting to suffer major seperation anxiety. At this point I thought it would get easier, but it seems to be going the opposite.<br /><br />- My bday in January was good, I got the whole day off to spend with JJ and we went out and had a nice dinner<br /><br />- Valentines Day this year marked the BEST one ever.. I got Jeff and Ipod, and he got me an Ihome for my Ipod touch.. They have both been the best presents ever!<br /><br />- March 1st was our 6th wedding anniversary.. I am stunned and proud!<br /><br />- Did I mention that my little baby is getting huge! I just can't get over how smart he is and how much he teaches me every day. Mostly patience.<br /><br />- I learned this past month about the precious nature of life while watching a dear friend lose his mother. I hate funerals. And I hate people I love in pain.<br /><br />- I am jealous and proud that Jeff is so dedicated to his schooling and the gym!<br /><br />- I am learning to love my calling in the nursery. Learning, I said.<br /><br />- I love my ward family<br /><br />- I appreciate the way Jeff and I have made it through this economic crisis unscathed, although I can't say I hold much faith it will stay that way!<br /><br />- I LOVE my support system!<br /><br />- We got a new car!<br /><br />- I finally organized my pantry.<br /><br />- Jeff is getting Lasik this Friday, yippee for a quick trip to Salt Lake! (And a BAD wife who will shop while her man recovers in the hotel room!)<br /><br />- I need to go to bed. The alarm will sound in 6 hrs and I have yet to dry my hair<br /><br />Happy blogging! And I will not let 2 months go by again without blogging.. Don't lie, I know you are wiping the sweat off your brow in relief!Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-69317234533692503712009-01-19T21:45:00.000-08:002009-01-19T22:30:54.818-08:00Bath time, Before & After, and our Holiday weekend....The holiday weekend has been SO nice! I had (most) Saturay off, Sunday and today! Its been so nice being home with JJ and feeling like being just a mom and nothing else has been awesome! We started off the weekend with some UFC fight night at our house with friends. It wasn't that great because Rich Franklin lost and that didn't make me happy, he got totally jipped.. But that's a story for another day! Moving on to Sunday, I must admit, I REALLY was not in the mood for church. You know when you have those days when your so uncomfortable in your dress and your hot and just hate sitting there! If it wasnt for having the lesson in Nursery, I woulda ditched! We had some friends invite us to the park and a BBQ, which made it even that much harder to go.. But in the end, I was glad I did, it was a nice meeting. After church, my niece Kolbey invited us to be with her when she reciever her Patriarcle blessing. It was a sweet blessing and such a spiritual experience to be there. Thanks Kolbs for including us in your VERY special day! The rest of Sunday kind of flew by since we have the crappy time (1-4)!<br /><br />Today, I had the bug to redecorate a place in my home I have been itching to do... Pictures will follow! My sister and brother in law and kids also came up today and visited. We had a yummy lunch prepared by mom, of course :), and just kind of hung out. It was nice to catch up and visit. JJ loved Jax the dog! Aunt Leslie let him hold the leash and take him for a walk, he was in doggy heaven! I hope everyone had a GREAT 3 day weekend :) Happy blogging....