I Just Had too

I had to copy Bugs. The first pic that I uploaded I looked like Dave's celeb fave Penelope Cruz, Beyonce, and Oprah. But that pic of me wasn't blog worthy so I changed and I ended up like these fine women. I laughed when I saw Penelope, now I know why Dave likes her so much :)

Just for Show

I took this picture on Sunday because the girls were wearing the same dress. My mom made them when my little brother got married. The one Cora is wearing was Caits and the one Cait is wearing was my neices. I just thought they looked so cute, plus I promised my mom that I would post it. Enjoy.

NEW CAMERA

I got my new camera yesterday. Thank you all for your input. I went with the Canon SD 790 Elph. So far I like it alot. And I played with it today. Here are a few pics that I have taken just for fun.

What do you do?

What do you do when you are sitting in the school parking lot and your 3 year old starts screaming that he needs to pee and needs to pee bad, and the kids still aren't coming out for 5 more minutes? Answer: You grab and empty bottle. End of story.
Sorry to anyone that had to hear Cora scream DADDY! in the middle of Ada's baby blessing yesterday. Dave wasn't in his seat and she was trying to find him. I thought it was funny. She did it again when she noticed he was back and tried to get his attention. Even the bishop smiled when she did it that time.
And I need info. I am in the market for a new camera. I am down to two choices: a Sony Cybershot or a Canon Powershot Elph. Which do you prefer?

Goals revisited

Like I said I am giving you an update on my goals for the year. Here's the list and the progress (progress in red):

• 
  Read the Book of Mormon at least once by the end of 2009 (twice would be better, but we have to start small.) I am doing okay. I am almost through 1st Nephi. I know small book, long month, but I struggle. I am at least reading 2 to 3 times a week. Better than not at all like before.
• 
  Attend the Temple at least twice a month. (That may sound easy to some, but for David and I it is really hard, we are horrible Temple attenders.) Didn't happen. I haven't renewed my recommend yet so I didn't make it, but Dave is giving me my interview tomorrow so I will have it signed on Wednesday by the stake.
• 
  FHE every Monday. That's another one we are horrible at. We spend a lot of time together on Monday and we always try to do something, but we forget to add the spiritual part in there, so that's really my goal. Doing GREAT. We had it every week but this week, and I think we missed because we were all sick.
• 
  Make job charts for me and the kids. I made them the other day, just in time too. (see previous post). I didn't get one made for me, but I am still trying to figure out how to do that.
• 
  Get out of bed and do yoga at least 3 times a week. I have been a pro on this one, once again except for this week, it was fun times and I was sick and just didn't fell like it. And I don't have to get up early, I bought a couple of video's so I have been doing it at night.
• 
  Read the Book of Mormon with the kids as part of reading time each night. Not happening, I actually forgot that this was a goal. I know horrible goal if you can't even remember it, but now I have had a reminder and I will get it done.
• 
  No computer or TV until the kids are in bed. That is really hard for me, at least the computer part is, the TV is easy. But I am going to start out slow, I get 15 minutes in the morning to just check if anyone emailed or responded. Slow and steady wins the race. I am not fulfilling it completely. I am better though, I don't spend as much time on the computer all together. This goal is on my mind a lot and if I find myself at the computer in the middle of the day, I make it quick and get off. Baby steps.
• 
  My final goal should work well if I succeed with the last one. Spending time playing, teaching, crafting and all around spending time with my kids. Since I spend so much time worrying about the computer, with that out I should be better at paying attention to them. (Bad mom I know). Yes I am doing better. I am not as sharp with the kids and I am purposely making time instead of being dragged into it kicking and screaming. I think by working on my other goals it makes this one a lot easier.

Stay tuned in at the end of Feb for another update. If I succeed I just might add a few more.

The powers out...

Okay it's not because the power went out that I made these, it's because I was bored, but the title worked. I saw chore charts like these at a boutique that I went to before Christmas and one of my resolutions was to make myself and kids a chore chart. So here you go. They are not quite finished I just need the little markers to go on them, but they are mostly done. Oh the things I can do when I am bored and have the fixin's at hand.

PUKE!!!

For like 2 months I have been talking about the girls night out that started yesterday and ran through today. All of Dave's sister's, cousins and aunts get together, eat, play bingo, sleep, eat and go to a movie. This morning when I woke up Dave called and said that Dawson had thrown up last night twice. I just laughed and punched the air, because he always has it so easy. Never has life interrupted. So I was just laughing that he had to deal with that. But an hour later he called and said Cora was throwing up and that is just not funny. So instead of going to a movie and lunch, I came home to two sick kids and a stinky house. Yea for me!!!
Just FYI, last night was fun, but I didn't win at bingo AGAIN. That's two years in a row.
