The Family

William's last match of the season

2012-01-02T12:37:00.000-07:00

William's first wrestling season has come to an end. He showed so much improvement over the short 6 week season.

Christmas 2011

2012-01-01T21:46:00.001-07:00

We had a great Christmas morning with all of the family.

Voodoo Donuts

2012-01-01T21:10:00.000-07:00

On our way out of Portland, we stopped at the world-famous donut shop, Voodoo Donuts.

After we left Portland, we hit quite a fog.

We saw 5 roll-over accidents in a 1 mile stretch of highway. It was pretty scary.

However, we made it home safe and sound.

Saying goodbye

2012-01-01T20:24:00.001-07:00

The world lost one of the greatest men to ever exist, my granddad, Thermer Roscoe Labrum.

Sage's Cafe

2011-11-18T20:14:00.000-07:00

Katie and I went to Sage's Cafe in SLC today. We've been working to improve Katie's health and one of the things that is working well is for her is a vegan diet. That means no animal products at all. Her gut seems to be taking it well!

William is a wrestler now

2011-11-17T21:38:00.001-07:00

William started wrestling a month ago. He and Christian have been able to spend time together while Christian drives him to practices and gives him advice.

Halloween 2011

2011-11-17T21:30:00.000-07:00

Halloween was so much fun this year. We had family and friends over for treats, fire pit, and karaoke.

Karaoke!

Drew's first concert

2011-10-16T13:32:00.001-06:00

We took Drew to her first concert on October 8. It was the "Big Ass Show 2011" presented by a local radio station. It was a full day event with 11 bands playing. We got there late on purpose and saw the last 6 bands.

Drew and her daddy

I ran into my friend Sommerset from nursing school

She was so excited!

Zombie!

There were zombies everywhere!

This is us standing in the line for food. It took more than 1 hour to get to the front.

Lizzie and Drew

Tyson, William, and Lizzie

There is a zombie right behind Drew!

Lizzie bought these shoes in the morning before the concert. They were pretty yucky by the end of the day.

Drew had a lot of fun at her first concert. We are glad that we get to have her come to our house more often now. Thanksgiving better hurry and get here!

San Fran, the final day

2011-10-16T13:09:00.000-06:00

Happy Anniversary!

Me and my "Old Man of the Sea"

The last day in San Francisco was just as beautiful as the previous two. We enjoyed perfect temperatures in the mid 70s. These pictures were all taken just outside of our hotel, which was six miles south of downtown S.F. The last day in town consisted of us going to eat at the restaurant next to our hotel and then flying home. Most of our 1st wedding anniversary was spent in airports!

San Francisco, day two

2011-10-16T11:26:00.000-06:00

The view of downtown from our hotel room

We made it to Chinatown

More Waldos!

Chicken feet and black ducks...

Wall of Pocky!

They were having a "Longevity Celebration" and these older Chinese ladies danced.

The Cable Car Museum. Each of those cables are currently running the cable cars through town.

The oldest known cable car in the world!

This beautiful mansion survived the 1906 earthquake and fires

This hotel survived the 1906 events as well

The beautiful Episcopalian cathedral on Nob Hill

A cute little neighborhood pub

We stopped in for a drink

Japantown! So different from Chinatown.

There was a huge glob of wasabi under each piece of fish.


Christian was really tearing up from all that wasabi!

Such beautiful duplexes and town houses.

The cable cars get turned by 2 men, no mechanical processes here

San Francisco, day one

2011-10-09T12:35:00.000-06:00

We went to SFMOMA, Alcatraz, and Ghirardelli Square on our first day in San Francisco. I really loved it out there! We will have to do back as soon as we can. Maybe next time, we will take the kids.

We found Waldo!

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Picasso!

I just loved this poster

A really good band (Oka) from Australia. The sweaty guy up front was a dancing machine!

Katie and I are starting a new adventure

2011-09-19T10:27:00.000-06:00

Due to Katie's stomach problems and some of my dietary issues, we have decided that we are going on a dairy-free vegetarian diet program. We want to see if it helps us. Katie was back in the hospital last week with blood in her vomit again. The doctors think it was a Mallory Weiss tear, which is a small tear in her esophagus that heals very quickly. We have to eat foods that are easy on our stomachs. Maybe this will fix my cholesterol as well. I will be posting recipes and photos of foods we try. This is what we had for breakfast today:

Slow Cooker Oatmeal

Makes 3-4 servings

1 C steel-cut oatmeal
4 C water
1/2 t kosher salt
1 t ground cinnamon
Optional additions: chopped nuts, fresh/frozen/dried fruit, honey, milk

Lightly coat the interior of your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Combine all ingredients inside, stirring to combine. Cook on low for at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours overnight.

I added dried apple slices and pecans to it. When we got up this morning, our house smelled like Christmas!

Tonight is beautiful

2011-09-18T20:04:00.000-06:00

Tonight is a perfect night. I thought I would see if my new camera could capture it. What do you think?

New Camera!

2011-09-18T19:21:00.001-06:00

Yesterday I bought a new camera. It is a super fancy one, and I will have to read the instruction booklet to really understand how to use it. In the meantime, I took a couple of pictures just to get the hang of it. Here there are:

I should update this thing...

2011-08-24T21:54:00.000-06:00

I am a bad blogger. A bad blogger in need of a camera. I need to update this blog and post pictures for my mother-in-law especially. It is her main form of seeing what is happening in our lives since she's in Chile for now.
So here's a quick update: I'm in grad school, Christian is working towards his degree. We are both working full time, too. Lizzie is starting her second year of college already. Katie is in 11th, Drew in 7th, and William in 6th. I'm not sure why my babies thought I would be ok with them growing up!

We got a black lab named Sir Charles Henry Cornelous from a rescue. Macho Man has almost forgiven us for this deed.

I will post pictures from our summer adventures soon. When I have some "spare time"!

Katie's Prom

2011-04-29T15:07:00.000-06:00

Katie was finally well enough to go to Prom with all of her friends from Timpview. It was a fun time for all and they had a great time. All the girls were beautiful and the boys looked great! It is so great to have our Katie well and having fun again.

