Christmas is over! : (

I don't know about anyone else but I think Christmas went by way too fast! It seems like we just put up our Christmas stuff and it is time to take it down! :o On Christmas Eve we went to my families house. It is always so much fun there! I got an awesome present! A homemade pillow! It is a Super girl pillow! I absolutely love it! I had a wonderful Christmas! I got the Nikon camera I wanted and a photo printer! YAY! We had yummy steak for dinner! The steak was a gift from Steven's mom. We all agree that we should have steak for Christmas every year! LOL! I still have not been sleeping well. I am so tired during the day and if we put a movie on I fall asleep watching it! At least I am getting sleep then! LOL! It has been so nice having the boys home from school! Steven was home for a few days too! I love it when we are all together! We don't do anything exciting just spend time playing video games and watching movies together! I love it cause we can stay in our PJ's enjoying each others company! Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas!

HUGS!!

Can't sleep! :(

YES, I am up at 3:30 this morning! Why? I don't know! I was sitting out in the living room at 2:30 not sure what to do! This happens a lot! Then of course I am exhausted during the day! I am sure many of you out there have this problem! Do you have any remedies that help? I am sick of being tired all the time! I was hoping that I would get a good sleep last night cause I shopped with Kalob ALL day! It was so much fun though! I have so much still to do and I need sleep!

It's December!!

I can't believe it is already December!! How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was wonderful! I got to hang out with family and eat a lot of yummy food! I love chatting with Lani and Chelsea! They always make me laugh!! Steven's mom, sister Kim and her daughter Bella came out on Friday! I was nervous but that was for nothing! It was such a wonderful visit! It was so nice having a little girl in the house! I got to read to Bella and spend time at the park with her too! We also took them to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights! It was beautiful there! There was a life size nativity! The visitors center held a room with nativity sets from around the world! Steven and my first date was at a stake center that had nativity sets! So that brought back memories! The only problem about the weekend is that I had a horrible toothache! It just would not go away! Steven stayed home Monday to take me to the dentist. I have to get a root canal! YUCK! But first they needed to help the infection in my tooth. So they had to take the nerves out! Ok, I was really scared about that! I even started shaking! But the worst part was the shots! Steven stayed with me and held my hand the whole time! He is such a sweetheart! Then we had to go and pick up some meds for the pain and antibiotics! My mouth was so swollen and I was still numb that I sounded like I was one year old! Steven was laughing so hard! And when I smiled only have my face did! And I could only flare half my nose! The kids thought that was hilarious!! LOL! Yesterday was also Kalob's 11th birthday! We just celebrated at home! Steven and I made a cake and gave Kalob a few gifts! He said it was the best birthday ever!! This morning I am in a lot of pain! Steven did not want to leave me cause I was in tears! I only took half my pain pill today cause I can't be groggy when I pick up the kids from school! I am doing a little better now. I have to go back on Saturday for the root canal. I'm not looking forward to that!

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone in blog land! It is the day before Thanksgiving! What is everyone doing? I am going to my families house! I love it there! This year I am making mashed potatoes! So I bought a ton of them! I can't wait to hang out with everyone! The next day Steven's Mom, his sister Kim her daughter Bella are coming from California. I have to say I am kinda nervous.I have not seen his mom for years! I can't wait to see Kim and my niece!

This past weekend was kind of rough! I had a feeling to check my paypal account and noticed some things on there that we did not buy! $1300 worth of stuff from our account!!!!!! It was happening that day! I am so happy I had the feeling to check it! When the guy from paypal was fixing it he said the guy was still in my account trying to buy stuff! The guy was from pakistan! I was in tears all morning! We are still dealing with it cause more stuff came out today from an old account that we have at the bank!! So we got overdraft charges cause we don't keep money in that account! The guy was able to get my password from a keystroke virus! So everyone make sure you check your accounts! If it could happen to me it could happen to anyone!!

Well, I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!! I am not going to eat anything before dinner so I can stuff myself with turkey!! LOL!!

Hugs!!!

Decorating for Christmas!

Hi! This weekend was really fun! We started decorating for Christmas! I think that decorating this early just means we get to enjoy the spirit of Christmas longer! Digging everything out and putting it up just to have to take it down a few weeks later just does not make sense to me. Plus, both boys had nothing going on this weekend so we all got to work on decorating together! This might be the last year Eric helps us for a while since he will be in college next year! :( We have one tree in our living room and one in the front room of the house. We put one there too because we like to see it when we come home. I know it is silly but it is something we do. Both trees have ornaments that mean something to us. The tree in the front room has ornaments that we get engraved every year. I have been doing this since I was a little girl. So we have a lot of them! We also put snowflakes on it. The kids and I cut out the snowflakes. It is just something fun to do! The tree in the living room has ornaments that we paint or the kids have created in school. I love those! It is funny to see the ornaments that they painted when they were really little. And the ones from school have their pictures on them. It is so fun to see how much they change every year! I will try to put pics up of our tree. But the printer that uploads all my pics broke down so I need to figure something out!

