I have been so very fortunate for the past few years to be able to call CHRISTY TOMLINSON one of my personal friends.
To me - she isn't a DESIGNER, a SCRAPBOOK EXTRAORDINAIRE, the FOUNDER of a SHOCKINGLY SUCCESSFUL kit company, a former CHATTERBOX employee or even one hell of a FANTASTIC TEACHER.
(and now Im getting teary)
To me - she is an HONEST BUSINESS WOMAN, a glorious MOTHER, a LOYAL FRIEND, a GENEROUS angel, a HARD WORKING church member, an understanding WIFE, a DOWN TO EARTH woman and someone who does not have a single shred of SNOBBINESS OR JUDGEMENTAL-NESS in her entire (little) body.
My life has personally been blessed in many more ways than just scrapbooking because of her.
I have often said that when I GROW UP - I want to be just like CHRISTY.
So in honor of her 25th birthday (lol) I gathered the personal photos that I have of her for all of YOU to enjoy.
Although she is going to TOTALLY FREAK OUT that I am posting these - I DONT CARE. To me, my grainy photos of a pajama clad Christy are the EPITOME of who she is!
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE
SHE IS COMPLETELY
NORMAL.
These were from shortly after she left Boise and had a little "retreat" at her house! I STILL adore my projects from it.
And if you give her a GIANT PIXY STIX for a treat - she might find it a little sour at first, but she will LOVE IT regardless.
And if you are lucky enough to have her for a FRIEND then you KNOW that she is always up for a scrapbooking retreat, even if she doesnt actually manage to scrap anything - she loves to hang out with the girls!
Shockingly - for as beautiful as she is - even in her jammies, she DOES NOT LIKE having her picture taken.
And chances are, if you stop at her house WITHOUT CALLING FIRST - you are likely to be greeted at the door by at least one half naked little boy.
If its a good day - it will be this little boy and he will want to PLAY and LAUGH and show you all of his treasures.
If its a different day - it will be an emotional pouter who's life is being RUINED by some tiny little thing and you will be able to tease him until he finally laughs.
And if you stay long enough, the other kids will come home. Some will sit and chat your ear off and some will hide in the other room.
Eventually you are bound to see Christy's SUPER HOT hubby come in from outside and he will talk to you like he has known you his whole life.
But in my opinion - the best part of your visit to the TOMLINSON house will by far be the fact that there are toys on the floor, there are a gazillion shoes by the front door, there is always a child who wants to be with and talk to his wonderful MOTHER (dont count on having a moment ALONE with Christy) and while you sit on her couch and TRY to take a photo of her - you will notice that no one is RUSHING AROUND, OR CLEANING UP, OR ACTING ANY DIFFERENTLY than they would if you werent there.
THATS BECAUSE THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN THAT I KNOW - IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST NORMAL.
Happy Birthday Christy - you mean the absolute world to me and I miss you immensely.
HUGS AND KISSES TO YOUR WHOLE FAMILY.

Sooooooooo, after I gave everyone a hint - we got ourselves a WINNER! (not a weiner) But a WINNER! So my FAVORITE CANDY IS:
SMARTIES
And the first person to guess that correctly was my pal:
JANNA
Now Janna, in all honesty - I am really really hoping that you dont like smarties, that way I can keep the bag for myself - but you did WIN fair and square so I will give them to you if I HAVE to!
Now onto my very favorite (and very skanky) Halloween costumes!
Im not sure which would be better for ME - skanky angel or half angel half devil? What do you think?
.
I thought this one would be PERFECT for Jenell since she is a total Disney freak and she is way skinny now that she is like a tennis pro!
IS THIS NOT THE CUTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!! This one is for my friend Brittani - mainly because she has the PERFECT bod for it! But even if you didnt have the perfect bod - its a freaking MONARCH BUTTERFLY - how unique is THAT??????? love it!
.
OK - so I know I cant actually WEAR this one, I mean I hate it when I have to see big girls with their guts hanging out, but I without a doubt am dying to be
THE QUEEN OF HEARTS
for Halloween this year! How perfect (be quiet Blake) (LOL) would that be? And since I am in love with CROWNS, it would totally fit ME! Ok, since that one is a little TOO SKANKY (even for me).........
