I look forward to it..

I Love ya guys anyway  :)

Funny

Saw this on another gals sight and thought it was cute.  :D  Make sure you watch it all :)

wedding dance

 I had to sit and watch a few others while at youtube.  There are some other funny ones.

Cheesy Smile

A photo of Breanna from awhile back.  It just makes me want to smile so I thought I'd share.  Book club was last week and we read The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright.   I really enjoyed it and all the gals shared my assessment.  So I would recommend it.  :)   

Mommies Little Helper

Aleah has enjoyed helping me lately with dinner or whatever I'm making.  She is doing quite a good job!  And she's just so cute!  :)

Twins

Woke up this morning to find twins??  :)  both blossoms are from the same stem.  Had never seen this before so I thought I'd share.  I remember studding sweet peas in biology in high-school.  Learning about genes and traits that are passed down.  Twins too?

Eyeglass lost and found

As seen in Parents Mag. May 2008:

Check out Eyeglass Rescue for Kids .  For $12 you receive membership in a database and an ID sleeve that slips over the earpiece stem of you kid's spec's.  The finder calls the toll free number and they are given your name.  The center takes their name and phone # and then contacts you so that you may contact finder and retrieve your glasses.  Thought this sounded great.  Guess they ( the finder) also receives a reward too.  This wouldn't be bad for expensive sunglasses too.

Happy Birthday Dennett!!

No photo :) We love ya and hope you had an brilliant birthday!

Randy Pausch

Friend tuned me into this and thought he sounded like a great guy and might just read his book. :) Check him out on Youtube here.
Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

"Journeys" are special University Lectures in which Carnegie Mellon faculty members share their reflections on their journeys -- the everyday actions, decisions, challenges and joys that make a life.

I've been tagged

What were you up to ten years ago?   Douglas had finished his 5 yr. tour with the military.  We were moving from Sierra Vista, AZ in with his family in Mesa, AZ, while we looked for a house.  He went to work for APS.  I was being mom to Vanessa and Deven.  I decided to not continue with MaryKay after all.  Life was a bit in the air at the time.

Five things on my to do list today.  Ummm..Breanna to pre-school, make appointments, get card in the mail for BL, hour at the gym, register Breanna for kindergarden, get things for yard sale, and there is always the never ending pile of laundry.  Just 5???  I'm not as good as you Keli, my hampers are not empty right now.  :)

Five snacks I enjoy.  Lets see....Trail Mix, granola bars w/ a cup of yogurt, oatmeal cookies, apples or celery w/ peanut butter, and any goodie on hand :)

Five places I've lived.  Peoria, AZ, Germany, Colorado, Kansas, and Washington

What would you do if you became a Billionaire?  hehehe  Move :), pay off debt, help out family, invest, put money away for my kids college, Oh and buy more stamps, ink, paper and crafting tools :) , Get a personal trainer and chief, hire a maid, go to college myself, umm oh I would have to say I would buy myself and hubby a fun sports car,  travel, and travel with family    I'm sure there are more ways I would find to enjoy this windfall........

Five jobs I've had.  Child care, House sitter, fast food, Maid for a resort, and waitress.

Five things you would never guess about me.  I'm having a hard time thinking of anything.   My hubby and I eloped, I love gadgets (but rarely know how to work them), I'm a horrid speller (thank heavens for spell check), I have always wanted to water or oil paint floral paintings (really really well), Learn to kick box  :)

Okay now I have to tag some people  :)  Susan S. and Laurie H. and two of my SL's DaMomma and Aspen.  Can't wait to see what ya come up with.  Check out Keli's list.

Happy Birthday Bethany!!

Happy Birthday Bethany!!

Hope you had a great day!  Love ya sis.

Sorry I'm late. 

Zoo trip

Check out that tongue!!

Totally shocked that Breanna was brave enough to feed this guy!

A bit of water play!

The otters were so fun.  They swam and dived for us.

