Cute Kids!

I just have to take a minute to say how grateful I am for my kids! Gracie's halloween costume came in the mail today and she had to try it on! She is being a mermaid! She was so darn cute! Then since sissy was wearing a costume, Bekah had to try on her doggy costume! She loved it she wore it all night! She was soooo cute! And Jake has been trying to help me clean and get things done! So sweet! I have been working on his costume, which he keeps reminding me he needs by this Friday!!! He is going to be a skeliton! They are just such sweet little spirits and I love them so much! Even though they drive me crazy most the time!I will post pictures when we actually dress up on Friday for the school Family night!

Stink!

Okay, have you ever had a great huge pumpkin that you couldn't wait to carve? We did, a beauty. Then it got cold and the heater came on, and well apparently it was sitting to close to the heater! You guessed it! It went soggy, rot in, STINKY all over my floor! Did I mention it was on the carpeted floor! Yeah! I have scrubbed, while trying not to lose my lunch, and it still stinks!!! So I am trying all different fun ways to get rid of it!!! I really want to just scream!!!

And while we are on cleaning! Have you ever cleaned your house top to bottom, scrubbed, swept, the whole shabang, and then had it completely ruined within 12 hours of getting it done! How does it happen! They are only little kids! Not monsters, or are they??? I would like to clean and have it stay that way for at least 24 hours! Is that to much to ask???

Okay I have gotten that all out of my system and now I get to go clean, again!

Raod Show

Okay, you have all heard how busy I was with Road show, Well, I have pictures! The youth did great! The got 2nd place! It was so fun getting to know them and work with them! Our theme was Pioneer times. Not the easiest, but we all had fun! So here are a few pictures. The ones with me are before, giving instructions and helping them get ready. The rest are of the show! The slide show will be to the side! Enjoy!

Life is Stressful

Life is full of stress! If its not one thing its another! I have been stressing a few different things lately, and when I am stressing I try to read my scriptures more. Well as I was reading last night before bed, my favorite time, the kids are all asleep! My favorite thing about reading the scriptures is that it doesn't matter how many times I read it, I always learn something! I was reading in 3 Nephi and as I came to the close of chapter 13, a felling of enlightenment came to me, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" speaking of blessings. Light! Seek the Lord first, everything else will fall into place! I know simple, but something I needed to hear again! What can I say I am stubborn! So, I have decided to once again realign my life, so that my family and the Lord come first, nothing else matters. If I am doing what I need to to do this, everything else will be fine. And I woke with peace! So this is my challenge, don't let little things, activities, bills, people stress you out! Put them in there place, after the Lord & your family!

I am back!

Wow! The last month has been busy! And then, just when I thought I would have time to relax and have fun, I get strep throat! Yeah, it was so fun!!! NOT! I am starting to feel better, and am finialy getting back to things! Now that I am better, I get to start working on Jacobs halloween costume, he wants to be a skelaton, but a nice one. As for Grace, she wants to be a mermaid, and I do not want to make that one, so we are ordering it. And Bekah will be a puppy! We already have hers. And next comes Christmas! It seems like it will be here before we know it!

Football is coming to a end for another year. Jacob has had fun and hopes he will get to play next year after we move. He really likes his teacher and is doing great! He still loves anything solider/army related, what can I say he is his fathers son!

Grace is really enjoying her dance classes. She is learning fast, and even has a few friends from church in her class. She makes friends so easily. It is really fun to watch her in school and dance.

And Bekah, oh sweet little Bekah! She is my biggest challenge. She is forever into everything! I can't find half my jewelry or cds or anything! Half my makeup was wasted all over the bathroom, and her body! Apparently she thought it was paint. And I am continually finding marker and pen everywhere! The newest is on my computer desk! And I think I spend more on wipes than diapers! For some reason she thinks she needs to 'clean up' everything and everyone! Well, all I can say is it is a good thing she is so stinkin cute!

I have pictures to upload then I will share them! I'd love to hear from everyone!

So Long ago!

Wow! Fall is passing so fast! I have been supper busy and forgot to blog! So school is in full swing and with that comes a storm that is PTO! I love being involved and staying busy, but it is a little crazy right now! I have been teaching art after school to about 140 kindergarten thru 4th graders, it is fun, and completely tiring! I am also helping our youth with the Road Show, it has been a fun experience, since I was not a member in my youth it is nice to learn more! And our youth are really great! Jacob is doing flag football and doing great! He scored two touch downs last game! Gracie is doing dance again and loving it. It is amazing what a difference a year in age makes when doing dance, she picks things up so much faster now. She is also loving being in Kindergarten! I can't believe she is big enough!Bekah is growing fast! She is working on potty training and saying new words everyday! She tries to repeat whatever you say, it is so cute, and scary! And that is all! I am now up to date on my blog!!! I have a few pictures I will add soon! I am to tired and need to be off to bed while I can!!!

Movie Review

Okay, this is so crazy! I never thought that I would love this movie, but I do!!! Since I have been recovering I have been watching some movies, I just watched Hairspray, with Nikki Blonsky(who is great!), John Travolta (whom I have always liked, but love now!), and many other great up and comings! It is such a great movie! It looks at old problems with a new light! It is fun, funny!(go John!), and a great feel good movie. I love the way they stand up for what they believe is right, and they aren't afraid to love! It was great! I know, am I crazy! But it is a great movie, that is being added to my Christmas list! Share your new or old favorites, I'll give them a try too!

Wow! Summer's Over?!

Wow! I can't believe summer is over! My kids started school today! I know have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner! They grow so fast! Well the last month has been busy. The kids both really enjoyed soccer, neither team won a lot, but they had fun! And Jacob is now into the football season. He is playing flag football again. They have started practice and have their first game in a couple of weeks. Gracie gets to start dance again. She is so excited! I just had sinus surgery! Fun I know! I am doing great, recovering faster than I expected. My wonderful mom came over to take care of all of us, while I couldn't! That's been my fun for the month! And that is about all that has happened. More is coming I am sure!
