Three words I cannot spell no matter how old or educated I am:

Received
Supposed
Rhythm


(especially the latter. I'm not joking when i say it took me an embarrassing amount of attempts to get Safari's little red-line spell check to disappear when I wrote it out.)

What can I do? These words always trick my brain.


Life is good. We all got a case of the common cold in this house, but we will survive. It's a busy week for us too, with art and wedding showers and parties and such.

Also, I've got to say this, and I'm sorry if I offend anyone in the process: Why the Twilight mania? Why?
I've read the series. I get it. Vampires+Virginal Longing+ Teenage Angst= Filling the Customary Lustful Voids us desperate 20-30 somethings feel when we go to sleep at night. It's perfectly understandable.
But it's getting ridiculous. Lest we not forget the book is about sparkly vegetarian, blood-sucking super models who fight werewolves over the affections of a clumsy and foolish high school junior with pale skin and a bad attitude. (And it's a Buffy rip-off at best).
Oh, in the interest of full disclosure, you should know that I will see this movie with MAB. Just not yet. Just not now.


I kid you not, there are women in my neighborhood who are painting their faces tomorrow to go see the show. Don't believe me? Gentlemen of the jury, EXHIBIT A:

I'm not sure what this is, but I promise you, it can't be good. This is the girl that is painting the faces for one of the many "Twihard" parties out here. (There are four organized ones that I know of, where groups of grown women have purchased the tickets and are going to the show together.) Festivities begin tomorrow night and will go all weekend. I am not going, and not even on principal- I just don't care. But face painting? Really? One woman claims that the books have saved her marriage. Please explain why Robert Pattinson is giving women this kind of emotional response? Maybe we should make them all watch "Little Ashes" and then see where we're all at.


I don't mean to seem like a buzzkill. All these women are my friends and are very nice people, but I just can't get behind this.

I hope I can piece together a coherent entry tonight. I confess, my pregnancy brain is doing no one in this house any favors lately. I just can't seem to get my mental act together. I've been feeling domestic lately and have attempted a few mediums in that art of homemaking, and have failed miserably. I tried baking pizza crust which didn't rise, then I did a craft project for the baby's room that looks terrible and tonight I tried making homemade butterscotch cookies and they tasted like ash. What is wrong with me? Can I not function as a person when I'm pregnant? There is no hope for me until the hormones that have taken my brain power hostage release their death grip!
MAB made a very clever suggestion, that for Christmas this year, the neighbors should get 'store bought' goodies just in case. I think it's probably wise advice. If you could see how many times I have to retype my words, you'd believe just how serious this is.


The baby's nursery decor has also been downgraded from Kick-A to Kick-B minus. The room is set to be dinosaur themed and I've been constructing a rock wall out of foam, wood, mache, and laquer, and spackle. It looks amazing, but because of the magnitude of the work, the husband has forbid me to go above and beyond on anything else. This is mostly because he's ended up having to do all the dirty work for my big idea because of the harmful chemicals. It's only fair. I was going to paint a gigantic jungle mural and waterfall to coordinate with the rock, but I've scaled back my idea. Just rocks and sky now, and cutesy, crafty dino decor (with the exception of the failed Papier- mâché project that will now have to be fixed). Anyway, this is boring to read I'm sure so I'll post pics when all is said and done. If I can actually make it work and not have it turn into a total catastrophe.

( The rest is just some ramblings and my thoughts on art and pop culture... )


Also, Jack and I have been enjoying our time together so much. He's been such an amazing little helper. I love this time I have with him before I share him with our awaited little one in February. By the way, six months along now, and getting more and more excited.

Our Halloween was fantastic this year. Treats for the neighbors:




Several families ended up coming to dinner at our house tonight and then we took all the kiddos trick-or-treating. My little one is the tiny Optimus Prime. We finished off the night with Nightmare Before Christmas, bedtime stories, and bed.


I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween. I love this Holiday!

Here's some pics of Our First Snow Day:







And a freaky snow ghost pic because it snowed in Halloween.



My favorite one of Jack.

And then Cole, Jack's best bud showed up and joined in.

Also,
Our preschool Halloween party today. With a pregnant cat. I know it's a lame costume, but it was last minute and I can't fit into the Little Red Riding Hood I was originally planning on.

And Optimus Prime trying out a cool pose.