Katie and her date, Eric

The handsome boys

Acting Silly

All of the beautiful girls

What a good looking bunch!

It looks like it was a ton of fun.

Official Christmas Picture 2010

2011-01-07T16:06:00.000-07:00

We decided to take a silly family Christmas picture this year. We all dressed up like it was 1987 and then let the pictures come. Our friend, Mark Johnston, took all the pictures. We had a great time doing them.

Cholesterol and Marathon training

2011-01-01T23:25:00.000-07:00

Christian and I have both been diagnosed with high cholesterol. I have known about mine for a little while, but he just found out last week. Even though neither of us are insanely huge, we both pack around a few extra pounds. Starting this week, we will be on low cholesterol diets. I will have to figure out how to do this and have everything taste good.

Strangely enough, without knowing about Christian's high cholesterol but realizing that we needed some fitness goals, Christian and I signed up to run the Ogden Marathon with Team in Training. They are with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and they help us train for a marathon, and in turn, we raise money for leukemia research. I'm pretty excited for it! I think I'm going to create a separate blog about our training adventures starting next week. I hope to have a new camera by then since mine is not working so well anymore.

Christmas 2010

2010-12-29T23:31:00.000-07:00

Christmas Eve was spent at my mom's house in Provo. We had Christmas morning at home. It was great to have all four kids at home this year. Lizzie spent a week with us since all of her roommates were out of town. Drew got to stay for 10 days this year. It was a great Christmas!

We got married!

2010-10-24T11:06:00.000-06:00

Christian and I got married on October 2, 2010. It was so awesome. I could tell you, but you still wouldn't be able to believe how awesome it was. Really. I am so glad that so many of our friends and family were able to come and spend the day with us. I want to have a wedding reunion where everyone who came comes back so I can hang out with them some more. The day was like a whirlwind! A whirlwind filled with awesome.

Update

2010-08-29T13:19:00.000-06:00

One of our engagement photos.

Just a quick update on The Family. We bought a cute house in Orem and moved last April. Heather graduated with a bachelor's degree in Nursing, also in April. Christian finished his first year of aviation school and completed his private pilot licensing. He is now working for UVU as a web developer for the Aviation department. Lizzie graduated from Timpview High School in May and has started attending UVU. Katie has survived transferring to a new high school. William started 5th grade at his new elementary school and is in soccer. Drew has begun 6th grade and got braces. Oh, and one little thing- Christian and Heather are getting married on October 2, 2010. This year has been crazy awesome for The Family so far.

Avenue Q

2010-02-07T03:31:00.001-07:00

We had the opportunity to see the Tony Award winning Avenue Q while it was touring. It came to the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City. It was great! I recommend it to anyone. I know that there is some controversy over the language and subject matter, but I know I've seen and heard worse on prime time TV and at the mall. The message of this show is amazing- believe in yourself, love your friends, and be kind and helpful to your fellow man.

Pictures finally downloaded

2010-01-30T16:32:00.001-07:00

I have finally downloaded my camera. Here is a taste of the updates to come.

Update

2010-01-04T12:25:00.000-07:00

So much has happened that I haven't updated on. Thanksgiving was great, Drew was able to be with us. We made it through another semester of college and school. Christian passed his FAA private pilot written test and is still working on getting his flight hours in. Christmas was a success, even though I worked Christmas Eve and Christmas night. We made family goals for the year, not resolutions. Resolutions are for breaking! I will post pictures soon enough... I hope! Here's to a FABULOUS 2010 for all my family and friends.

Lizzie's driving!

2009-11-18T17:43:00.000-07:00

Lizzie finally got her driver's permit. She's a senior in high school so we figured it was time. Today we took her driving for the first time in her life. We lived through it!

Lizzie so happy to have her permit.

First time behind the wheel! She looks a little nervous.

Lizzie's friend, James, came along for the ride. He looks terrified.

Stop, foul squirrel!

You must not hit the children, Liz.

Actually it was a really fun time and Liz did a great job. We are teaching her how to drive on the Saturn because it is a stick shift. We found a new subdivision in Provo that doesn't have any houses on it yet, but the streets are paved. We'll be going back to that location again!

William's braces

2009-11-08T20:01:00.003-07:00

William got braces on his front four teeth about 6 weeks ago. He had a cross bite and some of his top teeth were pushing against his bottom teeth. This is just phase II of William's orthodontic plan. Phase I involved a spacer that had to be adjusted every night on the roof of his mouth.

One last shot of his "before" teeth before he went back.

This was about 5 minutes after his braces went on.

This is literally 3 days after the braces were applied. He had been in so much pain for days and it was his teeth moving at such a rapid rate.

Lizzie had to get some camera time in. Lizzie is my only kid out of 4 who doesn't need orthodontic work.

Now that it is 6 weeks later, we have noticed that William's bottom teeth are straightening out a little since the top teeth aren't putting such pressure on the bottoms.

Halloween Party '09

2009-11-04T22:16:00.005-07:00

We held our family Halloween Party on Friday night, the night before Halloween. Even though I had been sick for three weeks leading up to it, the night was successful. Everyone had a great time!

Helga, the barmaid from Germany.

Cousin Rachel and sleepy Joker.

Rachel and her friend, Justin get down with the Star Wars theme.

Dipti and Stefanie. This was Dipti's first American Halloween.

Mom, me, and Stef.

My mom was a fortune teller but I think she looked like David Bowie!

Roscoe and William. Roscoe was scared when he first saw William in costume!

Why so serious?

Lizzie and I as Mafia bosses.

Katie was the purple fairy. With sass, of course...

Christian and Jimmy, the two hottest babes at the party!

Homecoming

2009-10-14T21:04:00.004-06:00

William spent the entire summer in Georgia with his dad- 10 whole weeks. His sisters joined him for the second half. They got home August 15th and we were so happy to see them again. William grew about 3 inches while he was gone. Lizzie's best friend Millie came to the airport with us.

Finally getting his mouse ears from Disneyland. I feel bad that we couldn't take him.

