That ye love one another as I have loved you." - John 13:34. Every time the girls started yelling at each other I asked Olivia to read the scripture to Sophie. The scripture reading diffused the situation and brought peace to our home. Mission accomplished! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcudAf5L-Le0_XvH0j359ZN2ie80jsCMTohhFv2bNSiN-WlBeGYDnb-A2kgYDKm-DDqnuiWsR1QJeFFl4IHuufReXUbHyMxw29DIlvP7G2anoPuqM1J8kD8IrXF1yuBtqr8JWr9rGgVFA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-06-23+at+9.43.02+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcudAf5L-Le0_XvH0j359ZN2ie80jsCMTohhFv2bNSiN-WlBeGYDnb-A2kgYDKm-DDqnuiWsR1QJeFFl4IHuufReXUbHyMxw29DIlvP7G2anoPuqM1J8kD8IrXF1yuBtqr8JWr9rGgVFA/s320/Screen+Shot+2013-06-23+at+9.43.02+PM.png" /></a></div>Lohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414214027302366175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808294342336197213.post-63765406539578136132012-10-03T10:03:00.000-07:002012-10-03T10:03:43.617-07:00What I'm loving Wednesday...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm desperately trying to mask the flavor and texture. So far no luck. Any suggestions...
I'm loving that it's <a href="http://www.lds.org">Conference</a> weekend. I can't wait to lounge in my pajamas all day, eat pumpkin pancakes and soak up the words of church leaders.

This is my first link up to a super cute, new fave blog, <a href="http://comeoneileen86.blogspot.com/"><b>Adventures of Newlyweds</b></a>. I'm totes excited about it!
Dear OBAGI, I know the end result will be beautiful but does the redness, itchiness and peeling of skin ever stop. I mean seriously - how much skin can a girl lose? Dear Tooth Fairy, Olivia is about to loose her first tooth! How much does a first tooth earn her? Dear Right Hip Flexor, I really wish you would stop buggin! I would love to get running again and not feel like my body is falling apart. Dear Elder Holland, you pull at my heart strings. Oh, how I love and cherish your words. "Don't you quit. You keep walking, you keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead," - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. Dear Frozen Yogurt, summer has come to an end. I think it is time for us to part ways. See you next year. Dear Husband, I will miss you every night this weekend <3.

I need to learn better time management skills or I need about 8 more hours in my day.
We recently had our family pictures taken by the wonderful Kari Sikorski. I thought I would take the opportunity to share a few of these pictures and a little update of our family. Here are some of my favorite from our session...

This is Sophie, my preschooler. She is sugar and spice and everything nice. I'm amazed by this girl. Life comes so easy to her. She loves to dance with the girly girls and kick the soccer ball with the rough and tough. She loves school and learning. Her middle name in Chinese means BRILLIANT and she definitely lives up to it.

And then there is my first grader. Everything that seems to come so easy to Sophie is tough for Olivia. She has to work hard at school and dance just to get by. She's my spitfire and drama queen all wrapped into one. I love how strong she is. Nobody is going to take her down. Life with Olivia can be hard sometimes but I wouldn't trade her for anything. She's going to be GREAT! She's to stubborn not to be.
These pics make me smile big...

And then there is my amazing hubby. I'd be lost without this guy. He takes a lot of flack living with three girls. I'm amazed by how strong he is. Even when life isn't what he quite thought it would be and times get tough he sticks it out. He doesn't give up. We're so proud of him.

Against my better judgment I've become a runner of sorts. I've always done a little running on the side. It's good for you and I'm always my leanest when I run. However recently I've been hitting the pavement and trails hard. I've been working to get faster and I do believe it's happened. Two years ago I ran my first half marathon and this Saturday I shaved a whoppin' 30 minutes off my time. When I began I was a really slow runner. Now I'm craving more miles and a faster time. Oye! I need a sport that's easier on my body. My cute running partners and I are already scoping out our next half. I've caught the bug.

It's been too long and so much has happened in the interim. First things first...I stopped blogging because life became overwhelming ad something had to give. Now that sounds a bit more dramatic than it really is but it's how I feel. Life is like that sometimes and you have to choose what is most important in life. That brings me to FAMILY! How I love mine so. They stuck with me this year and we survived. We survived buying a new house, Olivia's first year of kindergarten, my first year of teaching full time, my math endorsement, my master's in education and double tonsillectomy's. It's been a wild ride but we're still standing. I've learned that perhaps giving up on blogging was a mistake. I have all these memories and no record of them. I'll not make that mistake again. Here's the last six months in photos:
In April I ran the SoCal Ragnar with some of the most amazing ladies.

I'd go anywhere with these ladies. Next up is Porter's half marathon and then the Red Rock Relay in Zion. We're crazy like that.
In May Olivia turned 6 and I graduated from SUU with my master's in Education.

