Concerned

Should I be concerned that, out of the dark of my children's bedroom at night, both of them start recreating the melody of an Ozzie Osbourne song?

So True

Sarah's been electrocuted

This can't be my daughter can it?

Birthdays

While perusing the birthday list on the blog, I noticed that we have NO birthday's in December. Is that weird, or is it just me that with 29 people in our family December is completely empty? Not that I mind!!

Gingerbread Houses

Thanks Mom, for starting the gingerbread house tradition!

125 house, 30 left over, just under 100 people at the institute bldg tonight decorating and having fun. Sent some houses out w/ the missionaries to drop off at investigators homes and will drop the rest off to neighbors tomorrow. *PHEW* one family traidition down- 129 left to go! As much as I appreciate all that you did to create traditions and memories, it sure is a lot to keep up with (along w/ adding a few of our own!).

Children

"Children begin by loving their parents. As they grow older they judge them, sometimes they forgive them."
Oscar Wilde

Hope you all can feel my love and forgive the sometimes angry mother that I was. Mom

Anyone want to go w/ me??

Straight no Chaser is going to be in Missoula in March. I really want to go.
Also, Lord of the Dance is also in Missoula. And I am going. Regardless.
Any takers?

Seriously?

Gingrich and Trump team up

Sarah's Baptism

Thanks to Mom and Dad for coming to support Sarah.  We had a great day filled with the Spirit, family, and great food. 

Blair doesn't know it yet but...

He just bought me Settlers of Catan and black Sunday boots for Christmas.
I will be so excited when I open my presents Christmas morning. Alas, when he bought be the game, he didn't realize that he would have to play it with me. Too bad for him, he should have thought of that before he bought it. I wonder what else he will be buying me? I am thinking he might buy me a really cool MP3 player, or an HP touchpad, or maybe even an E-Reader.

hehehehe

Does it Make me a Bad Mom if...

Brant really wants to keep the wings, legs and head of the swan Blair shot. I put my foot down (HARD) and told him there was no way he was going to keep them on his "special" shelf in his room. He cried and begged to keep them, so as it was cold he put them under the bench on the porch (i hid them in a pizza box). Today, while cleaning up, the box may accidently get thrown in the garbage.

Our Blog

Because we went private, our blog no longer refreshes to the top of the list on the sidebar when we post. We were feeling a little lonely over there and we were hoping that was the reason . . .

Happy Birthday, Hayley!

Have a truly magnificent day! We love you!

Santa was on my roof yesterday putting up Christmas lights. Thanks Elder Butler for making the kids in my neighborhood happy!

Happy Birthday Annabelle Olivia Bean!!

Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Sarah

Happy birthday! Yesterday.

Oatmeal

There are two things I hate about oatmeal: It tastes gross, and there is always a lot of it.

"Eat them Up"

I was absorbed in the super cute commercial of all these cute babies and toddlers snuggling their moms. The narrator over the top says:
"I remember when my kids were little, I just wanted to eat them up!"
Flash to SUPER cute little boy swishing his hands in the toilet.
Narrator voice over says:
"Some days I wish I had."
Que me bursting out laughing!

Super digging this song

Bread Dough Nativity

If anyone is interested, here is a link to directions to make the bread dough nativity that mom made so many years ago.  Bread Dough Nativity

Tumblewood

There's a tumbleweed in my yard.

Happy Birthday, Avery!

We hope your weekend is full of lots of candy and spookiness! We love you!

Happy birthday, Isaac!

We love you and hope you have a great day!

Sarah's turning 8

I just wanted to let you know that Sarah is getting baptized the first weekend in December.  You are all invited to come and we would love to have you there.  No pressure though.

Republican debate

Did anyone watch this? Because I just heard Herman Cain say that his plan hinges on companies lowering their prices because they are not paying as much in taxes.

What company on earth would think, "Hey, I don't need this money, let's lower prices."

Also, his plan encourages others to buy used goods. Doesn't this discourage consumer spending and wouldn't it kill jobs? Obeying live to hear your thoughts (or debate with you) on this subject.

Which brother (or in-law) is most likely....

to have made this?

Prepare for the Zombie apocalypse

I find this hilarious.