Disneyland

2009-10-14T20:50:00.004-06:00

Way, way back in June we took Drew to Disneyland for her first time. It was so much fun. I can't wait until we go back. With all the kids next time. In my defense, we were exhausted and the pictures of Christian and I really show it.

311

2009-07-02T18:22:00.004-06:00

I'm a little late in publishing this. We went to the 311 concert back on June 11. It was fun. There were a whole lot of white Rasta kids from the suburbs trying to act cool but the music was amazing. Mark, Britnee, Eli, Jeff, and Katie were all there. I got to meet Eli's cute new girlfriend, Cheri as well. Very nice girl!

I ordered a Blackberry. I'm excited! I can't wait for it to get here.

William

2009-06-02T12:58:00.004-06:00

William left this morning to spend the summer with his dad in Georgia. I have never been away from my boy for so long! I have never been away from any of my kids for more than 5 days at a time. There are 75 or so days till he gets home. I hope it flies and that he has fun. We went to the park on Sunday and had a lot of fun and took some pictures.

Rubberduckzilla!

2009-05-21T22:49:00.001-06:00

Have I mentioned how much I love Japanese commercials? I think I have.

Photos with Mark Johnston

2009-05-08T14:20:00.004-06:00

Our friend, Mark Johnston, is a photographer of the highest magnitude. We are so lucky to have him as a friend. About two weeks ago he, Christian, Katie, and Mark's girlfriend Britnee, went down to Utah Lake on a super cold day and took some awesome photos.

On a side note, neither Mark nor Christian smoke. They just had cigars and cigarettes to get into the characters.

The truth

2009-04-29T21:05:00.001-06:00

Obama rocks. 'Nuff said.

Photo Tag

2009-04-17T20:28:00.004-06:00

My friend Donna tagged me with this one. Go to the 4th folder in your picture files and post the 4th photo in it.

This is Katie and me at Muse Music back in February. I took the kids to a local music concert and we had so much fun! I love spending time with my kids doing fun and different activities with them.

I tag whoever wants to participate in this madness.

April 1st

2009-04-01T22:52:00.001-06:00

Also known as April Fool's Day. We did absolutely nothing to fool or trick anyone today. We are boring. The End.

Meeting my family

2009-03-23T21:56:00.002-06:00

My dad is from New Jersey and he and my mom divorced when I was too young to remember him. He's had a lot of things he has had to deal with over the years and has not been a part of my life. About 10 years ago, I found his sister, Barbara, and through her found my Grandma Brown. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet any of them but since I went to New York I figured this could be now or never. My sweet grandma is now 84 and I am so glad that I finally got to meet her. Melissa came with me and documented the whole thing.

Me and my Grandma Brown at cousin Margarete's house.

Me and my dad's sister, Aunt Barbara. She was the initial contact all those years ago. When she saw me for the first time she said "You look like your dad!"

Aunt Barbara's husband, Ken, showing off a hat.

Looking at family pictures. My cousin Margarete is showing me her family albums. My grandma is standing at her left.

Me and Grandma Brown. We went to eat at a local diner.

Broadway

2009-03-23T21:39:00.004-06:00

Melissa and I went to see the Broadway musical "Hair" the last night I was in town. We bought our tickets at 3:30 the afternoon of the show and had awesome seats. Fourth row from the stage. At the end the cast has audience members come up and dance and sing with them and I went up. I wasn't going to do it but Melissa said I would regret it if I didn't. I think she may have been right. It was so invigorating!

Looking fancy. It was only about 40 degrees outside.

Warmer in our coats.

Being silly.

The cast that we saw.

The Playbill cover picture. This really was an amazing experience.

More New York

2009-03-23T21:20:00.004-06:00

Here are a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Even the police station in Times Square is up in lights.

Two crazy girls on the town

Me and Chris at Times Square

We missed the last ferry to the Statue of Liberty and never made it back out. It was cool to see it across the harbor though.

Vendor dog! It was delish

Central Park

Memorial to John Lennon

New York City

2009-03-23T18:03:00.004-06:00

I was able to go to New York City from March 17 to 22. My best friend, Melissa, was hired as a flight attendant for Delta Airlines last year and moved from Provo to Queens. Our other best friend, Chris, went too. We had so much fun. It was my first time in the Big Apple and we lived it up! I got there in the early morning hours of St. Patrick's day and after a short nap we took the subway down to Times Square. We saw the St. Patrick's day parade up 5th Avenue, ate New York pizza, and went to a couple of bars. So different there than in Utah. There were hundreds of firefighters in uniform who had just been in the parade buying rounds and toasting each other. Melissa and I got in the spirit by buying green top hats in time square.

Friday night at Muse

2009-02-27T16:51:00.005-07:00

Last Friday night, the kids and I decided to go to a live music show at Muse Music in Provo. Going to that type of event is fun for all of us and WAY better than watching yet another Hollywood movie. We have set a family goal to do one activity like this a month, whether it is Gallery Stroll on the first Friday night of every month or a concert or museum. It beats a weekend with nothing to report to your friends come Monday. Here are a few of the pictures from that night.

Some crazy kids with a homemade Chinese dragon. They were running up and down University Ave.

Liz and the only picture we got of any of the performers.

Our family friend, Mark, met up with us about an hour after the show started. This is the best picture of me to come out of the night.

Me and my Katie

Me and my Lizzie

I have nothing to say about this one.

We were trying to look cool. I don't think we achieved it.

The best neon sign ever. I want one in my house.

Cool old school photo booth.

This is in the front part of Muse where they have a small cafe. I had an amazing turkey and pesto panni and Liz had the best grilled cheese sandwich that I have ever tasted, EVER. William and Katie both had Apple Cinnamon muffins.

We really had a great time even though Christian was at his Friday night game night with the guys. I had great fun getting to spend some time with my kids and we all just loved the show.

Spring is in the air!

2009-02-19T15:54:00.002-07:00

I know that I'm a little premature on this, but today is so beautiful. I can't wait for spring to come and flowers to grow. I think that if the weather holds I will be working in the yard just a little this weekend. I can tell it is getting close though, because I have such an urge to open all the windows in the house and clean everything! Clear out the storage room of everything we don't use and don't need and make a D.I. run. Yay for spring!!!!!

