Anyone?

So I have, I think, about 3 blogger Friends that went private. I want to move their blogs to the bottom of my 'Friends and Family' list so I can remember that they are private. Right now they still show up in the middle of my list because it shows their last update before they went private. Does anyone know how to change that? I've tried to delete them and re-add them, but that doesn't work, it just keeps sticking them right back where they came from.

Don't get too excited.

I'm NOT pregnant, nor are we even trying to get pregnant. We're just practicing :) However I want to hear from everyone what you think about the following.
Before CJ and I had kids I thought that every two years we would have a little bouncing baby, up until the point that we thought our family would be complete. But, once we had our first little bouncing baby boy, we realized just how much time and effort goes into a child. We realized then, that waiting until there was a three year gap might fit our family a bit better. So I want to know from you what you think about age difference's between your kids, your neighbor's kids, or your future kids. Do you think it should be decided for what's best for the parents, or what is best for the kids? What amount of age gap do you think fits the best? Let me know all that you think or what your experience's were/are.

Something I'm Trying to Understand

Does anyone else have a hard time with Death? It seems like my family (my side of the family & CJ's side) has had our fair share of passings for the next long while. During the last year my step Grandpa, My Grandpa's sister, my Cousin, CJ's sweet Grandpa and his Aunt have all passed away. CJ had a very hard time with the passing of his Grandpa. He was like a dad to him. He was a man of very little words but you could always see the huge amount of love he had for CJ and our little boy Drake. CJ did nothing but look up to and admire his Grandpa.
But, I don't get it. I know it's just part of the journey and our plan here on this earth but it's so hard for the one's left behind. It's like that Toby Keith song... "...I'm not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm crying for me."
I have never had anyone that is really close to me pass away, and O how I pray it's a long time until that happens, because inevitably, it will. I'm not sure how I will act or what I will do to try and cope with the strange feelings I will have.
I feel like I grew up all my life knowing that I will have to Bury my parents, after all I will live longer than them... right? I mean, that's the way it's going to be, I grow old, but my parents grow older, so they pass first.... WRONG! Until recently has that reality hit me in a weird way. When CJ's Aunt Pam passed away this last week, I felt so sad for Angie (my Mother-in-law) and her siblings. I can't, and don't want to, imagine the death of one of my closest friends on this earth, one of my siblings. O what a train wreck I would be! I grew up thinking, with my naive thoughts, that my parents would die first and I would have the support from all my siblings, and I know it sounds strange, but I hadn't realized how far from truth that is until now.
So in closing, with help fromm CJ's other Aunt, Shanna, and her blog post on the 17th (www.thesegolilypad.blogspot.com, sorry my link poster thing wouldn't work) I want you all to remember the small, sweet things in life that everyone around you helps you enjoy. And please tell the one's you love that you love them. So this is my shout out! To all the one's that I adore, smile with, laugh with, look up to, hang out with, blog about, and hug, please know that you are loved be me!

The Verdict Is In

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the comments and advise you all gave me about my hair dilemma. I was kind of surprised that most of you liked the dark hair with reddish and/or blond highlights. Although most of you said that I should change it up a bit I think I'm going to stick with my blond for a little while longer. I got lots of advise and tips on how to make my blond hair healthier that I think I'll go a head and try out. If, after a while, my hair has not grown or is still breaking off, then I'll go a head and give the brunette a try.
Thanks again!
P.s. How in the world do you spell 'blonde' or 'blond' Blogger tells me it's 'blond' but Word tells me it's 'blonde'?

Late Christmas post

So, I have been meaning to post these pictures for a very long time now and it always just slips my mind. So here is a look back at Drake's 2nd Christmas, of which he still had no great concern or care for :)
Not all of the toys in the background are one's that he got for Chistmas. Infact after the big day, I went through his toys and threw some away and boxed up some of the rest becuase I don't think a child this young needs so many dang toys. Our Christmas this year… o wait, last year… was very small we didn’t spend a lot of money because A: we knew Drake would not remember it haha and B: he has NO IDEA what Christmas even is yet. So we decided that all the big spending can wait a while.
Yes my child has food in the corners of his mouth, but please don't judge me lol
He got some new bath tub toys and now becuase there are so many, he stacks them on the side of the tub like this. He's a funny kid!

Another Opinion Needed

I'm thinking of going back to being a brunette. Although I love my blonde hair, it's just really unhealthy and my hair won't grow because the ends just break off when i bleach it. However, if you are a brunette please don't get mad when I say, I think blonde's have more fun. Okay, well atleast this blonde thinks that. I've been both, a blonde and brunette, and I feel way more fun and spunky when I'm blonde. So please take a look at the following photo's and tell me what you think. Thanks!
This is my blonde hair now
This is blonde hair on top and bottom with some dark in the middle
This is all brunette
and this is brunette with some blonde and reddish highlights

Tell me what you think....

I'm saving up right now for a super nice Nikon camera (I have not decided which one, but I like the d40 and d90) because I'm in love with photography! I want to photograph anything that moves, and I guess anything that doesn't. I'm not trying to be just another Utah mom who wants a job that works around me. In fact I'll be okay if I don't even make money. I want this camera because I want to take a memory of my family and friends and have it frozen in time forever! I want an awesome picture to be a family heirloom. I've done a lot of thinking and now I want your opinion. Should I go into wildlife photography? I love the outdoors and I love looking at animal photos..... mmmmm I need some opinions.