*I added a new section! I am putting together a list of printables! It is not done yet but there are a few things so far. It will be down the right side of the page!*

Hope you all have a great week!!

I can't believe it is November!

WOW! Time has passed so quickly! Christmas is next month! It is almost half way through the school year too! Halloween was so much fun! We never passed out candy from our house so we decided we would do that this year! I decorated the front yard and Kalob dressed up as Edward from Twilight. He wore a shirt that said "What if I'm not the hero?" on the front and on the back it said "What if I'm the bad guy?" I also did his face and hair like Edward's! He loved it! He had so much fun passing out candy too! Steven took him Trick or Treating for a few blocks. Eric had some friends do his makeup and he went to a party as Joker from Batman. His makeup looked awesome! It was a great night! But we have way too much candy left over! lol! That Saturday Eric was accepted to the school he wants to go to! WOOHOO! I am so happy for him! He has been working so hard to get where he is now! Now we just need to see if he gets into the honors college! Yesterday I voted! I am so happy with how things turned out! I left the polling place so happy! I did not grow up with parents that ever voted! I never knew how important it was! But when Eric was 12 he was already learning all about politics and he got me so interested! The last election was the first time I ever voted! I now know how very important it is and I will be voting everytime now! Kalob is trying out new hip hop classes. The place he goes to right now changed teachers and the other kids in class don't listen at all and Kalob hates it now! Kalob just wants to learn and when the teacher takes so much time telling the kids to calm down it takes away from the learning. Kalob tried another class last week and he said it was just ok. Tonight I am taking him to another place that sounds like a lot of fun! I just want him to be happy! The only thing I don't like is that the class is Wednesdays instead of Fridays. This weekend I have Super Saturday at Lani's ward. I am so excited! It seems like forever since I have seen her! We have so much fun hanging out and I want to learn some card making tips from her too!
I hope you all have a great rest of your week!

Halloween Crafts & Update!


Well, the kids and I made some new Halloween crafts! Even Eric made one!
I thought they turned out real cute! The kits were only 99 cents at Michaels!
The hardest one was the pirate! It had a lot of pieces to put together! My favorite are the skeleton and little alien! We also made little ghosts that are hanging on the tree in the front yard! I have been pretty busy. I started working again last week. I really like working. It is fun talking to people and helping them find what they need! It is only while the kids are in school so that I can make some extra money for Christmas! The kids went back to school this week. It is fun hanging out with them while they are on break! But it's time to get back into our routine!
Last weekend I hung out with Lani and Trina! It was so much fun having a girls night out! We had dinner then went and worked on cards and scrapbooks! I used the Cricut for the first time too! Thanks Lani for the help! I want one really bad now! LOL! I think that it would make crafts a lot easier! But I think I am going to wait till after Christmas cause I want the kids to get the things that they want. Well, that is my little update! Hope you are all having a great week! YEAH it is FRIDAY! Enjoy the weekend!

HUGS!

New craft and weekend news!

Photobucket

Over the weekend Kalob and I made this! I think it turned out real cute! It was in a kit that I have had since last Christmas!. But I did not like the paper and I added other things that were not in the kit. I used the left over paper from the Family craft I did a few weeks ago. Steven and forgot all about conference on Saturday! We hung out with the kids and then we went a got a few groceries and sandwich stuff for dinner! Sunday we got up and watched conference which was awesome! Afer that we watched a documentary on President Thomas S. Monson. It was amazing! I had no idea all the things he has accomplished! Then we watched the afternoon session of conference. It has been a long time since I'd cried so much in one day! (If you would like more information about our church or conference go to LDS.org.)
Then Steven and I made spaghetti and dirt cups! You know those ones with gummy worms and oreos in chocolate pudding! YUM! It was a terrific weekend!! Hope that everyone else had a great weekend too!

We survived the week!

