Day 29- What I want to do before I die

I want 3 vacations....
 A Cruise
to go to Australia
And a Helicopter ride in Hawaii 
One last thing I want to do before I die is to find out more about Hemi's dad/my kids grandpa. Hemi never knew his father. He met him when he was 2 and 21. All I know about him is he's Samoan and Hemi is named after him. Hemi says he looks like his dad. I want to see a picture of him and be able to show my kids a picture of their grandpa. I also want to find out what he died from.  This task seems so easy but the 2 times I've been to N.Z. I try to find these questions out but no one ever seems to know the answers to them.

Day 28- Hopes, Plans and Dreams for the next 365 days

To start we are buying a Minivan tomorrow, we decided on a 2004 Mazda MPV.

We hope to keep up our savings for a single family house and for Hemi to be 1/2 way done with his Bachelors.

We also have planned to take a few stay cations. Maybe to Park City,










St. George

and Bear Lake.

Day 27 A phote of someone I couldn't live with out

This one is so hard for me. I have been thinking about this for a long time. Not because I can't think of anyone, but because I have too many people in my life that make it worthwhile. First I have to say...
 Hemi, He is such a great husband and father. We have a blast together.
Then there are my kids... Hannah, Houston and Adelaide
I never knew my heart could hold so much love until I had my kids and somehow my heart keeps growing because each child I have I feel just as much love for her/him as I do for every single one of them. I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose one.
Then there is the rest of my family, if I didn't have them in my life my life wouldn't be complete.
My mom and I are as close as it gets. My dad is the best example in my life.
My brother Amanee he doesn't come around too often but when he does, it makes our family feel whole.
Dallin, Grisel and Rebekah, Dallin and I have been super close all our lives. Then he married the sweetest girl Girsle and the two of them  have the cutest little baby Rebekah.

Spencer and Lindsey, Spencer loves to play around and Lindsey is such a fun person to be around.
 Then there is Kaycee, she is not only my sister but one of my best friends. She married Robby who everyone gets along with. They have three dang cute kids. Abbey, Jaden and Brigham (who is missing in the picture) Her kids and  my kids are best friends.
Then there is Tawni,she the peace maker of the family. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
These people are who make my life. I could NOT live with out my family.

Day 26- A Photo of Where I Live

I LOVE living in Herriman! It is perfect for me. Its not too middle of no where (anymore) and its not the city (yet) It's new enough that the homes are nice and kept up. I love living right next to mountains and a 10 minute drive to Rose Canyon. We are high enough up that we have a great view of Salt Lake and can see 3 temples. On my drive to my parent's house (in Rose Canyon) I can see deer almost every day. I have lived in Herriman for 16ish years and still don't get sick of the deer. (Unless I hit them with my car)
In this picture if you look close you can see the Oquirrh Mountain temple and the Jordan River.
I also love the view we have of the Oquirrh Mountains and Copper mines.
(I don't have any pictures so I had to find these off the Internet but it gives you an idea)

Day 25 Worst Habit

I bite my cuticles. The worst is when I am in public such as church and I find my self biting them. I bet people look at me and think "Gross I am not shaking your hand anymore".  So I should really stop.

Day 24 A Recipe

Potato Skins
6 small baking potatoes
2 Table spoons butter, melted
2 tsp. grilled steak seasoning or seasoned salt
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup sour cream

Lightly grease outside of potatoes, cut small slit in top and bake at 425 F. for 45 minutes or until soft. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Cut open potato lengthwise and scoop out cooked potato, leaving a very thin layer of potato interior. Brush outside and inside with melted butter. Sprinkle inside with steak seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 8 minutes or until crisp and bubbly. Fill with cheddar cheese and bacon. Bake 3 min. or until cheese is melted. Top each with sour cream. Its best if eaten right away.
