TAG I AM IT

Here is my info from being tagged. Since I have some free time for a bit...

20 years ago - 1988
I had just turned 9 years old (bday-Feb12). We had been living in Idaho Falls for 6 months after moving from Seatle Washington area. I was in 3rd grade.

10 years ago - 1999
I was 19 years old, a gratuate from highshoocl for a whole year.. working until that fall to atend Ricks College which I grated in 2000 with an Asociates Degree in Office Sytems Management.

5 years ago- 2003
I was 24 years old. I was engaged to the most wonderful, sexy, kind, loving, funny man I had ever met. We were married that June (5 year anv June 12, 2008). I was looking for a full time job and preparing for our wedding. Oh, and I had been home from my mission to Guatelma for about 6 months.

1 year ago - 2007
I was about 6 months pregnant- sick all the time and slept most of the day away, since I didnt sleep well at night.

This year so far..... I have potty trained Tietjen... Anna Belle has learned to walk... Jeff goes to school 4 nights a week and I dont see him until 9:30 pm (leaves at 8:30 am for work) I had my 29th birthday.

Yesterday - was Sunday.. went to church... the choir sang during Sacrament Meeting ( I am in the choir) and I gave the closing prayer. Tietjen was mostly reverent during church and it snowed again - UGH!! Annie who is walking.. fell and gave herslef a huge bruise and cut on her cheek.

Today - I babysat my neighbors kids for 2 hours.. Tietjen, Annie, & I ate lunch... Tietjen is in his room for "quite time" which leads to his nap and Anna Belle is looking for me.

Tonight - wait for Jeff to come home - he gets to eat dinners with us Mondays & Wednesdays - which we love to see him , even though it is only for about 45 mins..

Tomorow - same ol' same ol' -except Jeff doesn't come home for dinner - goes strait to school, comes home at about 9:20 pm. We cant wait for the weekend to spend time with Jeff.

This year - We are paying off our van with Tax Returns.. more money to spend each month now. I am planning on buying a bike trailor to tote these two kids around this summer. Save on gas and get me some more extercise. - my GOAL to eat less sugar and chocolate - I love them much!!

Obsessions

Anna Belle and Tietjen love to watch
"Baby Einstein" and "Little Einsteins"

As you can see her attention is quite focused on the show!! Which gives mommy time to do laundry or dishes or clean something. I love it!!


Tietjen & Anna Belle are in a trance by the music of great composers !!!!


THANK YOU TO THE BABY EINSTEIN COMPANY !!!