<br /><br /><br /> I just thought this was a cute pic to share! JJ is LOVIN him some bubbles lately!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS7cIrJk4r5khFhIucWs6ySq5e_BWPk4TEurVqNLXsHGz717WZW3mvVoPKEqGbBLassi_7wnw3YajRv77j4i2HKve6taAtc1CbOehfVqtglfP1yI1OrST0LQX_B30iBJPCi7i6535p6rE/s1600-h/MLK+holiday+and+Bath+time+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS7cIrJk4r5khFhIucWs6ySq5e_BWPk4TEurVqNLXsHGz717WZW3mvVoPKEqGbBLassi_7wnw3YajRv77j4i2HKve6taAtc1CbOehfVqtglfP1yI1OrST0LQX_B30iBJPCi7i6535p6rE/s320/MLK+holiday+and+Bath+time+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293249568526651442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So. here follows my weekend project. I decided that I was so done with the orange on one of my main walls.. Don't let the pic fool you, I DID NOT have neon orange on my walls! It was more of a deep rustic, but I was tired of not using my awsome armoire for something more.. beautiful. Not just movies and books.... So.. I went to the local thrift stores and DI.....<br /><br /> BEFORE<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKwmDPuzWkB_rwFz9vqkaLnHZhp6wkxVJTb3GucX5GNaslcDC8P7VwzyRLdN-IxyVIxH-JY777gDEIhx52sGkXg9LkqxWwbGxLbx6vw_BzNS-GvjWr9R0OVhX31PAa4WSMzQ2bqRsG5c/s1600-h/DSC01556.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKwmDPuzWkB_rwFz9vqkaLnHZhp6wkxVJTb3GucX5GNaslcDC8P7VwzyRLdN-IxyVIxH-JY777gDEIhx52sGkXg9LkqxWwbGxLbx6vw_BzNS-GvjWr9R0OVhX31PAa4WSMzQ2bqRsG5c/s320/DSC01556.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293249069868071906" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOY2Hb-R3ZufUgeXELFmMCH3CaatF8FmXj-aebhGyVNNE40_f3E9GRz0fF0IJ31_r4nNkXF2espaFwp5E5Vf6QneK0uFKSiUVeK2ZqTnl3_g6XGLPxr3XLUrGebQTUszvmjhMpVp67-8/s1600-h/DSC01559.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOY2Hb-R3ZufUgeXELFmMCH3CaatF8FmXj-aebhGyVNNE40_f3E9GRz0fF0IJ31_r4nNkXF2espaFwp5E5Vf6QneK0uFKSiUVeK2ZqTnl3_g6XGLPxr3XLUrGebQTUszvmjhMpVp67-8/s320/DSC01559.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293249077650628978" border="0" /></a><br /> And..

I also give credit to a blog I follow religiously "JOYS OF HOME". You can see the link on my page. She has pretty much decorated her whole home with thrifty buys, and I love her creativity. I have to admit, I stole the empty picture frame idea from her. I love it so much, I am really starting to like the ecclectic and more odd sense of style, like thrift store mis matched furniture for my home, which means I have some MAJOR redecorating to do :) My taste has changed and I am on the journey to change it.. I also changed up the wall color to a muted oatmeal. I did this little change for... sit down.... $16.00!!!!! I am going to try and find some tall white vases to put on the little tables on the side and stick some black rustic stick in...

I have been asked by many to post the recipe for these babies.. It has been very flattering having everyone telling me how yummy these cinnamon rolls are.. I took a basic recipe and a very confusing and involoved recipe and married them together to create these bad boys.. Once you make them, you will never go back. They will be requested at every party, dinner, sunday night treat, and pretty much any other time there is a reason to eat your weight in sugar.

