2010-12-22T10:46:00.000-08:00

I just love reading all my dear bloggers blog post. They are fantastic to read. They make my day a little brighter. I need to try harder to post on my blog I dont do it near enough. I have been taking more pictures now with my camera of my little stink bugs. Now just to figure out how to get them onto this computer and then I should have it handled just fine of getting them onto the blog. So im going to say this never thought I would, but I honestly miss working. Not really the being told what to do or having to be somewhere a specific time each day but the social aspect of it all and oh the extra cash never hurt anything. My friend Rachel decided after moving out here in Utah she had been here for about a year and half moved back to Florida where its warm. Im going to miss her but don't blame her for wanting to be close to her family again. The holliday spirit has been wonderful and I can't believe saturday is christmas already. Life is fun keeping the boys off the christmas presents and the Tree we are sporting a lovely gate around ours right now. The boys underwent surgery on the 10th to be circumcised and have their hypospadius fixed. I cant believe my babies are 8 months old already today to be exact! Well I will update after christmas

Grandma Owen and babies

Our house

Grandpa Owen holding Landon and Ian

Alright quick update. We are all doing well Cameron got a promotion at work recently and he is loving the change of pace. Its about time after 3 years of working there. I guess thats what happens when you turn 21 though. Landon and Ian had their 6 month shots on the 22nd. Yup thats right 6 months. I am keeping busy with the boys. Entertaining them and introducing solids and we are trying new things. Both boys roll over like crazy now and are starting to army crawl. Landon is our calm and mellow one and Ian is our well so called Drama Queen. Needs the attention on him all the time. Amazing how diffrent their personalities are. We love them so much. One of my favorite things to do is when I hear them awake in the morning go into their room and say good morning the smiles are very rewarding. Oh and speaking of their room I finally almost have it all decorated I will post pictures soon.

2010-10-13T07:07:00.000-07:00

Can I just tell you how I am not excited. Not excited for what? For the cold, snow, ice, dark gloomy days. You see im a summer kind of girl. On a happier note my babies will be 6 months old the 22nd and my are they growing. They have learned how to roll over and they bable non stop. Sleeping through the night for the most part. Drooling and screeming and laughing and learning. They love walks and are stinkers in church. Just graduated from their pack and plays into cribs. Hate their bouncers now. Love jumping in the jumparoo or chilling in the swing. Learning to eat solids. We now weigh about 14 pounds thats just moms guess Ian is probably fatter. He is a little chunk and Landon is Mr.Skinny. Who knew how sad it would be to pack away smaller sizes of those adorable clothes they once wore I cant keep up with them. Both are loved dearly.

Growing babies! and pics

I know that I have been horrible at keeping you up to date on everything so let me apologize now for that. In July Landon, Ian, Cameron and I took a road trip up to Oregon with Camerons family to attend his cousins wedding at the Portland temple and to attend the family reunion his Aunt was having that week as well. I was a little afraid for the drive 14 hours of driving that is with two 3 month olds. Suprisingly they did really well. In fact they are much better about being in their car seats now. The trip was so much fun. We had breakfast in The Dalles the first day there while we continued on our way to our Hotel in Salem. We went Swimming the first day. They next day thursday we went to Pacific City Beach. It was fun a little on the chilly side but nice and sunny. I mostly sat in the car with the babies. But still had a chance to get out and have some fun. Friday was the wedding so we got up and got ready and headed for the temple. Wow its such an incredible temple its like you would never even know it was there and all of a sudden it pops out of the trees at you so pretty. It was so wonderful to be able to sit in on their sealing and feel the joy they felt and reminded me of Cameron and I when we got sealed a year ago. Im so grateful for the blessings and importance of temple marriage. After that we went on the search for an Olive Garden mmmmm delish Thanks Mom and Dad so much. The reception was pretty small but nice. I am so happy for the newleyweds and their journey through life together. Saturday we went to Aunt Barbaras ward camp out although we didnt camp out we just hung out for a while. The kids all went down and played at the lake. Later on we went down to Lincoln City to see the beach and cute little shops all down the street. Lincoln city was freezing I was not a fan I was so glad we had gone to the beach a few days ago because today was so chilly. We spent alot of time just hanging out with family and sharing stories. Barbra made us some delicious food while we were there thank you so much for all your hard work. Sunday we mainly just hung out all day and ate dinner together and watched the bride and groom open up their fun wedding gifts. We left that night. We were sad to go but had such an amazing time. Cameron got sick on the way home appartently some of the other family got sick as well. Good thing he recovered quickly. We have had a good summer. Midvale days took place in the begining of August and that came with fun games a bbq a parade and fireworks. I didnt think this summer would be very fun with two new babies but it has turned out to be rather good. Landon and Ian are growing well at 4 months old they weigh 12 pounds 3 oz and 11 pounds 8 oz. We are introducing solids and watching them grow every day. Every day we discover new things they are learning.