More Vegas.

2009-02-04T22:29:00.004-07:00

One of the things we did on our trip was go to Madame Tussauds wax museum. I wanted to go so badly and the other 3 were vetoing it. We were able to get discount tickets and that softened their hearts some. Afterward they were all happy that I insisted so much.

I think this one speaks for itself.

Yay, Obama!

Steff could have gotten our asses shot up flashing those gang signs.

So Christian and I couldn't get married in Vegas because he got plastered and married George Clooney instead.

I've heard that I looked like Cameron Diaz a few times. What do you think?

Johnny Depp looked the most real to me. I kept expecting it to move!

Threesome between Joe, Jenna, and Steff. Sexy!

If I play my hand right I may be the next Playboy bunny.

Christian could be the next James Bond. At least I think so.

Vegas, Baby!

2009-02-04T22:16:00.002-07:00

We went to Las Vegas January 16-19. Our friends, Joe and Steffanie McCombs, came along with us and we had a blast! We stayed at the Luxor, went to see Phantom of the Opera and Zumanity plus exhibits and shopping. Only a very small amount of drinking for Christian and me. The frozen daquiris you see below were basically it.

Mine was 28 ounces but Christian's was a whopping 44 ounces!

Steff was trying to take our picture at an Italian restaurant that we went to and we couldn't get a good one. Either my eyes were closed or his were. This picture is a perfect example. This was taken BEFORE we drank.

Me and Steff getting lucky with a leprechaun.

Not sure where they were taking the port a pots but they were flying high over the strip.

Metal man was awesome.

Thank you, India

2009-01-27T18:25:00.002-07:00

I love Bollywood. I never wanted this commercial to stop!

Sheryl

2009-01-25T23:26:00.002-07:00

Sheryl is a student at Ameritech College of Nursing. I had the privilege to work with her one on one during her final semester of school. She is so smart and quick to pick up on things. Now that she is finished I really miss working with her. She is going to be an awesome RN!

Poor girl was sick with a cold her last day with me. She had to wear a mask so she wouldn't pass it along.

Here we are at about 5:30 am at the end of our shift.

Crazy year so far

2009-01-22T16:00:00.002-07:00

I know that we are only in to 2009 3 weeks but we have had a lot of stuff going on. My 33rd birthday was January 7th. I feel better at 33 than I did at 23! Christian and I went to Las Vegas for MLK weekend. I'll put up the pictures soon. Katie fell down the stairs at her dad's house and broke her toe. We started a new semester at school so we're back in the grind. I had my first preceptor student at the hospital and she finished her time with me on Tuesday night. Sheryl is going to be a great nurse! I would write more now, but it's time to get ready for work. I'll expand on all of these when I get time.

Snowing like mad

2009-01-06T00:15:00.002-07:00

It started snowing around 2 in the afternoon on Monday and it is still going. I have no idea how many inches we have gotten but it is deep enough to go well up your pant leg when you step in it. It is perfect Utah powder which probably makes the skiers and snow boarders really happy. I just have to put up with it.

The reflection from a snowflake that was just passing by.

The two little, glowing, orange dots in the door frame are Macho Man's eyes. He wanted to see what Christian was doing. My Saturn is off to the side.

Christian's BMW.

Christmas (better late than never)

2009-01-05T23:57:00.004-07:00

We had a great Christmas. Sheldon and Dawn came down for a while, then Shawn and Cass with their two kids. My mom, Stef and Roscoe came over about that same time so the house was packed to capacity. Millie (Lizzie's best friend who recently moved to Texas) showed up only minutes later. We had five kids for the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Christian had to be mister mom 4 nights while I worked and he handled it like a trooper.

Dawn and Drew

Sheldon and William

Me with the socks and slippers my sister bought me.

Christian and new underwear!!!

William's Zelda shirt. He LOVED it!

Liz with the hoodie style handbag that Christian bought her.

All Katie wanted was slouchy boots. These ones got returned (wrong size) and and even slouchier pair purchased.

Drew with her new hat and her art kit.

What beard?

2008-12-28T12:12:00.004-07:00

After six long months (plus 3 days, but who's counting?), Christian decided it was time to shave. It was his birthday on December 15, and his drivers license had to be renewed. He didn't really want to look like a terrorist or Charles Manson on it, so it was time to take it all off.

This is when he got to his old Chinese man phase of the shaving. I walked in the front door and he started yelling at me in fake Chinese and shaking the broomstick at me. I laughed so hard.

Getting closer...

Look at that beautiful face! I had forgotten what a handsome man I have. So smooth. So sexy!

Third Annual Christmas Party

2008-12-28T12:00:00.004-07:00

I had my third annual Christmas party a couple of weeks ago with (almost) all of my friends. I had a few who couldn't come because they had work. It was a great time and I loved getting to see my friends.

Me and my honey. He is the best Christmas present I could ever ask for!

Me and my best friend, Melissa. You can see part of my tattoo hanging out. Ha ha.

This is one of my best friends, Chris. It is so great to have him back this year. Last year he was in New Zeland on company business during my Christmas party.

Steff Mc Combs and me. I should haul out the picture of both of us from last year's party. She has lost over 40 pounds since then and I have lost about 20. Thank you, Weight Watchers!

Kasey and David Olsen. I love these two! They call me their Diva. I am so glad they were able to come!

How we met...

2008-12-14T15:41:00.003-07:00

Yesterday was our 20 month-iversary. I am so happy to be with Christian. He makes me feel all warm and cozy. I think he likes me too, ha ha. So I thought I would share with you how we met.

1. Where did you meet? We met in Melissa's car on our way to go to 80's night at Area 51. She was dating his roommate at the time and it was a quasi setup.

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? Oh thank God that he's not ugly.

3. Do you remember what he/she was wearing? A nice button up shirt and jeans

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? The last day of our Moab trip.

5. Where did you go for your first date? The day after we met we went on a 3 day trip to Moab with Melissa and Walker (Christian's roommate). It was a VERY last minute thing.

6. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Roughly 22 hours. Ha!

