My Valentine!

This is my Valentine. 

 He is one incredible guy.  

He gets up every morning and goes to work and continues to come home to all of us crazies.  Upon his arrival every small person is racing for the first hug.  It never ceases to make me smile.  He lives for us and is an incredible father to all five of his kids.  He is way more fun than I am. He also coaches and I am continually impressed with his willingness to get these kids to reach their highest potential. 

This man also takes time to kiss me goodbye and hello without fail.  He gives the best hugs in the world and I know there is safety in his arms.  Besides all of this wonderful stuff he does I love him with everything in me.  He puts up with plenty of emotion from neck of the woods, and the best part of it all it he loves me back.  I would be lost without this man.  He is my love for forever.  And that is a good thing, because forever is a long time.

I love you Mr. Jones!

Baseball of course!  My family has a slight obsession with it...




                                                                          Hot Chocolate!  I drink all too often.  It has a calming effect on me.  Before bed, really anytime even in the summer....

My personal favorite add in is canned milk. It is heaven! 

I LOVE motivational/inspirational quotes!

and clearly President Hinckley said most of them! 

Dancing!!!  

I miss it soooo much! 

But sometimes I get to go 

Crazy like around the kitchen with the music as loud as it will go.

Dancing!!!

And finally with no picture attached 

COUNTRY MUSIC

I will always love it.  Give me a little Chris Ledoux or George Straight and I will sing out loud to almost every song.  The old stuff is the good stuff! 

Fourth, Fifth, Six and Seventh and Eighth

 The color green is my most favorite color in the whole world!

 Braids, they save my hair daily

 Red hair!  Particularly this one.  It just glows so brilliantly in the sun! 

Little green books!  I have a small collection.

Food!

What can I say I am an avid food fan..  I love to cook.  Will taste almost anything, except sushi we are not friends...  So in light of a famous food day, The Super Bowl, we must talk about food.

Search Ponder and Pray

 This next thing I love is dear to me.  It has kept my head on straight through many a tough times.  Between reading my scriptures and prayer, as a mother I would fail miserably.  I need help!  I know I must do my best everyday, and the Lord will pick up the rest if I just ask.  He is my strength in hard times.  My confident and companion on a daily basis.  He is always with me.  It prepares me for the day and makes is go smoother.  With Gods help I can accomplish anything if it be his will.  I am grateful everyday for him and the words I get to read.  My scriptures are my guiding light back to him, instruction on how to return home to his loving arms one day.  The Lord loves each of us so much. He left us with prophets to lead and guide us.  Scripture to teach us and help us draw closer to him.  My testimony is what keeps me steady on rough days.  I am a Mormon!    I Know it!  I live it! and I love it! 

The things I LOVE!

A few days ago I wrote a list of a few of the things I love.  I am not good at sticking with projects that are long and time consuming.  So I thought I might be able to do this one since it is the shortest month of the year,  I am aching to take pictures, and well being positive is really what I was going for.  January sucked the life out of me so focusing on the things that I love I thought might make me smile a little.  So to start things off I am listing one of the many things I LOVE....

EXERCISE,

at least it was one my favorite things up until yesterday.  I decided that I was tiered of feeling crummy after have baby number 5.  The bod just doesn't want to bounce back as fast as it used to.  So I pulled out a p90x video.  Today my back hurts and my arms hurt and I felt pretty lame when I just couldn't bend that way and tipped over during warm ups.  But today the sun was shining and who doesn't want a little vitamin D...  So I started to run pushing my 2 year old in a stroller and came to find it is hard work.  I was a little slower than normal and sweat came a little faster.  But I am determined to not look 4 months pregnant for the rest of my life.  So today I LOVE exercise...