Well, we're back from sunny Ensenada. Did I say sunny? I might be exaggerating. It was incredibly foggy and overcast the entire time. So my pale white flesh got zero color and we heard the fog horn blow once every minute (not an exaggeration). The cruise was okay. I'm not complaining, it was a free trip- but I'm happy we didn't pay for it.

(This is a towel creature, I think a frog, that was left on our bed by the cruise staff)

Everyone says cruising is the way to go when vacationing. I've talked to a few people since, one of whom went on this same cruise in June and they said we shouldn't base cruising on this particular cruise. If you like booze and food, then this might be the cruise for you. For us, we were soooo bored, and couldn't really lay out in the sun. Plus, everyone was really sea sick due to the poor weather.
( Trip Stuff... )

Today, I finished up art with the first grade, which went well. Too well actually, I had extra time left and had to improvise. Luckily, I had little Jack with me, who I utilized to help pass things out and that took longer.


In news I feel terrible about, Dal's family stayed at our house while we were gone to spend the weekend shopping. Dal's gma, who is a wonderful woman, left our hose on full blast and we just noticed last night. I'm sick about it, because I try to pretend I'm environmentally conscious, but what can you do? It was an accident. Nothing flooded, and we didn't notice because the hose was sitting by the edge of the fence that drains into a canal. I wonder how many gallons we wasted??? Ugh.


In other news, I'm reading an incredible book about gender inequality in the world. It has an idea I like- that if you give women more opportunities and education in the world, then things like poverty, slavery and terrorism will be reduced. Did you know that 2.7 billion people in this world live for under $2 a day? 2.7 BILLION! That's 40% of the world's population. Crazy stuff. And I complain about a free cruise! MAB and I have long been worried about the treatment of women in these cultures (as well as ours) and we've each committed ourselves to different causes. MAB is currently volunteering teaching creative writing at a women's prison. I should write more about that later, because it's incredible. I'm doing my part in volunteering and trying to teach children about the world outside of ours. I'm also doing a few things to give local young women out here more and better opportunities. More on that schtuff later. Each cause is small, but it feels nice to be doing something we believe in. Everyone should read Half The Sky, Turning Oppression Into Opportunity For Women Worldwide


In work news, I've been talking a bunch to Chad Rogers from Bravo's Million Dollar Listing lately. Today he asked me how I liked the show. Good thing I've started recording it since I first started talking to him. And, he's exactly on the phone like he is on the show.

Heading on my cruise to the Mexican Riveria tomorrow! So much to do, so much to do. I'll update with pics when we get back. We need a vacation so desperately bad!!! But first, preschool, art at the elementary, hair appointment, cleaning, the in-laws are showing up tonight and finish packing. Good grief, why are vacations so stressful?

Have a good weekend everyone. Love you!

It has bee a very productive weekend so far. The garage is cleaned out thanks to my husband, I put up the rest of Halloween, did some baking and cooking, and cleaned out the drawers and closets. We're painting the baby's room tonight! (Well, I'm not. Dallin is.) We're going to do a dinosaur themed room and I'll post pics when it's done.


I'd post a pic of the little on in my tummy, but I feel weird about having his netherbits all over the web, and it seems that in every photo, the evidence that he is male is prominent.


I will post a pic of our little evening last night. BYU game, corn maze and a late dinner. It was very fun. Jack had a blast at the corn maze! So did we. We think it's going to be our yearly October tradition.

This is the only pregnant picture I have of me (except for our family picture which were taken at three months along, so they don't really count). You can't really see my belly (sorry MAB), but we're going on a cruise in two weeks and I'll be sure to post some pics and you can see it then if you wish.


Also, I don't usually talk about work, but I had an interesting experience yesterday. I was on the phone with People magazine and Entertainment weekly all morning. They were having a bidding war over one photo. The photo was EXCLUSIVE and they wanted exclusive rights to it. I'll post the pic because I think it is adorable.

I don't think I can tell you how much the photo went for, but you could buy a car with it.
So that was an exciting morning. I only did this because the boss wasn't answering his phone. I don't normally negotiate prices. Sometimes, but not usually.


Boring entry. Sorry. Just an update.

