What I got at park city garage sales...

Can you believe that someone just gave us this cute little Rastafarian baby....

The things that these park city people just get rid of......Their junk is my treasure!!!

We got tons of good stuff!!!! Didn't even go over our allowence....things were so cheap...people were willing to make good deals!!!

we got a Almost brand new craftsman edger- 10bucks

we got a old rocking chair-5 bucks

Power wheel dirt bike and charger- 10 bucks

(which was really cool cause I got a 4 wheeler from a neighbors sale a few weeks back, and it didn't have a charger...and I looked opn ebay and the cheapest I found was 25.00 Bucks)

Books, shoes, jewlery, bionicles-5 bucks

(monster things that Brodie is really into)

OH AND 2 AWESOME DVDS.....Neverending story...and Bill cosby as himself.......2 bucks

AWESOME DAY!!! Gotta love that Park City!!!!

I love my small town.....

My favorite time of summer happens to be Rigby stamped days. I makes me remember why I moved here! I love my small town..The best part of this year was that our sister Annie came up and we got to hang out with some fun family and show her why we like it so much!

Our good friends were right across from us....to which we enjoyed a good candy fight...and might I add that I pegged someone in the head like 3 times.....Yes because I am awesome..........JK But I am..

Might I introduce you to Bob.......he is the one with the bandanna.......

Every year they throw candy out for the kids.....we end up with a large community bag of candy.
They also pass out Frisbees, chocolate milk, water, otter pops and tons of flyer's.

Here is the old faithful tractor that smokes everyone out....

Usually we go to the park afterward but the rain was to threatening...and the fact that we lost Brodie last year..Not once...Not twice....but like 4 times. We all opted to go to green canyon and go swimming! WE had a great weekend, thank you Annie and kids for coming up and making things so fun!!!!!

Prayers and weeds

So I have been having a tiff with Heaven Father for a while now. Nothing to serious, a disagrement on what is funny and what is not. Prayer. I have been told of the power of prayer, and although I try on many days, my prayers seem to backfire. Now I want to believe in my small mind that he-HF has a sense of humor, that he understands... but for some reason likes to put a twist on my prayers. Like what you ask?

Well here are a few......

Prayer#1

I pray to have a garden that grows and flourishes, that it grows fast and that it feeds and supports my family and my neighbors.

After my crazy "old women" rampage, planning and reading up on everything possible. Starting my plants inside, sacrificing my bathtub for months, Cleaning up multiple dirt spills, tending, weeding, planning, plotting, planting, watering........ what does my garden look like????

The day after I planted all of my proud little seedlings in the ground, We had a wind/rain storm that whipped most of my plants to death. So the only thing flourishing in my garden is the weeds...... so technically HF did answer my prayer.... Funny....

#2 prayer.

To help me get healthy and to lose some weight.....

I did pray for this. I mean, I figured I need all the help I can get.....and my husband eating a large bowl of ice cream every night before bed was not the help or motivation I need. Oh don't get me wrong I am thankful for the help, and I have lost weight.....But now I am a member of the "I love my tiny Ta-Ta's Club" Funny.........

Prayer #3

Please HF give me a healthy, happy and "good" baby........cause I can't handle much more.

Ok next time I'll remember he decides what I can handle....and that he is a funny god. Cause this baby of mine....well he is a challenge. A challenge that even George W Bush wouldn't want to even try to tackle.

I do have some understanding.....that was just recently acquired. The truth is that being #5 he has to demand attention. Because truthfully if he didn't I might set him in the swing and forget about him. My life is pretty hectic and its SOMETIMES good that he demands that I sit down and snuggle him. Because these could be missed opportunities..... OOHHHH but not for him, He lets me know what he wants.

#4 prayer

Please help my husband find a great job that he loves and that can comfortably support our family.

This is the prayer that I struggle with on a daily basis. This is a prayer that I have been praying for over 2 years. I have to figure that this is a hefty request, and there is quite a waiting list of families much more worthy of this than us. But I am committed to standing in line and waiting for our chance. It is just that my legs are tired of standing and my "it'll be ok attitude" is fading. I am not sure what more I can do, besides keep praying.

Not funny.....

Getting big....

My now 3 month old is big and now looks like a 6 month old......Excuse the drool....its the cheeks

We had him weighed today and he was 16# 2 oz......

His favorite meal..... other babies...so watch out yo.....

Hangin' out with the whole fam damly...

We drove down to Utah last weekend....and we had a great time!!

We got to go see a wonderful performance by because we sing, a mens choir that Mikes Brother Craig is in. It was great! Grace got to go on a special date with us that night and be a big girl and stay up way past her bedtime!

Then that next Sunday we went and played games and ate yummy food to celebrate Grandpa Wolfleys Birthday...

Its great to see the family, I wish we could do it more!!!

Here is grandpa with all but 5 of his grand kids!!!

Happy Birthday ole' man!!!

Science fair projects and boys.....

Its all happening to fast. Who woulda thought that in the first Grade that I would be dealing with a science fair project?
Or Boys for that matter???? Grace was very excited about the science fair. She- well- I more.... deiced that she could measure the amount of liquid different brands of diapers can hold. She did all of it her self and did a great job. BUT I now know why she was so excited.....NO not for the love of science.....Nothing but a boy.... well at least she learned a little from this whole experiment!

She even got a blue ribbon!!!! Congrats Gracie on your SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT!!! THE BOY WE WILL DISCUSS LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Mom

Oh a science fair results....

20008-2009 Preschool graduation

My little big girl is growing up so quick!!!!
Here is her official Preschool graduation picture, She did it....next thing I know it will be High school graduation pictures!

Now mind you I have seen this Graduation going on....4 times now....and things don't change much! But Hannah showed us that she knows her colors, sight words, shapes, and almost telling time! She is writing her name and doing very good and memorizing her Telephone # and address! We are very proud of her! BUT Hannah is very excited for the Big k and getting to ride the bus with her sister!!! All day too!!! Mommy is even more excited!!! She is getting so big so fast....I love you Hannah you are a great kid, that keeps me on my toes.
And in addition.... This was Brodie's first year at preschool and believe me he has keep his teachers falling in love with him all year. I am told of his romantic gestures daily. He fancys his teacher Mrs. Thompson....and thinks that shes "real pretty Mom- But not as pretty as you" (can you tell why he has got the girls swooning...)
Usually my kids or someone else's kids do something funny and everyone laughs.... This time people were coming up to us. Saying "SO Whats our boy gonna do this time? Her- her-her- hahahah"

Funny...

Nothing to exciting this time....Besides my little BOY crossed his legs like a girl the whole time....
and a little girl beside him kept telling him what to do and he wasn't having it...and he gave her the ole' Austin Powers "zzzzzzzz.....Zip-Zip it-ziiiiiiippppiddeeyyyyyy-zippppppyour mouth-shut it- close it close it......"
