Just Try And Live Without It!!!!!

What is "it" you ask.... The Internet!!! You never know how much you depend on it until you don't have it!!! So, I was beyond thrilled today when I looked out my window and saw the DHL man walking up to my door with my new computer.... McKay had been out riding his bike and was helping him of course!

I have absolutely no patience with technical things... But, I can make a very good pie!!! So, I bribed James with a fresh homemade strawberry pie for a running computer and Internet!!! I think it was a fair swap!

Well, it's up early in the morning - So, as badly as I would love to sit up and play with my computer... I will hate myself for it in the morning when the alarm goes off at 5:30...

New pictures coming soon!

Technical Difficulties!!!

O.K. So, my computer finally died!!! James has been on me for over 6 months to get a new one.... So, that is why I have been a little missing in action lately! So, a new one is ordered and is supposed to be on my door step tomorrow! You never realize how much you depend on your computer and Internet until it's gone! I'm going crazy! We'll be up and running again soon!

One More!!!

Sorry, once I posted I realized that I forgot one picture!

A little project...





So, I have been wanting to make a little mini album of pictures that I have of the boys together. A couple months ago I had bought a frozen pizza and it had come wrapped in plastic and was on this round piece of cardboard (the pizza didn't actually touch the cardboard, the plastic protected it)... James laughed at me when I told him I was going to keep the cardboard to make something... So, the album is made of that cardboard! I folded it in half and painted and distressed the outside and made this little album! So, this was a little project that I worked on over the weekend.

Lately I have been frustrated that there isn't enough time in the day to do everything I need and want to do... Probably the story of most young mothers! So, I have decided that I am going to get up at 5:00 a.m. every morning to get a good jump start on the day........................... Today was the first day............................. and here it is 4:00 p.m. and I am really dragging! I hope my body will adjust and this will become easier! I have to admit that by 8:00 this morning I had worked out, ready my scriptures, made beds, did laundry, made and cleaned up breakfast and had showered and was ready for the day!!! I like all that I have been able to accomplish - I just really hope it gets easier!!! I wouldn't have to get up so early, but my kids and my husband are earlier risers so I have to get up that early to get a good head start!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

A Few Pictures...





Well, here are a couple pictures of our trip... My Camera ran out of battery when I was downloading... So, I will add more later. James' parents have just bought a new house and don't have the yard put in yet - McKay loved it because he dug out holes and just made huge mud holes! A little boys dream - especially when his mother isn't yelling at him to stop!!! I knew it was snowing in Idaho and I just kept encouraging him!!! The underware did have to be thrown away though!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Phoenix Zoo - That Zoo is huge and could take a couple days to get through! I loved the Africa exhibit and McKay loved riding the Camel. He thought it was great that the Camel's name was Josh( he has a cousin named Josh)! He just kept laughing about it!

We spent a couple days at the pool - Carter loved it and had absolutley no fear of the water. He would stand at the side and just jump in. Needless to say after this trip we have decided that we are not taking him to Lake Powell with us!

Well, this week has been full of catching up! I'll get more pictures posted later!

We're Home!!!

Yes, we finally made it home Sunday... and woke up Monday morning to snow.... Carter cried all day at the bay window because he wanted to go out and play!!! In all honesty I wanted to cry too! We went from 90 degree days to snow... So typical Idaho!

I'm getting caught up around here a little and then I will post some pictures of our trip!
