The End of the Year!

This year I think the biggest goal I set was getting into shape! I was able to prove to myself with a lot of hard work, determination and tons of support I was able to get there. This year I think we have set two major goals!!

1st goal- Once again will be getting back into shape. This time next year I would like to be pre pregnancy weight and endurance if not even better!!

Plan

• Continue working out while pregnant.
• Using my Wii Fit.
• After having the baby run a few races leading up to a half marathon
• Counting on a my husband, kids, and Friends support once again!
• And after the past few weeks start eating much much better!!

2nd goal- This is more like a family goal! That is to be much better savers. It is a time you can never be to prepared.

Plan

We have our plan for this one! I will give more details later, but I am beyond excited for this and feel very blessed and grateful!


My husband and I have also set some spiritual goals, but we will keep those to ourselves. But I am excited for those also!

I love setting new goals and the first few weeks full of motivation and determination!! The hard part is continuing on through out the whole year!

I am excited for the new year more then anything is meeting our newest member of our family Dallin and making memories with my family!

So Excited!!

I am super excited. I wanted to make flower bows for Katelynn and Maylee's hair for a long time. But just time has always been in the way. Today we went to the hobby lobby and my sister and I saw some flower bows for 4.99 each. And I said, "We could totally do this!" So we did! We bought all the supplies between a few stores and split all the supplies. We made 25 bows in about a hour! I love it and had so much fun and super excited!!

Day 1 of Bow Making!

.20 or less for the flowers we bought them at the dollar store for a $1.oo for a bundle.
.16-Barretts we bought them at hobby lobby for $3.95 a bag 25 in a bag.
.20- for the gems that go in the middle. Again hobby lobby $3.95 a bag of 20.
.01- Not sure about that figure. I bought ribbon at JoAnnes to go around the barretts to hide the silver part on the side and it only cost .50 for the spool of ribbon.

Total cost .57 cents each!! That beats 4.99 any day!

Mass Confusion

First! Where oh Where am I going to put all my children!! We have a 3 bedroom house. In a few years it will be easy 2 girls in one room 2 boys in the other. But for now where to put all these kids! I feel bad I don't even know if Aiden knows where his room is because we have been switching him every night trying to figure out what is going to work.

Issues!

Easy Answer your thinking Aiden- NOPE! Aiden has night terrors and wakes up through out the night sometimes a few times a night and other nights sleeps through the night no problem. Plus Aiden likes to entertain the baby giving him toys, getting in his crib, giving glasses of water; Aiden can translate what babies want(no I don't really believe this) so he has to give it to them!!!

Maylee- Is the lightest sleeper in the whole wide world. I open a door and that girl is up!

Katelynn- Would probably be the best answer. She sleeps like a rock, but she does not want to leave her room. And has got stuck with all the babies!

All- We may put Katelynn, Aiden, & Maylee all in one room! AHHH!

At the this point. We have Maylee in Aiden's old room while we try to get her used to sleeping in a regular bed. And Aiden and Katelynn in the same room for the time being. The baby sleeps in our room for the first few months anyhow but still have no idea where to put all of them!!


Next! After seeing that He(Gary) gets another boy he is beyond done having kids!! Which I THINK we are done, but would like to wait a year before we start giving things away or donating stuff. Gary on the other hand was ready to put all the girls clothes in a trash bags this morning. It is just such a huge decision to make. I am not even 30 years old, can I really make such a huge decision. My other reason is every time I am pregnant I say, "I am never doing this again!" AND here I am once again!! I just want to have that feeling of completion and I really hope when this baby gets here I feel it!!

Spoke to soon

I think as soon as I hit the Publish button, I got a call they need to do another ultrasound to look at a few things.... DARN MAYNOR BABIES!!

-They need to look at the heart again

- He was turned to the side they want to get a picture of his face.

Not really worried about his little face, but I am a little concerned about the heart. But I don't have to come back till my next appointment and I am thinking if it was something big they would have me come in sooner. RIGHT???

Girl, Boy, Girl, BOY!!!

That's right we are having a BOY!!! I thought for sure there was no way we were having a boy. And as usual I was wrong. We are so excited to welcome another little boy into our home!! My Mom was in town this week, so she was able to go to the doctor. It was really nice. And unlike all my ultrasounds this one was different!!

