Mani, Pedi Day


We've knocked our satellite dish channels down to only local channels, which means nothin' on the tube EVER! It's actually been great. We've been playing more games as a family, reading, hanging out, etc, this meant I had to go buy some games. We've had several games at our house for about the past 10 years and have never even opened them. So I bought UNO, Phase 10, and a deck of face cards (OOOH I know evil). We also found this really great game called Spite and Malice, I know it sounds pretty evil too. Anyway between games of UNO, and Naked Hawaiian, which I generally loose even if I'm playing against the kids, we decided to have a bit of a spa day and do our nails. The girls wanted flowers and eye balls on theirs I just did polka dots on mine. It was a fun day and C was very jealous.


PS... To play Naked Hawaiian you do not need to get naked at all, it's not even in the rules. It's a cute game that is very basic and can be learned by any child that can recognise #'s. It was taught to me by my YW.

I know Michael and I have talked about loosing cable too. It's sad because we have never had it before and now are completely hooked!!!

Now I know what we can do next month... you can do my nails!!! Doesn't that sound like fun?!?!?

Cute!

And I wish I COULD get local channels on satellite. Where we live, cable isn't an option, and DirecTV swears it's "not possible" to get us any local/network channels, even for an extra fee. So... we've got like 20 channels of Nickelodeon, and no NBC, and never get to see the shows everyone talks about, the local news, etc. BOO!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
