Who woke up and thought this was a good idea?


Is it just me, or are their Mormon's representing on every reality tv show out there? I am not the brightest person, but maybe....Just maybe if you are not representing things we really believe in, and don't live the standards...Maybe you shouldn't go around claiming you are a Mormon. I'm just saying...........I know what you might be thinking...Who watches that shmut? Well the answer is: I did. I don't tell the world because I am not proud. I have actually lost a little faith in humanity. So what am I going to do?....I am going to become Amish. Or at least to the point where I watch no shmut, which in turn means I won't be watching any tv. Who wants to join me on my crusade? Any one?

Easter's Come and Easter's Go....








I honestly can tell you that I am old. I remember my parents telling me that when you get older time goes by soooo fast. I feel that way; therefore, I must be old. I cannot even believe how fast my kids grow....Just to prove it here are more pics from last year and this year. Every year we try and give the girls something related to church. This year we did (I meant the Easter Bunny) did church bags, to keep them entertained, and hopefully reverent during sacrament. So far it might work, kind of, sort of..... But at least they are cute. And if they don't work very long they got a cute purse. Did I mention they are reversible?

Anna this is for you......

Young Chefs Academy







Olivia's 6th birthday....Wow I have a six year old. I would like to say that I can remember when I was 6, but I am afraid I have blocked it out. Just kidding, I just have no memories any more. I must be getting old. Anyhoo we did a double party with our neighbor that lives behind us, and it was a riot... We went to the Young Chef's that another neighbor owns, and we were their very first party. The kids made their own pizza, and learned a little about cooking.
A few of my favorite moments were:
1. When they are talking about the dough they said it raises and grows just like you do, and my nephew raises his hand and says "I don't grow" (he is a little short for his age)
2. The lady who had a french accent who taught the class made me feel like I really was learning how to make dough for the first time, in France.
3. Watching 25 kids actually sit still, and listen for more than 2 minutes.
4. And last but not least the moment when we took all the kids home, and didn't have to clean up anything.
A big thanks to Young Chef's and Tauna and Wendi for all your work. It was amazing.

Learning about Bodies






So I took the kids to the Sesame Street exhibit at the Children's Museum. It was very educational, and I now know that I produce 1 cup of snot a day, and that when I eat, it goes in my mouth, to my stomach, and shockingly found out it comes out in the form of poop. I am pretty sure based on where the kids were most of the time the poop was their favorite part. And they learned a little song to go with it, and I am thrilled.

It is time for a new post.....






I think I actually lost friends from the last two posts I put up so I thought I should redeem myself with some photos from the Prom. We have a Sweethearts dance here where we live. Only the hottest most popular people in the neighborhood get invited which is why we got to go. Apparently, no one else knew they were suppose to dress 80's style, and I am sure they must have felt really dumb and out of place. And as you can see from the picture of Jason at the very bottom, I am pretty sure it was the best night of his life so far.