 

Everyone liked to see the bear.  He had quite a gathering.

So hard not to pick the flowers.  

The girls loved the flowers.  They kept trying to pick them all.  

Breanna found a monster ant hill by the anteaters.  :)  Boy did we have a hard time with that hat.  Couldn't keep the lining from falling in her eyes.  hehehe

End of our trip in the zoo.  Taking a rest in the shad of the trees.  

Time for Lunch :) !!!

The Rose Garden

A hidden treasure!

Love the yellow and pink roses.

The girls loved checking out all the roses.  They ran through them happily smelling them.

The kids all had testing this week.  Aims or something I think.  :)  No homework is the only thing the kids like about it.  I stayed busy and made a few cards.  Friday was definitely the busiest.  Up early to get the girls to the zoo.  Got home about 5pm and sewed patches on Deven's scout uniform.  (So, he was ready for his trip saturday morning @ 6:30am.)  Then got everyone in the car to go to our ward dinner.  By the time we got home about 9pm I was ready to drop.  :)  Not a boring day  :D  Hope you all had a great week and a happy weekend.  Stay safe 

Breanna's Do

Okay I had to share this funny rut that Breanna has gotten into.  While Gammer was here she did Breanna's hair one day like this.  Now she will not wear her hair any other way.  :)  

Girly Girl

Aleah the diva!!  :)  She's my fourth girl and she is the only one that is sooo into makeup.  Evan as a baby she had to have makeup in her hand.  She wants makeup (lipstick) every day even when I don't wear any.  She asks for it every morning.  Now she wants eye shadow too!  Look out world she's only gettin older :}

Vanessa's New Color

Okay, Vanessa got after me for not posting about her change of hair color.  It has been two weeks. :)

For those who are shocked  At least she didn't what to pierce something or get a tattoo.  :) hehehe

It does look nice and it's fun to shake things up once in a while.  

March 31-April 4

Wow, what a whiz banger of a week.  It has been so busy.  No photos for this week unless ya want to see my cards in-which you will have to bounce over to ShyCreations.  Didn't post but one I see.  :)  Others are Mothers Day cards and I'll post them after I mail them.  Can't believe it's already Saturday.  The kids had half days on thursday and friday, making the week seem short??  Weird anyway. :)   Several appointments this week.  One ending with Breanna back in the dentist chair on Thursday next for fillings.  (Oh boy, this should be fun!!)  I got to be diagnosed with plantar fascia-tis.  So mom, here are the exercise recommended to help.  For those who don't care Stop reading :)  He said after 6 months (or was it weeks) I should be pain free.  Yeah!!  Have another appointment in six weeks.  So we will see.  :)  Though I'm not sure this covers all my pain.  

Wake up with a stretch.

Before you get out of bed in the morning, stretch your calf muscles, arch and Achilles tendon by reaching for your toes and gently flexing your foot. This helps reverse the tightening of the plantar fascia that occurs overnight.

Long Sitting Stretch

1) Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you

2) Loop a towel around the top of your affected foot

3) Pull the towel towards you until a stretch is felt across the bottom of your foot

4) Hold for 30 seconds then relax - repeat 10 times

Achilles Stretch
1) Stand facing a wall and place your hands straight out on the wall
2) Step back with your affected foot keeping it flat on the floor
3) Move the other leg forward and slowly lean in toward the wall
4) Stop when you feel a stretch through the calf
5) Hold for 30 seconds then relax - repeat 10 times

Stair Stretch
1) Stand on a step on the balls for your feet
2) Hold the rail for balance
3) Slowly lower the heel of the injured foot until a stretch is felt
4) Hold for 30 seconds then relax - repeat 10 times

Happy Birthday Papa!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Sorry, this is the only photo I could find of ya  :)  Hope you've had a great day and mom makes ya another cake.  :)  Haven't got you a card in the mail yet but I will.  I love ya!
