Well, I have been reading alot of emails about family and how much particular people mean to them. I would like to jump on the band wagon. I wanted to talk about my boys. (I promise I'll do pictures eventually - we are currently in a camera slump. That means that we have no stinkin' idea where our camera is and that is KILLIN ME!!! We have almost NO pictures of Jack.) Jaden is 5 and is about to start kindergarten (!!!) he CANNOT wait. He is so anxious to start and start learning. He read a book last night! HE READ A BOOK LAST NIGHT!!!! It was a "learning to read" book and truth be told he had half of it memorized but he did so well with the words he didn't know. You could almost see his self esteem go up a couple of notches. It was amazing! I know I can't really make this judgement but I really think he is a little ahead of the game. We go in for his SEP evaluation next week so we shall see if he is truly as brillant as I think he is. Also... that kid is so good lookin'! He got my beautiful face ;-), hair, and eyes. He has naturally tan skin and a smile to kill! He is always trying to help and will do just about anything for somebody he loves and he loves everybody. He is going to break hearts but he will feel awful about it.
Noah... Noah is just about the funniest kid you've ever met. He is a singer and a dancer and he is a smart little booger. He has this turkey baster (I hope that's how you spell it) that his uses as his sword. Last night he had his turkey baster and an apple cutter and put the apple cutter on the "sword" and made an extra cool sword. So, he had his normal sword and the little part by the handle that protects the hand. Mike was dumbfounded, he thought it was genius! I didn't really think much of it but it was really quite clever of him to put the together and make a "real sword." Ching! (That's what he says after drawing his sword from his pants pocket.) Then he says "I'm Peter Pan!" He's a MAJOR GROUCH when he wakes up after a nap but snaps out of it because he get a drink of apple juice or gets to play with his very best friend... Jaden. (I REALLY hope that friendship lasts, they both need a good friend and it would be so awesome for them to have the other to lean on.) Noah looks more like his Daddy with his squinty eyes and light colored hair but I think his hair will go dark (Maybe not as dark and Jaden's - Jade's a brunette in the purest sense of the word) although I really hope it stays blonde.
Jack Jack is the baby and is all smiles and giggles. He's rolling over and laughing at his big brothers now. Jaden makes this gross noise and Jack thinks it's SO SO SO funny. I love the sound of baby laughter. (I've been thinking about recording it and setting it as my ring tone but I'm not sure I'd be able to hear that if it's buried in my purse and I'd inevitably have that gross noise Jaden makes and I don't want to hear that everytime my phone rings... but I digress.) I love the way he smiles and me and kicks his feet when I sing the "Sunshine" song to him but change the word Sunshine to Jack. I completely adores his older brothers and I think that someday he will proud to call them brother. I always thought that the relationships between girls is special but now I think that boys have the better relationships. I've always struggled with relationships with girls because of the drama that comes with them but the relationship between boys is pure. If a boy doesn't like you he doesn't pretend (generally speaking) like some girls do. I hope all my beautiful boys stay close together. They are the light of my "Little Life."
By the way, Melanie, if you read this we really ought to get our boys together, you're youngest is older than my youngest but the others are the same age and I GUARANTEE that my boys are every bit as wild and crazy as yours. I'll tell stories about them... but some other time. Anyway, let me know when you are in town next and we should go to a park or something.

