My Flava'

I'm Rocky Road
I'm dramatic and unpredictable, like biting into a scoop of rocky road ice cream. Like rocky road, I can be a little bit nutty (or a little bit marshmallowy) depending on my mood. My friends never know what they're going to get when they hang out with me. Sometimes I'm calm and sweet, and sometimes I'm enthusiastic and flirty. Give it a try...what flavor are you?

Pokemon Wars

Today Brittan and I played a mean game of Pokemon. It was a battle to see who's pokemon was the tornament champion. Like any other 6 year old the rules changed as we played, but it was fun. Here's a picture of it all in the heat of the battle

Here's a picture of Brittan's team...very intimidating

Here's a picture of my team...notice the sad face on picachu

Here's Brittan telling his guys what to do and telling me how my guy was going to die. As you can imagine it was a VERY fair match. In the end Brittan came out victorious and my guy died like a billion times and as it goes in Pokemon world if you win, you win your apponent's pokemon. So not only did I lose every match but in the end I was left with nothing. Not even my guy.

And here is the mastermind behind the game....

Ode to Braxton

Okay so my oldest nephew, Braxton, who is 14 was really upset that I never post anything about him and said I only post things about Bronson. I told him it was because Bronson is cuter! jk Well, here is a post ALL about him. Over Easter weekend Braxton went to St. George for a ball tornament and here are some of the pictures.

He normally isn't this serious. He's the biggest goof ball I know. He's the kind of kid that if there is a crumb on the floor you better believe he'll be the one to trip over it. I love him anyways and he cracks me up! Here's to you Braxton!

In da Hood

Bronson is turning 11 months on the 14th. He's just so small to be so old, but he sure is cute. He weighs a whopping 12 1/2 lbs. He still hasn't made it into the percentage charts for preemies yet but we're hoping he'll make the cut next month. I can't believe he'll be a year old in May. Its crazy. They grow up way to fast and I'm not even his mom, but I love him just as much. I know a lot of you think he doesn't look that small in the pictures but there's usually nothing to compare him to so to put it into perspective Bronson is still wearing 0-3mo clothes and he's 11months. I'll try and post some pictures so you can get a better idea of his size.

These are some pictures taken at the ball park in St. George over Easter weekend. They are just so cute I couldn't resist.

Tagity Tag

Well, my wonderful friend Amy tagged me so here it goes...
10 years ago...
I was 14...that's weird. I was heavily involved in...soccer (you all thought I was going to say drugs didn't you!...well, you're wrong!) All I did was eat, drink, and play soccer. It was my life and I loved it! My sisters would probably tell you I was entering my "black death" phase were I hated everyone and everything, but I like to look at it as my intropersective years. I was starting to grow out of my tom boy phase and I think that's when I finally started growing my hair out. If you can all recall, I used to have a boys haircut and was mistaken for one all the time, but I think by this time I was starting to like boys and so I decided I shouldn't look like one
5 things on my to do list
-homework (never ending. I'm always behind)
-triathon training (thanks to Christy...i have to whip my butt into shape)
-clean my house
-go to the gym
-register my car (it's due...today)
5 snacks I enjoy
-dried mangos (sugary goodness)
-yogurt and granola
-candy (of any kind...we Hutchisons aren't picky)
-ritz toasted crackers (they are delicious)
-chips and pico de gallo (the mexican in my craves this)
5 places I've lived
I don't even think I've lived 5 places...that's pretty sad
-Pleasant View
-St. George (my true home)
-Salt Lake
What would I do with a billion dollars
Man, I would be stoked if I had a billion dollars. All my worries would go away. I would first and foremost pay off my house (after tithing of course). Then I would pay off all our debt. We have a lot...Les's buisness, cars, and school. Then I'd probably give my family some money, donate to charity, saves enough my kid's college (I know how bad it sucks to have to pay for your own) and then find some way to spend the rest. I'm with Amy all the way. Money is temporal and why not spending
5 jobs I've had
-McKay Dee Hospital (working in the kitchen)
-Sonic (in St. George, my uncle used to own it..my 1st job actually)
-Kindred Health Care (also in St. George. I used to feed the crazy old people and I love it)
-Sorenson Genomics (if you need to find out who your baby's daddy...I still have the hook ups)
-Nanny (my favorite job...most days)
5 things you don't know about me
-I secertly wish I was a female bodybuilder. most think they are really gross but I think they are beautiful and I wish I had enough discipline to achieve that level of fitness
-I have a really bad habit of only vaccuming my house once a month, which I agree is kinda gross especially with a dog (if people come over I vaccum) but I hate vaccuming.
-When I grow up all I want to be is a mom. My own mother thought I would be the one to move to New York and be some high end buisness women but really I want to do is raise a family. A part of me would love to be that type of buisness women who wears a powersuit everyday but I just want to have a kid of my own. Don't get me wrong I love taking care of my nephews but I want one of my own
-I have this weird thing with eye boogers. Dixie gets boogers in her eyes all the time and I have this thing where I can't leave them alone. I have to wipe her eyes. She hates it to no end but it's something I have to do (call it an OCD)
-I hate the sound of people brushing their teeth. It's like nails on a chalk board. I have a hard time brushing my own teeth because to me it just feels like I'm scraping my teeth so hard that they'll eventually wear down to nothing. I dunno it just erks me

I tag Marcia, Megan and Whitney

For The Love of a Pickle

So today as Brittan and I were enjoying our daily lunch, which consisted of chicken nuggets, grapes, and pickles Bronson kept trying to rip the food out of my hand. So I decided to hand him a pickle. Who would have thought that one little boy could enjoy a pickle so much.

He was stoked! He was shaking he liked it so much.

Here he is looking at me like "Why do you keep looking at me with that thing!?" (the camera) but he could care less he was way too busy eating that pickle!

Brittan decided he wanted to be in a picture so I took this shot for him

Here's Bronson after he enjoyed his pickle. Just happy to be playing and happy to have eaten a pickle.

Silly Dog

So last night I was getting ready to go to bed and I started looking for Dixie (I can't sleep without her) So there I am in my house yelling her name in a high pitch voice so she'll come running (she loves her mom) and I couldn't find her. I walked around the whole house looking for her and in our backyard but to no avail I could not find her. Then I walked into our computer room and lo and behold...there she was. Apparently she was playing hide and seek.

she was hiding in our closet full of sweaters and refused to come out