A day in the life of Callie Landon and Ian

2010-06-18T13:20:00.000-07:00

Around 6:00 in the morning daddy wakes up and goes to work mommy tries to go back to sleep and doses on and off for about another hour and then the babies start waking up chomping on their binkies telling me they are ready for breakfast so we get up and get changed and fed and then we look around for a little while and fall asleep for about another 3 hours. Mommy tries to get things done while we are sleeping and then it starts all over again till daddy comes home.Not to eventful of a day but hey it works for us right now. We are starting to get a little more personality to us and we love just looking at mommy while she feeds us. Daddy loves us so much and is so protective over us. We are almost 2 months old already if you can believe that and we are going to get shots soon.

we don't always look like dad : )

Explanation of Casts

2010-05-25T14:57:00.000-07:00

I guess we should explain that Landon has casts from his feet going up to his diaper due to him having Club feet. They started casting him so that his feet will move back into normal position. He gets new casts every week and then he will wear braces on his feet for 3 months strait and then at night untill he is 4. The doctors say he should be able to walk fine.

This isnt actually a picture of Landon's feet but they look pretty much exactly how his did before they started casting them. Im so thankful that there are doctors who can help fix his little feet before he ever knows what he had. Hopefully he will never have to be teased for his feet.

worm and bug

2010-05-20T19:00:00.000-07:00

Landon is 6 pounds 12 ounces thats with the weight of his casts without them he is probably 6 pounds 5 ounces.
Ian is our chunky man and weights 6 pounds 12 ounces,
they are the same but it's only cuz landon is cheating with his casts ; )

ahhhhhhh mommy

Home one week

2010-05-15T16:24:00.000-07:00

So just a little update Landon and Ian are doing really well and gaining weight they love feeding time and of course a dry diaper. Mom and dad are starting to get a little more sleep at night but probably still not enough. We are enjoying being parents. We love watching them get their little personalities and finding out that Landon needs to be held and cuddled a little more then Ian. I know I said I would never do it but at some point during the night either one of them or both of them end up in bed with mom and dad. We go through about 8 to 10 diapers per baby a day. They sure are alot of work but I am loving staying at home with my boys everyday. Im somehow managing to keep up with their needs. Its amazing how far they have come in being home a week they are already three weeks old but it feels like they are only a week old due to being in the hospital. We love our little boys and feel so blessed to have such healthy premie babies. You never know how much work it is to be a mom untill you are one yourself.

Happy Earth day? No wait Happy Birthday Babies!

2010-05-03T09:53:00.001-07:00

Well I guess I have quit a bit to update you on because well about a week later after my last post I had the babies at 34 weeks and 4 days! Not much I could do about that one. On tuesday the day before my water broke I had been throwing up since 5 in the morning and started having contractions. So I called Labor and delivery and asked them what I should do they told me to come in so they could moniter me and rehydrate me. So they stoped the contractions and pumped me up with fluids and sent me home. The next day I went to my normal NST (none stress test) where they moniter the babies hearts and see if I am having contractions. Contractions were zero so they sent me home. Later that night Cameron asked me if I wanted to go over to our friends house with them because I was going star crazy. We got there and I was kicking back in the Lazy boy talking to my friend and I felt something wet. I was thinking what the heck did I just pee my pants so I said um this is weird I think my water just broke. I stood up and sure enough the liquid just kept coming I was freaked out and started crying. Rachel ran up and told Cameron. I thought it was weird that my water broke because not alot of peoples do. Well both of my waters had broken. So we called Labor and delivery and told them I was on my way in that I was 34 weeks pregnant with twins and my water had broken. So we went in got me all checked in and since I had been in a few times before didnt need to register. They checked the positions of the babies and Ian had made is way into a heads down postion but little Landon still sat breech. Happy Earth day? No wait Happy Birthday babies! At 12:13 a.m and Landon John 4lbs 9oz and 12:14 a.m Ian Mark 5lbs 2oz were born C-section on April 22nd 2010. It all happend so fast but now I have two beautiful Identical twin boys. Landon and Ian both can breath on their own,have been from the time of birth. They were in isolets at first to keep their body temps up, but are now in open cribs. It was a short stay in the Isolets. They have feeding tubes but are getting better at taking their bottles. We are just waiting for them to take 48 hours of strait bottles feedings without their tubes to help them to come home. They continue to gain weight about an oz a day and are doing well. We just want them home soon. We are hoping for mothers day? That would be a wonderful gift. Its up to the babies. Come on babies you can do it.

Wow are they growing or what?

2010-04-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

The babies are currently weighing in at 3 pounds 15 oz and 4 pounds 12 oz @ 33 weeks! The doctors say they are doing awesome and say to keep doing what im doing blasted bed rest. Almost 34 weeks and the doctor at materal fetal medicine wants me to have them by 36 weeks but my doctor is thinkin 38 or 39 im thinking I like the 36 week mark alot more I feel like im gonna burst open. As long as my babies are healthy though I will be happy with either.

