Happy Anniversary!

So today is our 9th Anniversary and what a suprise we woke up to! In came Cara, Logan, and Scottie yelling, "Happy Anniversary!" They were carrying two plates of food, a mug of water, and a mug of milk. They knew Daddy doesn't like milk. As thoughtful as this was, it was not quite edible. The sausage was partially frozen and still quite raw. Cara had found a carton of Cool Whip in the back of my fridge that I had been meaning to throw away for the longest time. She was careful enough to scoop the whip cream around the mold spot. She even managed to cut the apples with no blood loss. Luckily I have had the stomach flu for the last couple days, so I blamed my inability to eat the lovely breakfast on a queasy stomach. Jared had no excuse, being a good sport,ate the half-frozen Eggo waffles. We really are loved by our little ones. And do we ever love them!

Good things on T.V.

Good things on T.V. are few and far between, but I have a favorite show that really brings out the best in me. I love Super Nanny. I am nowhere near as extreme as the examples that they have on the show, but I can see a little bit of me in every mom. I love taking the new ideas and imparting into my life. I have to say being a mom is hard! I so appreciate any ideas that make it easier and my home more happy. This is a show that truly is worth watching. So moms, if you haven't seen it, take some time for yourself and check it out!

Something to make you smile.

He makes me smile!

So I've been tagged...again

Gotta love this game!

What was I doing ten years ago?

I was braving the tundra winter of Rexburg, Idaho, wondering if Ricks College was really worth all the suffering; the frozen nostrils, the many slips on ice, it being so cold I wanted to cry but afraid to because I thought my tears would freeze. No, really I was enjoying my roomates, dating, dancing, flirting, oh and some schooling.

Five things to do on my list?

Dishes - done
Write this tag blog - doing
Don't get frustrated with my kids - trying to do
Potty-train Scottie - never going to happen
Watch American Idol - will do tonight(how cute is that David Archuletta?)

Three bad habits? (Do I really have to share these?)

I care too much about what others think about me.
I have to have a sweet everynight. I pretty much have been doing that my whole life, but the older I get, the more it shows.
I have a favorite online game. It's called bejeweled. It's pointless and time consuming. Don't look it up, you'll get addicted.

Places I have lived?

Tempe, AZ
Durango, Colorado
Laverkin, UT
Prescott, AZ
Rexburg, ID
Tempe, AZ
Midvale, UT
Mesa, AZ
Avondale, AZ

Things people don't know about me?

I don't like to get my fingers wet when I do the dishes. Am I spoiled or what? Thank goodness for a good dishwasher!

I get a high from returning items to the store. It's like they are buying something from me! I get more of a high returning, than shopping.

I teach piano lessons. I have a couple students, it's not much, but a nice break in the day.


Okay, now I get to tag others. Let's see who hasn't been tagged for one questionaire or another? I don't think there is anyone left. So I guess, tag - you're it.

Typical Twos

Scottie did a typical two year old thing to do. He found mommie's makeup. All I can say is it's a good thing he is cute. He gets away with a lot for that reason.




Here he is, as my little angel. Which is most of the time.



Cara(7) and Logan(5), our happy kiddos! Cara is going through the awkward stage of growing permanent teeth, but still cute as can be!
