Funny Of the Day

Michael
On the way home from an errand this morning we picked up some donuts for breakfast. I had Michael carry the food but leave it in the front seat while I drove. Conversation follows~ Michael~ "Can I hold the donuts please?" Mommy~ "No, let's just leave them here, you can carry them inside when we get home." Michael~ (pouty) "Why?" Mommy~ "Cause I'm a big mean bossy Mommy, that's why." Michael~ "No, you're not!!!" Mommy~ "Really?" Michael~ "No, cause girls aren't bossy." Mommy~ guffaw! I'm glad he thinks so anyways.

Watching Conference ON TV!

Church
I'm so excited!!!!  I get to watch it on my TV, I've already got it set to record!  I, on a whim tonight, searched the DVR for "General" and sure enough it popped right up!!!  I have a BYU Chanel!  So I don't have to rig my computer, I can just turn on the TV, I can pause and rewind, and watch it 100 times if I want!!!  This is pretty cool!

Conference and Aiden struggles.

Aiden, Church
It's conference this weekend, and a friend of mine, Kate, mentioned taking a few questions and keeping them in mind as you listen to conference, to look for answers.  So I've been reflecting on that.  I'm challenging anyone who's listening to conference this weekend to bring some questions in your life right now and see if you get a little more out of conference. It's been a hard few days with Aiden.  He's been really pushing the limits and having lot of tantrums.  He's a very trying child, at the moment there isn't a joint from my shoulders to my finger tips that doens't hurt from my daily struggles to keep him safe and to get him into his car seat on our many daily runs to take people to…

Blessing Vacation

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures, To new beginnings
This is going to be really long, I told you I'd make up for missing posting... I'll post a link to a gallery with a lot more pictures later. Here's the details of our trip (or everyone else's trip to us), I'm detailing food cause I asked help from some friends and they helped me with menu ideas. Mom Ryan and Jared flew in late Thursday. They were supposed to come about 9, so I kept the kids up. At about 9 my Mom called said they were lost and to send the boys to bed, I got them ready and had to threaten that I wouldn't let them see grandma if they didn't go to bed that instant, and that if they did that they could come out for…

I’m back!

Family Fun
I missed blogging two days in a row, I'll make up for it later today... That's a first, I was just having so much fun with my company! They just left so I should have more free time soon, we had SUCH a good time. It left me wishing we could do it a whole lot more! I can't think of one thing that went stressfully wrong the whole time. Yay!

Family Vacation

Family Fun
Well, here we are.  A dozen people in one place all gathered to celebrate Joseph's birth, and blessing this weekend. My Mom, and two of my brothers, Ryan and Jared, are here.  Mark and Peggy, my IL's and Kevin's brother Sam and his wife Sara are here too, but they're staying in a hotel on the other side of the city as all the hotels locally are all full, thanks to the NCAA finals in our backyard. So far we've just hung out around here and gone to Olive Garden lastnight for dinner.  Kevin took Ryan, Jared and Aiden to Fry's Electronics, that's a big deal, Fry's is a super electronics store.  It's got computer components, books, computers, macs and pc's, projectors, office furniture, camera's and camera equipment, full theatre…

Hello Goodbye!

Blog Changes
A little announcement, Kevin has started his own blog. He says he doesn't plan on writing nearly as much as me so not to get all excited, hahaha, I told him that not many people write as much as me. Which brings me to goodbye, since he has his own site, he'll now host those video's that were previously in my menu bar. They were mostly his thing anyways so it makes sense that they'd move over there. Here's a link to the new site. kevin.steelelife.com And sorry to anyone who has that song stuck in their head now... :D

Chocolate Mix Skittles

Family Fun, To new beginnings
So I decided to try something new.  I would have never tried them before, but I've been given a "your favorite chocolate and music" theme in a gift exchange I'm participating in, and while browsing through the chocolate aisle at Sam's I thought they may be interesting, and if they were gross at least I'd have something funny to laugh about. They're actually pretty good.  Not real creamy melty chocolate, more chewy, like tootsie rolls, or the vanilla tootsie rolls (in the blue wrapper) you can get at Halloween, coated in a normal skittle candy shell.  They have five flavors, vanilla, s'more, chocolate caramel, chocolate pudding, and brownie batter.   I could see them being a real hit if people can just get past the "Chocolate Skittles?!?!?!  That could be nasty!" shock.  No,…