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?????????????????
Oh my heck - it has EVERYTHING that I am currently in love with - thigh highs, corset top, hearts and crowns! I LOVE IT! I think I would probably have to add a little layer of fabric to the underneath, just to make it a bit longer (i dont want to be one of THOSE big girls!) LOL
ALRIGHTY - so out of all the costumes on this post and the one below which do YOU THINK I should be for Halloween this year??????????? And since I am completley UNSELFISH and care about everyone but myself, i really want to know - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE FOR HALLOWEEN? LMK.
I dont like Halloween. Of course, I feel like the ONLY person upon the earth who detestes costumes and trick or treating and all that crap - but since I found out that I'm NOT the only Christmas music hater in the world, I must not be the only Halloween hater either.
ANYWAY -------- oh yeah, if you clicked over here JUST for the CONTEST, you have to suffer through (or scroll through, if you dont think my writing is as fantastic as I do) the whole post before we get to the CONTEST part. OK?????????????
ANYWAY (again) ----- for some strange reason (maybe its the big girl panties that came with the divorce) this year, for Halloween
I WANT TO
DRESS UP,
WEAR A
COSTUME,
JOIN IN THE
PRETENDING
ETC ETC!!!!!!!
Yes - you heard that correctly. Shocking but true (like most aspects of my life). But I dont want to wear just any old costume - would that be ME???????????? NO WAY!
Lately - I have been feeling a little..... well, lets just say HOT!!!!!!
So I figured I needed a HOT costume as well!
Now I realize that I am not of the SIZE or BODY TYPE to wear some of these EXACT costumes - but were talking ideas and things quite similar.
Are you seeing a theme here??????????????????
I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE THIGH OR KNEE HIGH SOCKS!!!
They are the cutest!
I am not a huge sports fan - but how cute is that? LOVE IT!
SWEET AND INNOCENT little red riding hood and snow white!
I would LOVE to find an ICONIC image of CHRISTINA AGUILERA and be HER for Halloween, but I cant decide what would be best. I have even considered the Brittany with the red wig in the WOMANIZER video - but I could always go this route for BRITTANY SPEARS:
Are those not totally the old Brittany?????????????????????
Blake might like me in THIS ONE! lol. (or is that more his OTHER ex-wife?)
AND HOW HOT IS THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? and all those people on facebook getting MERMAID as their answer to the what you should be for Halloween quiz - this is perfect!
OK - I'm going to save my last few VERY FAVORITE ONES for the post that has our CONTEST WINNER IN IT!
I KNOW - you probably thought I was so wrapped up in the costume hottness that I was going to FORGET THE CONTEST right????????
HECK NO - I LOVE A GOOD CONTEST! ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS ABOUT MY FAVORITE SUBJECT:
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright - the first person to answer this question correctly gets a PRIZE! Now, I know that you SHOULD be able to guess the answer because I asked Blake and the boys the same question and they had one other guess too - but were correct pretty dang quick. IF THEY CAN DO IT - ANYONE CAN! lol
I HAVE A BAG OF MY FAVORITE CANDY SITTING HERE - THE FIRST PERSON TO GUESS CORRECTLY WHAT IT IS - GETS IT. the only clue I will give you is that it is a common trick or treating candy.
oh - and for those of you who dont know, click on the word COMMENTS down there and then you can leave your guess there. dont be scared, its ok - its just a coment on a blog, no worries! LOL
(edit - scroll down for the score!)
Alrighty - for all of those Idahoans or those former Idaho Falls Tigers out there (especially that sweet, ovary-acting girl in Provo, named Nicholas) here are a couple pictures of the weather currently:
The view outside of my apartment. It doesnt LOOK nearly as bad as it FEELS.
.
And then I took a picture with the flash on so you could actualy SEE the freaking SNOW! It isnt coming down very bad NOW - but around 6:00 it was like a BLIZZARD.
Luckily though (Im bad with directions) but I am pretty sure the wind is blowing towards the SKYLINE side of the stadium. But still - there are gonna be some freezing fans out there on both sides!
