I have been thinking how I could really use a bump in spirituality and for me personally this seems to be a great answer.. I am not sure how many of you still read this blog but I want to extend the invitation to all of you. I know it won't be easy, but I know that it's worth it! So, are you in? Let me know how you are doing if you are!!jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138184854578315674noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404803896994140403.post-50744435959655216722011-06-16T20:53:00.000-07:002011-06-16T21:12:16.772-07:00Show me the LOVE..<div align="center">Hey everyone..

But in order avoid complete failure here are 11 more things that I "love"<br /><br />18. I love shopping for shoes.. seeing that my feet appear to be the only part of my body that has found it necessary to return to their original shape and size post-partum.<br /><br />19. I love buying children's books at Costco.. I rarely make a visit there without purchasing a book for KC. If you haven't ever checked them out you need to.<br /><br />20. I love Red Robin, if it has been a couple weeks I have Jesse stop and pick some up on the way home. I highly recommend the Barbeque Chicken Wrap!<br /><br />21. My favorite animal is a Lion.. a big male lion, I just love the majestic look about them and when they let go of a huge earth-shaking roar, it gives me chills!!<br /><br />22. My favorite place to travel is New York City... a) there's so much to see, b) you can eat all you want because you will walk a million miles or more, c) the christmas windows at Macey's are fantastic d) Broadway... need I say more?!?<br /><br />23. I love Victoria's Secret swimsuits.. I usually wait until the end of the Spring or Summer and can usually find a really good deal. They hold up so well and who doesn't love all the extra "support" they offer for your girls!!<br /><br />24. My favorite time of year is Spring. I love spring showers, I love when my tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths start to blossom and the smell in the air, I love watching everything turn green after being dead and brown for months.<br /><br />25. I love all types of music.. I can listen to anything from classical, country, rock, pop, latin, and so much more.. it's amazing how music can alter your mood!<br /><br />26. I love to travel and would love to travel all over the United States in a motor home once Jesse and I are retired!<br /><br />27. I love the game show network.. I admit that sometimes when there is nothing good on tv I have been known to watch hours of Lingo, Deal or No deal, and family feud.<br /><br />28. I love word games.. I look forward to doing the crossword puzzles in the newspaper each day, I love to play "word mole" on my blackberry.