Baby update

2010-04-08T19:18:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been so long I would use the excuse of I have just been so busy but the truth is I havent been busy at all. At 30 weeks I got put on bedrest due to my darn blood pressure and swelling of my feet. My doctor sent me right to labor and delivery to get monitered for a few hours because my blood pressure was 180 which is very high. She put me on bedrest and said were taking you out of work and putting you to bed for oh only the rest of my pregnancy ( and it was going by so quickly untill now) Now its going by a tid bit slow. Im 32 1/2 weeks now. When they sent me to labor and delivery they also gave me steroid shots to help mature the babies lungs faster and better. Man did those ever hurt. Im going to my doctor weekly now and getting an NST done weekly (None stress Test where they moniter my blood pressure and the babies heartbeats and to see if I am having any contractions for about an hour.) And ultrasounds to check growth and development every other week. I am so very thankful for our insurance they have covered all of my prenatel care. Thank goodness or these children would already be very pricy. They have tended to like to be in breech position meening feet or butt down. Which is not what I want because that means a c-section. So mommy keeps praying the flip. I kind of think they might be workin on it cause man have a been hurting these past few days. Its getting harder to walk or roll over in bed heart burn comes almost immediatly upon laying down and frequent bathroom trips are a must. I have lost all sight of my feet seeing as I am measuring 41 weeks now. Sometimes I wonder if my stomach can stretch much more the stretch marks are there to prove it. ehhhhhhh good thing I dont plan on showing off my stomach. All is going well though and I am glad everything is looking good with them 3 lbs 4oz and 3lbs 7oz and still growing which is awesome they are measuring the same of a normal single baby pregnancy. Just thought I would update you really fast I will post pictures soon!

The Little boys now weigh in at 2 pounds 2oz and 2 pounds 8oz . 27 weeks along

Quick update ~ Thank you~ and Question

2010-02-22T15:08:00.000-08:00

Thank you everyone for the advice very much helpful! Now on to the next subject diapers I have pretty much narrowed down what kind of diapers and wipes I like since I work in the infant room at daycare I have changed many little butts with many diffrent diapers. I have decided I really like Huggies But the Little snugglers ones there is a diffrence I can tell ya that much. But I am also wondering if the Kirkland diapers work well I have been thinking they are pretty comparable to Huggies. Let me know but do not tell me luvs are the best because im sorry i will totally disagree with you im sorry lol. Anyways I will keep you updated for sure.Im going in every two weeks for Ultrasounds lots of fun to see the little guys grow and see how much they weigh Im 26 weeks now and one is weighing 1 pound 12 ounces and the other 1 pound 13 ounces. Good job little guys keep growing!

Small update

2010-02-16T14:11:00.000-08:00

So everything is still going well just working my butt off still and being lazy at the same time im 25 weeks now and im feeling our little boys move more and more inside of me Little Butterflys or as Lottie would say Little Guppies lots of fun. We registered for just about everything we thought two little boys would need and are getting more and more excited although we honestly have not bought much for them yet. I guess there is still some time for that though.

Do not go to Oquire Hills Vetrinary and grooming

2010-01-20T06:25:00.000-08:00

I took my shitzu Oliver to get groomed on December 29th. You may be saying wow that was a while ago why are you still talking about it? I will tell you why well apparently they cut Oliver on his balls but failed to tell me so about a week later I am looking at him and trying to figure out what the crap is wrong with his balls well they had failed to tell me they cut him so while I could have helped him faster I had no clue what was going on well he had been licking them and making them worse and worse. To top that off Oquire Hills Vetrinary and Grooming wont do a thing about it. They at least owe me an apology and offer to give me my money back or some sort of compensation to make up for the pain and stress of my dog. If I sound a little ridiculous im sorry im not being ridiculous at all this never should have happend. Thanks much Callie Owen

And they are...

Interesting things that happen while your pregnant...

2009-11-17T19:43:00.000-08:00

1. I have been very blessed not to be puking my guts up every day, Just nausea that comes easily, after 12 weeks of this I found these amazing things called Preggie Pops at Motherhood Maternity they take away the nasea. Wow amazing! I suggest these!

2.You have to pee all the time not even kidding you I swear all the time.Why is that?

3.Almost all foods are disgusting except for the cravings of fruity stuff and Cafe Rio all the time, half the time im not even hungry and then there are the times that I am hungry all the time.(Lunch meat is a no no its gag puke)

4. Tired much??? Oh I am all the time! I could sleep for endless days.

5. Emotions run high and guess what I find myself forgetting stuff all the time. Thank goodness for a cell phone which I put all my important things in so it reminds me.

2009-06-29T11:29:00.000-07:00

So Cameron and I celebrated our first anniversary well we had planned to go camping well we went to the movies and saw The Proposal and then went out to wingers for dinner I had never been there if you ever go there get the sticky finger wrap oh so good! We enjoyed it so much! So then we ran home and grabbed the rest of the camping stuff and went up to find a spot guess what? Because it was fathers day weekend all the spots were gone! So we went by the lake and laid on a blanket on top of our car and watched the stars. So that was all good
Things that could possibly go wrong in one week.... Normally we have pretty good luck but for some reason last week was just a week of misfortune.

Bad things that happened this week

Video card on laptop goes out on sunday,Now we have no laptop
My phones pearl on my Blackberry wigs out, Lost all my phone contacts
Found out I had to get 8 Cavities filled
Had to cancel our debit cards due to someone charging them without permission.
Got half my cavities filled after being jabbed in the face with shots and getting laughing gas
Found out I would be losing my job

Good things that happened

Found a new Job I am starting tuesday working at a daycare full time now from 9a.m to 6:30 pm so excited!
My new replacement phone came
I have a husband who loves me
etc I forgot the rest for now

Can't believe its already been a year!

