Tavis "Tid Bits"

Last Saturday while I was at the Salon and NAte was running some appointments....My Inlaws had Hailey and Tavis. Since I had Broken their 20 year old washer with my 2 sheets, one comforter, one small blanket and a couple of pillow shams...they needed to go look at new washers!! the Brave souls took Tavis and Hailey to the store with them. When I got home that evening My Father in law told me a funny little Tavis Tid Bit: " well, the kids did great at the store! Tavis really likes the BIG SCREEN TV's" he was pretending to drive with Batman. It was hard to pry him from it (typical male) but we had to go a few floors up to get to the washers. So we all piled into the elevator and as the doors closed he got all excited about the movement up, he stood right by the doors facing them when the door had closed and was in the same spot when they opened a few floors up. when they opened and looked out onto the new floor he looked up at me while shrugging his little shoulders and asked with a very confused look on his face...WHAT HAPPENED?????"


I didn't get it at first and then I couldn't stop laughing. all the merchandise had changed from one floor to the other and he was sooo confused why it had changed!
Its great to really make yourself look through you child's eyes....its full of suprises and change, new adventures and love!!

Alot as happened.....

OKAY OKAY...I will get you all updated on my life!!! first things first...I GRADUATED!!! YEA and not only that...i actually passed both my written and practical the first time!! guess the 2000 endless hours at taylor andrews did something afterall. My last day was Wednesday June something I can't remember but I still had the Hair show to do which was June 26th so it was the wednesday before that. Anyhow. HAIR SHOW...SOOOO much fun,and a little bit of DRAMA! what can you expect when you get so many girlz together...but thats not really the reason for the Drama cuz my group was "off the chain" I loved my group we worked well together. therefore our segment of the hair show the "brittany speirs" segment was simply the BEST!! So i have lots of pictures to show..someday soon. Brittany griego mullford my best friend of 12 years was AMAZING!!! I did her hair in the biggest fro you have ever seen!!! Okay, then the 28th I did a Bridal show at the gateway. My very first one (great oppurtunity) only problem..I was the only hair dresser to show up and so I had 8 updos to do in an hour and a half!! no problem right? well I rocked it..even though some of the models were a bit difficult to work with (bitchy high maitenance things) i got it done!! Many of you are probably wanting to know about our new house....?? WEll, the wicked witch of the west fell on it..therfore we are back on the market AGAIN!!!! But it's okay!! really i believe that Heavenly father is watching over us and so the minute i heard that there was a glitch and we weren't getting the house..I felt PEACE inside. but I will say..that I have been daydreaming today about being in that home..(suppose to have moved on friday the 27th) BUT can you imagine having to move in the middle of both Hair shows,,NO WAY!! last week kicked my arse! I skipped church today and slept till 2:30 pm (not kidding) Nate's a sweet heart and took on the kiddies so I could try to catch up on some sleepies!! (don't know why i am ending everything with ies..) anyhow starting August 2nd I am officially a HAir stylist at Blush Salon in Sugar House!!! Because I am a mommy first..I will only be taking clients every other saturday, plus I still assist he ever amazing Cody Allen on Fridays sooooo book an appointment with me..i'm quite good!! anyhow..I did take a client last Saturday...first one in the Salon, and it was soooo fun. I love the people i work with they are all very gifted and passionate and I LOVE being surrounded by passionate people!! i wish we could find a home in Sugar House. I really really like it alot, unfortunatly the space we need would run us up into the 3 and 400,000 in that area.. CRAZINEss! allright..that is my life in a nut shell..lots of good news to report and really i will post some pictures someday..I promise!!

PEACE

Tavis "Tid Bits"

Tavis turned 3 back in March. he is my oldest and his speach gets better and better every day. the other day I was in a time crunch so instead of putting the kids in a bath I put them in the shower with me...usually they play with their toys while I wash my hair, but this time Tavis kept pushing my stomach in and saying "gushy" "gushy" "gushy"....then he took my stomach in his hands on each side of my belly button and made a mouth with my "Gushiness" and said in a low voice while moving the skin back and forth like a mouth."I am gushy, I am gushy..ha ha ha. I couldn't stop laughing and decided that it was a very good thing I am not paranoid about my weight..otherwise I am pretty sure that would have sent me right into a deep state of depression!!

The next day...while my kids were eating lunch..i figured i had a few moments to steal away and read a chapeter in "new moon" the second book of the twilight series. well..it's not that easy once you start up that book you lose track of time. tavis had finished his lunch and was playing with his cars by my feet on the floor. I thought(oh he's having funI'll keep reading) well I realized he threw his cars down a few minutes later and ran pouting into to next room. Ipulled my attention from Bella and Jacob Black for a minute to ask him what the matter was? he yelled from the next room "I NEED SOME ATTENTION" not much can get me to close that book but that was too much. i went in the next room to see his little pout lip shadowed by his brows turned in and eyes hurt. I took him in my arms and said "what did you say" he looked up at me with his powder blue pouting eyes and repeated " I Need some attention". I couldn't believe me ears...What honesty. from now on i am going to do the same thing to my husband when march madness comes around...sad thing is..he probably won't here me. and that is a Tavis "Tid Bit" for todaY!!!!

I have fallen for another man....