Scary Movies (or should I say over rated?) and Air Conditioners
Well, we saw Batman this weekend. It was too long and I thought the plot was a little thin. Batman Begins had a satisfyingly thick plot but this was was just ridiculous. I was told how wonderful this movie is but honestly, it was just extremly violent and TOO LONG!!!! I thought that the movie was done and then it's like a WHOLE NEW MOVIE STARTED!!!!! When I thought it was finishing the first time it was already too long then when it kind of started again it was just torture to have to sit through more of it. I'm really glad it was free, I wouldn't have wanted to pay to see it.
I'm sorry I'm complaining a lot today but I have another problem. Our air conditioner sucks! We have a house that is only 3 years old and our STUPID STUPID STUPID air conditioner keeps freezing up. We clean out the filter constantly but it keeps freezing. When the air conditioner freezes it will get all plugged up and no cold air can come out of it so we have to turn it off for 48-72 hours. Yesterday was SO MUCH FUN, all day in the heat!!!! It was doing so well for like three weeks we hadn't had any problems with it but then it froze up yesterday. GRRRR!!! I am going to have to pay to have somebody come out and look at it. Just to look at it! How irritating! Does anybody know a good fixit man that can come look at it for me?
Okay, something happy. Noah is just about the funniest kid in the world! (I really ought to do the picture thing - I will someday I promise) but yesterday in church he was sitting on my lap before and he was like "Mommy, am I a sister?" This was in the middle of Sacrament meeting so I was trying to get him to sush (Noah doesn't have a quiet voice) and I said " No, you are a boy so you are a brother." He burst into tears and cried "No, I want to be the sister." I HAD TO TAKE HIM OUT!!!! Then we had an episode with a red crayon. Noah's favorite color is red so he asked for the crayon so he could color his picture of Nephi (we only do church related stuff in sacrament meeting and no treats at all, it just causes conflict - the instigator, of course, is Noah!) so I gave it to him and he screamed "This is the pink crayon, I want the red crayon! My favorite color is red!" I HAD TO TAKE HIM OUT AGAIN!!! This story is the kicker. We all walk out to car and, as usual, Noah bolts. We get the other kids in the car and Mike starts his weekly trek around the building to find him. He comes around without Noah so figures he's gone inside. Mike goes in a looks for him but has no luck. At that point I'm freaking out because there are so many places he could go! I'm trying not to let my imagination run wild but there are lots of people leaving so he could have run out into the parking lot and gotten hit by a car or somebody could have nabbed him or, knowing Noah, he could have wandered far and wide looking for a piece of candy. After about my third lap in the car I see Mike standing on the sidewalk with this little imp. It turns out that he (noah) somehow got inside and went into the primary room (WITH A DIFFERENT WARD!!!!) and was singing songs with the senior primary! He was just sitting in the back swinging his legs and singing songs. That kid! He totally didn't see any problem with what he was doing! GRRRR!!!!!

Harry Potter 6
Seriously, this is a joke. Why the corn isn't the Harry Potter 6 Preview out yet? I want to see it so I can start the misery of having to wait for it. I keep looking for it on the internet but I can't it over and over and over again. Twilight is coming out AFTER HP6 and I have seen that preview several times. Why can't I find it?!?! Why isn't it on the internet yet? I've heard rumors that it's going to be a preview for the new Batman movie but I've heard that song and dance again.
We saw Get Smart this weekend and laughed our butts off! It was so funny. Steve Carrell (spelling?) cracks me up! We are big fans! We watch "The Office" religiously and go through withdrawal during the summer!
I recently saw Wall-E too.... all I have to say is Eh... it's alright. The people are kinda weird. Out of 5 I would give 3 stars. It got amazing reviews but personally I thought it was weird. I don't think we'll be buying this one when it comes out... it was weird.

Fly Away Bird!
My kids are hilarious! Last night I was taking Jaden, Noah and Jack home. Noah was sitting in the middle which was a little different, he's usually on the passenger side of the car. Noah was saying "Fly away bird. Fly away bird.... AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! FLY AWAY BIRD!!!!!" There was no bird, I don't know why he was screaming it but it had Jaden Jack and I all laughing our heads off. It was hilarious!

I Never Stand Alone
(Preface: I just re read this entry and think that it may come across as preachy, that's not my intention. I am simply espressing how I feel and I feel very strongly about this. I am not asking anything from anybody else, I am simply saying how I feel about my life.)
We frequently listen to FM100 on Sunday's. They have a "Sounds of the Sabbath" program that goes on all day with church music. It's very convienant (sp?) if you don't want to listen to regular radio on Sunday. I think that they use the same schedule with the songs (probably so they don't have to had a DJ on Sunday - I think it's pre recorded) so on the way home on Sunday evening (which is usually around 8:00) we always here the song "I Never Stand Alone." It talks about how when we stand for God and what is right (even though others may think of us as "weak and simple hearted") "we stand with Nephi and Moroni, with Abinadi who testified in flame." What an honor. One of the first things I'm going to do when I die is go introduce myself to Nephi and Jacob. Sometimes when we are alone and we look around and wonder why we do what we do we can think that we are not alone because we are with Nephi, Moroni, Jacob, Joseph Smith, Heber J. Grant (my personal favorite), President Hinckley, and President Monson. These are men I will always stand with! What an honor it is to know that we believe the same thing. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and especially for a living prophet who can tell me what I need to do and how to do it.
I heard in church the other day that we need to follow God's commandments the first time he tells us to do something. About a month before I had been inspired to do something. It was something that God wanted me to do, I'm sure of it. So I took the first few steps but didn't see it through until I heard that lesson. I hadn't been prompted again to go do this thing so I figured that I had just imagined it. Well, I know that I didn't imagine it and after I read that Joseph Smith said that we should do what God asks the first time (a concept I had never really thought about) I decided to do this OH SO SCARY THING!!! Well, I did it and I'm not sure if anything will come of it but I have decided that from now on I'm going to do what God asks the first time around instead of waiting for further promptings to do it. Sometimes we are asked to do things for other people that have nothing to do with the other person but more to do with us showing God that we will do what we are asked.
Anybody who knows me knows that I think about the Second Coming of the Savior ALOT. Sometimes I'm terrified but sometimes I'm excited for the the people of the world to see the Savior again and live under his loving rule. I have also been thinking about God's people. God will have a pure people, we will be purged and the wheat and the tares will be seperated so there is no time to lose! We MUST do what God asks the first time. We need to follow the counsel of the prophets and we need to decide where we stand. I know I stand with Nephi and Moroni... so I stand with God. I never stand alone!