I love this day. Jack and I have no preschool (because of UEA) for the rest of the week and it's lovely and raining outside and the house is clean. Jack and I have plans to hit a museum today or tomorrow. We'll see. We've been to every single dinosaur museum within 50 miles of our house at least twice this year, so we might do natural history or maybe the planetarium. Or maybe today we'll stay inside and put up the rest of the Halloween decorations on such a spooky day! We're just enjoying hanging out and I've got some bread going in the bread maker and it feels very cozy here.


Let me update on some changes, some big or small.
Yep, we're having a boy. We just found out Friday. I'll admit I worried I'd be disappointed because I was soooo convinced that we were having a girl. Dallin was too. I've been super sick and everything in this pregnancy has been different. With Jack it was smooth sailing, but on this one- sick every day, extremely moody, so tired, weird dreams, weird cravings, etc. We were sure this meant it was a girl. When the doctor told us it was a boy we were SHOCKED! And it made it so fun. I wasn't disappointed at all. I was ecstatic. Two Boys! What a fun family we are. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a girl, but somehow, this just seems right. I can't wait to meet this little guy who thinks kicking my bladder is the best way to pass the time. We are so excited. The only problem is we can't decide on a name. Anyone reading this have suggestions? Dallin LOVES the name Boston. I'm not sold on it. I feel like it's a little trendy (I know Jackson is too, but at least we have "Jack" in it, which is a classic name). I like old traditional names. Something literary maybe or biblical. I love Asher, because it's both, but Dallin thinks it sounds like a curse word. He's probably right.


We also got a new car. Our lease on our pilot was up and because SUV prices have dropped, it wasn't worth it for us to buy it. So we got this, instead. A 2005 VW Touareg.

Yay for my husband for finally getting a used car! And the gas mileage is better!


For Dal's work, things are changing. First, there is a small chance we might be moving to South-Eastern Idaho. I repeat, a SMALL chance. They don't have his company there and they want to start up a division and want Dallin to head it up. At least, he has first choice. He is very excited because it is his mother land, but we both have our reservations. We'll see, there's a lot that has to happen first before we start thinking seriously about it. Oh, and we'd probably live in Pocatello. :(


Also, his company has been pressuring him to do 'an overnighter.' If you know my husband, he has this thing about being away from us and doesn't want to do it. He travels to Heber every week and now they want him to go to Vernal one night a week. That means he would be gone overnight once a week. It would make us an extra $800 a week, but he doesn't want to do it. I'm not sure I want him to either. Once in a while isn't bad, but once a week? I'm not so sure. Again, we'll see.


So, those are the updates. I'm headed to go snuggle under a blanket and watch Scooby-Doo with the kiddo.

So, the RS Elementary Art Program officially started today. I have been stressing and stressing and it went smooth sailing.
( Background if you're bored... )
And it started today and it wasn't too bad. I'm exhausted though, but it's good. I've promised Dallin I would quit the private art classes until after the baby is born. I finished the last session in August and everyone thinks I'm starting up in October. I've done little to tell them otherwise, but a promise is a promise. And I'll be honest, this pregnancy has kicked my trash almost everyday so it might be good to let that one go. I'm not sure why I have to be so busy. Actually, I think I know. I'm nuts. If I sit still too long, my brain begins to digest itself in the most terrible of ways- I get overly upset about politics, I read too much philosophy and I want to go run off and chain myself to a pole somewhere for a good cause. It's good my body is making me slow down.


In other news, my little Jack has had a breakthrough of sorts today. For as absolutely stereotypical little boy as this little guy is, he has quite a time about getting his hands dirty. If his hands are sticky or muddy, he freaks. Today, he was helping me bake a cake and wanted to crack the eggs in the bowl. (Jason, if you're reading this, turn away now. Yes, the following story involved unborn chicken fetus, and I apologize my beloved vegan friend). Of course Jack's technique in doing so involves a fist crushing blow to the egg that sends the shell fragments straight into the bowl.
As I was fishing out the carnage, he thought it looked like fun and asked if he could put his hand in the eggs. I was surprised, but let him and he sat and played with the raw, slimy eggs for a while and.... he loved it! I am shocked, but happy for his little step towards progress. Progress towards what, I'm not so sure, but he didn't scream or cry when his hands were covered in goop. The thing was absolutely unsanitary, but the kid frosted the cake too and that involves things that to the childless, would make your stomach turn. It was fun and I had to write it to remember it.


