10 reasons I rock...10 reasons I stink!

Ok so I was tagged by my good friend Ranee.. Love you Ranee but this one is really hard for me..



So here it goes.......................


10 reasons I rock.


1. I am a mother of 3 kiddos and I am not hairless or CRAZY. (At least I don't think I am crazy but hey maybe that's the worst kind of crazy when you think your normal and your really not)

2. Because I am planting a garden this year and so my family will have fresh food to eat right from there back yard.

3. I take photos of everything. OK some would say I am obsessed but I just say you have to catch life as it happens and it is always happening.

4. I make some killer good oh so yummy chocolate chip cookies ( if you want the recipe just ask)

5. I finally FINALLY after two years almost of living in here picked out and bought paint for every room in the house but the boys room still trying to come up with something that will last more then just one or two years.............

6. I have just found out that I am a person that loves I mean loves going to the gym. I feel like my day hasn't started if I don't get there.(for people who know me this is BIG)

7. Because today for lunch my kids wanted something fun so I made them oh so healthy on whole wheat bread peanut butter and chocolate chip smiley face people sandwiches. Yip I gave my kid chocolate for lunch and they loved it.... (hey its not everyday)

8. I love my family....... my husband says its because I love him but I think he means its because I put up with the fact that he is a freak of nature when it comes to baseball session. Can I say we wake up to sports center, he gets texts messages of updates through out the day, we watch the game, and most nights I fall asleep to the glow of the TV turned to you guessed it sports center good thing this only last ohhhhh a small 8 months I think out of the year...... No really I do love the guy he is my best friend the one and only that I tell my deep secrets and fears to. Love you hunny. GO RED SOX!!!!!!! ( he will be proud heheheh)

9. I like the smell of bleach.....weird I know

10. I am a great driver I have never been pulled over and never have I gotten a ticket... Watch now the next time I get into the car I'm going to get a ticket.........

10 reasons I stink.....

1. Don't spend enough quality time with my kids

2. I am a procrastinator.....

3. I don't read my scriptures daily

4. I don't always say my personal prayers daily

5. Eat to much and not good stuff

6. Haven't worked or even started my kids scrapbooks

7. Don't make my husbands lunch for him. I make him do it so I can sleep in an extra 20min's.

8. I don't manage time well. I am always feeling like I am in a rush to get to where ever I am supposed to be going to.

9. I yell to much

10. Because some days I don't go anywhere and so I stay in my pj's all day so yeah those day I get a little stinky. hehehehe sorry couldn't think of another one if I do I'll let you know..

So now I get to tag people hehehe so I tag mombabe, Laurie, Charity and Lauren


side note my post of get moving monday coming soon........

Ok So I don't know what to write......

As you can see I am having a brain fart. I've been looking at every ones great meaningful blog posts lately and I start thinking to myself I can do that why can't I do that. Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I do that with my kids. So I know I shouldn't compare my life with yours but it is so hard when you all are or look like your having so much fun. So I am setting a goal I am going to live my life not just sit back and watch yours I know lame I should have been doing this from the beginning but I'm sorry, and most mothers out there will agree. (please agree so I am not throwing myself under a bus). But it is hard to get out of the house with any amount of children to tote around you have there stuff and your stuff, will you be out when its lunch time? Will you be out during there nap time? DO you even want to try going when it could be these times? I know I feel guilty when my kids miss there nap because they get so crabby and then I get frustrated and it never ends good so I have a small window to go and do. And so for about 6months now I have just given in only going to the gym and then I'm home. But I am recommitting to myself that I will go out and if strangers look at me who cares I can't be perfect I don't even want to be. I want to be a mom and sorry folks that job isn't always pretty. But it is worth it. I love the times that I get out of no where a child coming up to me and giving me a kiss and saying I love you mom. I love being the one that gets to see the firsts... First tooth, first step, first word, first ''I love you". First time that when you teach them something they get it and you can see it in there face. So I admit I am no writer. I am mainly doing this for my kids and I want them to know that I love love love being there mom. Even when there are days yes that I don't get out of my jammies, and yes there are times that I might raise my voice to load. But in the end I LOVE MY FAMILY....
And I am doing this for me I am going to take my kids places to see things, to be involved,to learn something new and to just have fun with them. As Riley is only 4 once and Brody is only 2 once and Hyde is growing and soon will be 1 and time just goes so fast and I want to be present in the moment with my kids not just doing the motions. So if the laundry goes unfolded, the dishes not washed for a day or the floors not vacuumed for a day it will be OK. I will be OK. Because I will have known that in that time I was pushing my kids on the swing or playing a game with them on the floor or coloring at the table but I will be present with them not just with them...

Riley going down the twisty slide as she called it and not really liking it.

Daddy was home this afternoon and mom didn't feel so great so Super daddy took the kids to the park so mom could take a nap. Thank you sweety you don't even know how much that hour really helped. I love you. -Julia

Wait isn't he my baby. He can't be this big can he?
