2. Sweep my floors
3. Go work in Aubrey's second grade class
4. Spray paint a book shelf for the girls' room
5. Make cookies for my husband

What I would do if I were suddenly a millionaire...
I would buy a new house (and leave my in-laws in my old one LOL), pay off all our debt, go shopping and buy whatever I wanted, oh and go buy a scrapbook store so I could have all the stuff inside to scrapbook whenever I wanted.

5 things people don't know about me...
1. I really don't like to talk to people I don't know...very intimidating

3. I wish that I could have ten kids
4. One day I would love to go back to school and become a labor and delivery nurse
5. I have to light a candle everyday. (at least one)

WHAT WILL BE GOING ON IN TEN YEARS...
Ummm, I'll be forty, Yikes! Done having kids. Living in a house that was built by my husband. I'll have two kids in college (if they take that route, if not I'll still love them).

Unemployeed...and loving it?!?
Well on the 18th of this month I found out that the company that I have worked for for seven year was laying me off. Four days later my box was full of personal belongings and I was done working full time. It still feels like I am on vacations but when I really think about I know that I don' t have a day that I need to get back to work. I filed for unemployment and found out that it will last through the middle of August. Long story short....a summer off with my girls! I am really looking forward to that. But for now I have to focus on things to fill up my day. I feel a little bit lost after I drop off the girls at school. My house is clean, I am caught up on laundy, and the weather isn't coroperating with me to enable me to work in the yard. So, I have gone to lunch with a dear friend, went down to Puyallup to hang out with my mom and sisters in laws and watched a few to many episodes of "A Baby Story" and "Bringing Home Baby." (not such great shows to watch when you are struggling to get pregnant and seems that is all I think about anyway). I know that once Kiersten and Aubrey are out of school my days won't feel as lonely, but I still have a few months to go. I think that I will get out my scrapbook stuff tomorrow and enjoy that for awhile. Let me know if anyone wants to come out and hang out with me, I'll even make you lunch!
Happy Valentine's Day!! (Late)


We had a very laid back Valentine's Day this year. Eric made
dinner for the girls and I...BBQ salmon & halibut, salad,
baked potatoes, red Jell-o (thanks mom),
& cupcakes! It was great!!!
(sorry for the picture above...it some how got "corrupted")

Grammie made Kiersten & Aubrey a Valentine's
poster using candy for some of the words.
It's hard to read in the picture so this is what it said...
Happy Valentin's day to 2 cute "chicklets" (gum)
Your "Kisses" always send us to the "Milky Way"
We love the many "Snickers" you give us.
You are so "Kissable." Along the way things
may become a "Rocky Road" but always remember
you are "Amazing" and "U-NO" we love you!!
Cupcakes (my new found favorite treat to make)
