mari -- the mommy model

i LOVE mari! She is totally hilarious, out-going, and very thoughtful of other people. She is also gorgous and a total knock-out with 3 kids 3 and under....which if you scroll down you can see her adorable little family. She actually kinda got tricked into mommy models...if you want her story you can ask her in the comment box to see her personal blog.


by the way her answers made my stomach hurt I was laughing so hard!


1. Do you have any nicknames?

My brothers growing up always called me Mardog...not my favorite one. My grandma calls me Mari-Dar, but Mari is a nickname, short for Marijeanne (Mar-zhaun NOT Mary-Jean)

2. If the world ended and you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

hmmmmmm thats difficult. Probably Pizza, can I have milk and ranch with it?

3. Morning person or night owl?

Night owl...you don't want to be around me in the morning.

4. How old were you when you had your first kiss?

Hmmmm thats a hard one. When I was in 7th grade, Nick Brown got dared to kiss me with his tongue down my throat. I was so afraid that was what kissing was that I was NOT in any hurry to try that one again. My first KISS kiss was about two years later, but I hate to touch noses that kissing always posed a challenge. I won't intentionally touch ANYONE'S nose other than my kids, (Noses are creapy, not natural!) so when someone kissed me and I realized their nose touched my face it freaked me out.

5. Tell us something embarrassing about yourself.

Thats also a hard question because I really don't embarress easy, but I do dumb things quite often. Probably one of the worst was the time I went to the gym with my sisters and mother in law. I had a hoody on because it was a blizzard outside. It was early in the morning and all the tread mills were occupied. We walked in, went to the coat rack to take our sweaters off, then walked through the treadmills. I got all the way across the room when I got a weird look from a girl on one of them and I realized that I had taken my shirt off WITH my hoody that was hung up across the room in the rack. I have walked across the room without a shirt. I RAN across the room and frantically tried to cover my boobs while getting my t-shirt untangled from my hoody. People are watching me wondering if I am a little off and people are walking in the front door taking second glances at me while I am WISHING I would just wake up from the nightmare where I go to school (in this case the gym) naked. Of course I am thankful for the fact that I live in utah, otherwise I might have had a few MORE people who would have wondered, "why is she wearing a bra over her silky see-through shirt?"

6. What are some of your korky silly fears?

I have a phobia of sharks and not exagerating will probably have a nightmare about them at LEAST every other night. It started when I was 8 yrs old my brother's sat on me and made me watch Jaws. I didn't take a bath for 6 months. Yes, I was the stinky kid on the block. I still won't swim in the ocean except for somewhere like the caribean where I can see below me and although I logically know there's no sharks in the lake you can't tease me about something swimming near me when we're there. I will cry

7. Hobbies, interests, talents?

I love singing, music in general. It is the my heart for sure.

8. Favorite all time movie...

Thats also hard, it changes. I LOVE the Princess Bride, PS I love you, and the Friends episodes I have on DVD

9. What do you spend most of your time doing every day?

Changing diapers and doing my endless mound of Laundry. Laundry is of the devil!!!! Stupid fat hobit laundry

10. If you could have any super hero power what would it be?

Read peoples minds....oooo oooo and that one power that the guy on "Heroes" has, where he can take on whatever power someone has around him. Except I don't want to have to kill someone to get it like he does...oh and I guess in reality no one has super powers to take, so I guess I'll stick with reading minds.

she got this war wound from our previous family session... she had a hard encounter with the railroad tracks...but she didn't even flintch...what a woman!











drums please....... here are the HOT kickers she is using for the contest. oooOOOooo
