100th Post
I can't post my pictures from AZ until I do "100 Things About Me" (according to Tori). Here goes:
#100 - I was born in Mesa, AZ.
99 - I am the third of nine children.
98- As a young child, I loved catching butterflies, sometimes I took them home as "pets". A lady who lived between my home and my elementary school called me the Butterfly Girl cause I'd catch them in her yard a lot.
97 - I lived in one or two homes when I was very young, but the first one I remember was on June Street and had a huge eucalyptus tree in the front yard that I liked to climb.
96- My next door neighbors in that house were named Elsa and Biagio and were from Italy. They loved me. Elsa always had a pot of spagetti sauce cooking on the stove, filling the house with its heavenly aroma. I could write a lot about them.
95- I once tried to pick a prickly pear fruit from a cactus. I couldn't tell that the fruit also had tiny thorns on it. I was so embarrassed about getting thorns in my fingers that I lied and said that I fell off my bike and my hand landed on a cactus when I went to catch myself.
94- I met my lifelong friend Annie in elementary school in AZ. We were in the same third grade class, she had pretty handwriting.
93- I met my lifelong friend, Autumn, shortly after birth. We introduced our sons to each other last week.
92- I found a journal I kept in elementary school at my parent's house last week. It is very funny. I mostly wrote about what gifts I received for Christmas and birthdays.
91- I love picking out gifts for people. One of my greatest joys in life is having someone say I got them a present they really love.
90- I also LOVE being complimented on my cooking. It's not that I'm fantastic or anything, I just love food and eating and I want to be good.
89- I went to MacArthur Elementary school for K-4.
88- In 5th grade a new elementary opened named Ishikawa and my family opted to transfer there.
87- At the end of 5th grade we moved to California.
86- Our family really struggled with money those years in CA. My mom got me LA Gear shoes in 6th grade cause she sensed how important it was to me to have that name brand that year. I wore them with two pairs of scrunched socks like everyone else did that year (1989).
85- In 6th grade I met my lifelong friend, Lisa. We talk on the phone every month.
84- In 8th grade I had two guys ask me out the same week. Even though I kind of liked both of them I was too scared to "go out" with them cause I knew they wanted to french kiss (grossly referred to as "deep throating" by our friends) me and I didn't know how to do it and I didn't want to be embarrassed.
83- In October of 1991 (early in 8th grade) my dad was laid off and my family moved to Utah so my mom could live by her sister and so we could be near more Mormons.
82- Oh yeah, I am a devout member of the Mormon faith. Our church is not actually called the Mormon church though, we are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, what a mouthful.
81- While still in AZ my family took vacations to Rocky Point, Mexico every Spring Break. The town's real name is Puerto Penasco and though it was just a tiny desert town back then, it is now a major tourist destination. It's only real allure (at least to me) is great, cheap food and awesome tide pools.
80- Other childhood vacations were to California (beaches, Universal Studios, and Disneyland), Christopher Creek, and Showlow (both mountain towns in AZ with cool weather, fishing, etc.).
79- I LOVE Disneyland. To me it truly is The Happiest Place on Earth. People who don't love it usually haven't been on a weekday in fall or winter when there were no crowds.
78- People who don't like cats haven't met my cat, Rusty. I love cats.
77- I like going to zoos.
76- My first job was in elementary school selling stationary (etc.) door to door. I was an official member of the Olympic Sales Club (I think I still have the card). I've always liked having my own money and I've always been good at sales.
75- Ninth grade was the peak of my social existence. Kinda sad, but great memories.
74- I was in ELP (Extended Learning Program) in elementary school. It was for the "gifted" kids and I absolutely loved it.
73- I always regretted that when I moved to UT during 8th grade I got put in "regular" math even though I'd been in "advanced" math in CA (they hadn't gotten my records yet) and I've been kind of bored with math ever since and I felt like a loser among my smart friends.
72- In 9th grade I joined the school newspaper staff. I wrote for school newspapers every year until I graduated college.
71- I took French in high school because I thought I might want to major in fashion merchandising in college and I'd need french for all my trips to Paris.
70- I've never been to Paris.
69- I ran track in 9th grade but we didn't have a real track and I was always hurting my ankles so I never ran or jumped in a meet.
68- Joined the track team my senior year in high school again, but dropped out cause I hated all the running in practices. I just wanted to sprint and jump. Bad move. (Why didn't I do track my sophmore and junior years? Too busy being a social butterfly I suppose).
67- My first kiss was with Dan Neeway when I was 15. We are still friends.
66- Went on my first date (to a Homecoming dance) at 16 with Kris Howard. He later introduced me to the guy I would marry.
65- I'm pretty sure I went to every school and church dance available from age 14 to 19.
64- I taught country line dancing at schools and churches during high school after my friends and I taught it to ourselves with a video (Napoleon Dynamite style) and at Wheeler Farm.
63- I was the V.P. of my school's K.E.Y. club (a service organization) my junior year.
62- My first "real" job was at ShopKo (like a K-mart) at age 16, working as a cashier for the busy Christmas season.
61- I think my first paid babysitting job was at age 10. I had 3 or 4 younger siblings at that time.
60- My first concert was Reba McEntire. I was a big country music fan in high school.
59- I've seen Billy Joel in concert twice. I have been a fan of his as long as I can remember.
58- My earliest memory is dancing around my sister's Spiderman record player to Barry Manilow music.
57- I met my best friend, Jen, in 8th grade history, Mrs. Henroid's class. She is coming out to meet Jonah on Monday.
56- I found a list of possible baby names in a notebook from 1998. "Jonah" is on there, though I don't remember liking it that long ago.
55- Brandon and I dated on again, off again, for 2 1/2 years before getting married.
54- I was married the Wednesday before Thanksgiving during my sophmore year in college at age 19.
53- I went to college at The University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College, UofU again, Brigham Young University- Hawaii, and took my final Spanish class (4 years after my BYU-H graduation) at University of Central Oklahoma.
52- My Bachelor of Arts degree is from BYU-H in International Cultural Studies with an emphasis in Communications and a minor in Theatre.
51- I love going to plays.
50- I love performing, though nothing makes me so nervous and I don't know if I'm any good.
I will save the rest for tomorrow.