Last week was so hectic! If you see the post below you will see why! I am so tired today plus! Friday went great! Kalob had his hip hop class. They are doing this awesome dance to Come Together (the Micheal Jackson version). We rushed home just in time to take pictures of Eric and his date for homecoming! She was actually pulling up at the same time we were! She is adorable and really sweet! She drove cause Eric does not have his licence yet! Then she took him back to meet her parents! Plus her brother wanted to meet him cause Eric does so well with the stock markets at school and he wanted to know how he did it! lol! Eric at the start of it had $100,00 fake dollars and ended up a few weeks later with over $300,000! Even the teacher wanted to find out how Eric did so well! Steven's appointments went alright. He closed 3 deals which is really good but he needs a few more to make his goal. The quarter is over for the kids! WOOHOO! A much needed break for all of us! I think I am going to look for a new job. I am bored at home and we could use a little extra money! So I am trying to find something while the kids are in school. I used to be a sales leader at Bath and Body Works. I loved it there but it was too far away. There is a new one opening up close by next month so maybe I will check there. I also might try the new Target near there too. Today we have a little presentation in primary on prayer. So we are going to have the kids talk about a time that they said prayers when they were scared or needed an answer. The kids really like that idea too. I hope that you are all doing well! HUGS!!

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

This week so far...

has been busy. Sunday Eric blessed the sacrament for the first time! It was so awesome to see him up there and to hear him! Kalob was in the primary presentation and did awesome! He had a part to speak and was even in a group of 10 kids who sang We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet. It went very well. Our 11 year old class did great too! We brought them treats for behaving so well. We had a fun time in class too. We did not plan a lesson cause we had so much going on. So we played games and talked. Then we came home and Eric finished packing for his triip to Prescott. He was only going for 2 days so he did not have to much more to pack. We made hamburgers on the grill. YUM!! I do not know why but things taste so much better barbecued!! So then Monday I got up at 5:30 am and got ready for the day and took Eric to school cause he was leaving that morning for Presecott. Then I took Kalob to school. I came home did laundry and cleaned the kitchen. I had to take a small nap cause I did not sleep well the night before. Then I got Kalob from school. Kalob does not have any homework this week! WOOHOO! It is the last week of the quarter! Time is going by so fast! Then I decided to go through paperwork! I have a basket in the kitchen where all the bills go and it got piled up. I went through and found all the new bills and filed the others. I fed Kalob dinner and Steven brought him and I home dinner so that we could have a mini date while watching the new season of Heroes. Today Eric comes home and Steven has 4 appointments! The last week of the month is the most stressful for Steven. But the week especially cause of Erics trip, Kalob's parent teacher conference, homecoming carnival, game, Eric's first homecoming dance and Kalob's hip hop class! Steven has 15 appointments for this week too! I am just praying that we get through this week without any more stress than that! Wish us luck!!! Hope you all are having a terrific week!!!

Steven's Birthday!



A few days ago was Steven's b-day! I have not written in my blog in a few days cause we have been extremley busy! Well, the barbecue was our gift to Steven for his special day! I had the day planned. There was no place to put the bbq before his b-day so I didn't plan to pick it up till then. Steven was supposed to have a few appointments that day, so after I took the kids to school I was going to pick it up and come home and make the cake. Lani even offered to help me pick it up with her van cause my car is small. My day did not turn out that way. Steven woke up to a message saying his first appt. canceled. Ok, no problem I will just go pick up the bbq a little later. Then another appt. and another canceled! So, Steven has the day free! I was not sure what to do! Kalob even asked, "mom what are you going to do?" So,I decided that he should just come with me and we could make a day of it! We went to a few places trying to find the best deal and the best grill for our family. Steven has never had a barbecue before! He has always wanted one but we were always unable to get one. He found one he really likes and it was priced very reasonable. It even has a burner on the side so he can cook rice or veggies! We had to take it out of the box to fit it in the car! LOL! Then we were able to have lunch together! I brought him home and he put together the bbq while I picked up the kids from school. Then he cooked steaks for us! They were the best steaks ever!! He was so happy and excited to use the grill! He was like a little kid with a new toy! We are planning on using it Saturday night to make chicken. We would tonight but we are so busy! Kalob has hip hop, Eric has a ceremony for being Vice President of FBLA. And somewhere in there we have to have Primary practice for Sunday! Not sure how we are going to pull this off! Or have time for dinner! LOL! As Tim Gunn says from Project Runway we have to "Make it work!" LOL!

Craft Project With Kalob


Isn't this cute! Saturday Steven and Eric were out running errands together so Kalob and I decided we wanted to do something. Well, the other day when I went to the scrapbook store with Lani I got stuff to make this! Kalob and I made this together! It was so much fun! Kalob glued everything that needed to be glued. I thought it turned out really adorable! I was going to put paper on the letters but decided to make them look old instead. I really like the colors cause they are not girlie! With a house of boys nothing pink is allowed! LOL!! Steven then helped me put the ribbon on when he came home. Not bad since I did not have any directions!!