I love meeting new people and I am always grateful when I can form a new friendship. One thing that I "love" about my high school friends is that we still make a concerted effort to see each other and that we always support each. We've had some devistating things amongst us like: a child with autistm, a child with cerebral palsy, the death of a child, death of parents and you can always count on all of us to drop what we are doing, rally around the person in need and create an amazing support system..<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE52NgO1NBJGG9WHbJJVxfafrzDUVsooyqKFx7aHNhmpY76ZgwCXuRVxfLYzf_pTD1XA5J3mGE3jU-_W8hdlcRea6Y-Kf1KQY61DMYgIBYRgGu1wzmTASINgxJAC2qYO80Ag4LJ6XUME8j/s1600/ahhh.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571896009983994498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE52NgO1NBJGG9WHbJJVxfafrzDUVsooyqKFx7aHNhmpY76ZgwCXuRVxfLYzf_pTD1XA5J3mGE3jU-_W8hdlcRea6Y-Kf1KQY61DMYgIBYRgGu1wzmTASINgxJAC2qYO80Ag4LJ6XUME8j/s320/ahhh.jpg" /></a> #8 It's only appropriate that when talking about friends I mention my oldest and dearest friend. I love that Shelly and I have been friends since we were in preschool.<br />I love that we still talk at least weekly- even if it's just to catch up on our reactions to The Bachelor, Gossip Girl, Biggest Loser, Vampire Diaries, etc..<br />I love that neither of us has to knowck when we walk into the other's house...<br />I love that we can be 100% honest with each other with no hard feelings<br /><br /><br />No doubt about it.. I have been truly blessed in the friend department!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDZ0FV092nDK0ykZtVeeKi3jhiYDfN816-6KtNFi0rWj8Zetcyd7iOKtCGRSluN_UqY__PG_D_Pk6l2pOGrU-0XD1MgNN7M4AskbaPVvoNczLv_YdUe6jWxSbsMBmcGR8p-UBtkIdI8fi/s1600/allthegirls.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /></div>jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138184854578315674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404803896994140403.post-59619129040032299902011-02-07T19:47:00.000-08:002011-02-07T19:57:01.608-08:00daddy's girl all the way!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEpANHy0aEyvsIYij-_f_IiH1ApDxCbEyF8Q5pqj8aBD_Mdkc1_p52gRLk5asH7Ab7zety9WAvGBdSlFc-7Mcp3kGw4MuKlks8Yo2eH6RvSgRPHbX7WJ7xKwEj85dQRSM4707_AMEb9V2/s1600/reception+and+temple+036.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571161216884721106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioEpANHy0aEyvsIYij-_f_IiH1ApDxCbEyF8Q5pqj8aBD_Mdkc1_p52gRLk5asH7Ab7zety9WAvGBdSlFc-7Mcp3kGw4MuKlks8Yo2eH6RvSgRPHbX7WJ7xKwEj85dQRSM4707_AMEb9V2/s320/reception+and+temple+036.jpg" /></a> I hope you aren't confused by my waiting a whole week to post about my dad.. he is by far one of my <u>favorite</u> people in the entire universe. My dad and I have a special bond, one that has been formed through him coaching all my sports teams in my youth, having long heart-felt talks when I needed him the most, and sharing some hilarious moments together that left us both crying from laughing so hard! My dad and I are very similar people and I treasure the fact that we have such a good relationship. I love that my dad still gives me hugs and kisses and lets me sit on his lap. I love that when i call to chat we have lengthy conversations about things that really matter, I love that despite my age- my dad still supports me in anything I do. I know there are some really great dads out there but my dad is the absolute BEST!!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTLbHEbGoY_dCtKoJKyto0FVH7c2yEOyLpcWqPjSQMDiZqeBCgd4LBY0Vb3WqIBvvWjp8TU-0BGZf4Zih3sXS4OBnR0kUuNjq7zFRGw5BW4IgJIjySYKVwPr_YE2Oybo6lHDae00Pip00/s1600/wedding+dinner+020.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138184854578315674noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404803896994140403.post-55565865828827591712011-02-06T19:03:00.001-08:002011-02-06T19:15:46.986-08:00mamacita<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8MMDDPKG-UhDtHyk9KBzmmqBZ_xAtbA8nb2zAzQqdGzfXQlndh1cAA6LWpt1Xj6vmSNrJpqukEOJxZAH9dNYTR41qNXR3grfkednM3ma5b59Ai4UVBC8XDY41-cUYar_WaoSci5NEj2N/s1600/havingfun.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570779063087913794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8MMDDPKG-UhDtHyk9KBzmmqBZ_xAtbA8nb2zAzQqdGzfXQlndh1cAA6LWpt1Xj6vmSNrJpqukEOJxZAH9dNYTR41qNXR3grfkednM3ma5b59Ai4UVBC8XDY41-cUYar_WaoSci5NEj2N/s320/havingfun.jpg" /></a> I couldn't even begin to start with all of the things I "love" about my mom.. I can honestly say that I couldn't and wouldn't have survived this last year without her, she has been there for me no matter what time of day or day of the week and I really appreciate it. I love that my mom is so kind and giving, she is always going above and beyond to do things for others. She is funny and always makes me laugh (sometime unintentionally). She is such a strong woman who stands up for what she believes in no matter what. I didn't always think I would want to be like my mom when I grew up but I find myself doing, saying, and reacting to things just as she would and I couldn't be happier. I feel so blessed to have a mother like I do!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjptMaj8sD-BTroIVZYXlk4Bvf1mupdeiF7IJJmO0mWx102TlHYkS-vxfn8zSyW8VPDWVm84qzcxS5Qqo1pLoKZXCjhcMwmExAavMnSWDJnyz_jFwJsOeBcvu0oT-GD8tcjGfabgECVy5hC/s1600/fun+stuff+009.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div>jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138184854578315674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404803896994140403.post-7278653029909216822011-02-05T10:43:00.000-08:002011-02-05T11:00:29.048-08:00sisters.. sisters... what would I do without my sisters?!?<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DpL-_PwRPo70a-Lqcp3Wjk-y4DqTVrURdgmici9nwJjF7qje9D8HNOm74SM9YU52dVk17UU7BCYYvBuhMCGrGVaAmOEGmEsHx6Lxi9-VC2G7sv6Gx_qKP1I-xQJ6CF1Ui-i4Re-tAknf/s1600/wedding+dinner+028.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570278640476330898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DpL-_PwRPo70a-Lqcp3Wjk-y4DqTVrURdgmici9nwJjF7qje9D8HNOm74SM9YU52dVk17UU7BCYYvBuhMCGrGVaAmOEGmEsHx6Lxi9-VC2G7sv6Gx_qKP1I-xQJ6CF1Ui-i4Re-tAknf/s320/wedding+dinner+028.jpg" /></a> aren't they so pretty????<br />I don't know what I would do without these ladies..

