Boo To You!

Halloween 2010. Here are my little monsters!
Miles the cowboy!
Drew is crazy obsessed with Indiana Jones! He loves all the movies and the Wii lego game. So it was no surprise that this is what he wanted to be this year.
Audrey the scary vampire!
I think she looks so scary she could be in Twilight!
Maggie's always got to be something scary and gruesome! Lets see..mummy, skeleton, Vampire, and this year is is a dead pirate. I've tried the ballerina/cheerleader idea, but it will never be a go for this scary-lovin girl.

15 years ago today

October 18, 1995. It was a beautiful fall morning in Provo, Utah. The weather was warm. The leaves were bright yellow and orange. There was a feeling of excitement in the air! This was the day I entered the MTC as I was about to embark in one of the most challenging, amazing, and spiritual experiences of my life. 3 weeks in the MTC to prepare for my mission to the Pennsylvania Harrisburg mission. I was excited, and ready. Little did I know what was to come....amazing spiritual experiences, a threesome companionship, and an awesome zone to share the journey with. This was right after my arrival. Waiting in my room for my companions to show up.



My Comps Sister (can't remember her name) she went to Spokane, WA. and Sister Varley who went to Charleston, SC.
My Zone--I was the only one from my zone who went to PA--the elders went to Canada, Alabama, Florida and Washington DC.

Keep out!

ALl kids banned from my room! Especially Miles! Unless you want to cuddle in bed of course, but otherwise--KEEP OUT!
THe amount of toys I collect on a daily basis from my room is rediculous! Why do they insist on bringing toys into my room? hmmm...because it's clean and they need a nice wide open space to play on? I've had it though! ANd the biggest problem we have is 1. Miles gets into the bathroom garbage.(see previous nasty post) 2. Miles gets into the toliet. 3. Miles turns the computer on and off over and over again. --one of these days it's going to be broken. 4. Miles turns the printer on and off over and over again. 5. When I'm getting ready, Miles manages to open the drawers and dump all my stuff out like hundreds of Q-tips. I really want my room to be a nice quiet place for me to come and relax and it's impossible with all the toys they bring in, so it had to come this.
SOrry guys! Unfortunately, the big kids just climb over, but at least it keeps Mr. trouble out, even if he's not happy about it!

36 in review

Yep, I turned 36 on the 30th! What an old woman I'm becoming--here is a recap of my day.
1. Awakened by my kids with singing, lots of handmade cards, and tons of hugs and kisses. ( I think they're more excited about my birthday than I am.)
2. Read my candybar poster realizing that I'm going to have a hard time losing weight if I have this thing around. Must share!


3. Opened my new willow tree figurine that the kids picked out. It's the same one they broke about 2 months ago, so now it's replaced.
4. Went to Body Sculp that kicked my butt!
5. Picked up lunch from Panera for Drew and I and broght it home--enjoyed the overcast day we're having--still very hot though.
6. ate milky way from candy bar poster--good thing I worked my can off at body sculp for that! Worth it?
7. Lots of Birthday calls from Mom, Dad, Marga, Robyn Susan and Cari.
8. Lots of Facebook wishes.
9. No cleaning today!
10. No cooking today!
11. Quick and easy throw in the oven chicken cordon bleu
12. Cheesecake for dessert! Yum!
13. CLinque Happy from Owen--my favorite! And 3 pairs of new shoes! Thanks!
14. When putting Audrey to bed --telling her thanks for wishing me a Happy Birthday so many times today--literally it was in the 30's!
15. Ended the night with a backrub from Owen while we watched 30 Rock and the Office.
Great day with a Great year to come! Tomorrow it will be lunch with Owen at Serendipity with no kids!