It's now August and we're are preparing to return to school. I'll be teaching full time again this year. Olivia will be in first grade and Sophie will be in her last year of preschool. My amazing husband is still amazing and a wonderful provider. I'd be lost without him and I'm afraid I do a horrible job of communicating just how much I need him.

We had so much fun creating this birthday party and Sophie enjoyed it with all her girl friends (no boys were allowed, even Ray disappeared for a couple of hours). <br />
I'm already thinking of a theme for Livie's 6th birthday party.Lohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414214027302366175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808294342336197213.post-10883539089880382492012-02-01T17:36:00.000-08:002012-02-01T17:36:15.225-08:00What I'm Loving Wednesday...Finally! I'm back in the blogging world. It's been a while and I've missed it. I decided to jump back in with sharing what I love this Wednesday. P.S - I'm writing this post while sitting in my Masters class on 21st Century Learners. It's not the instructor. He is quite engaging. I just know if I don't do something I'm not going to make it until 7. So here it is: <a href="http://www.littledaisymay.blogspot.com">What I'm loving this Wednesday<br />

I'm loving Valentine's Day. Sophie's 4 birthday falls around Valentine's day and this year we are having a Valentine's day themed party. I promised the hubby I would do it for a 100 dollars or less. More on that later. <br />

I'm loving my sweet Sophie. On Friday we found out that she was severely allergic to tree nuts. We've had a fun weekend of label reading, epi pens, and lots of shots. She was a trooper. They poked her back over 20 times. All I could do was hold her tight while she wailed into my chest. <br />

I'm loving the Utah Jazz. Yeah baby. So happy they haven't been the epic fail everyone predicted...so far. We usually go to at least 3 games a season. We've been spoiled with box seats and lower, lower bowl seats. Haven't made it yet but can't wait. <br />

I'm loving my So Cal Ragnar team. The day is etching closer and closer. I can't wait. We are in the process of choosing a name. Here are our top 3: <br />
- Run like a mother<br />
- CHX doing TRX<br />
- I still hate running.<br />
What's your vote?<br />

I'm loving the Hunger Games. The count down is on. 50 days to go. My favorite book was part 2. I'm a sucker for the love story and I thought book 2 told it best. <br />

Last year when Sophie made it to the big stage she cried through the entire performance. Not tonight. She performed like the "ham" we know she is. Liv also did a wonderful job. This was her first dance recital. It's been so much fun watching her grow into a dancer. <br />
<br />
Here are the girls with the family. We are so fortunate to have them so close. We appreciate all their love and support. <br />

<br />
Today I am thankful for Ray (the hubby). This morning we got into an argument. It was trivial, pointless, and a waste of our time as are many of our arguments. Ray and I are both stubborn people, neither of us like to consent. Ray is a snake (Chinese Zodiac sign) and his sign clearly states avoid the boar. While guess who is a boar? Yours truly. Lucky for me Ray's stubborn nature swayed his favor of the "boar". During our argument I of course stated all the things he does wrong and all the things that annoy me about him. I know, not the best wife. Then after things had cooled and I realized I was being completely irrational, I started to list all the things I appreciate and love about him. And as always the good out weighs the bad. Ray being the compassionate husband he is, forgave me for my outburst and nuttiness. We are still happily married and I am thankful to have him as my eternal companion. <br />
<br />

Just a few things from my list - <br />
<br />
When the girls were babies and in that not sleeping through the night stage - Ray was always the first to get out of bed and snuggle them. He rarely woke me unless they needed to feed. How lucky am I. <br />
<br />
Ray is the cook in the family. I seldom cook. <br />
<br />
Ray works 60-70 hour weeks. He never complains. He's never to tired to get up in the middle of the night if one of the girls need something. He's never to tired to give a bath, brush teeth, make a lunch or do some laundry. (FYI - I am not a horrible homemaker just a very busy teacher and student)<br />
<br />
Ray loves his girls. All of us. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful man in our lives. I am thankful I get to call him mine. <br />

Today I'm giving thanks for Pinterest. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius. I once read a pin that went something like this (not an exact quote) - "Thank you pinterest for making me feel so crafty when all I've done is sit in front of my computer." Ha - how true are these words. <br />
<br />
Pinterest definitely inspires me but will I ever become the crafty, baker, designer, person my boards elude to. Probably not but a girl can dream. <br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite pins this week...<br />

True to my word I'm posting another day of gratitude. My family and I have been at the hospital all night visiting Tai Po (Chinese for great-grandmother). Things don't look good and we wanted to say our goodbyes. My sweet girls who are 3 and 5 held Tai Po's hand and told her - I love you. I'm not quite sure how to explain what's happening. Any suggestions on how that conversation should go?<br />
<br />
So this evening I am grateful for family. I am grateful for my strong and beautiful mother in-law and my cranky but very lovable father in-law. <br />

