I hate Walmart. I have always hated Walmart. No matter what I buy there, it's broken. I wanted to pick up some Christmas tree balls from Sam's Club, (a very poor substitute for Costco, but the best I can do in Augusta.) Anyway they were out of the ones I wanted. I only wanted to spend 30 dollars on the whole tree. So I headed over to good old Walmart. As Dallin and I got there he told me "Oh mom, I love Walmart! It's just great!" It was at this moment I knew I have completely failed as a parent! So I pick out my 30 dollars worth of Balls, buy them and go home. As we are putting up the Christmas tree about 20% of the balls I just bought are defective! They either don't come with tops or the tops have no hole in them. What the crap? I mean when I go to Walmart I'm not expecting a quality product, but this is ridicules! Same trip I happened to pick up some food... it expired two days before I actually bought it! I used to buy the little boys clothes there. That was until I realized that if the clothes I was buying didn't already have a tiny hole somewhere, they would have one after a wash or two. Averaging me anywhere from 3-10 dollars for my kids to wear the outfit once. There are no words for how I much loath this store. And yet I find my self there about once a month! What is my problem? Why can't I just leave it alone? It's the really low prices! I delude my self into thinking...this time I wont be wasting my money. I realize how much cheaper things are there, but isn't it worth spending 4 dollars at Target instead of 2 dollars at Walmart, if that item is not going to be thrown away shortly after it's first use?
What is with pregnancy? I was rinsing my mouth with mouth wash yesterday morning, when all of the sudden I realized I had pooped my pants. It was just a little bit, but it was a pooping of the pants. There was no other way to slice it. I've never been the cool kid. But I've also never been the kid that poops their pants!!!! Being pregnant I deal with the risk of wetting my pants on a daily basis. But this is a whole different ball game. I am not ok with it! I have grown used to feeling totally normal and with in a matter of moments sprinting to the bathroom, squeezing my keagles and praying that I wont wet my pants. This I accept as a part of pregnancy. But what happened yesterday has led me to some long thought out conclusions....
Eve really did get screwed for taking a bite of that fruit! I bet Adam was totally stoked when he realized he and all of his future man folk would get to "provide" for their families. I hear people call pregnancy a beautiful miracle. Most of these people are men. In my world beautiful miracles do not come with bad backs, stretch marks, Huge knockers, Acid reflex, Sleepless nights and adult acne. I also have heard people say "pregnancy glow." Well congrats to other women, but I have never glowed while pregnant. If there is any glowing it's because it just took me 2 minutes to climb a flight of stairs and I cant catch my breath because the baby has laid claim on my lungs and I can't breath anymore. Dave even admits I don't glow when pregnant. I do however break out like a fifteen year old boy. My sweet friend Dori told me to counter act this break out problem by putting coconut oil on my face. This had the opposite effect. I know have white heads in that hard to reach place on the side of my nose.
Honestly pregnancy does amaze me. Everything has to be perfect for a child to be conceived. And everything has to stay perfect for that baby to survive. Every child is amazing. However I don't think the process is beautiful. Dave goes to work every day, where he learns something new and interacts with people who take him seriously. I however stay home and consider the day a victory if I only wet my pants once.
Oh the dog! I don't know if I have much else to say about the stupid dog. She is the perfect for the boys and a really good family dog. However she hates me. She has no respect for me! Yesterday she took off and wouldn't let me catch her. Dave had to come home from school and get her. She came right to her. I used to not understand how people could just leave their dogs. Now I realize they had it coming. I will no longer judge the parents of an abandoned dog.
Well that's it for now.
I am so lucky! Four beautiful children and a husband who still adores me! This blog is my sounding board for all things Jodi.

Testing
Halloween 2008. This whole post is just me trying to figure out things in the blog world. I'll post more and better later.
This is Abe (batman) and Dallin (Buzz Lightyear) this year at our friend Misty's house for Halloween. Dallin did have awesome wings, but the poped 30 seconds after we put them on his back. They were really cool too. Abe has worn his batman hat/ cape almost every day since Halloween.

Normal America
So we have finally moved! No the house did not sell. The house is beautiful and the lot sucks. What can you do? We are going to lease it out for a few years, and then we'll try again.
So to get to "Normal America." (Also known as the continental US.) We took a Ferry from Haines Alaska to Bellingham Washington. This took 3.5 days. It was a really cool experience. While driving through Canada to get to Haines we found a Grizzley bear! It was super cool! At first I didn't think it was a Grizzly. But then later that day we saw some Black Bears, and I realized for sure it was a Grizzly. Anyway we found this Grizzley in the middle of the road. So we stooped the car and fed it some beef jerky. We took video of all this, if I can figure out how to work this dang blog I'll post it. Later that day, upon arriving in Haines we found two black bears. One of them was eating a salmon and the other one was taking a swim in the river, surrounded by about 9 fisherman. All of the fisherman were waste deep in the water and weren't bothered by the bears at all. Alaska is such a strange place. There was a ton of camp sites around this river that had the two black bears. Dave and I agreed that there is no way we would camp there in anything less then a full sized Whinnie.
