Day 30 – Something you could never get tired of doing

Kissin' this guy...

(I really hate my hair in this photo)


I love kissing Logan. I would kiss him all day if he was up for it. He doesn't love it as much. He used to...when that's all we were allowed to do. When we used to say good night he would always say, "Can I have just one more kiss?" I loved it. Now it's me begging for the kisses. I'll never stop asking though! And he's usually pretty generious with them for me!

Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?

One year ago I was very pregnant
My feet were 2 sizes bigger than they normally are
I was 40 pounds heavier than I normally am
I wore a pearl instead of my diamond on my left hand (my diamond didn't fit my swollen fingers)
I had blonde hair
I was working at Supercuts 40 hours a week
I was getting very excited to be a mother
and P.S. My boobes were HUGE ...


Now I am very not pregnant
I once again wear a 6 1/2 size shoe
I am back down to 125 (although I would be happy to get that last 20 off)
I am wearing my wedding ring. Love my diamond
I have brown hair
I am working at Olde Mill Salon about 20 hours a week and lovin' it
I love being a mother
and I wear a 34-A bra...at least one thing is back to normal haha

Day 25 – A photo of something that means a lot to you

The Salt Lake Temple. There was a picture of this temple in my home my entire life. This is where my parents were married. I remember when I was little always hoping that I would be married there some day too. And guess what? I was. This is where Logan and I were Sealed for Time and All Eternity. I still get emotional when I think about it. The temple is a beautiful place where beautful and sacred things take place. I feel so blessed to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that my family is forever. I am so grateful to be sealed to Logan. We both covenanted with each other and with our Heavenly Father that we would honor our marraige and love and respect each otherfor the rest of Eternity. I love Logan so much and I am so happy that he took me to the temple and promised me forever.

Day 24 – A photo of you and your family



This is my family. The Cleveland Family. I like that Logan and I started our own family unit when we got married and now we have Autumn too. Logan and Autumn two are my favorite people in the world. I sure love them...

Autumn and I have so much fun playing all day long on my days off. She loves making this little zoolander face and I think it is hilarious.
Logan is my Best Friend. He is so handsome and when I'm at home waiting for him to get off work I feel like a school girl excited to see her crush. He just gets to me. I don't know what it is about him...but whatever it is I'm stuck. I'll never get over this guy!

But before I had Logan I had my wonderful Parents and Siblings... I have a beautiful Mother, a very handsome Father, five lovely Sisters and four crazy Brothers.
These are the Girls: My Mom, she used to wake me up in the morning my softly tickling my feet. Oh How I miss that. We spent many hours cleaning the house together and I sure loved talking to her while mopping the floor. She is the best mom in the world and taught me all the things I needed to know to be a mom someday too. Becca, my oldest sister and I have just recently (like since she moved out and got married) become close. I wouldn't say that we ever were when I was younger. But when I was in High School and she would come home from college I loved it. She loves reading and gets sucked into fantasy worlds just like I do. Rachael is the second oldest, she knows how to have fun. She loves going out! I am her go to vent girl. So we talk on the phone at least once a week, and with out Rach we would never have family get togethers...she plans them all and does a great job. Juli has been my best friend since we were babies I'm sure. We've shared a room practically our whole lives. Now she lives in California and I hardly ever get to see her. I sure miss her pretty face. Sara is the next girl after me. We didn't get along so well growing up. But now that she is a little older and more mature we get along pretty well. She is beautiful. She got blessed with the skinny jenes, but somehow she got double blesssings, because she actually has boobes and a butt too! Not fair I tell you. Hannah is the youngest of the sisters and she is such a babe! She is so bubbly and fun. She's a little sporty girl. She'll probably end up being the most athletic of all of us. She got my mom's lovely blond hair and blue eyes and my dad's great skin. She's gonna be a knock out! I love all of my sisters so much.

These are the handsome Simmons boys! I love all of my brothers and my dad very much. My Dad is a very smart guy. I swear he knows just about everything and has had so many experiences. He is very easy to talk to and a good advice giver. I remember when I was in High School he would go running with me at night so I didn't have to go by myself. He always encouraged me to do my best. I sure love him. James and I didn't always get along very well, but we got over it and get on just fine now. I really miss him now that he's on a mission, but I'm so proud of him for going. Joe is awesome! He is such a little stud. He is really smart and very cute. All the girls are probably crazy about him. If I was his age and not his sister I would be! :) John is such a sweet heart.He always has a hug for me first thing as I walk in the door. One of my favorite memories of John is once he won the wishing bone pull so he got to make a wish. When I asked what he wished for he said he couldn't tell me because then it wouldn't come true. It took a minute but I finally convinced him to tell me and this is what he said "I wished for Dinosaures to be alive again." It was so cute. The last little brother and baby of the family is Danny. I remeber the day Danny was born. I ran down to the bus stop in the morning and told everyone that my mom was having her baby that day! I wanted them to name him Jared because all the boys in my family have a name that starts with "J" except for Danny. I don't really know Danny that well because I moved out when he was really little. But he is very sweet when I come home and he sure loved Autumn. When she was born he was so excited to hold her and he kept saying "Oh she is just so tiny. Look at her little ears." I loved it.


This is my crazy Family (minus a few...Juli's husband Seth wasn't there and Derrick, Autumn and Zeegan didn't exist yet...so weird). There are lots of us. It's crazy all the time, but pretty fun too!
These are my adorable nieces and nephews.