Dave Ramsey
I'm so confused. I have mentioned that I am always forgetting passwords... well I wanted to comment on somebody else's blog but it asked me for my password but I couldn't remember it. I came here because I know that I can tell this place that I forgot my password and they will be kind enough to remind me but I pushed login and I was logged in. I didn't have to enter a password. This is very problematic for me because I can't comment on that other blog. (By the way, if you want to read the CUTEST blog in the history of the world go to http://michellejohnnie.blogspot.com/, I worked with this girl at Oakcrest and she is the cutest little thing I could ever imagine!!!!) Problems problems.
So, I had something very exciting this morning (I can't say here in case somebody does read this blog, however unlikely, and I give away a secret) but it's put me in a highly aggetated (spelling?!?!) state and now I feel like everything I touch needs an exclaimation point! Expect to see alot in this blog. Once again, I'm drawing a blank. Ya' know, I wouldn't blame people for not reading this blog. I don't think I would read it if I didn't have to read it while I'm typing. Very boring!
Mike and I are living by a budget for the first time really. (I know, we've been married 6 years now and have NEVER lived by a budget... awesome!) and it's driving me crazy. We aren't driving our family car hardly at all anymore (gas prices SUCK!) so we are packing all 5 of us into a VW Jetta (super squish!) and I can only spend $112.34 at the grocery store this week. That's right, $112.34! It seems random but it's really not. We have it all on paper. The trouble is I feel just as broke as I did before. Having to consult the budget before I buy a candybar is IRRITATING! I guess it's all for the best but for Pete's sake! We have recently gotten very excited about Dave Ramsey and his stuff (which, by the way I HIGHLY recommend) and we are learning for the first time in our lives how to use and live by a budget (not lovin' it). this is always been something we totaly suck at but even though I feel completely broke just knowing that we are going to have money in the back for our expenses is AWESOME! Someday we may even have money in a savings account!!! Wouldn't that be exciting?!?!? We are very pathetic when it comes to money and keeping our house clean, if only Dave Ramsey had a plan for that... we'd be set!

Horton Hears a Who
We have three boys 5, 3, and 4 months. This last weekend was Memorial day weekend and it was raining like God had flooded the bathtub so we stayed home and cleaned the house. Mike and I aren't very good at cleaning the house so sometimes it gets crazy, out of control, messy! This is where we were on Monday. Jaden (the 5 year old) was going crazy and Noah (the 3 year old) wasn't dressed by 2:30 in the afternoon. Everybody was edgy so we decided that we had better get out of the house. So, Mike and I took the boys (ALL THREE OF THEM!!!) to the dollar movie. (BTW, I was happy to find out that the dollar theater in Sandy is actually a $.50 theater on Mondays!) so all four of us were able to go see Horton Hears a Who for 2 dollars!!! Of course Noah is a fiend so we had to buy popcorn and a drink so really the movie ended up costing about 10 dollars. Not too shabby if you ask me. Anyway, I think that the Horton Hears a Who movie was great. It was entertaining (except for the screaming baby in the back row! - sorry everybody) and had some good lessons. I liked that Horton didn't give up he kept trying and trying and even though that grouchy kangaroo was awful Horton didn't give in but then ended up forgiving her. The famous quote from that book and the movie is "A person's a person, no matter how small." What a simple way of saying we all matter!

