1. Favorite pair of shoes right now....
That's a funny one for those who know me I believe I wear my slippers EVERYWHERE! Don't they qualify as shoes?

2. My New Years Resolution?
What's that? I have never been the resolutions type, maybe that's why I never accomplish anything! If I had to make one right now it might be to get up everyday and make my family breakfast. Okay maybe four times a week to be realistic.
3. Are you listening to music right now?
Frankie is watching nickelodean D D D DORA. I hear that almost all day.
4. If you had $200 dollars to spend on yourself?
That one's hard. I think I would have to buy my husband some new sunglasses first then I would go for whatever else I could get in the budget shoes, jeans, food, pedicure, oils, MAC lipstick and eyeshadow you think I have gone over yet?
5. Random Thought...
Why do I never want to get ready and go anywhere?
Why can't my husband just let me get rid of our dog who has made my house smell like pee?
Why am I a sucker to Frankie sleeping in my bed?
Why do I want to go shopping when I have no money?
Why are groceries so dang expensive? I can't get out of Walmart under 80 bucks. It blows!
Why do so many of my good friends have to live out of town? I miss you all!
Why do I never see my friends that live in the same town? I miss you too!
Why do I never have anything to blog?
Why do I wish I could get a new car with a 700 dollar a month payment? What a waste of money.
Why has nobody called on my house for sale? I just want to rebuild up the street and cut my payment in half. What's wrong with that?
Where has all my energy and ambition gone? I only had for a few weeks but it is disappearing quickly.
Why did I just drop my cordless and break the antenna?
6. Favorite place in the city you live in?
Really? I can't think of one. It has to be food since that's all I do and now that Sharky's is gone. Totally depressing. I have been going to Durango's it is higher than Cafe Rio on my list and then I must say Inta Juice. My favorite this week is Luscious Lemon, try it!

7. Book you are reading?
I am with Lindsey, can't wait for The Host. I have tried others since Eclipse but can't get into them. I am thinking of trying this. Anyone read it?

I tag...Katie, Kena, Brit Greco and Andrea.
I will be waiting

A Season to LOVE!

Since it is the season here is a list of my "Loves".

1. My Husband. For wanting me to stay at home. There for being one of the hardest working people I know and never complaining.
2. That all my favorite shows are right now on TV. (Survivor, One Tree Hill, Prison Break, House, ER, Friday Night Lights, American Idol. My Husband loves Lost and so do the rest of you so I am going to have to try it this season as well. Since I don't already have enough wasted time on my DVR. haha)
3. That I got my mini van back today. I forgot how much I liked it until I drove it home.
4. That Brianna is coming down next weekend.
5. Papa Murphy's Gourmet Veggie pizza. DELISH! (minus the mushrooms of course)
6. The Parade of Homes starts on Friday.
7. Smoothies from Inta Juice. Cran-Orange is my fave so far but I am sure that will change as I try them all.
8. All the sweats and cozy pants I wear EVERYDAY (yes Bree and Linds with my slippers) since I dare say I don't get ready any more!
9. The fact I still haven't had a laundry pile on my bed or my floor since I brought my washer and dryer inside. Such a good idea.
10. Sundays. Because it's the only day I KNOW my husband will be home to hang out with me.
11. The nice weather that is in the forecast for the next week. Close to the 60's yeah!

WHY WHY WHY

Going private on your blog is something I just don't understand and it is all TOO POPULAR right now. I don't feel like my life is exciting enough that I have to hide it from people and besides I stalk way too many blogs that I am now UNINVITED to. How rude is that! I guess that could be one reason people like to go private. I just have to say I don't like it and you can be sure my blog will always be open to readers. Even though I don't really have that many haha.

My bad and good trip to Park City

On Saturday afternoon I headed to Park City to start my quik getaway. Once arriving in Provo I got to stop and see one of my favorite families that moved to Idaho Falls and was in Provo visiting. So my trip started out very pleasant. When I got done visiting I decided to make my way through provo canyon and to park city to visit Brianna. The problem started when 5 miles up the canyon I lost the transmission in my ever so trustworthy mini van. I then realized that maybe this trip was not going to be worth it. So the first group of pictures you will find us wasting time for 2 HOURS on the side of the road. Atleast the car would still run so we didn't freeze our butts off.