My water levels-PERFECT!
Position-PERFECT
Kidneys-PERFECT
Heart-PERFECT
Hydration-PERFECT
Spine-PERFECT
Weight-PERFECT

Everything looks great!! With all the other kids the Ultrasound tech would say it will be a moment the doctor will need to talk to you before you go! Not with this one. It was nice not having to hear any bad news!!

HIS cute little profile!

And if you had any question!!

We are so excited!

Name: Dallin Warren Maynor
Weight: 10 oz
Craving: Jolly Ranchers, Subway sandwiches, salads; I can eat just about anything except Peanut Butter!! YUCK!
Sickness: Still have days, but the Zofran really does help and work with this one!

Fingers Crossed

Tomorrow we have the ultrasound to find out if the baby is a girl or a boy!! I am some what excited. Maylee moved around so it took me going every other week for a month and half before finally they could tell me what she was!! So I think I am not letting myself get to excited, plus even though I enjoy to complain(yes I admitted it) this pregnancy is flying by.

My thoughts on Gender:

• With my girls I carried everywhere and did not look pregnant till the very end. Just got fat everywhere evenly. This one I am carrying the same way. Aiden I was all belly.
• Aiden I only could eat fresh food, like cold sandwiches, salads, fruit, veggies and no MEAT!! This one I could eat a salad every meal and I could live off Subway, but on the same hand can still eat MEAT!
  
• I think a boy would just be to "right". Not only would I have two girls and two boys. We would also have girl, boy, girl, boy! Just to "Right."

Really either way I will be a happy Mom! There are wonderful things that I love about my girls and there our wonderful things about my boy!

Our Family votes what we all think!!

Mom-Girl
Dad-Boy
Katelynn-Girl
Aiden-Boy
Maylee- Boy(translated by Aiden)

Hopefully tomorrow we will see!!!

Christmas at the Maynors!

Christmas at the Maynor's house was nice we all had a great time. And okay maybe a little spoiled at times.

The following pictures are the kids getting their Santa gifts.

I need to get a high speed camera Aiden never stops so he always looks like a flash of my son going through a room!

Katelynn loved her stocking full of all the goodies!

And Maylee! Wasn't very sure of her gift, so she stood on the opposite side of the room from her gift! Giving it this strange look!

This was Maylee's gift! I was super excited about this gift. What do you buy a little girl who has two siblings? A yellow bus full of balls! But has you see she was not as excited as me!

Eventually she warmed up to it, when she figured out she could throw balls out of and hit her brother.

She also got a Sit and push little car which she was also scared of once again! But luckily she also warmed up to that one also.

She also enjoyed the candy!!

Our big gift this year was yes a Wii! We were all pretty excited about this gift. So I video taped the kids opening it!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Aiden on the Wii

I could not resist posting on quick Christmas blog! We were able to get a Wii this year to say the least we were all pretty excited! I had to video tape Aiden playing. It cracked me up!

Christmas Eve!!

I love Christmas Eve, it is my favorite holiday. It is just nice to spend the whole day with my kids and husband remembering the true meaning of Christmas. We started the day early Gary cooked up a dessert for tomorrow(more to come), I made Jesus Birthday cakes, we had the opportunity to cook dinner for a family in the ward, make our big Christmas Eve Dinner, seeing a few friends, and Celebrating the birth of Christ, Pajamas, and a special surprise!

For Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Brown got a cupcake kit. The cupcakes our bigger so they look like miniature cakes with decorating supplies. It was a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Gary reading the kids the story of Our Savior Birth.

Christmas PJs

Then came a knock on the door. Who could it be???? Well of course.....

Santa asked have you been naughty? Aiden replied, "A little bit!" So funny my life would be so dull without him. We had a great Christmas Eve, and can't wait till tomorrow to see their faces as they open their gifts!

The things we learn

Oh My Maylee has been learning so much lately. Or should I say how to get her way!! Here are a few examples:

• The newest one at night, in the morning, in the middle of the night anytime she wants out of her crib. She screams, she cries and she yells OWIE!! She knows I can't just ignore I have to check on her. We open the door and there she stands with her arms out and her huge smile upon her face!
• "MOM" is not me. It is I want I want I want!! ALL I hear is MOM MOM MOM even if I am not even in the room. And there she is pointing to whatever she wants screaming my name! I think this is because I'm the parent that gives in so if she wants something she knows her MOM will give it to her!
• "Share" give it to Maylee
• When she has something she hold it tight and screams "MEME"
• She has decided she only likes to eat a few days a week. On the other days I put the food in front of her she says, "EWWW Gross Poop POO!" ( I know real nice, mostly when you at a restaurant or somebody house and she is screaming this!)
  
