Since I can't sleep, I thought this would be a great time to post about my mom. I've been putting this one off because I knew it was going to be so long.
I can't put in words exactly how grateful I am for her. Nothing I can say will ever be good enough, to me, to thank her for everything. I can't express how much I love her, through writing. As I am starting this post, my heart is exploding with so much that I want to say, that I may not be able to organize my thoughts well enough to express exactly what I want to say about my mom.
My mom is good at everything she does. She is the strongest person I know. She can open any pickle jar :) But seriously, she is the strongest person, in an emotional sense. I rarely see my mom cry, not because she doesn't have feelings, but because she is (private about her feelings)?. When I have seen her cry, it's usually at spiritual settings, where most of her tears are from happiness, or expressiveness for love of her family and the Savior. My mom holds herself together well, and she has learned to be an independent woman. She is classy.
I see myself having some of the same life experiences that my mom has gone through. When I get in a rut, I think, "What did mom do" or "What would mom do?" When I am having a rough day with my two kids I wonder how my mom did it. When I ask my mom how she did it, she says "I just did". For example, a recent struggle I had was that Mike was gone at officer training for 15 weeks. It was really hard, but there was a time that my dad lived in New Jersey and we lived in Utah, and my mom was basically a single mom for that little while. I can't imagine the loneliness she must have felt, because even though there are people that love you around you, the love of your life isn't there, and you need them.
My mom used to give us the answer "Because I said so" when we asked her why we had to do something. I hated that.
If I ever need advice (or even when I don't) I know that my mom will come up with a solution for any of my problems. And she will ponder on it, for sometimes days at a time, and even when I'm not thinking about it anymore, my mom will send an email out and have an answer for me.
My mom is amazing. She will do whatever she can for anyone. She has taught me how to serve others, and when you serve, you do it happily, with your whole heart.
My mom is also the best grandma. She loves to sit and read books with Calvin. She could rock my kids in a rocking chair all day long if they'd let her. She knows how to calm them down when I can't.
My mom is my best friend. She always will be. I miss her everyday. We have so much in common and I always feel the need to talk to her. I call her at least 3 times a week, but mostly every day. I love her more than she will ever know. She has been such a great example and I hope I can be just like her one day. I hope I can live up to the high standards she has set for being a mom.
Love you mom! Can't wait to see you again soon. (This sounds like my mom died, she is very much alive and well, I just love her to death I guess... :))

Recipe: Red Panang Curry
Seriously. Your taste buds will sing a happy song! Not only is this curry gluten free, but its super healthy! That's always a plus, especially at my house. If you've been to Benja's (in St George, UT) this recipe tastes VERY similar to the red curry you can order off the menu. It's missing something, and Mike and I can't figure out what it is exactly, but its still so good.
Ingredients: Serves 4-6.
2 tbsp. oil
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. grated ginger
2 tbsp. Aroy-D or Mae Anong Panang Curry Paste (I actually substituted Thai red curry paste for this.)
2 cans coconut milk (13.5 oz. each) *Trader Joe’s carries light coconut milk with has 50% less fat than regular coconut milk
1 tbsp. palm sugar (or brown sugar) I used brown sugar
1 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
1/4 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
1 cup chopped white mushrooms
1 cup chopped white/yellow onion
4 Thai basil leaves
4 oz. cubed extra firm tofu (I used chicken)
5 broccoli florets
1 cup red belpepper
10 snap peas
Assembly:
In a seasoned wok, heat oil on medium heat.
Once hot, add ginger and garlic and let cook until light brown.
Stir in curry paste.
Whisk in coconut milk, grated palm sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice and turn heat up to medium-high. *Add the lime juice little by little until it’s just how you like it. I used the entire 1 1/2 tbsp. of lime juice.
Add veggies, tofu, and basil leaves and cook until tofu is cooked completely (you can test this by cutting the tofu in half and trying a bite; if it is not cooked completely, you can taste the rawness).
Top with crushed cashews.
Happy cooking!

Recipe: Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies!
***Update: I made these cookies today. They are the best cookies I have ever made. Honestly. I probably ate just as much dough though... Seriously. I will never make a regular chocolate chip cookie again.
Wow, that is a mouthful! But these are said to be AMAZING! and I honestly haven't tried them yet, but you can bet I am going to be making them this week. Probably tomorrow. So here it is:
1Cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4Cup brown sugar
8 oz. Cream cheese (softened)
Mix those ingredients until creamy
Add in 1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
2 cups chocolate chips
Bake at 350 for 9 TO 11 minutes
Happy Baking!!!