So the Ferry was pretty darn neat. The only thing that made it a little ho hum.... is that we have been living in Alaska for the last 3 years. So we are already well aware that Alaska is beautiful. Most people would have been blown away. The route the Ferry takes is the same route that the Cruise ships take. So it really is pretty. But we have been so spoiled by beauty for the last 3 years we spent most of our time in our stateroom. I thought our stateroom was great! It was way bigger then I was expecting. It had 4 bunks, a shower, a toilet, a sink, a closet and a pretty spacious sitting area. The boys had a wonderful time playing all day and Dave and I really enjoyed the 3 days of just reading.
On the last full day of our trip we went into open water for about 90 minutes. Abe woke up and snuggled Dave during this time. The boat was going through about 5 foot swells. No big deal, but still you should stay down if you can. We'll Abe wanted to see out side. After about 3 minutes of looking out the window he starts screaming. Then he started throwing up. It was so funny! 5 foot swells and my little Abe turned real green and lost it. After that he threw up again and then just layed down until it was over. However Dallin was completely unaffected..... For awhile. He was fine sitting there playing his little game boy and telling Abe that he was not sea sick. Then all the sudden he runs over to me and yells "I threw up on my game boy, my pj's and the chair!" Sure enough he had. Once again all of this is in 5 foot swells. It was really funny. After that we just all went back to sleep.
Once off the ferry we got to go and see Benj and Connie Beus! That was so fun! I have seen Benj and Connie every year since we left, but Dave had not seen them for 3.5 years. It was so fun to spend the night with them. They have a little baby girl named Grace, Dave fell totally in love! He held her (this is not normal behavior) and played with her. And when we left Saturday morning he told her he needs a baby her flavor in a few months. Dave really wants a girl. We didn't really do anything with Benj and Connie, we pretty much just enjoyed each other. The kids played and we caught up and watched Iron man. It was perfect!
Now we are at my parents house for a few days. If anything else exciting happens on our way to Georgia I'll try and remember to post again!

Fine Wendy.... you win!
Ok so my very good friend Wendy Beus reminded me today that I never up date my blog. I figured this would happen and is the exact reason why I resisted setting up a blog for so long.
So A LOT has been going on in our family. After 18 months of very hard training on Davids part he went to SFAS in July. (This is the selection course for Special Forces.) He made it through the whole course and did very well. He knew going into the selection room that he would be selected. However he was not selected for Special Forces. They do not give reasons why they select or do not select a soldier. This was the single biggest blow our family has ever faced. And one that the sting has yet to go out of. This also threw our family into a contingency plan we never dreamed we would have to use. We will now move to Ft. Gordon Georgia just outside of Augusta Georgia. For six months David will retrain to become a Signal Officer for the Army. (Please don't ask me what this is, all I know is that it involves computers.) Dave has never wanted to fix computers for the Army, but this will set him up for a normal job when we get out of the Army three years from now.
All of this happening has left us with about 60 days to sell our house. Our house is beautiful, we love our house. But it's on a funky lot. So it needs about 6 months to sell. We move in a week and 2 days and still no one has bought our house. Needless to say this makes me a total stressed out basket case and Dave is still calm, cool and collected about our current situation. He is sure we will get an offer in the next week. I sure hope he is right. Renting sucks and you never want to leave a house empty in Alaska through the winter. So we really have no choice but to rent it out.
For six months this year Dave and I tried to get pregnant. We got pregnant with the boys so quickly, not getting pregnant at will was a total shock to me. So the plan was to try till July and then stop trying until next year. So July came and I was not pregnant. I was bummed, but by the end of July I had totally moved on and was very excited about not being pregnant. We had nothing to worry about because Dave was gone most of July. Getting pregnant in July was not even possible. So Dave comes home late in the month of July.... sure enough impossible or not early August we find out we are expecting. Stinky Pete number 3 will arrive in April.