• If you ask Maylee, "Where is the baby?" She points to herself "CUTE Baby!" (so humble)
• Her favorite, she thinks she is so funny when she does this. I ask is "Momma cute?" She replies "DADDA CUTE!" then she laughs so funny!!
  

You may wonder why we put up with such a TURD and the answer is explained in a picture!

That's right this smile! It melts my heart I love it I can't get enough of Maylee huge smile that really is her whole face! I just love this girl to pieces. She learns so much each day and even though I am not always excited about the tricks she may learn I love seeing my Maylee personality and the little girl she is!

Christmas!

Christmas Outfits!

In need of a brother

Sunday morning Katelynn could not wait to put on her Christmas dress. As soon as she ate breakfast she asked, "Can I put my dress on now?" Remind you church does not start til 1pm. But she said she would be careful. So I let her, then Aiden ran over, "Mom can I put my costume on too?" I was so excited I really thought it would be a fight to get Aiden to wear his red shirt. I said, "of course!"

My girls getting ready for church with make up and all. Yup Maylee has already mastered make up. We have a rule make up in the house but not out of the house.

And for this red shirt I was so exited for Aiden to be wearing. He came down in his Costume! My boy!

Not quite his bright red shirt I was looking for, but he is purely my boy. He came down ready to play and all he got was his sisters playing with make up! I will be beyond thankful for whatever the Lord decides to bless us with, but I know this little boy has a BOY on his wish list!! If it is a boy I may have to take him home in bubble wrap!!!!

Update

I got a call today from the pharmacy! Saying my medicine was ready to be picked up. My insurance was going to cover it!! YIPPEE!!! I seriously had tears running down my face! Sounds a little dramatic but really I was just so happy and pregnancy emotion just took over!! I ran to the pharmacy and I am such a happy camper!! I am sure Gary and the kids are happy to have a normal(well almost) mom again!!!

Puppy Chow/ Buddy Mix

Not exactly sure what to call it, but it sure is yummy! The other night the kids wanted to make buddy mix/puppy chow. As we were about to get started Katelynn can you make it and we just be the judges?? Sounded awesome to me,not have 6 other hands digging through the dessert. The kids enjoyed "judging it!"





Just Christmas humor! On Saturday the kids were able to see Santa Clause.

So on Thursday I told Aiden that Santa was going to ask him if he was a good boy or bad boy. So he better be good, because he can't lie to Santa.

On Friday coming home from picking up Katelynn

Aiden: "Mom am I being good?"
Mom: "Yes"
Aiden: "Then when we get home I'm going to sleep till Saturday!"
Mom: "Why?"
Aiden: "That way I can tell Santa I'm being good, you can't be bad when you sleep!"

My insurance vent

I never complain about our insurance. Growing up I never had insurance and even though we pay plenty for our insurance I am still very grateful for it.

-About a week ago I got a letter from Quest Diagnosis saying they needed some information. I did not think much of it, we rarely get our blood drawn so no big deal. Filled the paperwork out mailed it back.

-This Saturday I went to get my prescription filled for Zofran. This is the drug that keeps me from throwing up and makes me feel normal and a happy Korina while pregnant!! While leaving the drug store I got a phone call saying that my insurance was not going to fill it till the 22nd. After some talking and they said they called my insurance. They said it would be ready the following morning. After a very long night of really feeling pregnant, I was looking forward to getting my medicine. I woke up still feeling like crud. Gary ran to pick up the prescription where they said your insurance said they will no longer be covering this prescription. Gary came home and told me. At first I took it well, then the tears started. The thought of having to spend the rest of my pregnancy feeling pregnant was not what I wanted! I pushed these thoughts out of my mind thinking Dr. Paul will take care of it! My insurance during every pregnancy decides Zofran is to expensive and usually stops, then Dr. Paul calls straightens things out and it all works out. So not much thinking.

-Monday I checked the mail to get a 495.00 bill for Maylee from Maylee's doctor! Reason on bill for payment insurance denying benefits! I knew now something must be wrong with our wonderful insurance.

We had NOT got a letter, email nothing and oh yes they are still taking the money out of Gary's check. I called to come to find out they wanted to make sure they are the only insurance we have. So we had to print off the paperwork and MAIL it to them. Which will take a few days then it takes them up to 48hours to input it into their system, before our benefits are back! So hopefully by Monday I will have my medicine. So there is my complaint! UGH!!