2009-06-19T11:11:00.001-07:00

Its amazing at how fast time goes by! It seems like it was only yesterday that I was walking down the isle but I look as the months have flown by. Looking back at memories our honeymoon, opening our wedding gifts, our first camping trip together, me getting incredibly sick, birthdays and hollidays shared. Watching friends get married as well. Sharing our first church callings together and Cameron becoming an Elder. Our first apartment toghether. It has been an amazing year and I am so grateful to have such an amazing husband. We will be getting sealed in the temple soon for time and all eternity and I am so grateful for that blessing. I am so thankful for such an incredible husband over the year I have watched him become more and more of a man and less of a boy. So to Cameron and I lets celebrate this joyous occasion!

I was so excited to make this

2009-06-11T15:37:00.001-07:00

So I was browsing around on blogs and I often get on my moms blog and look at all her friends blogs as well. I came accross this project it was on Michelle Lowery's page! I thought it was absolutly adorable and a very clever idea of course hers is diffrent looking then mine and better looking. I fell in love with this idea she said she had thought of it because she had wanted a piece of art work in her bedroom but large art work is pricey. So she came up with this wonderful idea. Like Michelle I took wanted a piece of art work but mine I wanted in my dining area. So I went to dollar tree and picked out 9 wood frames all the same and then went to hobby lobby and bought the scrap book paper for the frames and black paint and ribbon the ribbon is so you dont have to put 9 holes in your wall. I loved making this and love how it looks the great thing about this is you can customize it however you want and the best part is it cost under $20.00 to make!

Slowly but surly we are getting a hang of it!

2009-06-08T11:50:00.000-07:00

Well I think its established Oliver knows the word Potty. Now if we say "Oliver do you need to go potty?" If we do not pick him up and take him up he looks up at me and goes potty. Today I said "Oliver do you need to go potty?" I opened up the door and told him to come on so we could go potty he comes out and before I get the chance to pick him up he decides to pee. Oh well right at least slowly but surly he is getting the hang of it! That's a milestone. Oliver also got his 12 week shots the other day! He is growing like a weed! Cameron and I want him to stay the size he is but be trained!

Up Up and Away...

2009-06-03T11:01:00.000-07:00

So Saturday Cameron and I joined his family in going to see the movie Up! in 3D that was a fun experience I had been looking forward to seeing it since I had very first seen the previews for it! I loved it, but unfortunately did not think it as good as it should have been.I was a little disappointed. After we went to the mall and had some dinner. We then went to the Styx and Reo Speedwagen concert. It was good I knew some of the songs but it was a little long because I had never been to a concert before and I did not know all of their songs. It ended up being almost 4 hours long. It had decided to downpour on us before the concert so needless to say we were cold and wet at Rio Tinto Stadium. We had fun though thanks Doug and Anna for the day out of the house we needed it. On Sunday it was pretty typical and then we went over to my parents for dinner. Today Oliver decided he did not want to go back to bed so we got up and cleaned up the house a little and then I decided to go on a walk it was very refreshing and just what I needed. Its amazing all the little things you notice when your walking and not driving. I wish I lived closer to some places so I could walk and enjoy more things in life. Its amazing how when you don't have as much as some people you become very grateful for all the small things in life. Everything has a bigger meaning. You come to realize that material objects don't make you any happier. You learn to love the small and wonderful things of life.

Captain Obvious

2009-05-27T10:19:00.000-07:00

The other day when my husband and I were watching Small ville I pointed out something and he was like "No way Captain Obvious!" Apparently I point thinks out that are pretty obvious all the time but I can't help that I like to be observant. So I have been watching myself and I really do point out really obvious things all the time its probably because I don't want to miss out on anything. Also let me point out something else thats very obvious. Last blog I posted I messed up very much. Lets just say I did not mean for the letters to be gigantic. So sorry about it I promise I swear it was a good post. So I hope everyone had an amazing memorial weekend! I def cant complain about mine. Friday we decided we were going to go camping so I pulled out all of the stuff and then decided to go to my friend Heidi's Saturday we were going to go camping at my grandma and grandpas farm after that but Cameron ended up having to stay home with Oliver because for some stupid reason she would not let Oliver come with. So then we were gonna camp Sunday night to Monday but guess what it ended up raining alot so we stayed home and watched movies and ate breakfast for dinner. Monday Cameron went fishing and I went to my moms to watch her make a bag of Oliver to ride in. We later had a yummy dinner of Hot dogs and Potato salad. We went and experienced the 2nd Night at the museum. Very interesting much better then the first. So there is my weekend sorry its not very exciting lol I don't really have any amazing pictures or crafts to blog about at the moment.

Much like Cinderella...

2009-05-19T12:07:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, there lived near the capital city of a large kingdom a very worthy gentleman and his beautiful and amiable young wife. They loved each other tenderly, and they had not been wedded long before there was a pretty little girl baby in the nursery. For a time, both parents were very happy, but their joy did not last forever. Just as the daughter was growing up into a fair and lovely girl, the mother fell ill and died.After a while, the father married again. Unhappily, the choice he made this time was not a good one. The lady he married was very rich, but proud and ill-tempered, and she had two grown-up daughters of exactly her own disposition.