Well I guess he's not really a man....You see he couldn't be. He says all the right things and is brutely honest, yet listenes like he's never heard me speak before and every word has a reaction..a passionate reaction. And he doesn't just kiss...he makes a path of unbearable cold ice breaths up my neck and barely....I guess I should make it clear...it's not me he's kissing, or wanting...it's Bella. And even though I put myself in her place...I have to admit I could never be as brave as she is or have an ounce of self control. For all of you Twilight readers you KNOW exactly what I am talking about. for all of you who haven't read the book yet...don't pick it up until you have atleast 3 days and nights to read it...cuz you won't put it down. I was up till 4 this morning reading it. I read 250 pages this morning and in a few chapters I'll be done with the 500 page book that I started Sunday evening. Thanks Mandy for over taking my life with this great gift you gave me!! It would never work between Edward and I anyways....I wouldn't beable to keep my hands off him..and we all know what would happen if Bella didn't have the self control and calmness that she has!!! Sooo..I should be studying for my written on Saturday morning...I guess I have an excuse now if I fail...it's all Edwards fault!!

Good news.....

We close on that home in Stansbury Park on June 20th!!!! After we finally figured it all out with the "for sale by owners" I let myself get excited. yea my own home and fenced yard!! whenever I tell people that we are moving to Stansbury Park I hear wonderful things about the people and the area, so that excites me even more. So I just spent atleast 20 minutes on a post and I somehow erased it..AHHH. it's like 2 in the morning but I know that if I don't get it done now it's gonna be another two to 4 weeks before I get on again. So tavis and Hailey are getting so big. it kinda makes me sad. I love this time in my life and I don't really want it to change, I enjoy story time with them. we do it twice a day once with just them and me before nap time and then when im not at school at night(with daddy). we all cuddle up under "mommy and da da's covers" it usually lays Nate then Tavis then Me and Hailey travels and sits on our heads through out the story. when Nate is there he gets the official vote to read. I love watching the kids giggle while daddy reads the cat in the hat in his scottish accent. it's so fun to be a kid sometimes with them, like the other day I took them to the park and I actually played with them instead of parking my butt on the grass and talking with my friends. I swinged with them, I tried the monkey bars (im a wuss) i went down the slides and it wasn't so much the playing that was fun, but the sparkle in their eyes that only a child has that made me giggle in my heart. Hailey Loves the swings...I got a few swings in with her on my lap until she realized Tavis was swingin on his own. Well, then of coarse she has to do it alone..little miss Independant. Oh to have her confidence. It was fun for me to see Tavis explore new heights (literally) he climbs higher and higher every time and even though he falls to get down, he will get up, shake it off and climb higher the next..oh to have his bravery. I felt so emotionally fed after our time at the park...If I could just be like my little ones...I would be on top of the world! Nate is doing so well at work and I am so proud of him. He has finally gotten into a career that is so perfect for who he is and what he loves to do... help people and support his family doing it. He is the Sales and Marketing Manger for Energy Star Alliance. if you ever need to make your home energy efficient..give nate a call! He's amazing at it and has quiet the passion for it. Life is good. I am part of a Hair show that My school puts on yearly. my group is over 10 models and 20 dancers for the Britney spears segment. It is so fun. One of the Models is my Bestest Friend Brittany Griego Mulford. I get to take her hair Blonde and watch her walk her sassy self down the cat walk. If any of you want to come let me know. Tickets are 20 bucks at the Salt Palace June 26th @ 7 oclock and sell out every year. all proceeds go to charity and it's way way fun!!I graduate June 26th. I could be done but I have been taking my time. I am really into the Hair show so I thought I might as well get hours for it and take my time. We plan on moving into our Home the last week of June. not excited about the packing and moving and unpacking but so excited to get into our home! well it's like 3 now and Hailey usually wakes up at 7:30....so I'll let you go. someday I will post pictures..I have alot of them..just not posting them. have a good week and be a kid with your kids it's amazing what they can teach you.

Beware of "for sale by owners"...

Good NEWS.....suppose to be closing on a home in 2 weeks!!! Not likely going to happen. Why you ask? well let me just tell you....we just happened to stumble across some of the most ignorant "for sale by owners" that you can possibly run into. If any of you are in the house hunting or saleing right now...you know that it is a buyers market, not a sellers.... a buyers...I'm the buyer they are the seller..YET they have proceeded to have their Fathers (both) call my realtor and yell at him after every addendum we have sent, they rejected our repair addendum, My poor realtor has had to drive to Stansbury Park from Layton to sit down with their whole dam fam and explain every word to them.(twice) I love this house..its exactly what we have been looking for that's why we offered 2000 grand more than they were asking AND are financing our own realtor costs...YES i know we are crazy to do that in a market such as this (I've heard it from every mortgage and realtor person since that i have talked with) BUT its got everything to a tee..of what we are looking for. even the color of paint on the walls! so you tell me..am I crazy or are these people really stupid? they must be liven in a bubble of some sort. I packed the kids up yesterday (Saturday), drove all over the place all day, pricing out stuff. (realtor is out of town) any ways..found out that we could build for 3000 less than what we are paying them..AND have no drama!! anyhow...long story short..probably going to terminate this contract, and the good part..watch this house sit on the market for at least 6 more months and sell for 20 grand less of what they are asking for. I am mean i know...but come on people.....!!! Anyways, I haven't been on here for awhile..slowly getting done with my last month of school...each week my graduation gets further and further down the road...I've skipped a few days or so...I'm just done mentally there..BUT not physically . I've got 80 hours left and that's gonna take me a little while to get..seeming as how I'm not too motivated to go right now. weird question for ya? why does the state make cosmetologist get 2000 hours and real estate agents only 90, before they will issue a licence? Even general Contractors only need a few hundred before they are out building the biggest investment of your life time...okay I'm going to go to bed..I'm on one 2 night. catch ya later..