Dillan is the oldest. I can still remember the first time I got to hold him when he was a brand new little baby. He was so sweet and I fell in love with him immedietly. He is still so much fun and one of my favorite kids ever. He always has something awesome to tell you that he is so excited about he struggles to get it out! It's so cute! Then there is sweet little Lexi. She was my first niece. I remeber looking at her right after she was born, she had the most perfect little features I'd ever seen. She had such a pretty face and it wasn't a little chubby blog (like most babies) she truely had definition, her lips were my favorite. Now she is almost 5 and she has this cute little raspy voice that is mine and Logan's favorite thing. She is always wearing a dress and is just so beautiful. Then there is Link. He is Becca and Jakes little boy. For some reason I don't have any memories from when he was a new born. I don't know where I was...but I remember baby sitting him when he was about 6 months old a lot. He was so cute and fun. He is such a smart little guy. He talks so well. And he sits really good for a hair cut (that's a good thing in my book!). Next we have the cute little Rocco. He is Juli and Seth's oldest. I remember when Juli was pregnant with him and she told us what she was naming him. I thought she was crazy. But it fits so perfectly now. He is so cute and fun. He is so brave too. Last summer he was over at our house for a pool party. He just jumped right in with out his life jacket or anything...Luckily Uncle Logan was there and jumped in after him (he didn't actually know how to swim) Logan was the hero! The next grandbaby is Derrick. He is sooooo cute! He remindes me of a little duck with his fuzzy yellow hair. He is so sweet and such a little mischevious boy all in one. He loves Autumn...so of course he has my heart. Autumn comes next! My little chubba-wabba! She is a doll! She is so much fun and I love her to Death! The last grandbaby for now is Zeegan. I have only got to see this cute little angle a few times in her little life, but she is so sweet. My sisters and I took a trip to Cali a few months back and I left Autumn home with Logan for the weekend. I missed my baby a LOT! When we stayed at Juli's I held Zeegan pretty much the whole time. She felt to snuggly and warm and reminded my of my sweet Autumn. Such cute kids! I love them all...and you can ask any of them...I'm the favorite Aunt. I'm just so much fun! :)




This is my other family. I don't know what I would do with out them. Logan and Autumn of course, and Logan's wonderful parents and siblings. Joy and Brooke are two of my best friends. We love living with them and being close to them. We have such a great time together. I love going out with them because it is always such a great time. We will talk for hours. They have taught Logan and I many important things about life.


And of course Logan's Dad and DeAnne. They take us camping and riding a lot and keep Logan in good shape! :)

Day 23-Your Favorite Movie

This will always be my favorite movie (and book). The reason I love this movie so much is because it truely is word for word the same as the novel. Which is why it is six hours long. I love it so much. Jane Austin was an inspired writer. This is the best love story ever! I wish I owend it. Someday...
P.S. some of my favorite memories with my mom and sisters are having Pride and Prejudice days. We would all cuddle up on the couch with snacks and drool over the gentleman Mr. Darcey, get fed up with Mrs. Bennet and her poor nerves, laugh at Mr. Bennet and Lizzy's humor, be enraged by the nerve of the wicked Mr. Wickem and Lydia's stupidness, gag over how disgusting Mr. Collins is, and covet Jane's kindness and love.

Day 18 – Something you crave a lot

Frozen Yogurt. We get frozen yogurt almost every weekend because I always want it! Logan would prefer Ice Cream from Cold Stone (the traitor, I'll always be true to Maggie Moos!) but he is so sweet, he usually lets me have my way and we get the yogurt. I think I feel less guilty eating frozen yogurt because I have a lot of fruit in mine and there aren't as many calories as ice cream. I love it.

Side Note: Logan always gets the exact same thing...Cake Batter with Almonds mixed in and whipped cream on top. I usually do chocolate with fruit or cheese cake with fruit. Depends on the mood.

Day 14 – A TV show you’re currently addicted to

I really watch way too much T.V. I have about five regular shows that I look forward to each week, but this is the one I look forward to the most! Parenthood. Tuesday nights Logan and I put Autumn to bed and then suggle up to watch our favorite, uplifting, and hilarious show about somthing we've just entered into. I love the characters and the struggles that go on in every family. This show just does a great job of illustrating all family relationships. I love it!

Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet

Meet Raja. She is an adorable chocolate lab puppy. I got her for Logan when we lived in Texas.
She was so cute when we gave her baths. She would start moving her front legs in swimming style when we would turn the water on to run the tub. Such a smart girl.

She was great with babies...
She was Logan's favorite ever. When we found out I was pregnant he said..."Honey, I hope I like the baby as much as I like Raja."
To tell the truth, I'm not much of an pet fan. Especially not indoor pets. I don't like how they smell. I don't like having their hair on my couch, floor, or clothes. I don't like cleaning up after them. I really don't like house training them. Yuck. But Logan LOVES dogs. He has wanted one since the day we got married. So I finally got him one. And suprisingly I enjoyed our little puppy more than I thought I would. She was so cute when I picked her up. Just this tiny little thing, I loved her. But then she pooped...right on my white carpet, and she pee'd all over everything, and she chewed things up...like my cell phone charger that cost $25 to replace (what a rip off) and pens that exploded everywhere and took six hours to clean off the carpet. But then she would do somthing so cute. Somthing like jump up on the couch and cuddle right into you, or run around excitedly when you walked in the room. Yes, as you can tell, she was a Love/Hate situation for me. She was a good dog and it was sad when we had to sell her (we moved back to Utah and had no where to keep her). But if I were ever to get another pet...or should I say, when we get another pet, I would like another lab. I'm requiring a large backyard before that happens though. Oh and Logan will be in charge of house training it and cleaning up any and all accidents involved in that process.

Day 5-A photo of yourself from when you were young

I don't know how old I am here. I'm pretty sure this was at a Simmons Family Reunion though. Those sure were fun. I like this picture because it makes me feel like my daughter actually does have some of me in her. My childhood me and my daughter could be sisters! Love my clothing choice. Humpty Dumpty is the best!
