Things I Love: Naps

I love and I might add need my Sunday afternoon nap. Johnny was a sweetheart today and kept the kids quiet so I could enjoy a nap. It is because of this nap I have been able to post tonight. So in keeping with my track record of posting once a month-here are just a few of the many things I love. . .

Things I Love: My Mom

Another obvious one I know- but my Mom is an amazing person. To me she is my Piglet- I love how involved she is in my kids lives and as their only grandparent she willingly comes to Utah to play with us and I love it.

Things I Love: Footie Pjamas

It seemed to obvious to say my kids- I truly love my kids. I love Syd's crazy side, her silly side, her happy side and her mad side (wording compliments of one of our favorite books I love you through and through) and Cash's sweet side- his fingers and toes, his ears (aren't they cute) and nose. I love what an amzing big sister Sydney is and I love how Cash's face lights up whenever she is around. They bring so much happiness to my life and I love them in their footie pj's

Things I Love: Johnny

We have been together over 11 years and I can honestly say I still love him- while he can drive me crazy at times- he makes me laugh and smile (I was having a rough day and Johnny aka Utah Johnny dressed up and went to Home Depot dressed in his sandals with socks) The truly scary thing- the worker at Home Depot had no reaction!

Things I Love: Gerber Daisies

Since high school I have loved daisies so from corsages at dances to my wedding bouquet-daisies are it. Johnny was out of town for work on our 10 year wedding anniversary, but he sweetly sent me my daisies.

Things I Love: BYU

Growing up I remember my Dad singing in the morning "Rise and Shout the Cougars are out" from the BYU fight song. So from watching BYU football on satelite in our chapel (hopefully that was ok) to watching it live- I love college football specifically BYU. So any U fans out there can say what you want- I still bleed blue! and now I am carrying on the tradition.

Things I Love: Johnny and Sydney's Relationship

When Syd was just 3 months old-Johnny went back to school full time and became a stay home Dad. The result (other than the bachelors degree) is an amazing father daughter bond that I love and am grateful for.

Things I Love: Utah

So, as any of you know who check this blog- I struggle with updating it on a regular basis. I have a myriad of excuses ranging from- no time to lack of a working computer in my house, but really I am trying. So. . .as the leaves change and I reflect on the things I am thankful this year-one of them is where I live, not only in the USA, but more specifically in Utah. Now, so of you may be shocked by that statement and I must admit I am too. Now I reserve the right to recant this statement when it starts to snow! Things I love about Utah. . .

Being able to hop in my car and within 15 minutes I am up one of my favorite places: Millcreek Canyon (here is a pic of the fam )
