Professional Mothers

I consider myself a professional mother. I also consider myself a professional Home Maker and Tailor. Being a mother is my first responsibility so I use most of the hours in a day doing it. Just as a lawyer or teacher is a professional person but had to do a number of years of research and study to become one, a professional Mother does too. There is 2 years of baby research then 3 years of toddler research, before the mother can claim to be a professional Mother of the Early Years. The same pattern continues for Elementary years, adolescent or Argumentative stage, and Self Expression or High School stage. With each child the professional person has, it gives them a compound amount of years. For example if the professional mother had two kids and they both are out of the Early stage then she has 10 years, but always subtract the first 5 years as the research and study time needed to become the professional. Leaving her 5 years of being a professional Mother, the Early Years. Like all professions the mother must be doing it full time or 8 hours a day. Also remember there are ones that do it better or worse then others. Depending on the results they were going after.

I have a group of friends here in Woodruff that I also consider professional Mothers and use them as a resource of information. They are out in the field actively researching and practicing. Each week we meet and report to each other our findings. We also address our own research projects and hope to get some insights on how to handle the project. The projects are usually Mothering questions , but sometimes are Home Makers situation.

I love having these meeting and get great information. I also find a lot of info from posting research questions on Facebook. The project for this week is Potty Training. I would like to know from any professional Mother what their number one thing they do while Potty Training?

The Woodruff research group members are as follows...
myself Crystalyn professional Mother, the Early Years -12 yrs

Katherine professional Mother, the Early Years - 7 yrs

Andrea professional Mother, the Early Years - 12 yrs

Casey professional Mother, the Early Years - 9 yrs

Lynne professional Mother, the Early Years - 24 yrs
Michelle professional Mother, the Early Years - 20 yrs
Lisa professional Mother, the Early Years - 25 yrs

Hull Family Picture 2011

Logan Hyrum Mack

One of the things that made November 6th such a great day was Logan. Logan is Rachel and Aaron's third child and they came to Woodruff to bless him on the same day that Olivia was blessed. I am so proud of Rachel and the mother, wife, and friend that she is. It was fantastic to see and be with her.

Blessing Day

Olivia was blessed on November 6, 2011, by her father Aaron Hull, in Woodruff, Utah. The day was amazing. Absolutely perfect. Thirty or more family members came to celebrate her on this day. My little brother, Joshua, took this great picture of her. You can contact him at JoshuaTreePhotography.com or his cell is 801-759-2228.

Carol and Richard. Mike and Glenda. Ross and Janeatte. Don and Caroll. Joshua and Melissa. Chad, Jessica, Jozie, and Haven. Kristianna and Micheal. Chelsea and Reed. Ethan, Stephanie, Zach, Scott, Cheyenne, and Hailey. Skyler and Keri. Eric and Kari. And Olivia's family, Aaron, Crystalyn, Taylor, Cameron, Mason, and Emmett.

After the costumes and dinner

After we dressed up in costumes, eat a spooky dinner, and played Green Witch outside, the kids put on a show for us. It was lots of fun seeing Taylor, Cameron, Mason, and Jozie put on a different outfit and then act out a play. Sometimes they were memorized poetry and sometime we told the story while they acted it out. I LOVED LOVED seeing my boys get love and encouragement from loving uncles, aunts, cousins, grandmas, and grandpas.

If you can't tell this is a picture of Cameron, Jozie and Mason

Emmett loved these white angle wings and would flap is arms and run
around acting like he was flying. He is having Melissa talk on his phone. He loves his phone so much he often shares it with others.

Mason started the whole show and got everyone else into it. Mason is and has always been the funniest entertainer. He has never been bashful.
The man holding up Jozie is Don Miskin. We all love having him in our lives now. He just recently moved to Utah from California. "we love you, uncle Don"

Happy Halloween 2011

This is a picture of Grandpa B (Mike) with a arrow on his head. He didn't come with a costume so we spray painted the Air Bender Avitar arrow on him. It was rocking awesome.
Melissa came as a army chick. With a "real knife and everything", says my boys.
Here we have Joshua eating a jello worm. They looked really gross. Jessica made them for the spooky dinner and were the best and grossest things there.

Mason as spiderman. Notice the picture on Don's phone

Halloween Night was a hug success. We didn't even need coats. Emmett got his first taste of a pixy stick and got so hipper he started belly flopping on the floor. From a standing position.

Five Children

Emmett came down stairs all exited to tell me, "egg, mess" . He said it about 5 times before I realized what he was saying. On Facebook I have been posting things that have been happening now that I have 5 children. The first one was, a night I gave the wrong kid cough medicine and didn't realize it until the next day. Here are pictures of the other two examples of what happens when you have 5 children.

Fun at Uncle Don's house







After spending the night at Don's house we went to the local Pumpkin Walk. It was great and we are totally doing it again next year.

Spooky Dinner

For the second year in a row Jessica and I are hosting a Spooky Halloween Dinner for all those that want to come. The whole night is geared towards kids and having fun like a kid. So...

OLIVIA

Stephanie and Rachel have been requesting more pictures of Olivia. BUT I am not a great photographer like my brother and so every picture I take Olivia looks the same. BUT I'll try. I thought maybe if I changed her outfits a few times that would help. I also like the pictures that are not posed, they seem to show more emotions and are meaning full. I think they tell a bigger story. So here are the pictures and the people in Olivia life this weekend.