Look What I Can Do
Jonah turned 12 weeks old yesterday, and to prove that he has grown up, he started doing this trick. This is the first time he has purposely grabbed something and held it. He is very pleased with himself. He's probably frustrated because he never had the chance to practice last week cause he had no toys and was constantly being held. Oh, the life of a baby!

What Now?
What have I been doing since my last post? I've been in AZ.
Jonah and I came out to Arizona to visit my family last Wednesday. We have thouroughly (sp?) been enjoying our time here. Jonah got to meet 6 of my 8 siblings, two cousins, my grandma, and my bro and sis in law. That's 8 aunts and uncles this trip alone! He has been basking in all the attention. He also got to meet all 8 of his first cousins. Very fun. Charlotte, his 16-month-old cousin is especially enamored with him. Today is our last full day here and we expect good things. I will type up a more full report with pictures once we are home. We are missin' Daddy.

Pancakes
"We feel like eating pancakes" by Joe Sparks
I got an email from my brother, Teddy, in Madagascar yesterday. He told me awhile ago that cake in Madagascar tastes like butter and is not very sweet. At the last church party he went to he brought American pancakes and they were a huge hit with the locals. The Malagasy people have now named them Top of the Hat Cake. They say they don't need syrup and they consider them a dessert and not a meal. I found this all very amusing so I thought I would share.

Spring in Oklahoma
Normally we don't have a spring in Oklahoma, we have Tornado Season. This year we are having an incredibly weird spring. It has been cloudy for about 3 weeks, very little sunshine, very drab. It is getting old. And we've only had one exciting storm, not that I'm hoping for more tornados or anything, I do love a good thunderstorm though. We've had a lot of rain this year, which is great.
It snowed here on Friday. Yep, you read me right, snowed. That's an April snowstorm in the middle of the country, not in the Rockies or something. Pretty weird. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 70.

Easter Survey
What are your Easter traditions?
As a child we always woke up to baskets of goodies. We also did hunts in the house and the yard. We would always rehide eggs over and over to find them again. I loved when we did egg hunts with all the Brim cousins at Grandma's or the Courts.
Brandon and I always dye eggs and have a big dinner. We usually buy some candy too. When we lived in Utah we did Easter brunch at Alan's country club.
What is your favorite Easter dish?
I love ham and potatoes and asparagus.
When did you learn the truth about the Easter Bunny?
I don't remember, I think I kind of always knew there wasn't a real Easter bunny.
How do you decorate your home for Easter?
I think Easter is the one holiday I have no decorations for... I will have to fix that next year. I do have a pin I always wear, I've had it since I was a kid.
How many Easter egg hunts does your family usually participate in?
Brandon and I don't hunt for eggs, but we'll make sure Jonah does.
What is your favorite flavor of jellybean?
I'm not a real big jellybean fan, but strangely I've always liked the black ones even though I don't like actual black licorice. I ate so many popcorn flavored jellybellies in Jr. High that I hated them after that.
How do you decorate Easter eggs?
I like trying different egg dying kits, but sometimes we just use food coloring, stickers, rubberbands, and crayons. One year we did all-natural dyes (spinach, termeric, and berries) and that was really cool too.
Do you wear special Sunday outfits for you or your kids on Easter?
As a kid I always got a new dress for Easter and I like to keep up the tradition, though I was too broke this year. I loved the year I got a special Easter hat to wear to church, I felt so fancy.
What are your favorite church Easter hymns and/or choir arrangements?
A gospel song called, Were You There? is my favorite. I've sung the soprano part in it as part of a double quartet and I've also sung the solo part. I've heard the MoTab choir sing it as well.
Do you spend Easter at home, on vacation, or with family?
At home or with friends. If there is family nearby than with them.
Do you make deviled eggs out of leftover Easter eggs?
Yes, DEEE-LISH.
Are you tired of eggs by the end of the Easter Season?
I think I had that happen once.
What is your favorite Easter candy/treat?
I like Reece's PB eggs and Cadbury eggss ("horse snot with a booger in the middle" as my mother once so eloquently described them). I really don't eat candy much even though I like most all candies.
Anything else you want to share about Easter?
It's the most important Christian holiday (as Lauren pointed out). I'm going to make a big deal about its religious aspects to my kids. I went to Holy Thursday Mass this year at a Catholic church with friends this year and that was a nice kick-off to the holiday for me.

Good Baby
Today was Jonah's two month check up. I have been dreading this day because I knew he had to get 4 shots. He did great! He was so tired that he fell asleep literally 3 minutes after the shots were given. Poor little guy. Let's hope he isn't too fussy tonight and doesn't get a fever.
This picture is him two days ago. Isn't he cute in his little shorts?! We think he's a darling little toad. He has no neck, which isn't surprising since he weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. now. His percentages are the same as last month: 90th for headsize, 75th for weight, and 50th for height (he's 23 inches now).
Jonah loves having "conversations" and I even got him to leave a message on Nana & Papa's answering machine yesterday. He has recently discovered the power of his lungs (which makes his 3 minute cry before some naps a little more nerve wracking), is enjoying sucking his fists or fingers, and loves his mobile and dangly toys on his swing. He just keeps getting more and more fun.