7. How did he/she ask you out? We just agreed that we didn't want to see anyone else.

8. How did he propose to you? It's not going to happen.

9. Do you and this person have kids together? Well I have 3 and he has 1 and we love them all together, but no, we don't have any genetically together.

10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? I don't think so

11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person? After getting home from dancing.

12. Do you trust this person? Completely.

13. Do you see her/him as your partner in your future? Oh yeah

14. What is the best gift she/he gave you? Every day that I am with him is a gift. Plus he totally rocked last Christmas and surprised the heck out of me.

15. What is one thing He/She does that gets on your nerves? Nothing.

16. Where do you see each other 15 years from now? I hope in Austin working in our fields in a nice house and (possibly) some genetically "ours" little ones.

17. What causes the most arguments? We've never argued. No really, it's true.

18. How long have you been together? 20 months and one day.

19. Are you Married? Nope. I don't see the point of a government sanction for my relationship.

20. Who Do you Tag? Shawn and Cass, Amber and Matt, Dona, Joe and Steff, and Andrea.

Freezing!

2008-12-14T13:51:00.002-07:00

We had a good starter snow storm yesterday and temperatures down in the teens. I saw a few cars go skidding through the stop sign in front of the house last night. I had to put it in all wheel drive to go to the gym and to the grocery store. What really chaps me is that it is 73 degrees in Austin today. I really can't wait to move.

ER

2008-12-10T21:08:00.003-07:00

I posted a couple of days ago about my time in the ER trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. I have a couple of pictures from that night to share with you. I was taking them with my camera phone and sending them to Christian to keep him updated on what was going on while he was at my house watching the kids.

This is after I got checked in and was waiting to go back to a room.

My IV. I am scared to death of needles but my friend, Levi, who works in the ER as a tech did such an awesome job. I really didn't even feel it. After I took it out later there wasn't even a bruise. Let me take a moment to tell you how great Levi is. Levi- this shout out is for you!

Prop 8, the musical

2008-12-10T20:44:00.002-07:00

"Prop 8 - The Musical" starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more... by Jack Black

I know that the voting is long over, but I wonder what people who were for proposition 8 think about this? What would their lives be like if they really lived them "according to the teachings of the Bible"?

Pain!

2008-12-08T18:04:00.002-07:00

So I have been having this pain in the left side of my abdomen for about 2 months now. Finally last week I got of work early (at midnight) and went down to the ER. I did my final semester of nursing school there so I know almost all the nurses and techs. I told them about my pain and the doctor wanted me to have a CT scan of my abdomen. I had to drink contrast, one cup every 10 minutes for a total of 6 cups. That stuff is nasty! I now feel bad that I have to make my patients drink that stuff. Anyway after the contrast had worked its way through my GI tract I went and got my scan. It showed... NOTHING! Okay my spleen is slightly enlarged but that is to be expected with the mono. All my lab tests came back normal too. We now know what it isn't. I told the doctor that my pain usually comes after I eat and he recommended that I go to a gastroenterologist. He wants me to get my stomach scoped because it could be an ulcer. Fun for me. I'm going to wait until the first of the year because I have a deductible on my insurance that starts fresh every year. I hope that it is nothing too serious. If I don't eat between now and next year I should be pain free. Ha ha.

Coming Home

2008-12-03T23:37:00.003-07:00

Dawn and Sheldon will be coming home December 11, just in time for Christmas. Dawn is having some health issues that are better addressed here in the states. They left on an LDS mission in Argentina in March and were supposed to be gone for 23 months. I can't say that I am sad they aren't able to spend that entire time down there. We have missed them a lot.I just hope that Dawn can get everything back in working order.

Thanksgiving Adventure.

2008-11-28T12:21:00.004-07:00

This Thanksgiving was different from any that Christian or I have ever experienced. I worked the night before so I got home around 7 Thanksgiving morning. When I woke up around 2:30 that afternoon, I asked Christian how thawed the turkey was or if he had checked on it all week. He gave me a rather confused look and said that the turkey was still in the freezer. I gave him a rather confused look and said that the turkey was never supposed to be in the freezer. Turns out when I bought the turkey on Sunday and asked him to put it in his fridge because there wasn't enough room in mine, he heard put the turkey in the freezer since there wasn't enough room in mine. So the turkey was frozen solid like a rock.

We decided to run over to Walmart to see if they had any spiral hams available. Nope! We went to both Springville and Orem and neither place had hams. I thought- let's run by Smith's to see if they are open really quickly. It was 6:06pm and they closed at 6pm! They were shoving the last of the customers out the door as we arrived. Arg! We just should have gone there first.

So we got home and were both so dissapointed at this time. We realized that neither of us have had a Thanksgiving where we weren't surrounded by family. The kids got home from their dad's at this time and I was feeling like crud. I started to get a sore throat on Wednesday night and it hasn't gotten any better yet. I have a really funny sounding voice at this point too. We decided to postpone Thanksgiving to today so we could thaw the turkey overnight and so the kids would be home. Now that I'm up, I'll be cooking the rest of the day.

The beard

2008-11-25T14:08:00.003-07:00

Christian last shaved on June 12th. He has decided to grow out the beard until he is sick of it and that just hasn't happened yet. His beard is getting so long and so full that I can't even remember his face. His mustache is so long now that I have to part the hair or lift it to kiss him without getting a mouthful.

This is the side view. You can see how long it is. His neck is kinda hairy too.

His cute, smiling face. I think that Christian has one of the cutest faces in the world. I just wish that I could remember it!

His 30th birthday is coming up soon and his driver's license expires then. I told him he should shave it off for his new picture because he has the full beard on his student I.D. and looks quite a bit like Charles Manson- scary! Also I am hoping to have family pictures done this Christmas season if we can get Drew out here and I would love to have his face in those too. It is quite a fine beard. Many of our guy friends have told us they are jealous of Christian's beard growing abilities.