Car Accident from Friday
So, of course, the day after I write about looking for the good in everyday things, I get in a car accident. Luckily it wasn't our fault, we were all ok, and I wasn't driving. I don't remember too much about it actually happening, but I do remember that right after it happened, I didn't know what happened and then I thought, "Oh my gosh... we just got hit by a car."
I heard Calvin start crying and looked at his face and he was really scared. I told him it'd be ok, and I got out of the car to make sure he was fine and ran over to the other car to see if she was ok. The driver was saying she was in a lot of pain. Her airbag deployed and she had a hard time breathing. She was shaking really bad, and she had bruises on her arms and little "air bag burns" that were bleeding. I hugged her and held her as she cried and she called her boyfriend. She had just bought her car. She kept saying that she had a green arrow, but I know that we had a green light because we were stopped, and it turned green and then went... So we were obviously paying attention...
The lady was making a left hand turn and we were going straight. We were stopped so luckily we hadn't been going very fast by the time it all happened.
Someone who saw it called 911 for us and then drove away. It took a while for the cops and ambulance and fire trucks to get there but they all showed up. I think probably 8 vehicles for a little accident. My friend's car wasn't damaged too bad. Just some front left bumper action, but the other car had major damage. The entire front of her car was smashed.
Once the cops showed up she was taken to the hospital on a gurney. She was definitely in a state of shock, and I realize that I sort of was too. I had a major adrenaline rush because somehow, I was totally calm and knew exactly what to do, and got it done, and made sure everyone was taken care of before I relaxed enough to make sure that I, myself, was ok. The cops pointed out the bruise that was on my neck from my seatbelt, that luckily I was wearing, because I have never been good at remembering to wear my seatbelt. It's been a couple days now and I'm extremely sore and have been having a series of bad headaches. Hopefully they will go away soon. I get a little more sore everyday. I hope Calvin isn't sore. The kids both seem to be doing well.
My friend that was driving is from the Netherlands and hasn't been here very long, so she didn't know exactly what to do or how to handle it. Her English is really good, and she is a nurse. She is a really good driver and takes really good care of her car. She kept telling me that she was so glad that I was with her. She stayed calm the whole time and I was really impressed with the way that she handled everything. And I'm lucky to have her as a friend.
Anyway, I know that accidents happen, and it wasn't anyone fault because no one would do it on purpose. But the good that came from this is that when we got Calvin out of the car, we pointed out all of the helpers, and he wasn't scared of the sirens. He was happy to see trucks and fire trucks and cop cars. He did so well, and so did Ellie. We kept saying to Calvin that everyone was there to help us and that there were a lot of good people. And of course, that everyone was ok.

Rain
Why does it seem like all the bad stuff happens at the same time? Here's an example:
Today, my husband "hooked his ride" which means he failed his flight, the day before he was supposed to solo, which pushed his solo to Tuesday. (Everyone does it at least once during pilot training, but it's really hard on their egos.) On the way home he got a flat tire. Also, today I didn't have dinner made when he got home, (this is rare).
I also notice that when we go out, both kids have to act up at the same time. It's a chain reaction of bad things.
I think that maybe once one bad thing happens we just notice all the other little crappy things, instead of focusing on the good things that happened that day. So as you noticed, my hubs had a bad day today, (I thought my day was just bland until I put some thought into it). The same day, I had a pretty good one:
I got up at 6 with Calvin, (actually 5 with Ellie because she pooped on my bed, but then I went back to sleep after I cleaned it up) then we did nothing for like 2 hours because I was so tired. He finally took a nap and so did Elle, that lasted maybe an hour tops. When they woke up, we played and ate lunch, and took a bath, and did our daily routines. Then we went to the bank. (It was in the grocery store and Calvin was so excited that he got to drive the "car" carts around. Ya know, the 20 foot long shopping carts that are impossible to turn ;)) We then decided it'd be fun to take daddy a drink, but he couldn't come out, so we just went home. Then we played outside until Mike got home, and he told us that he needed the car tomorrow, but so do I because I need to go to lunch with my flight girls and take pictures of someone else's solo flight.
Anyway, this may sound like the most boring day ever, but what I see is that I got to play with my kids, and have fun with them. Probably not a day that I will remember, or that they will remember, but it was great. When we drive on base Calvin gets so excited about every plane he sees. And he always knows how to make Ellie laugh. (She has the sweetest laugh, and the saddest cry). He gets so excited about everything, and always asks "What's that?" He loves learning. Today he learned Mike's siblings names. He gets better at talking everyday. It amazes me how big he is getting, and I'm almost sad about it.
I also noticed how perfect the weather was today and took full advantage of it. We drove with the windows down and we played outside as much as possible. Being outside is our favorite.
We had family scripture study, and family prayer. The spirit was in our home and it feels so good have those special moments with my family. Calvin wont go to bed without family prayer now, and to me, that's a gold star on my parenting chart! :) I walked back in to say goodnight to Mike and he was on his knees in personal prayer. I'm so grateful that I saw that. I love him, and I love the man that he is becoming. Our love grows stronger every single day.