Church and Politics(This may be a long read)

WARNING: These are my thoughts and may be offending to some

Yesterday was church. Steven and I teach the 11 year olds in our ward. Well, yesterday was practice for the primary program that is next weekend.First, it is very unorganized. The seating is horrible. The classes are split up and some of the kids do not even have an adult in their area! The whole time Steven and I were trying to get the kids to be reverent. Not possible when other teachers are just looking away not even paying attention or their head down with their hands over their ears! Even the older kids were acting up. We have a few rowdy kids in our class, but compared to some of the other kids they were angels! The person in charge of this we could not even see cause she was on the other side. So one side of the kids did not even stand up when they were supposed to. I came home in tears because there was no spirit in the chapel what so ever! I felt like it should be outside and not in the chapel. Some of the kids were hitting eachother and bouncing in the seats. The teachers were even sitting next to some of these kids and did nothing! I really feel that parents now do not teach their own children how to behave! They let them do whatever they want! There is supposed to be another practice Friday evening. Steven is trying to not set any appointments so that he can go with me. I do not even want to go and I think that is so sad! After that some friends of ours starting asking questions to Eric about politics. People come to Eric because he knows so much! Which is not surprising because he wants to enter politics after college. Anyway, they were asking who Eric would vote for if he could vote,Eric is only 16 by the way. So Eric tells them and I think they were a little shocked. I told myself that I would not talk to people about this kind of stuff cause it just causes problems. But I have to say that I trust no one. I feel like I need to pick the lesser of 2 evils. I am trying to do research on all of them. Well, as Eric was talking to this couple about everything from the election to global warming these 2 older gentlemen came out and started laughing because people were getting advice from a 16 year old. You know what, some Eric's teachers ask his advice and some even tell him to run for President when he is older! This is something Eric is very passionate about and learns the facts before making any assumption on anything regarding this country! If they stopped to listen they would hear that Eric even told them to get a book that Eric loves and that both parties feel is true and accurate. That book is What You Should Know About Politics...But Don't by Jessamyn Conrad. People have asked Eric for an appt. before the election to find out about things and the first thing he tells them is to get that book. I was offended that some people were laughing at him because I feel that some adults do not listen to children. I think that kids have a lot of important things to say and if people listened more to kids then the world would be a better place to live!

Fun With Lani!

Thursday was a really fun day! I went to Lani's house after I took the kids to school! We hung out for a while at her house. I got to play with Noah, the cutest little baby boy! Then we went to the Scrapbook Barn and looked around for ideas! We then met mom at the Q-T for something to drink. Then Lani took us to Hobby Lobby! Mom and I had never been there before. It was awesome! It's like a Joanne's Etc. and a home decor store all in one! They even had Christmas stuff out! I only saw half the store, but what I saw of it I loved! We had to get back to her house cause I had to to pick up my car to pick up the boys from school. I really have a lot of fun when I am with Lani! She is such a good listener and always makes me laugh! The rest of the day was helping Kalob with homework and reading the first Harry Potter. Kalob is really starting to get into the bigger chapter books. Then we had dinner as a family. I love when Steven is able to come home in time for dinner. He works so many hours sometimes that it is usually the kids and I at dinner. So Thursday was a very good day!!

Well, yesterday was a great day! Steven went in a little late to work. He took the kids to school for me and brought home breakfast! He is the best husband in the world! It was so nice to have breakfast just him and I. Then later that evening he met me at Eric's school cause we had to pick out announcements for Eric's graduation. We just went and saw everything that we needed to get for him. Oh and we need to order is cap and gown as well. This is such an exciting year! Then Steven and I went to Target and walked around just having a fun! I have so much fun shopping with Steven. When we go grocery shopping we usually have to get 2 carts and we race in the store! I know it is silly but, oh so much fun! We may be in our 30's but it is still fun to act like a kid!! LOL!! Then when we got home we had dinner together just us! I had already fed the kids before we went to Eric's school. Then after Kalob went to bed we watched the last episode of Supernatural. It was such a wonderful day!

Supernatural

supernatural
Ok, I do not know if anyone watches Supernatural, I do! I love it! I do not know why but I have always loved vampire and demon legends! So this show is awesome if you love that stuff! Steven and I watch this after the kids go to bed. It is our little thing that we do together! We started watching it a while ago. It is on after Smallville but we would not watch it cause we did not want to scare Kalob. So we got the seasons and we love them and it is so much better without commercials! Plus the the guys are totally hot so that helps too! LOL!! I get scared sometimes watching it! LOL!! So if you have young kids I would not watch it if they are in the room!
