Just In..."Sneaky little boys rob the cupboard"....

So, as I was posting the last post, my two little angels (Zach and Westin) were running out of the kitchen (I never saw them go in, they were in their room playing.) Anyway, I went to check on them because they were running out with a bowl in hand. They are both little climbers and quiet. So, when I went into the room Westin(2) was telling Zach(3) to hide as they were climbing to the top bunk with the bowl. Well, the bowl had marshmellows in it already, so that was what I thought that they had grabbed, but they added another treat... cough drops from the upper cupboard. Yummmmmmmmm!? Westin was eating a cough drop already when I took the bowl and I had to laugh because he actually liked it. It's an original flavor of menthol and no sugar. Well, I will have to hide them in my room now. He was very angry that I took them away. LOL

Wow! Can we be more creative?

I found this web site and I love it! I was actually looking to make my own laundry soap because I do so much laundry everday! I found this website http://www.instructables.com and it has some great tips for a whole lot of things. I wanted to share it with everyone.... have fun!!

Enjoy your Reflection...

O'kay.... I was asked this question at a church activity last night,

"What is your favorite room in the house?"

.. I said "Kitchen" LOL, I love to eat ~ dang it! Most of the ladies said their Bedroom, to escape into a comfort zone. Sure, I like to escape, I'd rather say "my time to play" and that would be out with friends on "girls night out". Another question was

"Who would you like to hang out with if you could hang out with anyone in the world?"

I heard a lot of answers like, Jesus, the President, various movie stars, BUT I said "My husband". I know if you asked Jason if that were true he would back me up on that. I tell him every day that I want to hang out with him. I'll share one more...I actually love this one because I think this is what helps me through the day...

"When is the last time you laughed at yourself?"

I said " Every day!" even when it's tough, I end up laughing about myself and how I may have reacted about things that day. It's a great way to learn about yourself when you reflect on your daily doings.

I am so glad that I have great people in my life that help me see potential and I can learn from others examples. I am who I am because of you... You are all wonderful! When these questions are asked, to know a person better, you realize that we all have common grounds with different outcomes and by that we learn from each other. It made me reflect on the different answers that were given.

Enjoy your reflection.

Zachary enjoyed climbing this tree all day.

----------------------------------------------

Natalie's side:

Our family went to Piestewa Peak Park for

Thanksgiving Dinner and they did a night hike

with flashlights and head lamps,

this picture is at the top of the mountain.

They really loved it!! The city lights were

a great view.

We had hot cocoa and smores....Mmmmmm!!

What a way to end the evening..... The next day

was my sister's BIG DAY!!

Veteran's Day!

Veteran's Day Parade Down Town Mesa:

( Corey, Amber, & Keith- wanted to pose w/ this statue.)

We had fun at the parade and saw some great Marching bands, Mini Coopers, Harley's, ROTC, dancer's, and Firing Squads- My kids liked that the best. (and the candy). We stayed there for a little while and then we went to the bookstore and a movie. It was a great day!!

Keiths Goal...

Okay, I'm posting a lot, but that is just how it is today... :)

I mentioned me talking to my kids earlier this week about making a difference in the world.....well, Here we go.... Keith's web blog is set up and we are on a roll. So, take a look and tell me what you think? There is more information on his site and we hope that you add it to your list.....and pass it on...! I know that we have a great network of friends and family between all of us, so this is going to be great! I am so excited for him and so is he.
Just today he came home and was talking about someone that is famous in his school class because he is in the paper and on TV. I told him that was neat, he asked when he could do that? I told him that one day he would be famous for just making a difference. He didn't know what to say to that but, I think he understands.

"Guilty as Charged!!!"....Anyone feel this way?

Oh, let me tell you my weakness....FOOD! So, We joined a gym, because our friends did and we could motivate each other. (ha ha ha!) Anyway, we really want to do better since Jason had an emergency visit to the ER, basically he needs to get healthy. And so do I! So, we joined the gym and we are excited about it, I made breakfast, packed a light snack and a lunch for Jason this morning. I went about my day and helped at my mom's house and headed home around 1 O'clock. I called Jason as I was eating shhhhh.....Taco Bell, and he asked me if I could bring him something "chocolate". LOL So, of course I said "yes" and then he said "don't worry about it, I can hear the kids whining." (nap time) I said that's "Okay." He said "why, because you want some too?" I said "of course!"

We just laughed at our first "healthy" day.

But, really, we are doing better.

I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood and I have a park at the end of my street. I love taking the two little ones out on walks there so they can play. I usually just go once in a while, but I think I need to make it daily. The weather is really nice in the mornings now, thank goodness!

Found some Misc.. photos...enjoy!

Make a slide show, scrapbook or ecard