Gratitude: Day ?: Honesty
I know I'm completely falling behind on my gratitude journal! I will slowly but surely catch up.
Today I'm grateful for honesty. Sometimes honesty can hurt, but it's always right.
I once read, "The greatest advantage of speaking truth is that you don't have to remember what you said." I can't tell you how much I love this quote.
I believe that the foundation of a good relationship is trust. You can't have trust without honesty.

Gratitude: The little things
I'm grateful for all the little things that happen throughout my day. My "squeezes" from Calvin, an email from my mom, a call from my sister, Ellie's sweet smile, and the cuddles I get from her. I am so grateful that when Mike comes home, he makes a little time for us before he starts studying. That little bit of family time is so precious and the very best part of my day. He is so special to me.
To me, special is such a strong word. I don't use it loosely or light, especially in this context.
I am grateful for the precious, special, little things.

Gratitude: Families (Collette Edition)
I want to express how grateful I am that I have such great in-laws. They are a shining example of the love I need to show to others. Today, October 7th 2013, they adopted a 12 year girl. They became foster parents first so that they could have her in their home while they were waiting to adopt. They love her as if she was their own. Collette came from a rough background, but she is now shown love every day and can come home knowing that she will be safe and taken care of. She is such a sweet girl. She is always there to lend a helping hand and wants what is best for everyone. She is so happy to have older siblings to be examples to her, and she is lucky to have Nicole in her home to help her with this transition. I can't say enough great things about this.
Collette is going to be sealed in the temple to our family at the end of the month. I'm so sad that I wont be able to make it but I know that families can be together forever, and for that I am grateful. I'm grateful that Collette has a home to call home, and feels like home, and will be hers forever. I'm grateful that she has won over the hearts of our family. I am grateful that she fits in so well.
Welcome to the Terry family Collette Terry. You will be loved unconditionally and there is no better place to call home, and no better people to call family. We love you and hope to see you soon.

Full Heart
I love LDS General Conference. I love that it is two times a year. I look forward to it every time. I learn so much and feel so enlightened. It's a special time.
Also, my heart is full. I just love my family so much. I love my extended family, and my own little family too. Today I talked to my parents for 30 minutes. I love talking to them. They always know exactly what to say to make me feel even better, even if I'm already happy.
Mostly my heart is full for Ellie and Calvin. I loved watching them play tonight. They are the sweetest kids and I couldn't be more blessed. I actually had a hard time putting Ellie down tonight because she was being so good, and wanted to play, but I knew she was tired and she fell right to sleep. Calvin was the same. I'm just so lucky to be their mom and get to be with them everyday. They are so precious to me. There is nothing better in the world than seeing them play together and with Mike.

Product Review: Ikea Borja Baby Spoons
For $1.49 you can have the best baby spoons on the market. It's a two pack of white and green spoons. One is long and skinny, the other short and fat.
I seriously love these. I recently started feeding Ellie baby food. These spoons are the way to go! I love the long slender one because it is the perfect size for Elle's little mouth. She likes it too!
I find that most baby spoons are too deep. These spoons are not only shallow, but they have a smooth lip so you can basically just pour the food into your child's mouth. I give these spoons 5 stars! They are so great!

Holy Shmokes.
Today was such a crazy day! It all started at 3 AM when I was changing Ellie's diaper and I had to go grab another one and she peed all over my bed, so I had to change my sheets. Then we woke up at 8:15 to get ready for a Dr appt at 9. (Ellie's 6 mo check-up). I went in to Calvin's room at 8:30 and he had peed soooo much that his diaper literally fell apart all in his crib. He bedding was soaked too! So I got him out of bed and put him straight into the tub. I got him ready to go and Ellie in her carseat and totally forgot to brush my hair- but whatever, it was in a ponytail anyway. So we get to the doc and Ellie has to get 4 shots... yay.... Then we get home, I feed the kids and put Ellie to bed, and then cleaned calvin's bedding and changed his mattress (we have a backup), and then put him down too. He sat and talked for like 20 minutes while I did the dishes. I went in to grab a sippy cup and it stunk soooo bad! He had diarrhea all over his bed! UGH! So I had to wake him up because he had fallen asleep at this point. I changed him, and cleaned his bed again, and got him back to sleep.
Then I clean some more and a friend came over to watch the kids while I go to the grocery store. I came home and thought- ok, we've been through the worst. I was supposed to watch another friend's kid at 4, but turns out, both Calvin and I were super sick. (and still are) I thought to myself, only two more hours until Mike gets home and he can help out. WRONG! he got home at six, I made dinner, then study time until he went to bed.
I have never changed so many poopy diapers or have changed the sheets so often in one month. I'm baffled. (and still sick :( )
I don't want to jinx tomorrow, so I wont say it can only get better...
Hope your day wasn't as awful as ours :)

Hope your day wasn't as awful as ours :)
