what more can you do than watch tv

I can not figure out how to entertain my kids during the day. I feel like it takes half the day to get up, eat breakfast, shower, ..... Before you know it its time for lunch. So besides watching tv, what more is there to do? My boys find toys to entertain themselves, but what do the real mothers do for their children during the day? You know the ones that have their children playing a musical instrument by 5 years of age, and can read the Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner by age 12. Besides cook and clean what do moms do all day? I can't even come up with ideas for dinner, family night, or cheap activities. My brain is officially fried. Help!!!!!!

A little bit crazy

Has this ever happened to you? I did not realize this until 7:00 at night. Nobody said anything, so maybe I'll have to do it again.

This is an effect of 1:00 church; 4:00 pm naps.

Our family has appeared to become really confused.

Back to School

Really after 9 years of being out of school I decide to go back. Oh yeah everything is coming back to me; late nights doing homework, math problems that mean nothing to me, primping and dressing up like you are the queen of the day. The later did not happen today, or will ever. I went to school after cooking chicken noodle soup, do you know what you smell like after cooking? not good !!!!what is the function of a linear equation? does this really make any sense? However I am so glad to be back being married, the stress of who is cute and does he think I'm cute is now behind me. I am excited to be in a learning environment, and it is a little bit of a break from daily chores. Its wierd to wake up, go to school, and suddenly doing 100 math problems are a priority. Yes even a priority over making sure that my dishes are done before I go to bed. Oh how things are changing. I may need some prozac to get me through. I can tell that I am the old one in class because the majority of the students are really concerned about their cell phones, it seems to be a necessity when waiting to get into class. like if they did not have a cell phone to text on they would not know what to do in the black abyss of the time you arrive until the time that the teacher arrives and opens the door of the class room. I am so glad to be turning 30 this year, I have run out of patients for immaturity.

Oh Yeah!

Ethan does the funniest, what we call crazy eyes! the camera is not fast enough to show.

Carter lost his first tooth yesterday. thanks to Braeden passing him the football. Out came the tooth, great way to remove a tooth!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Is anyone else sad to see the holiday season come to a jolting hault?

having the spirit of the holidays every day with so much hustle and bustle, lots enjoyment, and then all of a sudden it's like you jump into a new time zone watching reruns of ER. Just a little Depressing.

So thinking of my goals this year, I really want to laugh more. I can be a real uptight, OCD, ronchy person sometimes, so this year I want to LAUGH!

So the only way I know how to do this is watch a good comedy. Anyone have any suggestions let me know.

Christmas Fun

Sledding, Oh yeah, we had a blast and cant wait for more snow and sun shine.

Making cookies, these turned out so fun and cute!

Festival of trees.

Christmas Day!

Manger scene.

Its sad to see christmas go, I'm having the after holiday blaaaah's.

Carter the Photographer

This is like most of the pictures he took, can you quess what this is? These are grandmas favorite pj pants, picture taken under cover!

Good One, this one was also not posed for

We enjoyed Thanksgiving, I want leftover turkey to go with my yummy cranberry sauce.

Thank you Carter for getting us on camera, I'll post other of his fine work later.

So I want to write about the experience I had on Black Friday, but it would take to long and would not be nearly as funny as in person . All I can say is I have devised a plan for next year. I only got 2 items on my list, out of 5 . next year I'm going for all. Anyone care to join me?

Update on my talk: went well, jake and I took up the whole time. did you know the whole month the topic was temples. so we had the same lesson in priesthood and relief society. had I known prior I wouldn't have used the Joseph Smith manual for the majority of my talk.