I am very excited to be pregnant. This is exactly what I wanted. However, we are going to be 80 miles away from a 6 flags when were in Georgia. This was very exciting to me. I love roller coasters and have always longed to live near a 6 flags. As crazy and selfish as it sounds my first reaction to realizing I'm pregnant was to mourn the loss of my beloved 6 flags. I didn't want to tell anyone about the baby. But after 2 days of sulking over 6 flags, Dave made me call my friends and tell them. He said I would Cheer up until someone other then him was excited. He was right. We can hardly wait for our little floppy, spit up encrusted little person to get here! However.... Holy crap! There not kidding when they say the body remembers! All my clothes still fit as they should. But I can't wear my shirts. As soon as my body registered that I was pregnant my gut shut right out! It's not cute!
We live in Alaska. There is a lot of wild life in Alaska. Abe loves animals. There is a beaver pond not far from our house. One day while we were driving in the car Abe says to Dave.... "Dad, why do you love to pet beavers so much?" This comment from our son has brought Dave and I hours of satisfaction! What a random question. Only as a grown boy will he understand just how that Innocent question was so stinking funny!
All of my transaction at work are closed out. I have loved being a Realtor! I have learned so much over the last year. I'm sure once all our babies are here I will return to the industry again. But it will be nice to just stay home again.
I'll blog again if the house sells in the next 9 days. If it doesn't I'll blog again when we get to Georgia.

My little perverts!
Let me first begin by saying I love men! I always have, I always will. I have a wonderful father, wonderful brothers and a wonderful husband! All my best friends growing up were always guys! My favorite teachers were always guys! Each one of my girlfriends from Pullman is married to a really good man. (except Andrew of course) Most of the Army men I know are awesome. However, having said that guys are universally perverts. I have often found my self wondering why is it that guys are perverts? Well I now have two little boys. I am fast learning that boys come hard wired to be perverts!
The other day I was talking on the phone when I walked out to my back deck. As I looked down from the deck I was on, to the deck below me I saw my little boys. Both of which were laughing their little heads off. As I looked down I realized my oldest son Abraham had his pants down, hips out and was peeing off the back deck on to the ground. Both he and his younger brother Dallin thought this was a total hoot! The dog then started licking and sniffing the fresh little boy pee that was on the ground.
Today as we drove around Anchorage I took some time to listen to the conversations going on in the back seat. I heard Abe explaining to Dallin how much fun it is to pee into the dirt and make mud. They both began to laugh at this fond memory.
Tonight when we got home from our errands, it was time for bed. The little boys came in the bathroom and began the nightly routine. All of the sudden Dallin was head back, belly laughing! After a little bit I finally understand what was so funny. Dallin has a brown monkey beanie baby. He had this monkey's little mouth on his little penis and was laughing about how the monkey was going to drink the water. This is not something Dave or I taught him! This is an outrage to both of us!
Dave and I explained that kind of behavior is not ok! But non the less.... the moral of the story is this.... Boys come hard wired to be perverts! It's nothing in their upbringing, they are just perverts. But perverts or not, I still love them.

Trials of the muffin tops
I am pretty sure no one cares how fat I feel. However I if I'm going to blog, it's going to be a real representation of my thoughts and feeling.
What the heck? Why can't I stop eating? I was doing just fine, working out and eating sort of reasonable. Then for some reason I fell off the wagon. I went from running around 25 miles a week, to thinking about running 5 miles a week. Only to make up for the lack of exercise I have decided to up my caloric intake by eating any sweets that pass with in 100 feet of me! At first this didn't seem to affect me, however I woke up this week and my butt had grown, A LOT! I keep thinking my box of fat clothes doesn't look so fat any more. Am I the only person who does this to them self? I love peanut M&M's! Some how in my head I have decided that the peanuts in the M&M's makes them ok to consume in mass amounts.
The solution? The only solution I can think of is to once again join good old weight watchers. This company has taken a lot of my money over the last 18 months. However I am very motivated by standing in front of that tiny women who has lost like 150 pounds and looks like a bird. I never stay for the meetings, I pay the money so I can stand in front of the bird women each week and get weighed.
I am also going to have to go back to the gym! Let me tell you about the only gym in Eagle River Alaska. It's 60 bucks a month for a basic one person membership. It is an additional 6 bucks a day to put my kids in the child care program. Adding up to usually around 160 bucks a month on the gym. It is the smallest and the dirtiest gym I've ever been in! I hate it! Everything about it! But when I went I was the size I wanted to be and loved to go clothes shopping. Now if some one tried to get me to go shopping I would give them a very nasty look and then politely decline. I am not happy with my body.
So how did this happen? Well first we went on vacation, that never helps. But I did ok coming out of that. Then I was running so dang much that I really could eat what ever I wanted and not gain weight. Then I started to break my no eating at work rule. Then I stopped running and started really eating at work. I've got to stop eating at work. I've really only gained 10 pounds from my smallest, but it feels like 30.
