A fictional book
Just one?! I can't pick. OK.....The Big Empty. Alright, so its actually a series of 4 books but it might as well be one book. Its one of those series where each book has a cliff hanger ending so you go crazy until you can read the next one. Which is why I have made a rule for myself: DO NOT START READING A SERIES UNLESS YOU ARE POSITIVE THE LIBRARY OWNS THEM ALL. You may or may not have heard but the Orem library does not own the last book of this series. Therefore, as much as I like these books I do Not recommend reading them....unless you talk to me first. I Do own the last book, thanks to Jennifer. I'd say she was just being nice but its more like she couldn't take my complaining anymore. And she loves me a lot. Anyway, about the book(s);
Its set in the 2000's and tells a group of teenagers stories about surviving what's basically the end of the world. I don't want to give too much away. It can be kind of scary if you start to think about how easily our world could turn into what happens in the book. Read it. Or don't. But remember if you do, call me first.

On the 12th day of blogging...
Blog 1
What you did today
Up at ten. Kyler and I got dressed and ate breakfast. Then we went to Orchard Park to visit some of the residents that I miss. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to my moms to say hi and so that I could feed Kyler. Afterwards we went home and while Kyler napped I cleaned the house. After he woke up we played for a bit until daddy got home. Then we all went to Costco and bought a very nice tent for this summer and then went back home. We debated about what to eat for dinner and finally decided on fritos and taco meat for me and brotz for Jake. And now here we sit, in front of the TV. Kyler in his play thing and me on my phone.

(I'm an idiot) whatever tickles your fancy
When I started this whole "30 days of blogging" thing I did not realize this meant I can blog about whatever I want. I get it now. So I pick...I take that back...Jake picks...cookies.
Jake makes the worlds best chocolate chip cookies. He made up the secret recipe by taking the best parts of other cookie recipes. His family, mostly his dad, love it when he makes cookies. And so do I. I do wish we could eat them all before they go bad though. Even if we do give most of them away. I just hate for anything to go to waste.
The secret recipe is going to be passed down to Kyler, when he is old enough. Yum yum yum!

A Big Fat Hen. Day 10
Blog 1
What's in your purse
Purse? Do I have one of those? I have a diaper bag. Does that count?
In the diaper bag you can usually find :
Diapers (obviously)
Wipes
Toys
An extra onesie
An extra outfit
A binki or two
Vitamins
Mylicon drops
Advil
Droppers for all 3 of those
Ointment
Nail clippers
Lotion
A changing mat
Gum
Pen
Femanine products
Nursing pads
My wallet
Phone
Keys
And I think that's it for a usual day. It gets pretty heavy but hey I'm building lots of muscles with the bag on one arm And a 15 lb baby on the other.

A photo (seriously?!) of you taken over ten years ago.
So I would have been 13 or younger. Just picture me with shorter hair and big ugly glasses.

Day Eight! Great!

Beliefs
Although most people may not realize it I am a very opinionated person with lots of beliefs. I just don't like to argue or upset people so I know when to keep my mouth shut.
Beliefs on religion:
I am, and always have been, a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And although my testimony has struggled at times I have always known what I believe. I believe in The Savior, Jesus Christ and the Atonement. I believe in repentance and forgiveness. I believe in the Holy Ghost. I know God answers prayers. I believe in eternal families. I know God loves all his children and I am a child of God.
Beliefs on children:
I am the oldest of 8, I have one child of my own and a handful of nieces and nephews. I now work as a receptionist in a pediatrician's office. I went through school thinking I would be a teacher or a child psychologist. I always knew I would be a mom and really looked forward to it. I have taken a lot of classes and done a lot of observing, which has taught me a lot. I'm not saying I'm anywhere near perfect, I just have my own opinions about children and how they are raised and what makes a child who they are.
I believe children need attention. The right attention and the right amount of it. A child who constantly does things to upset their parents probably isn't getting enough good attention. And after so long they make it a habit. Thinking that's the only way to get attention and realizing its a lot easier to get their parents attention if they are doing something they shouldn't.
Children learn by example. If you don't want your child to do something, don't do it. If you want them to do something, do it. Don't be a hypocrite. Its one of my biggest pet peeves. A parent lies and then yells at the child for lying. Where do you think they learned it? A parent yells or hits and then tells the child not to do the same. A parent shows no respect but then demands it from the child. Children and constantly learning, take the time to teach them.
Children need patience, love, respect, and help, to get through life.
Beliefs on life:
Treat others the way you want to be treated. Bottom line.

A photo that makes you angry/sad.
Seriously? Another photo one. Well the first thing that comes to mind are pictures I've seen of the children in Russian orphanages. As some of you know, we plan on adopting from Russia...when we get out of debt, but before we die, obviously. It makes me sad to think about what children all over the world, orphans or not, have to go through. People just can't take a minute to help someone else or to even help their own country. Children are just so helpless. I just don't understand how people can be so cold hearted.

Seventh Heaven...Blog Day 7
Blog 1
A Moment
One of my most favorite moments was....
Jake and I had just started dating and he still lived in St. George so my friends and I decided to take a road trip down there for a few days. While down there we went down to Vegas. We had a really fun day walking the strip and going to the M & M Factory, Coke Factory, and of course The Cheesecake Factory. After dinner Jake and I decided to spend some time by ourselves. He told me he wanted to "buy me something". I was kind of confused by this. Since when do guys like to just buy girls things? Haha. So we decided to go to the mall. We walked around and I couldn't think of anything that he could just buy me. So we went to Zale's....yeah. Anyway, we ended up looking at promise rings (because I wasn't ready to get engaged, we'd only known each other 3 weeks). I picked one out right before closing and we were supposed to meet our friends back at Ceasar's Palace at 9. We rushed back as fast as we could, running most the way. We finally go to Ceasar's Palace and decided we could slow down, now that we were there. *and here's the moment* we walked up the side walk a little ways and stopped. If you've never seen the front of Ceasar's Palace it has tall tree's, I'm not sure what they're called but I'd say the tree's you think of when you picture Tuscany...and there are little pools of water and a little lighting and well it was just a beautiful spot. And he kissed me. And maybe it didn't last very long but for that moment I'm pretty sure time stopped and we were the only people in the world. It was my most magical, movie like moment I'd ever had.
And just a side note* I text him the next day, on the car ride home, and said that I was ready to marry him. :)
