Tagged By My Brother

My Brother Kyle tagged me, so here goes:


Favorite Person (outside of family)?
My neighbor and best friend Nikki Foust. It's so nice having her practically next door.(Two doors down) Her family is always there for me to lend a hand or an ear. She helps me not spend money. She works hard. She plays hard. She's a blast to be around.

Favorite Food?
Prime rib outback style.

Quirks about you?
I'm a neat freak. I can't stand clutter. I'm sure I have quirks that I'm unaware of.


How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less?
Ryan: "Beautiful,Loving,Benevolent,Strong,Thoughtful,Devoted to family,Gentle,Amazing or Incredible, Selfless or unselfish, Protector or Guardian"
Jaxon: "Hot Mama"
Jacob: "Pretty,Good Cook,Nice"
Marli: "Beautiful,Fun,Nice"
Conor: "Dadadda!?!"

Any regrets in life?
Oh yeah....their is too many to mention. I will just say they started at the age of 13 and go through the age of 18. I will not say what, for fear my kids will have it to hold against me when they are teenagers! Yikes!

Favorite Charity/Cause?
Primary children's hospital telethon and childhood cancer research

Favorite Blog recently?
Melissa Francis She just completed treatment for breast cancer. She is so talented and brave.

Something you can't get enough of?
Hugs and kisses from my kids and handsome husband. Also chocolate!

Worst Job you've ever had?
Housekeeper at The west bank hotel

What job would you pay not to have?
IRS agent

If you could be a fly on the wall, where would it be?
I was talking to my sister-in-law Kim about this the other day. Putting her baby Hailey 14 mo. old and Conor 8 mo. old in a crib together. I would giggle so hard. They love to look at each other and poke each other. It would be fun to watch.

Also I would love to see the Savior visit the children at Primary Children's Hospital. I read a book that was a true story about the Savior visiting sick children in the SLC PMCH. You can feel him close by when your there, but to actually see him with the children would be so amazing.

Favorite Bible verse right now?
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Guilty Pleasure?
Scrap booking drinking Coca Cola

Got any confessions?
How much time do you have? One thing I'll admit to is anti-depressants work for me.
I ran out right before payday and thought I would be OK for a few days until I got my prescription refilled. I could tell immediately that I needed to get it refilled ASAP.

If you had $1000 dollars to spend on yourself how would you spend it?
Hmmm. That's hard. I would like to say I'd take a vacation, but I think I would need more than $1,000. I would buy the family a Wii and lots of games. I'd like a new computer and printer. I would need a lot more $.

Favorite thing about your house?
The people who live in it

Least favorite thing about your house?
It never stays clean and it's in West Arco (haha)

One thing you are bad at?

One thing you are good at?
Making a dufous out of myself

If you could change one thing about your circumstances, what would it be?
My son Jaxon would be here with us

What makes you feel sexy?
Not sure (I have four kids)

Who is your real life hero?
My beautiful son Jaxon


What is the hardest part of your job?
Being away from my kids

My Family

Ryan said "Things/stuff, more things more stuff. Filling every possible space available. The love of her kids."

What stresses you out?
Living payday to payday

Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists?
I had to look this up....
(Narcissism describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego.)
If talking about your kids and being proud to be their Mama makes me a narcissist then I'd say I agree.


Why do you blog?
It's my journal...and I don't have time to scrapbook lately so I use it to document life's events.

Who are you tagging?
Melody Ross, Kimberly Sorenson, Melissa Smith
