i should be cleaning and getting ready for my busy day tomorrow.

i've been awake since 3:30 this morning. i woke up to turn to my other side and just became wide awake. it was horrible. i went pee for the 100th time around 4am and i tried to go back to sleep but i was still just wide awake. so after getting the giggles for some strange reason, i decided i had better just get up so i wouldn't disturb mick while he tried to sleep. so i came down stairs. ate. then baked some really yummy banana bread and then tried to fall asleep. i kinda did but not for long. what a weird morning. i haven't really felt tired until about 5 this evening. now i'm exhausted! these poor children. i keep forgetting to do stuff i say i'm going to do. i'll be in the middle of something when one of twins will ask for something or to play wii or to watch a show and i'll say just one minute and then withing a half a second completely forget about. my brain is fried! i wish mick were here tonight to help me. the one night i really need him and he has plans. boo! haha. jk jk. he loves his lodge meetings and i want to support him.

so i'm in need of a new phone. the one i have is...holding on to all life it has left. i have to keep it fully charged and i can't close it other wise it freaks out and the screen goes black or white or both and then i can't do anything until it dies on its own. i take the battery out but it still doesn't turn back on with its normal screen. my contract with tmobile ended on the 5th of this month so i'm trying to switch over to verizon. only problem is i completely destroyed my credit a few years ago and am still suffering the slow rise in my credit score. i'm not sure if i'll pass verizon's credit score...thing... i'm also trying to decided what plan to get. practicality says to just get the basic plan and phone. but my mind and dreams tell me to get that cool new droid (or iphone) and data plan that cost a little bit more each month.

yes my dreams have influenced my way of thinking. the other night i had the most vivid dream about getting an ipad and iphone for my birthday and they were soooooooooooo awesome! ever since then i've desired a fancy new smartphone. oh vanity. i guess that just confirms that i need to get the basic phone and plan. oh well...

tomorrow is my last day of babysitting. its been a really fast week! i think chaz will really miss these twins. they are the perfect playmates. i did have to ban them from bringing their stuffed animals downstairs thought because i didn't want chaz to ruin them. poor twins and puppy. i'm so mean.

i'm buying the carseat tomorrow. mick and i finally picked one out. it has great reviews, rated pretty high but is a decent price! i'm so dang excited! i've been waiting a long time to get the car seat. haha

chocolate chip cookie success.

seriously. i have never made a good chocolate chip cookie. any type of cookie actually. until i became pregnant.

i have made some really good, chewy, yummy ginger cookies, oatmeal raisin, and now chocolate chip cookies! i'm very happy with the results of these baked goods! i have loved baking so much and it makes me even happier when they turn out.

i've found some amazing recipes over the last 4 months i've been able to even stomach food. banana muffins being my all time favorite. i've made bran muffins and granola. healthy granola!

the only thing that hasn't turned out were the cinnamon rolls. someday i'll figure those things out. someday!

here's the chocolate chip recipe. ENJOY!!

new years resolutions

Yes January is almost over and I'm just now really writing out my new year's resolutions. I wanted to be very serious about these this year so it's taken me a few weeks to really decide what they'll be.

1. Read my scriptures EVERY day! Even if its just a verse or two. I'm very happy to report I'm 19 days strong!

2. Lose all baby weight (30lbs and still counting! I do have 5weeks to go. YIKES!!). I'm actually excited about this. I want to work out so bad! Mick has also been wanting to workout more. It'll be great when we can workout together. I'm going to reward myself with a small shopping trip when I reach my goal. I do have expensive taste in jeans so for every pound I lose I'm going to put aside a dollar. Then ask Mick to match it... ;)

3. Look Up. That has several meanings behind it but I'm only going to share one. Here is how I decided to make this a resolution this year. I took Chaz potty the other night; it was a clear night and the moon was out. It literally took my breath away. I was shocked to remember that I haven't looked up toward the skies in many many months. Not over the summer even. How horrible! Think of all those clear brightly star lit skies I missed out on. SAD! That's how I decided I need to {look up more AND let the stars and moon take my breath away every time}. 

That's all I have for now. I'm going to continue to add to my list as things come up.

Dreams

For the past month or so Mick has been experiencing some pregnancy symptoms along with me. The most common being really weird dreams. A few nights ago I woke up (normal) to switch positions due to uncomfortable-ness. Just as I was turning to my right side Mick yelled "What the freak is a Frodo!"

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I totally laughed for a minute then decided to see if I could get him to tell me more.