More Christmas!

Friday was the ward party. Which of course this great mother forgot her camera! The kids had a great time though. And even a special guest showed up! Santa Clause!! The kids loved it!!!! They were funny Maylee was not having it. Katelynn wanted the treat. And Aiden made me tell Santa what he wanted. So Santa said, "Aiden what do you want?" Aiden, "Mom tell him!" So I said something then Aiden would say, "what else mom." Why he didn't just tell him in the first place I don't know!

Then Saturday. I had the RS Temple brunch always a nice way to celebrate the Christmas season!

That night my family the Browns get together every year to have a Christmas party. I look forward to this event seeing all my Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. And now all of their families. This year one of my cousin's Chase came down all the way from Alaska. It has been awhile since I had seen him, it was nice.

All the kids!

Santa comes every year. When I was a kid one of my aunts had a horse and carriage so would get to go around with Santa. Vegas developing like it did, no more horse and carriage. But still a Santa! Mrs. Clause made the kids pillow cases and if they shake the pillow case you can hear a bell and Santa can here it also! The kids had a blast waiting and looking for Santa. Running from one end of the house to other searching for Santa!

It was a lot of fun being able to see all of my family! We did not stay to long but still had a great time.


Sunday- The Katleynn and Aiden along with 4 other little kids sang, "Away in a Manger." They did really well. Aiden faced the crowd and actually sang a couple of verses! And Katelynn was a little nervous but went up there and did a great job!

Tis the Season

December has begun! I try to cram everything into December and do plenty of family activities. Hoping that my kids will remember this time of year and spending time as a family. And the great thing about Vegas, is there really is a lot of things in Vegas you can do for free this time of year!

I like to start the first weekend. The first weekend came and I had a very sick house. The kids were getting very jittery being stuck in the house all weekend. So Sunday night we drove around and looked at Christmas lights for family home evening.

Wednesday one of my friends had a cookie exchange. We enjoyed getting together with friends and playing the night away!

Thursday we went to Live Nativity held here in town. It started at 6pm we looked it up on map quest it said 25 min. drive. Maybe when its not RUSH hour in Vegas! We got there just at 6pm. it was already full. They were very nice and said you can wait till 8pm. UMMM yeah with 6 kids and 2 moms! NOT HAPPENING! Luckily we were able to stand on the side and peak over the fence so everyone could watch it. It was really nice, I would like to go next year but set in the bleachers!! After the show, they let you go pet the animals and go inside where they had hundreds of nativities set up. It was really fun the kids had a great time. It was worth the hassle of dragging 6 kids around for those memories.

Living outside the box!

We survived and did not loose any kids! Maylee decided that she was way to old to be held. So it was a fun trying to keep after her.

Aiden petting a sheep.

The kids warming their fingers on a FAKE fire!

Maylee and Katelynn playing with the sheep.

We had a great time. The kids and I enjoyed ourselves! And maybe one day my husband will only have to work one job, so he can enjoy it with us! But until then we will just make sure to share the memories with him!!

day 10- songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad

The only time I really listen to music is when I am running or driving. And I am awful knowing any artist or even the name of the song. I think when I am in moods I listen to different types.

Happy-Lately Christmas Songs so the kids and I can sing to them
Sad- Country
Bored-Some sad song which leads to thinking
Hyped- Again something I can sing along with
Mad- I don't even think I listen when I am mad.

I know not much help there on my song choice!!!

Award Ceremony/ Report Card

Katelynn had a award ceremony yesterday. She received the academic award the All-Star Award and the Citizenship Award. I was so proud of her. She is such a good girl. She was so excited I think she must have changed her clothes at least 10 times that morning getting ready for the big engagement!

She also received her First Trimester Report Card yesterday. Last Year one of my friends Ashlee wrote the teachers comments on her blog. And I thought what a great idea. I loose everything and anything, but this is something I can for sure find!

1st Trimester Comments:
Katelynn is a diligent worker and completes her daily assignments on time. She loves learning and enjoys helping other students who are struggling. In math, she can solve addition and subtraction problems to ten. She would benefit from counting different sets of coins at home, pennies, dimes and nickels; and determining the value. Continue to help Katelynn practice her math facts every night. Katelynn loves writing and is writing complete sentences without assistance. Please encourage her to write stories including character, setting, a problem and solution. She could then share these stories with others. Katelynn is reading above grade level books with some comprehension and fluency. Asking Katelynn questions about the book she is reading will help improve her comprehension. Continue to read every night and record her minutes on the reading log.