You can find it in specialty stores. If you don't have access to the syrup, you can always visit your local coffee shop and ask if you can purchase 2 oz. of "coffee royal" flavoring. All the flavor, none of the coffee!<br />1/8 tsp salt<br /><br /><br />Directions:<br />Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large stew pot, combine 1 qt. milk, 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup sugar. Sclad the mixture, heating just before boiling point. Revmove from heat and let sit 45 min - 1 hr. When the mixture is luke warm, NOT HOT, sprinkle 2 pkgs (2 Tbls.) Active dry yeast. Let the yeast sit for a minute and get moist. Then add 8 cups of the flour. Stir mixture together and let sit for atleast 1 hour.<br />Aftter 1 hour, the dough will have raised. Now add 1 more cup of flour, 1 heaping tsp. baking powder and 1 'scant' tsp. baking soda and 1 heapinf Tbl. salt.<br />Stir the mixture together. At this point you can either make the cinnamon rolls or put the dough in the fridge for up to two days.<br /><br />When you are ready to make the rolls:<br /><br />Sprinkle surface of counter with flour. Take HALF of the dough and roll into a rectangle shape. Drizzle 1 1/2 - 2 cups of melted butter, then 1 cup of sugar. Followed by a generous amount of cinnamon.. Pile it on baby!<br />Starting at the opposite end, roll the dough tightly towards you. Some of the mixture will probably seep out, but its ok. Pinch the seam of the roll to seal it.<br />Spray pans with non stick cooking spray. (Half of my dough takes up about 3- 9x13 pans). Cut the roll into 3/4 - 1 inch thick rolls and place in pan. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough.<br />Let the rolls sit 20-30 mintues to rise, and then bake at 400 degrees for 15-17 mintues.<br /><br />While the rolls are baking, make the icing:<br />In a mixing bowl, add your powdered sugar. To this add 2 tsp. maple flavoring, 1/2 cup Milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brewed coffe (Or coffee flavored syrup) and 1/8 tsp salt. Wisk together for a thick creamy YUMMY icing!<br /><br />When the rolls are LIGHT golden brown, take them out of the oven. As soon as you take them out, drizzle your maple icing over the cinammon rolls and enjoy! I perfer just a drizzle of the icing, too much is overpowering. Its totally up to you and your own individual taste :)<br /><br />I hope someone makes these so you can give me some feedback on how they turned out!<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></div></div>Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-40682190228739673082009-01-03T20:22:00.000-08:002009-01-03T21:01:48.810-08:00New Years Eve 2008So this year was pretty low key for us, we decided to stay home with the kids and have movie night!

We started off the festivities by putting up Christmas lights on our house. This is the first year we have ever done them, and it really made me feel like we were "home" for the first time since we have been married! On Christmas Eve, we had our annual "go to Grandma and Grandpa's" night.. The kids all got jammies and blankets.. SURPRISE! This year was especially fun because Grandma and Grandpa decided to get individual gifts for each grandchild and child instead of family gifts..They got Jeff and I a start on our food storage and gave us two months worth for four people, they also gave us the chart of what to buy every month to keep building it! We really loved that, we have been wanting to start it so bad, and they really gave us a head start!

SO much has gone on since I last posted! We had and awesome and yummy Thanksgiving, and we have spent the last four weeks remodeling our bathroom which is NOT done yet, and planning JJ's big birthday party, which went off with a bang! We had such a good time, I hope everyone who came did too! We did a barnyard animal theme, I think it turned out really cute. We ended up having to have the party at the church because it was so cold we couldn't have it outside like we had originally planned! My camera took a dive and I just had to go purchase a new one, which sounds like fun, but it really wasnt becasue I couldn't get the awesome Sony that I had, I had to downgrade a little, but it's ok! Becuase of my lack of camera, I couldnt take pictures of the fun snow storm we had here in Utah! It was absolutly beautiful and JJ loved it! We have so much going on, I can't even blog it all, my thoughts are TOTALLY jumbled! On an end note, I want to thank all you guys who took the time to come and share JJ's fun day with us! Les and Brad and the kiddos came, Joey, Andrea and Jackson, Kim and Dax and Emily, Connor and Wyatt and my in laws all took the trip from Vegas to come up here! We love all of you guys a ton and are so thankful to have family and friends like you.. Love all your guts!