Cutie...Patooty...

Sophie has been so fun lately....she is really a funny little girl with such a great spirit about her. We feel so blessed that she is a part of our family. She says some of the funniest things...I have been under a lot of stress lately and when that happens the acne comes forth. I call it acne, because i hate the words zit and pimple. Yuck! Anyway, i had a second chin going on for awhile there and anytime we would be around anyone at all she would proudly announce that "mommy has a shicken pok", while pointing at my chin. yah, nice. I can't wait to do that to her when she gets older.

Bitter Sweet...

The jury is in....Guilty!!! My dear sister and her family have had a rough several months and it appears to be looking up...The closing arguments were made today and with the jury only diliberating a little over an hour the verdict came back with Guilty on both counts! It has been a battle and journey for them and all the family to try and cope with the crap that was placed upon us all. He will be sentenced on December 9th, one year from the day that life changed tragically. We all luv Susan and her kiddos so much and are hopeful that they can put this part of the crap behind them, and we pray that Tara can heal from all the hurt that he inflicted upon her. She is one brave and smart young woman!

So, here we go! Back on the Blog Wagon. I will conquer this "Spyware" crap if it kills me. It has been awhile. I find myself with way to much time on my hands since I haven't been able to get online. lol I am very excited to finally get to read and comment on all of your blogs again. (crossing fingers)

No, seriously though, I have really been struggling over the past several weeks (not because of the computer), and am super greatful for all the support that's come my way. I have been forced to function, whether I wanted to or not. So even though hoppin in the blue van (minus a bra) and headin to Micky D's to get a D.C., or standing at my island in desperate need of a shower and cutting flyers for the PTA seems lame, it's totally been beneficial to my health and well being. So thanks a bunch for all the house calls and phone calls that have come my way. I super Appreciate it!

On a lighter note, we are all working on being healthy, and physically fit. Even though i've taken a few weeks off of biking, i'm thinkin i could get back on tomorrow and go like no other. I am definately feelin better physically. YEAH! So, i'm headin to the local jock shop and pickin up some cold weather clothes for the saddle. It'll be GRAND! I feel sad to say that i'm quiting the D.C. yet again, and have to lay off the specialty bagel treat that has stemmed from all these amazing juicy red garden fresh tomatoes. They appear to like my butt cheekers and thighs too much. Oh well, it was good while it lasted! So, all ya'll that have picked up my guilty pleasure, enjoy and think of me while partaking.... :( Luv you all!

Long time, no post....

It's been awhile. While I wish I could say that I have been doing tons of fun things, I can't. Life is pretty much easy going and peaceful right now with not alot going on. I did finish the Twilight serious in record time though. It was a great read. I was anticipating the new perspective book that Stephanie Meyer was working on, Midnight Sun: Edward's Version of Twilight, until somebody illegally posted it on the Internet. She has stopped working on it indefinately, but has graciously posted a partial draft of the book on her site here http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html . I am not all the way through it and it is very difficult to read much before my lovely PC shuts down on me, because I unknowingly downloaded some crappy spyware shiz!

Anyway, other than that, not to much going on with the little people in school. The little people just started flag football (Bridger), and baseball (Bailey). More to come on that topic.

to be continued....

Obsessed.....

I am so dreadfully behind on posting, it's not even funny! And due to my recent obsession with the "Twilight" Series, i'm pretty much non functional when it comes to anything, but reading! Ugh! I luv it! I am a little mad that I didn't read it sooner, but I heard that it was about vampires and wasn't the slightest bit interested. That is until Ashlee asked me if i'd read them and i told her no and why not. She assured me that I would luv it and I do. I have done nothing for the last two days, but read, all 498 pages of it! The little people have been so good just to play and leave me be! Yeah! I even heard Sophie tell the boys when they came in yelling for me, "SSHHH, mommas readin!" David definatly has not benefited from this whatsoever. He even muttered the question, "what did you do all day", apparently the house was trashed. The only benefit to me just now getting started, is that I don't have to wait for the sequels. They're already waiting patiently for me on the shelves at the store. Gotta get there tomorrow! The suspense is killing me!

Shoshone Falls

While we were in Idaho we visited Shoshone Falls Park! These falls are actually higher than Niagra Falls. Not much else to say about it except it was pretty to look at for a minute and a really nice park! The kids seemed to enjoy it. The falls flow into the Snake River! You know, the river Evel Knivel tried to jump on his motorcycle. We have also visited that spot before. It was at this park that we decided to bring James home with us for a couple of weeks. He is a great Kid and we have luved having him around.

Twin Falls Temple

Over the past few weeks we have had some fun dayz. Besides the 24th, we took a trip up to Idaho to attend the Twin Falls Temple open house with Nanny. That is the temple Nanny & Poppy will be workers in. Now they don't have to drive to Boise anymore to work at the Boise temple. They only have to go about 40 miles from there home in Paul to Twin Falls. We met up with Susan, Tara, & James and had lunch before we all went to see the Temple. It was obviously a very beautiful and spiritual experience. That is until Sophie took off running through a special curtain in one of the rooms and I about died!!!! HOly Cow, we had men running from every directions to try and stop her! Oh Dear! There was also an individual that puked all over in the Celestial Room on the plush White carpet. Nasty! The spirit must have hit them pretty Strong! Anyway, it was a great experience for the boys and i'm so glad we made the journey up there.