I really enjoyed the teachers comment it gives us something to continue working on to help Katelynn to continue to learn and better herself.

day 9- something you're proud of in the past few days

I really do not know something I've done in the past few days worth being proud of. I made a 100 cookies yesterday for a cookie exchange. I guess that works for now!

Its a.............................

Still a cute little baby! I went to the doctor yesterday. And I was really hoping that like all Maynor babies this one would be a turd and they would not be able to find the heart beat. So I would get a ultra sound and sneak a peak. BUT nope this Maynor baby chose to corporate with the doctor. The baby is still doing really well and looking good. I had the chromosome test yesterday and will find out the results next appointment. My next appointment is on the 28th where I will hopefully find out what is growing inside in me. So we can give him/her a name instead of the famous baby Maynor. I think we have finally decided on names. One is different then the original names. And they may change again a week. So hopefully the update on Baby Maynor will have a sex and a name!

My pregnancy is getting better. Everyone ask and I don't blame them, because I do the same. Ask "Is this it?" And I really do think so, but at the same time, I am not ready to make such a concrete answer. I really do think so though. Four kids is a lot and four pregnancies really is plenty for me.

I have been able to keep working out I am still running 3 miles, lately I have been walking more. Not really because of my belly, just for the fact that I enjoy it. I still feel good and sore after doing it plus I can go farther if I walk then if I run. I think I will just continue to go back and forth. As long as I am doing something I am hoping it will help with the recovery after the birth!

Keep casting your vote to see if baby Maynor is a girl or a boy!!!

day 8- short term goals for this month and why

I have so many short term goals for this month!

• getting through each day!
• not having sick kids!
• getting ready for Christmas!
• Keeping the Christmas spirit!
• Making it to all the Holiday events!
• Not gaining a thousand pounds!
• Continue to workout
• A empty laundry basket, sink, or dishwasher would all work!
• Enjoying the holiday
• Getting ready for my lesson in January
• Having the spirit with me and in our home!

My kids have a few goals also

• Making sure mom goes crazy at least once a day
• getting every winter sickness possible by the end of the month.
• Opening Christmas presents before Christmas
• Sharing there yummy treats with Mom and dad
• Making sure that Mom is never bored so they keep the laundry basket, sink and dishwasher FULL
• And of course enjoying every moment of the month!

Somehow I think the kids will win out on there goals. But at least we will end with smiles upon our faces!

day 7- a picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Someone that has biggest impact on me, I know is My Savior. Jesus Christ died for me, I am here and able to journey through this life because of him and his love for me.

day 6- favorite super hero and why

When I first read this idea on Sarah's blog. When I saw Super Hero I was like great. I guess I may be a realistic, I never had crushes on Movie Stars growing up. I guess I lack in imagination. I do know of quite a few married to the man, who has batman, spiderman, and Fantastic Four movies. And having a 4 year old that lives a superhero life. I thought at first Our Savior! Perfect but then I read number 7 and I rather put that answer there.

My thoughts on my superhero

For the first time probably since Aiden was born I went to church by myself yesterday. Katelynn was recovery from a sore throat and Aiden threw up the night before and I wanted him to go 24 hours without throwing up before going out in public. And Maylee was napping!

First two YM age boys got up a bared their testimonies I automatically thought of their mother. And thought what does it take to raise two good boys, that want to share their testimony. Could she be a superhero for raising righteous children? Not being raised in the church I hope and pray nightly that we will have righteous children. When I see YM or YW that are extraordinary I almost want to ask the MOM HOW?!!

Then the Man who got up and talked about how grateful he was to get a job. He was grateful for this job because now he has the ability to pay his tithing. Paying our tithing is something I guess I take it for grated. Does that make this man a hero, to rise out of his low with his head held high learning a lesson from this all?

Then the other Man who does not attend church regularly not because he doesn't want to. But because of his health. But every fast Sunday that he is there, he slowly makes it to the podium to bare his testimony of the truth of the gospel. Does that make him a superhero?

Or the Sister in the ward that cares for the sister past exhaustion but continues to care and pray for each sister. Is she a superhero?

