Decoratin' Cookies

For just about every holiday of the year we end up decoratin' cookies for a fun weekend activity-and even though it is not even October we did Halloween ones. Pacey takes this very seriously and takes about 15 minutes on each cookie-so I end up frosting most of them so we are not doing it all might long! This was Tenley's first time doing and she thought that she was supposed to frost her mouth-weird huh.

Conversations with Tenley

I have put a couple of my conversations with Pacey on here so I thought that I would do one of me and Tenley's:
Tenley-"Mommy wa dat?"
Me-"a book"
Tenley-"book"
Me-"Mommy wa dat?"
Me-"its a book"
Tenley-"Mommy, mommy, mommy, book wa dat?"
Me-"Tenley it is a book you just said it"
Tenley-"book"
Me-"Yes book, good girl"
Tenley-"Mommy wa dat"

Then you could continue you this on for like 853 times and you would get my day with Tenley minus naps and when Pacey gets home from school. AWESOME!!

30 Years

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the DATC-they had a big party and we all went. My dad has been running that school as the President for over 14 years-and doing it well. I am very proud that he is my dad,he has so much respect with everyone that he knows. So congrats dad for being an awesome influence for all of the people that you know-we all love you.(Mom you will have to open this for dad if you want-we all know he doesn't know how to use a computer)

Mini golfin'

So my dad is on the city council in Layton and with that comes perks for the rest of us-my dad get's invited to all the activites that go on around the city. So my mom and dad called to let us know that they were going to take everyone mini golfing so we all went and had a great time-espcially Tenley after the worker gave her a ball and her own club-thanks again mom and dad.

Nie Nie

So I have spent the whole morning reading about Nie. I have gone to her blog a couple of times and thought the she was an amazing person and an amazing mom-I heard all about the accident a while back and felt so bad for her. Today I decided I would read her sisters blog and I have been crying non stop for the last hour and a half. Firstly, I am so amazed at her family, her sisters are so strong and so great, I am sure that Nie and her husband and comforted in the fact that they have such a great family that they know that their kids are safe. Second, it makes you feel that there is still so much good in the world people that do not even know her have come to her help and have raised over 100,000 dollars and prayed for her in probably too many religions to count. It just makes you sit back and think that your issues are never as bad as you think-it also makes you think that even if you do have your problems there will always be someone there to help you up, I have found huge comfort thinking if anything ever happened to me that I have an amazing family that I know would step in and do all that they had to do in my time of need. I just hope that one day I can be as strong in all of my convictions as they are be and try te be a better person each day.

My kid is delusional

I can admit it some times I am a bit of an over-achiever, but now I have made my child a little on the delusional side. The other night we were talking about what he wanted to be for Halloween and he says to me
"I want to be shockwave from the Transformers"
I said "Well I don't think that I can make that costume"
He says "I have a little action figure of him that you can use for reference"
I guess that I should feel flattered that he thinks that I can do anything but I think that I am setting a presidence that his future wife is not going to want to follow

More Canning

So my garden overfloweth and I felt guilt that some of my vegetables might go bad so I set my mind to canning. This time I did Zucchini salsa-that is amazing, pickled peppers, green pepper jelly, and then canned all the tomatoes that I could find in my garden-I would reccomend having two people for this job. It is so long and hard but it is so worth it and I love to get all the use out my garden that I can!(I love how the pics look like I am taking this to my sick granny)
