Im not a prince!

So if any of you have ever had an extensive conversation with me you know that I love all eight of my adorable Niece's and Nephew's! I can hardly stop myself from musing about them constantly to people! I think that they all are the greatest things since sliced bread! I always have so so much fun when I am with them. They brighten up my day every time I get to see any of them. I think that I appreciate them more than anyone else in my family, simply because I am the youngest so they all have become a replacement for the lack of younger Brothers and Sisters. 

I became an Aunt at he age of 13 and I have loved every minute of it. My favorite is when the girls realize that they are girls so they get to do fun stuff like their hair and nails and play with Aunt Helen's make-up (oh goodness this is always an adventure and I never know that they have done it until they come up stairs with it all over their faces!) Sidney is the biggest at this. She loves loves loves pink and she loves to have me do her hair. I have put her to sleep a couple of times doing it. Oh the price we pay for beauty.

I also have the sweetest Nephews in the world. What girl doesn't like to be told that they are beautiful. The boys are also fascinated with make-up and what not...we just don't let them put it on, but they all love to watch me put it on. (I would be lying if I said that I never put mascara on E or painted all of their nails, they are so so persistent!) this show, of me putting on make-up, without fail has resulted in them all telling me that i am bootiful! I love it! (does that make me vain?)

Ahhh...family, I love my family so much! What a huge blessing they all are to me! I will be forever grateful to all of them. They have all done huge giant things for me! Even the little ones and they don't even know it! 

Things I love to do and hear and my favorite quotes from my Nieces and Nephews:

Eskimo Kisses with Tomo

Bill's crazy little hugs, that are totally random!

Tomo telling Beck "I not a prince Mommy! I don't have a Twon (crown) on my head!"

Lilly spraying butter into all the little kids mouths, she will be the president someday!

Sidney Exclaiming "SUNNY AGAIN!" at the filtered light that comes through the clouds in Seattle.

Ethan asking why my hair is so white, and then 10 min later asking me why my room was so messy. (this story is pretty funny maybe I will tell it to you sometime)

Hayden being such a giant sweet heart! He is the nicest boy on the face of the planet, and he tells me all of the time that I am beautiful!

McKay and how we share a birthday and how he says how old he is.

So I was reading over this post with Cammie Jo and I realized that I totally forgot about Raegan! Oh that little girl is a life saver!

I see Cammie Jo with her and I realize how much I want to be a Mom someday! 

Raegan lived with us this summer and she is so cute and girly! We painted her toe nails! Oh that was fun! Her sign language is awesome! She loves brownies! I love her so much! And I can't believe I forgot for her!

 

They are all great and there is much more I could share but I will leave it at that for now.

Thank Heavens for Kids and for Family!

Ahhh...those good old days of Feeting?

Up here in Logan the weather is freezing cold! Wow walking to school is almost a death sentence. I ran out of clean socks today so I am wearing my Chaco's. I suppose my feet aren't that important to me. Neither is doing my laundry so there you have it. Speaking of feet; I, for some reason, thought that I had done a post about how the feet are the most unattractive part of the human body. I know that others would disagree, For instance some people would state that the lower back when it hangs out of someones shirt is the most unattractive spot. I would have to say that this comes in may seventh of most unattractive spots. And it really all depends on the presence of a tramp stamp or VTC. (If you don't know what VTC is I will tell you, just ask.)

So back to feet, I have never in all of my years (the whole 21 of them) heard Someone say "I think that feet are the most attractive part of the human body. Nope not once. It is just not something that people say.

Feet are very functional, I love my feet...they are a great source of balance. I hear that if you lose a toe you have to learn how to walk again. I don't know if that is true I don't know. I have had the fortune of never losing a toe.

So...Feet are not attractive, if you like feet would you please inform me so I can add you to my list of people with unique characteristics. This won't count against you FYI.

YAY! My Top Ten!

1- Playing WII with my family. Which sounds super lame, but it was really gratifying to me that I beat my Brother Paul...He was been beating me at games for 21 years (in case you didn't know...this amount comes to my whole life)

2-Getting See's chocolates with the girls. Oh goodness I LOVE chocolate, and See's are the best. Although I Must say that the little old lady's who helped us were not very nice.

3- I got to spend all of Christmas day with MY family! It was great! I haven't done that in two years!

4-I totally stomped on Cody in Monopoly! This was a sweet victory! If only you could have been there and seen the kind of attitude he was giving us. He had hotels everywhere! And we all kept landing on them. (Stupid dice!) But do not fret my friends...due to some...Circumstances I WON! YAY! I love winning! :)

5- We found out why Mom's toaster is so amazing! It has a whooping 1325 watts of power! Holy, I think we have found a new standard folks. I guess we can stop buying her a new on every year for Christmas... none of them could ever match up to the extreme amount of POWER that 32 year old toaster has. That's right! the toaster is 32 years old! My parents got it for their wedding. Who knew a toaster could last so long. And who knew that for safety reason they have stopped making them with such high wattage?

6-The crazy snow! I know that there is a ton of it all around us! But it was beautiful and amazing! I loved it! I wish that I would have made a snowman and had a snowball fight down in Salt Lake...I guess I will have to settle for those things in Logan...oOoooOooOO! And maybe a snow fort! YES! I shall do it!

7-Remembering why Christina and I are best friends FOREVER! (Imagine this said in a ridiculous valley girl voice...it will make it better!) I love Christina and I am so grateful for the blessing she is in my life. It is good to know that we are always there for each other! What a huge blessing great friends are!

8-Watching batman with my Niece and Nephews, I love Batman and I love them, so what is not to like here? HOLY BUCKETS BATMAN! (As said by Robin, Batman's every to trusty side kick.)

9- Having time to read a book! I have not read a book for leisure since the fourth Twilight book came out (which, by the way, was a very dumb book and I wish that I hadn't wasted my time on it...the climax fell short. The main character, Bella, was unentertaining and written weakly. Plus...she got it all...I was hoping that she would have to chose between some stuff...but no! She got it all! How lame!)

10- The opportunity I had to spend time with my parents...It was just me and them for a long time. And now it is back to that again and it was nice. I really really enjoyed it. I am so blessed to have the Parents that I have. I am my Mother in so many ways it is scary, but I am also my Dad it alot of ways too. I am the ultimate convergence of both of them, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Top ten for the Holiday season! In no particular order.
