TAGGED!

Okay so I don't have anyone to tag, and I'm sure there are no touch backs, so I will just answer the questions.

Here's the Deal. Each player answers the questions about themselves, at the end of the post the player tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. What were you doing 10 years ago? Let's see 10 years ago I was 15. I was in 9th grade. I am sure I was causing some kind of trouble. I was always doing something to get into trouble. I was on the swim team. Nothing really sticks out in my mind about it though.

2. What is on your to do list today? Well I had to go get fomula for the baby, but I was chicken and didn't want to drive, so on Kevin's lunch I made him take me to Walmart. I was going to clean the living room, but that didn't happen.

3. Snack that you enjoy? Let's see I'm definately with Tina on this one. Anything and Everything that's not healthy.

4. Three bad habbits? I bite my finger nails, I like to sleep in even with a toddler and a 3 month old. I just turn on cartoons for Cheltzi while I doze off. I fall doze off when I'm saying my prayers.

5. If you were suddenly a billionare you would? Pay tithing on it. Take my whole family on a vacation. The Richins side and the Maple side. Two different vacations. Put a lot of it in savings accounts for our kiddies and us. I would also Donate to the church, Mckay-Dee Hospital NICU parent volunteer group, and preemie research.

6. Five places you've lived? Thatcher, Tremonton, Brigham City, Washington Terrace, Ogden, and San Antonio, TX... Well that's six.

7. Five Jobs? Life guard at Bear River Natatorium, Alco, Autoliv, and Tesoro. I have only had 4 jobs.

8. Five things people don't know about you. hmmm.. This is a toughy. I can't think of anything that people wouldn't know about me. If I think of somthing I will post it.

This is where I would tag someone, but I don't have anyone to tag. If I find someone to tag I will

The Happiness

WOW!! I feel so good and happy today. My kids are feeling better and I feel good about myself. After reading a cousin's blog I decided to start Flylady.net also. My mom used to do it and I made fun of her. Now that I have my own place I have found it very difficult to keep up with my growing family. I decided that this year I want to do things that make me feel good and I do those things because I want to not because I feel like I have to or I will be in trouble. Our apartment is far from being perfect, but I'm acutally making an effort to do something about it. I am FLYing today!
To my cousin (you know who you are)! Thank you for the inspiration.

Boogers, Poops, and Pukes

Cheltzi and Dominik have both been sick. Luckily Cheltzi only has a runny nose. But I am so sick of boogers. OI!!! Poor little Dominik has been throwing up and pooping so much. I feel so bad for him. We all need a break from all this sickness. Kevin has been sick too, he hasn't quite coughed up a lung, but I think he is about to! I'm so glad I haven't gotten sick. What would my family do!?

Our Family

Our little Maple family started on July 16, 2004. Kevin and I started to get married at my mom and dad's house, but a little storm came through and blew the gazebo over into our guests. We ended up getting married in the Relief Society room at our church. We went camping for our honeymoon. It was fun. We left at just the right time because a storm starting coming our way just as we we left. We found out on August 24 that we were expecting our first child.

Cheltzi Lynn blessed our family on March 7, 2005. She was born 7 weeks early and spent the first 3 weeks of her life in the care of wonderful nurses and doctors at Mckay-Dee Hospital in the NICU. She came home on March 27. Easter Sunday. What a miracle she is. She is now 2 months away from being 3! I can not believe it. She has grown so fast. She has started going peeps AND poops in the big girl potty!! She is doing so well. Every year around her birthday she has developmental evaluations because she was early and so far she is doing really well with that. On her second birthday she tested at a 29+ month level. It's going to be interesting to see how her third birthdya evaluations goes. I will definately let everyone know about that.

On March 17, 2007 Kevin, Cheltzi and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a great and memorable day. I was sick through the whole session. We had just found out on February 25 that we were expecting our son. I hadn't been sick at all until the day we were going to the temple. Kevin took me to the hospital because I just couldn't keep anything down. The doctor said that I had an ovarian cyst that was full of pregnancy hormones and it burst which made me quite sick. I threw up all day. I am so grateful for the blessing of being sealed to my family.

Dominik Alexander joined our family Oct. 25, 2007. It took a lot to get him into this world but after 12 1/2 hours he joined us. He had a tough start and had to stay in the hospital one day longer than I did. He has had a few struggles in his short little life, but I think we will get past them and he will grow to be a healthy young man. His smiles are to die for. He has been trying to giggle but it comes out little goo's it is so CUTE!

I love my family. I am so thankful for them. My Heavenly Father has blessed me so much.

Getting Started

Well I thought this would be a fun thing to do for our family. As I learn more about this site I will post more and more.