I asked "Did you find one?"
He answered, "Yeah".
So I asked "What are you going to do with it?"
He said "I guess I'll keep it."
Then he sturred a bit and so I asked if he was awake and he answered (very much not awake) "I think so...??" He sounded confused. hahaha.
And me being really tired still decided to randomly ask "Are you playing a card game?" (Which is what I had been dreaming about.)
And he annoyingly answered "What the heck does that have to do with anything?!". And that ended our conversation.

LoL. Goodness I love that man! He makes me laugh even in his sleep. I need to write down more of our sleep talk conversations. There have been some interesting ones. When we were first married he talked in his sleep almost every night! Then he stopped after we moved back to Utah. It was fun having another conversation with him!

wedding ring{s}

well, another one of my third trimester symptoms has been major hand swelling. yuck! i woke up one day and my wedding ring finger was completely numb from swelling so much around my wedding ring. I was able to get my ring off but have not been able to get it back on. It is pretty much the worse thing ever! I'm sure every girl feels that her wedding ring is the prettiest one out there but I really think mine is. Its very unique and shiny and my center diamond is perfect... literally. Its extra special to me not only because its my wedding ring but because I was fully expecting to get a diamond replacement until we could afford a real diamond. But Mick surprised me a perfect diamond! Whoa!! Lucky Lucky LUCKY me!!!!!!

Since I've been unable to get it back on my finger I've had to find a replacement. Its not the nicest ring. Its probably worth a dollar. haha. But at least the rest of world can see I'm married. (Although with my bulging baby bump you would think people would just assume...)
Funny story! I was at Bath and Body Works looking at some awesome stuff and this guy who worked there came up to me and asked if I needed help, I said "No thanks, I'm just looking". And he proceeded to tell me all about the lip gloss and his favorites "Not that I wear them!" said he. He flirted a bit with me and then he walked around to my other side (the side my purse wasn't on) and saw my baby bump and was like "whoa! oh...ahh...anyways." then just walked away. BAHAHAHAHA! And that was when I decided I needed a ring replacement. So I found this on in my jewelery box. I've had a few compliments on it. Which is a good thing but I always look down thinking I'll see my lovely diamonds but I don't...

I cannot wait until I can wear my wedding ring again. I miss it. I pull it out almost every day and look at it. Is that bad? I'm not sure. Nor do I really care. Yesterday I even polished it. haha. I'm a dork.

I'm 33 weeks now. whoa!!! time is flying by and its a little scary! i know i keep saying i hope it goes by faster so that i can meet this little boy of mine but reality is starting to sink in. i am going to be a MOM! that's so weird to me. i still haven't quite gotten use to be a wife! nah...i take that back. being a wife has been so much better than i imagined. its not always easy. especially with my emotional outbursts lately. i cry at very silly things like when mick decides to not do what i suggest he do. or i get annoyed...like beyond annoyed when he eats too fast and when he chews gum. haha. its so stupid and i realize that. but its so nice that he listens to me complain and whine and cry and whatever else i do. he listens and together we make compromises and progress. wow! is that normal for newly weds? i hope it lasts forever! especially after baby arrives. we'll need each other more than ever. what a crazy thought, we're having a BABY! in like less than 7 weeks! he's going to be sooo cute! i hope... mick and i went to orem and registered for baby today. it was sooo nice of mick to go with me. he picked out cute clothes and kept me from registering for clothes that were "too girly" for his son. hahaha. just so everyone knows...shirts covered in stars or polka dots are girly. and there is a difference between a boy skull and bones and a girly skull and bones. and yellow should be avoided. so there you go! :)
chaz has been acting up lately. he acts like he's completely attention starved. i think he knows something is going on. i babysat for my cousin monday and tuesday and i took chaz with me. he LOVES that baby girl! he would get so excited to see her and would bring her his ball and rope and would just wag his tail like crazy. but then he started to realize that she was often between me and him. then i could tell he would get jealous. he completely attached himself to me as soon as i would put her down or she would go take a nap. he's been like that ever since. we waits at the door for mick when he goes to school. and he is extremely demanding for attention. poor guy. what is he going to do when baby comes. i've been reading that we need to ignore him sometimes. does anyone realize how hard that is? it's like ignoring your oldest child. not easily done. nor do i want to do it! chaz is like mick's and my child. he's extremely spoiled. he is extremely loved! i think that's why i start to bawl more than anything that has to do with animals. its okay..you can laugh. i do. it is quite hilarious. i really cannot help myself though. i just start to bawl, not just cry but bawl! its intense. lol

well, i'm just trying to kill time and my boredom. i'm rambling now. haha. go check out my other blogs. i have cute photos up and some new crafts done! :) i love comments!!!
