Anyone else want to join me in the life of leisure. I think I'll quit my job too and let Mr. Obama put gas in my car, food on my table and pay my mortgage. What happens when everyone gets all these "freebies" and nobody is working anymore?

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

What an important number in a girls life! My oldest turned 13 today! Happy Birthday Makiya!

We had her party on Wednesday since school was out Thursday and Friday and we were afraid kids would be out of town and unable to attend. As it turned out she had 11 of the 15 girls she invited actually show up. I don't think I had that many friends when I was her age. They had a blast. We gave her her gift today (well, the party was part of her gift), but we gave her a music CD and some good smelling body spray and body cream that she's been asking for.

Funny for the day

I asked Stacia and Shayla to clear the kitchen table so we could eat dinner. Neither one of them moved very fast, so Joshua starts yelling, "I will, I will." He went over to the table and started pulling everything on the table onto the floor. It was pretty funny!

69 pictures and 1 video of nothing!

Oh my heck. . .Stacia went on a field trip two weeks ago to Thanksgiving Point. She took the digital camera. There are 69 pictures and 1 video of nothing! I mean I think I found maybe 1-2 pictures I could actually scrap as a reminder of the trip . .or maybe scrapping nothing would be even more memorable. What do you think? Here's a few examples:

I don't know if she was taking a picture of the light pole or the handicap parking spaces.



I think there is a chicken in there somewhere.




The backend of a duck maybe?



An anteater perhaps? I don't know, I don't think anteaters live on farms and the snout doesn't like quite right . .but what else could it be?



Is that the back end of a pig or a black lamb? It's in the sheep pen obviously, but it doesn't look like one from this angle.


I thought ostriches only had 2 legs.



Now, here's something with 4 legs . . . I know this one!!!! It's a horse!!! Or a really tall goat.

Yep, every farm's gotta have power and a trash receptical!

So, there's Stacia's field trip. . hope you got something out of it, because I'm not sure she did. I still haven't figured out why the school drove 2 1/2 hours to Thanksgiving Point to see a farm, when we live in Rural Utah and there are farms by the dozen here! Oh I know . . .most farms don't have handicapped parking spots or blue trash recepticals and 2 huge power boxes! The kids needed to see and learn about those things. roflmbo!

Thanks for looking.

Hey everyone!

We had a good weekend. Spent most of it watching General Conference (a bi-annual meeting done in Salt Lake City by the leaders of our church and broadcast on TV, Radio, Satellite and Internet). We also played Cranium yesterday afternoon with the kids. My dh got a card that said he had to hum or whistle a song. The song. . .The Star Spangled Banner . .You know our National Anthem! He started humming The Battle Hymn of the Repulic roflmbo. I was on the "other" team and had seen the card, so I told him he was doing a great job humming the wrong song. He looked totally puzzled and then sat there in complete silence unable to come up with the correct tune. I finally gave him the first couple of notes and he got it and Makiya and Stacia (on his team) guessed it. They ended up winning the game, but did they really win?

I just got put on a new Creative Team. It's for Treasurestoscrap.com It's a great store. I downloaded my first kit on Saturday and will try to have a layout here in the next day or two.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Isaiah 58:6,8-9Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.