I AM SO GLAD to no longer be a CHEER MOM! I hate football and I really hate snow. I may be WEARING ORANGE today, but no one will get to see it because I will be TOASTY WARM indoors tonight!
GOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(will spray paint even stick to cold, wet goal posts?)
HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! IFHS IS THE BEST!

So speaking of Trevor getting his haircut, He needed it cut so badly because we had to wait UNTIL THE STAPLES WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS HEAD to even get his hair WET, let alone get it cut.
Yes, you heard that correctly -
TREVOR HAD STAPLES IN HIS HEAD - 3 TO BE EXACT.
A few weeks ago - I get a frantic call from the school secretary saying that Trevor FELL and hit his head and it was cut badly and bleeding like crazy and the paramedics were on their way. Needless to say - PHONE CALLS LIKE THAT REALLY FREAKING SUCK!
So I jump in the van - with very little makeup on, non-blow-dryed hair, no bra, and my lounge around the house clothes on - and rush to the school. Of course it WOULD have to be during carpool time! So there was a teacher (Garrett's actually) out on the street waiting for me and when she saw me she stopped all the other cars and guided me in to where the ambulance was.
.
When I got inside the school all of the kids in Trevor's class were freaking out and a few had been crying and word had gotten around the whole school by now. As soon as he hit his head and didn't respond to his teacher immediately - she got all the other kids out of the classroom, so when I walked in all I saw was Trevor, Carina and the paramedics. I was glad that he was sitting in a chair instead of laid out on a stretcher thingy! The paramedics said that they didn't know how bad it was because it had finally stopped bleeding and had matted his hair down and they didn't want to go digging around in it and have it start bleeding again.
.
So we talked and signed papers and I took him over to our pediatrician. Dr. Scott Smith! He did a thorough job of checking Trevor for any other injuries and discussed with us things that can cause people to suddenly pass out and fall and hit their heads on the sharp edgeof a shelf. He also said that he had a definite concussion, but since there was such a good sized lump around the cut - he wasn't worried about any internal damage.
.
Then he rinsed the hair and found where the injury was. It definitely wasn't HUGE - only about an inch long, but he said Trevor must have hit HARD because it was pretty DEEP. And I was informed that head wounds ALWAYS bleed PROFUSELY.
.
Dr. Smith put some numbing stuff on it (which Trevor said "didn't work at all")
.
Then he IRRIGATED it. Trevor said THAT hurt BAD. But he was a little consoled when Dr. Smith told him that he got to keep the irrigator - or SQUIRT GUN as it was often referred to as.
.
That is the STAPLER! Al you do is squeeze the wound together and push the handle on the stapler and VOILA - staple in head!
NOW AS GROSS AS THE PICTURES HAVE BEEN - HERE IS YOUR WARNING THAT THE NEXT ONE IS THE GROSSEST AND THE COOLEST!
.
.
THAT IS WHAT 3 STAPLES LOOK LIKE IN SOMEONES HEAD!!!!!!!! Pretty freaking cool looking huh?
So we spent the next week and a half not being able to get his head wet, having him forget and put his head down on something and he even said once that he shouldn't have to do chores as long as he has staples in his head!!!!!!!
He recovered quickly and even WANTED to go to school the next day.
Then I kind of forgot about the staples until 12 days later (they were supposed to be in 7-10 days). Unfortunately it was a Saturday now, but the super fantastic office that we go to was OPEN and said to bring him on in.
That is the "staple remover". We of course kept the staples for his scrapbook. He said it hurt to have them taken out, but not as bad as having it irrigated!
It healed up nicely and Trevor still says every time he showers how great it is to be able to get his head wet and wash his hair!
I would like to introduce you all to someone VERY VERY important in my life. She means the world to meand somedays I feel like I would DIE without her.
This is Lindsey Nulph. She is a stylist at Carlisle Beauty. It is SHE who helps me to continue to have GREAT HAIR! I totally trust her and she is super fun and so freaking talented.
I absolutely hate PAYING for haircuts - I can cut my own hair pretty good - but this girl could charge an arm and leg to do my hair and I would give it to her happily! And not only is she GOOD - but shes FAST too - and I cant stand sitting in that chair for very long so that is so wonderful!
