So it's been awhile

I told Julia, If I do Facebook then I can't do my blog.

And she said, "Yes you can! You just have to try it."

I'm sure normal people can. But I have never been able
to fall into that category now, have I?!?!?!?

Just for the record, I have lost some weight. I'm not nearly
THAT fat anymore.

But not enough for pictures. I want to look Damn Hot before I get pictures.

But I'm just here to say, "I'm back!"

I am a child of God....(I think).

My baby boys!

This is what my two littlest boys like to play with the most. Payton will push Noah all around the house in a pretty pink princess doll stroller and Noah will carry Gracie's baby. My sweet baby boys!

Go ahead, call me a liar!

I know y'all want to. It's my second post since I said "no more until Feb."

But I had some time to do a quick belly post and it was so much fun. I forgot how much I love to blog.

So call me a liar, that's okay, but here I go again.....


Payton is just getting over being sick, and Noah is about 3 days behind Payton.

Payton has been so loving, and understanding that Noah just "doesn't feel good" so he's kinda been extra lovey to Noah this week.

Our order of bedtime is: Dallen and Gracie first, each in their own room, then Noah in ours. And once Dallen is out, it's Payton's turn. (Dallen falls asleep faster than Payton, if I do them at the same time, they will talk for an hour and fight for 2 more. Not worth it.

So tonight, I put Noah down, and he just wants to be loved and snuggled and rocked and sung to. You all know what I'm talking about normal sicko stuff. I was still trying to clean up after dinner. So I thought I'd let him cry a bit, I'd hurry up and clean, then I'd go lay down by him and love him better.

As I walked out of the bedroom to clean the kitchen, Payton said, "Mom I hear Noah crying, he's really sad. I better go love him."

The crying stopped after a minute and I could hear some singing. When I was all done with the kitchen, I went to check on my boys, and this is what I found:

22 Weeks

22 weeks, just iThis is my belly shot at n case anyone wanted to see.

Yes I had my ultrasound, NO we did not find out the sex.

Parade Home 2009

So, I'm sure you have all guessed by now that I'm a little to busy to blog.

Sorry.

I'm working on draperies for 2 parade homes this year.

Kinda stressful.

I'll be back around Valentines Day.

Unfinished Gifts

I received this last night:

I own the pan, it was simply being returned to me. With some unmade lemon bars, and an apology that the bars were not made.

I was also offered two Christmas gifts this week, one with out a tag, (when all the others had them, and one without a treat, (when all the others had one.)

Then I started thinking about unfinished gifts, why we give them and who gets them.

I think the people that receive these "unfinished gifts" are loved more, at least I like to think that I am.

Let me explain:

The reasons we give them: life kinda gets in the way, we get short handed, we run out of stuff or just don't feel like it.

I think when I'm in any of these gift giving situations, that gift will always go to my mom.

Mom gets it because she doesn't care if it's unfinished or not.

She loves the gift, no matter what it is.

She knows that life happens to everyone.

She won't talk bad to anyone about receiving it such poor conditions.

She understands "it's the thought that counts."

Sad as it might be sometimes, family gets put on the back burner and she is just grateful to be there.

And she will still love me unconditionally.

I am grateful for my unmade lemon bars.

Thanks!

I NEED HELP!!!

I'm thinking this might be the fastest way instead of calling everyone.

I need some addresses for Christmas cards.

I know for sure I need:

Annie and Morgan

Deanna and Bradley

Mike and Raquel

Mechelle and Phil

As for everyone else, I at least have one, but it might be old. If you want to sent it to me anyway I can double check.

My comments are all moderated by me so if you want to just leave it as a comment you can, I won't post it.

Thanks for all your help!!!

I am now a fan!

So, I've used this product before. It's never been anything to write home about.

Until now.

I've been stuffed up for the last week.

I didn't want to take anything because I'm pregnant.

And then I thought about an email my Nana sent me that said to put Vick's VapoRub on the bottom of your feet, put some socks on and go to bed.

And so I did.

It took a little bit for it to work, maybe 20 minutes. But I didn't wake up once to blow my nose.

And I didn't even have to blow my nose in the morning either.

And it kept working until about 10 or 11 the next morning.

It was awesome.

