A True Fan

Yesterday I had to take Aiden to Wal-Mart to find a birthday present for a party later on in the day.   Sometimes I really hate Wal Mart with it’s crowded aisles, rude customers, slow cashiers, insanely busy parking lot, and low-quality clothing.  Sometimes I love Wal Mart just for being a one-stop place to shop [...]

F is for FAILURE

Warning:  This is a complainy post.  I’m not in a good mood.  If you want to be uplifted, please read my previous two posts and come back another day.  This is not an uplifting post day. 
We had our last winterguard rehearsal.  The kids wanted to meet early because one had to leave for a church [...]

Donuts, Bedtime Comfort, and Baby

1.  Frozen chocolate donuts dipped in milk.   Mmmmmmm.  (Did you know that by freezing the donuts, there are no longer calories?  True story.  You are freezing out the calories. )
2.  Crawling into bed and feeling my husband’s arm reach around my waist even though he’s sound asleep.
3.  Holding my baby as he falls [...]

Beautiful Things That Make Me Happy

Karen had a really interesting post today.  She listed 5 things that make her happy, then asked us to comment with 5 things that made us happy (because if she could have a number 6, it would be people leaving comments on her blog, right?).  I gladly left my 5 things, but within a few [...]

Hey! Where’s My Secret Decoder Ring?

This weekend my family was able to attend a bar-b-que for our ward birthday party.  On every table was bunches of bags of Cracker Jacks.  The turnout to the party was actually quite low, so we got to take home a lot of Cracker Jacks.  Ches and I were excited because we knew there was [...]

Real Moms

Okay, Alyson tagged me, so I guess I better do this.  (And hey, what’s with the whole “payback” bit, Al?  When’s the last time I tagged you??  Or are you bitter because I was so awesome with 2 Truths and A Lie?  heh).
Real Moms buy treats for being good while shopping.

So… to play all you [...]

Congrats!

Congratulations to Plastic Obsession!  Kris had her baby on March 19th.  Sounds like all went well, mom and newest son (is that Thing 3?  Or does he get to be the Cat in the Hat?) are both healthy and happy.  So… YAY!!!  The pics are beautiful, Kris.  Can’t wait ’til you start blogging again.

And The Answer Is…

#2 — I have never been white-water rafting, although it is true that I can really only dog paddle.
Guessing your three things was really hard. Like Karen, I’m usually not good at this game because 1) I’m a horrible liar and B) I’m extremely gullible. I can’t tell when others are lying to me. [...]

Two Truths and a Lie

You know that game Two Truths and a Lie where you tell two things about yourself that are true and one that is a lie and everyone else has to guess which is which?  Well, we’re going to play that game today.  I will give you my three.  You leave me your guess of which [...]

Testing

I’m testing putting photos on my blog via Flickr.  I have used the upload tool here before, but I never like what it does to my photos.  So, following Julia’s instructions in response to Alyson’s request… I’m trying this.

Wow, that was so easy! Now, if I just figure out how to put up video [...]
