Saying things Outloud!

Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.





Only by seeking challenges can we hope to find the best in ourselves.







You [mothers] are the real builders of the nation wherever you live, for you have created homes of strength and peace and security. These become the very sinew of any nation.” Gordon B. Hinckley, “Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov 1996, 67

Parents are never as bad as kids think they are.

Matt Witten, House M.D., Cursed, 2004

Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out.
-- Matthew Broderick


Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.
-- Ray Romano

A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

Eleanor Roosevelt

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt

WALKING INTO THE OFFICE,....





MAE HAS HER OWN WAY OF COPYING MOMMY AND DADDY,

AND WINNING ME OVER!

What I saw vs. What was really there.....

I dont really celebrate Valentines day unless my sister comes over with chocolate and a movie which we do weekly so it doesn't really count. I prefer to use my energy on holidays like Father's/Mother's day and anniversaries. But Tim never fails to do something special for me.

This year when I came into the house it looked like he had just thrown a rose and some chocolate on the rest of the mess on the counter top. I thought, "Gee, the least he could do is clean off the table!"

My female eyes are so trained to see his stuff as nothing but, "Junk on the table", I failed to realize that the real gift was under the chocolate and cost over 100.00. He had gotten the car parts and manual to fix my car that has been acting funny.

Tim actually fixing the car is a big deal because he doesn't have much time to do things like that with work and school.

He re-showed me the gift and I of course gave him a hug n' kiss, etc.

Now here's where I could be all female-ish about it and say that he found another excuse to go get another manual and tool,........

But I'll be good and say; I love my Hubby this Valentines Day!

CAMERA SHY...

IS NOT A WAY TO DESCRIBE MY 16 YEAR OLD BROTHER.


I MADE THE MISTAKE OVER THE PAST WEEK OF LEAVING MY CAMERA ON THE COMPUTER DESK.





SOMETHING YOU MUST UNDERSTAND IS THAT MY BROTHER COMES OVER EVERY DAY TO USE MY INTERNET, WHICH WITH I AM TOTALLY OKAY.

BUT TODAY WHEN I TURNED MY CAMERA ON I FOUND OVER TWENTY PICTURES OF THE TEEN IDOL SHOWING OFF FOR THE CAMERA!

I HAVE TO LAUGH AND SHARE WITH YOU JUST A FEW;

IF ANYONE IS WONDERING WHAT IT IS THAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING,....ITS HIS HOMEWORK!!! <3 <3 <3

SO True,.....

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying Go To Hell!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Today

Today when we pulled up to the church building Liza yelled out, "Jesus, Were HOME!"
I guess she thought he should know.


Then this afternoon when I spilled a little milk she put her hands to her cheeks and said, "Oh my GOSH!!" (Trust me it sounded really cute.)

I think she has hit the two year old stage of saying cute surprising things,
I'll never forget the time when Mae was this age and got a pop tent in the mail from her Grandma, when it popped up she screamed, "HOLY COW"!

Or the time when she pooted and looked at me and very proudly announced, " I Daddy!"

I hope I never forget all the funny things they say!

I now want to play with a sling shot!

AND YES THIS GUY DOES LIVE NEAR ME! LOL!

Wal-Mart Scam

I love God's sense of humor

A one in a million smile!

The new house (to be continued....)

Well were all finished moving in, "down the road apiece". We found a good deal on a house that is bigger and cheaper, so if anyone was wondering what had happened for a few weeks to me there it is. We dont live far from where we were before, I just love this house SO much more! Hey I'm starting to rhyme!
I did not take very many pictures during the move because of all the craziness, but the few I got were these;
My little Tinkerbell didn't take her out fit off for a week unless forced to for necessary washing.









Uncle Joseph and Big Sister decided that Tinkerbell need a little house of her own.
So one day while exploring the backyard they created this quality home, complete with flower garden and mailbox.











So here's the new place, I'd say its terrific! I think all its lacking is a pool,....