I am thankful for all Ray's uncles, aunts, and cousins who have become my family too. I believe there is strength in numbers and I am grateful they have each other. I am grateful that my girls are surrounded by family who love and care for them. I am thankful to be a part of this family!<br />

I've been on a "woe is me" streak lately and I need an attitude adjustment. There are 10 days until Thanksgiving and each day I am going to post something or "somethings" I am grateful for. <br />
<br />
Day 1 - <br />
Today I am grateful for my body. I was at the gym this evening and I got to thinking my body is not perfect, far from it. But I love it. I love all my imperfections. I love that I'm striving for more but if I never get there I'm happy with me, now. I'm grateful that I have legs that can run and knees that will get me through a half marathon, if nothing more. <br />
<br />

I am happy with my arms, my favorite part of my body. I love strength training and light weight lifting and I don't feel boyish doing it. I'm strong and I am thankful for that. I am even thankful for my stretch marks. I have them all over my tummy. They are a daily reminder that I created life. <br />

My body is healthy and strong and I couldn't ask for more. I am thankful for each workout and that it reminds me how far I've come in my life.<br />

Giving thanks for all the big and little things in my life!Lohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414214027302366175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808294342336197213.post-36366047097934182682011-11-09T20:20:00.000-08:002011-11-09T20:20:57.962-08:00What I'm Loving Wednesday!Awww...is it Wednesday? I've lost track of time and the days are starting to run together. I've got no time for blogging. My life is in complete and utter chaos. I'm losing my grip on reality. This week I entertained the idea of moving to another grade. I teach kindergarten and I am just so fed up with the lack of time and resources available. Now it is true I'm coming off parent-teacher conference week (45 conferences for me) and this rant is the result of exhaustion. Did I also mention I am working on my Masters in Education and a math endorsement. I have two beautiful daughters, 5 and 3, who also demand a lot of my time. We have a new home (a lot of it still in boxes) and a wonderfully supportive husband, who just happens to work 60-70 hour weeks. I do believe I bit off more than I could chew this year. I'm counting down the days til summer vacation, only about 120 more to go:) <br />
<br />
Anyhow I've decided to link up with <a href="http://littledaisymay.blogspot.com">This Kind of Love</a> to share what I'm loving this Wednesday (because I can find the good in my crazy mixed-up life).<br />

I'm loving my new home. It may still be in boxes but it's mine and only a 5 minute drive to Olivia's school and a 10 minute drive to work. No freeway time required!<br />
<br />
I'm loving this very sweet and dear woman. She is affectionately known in our family as Tai Po (great-grand mother in Chinese). She had a stroke on Sunday and has been in and out of conscience since then. She is in our prayers.<br />

I'm loving everything about our new home. Especially our new kitchen. If you know me you know I'm not the cooking type. However, I've decided to make an effort to become a better homemaker.

I'm loving this new table we found from ikea. The top of the table has 4 squares where you can put pictures or books in. We splurged on it for the new home. <br />

I'm loving that Olivia wants to read to me every night. She's learning so much in kindergarten and I'm so proud of her. <br />
<br />
I'm loving that graduation has been set for May 8th. In just a few months I will have a Master's degree in Education. Now if I can just last!<br />
<br />
As always I'm loving my beautifully adorable family!<br />

<br />
I'm loving our almost new home. If all goes well we will be closing the first week in October. This house is perfect for our family. Everything has been remolded. I don't have to do a single thing...it's a wonderful feeling. <br />

This one was hard for me. I couldn't think of two songs that I totally completely loved. Music is very important to me, it's one of my nine loves. I can't survive without it. I wouldn't say I really have a type either. I love it all. So I decided to choose two of my new favorite songs. <br />
<br />
1. Adele - Someone like you. If you haven't heard this song, where have you been? It's amazing. She is amazing. My little girls love it too. <br />
<br />
2. Matt Nathanson - Faster. I'm addicted to this song. Love it!<br />
<br />

Here they are, my 3 Movies.<br />
<br />
1. Dances With Wolves - Laugh if you must but this is my all time favorite movie. I'm a sucker for love stories and this one just does it for me. <br />
<br />
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Who doesn't love this one? A classic must see for every generation.<br />
<br />
3. Lion King - This is my favorite Disney movie. I'm thrilled it's coming back to the theaters. The girls and I are planning to see it. <br />
<br />
This is a strange mix of movies but they are some of my favorites. I'm not sure what this says about me :)<br />

Today was Olivia's first official day of kindergarten. She did great and I did ok. The tears didn't start falling until I was back in the car after walking her to class. She was so excited after school to share all the wonderful things she did and learned. Her teacher gave each of the students a stuffed bear. Their homework was to name their bear and fill out an information sheet about it. The bear will be kept at school and used for quiet times (she's in an all day K) and story time. Olivia named her bear Cupcake. She's already loving school and can't wait to go back tomorrow. <br />