When I've used it before, the recomended way, it just drains all the snot and you have to blow your nose forever.

Not this time.

It was just gone, from the inside out.

Plus, It made my feet feel sooo good.

PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle, who owns the Random Clothing store here in St. George, bought two theatres out for the movie premiere of TWILIGHT! The movie was last night at 12:01:00am! We had a group of twelve friends that took turns all day camping out at the theatre to save our spot, which, by the way, we were FIRST IN LINE! (thanks Liz!!!)

They had the radio station there giving away prizes. They had a TON of vendors set up all down one side of the theatre, and a few around the corner.

It was a BLAST! My little sis Taylor, won a drawing for Bella's Bracelet!

I didn't bring my camera, Deb brought hers and took so many awesome pics. If you want to see them, go to twilightmoviepartystgeorge.blogspot.com or funnyfacephoto.com and find her blog. But I'm sure it will be a few days before they post.

There is a new trailer out for HP and the Half-blood Prince. SWEET!



And the movie......


IS PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!

I'm not gonna tell you single thing about it!

I did dream about it all night long though, and I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!!!

It's a good movie.

See, I was going somewhere with all this

I just wanted everyone to know how BIG, all these musicians are.

I know that most of you (if not all of you) have heard of at least 2, maybe 3 of these guys.

Greg, even your comment (that was awesome by the way) about how you don't like Bob Dylan, you still put how famous he is. Which was the exact point I was trying to make.

So, you would just think: That if all these guys, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Jeff Lynne all got together and formed a band,

HOW WOULD ANYONE NOT KNOW OF IT!

YEAH it really happened. And it makes me sad that non of you know about it.

My Dear friend Deborah is the only person I've ever met who has heard of these guys.

I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon them when I was still little.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Once upon a time...

George Harrison was asked to do a B-side (a filler song on an album no one ever listens too.)

He asked Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison if they wanted to help him write "a little tune."

They asked Bob Dylan if they could mess around in his studio. He said yes.

George's guitar was over at Tom Petty's house, so Jeff and Tom picked George up and they all went to Bob's to play.

And they all wrote a song. "Handle with Care"

They turned it in for the B-side and the producers said it was WAY to good to be wasted on a B-side and asked if they wanted to make an album out of it.

And they did. They all wanted to keep if fun. Nothing serious so they came up with with name Traveling Wilburys. They all write, they all sing, and they all play.








This video was made after Roy died. That's his guitar in the rocking chair.

Gives You Hell!

Bob Dylan and George Harrison

Bob Dylan has won a Grammy, Golden Globe and some Academy Awards.

He's been inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

And Songwriters Hall of Fame.

In 2008 he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his impact on music and American Culture.

A lot of his songs were protest songs like "Oxford Town," it was written about the crap James Meredith had to go through as the first black man to enroll at the university of Mississippi.

He walked out of the Ed Sullivan TV Show because he was told the song he was planning on singing was potentially libelous to the John Birch Society. Rather than change his song, to a nicer one, he simply left.

George Harrison, well, he was a Beatle. And they were good friends.

Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne

Some of you younger kids out there may not have heard of Roy Orbison, but I know


you've all heard the song "Pretty Woman."

He was pretty big back in his day.

He has three hits that made it to the grammy's hall of fame.

Evlis called him the "Greatest sing in the world."

In 1989 he was inducted in to the Songwriters Hall of fame.

In 1998 he was honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievment Award.

Rolling stone put 4 of his songs in there "500 greatest hits of all time" chart.

And they ranked him #37 out the 100 Greatest artist of all time.

I know this is a cheesie video. Here is the late Roy Orbison with Pretty Woman:

(Aunt Mindy, this song makes me think of you!)




I don't expect anyone to know who Jeff Lynne is.

But that's okay, I'll tell you a little bit about him.

Jeff was born in 1947.

He has a very long musical background, which is kinda boring, but important non the less.

He co-wrote a ton of songs. Good ones too, such as:

"With a little help from my friends" The Beatles

"I've got my mind set on you" George Harrison

"You got it" Roy Orbison

He also produced a bunch of albums for Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo

Starr, and the Traveling Wilburys.

Who's the Traveling Wilburys you say? I'll tell ya in a minute.
