Day 6-Favorite super hero and why



Do I even have to explain it??? MIGHTY MOUSE is the coolest super hero who was ever imagined! Who doesn't love a crime fighting, damsel saving,flying mouse??? Ever since I was a little girl anytime super-hero was brought up Mighty Mouse is who came to mind. So it doesn't surprise me that he is who the first thought I had when I read Day 6.

Day 5-A picture of somewhere you've been to

Since tomorrow is Sunday and I won't be online I am posting this a day early. Out of all the places I have ever been there is only one place that I feel the peace and love of our Heavenly Father and Savior...The TEMPLE.




I've visited many Temples. Thirteen to be exact! But the Seattle, Washington Temple holds a very special place in my heart. When I was an infant I was sealed to my parents and older brother, Patrick in that special building. I don't remember anything about it...but I was told that I was a perfect, content baby the entire 10 hours we were there that day. Even though I was a nursing baby, I had no problem being away from my mommy for 6-7 hours and never fused.

Another reason this Temple means so much is because on September 27th, 2002 I was sealed to my Eternal Sweetheart, Ryan Scott Bair. I remember everything about that day. It was one of the greatest days of my life, aside from becoming a mother a few years later. I am so lucky to have found a man who loves me, cares for me, and supports me in all I do. I LOVE YOU RY!!!

Day 4-A habit that you wish you didn't have



You know the saying,"Never put off til tomorrow what can be done today,"? Well I tend to be the opposite. I always seem to put things off and I'm not always conscious of it when I'm doing it.

Day 3-A picture of you and your friends

First off let me just say I consider myself "FRIENDS" with many people! However, I have 4 women in my life who have proven themselves over and over to be there for me and love me no matter what my faults.

I met Melissa Louise Sauter/Smeltzer on the 1st day of school in 3rd grade. Why she wanted to be my friend was beyond me...maybe it was because we were the only 2 girls in our class??? Anyway we became friends regardless of my attitude among other faults. Some of the stories she has about me...oh that's another blog. Anyhow, I LOVE HER! She has been a GREAT friend for the past 20 years...dang that's a long time...here is to 20 more with her as my friend.


A few months after turning 12 my family moved from Key Center, WA to ROSWELL, NM. What were my parents thinking??? Again that is another blog!!! I was terrified! I had lived in the same home my entire 12 years of existence. I didn't think I would find friends as good as I had had in Washington. Well the Lord knows BEST. On my first day of school in Roswell I met Amanda Michelle Hogge/Rubio. Not only did we share the same middle name but we also shared a love for sports. We played on many teams together throughout the years. Up until High School when I chose soccer and she chose volleyball :( We live close so she is the friend I see the most often now a days. I don't think she will ever understand the amount of love I have for her. She made the hardest thing in my life (at the time of age 12) bearable. Her mom and her are a second family to me.



I met Carrie Lynette Harbour/Dias on my first day of Cosmetology School in Rexburg, Idaho. Are you seeing a trend here? School sure has given me a lot of great friends! Carrie was from Oregon, and just made school fun. She always had something funny to share. We would joke around a lot and hang out here and there. It wasn't until after school was done that I realize how much Carrie's friendship had meant to me. So my dear Carrie...I LOVE YOU for making beauty school bearable with your GREAT sense of Humor!!! I miss you! (left to right Sariah, Carrie, Melissa)



When Ryan and I decided to make the big move down to New Mexico from Spokane, WA< I have to admit I was a bit nervous. A few months passed without anything grand...and then I met Emily Reva Winkel/Sessions! Her cute family have moved from Oregon and bought a home in our ward. We were called to be the Girl's Camp Director/ Assistant Director together. We became close over that week of camp and realized how much we had in common with one another. A few months after camp we both realized we were expecting...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...heavenly father sure has a sense of humor, right? So in the picture below is at our Twilight Party...yes I went...were Em and I are pregnant together!
( Emily is to my left in the picture below, wearing the grey sweater)
I love you Em...even though you up and left me for Arizona! :)



I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, these women and their cute families! They are a soft place to fall when the road of life becomes rocky!

Day 2-The meaning behind your Blog name

Well it is self-explanatory really. In this life and I believe the next to come it's ALL about FAMILY...we're abunchabairs. I have always felt a strong connection to generations gone before in my family. When I married into the Bair Family that feeling multiplied as I felt the love and acceptance his family had for me. Ryan comes from a LARGE, loving and supportive family and I am PROUD to be able to add to His family tree (and mine) three more monkeys...I mean Bairs

4.I have small anxiety attacks when I have to leave my children for more than a few hours...it doesn't matter who I leave them with, still have them.

5.I am a crime fighting, nose wiping, Lego building, sword fighting, dig in the dirt Super Hero to my 3 energetic boys.

6.I am currently doing the Biggest Loser 30 day jump start and have lost 6 lbs. in two weeks. Who would have thought watching your portion size and working out would make you loose weight??? :)

7.I am not a beauty school dropout, however, I don't enjoy doing hair as much as I used too. Not sure why...just not enjoying it...maybe too many clients who think I am a magician????

8.My children DO CHORES!!! If chores, homework, scripture reading aren't done sorry boys no DSI or WII...some parents disagree... we'll see how their kids behave in 10 years :)

9.I enjoy food! I'll try anything, as long as it is cooked, at least once!

13.I LOVE my CHRISTMAS gift from my husband(see picture)! I can't wait to take some photography courses from my dear friend, Tonya Peterson.

14.I was nicknamed booger face by my loving siblings when I was a toddler...due to a scar I have on my face from a booger. Long story short if a booger dries on your face while your sleeping get a warm washcloth to wipe it off. DON'T try to scratch it off!

15.I get claustrophobic! Even in my home if there is too much stuff...so I DE-clutter often and recently realized I need to really start THINKING every purchase through so I don't clutter my home!