Maybe I am Strong Enough
Okay, I don't think anybody reads this but I thought I'd just get my thoughts out into the universe. If anybody does read this that doesn't know me (not likely since I've told very few people about it that do know me) I am LDS otherwise known as a "Mormon." Truly I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Recently there has been much talk around me about the second coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I don't understand why all these scary scary scary things have to happen. With the Earthquake in China and the cyclone in... I know remember where that one was, the economy being in the crapper, gas prices up, the dishonesty in politics, the terrorists and everything else that's going on I am watching the signs of the second coming come upon us and it's SCARY! I am naturally a faithful person (it's what we call a spiritual gift) but I am not sure I'm faithful enough for this! I know in the end it will all be okay and that Jesus will come back and peace will regin but I don't like the trip from Point A to Point B. There are so many good peole in this world that do not know about the gospel of Jesus Christ and it breaks my heart. With the fear I have and the knowledge I possess of the plan of Salvation (the destiny of mankind) and knowing that my eternal life is already mapped out and I am going to be okay (as is my family) I CANNOT imagine how scary this life would be without that knowledge. I am grateful grateful grateful that I know I'm gonig to be okay and my family is going to be with me for eternity.
Looking back over the past few years I see that God has been setting me up (in a good way) to make sure that I'm okay. Through many trials I have begun to discover my own strength and my own power. I am grateful that I know that. Anyway, God has been setting me up to make sure that I'm okay. He has shown me the importance of food storage (still working on this one), taught me what it's like to have a simple little goal change your whole life, the importance of financial security, the joy and beauty of motherhood, the overwhelming power of the priesthood that has been given to my sweet humble husband, and countless other things. I'm not good at doing laundry or having a clean house all the time and sometimes I'm a HORRIBLE mother but while those things are important I'm more anxious to teach my kids that I love them, that God loves them, and that THEY are powerful too. That's a difficult thing to teach to children and I truly don't think it's something that can be taught without knowing it yourself first. I hope that I can convey to my children that they are wonderful and awesome the way they are and that they don't need to change... Maybe I am strong enough for this.

This and That
I set up usernames all the time.. over and over... I can't ever keep them straight. Every time I set up a new one I come back to the website and I have to start over because I can't ever remember the one I set up in the first place.
Jaden is starting Kindergarten soon. YIKES! I can't believe it. I feel like he might as well be going a mission and getting married now. I can't believe he's already 5 years old! He has been struggling a little bit lately, he doesn't deal with big changes well and I pointed out to him that he's not going to be going to "Miss Karen's" (preschool) anymore. I think that freaked him out a little bit. I have never been so scared of 5 year old kids in my life! When I think of all the scary, sad, and mean things kids do I am scared for my little JadenPants (nickname... I know it's stupid, but it's Jaden). What if he doesn't make friends (who wouldn't love him?!?!), what if he DOES make friends but with the wrong people?!?!?! What if they find he has a learning disability? What if he hurts himself and nobody can get to him and they can't get a hold of me and all the time my sweet little boy is in a coma?!?!? What if he wanders off the playground, gets lost and we lose him? Vocalizing these fears is not doing anything to calm me down. As a matter a fact I'm about to have an anxiety attack. I don't think it would be so bad if I were closer but I work so I am no where near him.
Let's change subjects... The Jazz! That's what we'll talk about. I was very disappointed with their performance last night. That was the sloppiest I've seen this team play in a LONG TIME! There were so many fouls and the turn overs were a joke! I'm not much into sports but that was a sad performance. And it was on their own court! I must say though... I love Kyle Koerver (spelling?) and it's not because he is beautiful. He is just such a good guy. It's nice to have somebody that my kids look up to that is a good person. I think most of the Jazz players are nice guys but Kyle is the kind of guy that I would want my daughter to bring home (if I had a daughter that is). I heard a story about how he donates 1/3 of his salary to charities and such. 1/3!!! I wine about the 10% we donate to the church! http://www.sltrib.com//ci_9036763?IADID=Search-www.sltrib.com-www.sltrib.com
Anway, I know that again this has been really about nothing but that's what you get for reading my blog... does anybody even read it? I doubt it.

I wine about the 10% we donate to the church! http://www.sltrib.com//ci_9036763?IADID=Search-www.sltrib.com-www.sltrib.com
Anway, I know that again this has been really about nothing but that's what you get for reading my blog... does anybody even read it? I doubt it.

A first
This is a first for me and I'm not sure I'm going to have anything to say... at least not anything anybody will care about. Oh well, this can be a fun little project. My name is Stephanie and I am a 27 (OH MY GOSH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M 27!!!). I am a mother of 3 little boys who are as great as they come! Jaden, Noah, and Jack. Jaden is 5, Noah 3, and Jack is 3 months. I work full time for a growing company in Salt Lake City and I am married to Mike. Brother... what a life!
My sister has a blog and she has a new entry all the time, so I thought this might be fun but I honestly cannot think of anything to say. I have a small life and there is nothing great or important about it except that I am the mother of three beautiful boys. They are the light of my life and even though my house is always a mess and I'm always exhausted because they keep me running so hard core I can't imagine life without them. Actually, it seems that my life didn't really start until Jaden was born.
I have a good job (I'm not going to say where because there are some nutty people out there!) and I think I've got a pretty important position here. I might have to start traveling though and that would suck. I'm actually at work right now so.... maybe if I keep doing stuff like this while I'm at work they will discover that I shouldn't travel because I can't stay focused and they don't want to advertise that to our clients. I'm not going to try to explain what I do for a living because it's too complicated, but I enjoy it... I even enjoy some of the drama that comes up from time to time. Everybody needs a little drama.