The whole reason for my trip definitly paid off tonight. Since Brianna's employers have the HOOK UP in Park City we started our evening by attending a dinner called Chef Dance. It is the top 10 up and coming chefs in the world that come and cook for you. After reviewing the menu the night before we were very happy to be going on the night that we did. Nothing to crazy like the night they served pork belly GROSS! Our chef made Scallops which was crazy enough for me, however how can you be rude and not try them. They were good. We then got mashed potatoes with short ribs on top. DELISH! Followed by the dessert which was corn cake and coconut ice cream. Very good as well. I failed to mention the best part. Our appetizer was guacamole, not just any guac either, the best guac I have EVER had. It was strange to eat so fancy and have it come in courses but an experiance I will remember. Plus on the table we got gifts for coming. A $250 spa gift card that I can't even enjoy since it had to be used this week and I am in St. George not PC. (Have fun Brianna) We also got a hundred dollar gift card to the gerber group which is apparently owners of bars and some W hotels. Neither of which we will use so we gave them to our friends we met sitting next to us. The one thing that an be used is a T-Shirt. Who can't use a new T-shirt to lounge around in.

After leaving the dinner we made our way across the street to Paris Hilton's party. It was very surreal. It took me a minute to even realize it really was her sitting at the same table as our group. We were very scared to ask for a picture but once we got coaxed into it she was so nice and friendly. I also think she looks so much better than the photos you see on the magazines. She was there promoting her new movie called The Hottie and The Nottie. Set to be released the first week of February. We told her we would be seeing it for sure since we now have to be her biggest fans! The girl and guy with her our in the film as well. We saw her sister there but it was not as easy to get her picture. I guess she was just there for support not for star struck people like ourselves. I am not ashamed Paris is Da Bomb!

On Monday morning it was time to head home. Seems how I didn't have a car my wonderful and amazing husband came to my rescue and picked us up. We had time to let the kids play in the snow though, which was fun for Frankie and Whitney, it was both there first times. Frankie really wanted to build a snowman but wasn't able to since it is like 3 feet of powder. You can tell how much snow they have in the picture where it comes to Whitney's thighs!
Now that the weekend is past I can say the good took over the bad and I am glad to be home. All though I could have stayed a few more days to look for the celebrities and use my spa day!

Another Love (for the moment)

If any of you were to come to my house at any given moment you would surely find clean laundry piled on my bed which was moved to the floor at bed time. I never liked laundry. You would also find dirty laundry piling up in my closest. Thinking back I have never had a laundry room just a samll space barely big enough for a washer and dryer. So when building this house I had outlets put in the garage for a washer and dryer since my Frank's clothes are always so full of red dust, cement, and morter. The idea was to get a new washer and dryer for the nice laundry room with a hanging rod and a folding table. Close to two years later I realized the new washer and dryer was clearly a dream and encouraged Frank (against his will) to move the old machines inside. What an amazing thing to have a laundry room. I have not had a pile of clothes on my floor and the laundry baskets are no longer overflowing. I never imagined how nice it was to put the laundry away directly out of the dryer. Even Makaela's laundry she has been folding hers for years. No longer. I feel like a new person like the housewife I am suppose to be. Now I just have to focus on the rest of my house and I think the next time we build the laundry room just might be the biggest room in the house.

Something I am currently obsessed with

I have always wanted a deep fryer, and thanks to my wonderful sister I finally got one, for christmas. I have to say I am not even sure I can remember how long I have wanted a deep fryer. I was always told no by my husband because they are so bad for you and everytime I looked at them I kind of felt guilty for wanting one. Well guilt is gone and I now know why I always wanted the wonderful machine that is sure to add a good 5-10 pounds probably to my back side. Since christmas I can honestly admit I have used it 8-10 times, chicken sandwiches (a couple of times), chimichangas, burritos, jalepeno poppers,scones, taquitos. Maybe I should be from the south since I have such a fine craving for fried food. I am hoping that since I have tried so many things the excitement might start to wear off. It is just oh so convenient and fast. No mess and no dishes. Two things I really despise. So if the next time you see me I have gained a few extra pounds you can't say I didn't warn you and just remind me where it is coming from incase of my deep fryer daze.

MOHAWK!

For those of you who know Frankie know that this is the ideal look for him. It fits him perfectly and the best part is he is so proud of it, I find him fixing his hair and also fixing his bears hair as well. (His bear has been his best friend since he was 6 months old.) I won't give his bear a mohawk though, I guess the gel is good enough for him. So even though mohawks may give the wrong impression we don't care cause we would never trade in our little Frankie or his new hair.