I like her so much that she even cuts Trevor's hair too. (which he HATES - but the poor kid just doesn't have the right kind of hair to grow it out long). I forgot to get an after picture though - dang.
She and the rest of the girls at Carlisle also offer other SERVICES too - NO not THOSE kinds of services! LOL! But things like nails, color, products and WAXING!
Although Trevor and his pizza covered face look scared and upset - he was actually a very willing participant in the waxing of the eyebrows. He decided that it would probably be WAY better than me PLUCKING them! HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH TWO EYEBROWS!!!!!!!!!!! And he said it only hurt for a couple minutes. I would give Lindsey TEN BUCKS any day to NOT have to listen to him whine and yell when I pluck them - it was fantastic!
And to let you all know - although Lindsey is the girl that keeps MY hair in its CONSTANTLY GORGEOUS STATE - tonight it was ME who got to put someone elses hair in that same state! YEP - a few hours ago I CUT ROBINS HAIR! It was way fun and she looks super duper cute! THANKS FOR A GREAT NIGHT ROBIN!
LASTLY -
ARE YOU ALL DYING TO KNOW WHY I LOVE HAVING CONTACTS??????
No one guessed a totally right answer - so I will tell you-
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART OF HAVING CONTACTS IS THAT I CAN NOW SAFELY DO MY MAKEUP WHILE DRIVING!
(taking OFF my glasses to do eye makeup isn't very safe or smart when your vision is as bad as mine is!)
First of all - NONE of the comments on my last post have been correct yet and I WANT MORE PEOPLE TO GUESS!!! (can you totally picture me stomping my foot as I say that????) LOL! Anyway.....
Today was ABRAHAM LINCOLNS birthday!
I am not going to jump on the LETS COMPARE OBAMA AND LINCOLN bandwagon or anything, but I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't at least commemorate today in some way.
The 16th president isn't one that we talk about alot at our house (and YES we DO talk about alot of presidents here) but we tend to focus on the first few and the last few. I suppose we should discuss him more - some poll somewhere said that when asked who was the most important president a majority of people will answer LINCOLN.
I myself wont go THAT far (this is one of MY all time favorite presidents) but Lincoln is up near the top of the list for sure.
I went to Fords Theater and the house where Lincoln died when I was in High School, but in all the times that our family has been to DC we have never gone together. Unfortunately on our last trip in 2008 the theater was being renovated (for the 200th birthday celebrations) and we got to the house across the street FIVE MINUTES AFTER CLOSING TIME!!!!!!!! So my family has still Never seen where he was shot or where he died.
We have been to the Lincoln Memorial MANY times though - so many, that this time we didnt even take decent pictures of it. This is a picture of the view looking back towards the rest of DC with your back to President Lincoln.
And facing him, this is what I saw - NO - I don't know who those people are. We have TONS of pictures of the memorial, but they were before we got our digital camera so they are not easily shareable.
.
There was a nice exhibit celebrating the connections that Lincoln had with Idaho that was in Rexburg a few weeks ago and of course the boys and I went to see it. Here are a few pictures from it:
I heard an interesting view about Lincolns anti-slavery-ness today. Many people automatically assume that he wanted equal rights for everyone and hated slavery because it made the black people unequal to the white people. However - one scholar said that Lincoln (like anyone in that day) wasn't THAT much of an equal rights advocate. He hated slavery because his father had been a poor farmer who couldn't compete with all of the plantation owners who had tons of free labor. So Lincoln wanted to end slavery for more economic reasons than racial reasons. I had never heard that - I always just assumed that he loved everyone the same. INTRIGUING.
No matter what - he still had a huge impact on our country and humanity in general.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT LINCOLN!!!!!!!!
A few days after Christmas I got a call from my friend Robin - this in itself isnt unusual, but getting a call from her at 10:12pm is HIGHLY unusual (shes NOT a night owl), and to top it all off - she was calling from her dads house.
When I said "Hello" all I heard on the other end was an out of breath voice say "Can I bring the boys over to your house?" To which I replied "Yes - is everything ok?" And she said "NO - we'll be right there".