Crazy these little things that children make seem so meaningful.


Who knows what I would miss out on it I were a full-time art teacher right now.


I love my little one. Also, we find out what the gender of our baby is tomorrow. Any guesses? I think I know! We'll see if I'm right....

Today I was ridiculously too emotional, so I'm going to update and show some pics instead.

Jack's Birthday Party in August.

A power ranger game:

And now, and I know it's early, but here is the beginning of what will be a series of the Halloween decorations of my house this year. We did a little decorating today. (Yes our house number has a triple digit evil number in it, and it was unintentionally captured here)

I'm desperately craving something new from Amy Tan. I'm pretty sure she's not my favorite author. Pretty sure. I'm dying to go to the library. And yes, I'm becoming a book snob, I don't want to purchase my books, I want to get them from the library. Maybe I'm the counterpart of a book snob? I love the smell, the feelings, the sounds, and the feeling I get at a library. Maybe I'm just craving the library, not Amy Tan. I did watch 7 Years in Tibet which might explain why I'm craving some Asian influences.


Can someone take me to somewhere in Asia? In the movie they call it, "A place rich with all the strange beauty of your nighttime dreams." I hope that's true. Someday I'll make it there.


I took Jack and two of his little buddies to the park today. I found a little obscure park between the border of Tooele and Stockton. It had ivy everywhere making little caves and pathways to explore. It was fun until the boys started playing with loose wires dangling from an old telephone pole. Paradise lost.


I'm also feeling wistful and romantic. I miss old friends.


I'm busting out the Halloween decorations this weekend. It's officially fall today and anyone who wants to dispute me, will have a witch's hex to deal with. My love for the holiday is a bit thick. The thought of the approaching fall has helped distract me from all the political nonsense I've been wrapped up in lately. For the record, I'm registered 'Independent' but the conservative movement in this country makes me want to shoot myself in the eyes. I'll post a video below that MAB showed me. I'm hormonal because I'm pregnant, so we'll blame that for the fact I wanted to sob like a spoiled toddler when I saw the video. I wish I could say that it was an overstated response, because I know it is a little inflated compared to the contents, but like I said, I'm pregnant. I get some credit for that.


What upsets me about the video is not that there are so many people protesting, or their political leanings. My problem is that is shows me how much ignorance there is out there. (And I'm not calling these people ignorant because we disagree, I'm calling them ignorant because they are so terribly misinformed). The video just shows me that ignorance always wins. What a bleak outlook to have, but challenge me on this.


Here's the video:

Sorry, I've been waxing political lately. So more politics from me. I did my only little rant on facebook today about people comparing Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, which is, utterly ridiculous. I'm a little touchy about this. For two reasons, partially because it's Oktoberfest season and my famous is insanely German, my mom and sis just returned from a two week stay in Germany, and I've been watching Band of Brothers.


Here's what I wrote:


"I have one thing to say to both my liberal and conservative friends out there: Regardless of your political leanings, please be fair and civil! I found a random blog today citing how many American Presidents have been compared to Adolf Hitler. While there are plenty of real holocausts in the world and terrible dictators currently in power, let's remember where we live and how good we have it!

http://www.brendan-nyhan.com/blog/2008/11/tracking-obama-hatred-hitler-comparisons.html

Also, let's respect the millions of people who really did suffer under Hitler's reign and not make unfair comparisons on either side! Vote and feel how you will, Perspective people, that's all I ask!"

Not that anyone does read this, but if you do, here's a small little lists on current holocausts in this world. To even compare what is going on in America to the things Hitler did, is offensive and appalling to me.


"Darfur (Sudanese Muslims annihilating Christians and various animists)


Congo (African genocidal free for all)


Tibet (cultural annihilation and ethnic cleansing by settling, by the Communist Party of China, first dishonorable mention.)


Falun Dafa (aka Falun Gong, spiritual/health sect, persecuted in horrific manner by the CPC, mention #2)


The Uighur people (Muslim ethnics in Western China. Ethnic cleansing, discrimination and the occasional massacre. Mention # 3 for the deeply repellant current regime of the great Chinese people, and of course we mustn't forget indirect blame for Darfur, by providing immunity to Khartoum for oil).


