Thing 4



I was a HUGE slacker this weekend and now I'm playing catch up!

Thing 4 is Orange Slices:

I know gross right?  What are orange slices anyway?  They aren't actual fruit, they aren't hard candy, they aren't Jello, they aren't gummy...good questions!

All I know is I don't really care.  I love them.  They remind me of my Grandpa, he loved them and used to have them when he babysat me and that's when I started liking them.  Other flavors are also made but none hold a candle to orange.  They are best sucked on until all the sugar is gone then eat the middle.  C says they remind him of orange boogers, nice.



Winner of the giveaway will receive a bag of, you guessed it, Orange Slices!

I love your favorite things list but this is the ONLY thing on your list so far that wouldn't make it on mine. I can tolerate them.....just not my fav. I do love candy corn at Halloween time. Mmmmm now that is a fav!

My grandpa was an orange slice man too. Like you, I developed an affinity for them when I would go over to his house.

Grandma, on the other hand, had NO love for orange slices. She was a huge chocolate fan. I was in high school when she died. Mom and dad were worried about grandpa and sent me to stay with him. He wasn't in the best place, mentally, and he didn't talk much. Instead, he gave me orange slices and asked me to help clean out his fridge (grandma always did all the cleaning, he didn't know how to tackle the fridge). Inside the refridgerator and freezer we found Cadburry easter eggs... a lot of eggs. In the fridge there were 40 creme eggs... and there were far more stashed in the freezer! Yep, grandma LOVED chocolate!

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...

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...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
