Here's what I did today

Watched history being made. I sure hope he does a good job. Because I am nervous. But I love our country. And I am grateful that I live here. In the good old U. S. of A.

I been thinking.....

I been thinking about updating this thing. But I think that I like to add pictures. But since my computer has been sick...It seems that when I download pictures it will on due a few. Uhgggg!
So I end up downloaded my pictures to the main computer. Which means that I have to use the other computer to find the pictures that I wanted to use to update this thing. wish me luck.

Love, love, kiss kiss

It's about time I update this thing.

The title says it all. First of all my computer has been sick and I miss her ALOT. My flash drive has not been working so I can't download my pictures off of my camera. You have to hold her just right and press really hard in a certain spot. Therefore you do everything one handed. Which after a while your hand hurts. And I like to add a picture if I can. Now I just hope I can remember how to do it. It's been so long.

First of all How was every one's Christmas? Our's was great. Everyone was here! Oh yeah, talk about fun. For our Christmas eve dinner Tasha suggested Sweet Pork and the works. It was so yummy. I think we have started a new tradition. We had our traditional Christmas eve with FHE. Then of course new PJ's.

Then just a nice evening , all the kids sleep together in the basement. Santa delivers their stockings to them. It keeps them down stairs and buys us a little bit of time to sleep in and then we all gather together and show each other what everyone got and that is when dad and I open our stockings. It really is an enjoyable time. Then we go upstairs and have our gifts. We open them up one by one. You can do this when your kids are older.. It makes the morning last longer. Then we go to the kitchen where Kevin makes Swedish pancakes. Then everyone is off to do what ever. Sleep, call the grandparents, sleep, go see family and friends.




The next day was Emma's b-day. Some how I got wrapped into trying to make a "Cupcake" cake. They do make a mold but it is 30.00 at Target. Just didn't want to do that right now. So Tasha and I were trying to come up with ideas. Well I had an idea and passed it my Tasha and the next thing I know I am doing it. My intention was to make Tasha do it. Long story short it didn't work. Need more time to come up with a better idea. but Tasha did have cupcakes made. I went over and helped frost them. Did a fancy swirl job with sprinkles. Emma was so cute and guess what no pictures. Oh well, happy birthday to you sweet girl who is now two and is talking so much.


Then we headed up to the cabin. So love being at the cabin. We went snowmobiling, played Pac Man. I didn't do very well. But some in the group did. Got some scrapping done. Oh I made my cushions for my couch. It has been about a 6 year project. I will have to post a picture. Later after I take one. It looks great. We went to Big Springs several times. One of our favorite things to do.

We even got to see the moose's. It was great. Then for new years eve the cousins came over and played games and ate alot of food. Then it was time to get the bubbly out and do the count down and jeers. Here's our group.

Well that's about it in a nut shell for our Christmas and new years eve. It was fun and I hope that everyone has a very Happy new year.

I am being kicked off the computer. So I will have to write more later and add more pictures.

Doing a little bit of catch up

Well lets start off with Halloween. Kevin and Emma dress up the same... Can you guess what they were? Of course we had a Trunk or Treat/ rained alittle bit which meant go inside and sit in a big circle, and get candy. Kevin was so cute with Emma. Every time some one would give them candy he would have Emma bow. They were so funny. There were some really good costumes.



Then came my Birthday. It was great, Kevin and I headed up to SLC to watch Good Things Utah. I always have my picture taken when I am with them. I think that they are really funny. And I love the show.

After that we headed home and went shopping for my Bday gift. I got a Bosch dishwasher. I love it. It actually cleans my dishes and is really quiet. Thanks honey.

Time has now passed and it is time to get that yard taken care of. So we went out and started to rake and make big piles of leaves for the kids to jump in. It was so fun to watch Emma "experience jumping in the leaves for the first time". She was having so much fun with the girls.

Her face says it all.

As for the present. I am home and it feels good. Now I just have to get into the swing of things here. I get to get ready for scouts. I am the new Bear Den leader for our ward. We meet with the 9th ward. Some really cute boys. I just hope that I will be a good leader.

Now for you Debbie F. I hope you have noticed that I have done some new things with my blog. Music and some things on the side. ( I had help from my friend Holly) Thanks Holly. But guess what I still need some help. Maybe I should come down for the day and have you help me. Does this not sound like a cry for help? It is. I know I have no shame. Plus, I have some pics for you. Leave me a comment so I know that you where here. I LOVE reading the comments. Wait, I hardly get any so that doesn't take long. Well I really need to get off of this computer, and go do my scouting duty.

Love,Love, Kiss, Kiss,

I am suppose to be writing something

I know that I am suppose to write on this thing but, lately I don't really have anything to say. Life is going on. Wait I changed my mind. I do have something to say. I will tell you what I am doing right now. I am in Idaho, at our cabin. Alone. I know that might seem boring to some of you but I love it. I have been able to work on some things that I can not seem to get myself to do at home. I have finished 5 aprons, cut and organized 5 purses that I want to make for gifts. I also want to get 5 scrapbook pages done. Don't know if that will happen. I have the stuff, just need to get my mojo back. It is lost and I have no idea where it went. I'll keep looking, it could be under a rock. Not sure. One thing I do know for sure is that I miss my family , Sounds kind of weird, Guess it is, but I miss them but I also needed some alone time. Enough about me. Just a side note, I would post pictures but my computer won't download pictures right now. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed. Well by for now,

love, love,kiss kiss

Ok, just a quick note. It is late and I am tired. When I get some time this weekend (probable on Sunday) I will download my pictures off my camera, and I will write something. Not sure if it will be meaningful, but maybe a little informative? This is for you Debbie F. And to the rest of my peeps, Dinner was wonderful! Good night for now.

Love, love, Kiss,kiss,