New Bedding

2008-11-24T19:07:00.004-07:00

I finally broke down and bought myself new bedding. I have been using the same bedspread for many years now and it wasn't really my style. It was something that I had made back when I was married and I was just over it. For the last month and a half or so, I have been using Christian's bedding trying to figure out what to do. Yesterday I went to Kohl's and got a 4 piece set that included the comforter, dust ruffle, and 2 pillow shams in dark chocolate brown for only $50. Then I ran over to Target and bought sheets and pillowcases in pale orange and some cream colored pillowcases to sew together to put over the body pillow. The last piece to the ensemble is a cream colored blanket that I bought at Walmart. I have never put together my own bedding set and I LOVE it! I now have to ask my friend, Chris Lowe, what colors to paint my bedroom. He's been helping me with the rest of the house.

I found a nice cream colored decorator pillow at Target that I'm going to get when take back the extra set of pillowcases that I accidently bought.

WTF?

2008-11-16T12:52:00.002-07:00

I bought a new blow dryer about two or three weeks ago. Last night when I was drying my hair this tag fell off of the cord and I read it for the first time:

Warning: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical know to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

What the eff? Why would the manufacturer put lead in the cord? I have been using this blow dryer (which I love) for this long and didn't see that warning before. What if I had been a pregnant mom-to-be and was using this dryer? I would have ended up with a messed up baby. It's a good thing that I always wash my hands after I do my hair anyway because I have serious hand washing issues (it's probably the nurse in me). Now I can't let my girls use this dryer. It's a good thing they have their own.

Tag! I'm it

2008-11-15T20:39:00.004-07:00

My friend Donna tagged me with this one.

List 6 strange or quirky things about yourself:

1- I work nights and love it
I work an all night shift from 6 pm to 6 am. I have tried other nursing shifts and they wear on me. When I work days starting a 6 am I wake up all night worried that I have overslept my alarm clock. I am so sleep deprived when I work "normal" hours.

2- I was 30 years old before I went to a concert
Actually I was 30 years old before I did a lot of things that most people consider a rite of passage. That was the age when I first went on vacation by myself, went dancing in a bar, bought my own music CD's, and many other things. The old saying "Life begins at 30" was true for me.

3- I play World of Warcraft
This one isn't as strange because many people play WoW. It's just that most of them aren't 32 year old mothers of 3 who go to work and school full time. I don't quite fit the "nerd" image that most people hold in their minds but I really am a full time nerd. I embrace this.

4- I can't stay awake for a movie
No, really. I have started so many movies that I can't count them. People at work will talk about this great movie and I have to say either "Stop! Don't talk about that, I haven't finished it yet." or "Oh, that sounds like a great part. I fell asleep before that happened." The only time I stay awake for a movie is when we go to the theater, but not every time.

5- I love karaoke- sober
I don't have the best voice or stage presence. I often sing songs that are COMPLETELY out of my vocal range (which is only 2 notes). My motto happens to be "If you can't sing well, sing loud". But I cannot deny the total adrenaline rush that come along with getting up on a stage in front of perfect strangers and singing. It is better than any buzz alcohol can provide.

6- I live NEXT DOOR to my boyfriend
That is the one that people think is the weirdest. We moved in to the same apartment building after we had been dating just a little while- I think around 3 or 4 months- and have decided that this arrangement works out the best for us. We can see each other all that we want to, we are not financially dependent on each other, we have our own spaces, and we have two kitchens- especially awesome when the holidays roll around. I'm sure at some point we will live in the same house but now is just not the time for that.

I tag Shawn and Cass, Dona Shock, Eleanor Cleverly, Casey Esplin, Lindsay Carrick, and Andrea.

Dreaming of warmer places

2008-11-14T12:44:00.003-07:00

I would love to move away after graduation. I have lived in Utah since 1988 and never when I moved here did I think that I would get stuck here. For 21 cold winters I have hated the snow, the cold, the gray. I need to leave this town, leave this culture (where I don't quite fit in), and go somewhere warmer. Christian's parents lived in Austin, Texas for about 5 years before they left on their mission. Christian lived down there for a few months after his divorce and all of them say it's a really nice place to live. The weather is warm, the housing is affordable, there are plenty of jobs in both Christian and my fields, and there are many concerts and events to go to. I have no idea if we will actually be able to move since I share joint custody of the kids with my ex-husband, but for now I can dream of warmer places. I have placed the weather tracker for both Austin and Provo in my sidebar for comparison purposes.

My fitness journey

2008-11-13T20:45:00.002-07:00

As many of you know, I struggle to maintain my weight. I come from a family of very large women who have taken diet pills, starved themselves, and even had stomach bypass surgery to try to keep a healthy weight. Most of them have failed. They have many health problems due to the fat on their bodies and many of them have died before reaching 65. I want to enjoy my life now and enjoy many years after I reach retirement age. I don't want to just be alive- I want to LIVE. I have started a new blog that is about my road to fitness here. I will be updating it regularly with things that I am doing that are working and I will add the things that aren't working too. As I find healthy recipes or exercise plans that are awesome I will share them. My goals are many but the two main ones are: be down to my healthy weight range of 135-138 by my 33rd birthday (January 7) and to run the Salt Lake City half-marathon (April 18). I will be making many small goals along the way and keep my progress updated. Wish me luck!

Cool

2008-11-12T21:10:00.005-07:00

One of my favorite things to do is look at other people's blogs and then steal ideas from them. This was up on my friend's MySpace. I thought it was cool.

so stinking busy

2008-11-12T18:22:00.003-07:00

Today has been housekeeping day. My house is seriously so messy that is is verging on dirty. I am trying to decide if getting a housekeeping service once or twice a week is worth it. The kids and Christian help me clean but it just isn't staying together. There are times that I miss being a stay home mom. These times include but are not limited to: when i get up an hour after going to sleep after work to take William to school, seeing the growing pile of laundry in the corner of my room, seeing the kitchen looking like the cupboards exploded all over the counter tops, and being too tired to do anything about any of it on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, I actually love the fact that I have a full time job that was meant for me. I love that my kids are getting older and more independent. I love going to school to pursue my bachelors then masters degrees. I love that the family is getting better at seeing that there is a mess and doing something about it. I guess I just wish that I had more time in the day to get everything done that needs to be.

The memory game

2008-11-06T14:03:00.001-07:00

I saw this on my nieces's blog and I think it looks fun... Here we go!!