Solution? Dave has to leave again! No not really. But when he is gone I'm like a machine. I have complete control over what I eat and I work out two hours a day and don't even think it's a big deal! But when he is home I just have this need to eat what ever I want. Hopefully I'll pull it together soon. I have to pull it together soon. I'm really not happy with my self.
On a better note, my son Abraham turns 5 tomorrow! How crazy is that? Who said it would be ok for me to have a 5 year old? The crazy part about Abe being 5 is that he has no idea I have no business being his mother. I just keep waiting for the day when some government agency will show up at my door and tell me the experiment is over and take him away. This of course would would make very sad, but I've been expecting it for years.
I love Dave. I say this about 100 times a day. Lately I've been taking my self loathing out on him. The other day I tried to talk him into leaving me. I'm sure glad he didn't take me up on it. I really got lucky when I snagged that guy.

I give in!
I have been whole heartedly against blogging! But I miss my friends from Pullman so much that I am finally giving in. I really enjoy looking at their blogs, so I will make one of my own.
Dave and I live in Eagle River Alaska with our two sons and a naughty dog. Our oldest son turns 5 very soon and his name is Abraham. Our younger son is 3 his name is Dallin and he turns 4 in July. Our dogs name is Scout. She is the prettiest boxer I've ever seen. However she is very sneaky! Most days I hope she gets eaten by a bear. If a bear would just eat her it wouldn't be my fault and she would stop shedding in my house. It's natural selection baby! Every time she gets out of the house she runs away from us. She thinks it's a fun game, only it's not fun. She is FAST, neither Dave or I can catch her. Anyway every time she breaks out of the house I yell at her to go get eaten by a bear. I always thought I was a dog person... I was wrong.
Having said all that about the stupid dog.... the boys adore her! They play all day long with her and Dave loves her as well. I like her and all I just can't wait till she is really old and has hip dysplasia. Maybe then she will stop getting on my couch when I'm not home.
Abe is such a sweet little boy. He really is one of the most caring and sweet children I've ever come in contact with. He deeply cares about everyone he knows. I am so pleased with the little man that he is.
Dallin started this life as the spawn of the devil. But now has developed into a very pleasant child. All of our family that knew him as a baby is now very impressed with who he is now. He loves trains, mainly that creepy little Thomas. What is it with that train? Why do kids like him so much? Did you know Alac Baldwin is the narrator for all those Thomas shows? What a sell out.
David is so wonderful! He is still plugging along in the Army. He will be trying out for Special Forces some time soon. I am so proud of him. When I married David I thought I was getting a pretty good deal. It turns out I got a GREAT deal. He is my rock, he is so much stronger then me. If I would just follow the example David sets I would be a much better person then I am. I am so lucky to even know David, let alone be his wife.
I work at Prudential Jack White Vista Real Estate in Eagle River Alaska. Real Estate is the perfect job for me. I love people and I love houses! I get to work with people and help them into houses! I wish I would have thought of this years ago. I really do love my job. My office is awesome! Real Estate is a dog eat dog industry, but it doesn't feel like it in my office. Everyone is super supportive of me and in general everyone gets along really well. I love my job.
Well that's enough for one day. I'll try to figure out how to post pictures now. I know thats what people really want to see.
Dave and I live in Eagle River Alaska with our two sons and a naughty dog. Our oldest son turns 5 very soon and his name is Abraham. Our younger son is 3 his name is Dallin and he turns 4 in July. Our dogs name is Scout. She is the prettiest boxer I've ever seen. However she is very sneaky! Most days I hope she gets eaten by a bear. If a bear would just eat her it wouldn't be my fault and she would stop shedding in my house. It's natural selection baby! Every time she gets out of the house she runs away from us. She thinks it's a fun game, only it's not fun. She is FAST, neither Dave or I can catch her. Anyway every time she breaks out of the house I yell at her to go get eaten by a bear. I always thought I was a dog person... I was wrong.
Having said all that about the stupid dog.... the boys adore her! They play all day long with her and Dave loves her as well. I like her and all I just can't wait till she is really old and has hip dysplasia. Maybe then she will stop getting on my couch when I'm not home.
Abe is such a sweet little boy. He really is one of the most caring and sweet children I've ever come in contact with. He deeply cares about everyone he knows. I am so pleased with the little man that he is.
Dallin started this life as the spawn of the devil. But now has developed into a very pleasant child. All of our family that knew him as a baby is now very impressed with who he is now. He loves trains, mainly that creepy little Thomas. What is it with that train? Why do kids like him so much? Did you know Alac Baldwin is the narrator for all those Thomas shows? What a sell out.
David is so wonderful! He is still plugging along in the Army. He will be trying out for Special Forces some time soon. I am so proud of him.
