Twilight addict!!

Ok so I went to Utah a few weeks ago and my girlfriend introduced me to Twilight! She told me it was a really good book that I had to read it. Well it wasn't long before I heard more and more about how Great it really was. So I knew I had to get this book. Wow, thats a big book, I've never read one that big.... no time ya know. Ha Ha Ha! It's been 12 days and I'm now on book 4!!! I'm an addict! I can't stand that it's coming to an end! I'm seriously in love w/ a vampire! I've been a serious slacker of a mom too! What has happened to me?? The movie is out in december, I think I need to come back to utah for this event of a life time lol!!
BTW, I had a great time seeing all my friends, I love you all and wished I could have seen the ones I missed! Maybe in December?!
I got to see Sweet Brynn, she's just a doll! I hate that I'm so far away from them! Laura is a great mom!
I'll try to update more often, maybe after my head is out of Forks! LOL

Like me or Not!!!

I'm NikiJo! I'm 35, 5'0 short brown hair, brown eyes. I love to watch football and Nascar. I love mustangs and camaros. I miss the 80's, they rocked! I love horses and rodeos and PBR!! I teach water aerobics twice a day and I'm taking sign language classes. Not to foget that I also homeschool my 16 yr old daughter! Who needs all that drama in high school, right!!! I'm a straight shooter and HATE BS!! I tell it like it is, and sometimes to a fault! I've gotten more assertive I think as I've gotten older. And as for those that have known me through the years, you know that I wasn't all that shy about my thoughts to begin with! Now, me as the mom..Well I have 6 kids, 3girls and 3boys! 16,12,9,7,5,and 3!! Plus a foriegn exchange student here and there! Crazy? Yes some say I am, but I like to think I handle things quite well! And I'm NEVER bored and chaos is NOT an option! Now, Me as a wife... I've been married 14 yrs to my complete opposite!!! Therefore, we have VERY well rounded children!!! LOL
Me in a Nut shell! Like me or not!

Don't ya wanna just kiss those cheeks!!

Congrats to Laura and Jesse!!!

Brynn was born at 11:01 pm on the 6th. They are all home now and doing great. What a great mothers day gift!!!

Disney World Last Week!

Well we all survived the 12 hour drive down and back! It was a great week, the kids did great and the weather was perfect!! Although Kirk thought the lines were a bit much I thought they were tolerable. The longest we waited was 50 minuted for the Tower of Terror. But that was our fault for not getting the fast pass. We learned our lesson after that.
I took lots of pictures too, for those that really know me know that I'm not much of a picture taking person. So I am quite excited to make an album.
No, not a scrap book I'm not that talented. But I will make a slide show to show some of the off. Dakota is in most of them, not because shes a camera hog but shes the only one who doesn't mind getting her picture taken. So if I saw something scenery wise I needed a person in it and she would be like "ok!" So you'll see her alot : )
Oh, a bragging moment... for those that don't know it theres a roller coaster called Aerosmiths rock and Roll Coaster and it is WILD. In the Dark, twists and turns and 2 upsidedowns. Well Ammon, he is 7 went on it w/ me!!! He laughed the whole way thru! I was soo proud of him!!! And Hannah, she just turned 5 on the 23rd of May, went on this ride called soaring, it takes you up in the air and really makes you think your Soaring over top mountains, lakes, rivers and oceans! It's very cool but a bit scary and she did it!!! And wanted to do it again!! Cool huh!!
Anyways it was an awesome vacation! But now I'm sick.... I think all that go go go finally caught up to me. Blah! Oh by the way for those that know I had a dr.s Appt yesterday for my heart echo and stress test, I think it went ok, I go to the dr,s today for a follow up and will start wearing the monitor for 21 days on wednesday. So hopefully we'll get answers soon. I'll keep you posted! Oh and Laura has yet to have her baby!!! 3 days over!!! Shes sooo done! Poor baby. She goes to the doctors in a few hours
So we'll see.... I can't wait to go out there in july! See ya then Laura!!