The marriage was no sooner over than the new wife began to be very harsh toward her step-child, whose gentle and loving disposition caused the behavior of her own daughters to appear even more detestable than before. She made her do all the hard work of the house; scrub the floor, polish the grates, answer the door, wait at table, and wash up the plates and dishes.

In some way we are much like Cinderella little girls who grow up and become wifes. We do dishes, sweep,mop and do other misc house projects. We play Cinderella every days of our lives little did we know that we would actually grow up and become the wonderful beautiful Cinderella we all read about and watched in the movie. We are all Princess with our Prince. The temple is our castle and if we all go there we get our Happily Every After. But only if doing the appropriate things to get there. I was talking to my friend on FB today and I asked her what she was up too? She replied"Just folding laundry playing Cinderella again. This inspired me and made me think wow we really are like Cinderella maybe we don't have an evil step mother or sisters but we all have something evil in our life. Cinderella was always the better person. We can look up to her and act as she did kind, gentle and loving.

A little darkness

2009-05-18T11:13:00.000-07:00

After I heard Oliver crying to go potty I got up and went to flip on the kitchen light and the circuit breaker blew we flipped the circuit breaker and without success the lights in the dinning area, bathroom, bedrooms ,and closet would not come on. All of the electrical outlets did however still work. So yesterday Callie showered by night light and candles (always knew I loved candles) So I am very great full for the light bulb I enjoy having light in my home and not being in the dark things are harder to do in the dark. They are supposed to be coming to fix and figure out what the problem is today! I hope they can fix it! Needless to say I don't look the cutest today due to getting ready in the dark! :)

Blonde Jokes... Um I still don't understand the first one

2009-05-13T12:10:00.000-07:00

Got a joke 4 you. "A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?" The blonde replies, "Early this morning i got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away." The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "why don't you go home for the day? Take the day off to relax and rest. "Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and have a better chance of doing that here." The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work usual. A couple of hours pass and her boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically. "What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" He asks."No!" exclaims the blonde. "I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too." :)

A blonde was shopping at Target and came across a shiny, silver thermos. she was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was. the clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos...it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold." Wow! said the blonde, "That's amazing! I'm going to buy it." So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that?" he asked. "Why, that's a thermos...it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied. Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?" The blonde replied... Two Popsicles and some coffee."

A blonde was driving home after a game and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tailpipe. Nothing happened. so she blew a little harder, and still nothing happened. Her blonde roommate saw her and asked, "What are you doing?" The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. The roommate rolled her eyes and said, "Duh, like...HELLO! You need to roll up the windows first"!

Did yhou hear about the near-tragedy at the mall? there was a power outage, and three blondes were stuck on the escalator for more than four hours.

Carol and Donna were doing some carpenter work on a Habitat For Humanity house. Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in. Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?" Carol explained, "When i pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end and i throw them away." Donna got completely upset and yelled, "You moron, those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!" :)

Who we are???

2009-05-12T11:48:00.000-07:00

Is it not interesting how we all grow up? We all are born then we slowly learn how to do things for ourselves such as hold our head up, roll over and crawl. Before you know it we are walking, learning how to talk and getting into just about everything. We soon are going to preschool next kindergarten. We slowly make friends. We learn how easily it is to be betrayed by those friends get hurt by them as well. Pretty soon we come home from school crying over hurt feeling, mean words, being left out. We soon learn to hide those feelings a little better we grow out of hurtful words and actions and learn to ignore those who have done so to us. Way to soon we go on to Jr. High and have to really learn to stick up for ourselves. This is a time where we learn more responsibilities yes we may make mistakes but we learn from them and grow stronger. We learn that if our teacher says our project is due on Monday they really mean it is due on Monday. We grow into our own clicks and go into High School different then we came into Jr.High. We know how to dress ourselves, eat, go places, do our schoolwork and many other things. We make new friends in High School as well. We do however change during those years of High School and become new people decided what we want to do with our futures some may not know yet but thats alright. Some may have the rest of their lives planned out. Some may get married some may become famous doctors,nurses, and teachers. Who we are when we leave High School shapes a lot of who we become later on in life. We probably wont always be friends with a lot of the people you were in High School or even College. Its ok though as you go through life you learn how to shape yourself and define who you are you know who will make a positive influence who you can trust or who will just plain irritate you. You learn that friends don't always matter. Suddenly you find yourself hanging out with your love and family. Learning and growing more teaching yourself new things continually. We will always be changing and evolving into newer and greater beings who are incredible. We are all individuals and some of us individuals just don't get along any more. Although I challenge you to always be seeking for that person who needs their day brightened or change you might just change or save a life. You never know who you will influence. People watch your actions more closely then you would think. So there is my little piece of my mind I felt like sharing with you today, who knows if anyone will get anything out of it but it helped me feel much better.