<br /><br />Here is JJ with all the loot! This kid has Christmas in 4 days! And we always feel bad for poeple with birthdays so close to Christmas.. not anymore! This kid has an obsession with tools.. and he got plenty of them! Notice in the background, we hadnt even opened any other presents and he already had his drill and tool belt on! He got so many awesome gifts, and he loves every single one! My back living room is filled with them all.. He got tools, puzzles, tractors, and the coolest little cash register with money that he totally loves.. he thinks he is rich and walks around the house with the money in his pocket! He got a cute bowling set and baseball set... and the cutest little jacket that he rocked for church today! He also got a beautiful blanket that was specially made for him, it was so thoughtful and so much appreciated! He also got the cutest remote controlled tractor that plays music and he seriously hits the button 5 million times a day and does a little dance! This kid totally made out like a bandit! We are so overwhelmed by the love that everyone showed us and JJ and are so grateful for everyone in our lives!<br /><br /><br />Just a side note on this pic.... Grandpa and Grandma got him a John Deere tractor and hat, as you can see below.. He has to wear the hat when he works with his tools. He seriously will not play with the tools until his John Deere hat is on.. I think he gets that from Grandpa! My child has officially become a Utah hick.. he wears John Deere! hahaha<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipxuA417-HcMsLWoIGVRrixWgtNnPQVUFfnoyk7H3qJCOkRY8GC8LXGh0H6Cy3ZBkuS6uj4vn6kxqqYL3NO3f8UMOHgFw4LUwfe4_uj1ZfJ0p_za9n1qk_Dr_1_orqr-se71lHFZjZpgQ/s1600-h/JJ's+Birthday+052.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipxuA417-HcMsLWoIGVRrixWgtNnPQVUFfnoyk7H3qJCOkRY8GC8LXGh0H6Cy3ZBkuS6uj4vn6kxqqYL3NO3f8UMOHgFw4LUwfe4_uj1ZfJ0p_za9n1qk_Dr_1_orqr-se71lHFZjZpgQ/s320/JJ's+Birthday+052.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282464301329981154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzCEsljELWEoVLasuSvpJvaa8m2hl1Mu58NArWEqNLGC28nFXhYEBFm_YeO0uaZUdt9yEatU7fMllF7yYpRXG9CyvxRC3noElIzZnaBCy5XLkil_XF2S6uFRdj1ppAe7ASpBrsWVYldQ/s1600-h/JJ's+Birthday+051.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzCEsljELWEoVLasuSvpJvaa8m2hl1Mu58NArWEqNLGC28nFXhYEBFm_YeO0uaZUdt9yEatU7fMllF7yYpRXG9CyvxRC3noElIzZnaBCy5XLkil_XF2S6uFRdj1ppAe7ASpBrsWVYldQ/s320/JJ's+Birthday+051.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282464289375604514" border="0" /></a>He was drilling the hair I was cutting off of Aunt Leslie's hair..

Let me rewind a little bit and tell you how my day was brightened after the sun had already gone down.....<br /><br />I drove up from work around 6:30 pm.. I walked into the house, still sick to my stomach that someone had stolen my purse, and also feeling a little stressed at the list of calls I had to make to fix my stolen wallett problem..I decided to go straight into my bedroom and change into warm comfies so that I could be comfortable for the night. I geared my hair stuff up, ready to do Rickell's hair (which turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself). I started digging into my clean laundry (NO, I hadnt folded it yet ok?!) and I see this oddly familiar looking blue and red plaid fabric..............<br /><br />IT WAS MY FREAKING PURSE.........................<br /><br />At this point, I don't even want to tell anyone because as you can see from my last post, I was not very kind about losers who steal! HAHA Well, I am here to say I AM AN IDIOT!<br />How, do you ask, did my purse end up in my laundry basket??? Well, once I saw the purse, I instantly remembered......<br /><br />Rewind to Monday night..<br />I drove up from work, and even though I previously stated that I left my purse in the car, I LIED! I remember now that Jeff and I had decided on the phone on the way home to NOT go out to dinner, so that meant I would not have left my purse in the car to go change, I actually drove up from work and remembered that there were clothes in the dryer that I had put in before work, so I grabbed my purse and threw it in the laundry basket, picked up the laundry basket and threw my clothes in.. Low and behold, the purse was there the whole time!<br />So, in answer of your comment Les, I would have loved that call last night, I was in a great mood!<br />Although, my kid did still lock himself in his room, and I had to ruin his door and break the casings around it..as if my bathroom in the middle of a remodel doesn't look ghetto enough!Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-64433822523682257172008-11-18T11:49:00.000-08:002008-11-18T12:12:34.698-08:00This world houses some SERIOUS losers...Why? Do you ask, well let me get you up to speed.... I guess I am so nieve to what losers we live around. Do you all agree that it takes a serious loser to sneak up onto ones personal property (ie car port) and open up that persons vehicle to STEAL their purse????<br /><br /><br />Well, that's exactly what the ***ing loser decided to do at my house last night. Here's the scoop.<br /><br />Last night, I drove up from work around 6:30 pm. I decided I would leave my purse in the car (which was in the dark car port, and there was also no sunlight left to be seen). Me, being the idiot that I am, left my purse in the car because I was going to just run into the house and change really quick because we had decided to go grab a bite to eat for dinner. Once I got into the house, we had changed our minds and decided to stay in and cook dinner so that we could work on the bathroom remodel. Not even thinking that I had left everything in the car. We got busy cooking and cleaning, that the purse being in the car became a distant memory.<br /><br />By the time we finished clearing out the bathroom, and getting JJ out of his bedroom that he locked himself in by breaking the door AND the casings around it ( that's a post for another day), we realized it was 10 oclock and JJ hadnt even had a bath yet! So, we hurried and got everyone showered and ready for bed. So... by this time it was 11:30, and we hit the sack. Fast forward...<br /><br />This morning about 10:45, JJ and I were all ready to head out to the doctor to get some antibiotics for his booger nose and cough.... I looked for my purse in the house and remembered at that moment that I had left it in the car, so......<br /><br />As I walked out to the car and opened the door, I looked at the seat, and my stomach dropped. NO PURSE. So after the doctor, where I had no checkbook or Insurance card, I drove straight to work.. blocked the debit cards, called the temple ( my recommend was in my wallett), called all three credit bearus ( My SSN card was in there, stupid, I know)... and now I get to go buy a new license, file a police report, and pull out my hair.<br /><br />Did I mention we are remodeling our bathroom, and now have a broken childs door and baseboard... and I am officially done on my soap box. I am so pissed today.

We woke up early and drove about 5 minutes to a little town outside of Hurricane called Toquerville. There is a subdivision called Cholla Creek, and it has the most beautiful little pic nic park running along a stream. We got there all dressed and ready just a little after 9 am, it turned out to be the best time of day for the sun in that specific area. Here are a select few from the photo shoot... There is actually one homework assignment that goes along with this post.. We are in limbo about which picture to be 'the one' for this years Christmas card, so I will number the first three pics and everyone cast their vote! I will let you know next week which pic took the cake! (Not to sway ANY votes, but I (the mom, and bottom line decision maker) am particularly partial to PHOTO NUMERO #2)...

It's time for fun memories, and awesome blogging! I can't wait to see everyone start getting in the spirit of the Holidays!! Todays family picture's really made me feel like they are here, we always do our pictures at this time of year, and I look at them each year and see my little family grow, both physically and spiritually. I see every year more love in the eyes of my precious hubby for both JJ and I, and I see that same growth exuded in mine as well. I didn't want to get sappy, but I just love to look at still photos of my little family, especially my precious baby boy. Time flies, and I am reminded of that every time I see little moments caught in photos! I hope everyone takes advantage of this time of year to reflect on the same! It is the time of year to be THANKFUL for our MANY MANY blessings! Today I got to see mine captured forever! Happy blogging.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxn3JH1YDuGEuPithZ-PxdhgCPsF5CvY2EKAKG2P3h66k6F9sJRV1Kxdh5l24tXGsMkhBJOkORMe_F5Y4bhJS3lvE6POn7up03K6m-irdz9jSCs-rl4pLlo5RkQXRadnGfI7fwm8MJWE/s1600-h/DSC01917.JPG"><br /></a>Lenzihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586866435923840817noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438140112737987398.post-52249550048093344672008-11-11T18:34:00.000-08:002008-11-11T18:42:12.196-08:00Tagged by Shawna..So, I was tagged by Shawna to post the 4th picture in the 4th album on my computer :) I am happy to report this is the ACTUAL 4th picture in the 4th album!