1. Add a comment on my blog. Leave one memory that you have had with either Heather or Christian, It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about us, we'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Yes, we can!

2008-11-05T14:29:00.003-07:00

I'm so excited to see what our future has in store. I am proud of my fellow Americans who stood up and had their voices heard. Yes, we really can!

Jesu Cristo

2008-11-01T21:07:00.003-06:00

Here is the ultimate picture of Christian in his costume. Our friend, John, took this picture and when we looked at it we couldn't believe what we saw! The lighting was just perfect.

Halloween Party 2

2008-11-01T20:58:00.004-06:00

Here are a few more pictures from the Halloween party.

Halloween Party

2008-11-01T20:50:00.003-06:00

We had a Halloween/ Rock Band 2 Party. It was so much fun. A lot of our friends came over and played with us. My house was a mad house! It is small but we all had a blast.

Graveyard cake.

Jesus washing the dishes. Nice apron!

Liz, John, and Josh playing Rock Band.

The Devil and Jesus- so cozy.

Bad Devil! ( Look at that smile. I think she likes it)

Halloween

2008-11-01T20:42:00.003-06:00

Liz and Katie scooping out pumpkin guts. Liz was a cat and somehow we didn't get a picture of her in her costume. You can see the leopard spotted capri pants though.

We ended up with only two jack-o-lanterns. When Liz took the lid off from hers it was moldy and gross inside. She helped William carve his instead.

William was Link from Zelda. A whole lot of love and time went into me sewing his costume but he LOVES it! He wore it today too. I told him that he can wear it as much as he wants on weekends.

Katie was Marilyn Monroe. I think that she pulls it off nicely.

I wish I would have put the fan on her so that she had the Seven Year Itch pose. She looks great anyway.

Oktoberfest

2008-11-01T20:34:00.004-06:00

These pictures are about two months old now. I am just getting around to transferring what is on my camera to the computer. We had a blast at Oktoberfest up at Snowbird this year. Our friends Jared, Dave, Josh, Chris, and Shauna were able to come with us.

Christian, Chris, Me, and Jared at the top of Hidden Peak at Snowbird.

Me and Chris in the tent about to eat our bratwurst.

Up periscope!

It was really windy at the top of the mountain.

... REALLY windy.

Mono

2008-10-28T17:38:00.002-06:00

I have not blogged lately as I have been sleeping a ton. I have had a replay of mono. I got it two years ago and *lucky me* it is back. My first symptoms were a lot like strep throat- a sore, scratchy throat. Then my tonsils and spleen ballooned to abnormal sizes. Then came the tired. I am a girl who usually sleeps about 5 hours a night and I am just fine. Lately 12 -14 hours isn't enough. It has side railed my house painting project and sewing William a Halloween job almost completely. I have used up all of my paid time off at work and will have to go in sick now. Darn!

iPod

2008-10-15T20:52:00.006-06:00

I am so upset right now. I bought a new iPod at the beginning of the school year- an 8GB nano. About a week later Apple announced that it would release a 16GB nano for only $10 more than what I paid for this one. ARG! Then today, my stupid iPod has stopped working. It is frozen on one screen and with the background lighting still on. It is frustrating beyond belief. All I want to do is transfer some new music to it and blast it while I paint the apartment. Sheesh!

A year and a half

2008-10-15T00:14:00.002-06:00

Christian and I have been dating now for a year and a half. I can honestly say that this has been the most blissful, peaceful time in my life. I never knew that I could be loved so completely and be treated so well. He makes me smile and laugh all the time. He is perfectly okay with my inner nerd and my weird quirks (like the one where I walk through the house turning off all the lights hourly). We have turned our house(s) in to a virtual nerdatorium. I love knowing that no matter the situation I can always tell him the truth. We have never had an argument (and yes people, that IS healthy) because we agree on most major issues and never sweat the small stuff. He has helped me grow in ways I never imagined possible. I love this man!!!!!

Bailout

2008-10-09T21:15:00.003-06:00

nataliedee.com

So the last two Natalie Dee comics are funny until you realize how true they are. I have been comparing this bailout to me getting in a lot of debt and running my finances into the ground then expecting my mom or granddad to bail me out. Or I could compare it to using a boyfriend (but not my dearest Christian) for his money only. I don't want to be these corporations' suga mama, but I am and you are and our great grandchildren are too. It is a lovely legacy being left for the future. I hope that we don't get four more years of "leadership" like the eight that have brought us to this mess.

I gotta move

2008-09-17T21:18:00.004-06:00

These last two posts make it look like I'm some sort of alcoholic, but I rarely drink. I just hate to live in a state that has such an obvious church rule. The alcohol laws in Utah are ridiculous. This blog on Utah Beer points out yet another stupid law that we have to endure. Note- it is not just "alco-pops" that are being removed from store shelves but also flavored beers such as raspberry wheat beer or apricot pale ales. Also Anheuser-Buschis saying that they won't even distribute their flavored malt beverages within state borders because dealing with the laws and red tape isn't worth the headache.

I miss a state that I haven't even lived in yet.

LDS church issues a statement on alcohol...

2008-09-17T21:18:00.001-06:00

I love living in a state where there is NO separation of church and state. Read here to see what I mean.

Fight Kikkoman!

2008-09-12T14:18:00.000-06:00

I love Japanese cartoons. I love soy sauce. What more can I say?

Closer

2008-09-04T17:13:00.003-06:00

The only real disappointment that Christian had was that they didn't play Star F**ker. He really likes that song. I had no disappointments at all. It was so great.

Hurt (first part)

2008-09-04T17:02:00.001-06:00

Hurt

2008-09-04T15:47:00.002-06:00

When Hurt began it was after the stage had gone dark and I thought that the show was over. They had already been playing for almost 2 hours at this point. Then the single spotlight shone down on Trent and he started singing. I shot this video in 2 parts because I happened to get a text right in the middle of it.