My incredible mom

2009-04-28T10:09:00.000-07:00

This is my mom I am so proud of her and lover her so much.I am amazed at everything she has always done for me my brother and my father. She basically raised us alone due to my father always traveling supporting the family. I can imagine it was probably hard on her a lot. My mother although never failed to provide everything that we needed clothes and food. She stayed at home with us when we were kids so we would not have to go to daycare and made sure her job that she got when we got older and where in school all day allowed her to be off the same time that we were. She loved having my friends come over and my friends all love her very dearly.My mom is amazing we went and did things together. I remember how much fun we would have when we would go camping with her my brother and my grandma. We would go up to my Grandma Bohman's and help her out when my Grandma still could we would take her shopping. I remember all the times I would come home from school as a little girl crying because of how mean the other kids were to me, she would always sit me down and tell me just ignore them sweetie they have no idea what they are talking about or they are just jealous so they want to be mean to you. My mom when I was a little girl would sew me clothes and I did not know it at the time but apparently all the little girls wanted my moms clothes. I remember our matching outfits and oh did I mention the Barbie clothes she made me. When I got older and started dating my mom would wait up for me to get home and then we would talk until late thats just how we were. My mom and I fought a little as I was a teenager but its only because we are so much alike, I swear we can read each others minds sometimes. Now that I have gotten married and move out I appreciate my mommy so much more. I love you mom so much and just wanted to let you know that.
Your one and only Daughter Callie

2009-04-27T09:52:00.000-07:00

So since its almost May and Callie is feeling super hyper and extremely happy on this wonderful Monday morning she has been inspired to do something. I was watching my favorite show as I do every weekday morning at 9 a.m on channel 13. They reminded me that swimsuit short weather is right around the corner. So my new amazing goal is too lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks. That should be nothing right? Well we will see. I bet I can do it. I am super excited.

The cat and Chicken Fajitas

2009-04-21T11:22:00.000-07:00

So I wanted to make chicken Fajitas yesterday so I went to the store and bought some sour cream and tortillas I was orgininally going to make the tortillas but ran out of time.(Not to mention I dont have a rolling pin.) So I got home and put the tortillas on the microwave ate some lunch and went and got cameron from work came home and guess what my little black cat Salem had gotten the tortillas and had shredded them all over our bedroom.This morning he did the same but with a mint brownie thing I had set out from the freezer last night thanks for that one Salem you saved me those calories but I was mad about the tortillas luckily I managed to save some so we could have your yummy Fajitas for dinner. So now days when I leave and he is not in his cage we have to put everything he could shred and eat away. Wow my cats in for a rude awakaning when my puppy comes home next week. Turns out the cat might not be king after all.

One week later...

2009-04-20T10:18:00.000-07:00

I know I probably should not be blogging about this yet but it has been one week since I have drank Soda or any Carbonated drinks.This is really good for me no wait ...AMAZING!!! I typically give up but not this time I am determined not to drink it. At first I was having caffiene withdrawels major headaches but now I am starting to feel better and after just a week I have noticed changes in my body call me crazy but I swear its true. Also recently my mother in law took me to my house to get my bike, and bring it out to my appartment as soon as that weather started looking pretty I started riding saturday I went on a 3 mile ride on the Jordan river parkway I rode around a little just for fun yesterday and am planning on going on the Jordan River Parkway again. So much fun and its a great workout.

So guess what I did...

2009-04-17T10:12:00.000-07:00

So I was unloading the dishwasher yesterday and putting items away in their various spots they go in, and I found my cooked vegetables I had made to go with dinner on oh Tuesday. Wow boy was I surprised. I really was disappointed cause I had planned on eating those oh well my bad maybe next time I will remember to put them in the fridge and not in the cupboard. So after finding those in the cupboard I called my mom and had to tell her about it but I am pretty sure she was still laughing about my Esp n moment lol. You see the other day I called her and was talking to her and was like mom we must have espn she was like don't you mean we can read each others minds cause neither of us have that television station. We have always kind of had some sort of telepathic thing going on with each other we always new what was going on or I would call my mom and she would be like I was just thinking I should call you. Or like last night I had plans to go hang out with my sister in law but her husband got really sick so we canceled and I called my mom and was like is that offer still standing to go with you tonight to your Relief Society program funny thing is she was just thinking of calling me too see if I still had plans. I guess we are just so cool like that. Well my mom pulled a mean but instead of vegis it was the turkey she accidentally left it on the counter all day while she was at work so she had to throw it out! I guess we are just so cool like that. I love you mom :) Anyways so at 3 this morning my cat decided that he had an accident and was crying (meowing) load enough for the whole word to hear so I got up to see What was going on well sure enough he did not want to sleep in a bed with well lets just say disgusting beyond disgusting stuff in it. So guess what Callie got to do? Scrub out his cage and put his blanket in his wash change his cat litter and oh the best part I got to give my silly pain in the but cat a bath at 3 in the freakin morning oh so much fun! :) (not really) lets just say I am kind of tired today. But never fear I am in a great mood today! True story.

What a fantasy ...

2009-04-09T12:05:00.001-07:00

When I was a little girl I used to dream of my wedding, having a house, car, animals, and enjoying and living happily ever after with my wonderful husband. Well I am living happily ever after with my wonderful husband in our cute apartment in Bluffdale. With our cat, hamster, and soon we will have a dog. I love life and everything in it except for bills. I swear you work work work and its all spent before you can even see it. No little girl ever thinks oh life is so expensive oh well I guess thats just how its going to have to be and I thank the lord every day for lower gas prices and places to shop such a Walmart. Apparently everyone says it starts out a little rocky and gets better. Well I think everything is amazing bound to get better and better. Life is such a gift and we take it for granted. Wanting everything we don't already have and forgetting about the wonderful things we do have. I have so many blessings, I forget to count them.