The Bahai Sect (persecuted in Iran, home to Holocaust denier mullah puppet Mahmoud Imadinnerjacket, who also has various human rights issues not yet reaching the plateau of systematic Crimes Against Humanity with ethnic Arabs, Kurds and some Azeris.)


And various South American indigenous people, of which to my shame I can recall not a single name, but they're there and being killed nonetheless.


Not yet in the big leagues, not on the verge, but inching there all the time:


Palestinians

Muslims and others in Southern Russia. "

Also, I thought Obama's speech tonight seemed perfectly reasonable. The Healthcare debate in this country is a joke. I'm tired and worn down by my friends and neighbors out here. I admit I listen to Hannity and Glenn Beck, (I don't know why, because I get totally mad). I've only heard one good argument against socialized health care from someone I've discussed it with(which btw, is not what Obama is advocating for in my opinion). The rest of the arguments (and there have been many) are literally the regurgitated rhetoric almost verbatim from Hannity and Beck. It's very disappointing.


So how about we take care our own American Neighbors and friends and work to stop physical, cultural, spiritual genocide, and get on with our lives....

But there it stings for evermore,
The soul that must endure it.




Happy Birthday Mab.

I was spoiled this Mother's Day.
( Click if you want to see what I got... )


I plan on writing a very philosophical and thought out entry soon, I just haven't found the time. I like to document these fun little family things for memory.


American Experience is currently a five part series on 'We Shall Remain' the History of the American Indians, and it is fascinating. It's a repeat tonight, but I love it like a child. A perfect way to end a great weekend.

Hey Internet Space.

Life is busy and not too bad. Fresh lamentations and deeper afflictions have no place on a beautiful day like this! It would help if I didn't change back into my jammies today. I can be frumpy housewife today if I want. I exercised this morning.

Today we did Mother's Day gifts for preschool. I'll post a few of the cute pics that turned out well. Just a few. I took these of the little ones and had the kiddos decorate frames for their parents with jewels and pink and brown tissue paper. They turned out pretty nicely.
See?

Some Shadows yes, but when you have to pump 12 kids through the line, composition becomes priority and all else falls poor and crushed by the wayside.


Also, here some pics of our zoo field trip. Notice the most handsome of the group; my little Jack. Slayer of Giants.

Jack and his best buddies:

These are my old neighbors, whose daughter is in preschool.

I am listening to Lily Allen like it's my job. I can't help it. She's just so darn cheeky. I've been bred at a disadvantage for music in my youth, and for some reason, I can't help but love female vocalists right now. It's not by any wonderful accident that her music found me. In truth, I sought her out after all the hype and yes, she lives up to every inch of it. Kate Nash too, but only for her accent.


Mab is coming in a week and we're getting chemical peels and facials. I'm nervous. I hope my face doesn't explode or burn off.


Jack is outside with his pals and I can hear them storming up the stairs for some popsicles! I'd better get the rations ready!

This week has been a bad one for us. I won't go into much detail, but I will tell you about our day and perhaps it can portray in a small part as a symbol for this week. Suck it Mab, you jinxed it.





( Lots of Pics Post )

I told you I would post pictures, and I will not fail you this time.
Our little conference weekend:

Jack's first picture he's successfully taken with a camera. I like it because it's over exposed and hides my wrinkles! Yes, I'm wearing a hairpiece. It is for Buzzfoto. Don't ask.

We headed out into the great wilderness that is Skull Valley. We brought Jack's best little buddy Spencer with us. I love these little ones.

We drove through lots of mud and the pilot held on pretty well. Our car:

My boys (and an orphan neighbor/jack's best friend)

Finding treasure (read: old shotgun shells and rusty nails.):

Heading to Horseshoe Springs, it's a hidden place most people don't know about. Blink and you'll miss it. But I have an eye disorder and can't blink, so I know where it is.

We've got more records than the KGB

With two little curious boys on our trip, you can understand why this was a golden find:

Memorial at Iosepa, a ghost town:

A playground in Rush Valley. I stayed in the car because I didn't need the extra radiation:

It's an historic day in our household! We all slept in until almost 11:00!!! That never happens. This must be of course because it's conference weekend, and we should have been up an hour ago!

Thank the stars for DVR!

We're taking a little trip to Lehman Caves, Nevada! It's a tradition of our on conference to do a road trip and listen in the car. Lehman is about four hours away and we love it!