I instantly knew that her father must have had a heart attack. He had one years ago and had all the surgery stuff that goes along with it but since then he has always been in FANTASTIC health and has taken very good care of himself.
When she got here I ushered the boys inside and asked her if it was Gary - she said yes and that it wasnt good. She would call me later. The boys both looked scared and upset and sad so we chated for a while and then I tucked them in bed and knowing that their family is a prayerful one I asked them if they wanted me to pray. They said yes. Throughout the whole prayer all I could think to say was things that had to do with Gary dying and what his family would need, for some reason I even talked about where we go when we die and that its ok. To me, it was such a strange feeling prayer.
They went to sleep quickly and it was less than 2 hours later when the phone rang and Robin said - "i'm on my way- he's gone." She came and got the boys and I was left feeling so helpless knowing that she must be hurting so bad.
For the next week or so I was so proud of Robin and the strength she had to make funeral plans and family plans and business plans and EVERYTHING PLANS all while still being a good mom and a good friend. The Lord was truly watching over her.
January 2nd we went to Garys funeral. Many of our girlfriends came to the visitation time to show their love and our friend Sheri even stayed for the whole funeral with us - just to be supportive. There were tons of people there, not just family and business acquaintances, but friends and friends of friends. I knew that Robin would probably not be in any state of mind to document the event and as strange as it seems - I knew she would want photos of the funeral so I brought our camera and took a ton of photos.
Some of them are not THE BEST - but I was trying really hard to not be disrespectful or intrusive so there wasnt the normal oppurtunities to focus correctly or do many retakes or even use the flash in the dimly lit funeral home.
This is Christopher, Taylor and Doug bringing Gary in.
Trevor and Garrett both had a hard time when we first got there with the fact that Gary had been cremated and his remains were in that little box.
One of the owners of the funeral home was nice enough to sit down with the boys and I to discuss cremation and how it works and what they do and everything. Luckily he was L.D.S. too so when Trevor had a couple more spiritual questions surrounding the ressurrection - he was able to kindly and thoughtfully answer them. It was really nice.
Garys life sketch was FANTASTIC AND FUNNY AND FULL of wonderful stories.
One of my favorite part of funerals is when they have time for the friends or family to get up and share a memory or thought or story about the person who died. I got photos of most of the people who spoke - but there were a few that were more moving than others-
Like Robins son Taylor AND her ex-husband C.J. Even HIS words were kind and loving.
And when Gary's step-son Doug got up and could barely speak. When he finally got his words out - they made even ME get a little teary.
Then we all went outside into the FRIGID cold to see the military rites stuff.
Here is the guy giving the flag to Gary's mother while his "wife" (girlfriend) looks on.
Gary would have been 70 years old today. Thats pretty old - but dang he was still a young guy at heart. I didnt get the chance at his funeral to stand up and say what I wanted to say so I guess I will say it here.
The thing I will miss most about Gary Hoyt is kissing his cheek, especially if it was on the side that he was blind on because then sometimes he wouldnt see it coming! I will miss teasing Robin (in front of Gary) about how HOT her Dad is. But most of all - I will miss patting his belly and asking him when his baby is due. He was a wonderful man and I cant wait to see him again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - not in any sort of physical sense of the word - so don't even go there with some guyish or male anatomy related comment, OK????
But I really do feel like the classic, stereo-typical GUY.
YOU ARE DYING TO KNOW WHY RIGHT??????
Well, when you think of things like birthdays and more specifically anniversaries and then you throw a guy into your thoughts, what do you instantly think of???? If your anything like ME (which everyone should be of course)(LOL) then you think of the fact that guys seldom ever remember the actual dates of these things.
Which brings me to my current feelings of guyishness. In my last post, way down at the very bottom I mentioned that my anniversary was Friday and waswondering if the traditional gift for the sixth year was Littlest Pet Shops.
As difficult and disappointing as it is to admit, I must say that not only is the traditional gift for year number 6 NOT Littlest Pet Shops but also
MY ANNIVERSARY IS NOT FRIDAY.
Yep, I can hardly believe that in all of my womanly fabulousness - I actually misquoted the date of my own anniversary. But I was at least close - ITS SATURDAY.