Texting and Rude People what a mix...

2009-04-08T10:24:00.000-07:00

So I have a pet peave, I mean I am sure we all have them but this one really gets too me! Why do I always have to be the first one to text you? I mean its not that hard to pick up your phone and go Hey good morning. Some people know how to do it but others who don't well guess what it drives me crazy. So starting right now for a week if you wanna talk to me you better text or call first cause I need a break apparently we as people are too busy running around our lives for a short and simple HELLO or How are you doing? You never know what you might say your text, call, message whatever might make someones day so lets make some time for each other. You never know your text or call or whatever might be this persons last. Oh also never be rude, rude people just plain suck. Come on nothing more fun then to pick up your phone and you see something rude. So not cool. What a mix texting and rude people. Can't stand it makes me want to yell. Thanks Briley for texting me Thank you this morning. She woke me up or I would have been late for work ha ha

What Thin Women Know

2009-04-06T11:28:00.000-07:00

They don't diet, dont't count calories, and don't deprive themselves. Heres how you can do the same. I am going to state some pieces right fromt he article and some of my own opinions you let me know what you think, thoughts, feelings, opinions!

I read this amazing story in Good Houskeeping April 2009 edition. Its called What Thin Woman Know... I found this very inspiring and very true... Velerie Frankel states "I wish I had a dime for every hour I've wasted thinking about my weight, obsessing about food'ruining spectacular binges.Like many perpetual dieters, my thoughts about these subjects alwasy plaed the same notes guilt, shame, panic." Dont we all wish we had a dime for every time we did or thought waste our time about those things.

1. When eating, focus on the food, Don't let distraction- Tv, e-mail-take away the experience. I would have to agree when your watching T.V you mindlessly shovel the food in your mouth hardly tasting all the amazing flavors and savoring the taste.Study's have shown if the T.V is off you are more likely to be left satisfied therefore leaving you full faster= consuming less calories.

2.Let hunger happenA pang is not an emergency signal from your stomach or a call to shoverl food into your mouth. It's a gentle riminder to eat.

3.Indulge-deliberately Go ahead and eat that 9one0 cookie, as long as it's exactly the one you crave. If you eat other then what you crave you just mindlessly eat and eat and nothing seems to satisfy that craving before you know it you have consumed a whole truck load of calories.

4.Slow down My skinny daughter Maggie , and my slim husband, STever, linger over meals and take breaks; I tend to plow through my food, untensils flashing, until every bit is gone. I am one of these people like Valerie who forgets to enjoy their food the wonderful tastes forgets it's not a race to see who finishes first.

5.Exercise every day Thin peopple excercise the way heavy people diet. It's what they do, have always done, will continue to do, as a part of dalily life. Ft- thinkers see exercise as, at best, an unwelcome temporaty chore to grunt through until the day after the high school reunion \.

6. Socialize on your feet Thin people make plans to "do something." Fat-thinkers make plans "for dinner."

7.Give yourself a break Overeating or skipping a workout does not send thin people into a panic. They forgive themselves, Accept IMPERFECTION,AND INSTANTLY RESUMER THEIR LIVES. fAT-THINKERS SLIDE DOWN A SHAME SPIRAL THAT LEADS TO PIG- OUTS, SLOTH-AND MORE GUILT.

8.Exercise for fun Like kids, thin adults feel the innate joy of movement and activity. They seek out new and exciting ways to get their limbs moving and hearts pumping.

9.Create space in your mind where negative fat- think thoughts used to be If you didn't brood about dieting or being overweight, how much mental room would you gain? Thin-thinkers have the mental expanse to day dream,plan outfits, rehearse important converstations,write funny facebook updates, and who knows what else.

I love these tips because I (Callie) find myself alot of times a fat thinker I find myself eating dinner and I am fine but when it comes to dessert it just tastes so good that I can't say one is enough. I lvoe Valerie's ideas of becoming a thin -thinker instead of a fat-thinker. I want to challenge myself to think thin. Another thing that struck me is my husband went to priesthood the other night for General Conference and one of the speakers was talking about how much the youth and people these days focus on their outward appearence. Too many young women watch the media and think that they need to be super thin that they need to diet all the time to look down on themselves, when God sent us down to Earth to recieve the body that we have. Why can't we just be happy with the body we have??? That hit me very hard because I find myself all the time picking my body apart finding all my flaws instead of my good qualities. If we are this much of a mess with ourselves already what are our children going to think? What will our world become? I want to work harder on being thankful for the beautiful body I have been giving be more of a thin thinker and focus on more important things other then the number on the scale. No ones going to know unless you tell them.People look at you like you are a more fun and beautiful person if they think your happy with yourself if you have a posative outlook on life and enjoy and embrace every moment and everything you have. I am inspired it was a thinking weekend for me and I am very glad I did.Maybe this makes no sense to you at all maybe it does but I hope you like it. Or maybe you just think im a crazy lady babbling on and on. That was my big thought for the day.

