This Never Happens!

Look at this baby! He came right up and watched TV with my like this for probably an hour. I miss his new born cuddling all ready. I have to cherish moments like this cause they are fewer and farther between. He is so independent, I can't get him to sit still let alone spend some special mommy and me time. I am so blessed and happy to be this kids Mom!

Should I be Jealous?

This DIno has so much to offer! Jake and I had to go to Vernal for a Thrillionaire's remote show. It was fun to spend the day together. Luckily, right in that little town is a place where all of Jake's dreams can come true. You see there are few things that make Jake as excited as dinosaurs! He can't get enough! He watches documentaries and talks about them and has a favorite one. I love to tease him and tell him that they aren't real. He hates it and it the only tool I have to tease with, he teases me all the time. Frank loved the museum too and we all had fun on the east side of the state!

Confused? It's ME! I'm sure you thought it was some kind of under cover detective but it's really just me. This beautiful DISGUISE was purchased out of a 25 cent machine. There was actually a machine labeled disguises. The scary part was that some of the mustaches were PINK? Who are you trying to fool? Luckily mine looks very real and make me look smart!

My Whole Life in One Post!

I'm graduating! In one week! Reality is setting in, I am about to be done with UVU for a long time. I don't think it really had hit me how big this day really was until my sister Anna pointed out that I had completed, hair school, my bachelors and had one baby and one on the way! Her pointing that out helped me to feel so accomplished. The most interesting part of this story to me is that even with finishing both of my degrees I am more than happy to be a stay at home mom. I have no doubt that I will do something with my degrees. I loved school and working, I just want to devote as much attention to myself as to my kids. I also think that for me my degrees have made me a better mom. I learned so much during college. I am happy to be done, sad to be a grownup and even more happy to embrace being an adult! Here we go, baby number 2 my family is one the road to something...

And the Oscar Goes TO!

Lisa Clark for the best commentary! Last night was the annual Clark's Oscar Party and it was awesome! I can't say I actually ever watched the Oscars before last year when I got my first invitation to the party but now I even listen to the speech's, unless they are people we don't know! So even though Monique's speech was awkward and out of place and Sandra Bullock was posed and natural on stage the highlight was truly LISA CLARK! I know this is the second post about the almost famous Lisa Clark but to me she is really really famous. It should be known that I am rarely the person to SHHHs people and I actually enjoy talking during some movies or T.V. shows. This was one of those cases! There was just so much to be commented on this year. THe ridiculously thin woman sitting next to James Cameron, who according to Lisa is the woman that had an affair with James while working on Titanic together. They were also seated just behind James's ex wife who he was married to when said affair happened. *James and his ex wife were both nominated for best director! His EX won!! Lisa and I spent five minutes discussing the fact that even if you have anorexia you should still paint you face a little. This woman looked moments away from her death bed. I not sure I could re play the entire night but I know I feel a little bit more in love with Lisa. She is so positive and loves to make people laugh. I appreciate genuine friends, who make you feel good about yourself and your job of choice! Thanks so much Clark's for having us over and letting my salad be the hit of the party! P.S. Chris spent the evening pausing the show to point out who is gay or lesbian! He really opened my eyes Hollywood is just about 99 % gay!

Inspired!

HEY I DID IT! Thanks Katie! READ THIS Lisa's blog! She is brilliant and also an english teacher so she has great GRAMMAR skills. Something I completly lack. I was reading her blog today and was so inspired by what she wrote. It was about motherhood and how she longs to be famous. It was silly and wonderful. I made a comment I wanted to share on my blog.
*MY COMMENT*
I think this was the most poetic peice of literature I have ever read! I felt deeply the things you were saying and giggled at the complexity of the ultimatly self less decision that is MOTHER HOOD! I love it so entirely but have a hard time finding myself and most importanly, my famous self! I want to feel famous to most people including my kids. I remember my mom used to wear HAT! RED HATS! I thought she was so beautiful and classy. I hope my kids appreciate my baggy tops and ill fitted jeans! I hope they think I'm classy! Thanks Lisa for writing this it TRULY made my day!

I always find balancing my self as a human and myself as a mom so difficult. I've only been a mom for a short time but I am struggling to find an identity that runs along side my intense want to be an AMAZING MOM! I want to be the mom that did it all and kept her kids active and engaged. I also want to be a clever and bold person. I want to have my own wants and needs so that my kids see me happy and engaged in life. So here I am hoping to be THAT WOMAN!
