So I am skipping day 22 because it was "a letter to someone who has recentley hurt you" which has not happend! I guess I am lucky to have people who really care about me. So on to day 23 "15 facts about me" I hope I don't bore you guys..nothing to crazy and exciting about me.

1- I used to let people push me around. Not anymore!!! I got so sick of being a push over and now I stick up for what I want and believe...so ya better watch out ;)
2- My favorite color is purple, I have always loved that color ever since I was a little girl.

4- I am a big believer in doing everything the "all natural way" I have found that there are so many harmful things in the world that we don't even know about.
5- I am a control freak, I always take control in almost every situation. I know it annoys my husband the most!
6- I hoard beauty, health, and personal products! not really hoard but I like to make sure I have enough tolletries to get me through the month. You know shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, gel, tampons, ect....I have two shelves in my bathroom closet dedicated to my stuff.
7- I love surprises, I mean who doesnt. But they don't happen that often to me so when it does I feel really special :)
8- I don't like to take any medications, unless I am dying or have the worst headache in the world.

Day 21- A photo of something that makes me happy

This will always be something that makes me happy...Jaxon smiling and laughing. He is so freaking cute when he gets on his little giggle kick! He is a really happy baby most of the time, unlike he was when he was younger. We sure do love him and yes he is a little spoiled ;)

Day 20-My top 10 beauty products!

So I know that day 20 was actually "whats behind your blog name" but my blog name is my family name. Nothing super exciting about that. So I thought I would share with you my top 10 favorite beauty products that I can't live without.

10- Johnson's bay oil gel with shea butter and cocoa oil. This stuff is so great if you have dry itchy skin like I do. I live in a desert and I am always putting on lotion, so I tired this and it works wonderfully! Just put on after you shower (while your still wet) and dry off with a towel. It gives your skin a soft silky smooth feel :)
9- Clinique moisturizer I have found that when it comes to your skin, especially on your face you really need to take extra care of it. So spending a little bit of money is what you may have to do. This moisturizer is great. It is light weight and smooth, it gives just the right amount of moisture to your face and doesn't dry out or make your break out. They also make great face wash and eye make up removers.
8- L'oreal go 360 clean  This is a fun way to clean your face and is great for traveling. This face wash comes with it's own little scrublet and makes it easy to wash on the go!
7- ShakaLaka lip balm  So my husband got me started on this and I am addicted!!! this stuff is so great, it goes on smoothly and isn't sticky and wont leave a residue. It makes your lips super soft and healthy. You can get this at most gas stations.
6-Paul Mitchell extra body hair spray  I love Paul Mitchell products and have found the best hair spray. This hair spray keeps the look you wont without going crunchy on ya. I have found a little goes a long way and keeps my locks in place all day :) Also I had to add another product that I love is Tea Tree shampoo I wear a lot of products in my hair and it builds up gunk in your hair after time. So I use this clarifying shampoo and it gets rid of the impurities in your hair and scalp. It really makes a big difference, your hair will be shiny, smooth, and full of body.
5-Unite lazer straight cream I found this product when I used to get my hair done at the Sanctuary day spa (can I say I really miss that salon) and ever since then I have been using it. I normally use it when I straighten my hair. I have really curly thick hair and this product really helps to control the frizz.
4-O-P-I manicure/pedicure cucumber scrub  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff! can I say it again... I LOVE this stuff :) This scrub makes your hands and feet feel so soft and smooth. I use this every couple of weeks when I want to rejuvenate my hands and feet. You really need to try it and it comes in so many yummy flavors :) Also just want to say O-P-I makes the BEST nail polish ever if your a nail polish junkie like me :)
3-Clinique Happy fragrance  I fell in love with this fragrance forever ago and I just love the soft sweet smell. It reminds me of summer and it always makes me feel so fresh and happy :)
2-Biosilk-silk therapy  if you want shiny, smooth, healthy looking hair you need to try this stuff. I love it. It can be a little pricey but it really lasts a long time! I put this stuff on when I wear my hair curly and straight. I really tames frizz and protects against blow drying and straightening.
1-CHI straightener  I straighten my hair a lot and I have used a ton of different straighteners in the past but this one is my all time favorite. I bought my first chi almost 3 years ago and it's still going strong. I love it because it makes my hair so shiny and smooth and I can curl my hair with it too. And it has lasted a long time, you really get what you pay for.

I hope you try at least one of these products, because these are my favorites and I have tried a lot of products! :)

Day 19- Favorite pictures of myself

I have to say these are some of my favorite pictures of me, I don't really love them for me! But for the beauty of a mom and a sons love. I think these pictures say it all about my love for my baby, and I am so thankful I got to capture these precious moments and have them with me forever :)

Day 18- Something I crave a lot!!!

So one of my favorite places to get the best caramel apples would be Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. They have the best stuff ever!! I love their chocolate covered strawberries, the pretzels with caramel inside, and of course the apple pie caramel apple. This thing is so dang good that I can eat a whole one by myself (even knowing the calories are probably really high) and never want to share! I would crave this when I was pregnant and still do. Anytime I go to the outlet mall I have to stop by and get one. So if you have not tried one, you need to!

My sick Easter bunny :(

We got him a little pre made basket and some plastic links, he also got a cute outfit (he is not wearing, we didnt want it ruined with vomit)

we tried to use the bowl to catch the throw up, got sick of cleaning it up off the floor :(

you can see it in his eyes, he does not feel good :(

Got a tiny smirk when he was playing with his toys.

So this was Jaxon's first Easter and the poor guy was so sick! He got sick the day before with a fever and all day vomiting. We have been really lucky so far, this was the first time he has ever been sick and it was a really scary experience for me. I know I am a first time mom and all but it's the worst thing to see your infant so helpless and miserable. We have finally got rid of his fever and he can finally keep food and liquid down, thank goodness!
Easter this year was very different for us, we didn't do anything at all! Jaxon was sick and so was Curtis. My dad was in Salt Lake and it was just the four of us (including my mom). My grandparents invited us over for dinner in which we couldn't go so I stayed at home taking care of my boys and watched Lost. Hopefully next year will be much better.

Day 17- A picture of me and my family

My Family 2011

My husbands side of the family, The Woods (2008)

My side of the family, The Higley's (2009) 

So I thought I would share pictures of both sides of my family and share a little bit about them. Well if you all don't know yet my husbands name is Curtis we met in high school and dated for a while then split up and met back up again in 2005 and hit if off and here we are! We have a beautiful son Jaxon who is almost 10 months old and is the most amazing boy ever. We plan on adding 2 more to the mix before we hit our thirties :)

On my side of the family I am the oldest of 5, I have one sister Breanne and three brothers Bryce, Michael, and Jace. I have great parents my mom Dotti and my dad Jaran. I Love Love Love my family to death! We do have additional family members. I have two sister in laws Shayla and Sabrina, they are so much fun and a great addition to the family. I also have 2 nieces Annabelle and Amiah, and one nephew Ethan. They are the most adorable kids ever!!! I would like to think of myself as their favorite aunt CieCie ;)

On my husbands side of the family he is the youngest boy out of 5 kids. Here goes from the oldest Trevor, Shane, Devon, Curtis, and Mary. I also have the greatest in laws Linda and Dean, they have been great second parents to me :) I also have four amazing sister in laws Mary, Deborah, Liz, and a shout out to Bonni who may be reading this ;) and I just so happen to get some additional nieces and nephews; Hailey, Damon, Sarah, Ryan, and Dillon.
So I think I am a pretty lucky girl to have such a big and caring family like I do. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have these people in my life. Love you guys!!! :)
