Why don't I live here?

from 79 to 109 degrees just like that, just not right! I could be a commuter right? well when I find out we won the powerball you can put my smiling face right here!!!!!

New Post

I have been told I am slacking on my blog as of late. duh, I knew that! lol ;o) It has been sooo crazy. So to appease friends and family here it is in a nutshell. Started a playgroup with some ladies in the ward, Katelyn had her last week of kindergarten and all the fun that goes with that. We started soccer with Katelyn and Brody though he was too young so we took him out. We went camping with two other families from church and it was so fun. The boys were about the same age and so were all the girls and the miracle was they actually got along! The only missing ingredient to make it perfect was a campfire (no burn after memorial day). We'll go earlier next time! Then I went to hang out with my bff Sam at her Mom's place up in Oregon. I love it, loved them. It was beautiful weather, everything was green(why do I live in AZ again?).It was too cold to go jetskiing, imagine that? There was a hair facial involved- HEAVENLY! Then home just in time to have Father's Day breakfast with the family and off to work again...

Recital

So once again, bad blogger strikes. Katelyn's recital was a few weeks back although in my defense when I first downloaded the video it wasn't working right. So you can't post when it's not working, right? Well now it's fine, though I don't think I did anything to fix it. Hope you enjoy!
P.S. Katelyn is in the back on the right =)

My Mother's Day celebration

It's a darn good thing we did this trip early in the week, once again Dave has abandoned me on Mother's Day. He had an opportunity to go work on a fire in southern AZ so I sacrificed my breakfast in bed for a 2nd year in a row, what are the odds? Oh well I got to have a nice vacay with the family in San Diego and that's the important part. We took Katelyn out of school and decided to drive over to Cali for a mid week visit to Sea World before all the kids are out on summer break. It was great, not very busy and the weather was perfect. The kids really enjoyed themselves, Brody had no fear of the ocean. Katelyn picked up every seashell, piece of seashell she could find and a heck of a lot of sand. My car is in need of serious detailing :(
We had dinner with Shamu which was fabulous!! You could literally reach over and touch a whale you are so close. Of course they discourage this , but great photo ops for sure. Brody slept through most of the action but woke up just in time to not miss out on the buffet lunch. Highly recommend it !

tiny dancers

It's that time of year at the dance studio. Lots of excitement as the girls prepare for the annual recital, getting to try on their costumes and of course pictures of our cuties all dolled up.


This year they are attempting to perform 3 numbers, a tap, ballet and a jazz routine. I don't know the other two songs but the booty short outfit is to a Hannah Montana song. I'm sure they will do great whatever the song and I'm sure that I will have tears of laughter running down my face as they are so dang cute when they get up on stage. If they stop waving to the crowd and dance, that is!


Yes Mom, I'll make you a copy!

Brody Man!

My friend Megan is always laughing at Brody when he eats. She thinks he sounds manly. He is very noisy! Bordering on obnoxious! Especially if you are next to him and trying to have a conversation with someone, it's distracting to say the least. She tells me all the time I need to record it since one day he won't do it anymore, which is very true! So this is a post for Megan since he is eating one of her Vampire bloody cupcakes leftover from our Twilight viewing last night. Thanks girl, love ya!

Thou Shall Not Covet...

Thy neighbors food storage rack! Oh for sometime now I have been envious of my girl's food storage rack. I ran home and told Dave all about it, I drug him into her "secret room" to see how cool it was. Finally today I begged and pleaded for him to help me clean out one of our spare bedroom closets so we could buy some shelves to organize our year supply. Ya know just the metal wire racks, nothing fancy! I was happy just to have anything that wasn't under the kids beds,stuffed in hall closets... I think my exact words were " I promise we can be out in 20 minutes or less, let's go!" lol!!!! We find the racks I was looking for, but then we find oh so much more. : ) At Wally world no less! I am in love! It can not get put together fast enough, but wait. The only problem is I will actually see how much more food we still need. At least we'll have a great rotating rack to put it all on. Hurry up, babe!