Praias-Beaches.. who doesn't love a good beach? For those who don't know, Brazil has some of the best beaches. Oh ya and FYI you can rent a 5 bedroom mansion of a beach house for $700/week.. anyone want to take a vacation to Brazil with us?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKMtzTka3hL6KLlvYZWMvV9TIkegFS5CTHNdsF2V-nh4vTF9DXvqD72a3WDN0v-DjsqP99g2zD3KglqhV2Wk2b9LGqClRCRKnyasuYMElvsLeAV77N5pda08lnbrsAN600Y1gG91Vpc7I/s1600/ilheus.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 197px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569901767351296210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKMtzTka3hL6KLlvYZWMvV9TIkegFS5CTHNdsF2V-nh4vTF9DXvqD72a3WDN0v-DjsqP99g2zD3KglqhV2Wk2b9LGqClRCRKnyasuYMElvsLeAV77N5pda08lnbrsAN600Y1gG91Vpc7I/s320/ilheus.jpg" /></a><br />3.

Not only did she let us in but she made us breakfast, made up 2 beds for us, and didn't mention the obscene hour that we arrived at her house.. Jo is just that kind of a person and I absolutely love her!!</div><div></div><div>Drica- is one of my best friends. Despite living so far from each other, we maintain regular contact and always keep tabs on each others lives.

My hubby.. I realize I have mentioned this but I seriously have the best husband in the world.

Our Miss KC.. I can think of no better way to start my day than seeing her cute smiling face. KC is such a friendly baby- we can't go anywhere without her waving to everyone we see.. sometimes she gets so frustrated when the person/people don't acknowledge her and wave back. KC definitely keeps us on our toes, she goes 1 million miles/second and will quickly destroy an entire room if no one is watching. </span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"></span> </p><p><span style="color:#000000;">So, there you have it my first 2 loves for the month of LOVE..

But for the sake of keeping anyone interested here are the latest and greatest in our little world.<br /><br />1. we put our house up for sale, so if you know anyone looking for an older home in Ut.-let me know!<br />2. miss KC is still not walking.. she stands by herself, dances all the time while standing, takes a couple of steps and then.. nada. at what age did all of your children start walking?<br />3. My sister Carli is expecting a baby <span style="color:#3333ff;">BOY</span> this summer.. we are so excited and can't wait to meet the new little fella!<br />4.

I will make sure and update more often</div><div> </div><div>We went to the Dr. last week and here's the update on stats</div><div>Height 26 inches- 10%</div><div>Weight 17 lbs.- 25-50%</div><div> </div><div>She has come a long way from where she started and we feel so, so blessed and grateful for how well she's doing- </div><div>This week I had to attend the funeral of my friend's 3 year old little boy.. He passed away on a day when KC had not slept well, she took the worst naps ever and was the grumpiest little girl, she cried when I put her down, and whined while I held her- to say it was a hard day would be an understatement- as soon as I got the call, however, I picked KC up and cried as I held her because the reality is I would take a million "bad" days as long as I can hold my baby and kiss her and love her... I hope we can all spend just a few extra moment to tell the ones we love how much they matter to us- because who knows how long we will have them!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17138184854578315674noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404803896994140403.post-40971978967164449832010-08-03T12:19:00.000-07:002010-08-03T21:38:59.070-07:00a night to remember..If you are not reading <a href="http://or-so-i-feel.blogspot.com/">"brunette bombshell" </a>you are missing out on one of the greatest blogs!! I fell in love with Meg's heartfelt and genuine writing from the first time I read one of her infamous "letters to the many I'll marry"- the romantic that she is instantly appealed to me. Since that day, a little over a year ago, I have been a dedicated fan of all that she writes... When I heard that Meg would be spending the summer in Utah I wanted so badly to finally meet this person who I felt like I had become friends with but I was hesitant to ask to meet her but I also feared that I would pass up a great opportunity... I am glad that I got over my initial apprehension and invited Meg over for Sunday dinner with my parents.. We had such a great time and I can honestly say that as inspiring as Meg's writing is- she is even more incredible in person!!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipE-qvan1AOhu9IJIkLrz_99ecHpLLAdYAg5-tGz9vUjev5jZiaL9e0Q3itJNly7fFXYd406gt3koNtbDdN50XmojZZrJng9myA8R62Gx-aCIJCIa22uvovuSy_s1yjhT70zRFhnwuTZH3/s1600/meg.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501266209988323666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipE-qvan1AOhu9IJIkLrz_99ecHpLLAdYAg5-tGz9vUjev5jZiaL9e0Q3itJNly7fFXYd406gt3koNtbDdN50XmojZZrJng9myA8R62Gx-aCIJCIa22uvovuSy_s1yjhT70zRFhnwuTZH3/s320/meg.jpg" /></a> Here is Meg and I eating grilled pineapple... sooo yummy!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501266215546539522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qoyyf4jG9NAvI0KvQ11Wv7tGGBXLEQtuPlH9Vw65-gjN8RMooo68AHlxIZhf5hyphenhyphenRLItBaGKR6Q8-jgG485wpRxivBPmG4-Lx1rz1b4n1poqkuzktRenEPuBUWD7h5svBrC9aP3Tztav_/s320/strawberryshortcake.jpg" /> My mom also make a strawberry trifle- it was so so delicious...