The two sisters who taught yesterday. To get up in front of your peers and teach and inspire. This is one of my greatest fears. So they are superhero in my eyes?

Or the Friend who is always there to listen or to console with during your lows of lows? Superhero?

Or the Crazy ladies that our able to get pass the pain and flopping of their tummies and continues to workout till the baby comes. Superhero?

Or the people who serves at all times. Superhero?

The Husband who works all day and comes homes to help his wife with the kids. Superhero?

The people who reach and defeat their goals or trials they may be facing. Superhero?

I could go on, but my question is what makes a SUPERHERO? Does it have to be someone flying through the sky or can it be the person across the street?

#5 a picture of somewhere you've been to

day 4- a habit that you wish you didn’t have

One habit I have is I know I spend way to much time on the computer! There are reason why I spend a lot of time.
-Communication out of the house
-My outlet
-Something to do in my free time, or while the kids are napping or while I am having the watch the 12th sponge bob in a row.


But at the same time I know I am on it way to much and there are so many things I could and at times should be doing the doodling away my time on the computer!

A Katelynn Story

Background:

A week ago we had Katelynn's Parent Teacher Conference the teacher said she is doing well. But needs not to be so sensitive. If anyone gets in trouble in the class. Katelynn is in tears.



Yesterday: Katelynn came home from school
Katelynn so excited, "DAD guess what I got in trouble today and I didn't even cry!"
She was so proud of herself.

Just in case you wanted to know why Katelynn was in such huge trouble for. She was playing with her necklace during class and her teacher asked, "Katelynn please stop playing with your necklace."

Number 3 Picture with friends

What a better friend then my best friend!!Okay here is the sad thing is Gary and I have NO pictures with just the two of us in them. I think since we had Katelynn we have always had a kid in the picture. But he was my best friend then and he is still my best friend now.

Day 1

At least I started off on the right leg! 15 things interesting about me. I DON'T see I told you I would fail at this...................

1. MMM its not a good thing when you get stumped on the first one. I don't like feet. I hate feet. I would say I am scared of feet. The thought of them makes me sick. I make Gary wear socks and I hate when I can see a foot out of the corner of my eye. So gross. My siblings used to hold me down and stick their gross disgusting feet in my face. I may never forgive them for this.

2. I will kind steal this idea from Sarah. From 5th grade and on through school I played the clarinet. I only was in band so I could go to the ball games. In Texas none of the games where in Town. So if you were in the band you got a free ride to all the games!!

3. I grew up in Texas. On a farm, I used to feed cows bottles yup was a total farm girl!

4. I am a convert to the church.

5. It drives me crazy that my husband is such a procrastinator!! I will be a day away from baby before he finally writes up lesson plans. Every day I give him a new list of babies names AHH why do we have decide now Korina we still have like 12 months!! AHHHH I am the stresser and he never worries!! It is probably why we are perfect together but it still bugs me!!

6. My dad dated a girl named Korina and that is how I got my name! I am not sure okay I KNOW I would never name one of our kids after anyone Gary ever dated!

7. I hate crying. I hate not having control. When I cry I don't have control and I just can't stand it. And some days I am so emotional I just want to hide in my room. It comes to the point that someone says Hi and I break down into tears and I don't even know why! I can't stand it!!

8. When I worked I was super organized and always had list. Now that I stay home I feel like I am the most unorganized mother in the world.

9. When I was young I used to run a lot. Actually at Chaparral High School here in Vegas I held a few records. I am sure they are beyond beat by now. I used to run all the time. Then I got married and then pregnant with Katelynn. And then there just was no time. Amazing how I find time now with 3 kids but couldn't find any then. I think that is why it bugs me so badly how slow I am!! But at least I am out there!!

10. This is kind of interesting but more on the confusing side. I have 2 full siblings, 1 half sibling and 3 step siblings. Try explaining that to someone when they ask you how many sibling you have!

11. I am very competitive and never back down to a challenge.

12. I rarely say NO! And its not because I can't! I really do enjoy helping others and I have been between a rock or hard spot plenty of times and help is always nice. Plus, it takes a lot to ask for help so if I can help I really do enjoy it.

13. I think this is my first year to ever stick to my new years resolution!

14. I love taking baths. I take a shower to clean all the dirt off then a nice bath!! I love them! Mostly right now with it being so cold!!

15. I may complain at times But I LOVE MY JOB!!! I love being a mom!!


AHHHHHHHHHHH I made it!!
