BFF!!!!

Just another picture that makes me happy.

This was the first day of school August 2009, when they were both a little nervous about the day. Where do they turn for support? I love their choice. When I can't be there to calm the nerves, it is nice to know that they are looking out for each other.

A little pick me up...

How I wish I had a small portion of the spunk she carries. This was taken over a year ago, but I can't help but smile when I see the picture.

Save the Date...

I can't figure out how to paste the link, but I can GUARANTEE this is where my husband will be June 18th. We just hope #5 does not chose that day to come into our home. Dad would sure hate to miss something like his child's birth, but choices must be made. Just a bit of trivia...Do you realize that Toy Story 2 came out over 13 years ago. Luckily it was released to VHS (you remember those terrible things, right?) the day before my husband went into the MTC, October 30, 1996. That was a close one, to think my husband almost had to postpone his mission. Luckily, he had a good mother that ran out and bought it for him before he left.

I need help...

I am trying to compile a list of people I follow, or want to follow--but can't because I am locked out. If you don't see your blog listed on my blogs that I follow list. Please email me your address, and an invite if necessary. I have been really bad at keeping up on my blog stalking. (SP?) I am hopping this will make it easier.

That is $1248 year!!!!

I was just thinking that...

one hair cut...

every two weeks...

for each of my boys...

yes, all four of them...

is going to cost me...

4*26*12=$1248

(and thats at the cheap $12 place)

I think I might take up beauty school at nights, or at least learn how to do a decent boys cut.

I am thinking this may be more valuable than my Economics degree at BYU.

Experimenting again...

One of my favorite things to do is to cook. It is away for me to relieve stress and to find a little bit of peace even when my house if full of things I want to ignore (yes, sometimes that includes my kids). My mom has always been a great cook and trying new recipes. I love it. She has made some things that will be part of my family memories forever.

Part of cooking should include a few healthy choices. (Again, my mom engrained in me the fact that there will always be at least one vegetable (but more likely two) with dinner. To top that off, they have to be different colors--oh, and potatoes don't count.

The last nine months I have been involved in the greatest vegetable co op (Bountiful Baskets--thanks to Sara). We get a ton of produce at a great price. It is fresh, beautiful and ready on hand. But, it does provide things that are not in my usual meal routines. This has turned out to be a great thing. I add a yellow squash to taco soup, or a little zucchini to my spaghetti. I even cooked brusel sprouts for my husband and kids. (YUCK!!! But, they loved them. Again---YUCK!!!)

So... tonight I am making chicken enchiladas, but with my own tomatillo enchilada sauce. It is green and smells great, but we will see if it is any good. Good thing my husband (and kids believe it or not) will try almost anything.
