We went to Frightmares over UEA weekend. It turned out to be so much fun...and cold to. It was so crowded there that night that all lines were long. Baileys mom Lacie waited in line at one of the haunted houses while us and the kids rode some of the rides. It was a 70 minute wait...I owe you one Lacie!! Thanks for the fun night!!

I've Been Tagged

I'm It!!

I've been tagged by Jaycee. How excited am I? I am supposed to post 7 weird things about myself...I am not weird at all so this is going to be hard (yea right).

1. I am not afraid of spiders. I mean I wouldn't pick them up with my bare hands or anything. How does this make we weird? Because everyone else in my family is petrified of them. Madi and McKennah check their beds every night before they climb in and Steve frequently goes spider hunting outside after dark with a flashlight and a can of Raid.

2. I have not read any of the Harry Potter Series or any of the Twilight Series. (I used to love to read, now I just have no time to read).

3. If it is broke I have to fix it. It makes me nuts to have something that is not working correctly. It doesn't matter if it is something in my car...or in the house...it has to work.

4. I love bargains!! I find it difficult to buy anything at regular price.

5. At 39 I have my 6th grandchild on the way. Who would have guessed? Not me for sure!!

6. I have no eyebrows. I had permanent makeup done on them about 2 years ago...and now they need to be touched up, which is painful...but it sure beats drawing them on everyday.

7. I had to have stitches on my bottom lip when I was 2 months old. Because of that I have a crooked smile and a long scar that goes down from my bottom lip.

8. (Did I say I can't count?) I cannot be on time to church on Sunday. In the almost 8 years that we have been going I think I have heard the opening prayer a handful of times.

Okay, now I am supposed to tag 7 people. Madi & Mckennah thought that it would be fun...so they are 2 of them. The others are of course Jen, Jodi, Angela, Debbie, and Kim. Now, your it!!

Where's The Snow?


Sunday Morning Snow!!

I woke up Sunday morning to a beautiful scene outside my door (it sure make up for the sore throat I also woke up with). I stepped outside and took a couple of pictures. Later that evening I proceeded to log on to load the amazing pictures onto my blog...but where are they? Someone messed with my camera, and now my pictures are no where to be found, so I thought I would load what appeared to take precidence over my beautiful pictures...McKennah doing cartwheels, and backbends, and Madi and Morgen making faces....enjoy!!!

My new four letter word


E - con - o - my!!

Okay...I am just going to say it. This economy has really gotten me stressed. My girls have even taken notice and are now talking about it. I worry if we have enough food storage...will Steve get laid-off from his job...will we end up losing everything we have worked so hard for for the last 17 years...I can't even imagine starting over.

Should we be saving every dollar or trying to spend to help stimulate the economy. How is this going to get turned around. What good can I do. I so wish that I had all the answers.

What I am hoping for is that I am worrying for nothing and that a year from now we will all be better off than we are now...or...Could it be that I am just watching too much Dr. Phil and Oprah? lol

Young Women Activity


Madi went with the young women to visit the gravesite of the prophet "Gordon B. Hinckley" and his wife Marjorie. She had her picture taken with a cell phone and sent it to me. I so wanted to go, but we had already made dinner plans. We may have to go another time as a family. I love and am so proud of my daughter Madi.

I also have to share with you this song that Madi has come home from school singing every day. She said that she sings it at school and some of the kids tease her...but she says "I don't care". Take a listen...