The Wii

2009-03-31T12:15:00.000-07:00

I absolutly love the Wii it is a game system that I can somewhat play not to mention it gives you a workout at the same time. I was watching T.V last night and got bored so I decided to play the Wii! I love to box on it I think that is my favorite part! I would eventually like a Wii fit but not yet they cost alot of money!

Lets try and try again...

2009-03-30T11:54:00.000-07:00

I failed majorly last week so guess what I get to do again this week oh Try Try again this week I can do it I know I can I will have 20 pounds lost by summer. Giving up sugar and junk food is hard it takes much effort and you have to avoid it all the time. I was givin a can of Slim fast my mom did not want any more and have been trying that we will see how that goes I think it will be good I do better on more structured diets. Not really diets a more healthy way to live to go about life. My friend Kathy comes into the gym I work at and we work out together she comes a couple times a week it makes it more fun

HELP!!!

2009-03-27T10:10:00.000-07:00

I need support I am seriously struggling im such a sugaraholic I need some serious help some punishments something. I need to stay motivated... Its upsetting when you try super hard and you strugle and all you want to do it be able to quit it. I know I can do it I just need to keep it up. Leslie thanks for the tip on www.fitday.com I hope that will help me track my progress.

Pull out the dukes and cute swimsuits hot body on its way...

2009-03-25T10:02:00.000-07:00

Thank you so much to a very dear friend Mrs. Leslie Lee. This girl has inspired me to get off my lazy butt and get to work! Why not have our old bodies back who says that babies and husbands have to change our bodies forever! Guess what they dont! I have been seriously motivated and am now thinking about things before I shove them in my mouth. Is candy even good for you??? Sure I think for special treats but not every day like us Americans have become used too. Yesterday I did really well I had oh 3 fruit snacks and guess what I punished myself and worked out on the Wii after what a punishment I know huh??? I am right along with Leslie no Junk if I do what she is doing hopefully I can lose about 2 pounds a week as well but of course like she said sometimes our bodies are dumb.(I could not agree more).

It did not turn out how I wanted it to decorating wise but whatever I thought I did pretty well!

I love my new washer it is so convient not to have to take my wash any where or have a specific day where I have to have it all dont( thats what had to happen while I was living with my in laws! Apparently my kitty loves my new washer and dryer too he sits in front of the washer and watches the washer spin through the clear window on it.

BBQ chicken dinner

2009-03-01T14:11:00.000-08:00

Ok so my husband has decided with me this is an amazing way to eat chicken...

If you have time to spare in your crock pot put BBQ Sauce in it with as many defrosted chicken breast as you would like to prepare put your crock pot on low and cook for 4 hours. I would turn the chicken over at 2 hours just to make sure it cooks evenly. If you do not have as much time to spare brown your chicken on the stove in a frying pan first and then put your BBQ sauce in and put your crock pot on High for 2 hours turning the chicken over at the 1 hour mark.

Garlic cheesy mashed potatoes go great with this meal just add garlic and cheese to taste. Also we like vegis with parmesan cheese on top of them this makes a delicious and affordable meal.

My husband is such a sweetheart... look what he brought me...

2009-03-01T14:03:00.000-08:00

Updated bathroom!

2009-03-01T13:54:00.000-08:00

Oh little kids are so cute and I love my dear little cousins so much. On saturday I watched Robyn (4)and Gracie(6 months) while her mother went out to a family dinner they are so cute! They were very well behaved we had mac and cheese and chocolate cupcakes for dinner well Gracie had formula but me and Robyn enjoyed our dinner. We also watched Carebears all night oh how much fun. I love watching them but when it comes down to it im glad they are not mine lol I am very glad to have some time with my wonderful hubby! Give me a few years and we might have a baby!

~CHRISTMAS DAY~

2008-12-29T18:54:00.000-08:00

It was a wonderful 2008 Christmas filled with much love and joy and plenty of snow to think I was worried we would not have a White Christmas boy was I wrong! We got over a foot of snow and then it just kept coming down! I feel so blessed to have a warm house to stay in away from this bitter cold! I hope you all had a wonderful christmas as well . I know we are all feeling very blessed you see in August my father in law lost his job of many years he worked for Kimberly Clark they relocated to Mexico because of Cheaper labor! Their house has been up for sale for a year! In the begining of December my mother in law, sister in law, and me were in a pretty bad car accident I have pictures of that in an earlier posting. My mother in law found out she will not be recieving a new car and to make the month even better she was laid off the week before christmas. Camerons Grandma went up to Oregan to visit with her daughter and grandchildren for the hollidays while she has been up there she has become violently ill they ended up doing surgery due to a blockage and found a tumor we are still unsure if it is cancerous yet.The Lord must know something that we do not know because at the moment everyone is feeling a little stressed out. Thank goodness someone adopted the family for Stuff for Santa for Christmas and all of the childrent were plenty spoiled for christmas. I sometimes get worried about where I will live what will happen but I just need to remember to trust the Lord even though I am scared out of my mind. So if you would not mind please keep us all in your prayers. Thanks

Its almost Christmas...