I will eventually get through this. Anyhow, here are my 5 Foods. <br />
<br />
1 - Anything Mexican. It's what I was raised on. It's my comfort food and it reminds me of home. My favorite memory is of grandma making fresh tortillas every Sunday morning. Delicious!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2FVvnkB-xaNGmA2pxXDE95hn7zVBOizbugAluIll3nrW5NwLIw-lqBCqS2fY-440mD9Ek3FTQeqGLnHatsRtuiupI0tJnicjw_8mo3B9_SmLWEjuya1HsCCQOEiFIDv4qZUBoz2z_dw/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-09-07+at+9.34.29+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="265" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2FVvnkB-xaNGmA2pxXDE95hn7zVBOizbugAluIll3nrW5NwLIw-lqBCqS2fY-440mD9Ek3FTQeqGLnHatsRtuiupI0tJnicjw_8mo3B9_SmLWEjuya1HsCCQOEiFIDv4qZUBoz2z_dw/s400/Screen+shot+2011-09-07+at+9.34.29+PM.png" /></a></div><br />
2. French Fries - I'm a serious french fry junkie. My favorite are sweet potato fries but really I'll eat any kind. I try to limit myself because obviously I don't want to be 500 pounds. I would love for someone to invent a "diet" french fry with no calories or fat. A girl can dream. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsD28n-VAwPCzznFjY-iwp3B31gUhoOd8cgAStHGc-aBCq1PQOs7BFRwuNscKCgdAtBE_zapraKJThjCKZKBol2ElA2yJofKFsImsSaQb_P-jsB4mnRKSFndle5W8snE5RgOF3_KwZNjk/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-09-07+at+9.31.17+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="264" width="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsD28n-VAwPCzznFjY-iwp3B31gUhoOd8cgAStHGc-aBCq1PQOs7BFRwuNscKCgdAtBE_zapraKJThjCKZKBol2ElA2yJofKFsImsSaQb_P-jsB4mnRKSFndle5W8snE5RgOF3_KwZNjk/s400/Screen+shot+2011-09-07+at+9.31.17+PM.png" /></a></div><br />
3. Protein Shakes - I guess this could fall into the category of drinks but it's the staple of my diet, so it's going to be a food for the purposes of this post. I have at least one protein shake a day usually after a workout. Most of the time I just add water but if I need the extra calories or I drink it for breakfast I add milk. It's a required taste and took me a while to get there but now I can't live without it. <br />
<br />
4. Ice Cream - Another serious addiction. My favorite flavor can be found at our local BYU creamery, it's Graham Canyon. I once waited in line for 1/2 hour just to get a graham canyon shake. It was worth every bite. I'm also a fan of Cold Stone. Side note - Cold Stone's World Largest Ice cream Social is September 27th from 5-8. You can receive a free "sprinkled with wishes" creation. <br />

5. Subway - Let's just say I have a Subway card and I frequently receive free sandwiches. <br />
<br />

This is a mix of places I've been and want to go. <br />
<br />
1. Sea World - corny I know but I love this place more than Disney Land. The girls also love this place so it makes it extra special for us. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkdvjXu5VbVvQL-m_atHvzcyhlbs3FLht5Z5QG6pbyiFfaBHaYMrFzn8yCo4HCWGrjvUtNpYQdnsFVfavbhWFltT69jxpET4kmi3j26Bii__IlFfBV0ZJCDagbs4oNorAADumqzqW3U4/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-09-05+at+5.51.09+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="293" width="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkdvjXu5VbVvQL-m_atHvzcyhlbs3FLht5Z5QG6pbyiFfaBHaYMrFzn8yCo4HCWGrjvUtNpYQdnsFVfavbhWFltT69jxpET4kmi3j26Bii__IlFfBV0ZJCDagbs4oNorAADumqzqW3U4/s400/Screen+shot+2011-09-05+at+5.51.09+PM.png" /></a></div><br />
2. California - There are so many reasons I love this place. It's home. It's where I grew up. It has everything including the beach.<br />
<br />

3. Home - We are in the process of buying a new home and I can't wait. I am so excited to have a new place for our live family to live and call home again. <br />
<br />

4. Hong Kong - This is where Ray was born and raised. When the girls are a little older we want to take a family vacation. I can't wait to share in all the culture this place will offer. <br />
<br />

5. Italy - I've never been but this is a place I would love to visit someday. Ray went on an all expenses paid vacation to Italy through work. Sophie was about 3 months old and I didn't feel comfortable leaving her for 2 weeks. Nor did I want to tote her all over Italy. Ray took his dad instead. They had a wonderful time and Ray promised he would take me back one day. <br />

6. New York - I can't wait to visit this place. The hubby and I are planning a trip. It might be put on hold though if we buy a new house. <br />
