10 Years Ago: I was a junior in highschool.
5 Things On My To Do List Tomorrow: 1. Work out 2. Catch up the last 3 epsidoes of Lost. 3. Fold about 7 loads of Laundry 4.Scrub my bath tub 5. Hopefully get in a nap, (not that likely).

Snacks I enjoy...this would be shorter if it was snack's I don't enjoy! I love, fresh pinapple, oreo cookies with a tall glass of milk, any ice cream, granola bars, and salsa verda doritos! Yum!!

What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire? Buy a nice(r) house, get Tom his dream truck, pay off all of our bills, take all my favorite people on a 2 week trip to Hawaii. I'm sure Tom would have some other things he would like to do to..Oh yeah, and definatly pay tithing!!! (hehehe)

3 Of My Bad Habits: I love eating dessert in bed! I hate cleaning out the fridge, Tom usually ends up having to do it :(! Rather than just having one junk drawer,I have 2 junk drawers and a full cabinet! Horrible, that should be on my to do list!

5 places I have lived: California, West Point, Salt Lake City, Sandy, and Roy

5 Jobs that I have had: I have been a party hostess at a kids play land. (We actually had to wear red sweats, and a yellow shirt that said "Fun Patrol" on the back). I have been a telemarketer, not my most shining moment, a 411 operator, a receptionist at PCMC and of course a storage unit manager!

Things people don't know about me: I am actually pretty shy until I get to know you, I am a sucker for all animals, and secretly want a dog some day. Regardless of how old I am I still feel like the little sister around my family.

I tag: (Ok I don't know how to create a hyper link, so I'll have Tom help me tomorrow, in the mean time the links are in the upper right corner)

Don't it make my blue eyes red.....

So we have had an eventful week, Elle got her ears pierced on Sat. She was so cute and didn't really cry...it was more of a yell. She carried on for about 10 minutes just yelling at us, it was so sad but she looks so cute. Brooke was all worried about Elle. In fact Tom and the kids went out of the store so "the kids" wouldn't get upset about Elle crying, I really think it had more to do with Tom not wanting to see Elle hurt. We taught our new class on Sunday, Tom and I have been called to be CTR 6 teachers. They are a rambucious class but good for a laugh. Monday Riley had school off, we had another major snow storm so we all just stayed in. I was so lucky to have Riley and Brookie wake up Tuesday morning with raging pink eye. Last Friday Riley came home and said, " Ethan had pink eye!" This is a boy in his class but I didn't give it much thought figuring who would send there child to school with pink eye. Well this boy is also in Rileys class at church. Needless to say Riley now has it. I was able to get some medicine and hopefully he can atleast go to school on Friday. Yuck! Thankfully neither Tom, Elle, or I have got it. Knock on wood!! Well, one of the children is waking up, last night Tom came home @ 2:30 to find me and all 3 kids in bed with me. I'll write more this week, we have some new developements in the Lillywhite household.
P.S. Congrats to Marianne and Steven on the news of a boy!!! We love you!!

Just another day in paradise....

Today I heard that song on the radio and thought, you know what it's true. There is no place I would rather be than in my house with my 3 babies and my sweetheart. We just hung out today, Riley didn't have school so we did absoulutly nothing productive. I have the messsy house to prove it, in fact I have 12 bags of grocerys waiting to be put away but they can wait till morning(I did at least put away to cold stuff.) It was nice and I don't even feel to bad...I think my kids think of me too often as the wicked witch of the west, hopefully days like this will make up for that.

Winter Wonderland!!

The weather here in Utah today is crazy. This picture is of our neighborhood from our porch.It had been storming nonstop. We have gotten well over a foot of snow so far and it is still coming. Tom is out there somewhere trying to make his way home so he can then drive in to Salt Lake for work. He is already an hour late in leaving. Crazy Crazy weather but I have to admit that I love it. Riley is home from school today sick and I love the feeling of having them all tucked in tight and warm in their beds for naps. It makes me want to whip up some hot chocolate and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies..to bad I'm trying to lose weight. This is the first Winter in years that I can remember there being so many storms so close together. Tom is pushing snow for Alamo and said there is well over 18-20" of snow up there. You know its a lot of snow when Tom gets stuck while pushing snow. That is part of the reason he is so late. I guess hwy 89 is closed down because of an accident so that is not helping the cause. Anyway all the snow motivated me to blog our Monte Cristo sledding so you get more pictures. I know you are so excited but oh well. It sounds like Tom is home, I better check out the damage.

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Wow 2 days in a row this may be the start of a beautiful relationship!!

Christmas 2007

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

This was Elle's first Christmas and our first Christmas in our house. It is so fun to have so many little ones to share the magic of Christmas with. We had lots of parties and spent a lot of time with family. We had a housewarming party with all our friends and family. We were able to finally make it up to Laketown on the eve of Christmas eve. Fred and his "friend" Sarah were up there and we had a fun time killing bunnies...it's a game. We then had the annual Christmas eve party at my parents house it was so nice to spend time together. This was probably the fastest Christmas season we have ever had. It seemed like it just flew by. Tom surprised me with a new area rug for our front room so I can finally lay Elle down without feeling bad about the wood floor. He also suprised me with a garbage disposal. This may seem to some of you a horrible present but it is really what I wanted. I am so happy to finally have one. The garbage in my kitchen is smelling less and less like a dump. Hurray for that. The kids had a ton of fun on Christmas and it was so nice to have a white Christmas.

We decided to move our computer upstairs in our room so Tom has a quiter place to work on school work so hopefully I will be able to keep up on my blog better. Frank and Amy are back from California. Frank is officially a mortician and we are so happy that we have one in the family. Maybe we can get a discount later on down the road. Hurray for family moving closer. With Jim and Becky so far away it seems like we gain one but lose one. Here is a shout out to Jim & Becky...we miss you guys!! Good luck with your fence!! Ok I am going to go for now...
