"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

A New obsession!

Hollie just started watching iCarly. It is definetly a different change
than to be watching cartoons. She has learned the theme song that comes

on at the beginning of the show. And knows the dances. I actually like this
Show. I want to record hollie dancing and singing to the sand and email it to them. They post videos from actual viewers. Spencer is HOT too. His character is hilarious. The song you are hearing is the iCarly theme song.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

20 years ago:

I was 8 years old. Had just gotten baptized. I loved to play with barbies. I was in brownies and competed in the girl scout olympics and won first place in ALL but 1 event. It was a relay race where you had to run to the other side put all the clothes on in the box and run to the other side take them off and tag your teammate. Well while taking the shirt off MY shirt came off to. Exposing everything which at the time was nothing, ha, and I was totally embarrassed and walked away. They gave me my ribbon later. Which was 8th place.

10 years ago:

I was 18, a senior in high school playing varsity soccer, and about to finally graduate high school and seminary. I was working at Round Table pizza and drove my moms blue station wagon (The Beast) around town.




5 years ago:
Lance and i got married. We spent 10 days in Hawaii for our honeymood. We enjoyed being married. I worked at Moreno Valley Honda, Toyota, and Dodge as a cashier for the parts and service dept. I bought my first "New" car, A Honda Civic.




3 years ago:

I had just had Hollie. Learning the ways of motherhood. Getting NO SLEEP. Love to just stare at her. no sleep. Sold my car cause I stopped working. started working for my father in laws business and was able to take Hollie with me. That was great.


1 year ago:
Trevor was here. he will be 2 in 2 months. I was adjusting to having two kids. Still no sleep. Still working st the shop but it was getting harder to keep the kids entertained. Lance and I at this time were living on our own in a condo we rent from his mom. Loving life.
Today:
I'm still working at the shop but only when I have a babysitter. I am trying to do a business from home that does pretty good. Lance and I try to have date nights when we can. Still don't sllep too well. Hollie ends up in our bed EVERY night.
My goals this year:
Lose weight (been my goal for the last 5 years), get a new car that has 4 doors and air conditioning, go on more date nights with my hubby, work on my patience. Gosh your kids test you BIG time.

Got Gas?


Oh my gosh. Gas prices are almost 5 bucks a gallon. It is insane. I got gas yesterday and put in $20.00. that used to fill up my tank. Now I barely get a half a tank. I'm so glad to have a little Honda Civic. Even though it's small for our family and has no air conditioning at least I don't have to spend $100.00 to go visit my mom.

My little artist



Hollie's drawings are starting to look like actual pictures. She does a really good job with happy faces. I was proud to see that she added arms and legs and they are in the right places. I cannot believe she will be 4 this year.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Ron

Yesterday was Grandpa Ron's b-day. We all went out for sushi which is his favorite. Lance loves it to. Joanie and i are not too fond of it.
I got teriyaki chicken and sesame chicken and rice Ron and Lance shared a ton of sushi

Trevor flirted with the waitresses (sorry it's kinds blurry...cell phone picture). they took him to the back and got him ice cream.
Hollie used chop sticks to eat her chicken. She did really good. With one hand even. we had a fun night.

Color dots



I found these cool water color tablets at walmart. They have red, blue and yellow but you can mix them to make other colors. It makes bath time more exciting.

Seen and heard






Today we went ot a birthday party! The kids got to swim and play on the playground (

Hollie called the play set the playground),play with big bubble wands, eat hotdogs, and decorate cookies. Oh and eat huge marshmellows. Well while hollie was in the pool I overheard this conversation between her dad and her....

(Hollie has her mouth open and is drinking the water)

Lance: Hollie don't drink the water it's uhhhh

Sarah: Go ahead tell her

Lance: It's dirty people pee in it.

Hollie: It's ok I peed in it too.

We laughed for a long time. it was cute. Lance was holding on to her the whole time too. Hee hee

CHEEEEESE!




It was another night of spaghetti. The kids love it but I don't make it that often cause they make such a mess. I got out my camera and was telling Trevor to say cheeese. He was actually saying it. He was so cute. big cheesy smile and all the dirtyness.

Happy Birthday gramma Joanie





Yesterday was Gramma Joanies birthday!. We all went out to dinner at sizzler. It was good!

$1.00 Make-up

Hey all. I just heard about this really good deal on make up from Nordstrom's. a couple of my friends have ordered already. So check it out and get some new make-up for a dollar!


Nordstrom is changing the logo on their makeup, so they'resellingeverything that says 'e.l.f.' for $1!!! (you still have to pay shipping, but it's SO worth it!!)< http://www.eyeslipsface.com/shop.asp> .The make-up line E.L.F. ( Eyes, Lips, and Face) has been bought out byNordstrom and will be re-packaged with the Nordstrom name on it. Theyare getting rid of all the make-up in ELF packaging. They are sellingeverything for $1. YES ONE DOLLAR. You do have to pay shipping,However, even with that charge it's cheaper than buying make-up anywhereelse and it is fun to try things when you don't have to worry about thecost! They have powder, mascara, brushes, nail polish, you name it ..Just thought I'd pass along the good deal.

Also, if you use the couponcode: CAROLINA you will get $ off your purchase.Have fun shopping!