I'll let you know how it goes. My favorite part? Exploring all the old ghost town along the way! Spooks and spirits, here we come!

Little bird with broken wing, you cannot fly, but can you sing?

So if you haven't heard, it's official! We're adopting! That is the most exciting news I have to offer this little world right now and I think it is so fantastic. All the pain and other disappointments get seems wiped away in this new hope! I'll keep you posted as the news comes.

We just persevered another insane weekend with Dallin's family all staying with us. One more down, thousands more to go I'm sure. Luckily for us, 17 people have cleared out of our abode and we are left to our own devices again. Unless you want to hear about how we shopped all day, I'll save you the pain that I myself alone, had to endure. I did get some floral arrangements for my house that I need to put together better, so all is not lost.




In other news, I've had a most productive day. The Domestic Goddess in me has been resurrected and I have been baking and cookin' up a storm!

I've got 9 grain Honey Wheat Bread baking and the house smells delicious. I also have invented the best version of Baked Potato Soup this side of TGI Fridays. Actually, I have no idea who serves the stuff, but we are, in our household tonight!


I had to take pics I'm so proud. I took raw potatoes and blended it with white wine as a base for my roux. Then I sautéed potato slices with onion in bacon fat until they browned and added the mixture.


With a little cream, chives, spices, cheeses and more bacon, I've developed the best soup ever. That is right, I'm bold enough to make the claim. Don't you wish you could try it?


Be glad you didn't because you'd be working out for a week to burn this stuff off. Plus this picture looks a little too coagulated. I swear it tastes better than it looks.....

In other news, I am really excited to announce that we are getting our family portrait taking tomorrow by a friend of mine. He is not only just a photographer, he's an artist. Both he and I are retiring our artistic licenses a little bit and making the shots more conservative so that we can use them for our adoption profile. I will post them as soon as I get them. Be prepared to be blown away.... or at least breezed a little.


We dyed Easter eggs for our Preschool Easter Party today. The children love it every time, but are still confused from Saint Patrick's day. In March, I told my dear little ones that we were going to 'set a trap' for Leprechauns and see if we could catch one. They were so excited with the idea (but the joke was on us, those tricky little Irishmen stole the bait and escaped. Thwarted every year!) that they cannot give up the idea. Today, the children were concerned that if they left their eggs out, they would have them stolen by Leprechauns. And by children, I mostly mean Jack. He is obsessed. The argument that Leprechauns only appear on St. Patrick's day holds no merit and today they 'stole his shoes.' That is what I get for trying to instill imagination within my child. It's a tricky balance- creativity and insanity/dishonesty.

Here are me and Jack doing chores (putting the dishes away). I think the Health Department would frown at our method.



Jack was so excited by preschool, I had to re-hide all of his candy. Here's Jack looking for eggs (I think there's a Leprechaun in this picture moving about...):






And I'll end on the show that makes my nights a little warmer. "Important Things With Demtri Martin." I love when people think about things. Here's a clip. Enjoy:

Hey All,

Sorry I've been away a while. As you know, I'm super busy. I've been working tons with preschool, buzzfoto, art class, and young womens, plus being a mom and wife. We just got back from California so I'll share some photos.

Long ago, I've moved away from the blog at Buzzfoto, (MAB runs the whole show over there) and I do production mostly which means I edit, tag and caption the photos before they are sent out to the magazines. MAB and I also do other stuff with the photographers, the Magazine editors, and the PR. It's very fun and exciting.


When we went to Disneyland, we spent a day meeting up with the owners of Buzzfoto (Brad Elterman and Henry Flores) They took us to the trendy Newsroom Cafe on Robertson Blvd. where all the Celebs eat and shop. Henry told me that we wanted to draw other paps out so he told me to put my hat on and walk in and out of the shops and keep my face covered and he would start taking my picture. He did and sure enough, other guys came out of the wood work, trying to figure out if I was famous or not. It was very funny.

We walked into Chanel, Maxfield, Kitson, the Ivy and others and because our photos were being taken, the employees of the stores were so cool to us. It is the only time in my life ever, that I'll be able to say I was walking down Robertson being followed by the paparazzi!

We also did an interview with an Austrian Radio and Television crew which was fun.

I'll post my fun Disneyland pics when I get them uploaded.
