Being a Mom

There is nothing sweeter.

Except maybe that cupcake I had 2 days ago.

Hazel born January 14th.

Day 14

A TV show you are currently addicted to

No doubt about it, I am addicted to this show. I love it! I would love to get a nice butt-kicking workout from Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper. My friend and I actually have been doing one of Jillian Michaels work out videos a few times a week, and man. She is a monster. She means business, but I think she's awesome. I just can't even imagine doing a workout like that being like 300 pounds though. THAT would be tough.

Another show I look forward to watching every week is..

30 Rock!

It's hilarious.

And If I had cable I would probably be watching THIS everyday..... (guilty pleasure)

No jokes, man.

Day 13

Your favorite musician and why?

I couldn't decide between these two studs. They both rock my socks off.
Paul McCartney and Billy Joel
I like them so much because their music reminds me of when I was younger, and my dad would listen to them...

Day 12

A picture of the town you live in....

Orem, Utah people.

I love the mountains.
I love the snow ON the mountains.
I do not love the snow in the valley.
I love the drier weather.
I do not love the high altitude.
I love that there is SO much to do here. And there is a Cafe Rio, and about a bajillion cupcake shops. And a Super Target 2 blocks away.
I do not love the lack of a Haggens.
I do love Orem.
But...
I miss home. Very, very much.

Day 11

What's in your make-up bag?

I have ONE thing right now. I like to keep it simple...

I heart mascara.

Day 10

A Picture of your favorite place to eat

Nom. nom. nom.

Nom.

Day 9

A photo of the item you last purchased

Definitely went to Panda Express, and definintely got the Panda Feast.

Thanks to Chloe and Ryan for helping me tackle that hot mess. :-)

Day 8

A song to match your mood




Just the "i'm so tired" part really but the way he sings it too is how I feel. Exhausted.
Listen. It's a good song. Makes me miss home. All beatles songs do! I think of my dad, or just laying in my room listening to beatles, or playing beatles rock band....

IDEA!! MOM DAD WERE HAVING A ROCK BAND-A-THON WHEN WE COME IN 3 WEEKS! Yaaaaaaaa

Day 7

My dream wedding

I have never been someone who really thought a lot about wedding details or anything. Just simple stuff is good. But if you're gonna ask...........BAM. There ya go. Disneyland all the way baby.

Day 6

A photo of an animal you would like to keep as a pet

Okay, I have no idea why but I have always had a soft spot for baby sloths. They are cute.. in an ugly way. Does that make sense? and look at this guy!!! He's just saying.. Heyy! looooveee me!

They get a little bit...... sillier looking when they are older but this guy is like.. HEY! wanna be my friend? See what I'm saying? Heart melting. haha.

Day 5

Post of a picture of yourself from 2 years ago

Good day to you.

Day 4

My favorite photograph of my best friend(s)

I have had two friends that I have grown up with that I have always said are my best. I still consider them that, even though they are too cool to come see me!

Julia Goolia of course. Lickin the frozen Mississippi (2006). What's new? Womsley Chocolate, Kindergarten cop and rocket power cheese nips. That's what's up. Oh and the pony tail club.And of course!! Pickle Pants Thompson. aka. Nicole. Don't know what's going on in this picture (2003) But she's having a good time! Oh okay, I'll put some good ones up too.

Day 3

Your idea of the perfect first date.

Definently not a romantic one. Yuck. I still don't like romantic dates. They bore me. Like the whole "long walks on the beach" kind of date... SNoooooooooore. I'm like a kid, take me to a candy store, putt-putt golfing, or watch Disney movies all night and you're golden.

Another do-not first date for me: Don't take me wheeling with friends in your big red jeep with 5 foot high wheels in the dark muddy woods, no cell phone service, and then get stuck and make me miss curfew by 2 hours. That will get me grounded for a week.

(Me and Josh 2005)

And if you were wondering.. YES that is how mine and Josh's first date went.

Day 2

A photo of something you ate today
.
This one is lame.
.
Well I guess I only think that because I didn't eat anything exciting.
.
I'm on my 5th day of a month without sweets... So whenever I crave a sweet, I eat some apple. Yummmm.

Day 1

A photo of yourself and a description of how your day went.

.

<-- ME at Pirate Island

.

It's been a good day so far. Got up at 4:55 to be at work at 6. Yikes. Made cakes, pastrys, all the stuff that makes people soft. I enjoy my job, but am sooo excited for the 1st of the year when I can be DONE! woo! Now I am home and about to go for a run with Josh! Good day. Yes.

Motivation

Yup. It's been a long time.
I was looking at my friends blog the other day and thought I would try this to get me going again. We'll see if I stick with it. Some of the questions are kind of silly so I might just ignore them. Okay. Awesome. hmmm I'll start tomorrow. Ha.

It's about time.

I'm not really into blogging anymore. Don't know why. BUT I thought I would just update on how CLOSE we are to having our second baby! So excited!!

I'm 37 weeks, my doctor said he wouldn't make me go passed my due date this time if I didn't want to, and I love him for that.Ultrasound of the baby at 34 weeks

Me at 37 weeks

Good stuff.

Baby Girl Holmquist coming March 2010!


I haven't been able to post for a while because we are staying at my parents and they currently do not have the internet. Soooo once that changes I will get some pictures up. Ya!

Oh Hi! Remember Me?

We had a busy month-o-May!

First off- My Parents, Tait, Katy, Paul and Avery were here visiting (see previous post)

Then we headed off to Utah for a week to visit Eli, Brittany and Grady. We had fun at temple square, the Biggest Loser party, and getting to watch Grady while Eli and Britt were at work!

Then my awesomely awesome friend Crazy ol' Maurice... I mean Julie came and visited me for a whole week! Man that was a good time.

We went to a Padres baseball game, where we stuffed ourselves with garlic fries, hotdogs and milkshakes and actually watched like 10 minutes of the game.
And Of COURSE we went to Disneyland. I mean that would totally be out of character if I didn't go to Disneyland on my birthday! I got to wear a pin that said Happy Birthday on it and all Disneyland employees that saw had to say Happy Birthday to me. It was great.

Went on Thunder Mountain for youuu Mom!

This is just me.. being annoying.. for Josh. Because I don't know, it's my birthday. I can do that.

Julie and Heath became BFF's. Don't mind the mess on the couch. Yikes.

It was SOOOOOO nice to see you Julie!

Since the last time (3 years ago) was this...
And this....

And this....Don't ask.

And if that's not enough craziness for you, just go to Julie's blog for a lot more fun pictures.

Alright I'm done.

For now.