Nine Inch Nails

2008-09-04T10:33:00.002-06:00

Christian and I went to the Nine Inch Nails concert last night. It was AMAZING!!! I have never been to a concert where the main band played for 2 1/2 hours with total enthusiasm. Trent Reznor and his band rocked on stage. I have no words to describe just how awesome this was. I have video that I shot that I will post after I get back from school. Hopefully I will be able to describe my experience by then too.

My motto

2008-08-27T22:40:00.003-06:00

I have had a ton of trials in my life. I could get all down about the things I've gone through, but I choose a happy outlook and a bright disposition (or it chooses me) for the most part. It takes a lot to get me in a bad mood usually and I love life. I found a cartoon short from the lovely people at Pixar Studios who have made a film with my motto.

Link William

2008-08-27T20:35:00.003-06:00

William came running out of his bedroom today all dressed up as Link from Zelda. He made the costume out of clothes and things he had in his room already. Pretty creative!

Now he is saying that he wants to be Link for Halloween. I think I should let him. What do you think?

Cute is What We Aim For

2008-08-12T12:36:00.008-06:00

There is this great band called Cute is What We Aim For that we discovered about 2 1/2 years ago. Lizzie saw them at her first concert and then a year later Katie saw them at her first concert. Last week all 3 of us went and saw them. After the concert we were able to get to meet the band. The girls had a great time!

This is the lead singer, Shaant, with my darling daughters. I wish it wasn't so dark or that Mark wasn't in PA so that he could show me how to fix it.

This was taken before the sweating started.

And for your viewing pleasure, the first Cute is What We Aim For song that our little family ever heard

Lizzie is 16!

2008-08-12T12:24:00.004-06:00

Lizzie turned 16 yesterday. For her party on Saturday, she wanted what every other 16 year old girl on the planet wants- A My Little Pony Cake. The cake could have been better but I had been awake about 36 hours when I made it. I still think it turned out pretty cute.

Liz had some of her best friends over on Saturday, but the batteries in my camera died so I didn't get many photos of them.

Yesterday we took her to Tucanos for her birthday lunch. The waiter made her dance while they sang to her or they threatened to give her ice cream to Katie.

This is the man that Katie made out of a roll, two beans, a cherry, and some brisket for the hair. The waiters said that they had never seen anything like that before and everyone was laughing. It was pretty creative.

For some reason I can't get this photo to turn the right way. If Christian were awake right now I would have him help me. Oh well! Here are my lovely children mugging it up at Tucanos.

I support Barack

2008-08-05T23:58:00.006-06:00

I am announcing my support of Barack Obama for president. I think that he can help our country head back in the right direction. Our economy is in the toilet, we have troops in a country where they don't belong. I am paying $4.15 a gallon for gasoline and I think that Barack is just the change that we need right now. Who's with me?

Running

2008-08-05T16:19:00.003-06:00

When I got divorced I started running. I completed only one 5K race, the Salt Lake City 5K that is at the same time as the SLC marathon. It was so much fun! After that I started nursing school and let that be my excuse to not run so much. In January I started training for the SLC half marathon in April but a knee injury kept me from that. I have been going to a sports medicine chiropractor and doing some work on my knees, feet, hips and back to get me to the point where I'll be able to run again. Well that time has come. I am starting to run and would like to start running 5K races again. I have decided to not run anything longer for now and focus on getting faster. My goal is to run 6 5K races by next April. I figure if I make my goal public I will be more bound to do it.

Before my first 5 K.

After.

Finishing the race was such a great feeling and I can't wait to start doing it again. I bet that if I do all the running that I plan I may be able to run the half marathon next April in SLC.

San Diego Zoo

We went to the San Diego Zoo the second day that we were there. It was awesome! We saw so many cool animals. We also realized that we are completely gypped in the zoo department back here in Utah. The displays were incredible. We got to ride the sky tram and the double decker bus around too. We all had a blast.

The kids petting a goat in the children's zoo.

Yes, I made them pose for this picture. They all complained loudly but I know that they secretly loved it.

My monkey boys.

This polar bear was just lounging in the sun the whole time.

William and I in front of an Asian elephant.

The coolest snake picture I took. They had so many types of snakes and lizards. We were all fascinated.

William was not too keen on petting the lizard.

A beautiful macaw. There were lots of exotic birds and we got to see a group of macaws free fly through the zoo.

Ridin' the lizard.

The lighter colored goat had an attitude problem the whole time we were there. He didn't like all of the little kids around trying to touch him. The darker goat got too close and so the lighter one started head butting him. They had it out for a few minutes.

La Jolla Shores

We went to La Jolla shores the first and second day that we were in Southern California. We drove straight there before we went to the hotel. I needed ocean!

Okay, I know that I should post pictures of myself in a swimsuit, but I'm gonna anyway.

William got so cold the first day that we were there. I had to wrap him in two towels and cuddle up with him so that his lips would turn back to pink. They were blue for quite some time.

Katie, Christian, and Liz leaving the beach the first day.

My hairy beach beast.

Christian, Liz, and Katie out wave jumping. William and I had come back in at this point because he was freezing!

This was a group of people who were training for a triathlon. The swam to the point that you can see in the distance. It was a mile in each direction.

San Diego here we come!

I have been in serious need of a vacation for a while now. So I ended up with a few days off in a row at the hospital and Christian got Monday off at school. We're packing our bags and leaving today for San Diego. We are making a one night stop in St. George today to visit my granddad. He has had some heart problems the last few months that elevated to congestive heart failure a week ago. That scares me so much! I'll have pictures to post when I'm back.

This is how I live

Batman

2008-07-20T22:53:00.002-06:00

We went and saw The Dark Knight with the kids today. It was brilliant. Not a lot of movies out there can top it. Heath Ledger became the joker. I don't think that there is any actor out there that can play that role now that he's dead. The movie had me hooked the entire time. Usually I fall asleep at the movies but this time there was no way that was happening! I recommend The Dark Knight to all of my friends.

This is the only way I'm getting married again

I told Christian today that if we were ever to get married this would have to be our minister. This guy, not some look alike. I think it is the only way I am ever going to get married again.

Walk instead

I wanted to post this video, but I am not a Jib Jab member. I think that they are great but I don't feel the need to give them money. So I give you this link instead. Watch. Enjoy.