Now on to even more pressing issues concerning the lack of LITTLEST PET SHOPS on the list of traditional anniversary gifts. Here is a listing of what gifts go with what year:
|
Year |
Traditional |
Modern |
Flowers |
|
Pansy | |||
|
Cosmos | |||
|
Fuchsia | |||
|
Geranium | |||
|
Daisy | |||

Poppy | |||
|
Daffodil | |||
|
Morning Glory | |||
|
Peony | |||
|
Hollyhock | |||
|
Dahlia | |||
|
Rose |
With this list in mind lets do some pondering and remembering.
First anniversary is PAPER! I definitely should have gotten a whole lot of scrapbook paper that year! I guess I could have given Blake like a newspaper or something or maybe TOILET PAPER?!?!?!? lol.
2 through 4 are kind of random in my opinion, but I do have thoughts on last year and this year.
Last year was our FIFTH anniversary. The traditional AND modern gift for that year is WOOD! All I will say is - I DEFINITELY GOT WOOD given to me that year - just not the kind that they mean on the list! GET IT???????????? ha-ha-ha!!!!!!
And as far as this year goes - CANDY????????????? I just lost 30 freaking pounds, there's no way in HELL that I need CANDY for a gift!
Realistically, I could probably do without all my Littlest Pet Shops too - but they are just so cute and fun.
What WOULD be a good anniversary gift this year?
Hmmmmm. I might have to get back with you on that one.
I KNOW - WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE A COMMENT GIVING ME SOME IDEAS OF WHAT I SHOULD GET FOR A GIFT THIS YEAR!
Just so your aware - the title of this post is something that Trevor would totally refer to as an OXYMORON! Amidst his sixth grade sense of humor - he is currently OBSESSED with them, his favorite is one that a kid in class came up with MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. To which I HAD to ask if he really knew what that was insinuating and he said yes, but he didn't necessarily AGREE with it - he just thought it was funny. But back to ME - I mean, are there REALLY that many things about ME that are not widely known? LOL.
Anyway - did you know that I collect Littlest Pet Shop Pets? Yep I do. I know, it probably sounds childish and dumbb for a "grown up" to collect little plastic animals, but they are just so cute! And since the boys like playing with theirs too - its something that we can do together. (What the heck am I talking about? Am I seriously JUSTIFYING my reasons for collecting something? - I must be getting sick!)
Unfortunately I don't have a current picture of the pets that I OWN - mainly because they are scattered throughout the house intermingled with the boys' ones and I am WAY too lazy to gather and sort them all just so I can take a picture of the ones that are mine.
But my point is that I WANT MORE! So I thought I would post the ones that I WANT and if anyone out there wants to leave one on my doorstep someday - FEEL FREE TO DO SO!
This little cutie comes with his "nook" - not many pets do anymore, now they come with cute little accessories, but I miss each of them having their own little house.
HOLY FREAKING CRAP!
See what I mean by CUTE LITTLE ACCESSORIES! A wheelbarrow for the bunny, a wagon for the kitten, a trike for the panda (he would look so cute on it), an actual little hive for the bee (how cute would that be for someone who goes to BONNEVILLE!) and a tent for the doggy!
Some of them are just ADORABLE. The puppy with the poopy even comes with a pretend newspaper for you to potty train him with. I think that ANY skunk is cute and the bottom one that comes with the tree and the eye mask is a BAT!!!!
.
And the best Littlest Pet Shop pets are the ones that are unusual and more rare animals.
I think I may truly DIE if I don't get the ARMADILLO and the set with the DEER AND OWL.
HMMMMMMMMM - my anniversary is Friday, I wonder what the gift for the sixth year is?????
Thats what people call me when I tell them that we give our cats BATHS!
Which surprises me because I cant imagine NOT giving cats baths. I mean they are kinda yucky little animals (yucky animals that I ADORE) Between the litter box, and their inability to clean many spots on their bodies - they can get pretty dirty.
So today was cat bath day!
This is Aisha - luckily she doesnt have claws so she is way easy to bathe. And NO she isnt trying to escape in the photo - I was lifting her up so I could wash her belly.
And when she was done and we were drying her off. She looks so pretty now!
