A musing...

So we recently rearranged our living room furniture. I guess in so doing we drew attention to all of mommy's scrapbooks that were in one of the bookcases we moved. The boys have had a lot of fun going through the photo albums, but I realized something this morning. Most of my photo albums are full of pictures of David. I don't have a single scrapbook for Isaac or Sammy!!! I haven't actually sat down and scrapbooked pictures in probably two or three years! I think part of this has to do with the fact that most of my pictures are digital. Our printer can print pictures just find, it just uses a ton of ink. And I've discovered the joy of blogging, so I usually just post images here. Problem with that though is that the kids can't sit and go through pages like they can a book. So, I have decided I need to just burn a bunch of my pictures to CD and go print them somewhere, or maybe print them on flickr or something... any suggestions? Snapfish? I just really think I need to make some tangible books of them so they don't feel like Mommy never takes pictures of them, even though I've got almost 2700 pictures on my iPhoto...

Completely Random and Bizarre...

I just couldn't look away!


Alien Puppy

Freakin' HILARIOUS!!!!!

Heehee!

ROFLMBOKMFITA!!!!!!!!!

Just trust me on this... watch to the end...

Bugs (Terri, you may not want to read this... there's death here.)

Okay, I know this seems to be a topic of a lot of discussion around here... but there's a LOT of them around here!! Since we came home last thursday, I have seen no less than TWO black widows (sorry, Terri, but I hates dem! If they can hurt my kids, there's trouble...) and today I nearly DIED. I was cleaning the kitchen floor, and I saw a piece of candy stuck in the corner of my kitchen floor (you know how those darn corners collect ick) anyways, I reached out to get the candy, and somehow my body caught up before my brain did, because my hand snapped back before I even realized what it was... guess it's a good thing I err on the side of caution when grabbing in dark corners. There was a brown recluse there, hiding right behind the candy, probably enjoying an afternoon snack. He was a big sucker too. He didn't live to see the end of that jelly bean. Okay, so I wouldn't have died, but I googled the spider to make sure that's what it was and you should see the images of some of their bites!!! YICK!

And today, I was cleaning/rearranging furniture in the living room, and there was a big cucaracha under our table rug. It was smushed but still gross. They sprayed for bugs on friday, it might take a few day to wear in. And I clean religiously... There may be no hope left for me... so long as I stay in Alabama.

So, anyways... I hate bugs. I HATES 'DEMMMMMM ::pumps fist in air::

Oh, and Fay is still hanging around. Rain, rain, go away... I will post pics of the "destruction" later...

Fay

It's raining... a lot... sideways.

I Love This Picture!

Aren't they Cute!?!

Urrrrrr....

Things I am grateful for:

1. A husband who is strong, and loving, and patient, and kind. Who is honorable and willing to serve his family, his country, and his God.

2. My incredibly beautiful, funny boys. They are sweet, innocent, happy little men, who teach me every day about how to be a better person. Children can be so forgiving and trusting and I love them and their sweet little spirits. "It is not a slight thing, when they who are so fresh from God love us." -Charles Dickens Isaac loves to pray. He says, "Father. Thank thee this day. Amen." David is so sweet and such a good big brother, helping Isaac in the car for 12 hours yesterday! And Sammy just makes us laugh!

3. My testimony of Jesus Christ as my Savior. My knowledge of a Heavenly Father who loves us. Knowing that I will be with my sweet boys forever. Direction and guidance, stability in my life amidst a sea of conflicting ideals.

4. The blessing of staying home with my kids. Today Isaac came in and was nagging me deluxe to get off the computer and "play a game" with him. I almost told him to go away, but then realized how fleeting these years are that I have to spend with him and create that relationship with him. So we played Simpsons Clue. And David had kind of a rough day at school. Almost made me wanna pull him out and home-school him. That would be hard. He doesn't take that kind of direction well from me. Gets too frustrated with me. But today I was tempted. I worry about what is going to happen in February when Nathan finishes here. It means a job hunt again, which is scary. Hopefully he will be able to go full-time AGR.

No one understands, save maybe my hubby, how difficult somethings are for me.

Our trip... in pictures...

We didn't take nearly as many as I thought we did... oh well...



The Line

I Do!

So happy!!!


My sweet hubby who watched 7 kids!


There IT IS!!!!!!

The Ring-bearer and Flower-girl share a dance! They were so cute! Inseperable!

Sammy tries to butt in. He was a boogie MASTER! Man, I've never seen a baby get down so hard for so long before! He literally danced all NIGHT!!


Cute happy couple at the Temple.

Hueys fly over St. Louies. :P

Honey!

Cute girl!

ARGH!

So, we're still out of town, and more on that later, when we're no longer out of town(!)...

BUT...

Has anyone noticed the Half Blood Prince widget on the side of my page... ? 332 DAYS!!?!?!?! WTH??? Oh, yes, Warner Brothers has decided, in their infinite wisdom, to move the movie back to next July. Death to them aaaallllll.....

Another day of randomness!!

Sammy at my computer. He's trying to figure out what the fuss is all about...


David likes to dress up, needless to say. He was going out to play n the 90* weather dressed like this. He loves that jacket that his Aunt Maren and Uncle Landon sent him.


Oh NO! What happe- oh, it's just paint. Yep, we spent friday night watching the Olympics and painting. The kids were a wreck. And this bright idea came along after bath time!?!


A pic of Sammy that Ike Ike took over breakfast.


Cuteness!!


David is supposed to take things that he likes/represent him to school, so he had me take a pic of him and his brother in their room! I love their faces! (Notice the poster on the wall? Oh yeah, baby!)


This is the other pic he wanted... the FAM! I don't know why it goes blurry in the middle. I think the camera needs a cleaning!

Too funny not to share...

Welcome to Alabama.

OMHECK!!! ROFL... I just clicked on the pic of Ike Ike below, and if you look closely, the bowling pin is like "WTFreak?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Hooah!

Okay...

So I know I just posted like a million posts, but I HAD to share this that just happened...

Ike Ike and Sam Bam were playing quietly in Sammy's room, so I went to check it out. Sammy was playing with his little airplane and Isaac with the Weebles castle... He informed me that the objects in the chairs were people... one was a ghost, one was the Ike Ike ring... then I didn't stick around to hear the rest, cause once I figured out what the ghost was I had to get the camera... Mommy needs to remember to zip her purse shut! LOL

Oh yeah...

I added some more cool music to my music player. Check it out...

Lots of posts today!

So, it's the first day of first grade for David!




I think August 7th is like WAAAY to early for school to start but, oh well!!! He's gonna miss 7 days when we go for my brother's wedding, which is nuts and makes me worried that he's gonna get behind or miss a bunch of stuff. His teacher said she'd give me work for him to do at least. I just hope he doesn't get sick too much this year!

Waiting for breakfast!!!! What a goober!


Cute sleepers.


Sammy's favorite spot... right beneath mine!!

Hee hee!

I just thought this was funny... this is the paragraph for Dumbledore...


You like 'em powerful and brilliant. And why not? A guy like this, you can have intelligent conversation with, laugh with, and you know he can protect you. Sure, he may have a weakness for power, but he's got that under control. And sure, he let his sister die, but he learned from that. And sure, he harbors a secret, forbidden love for a man widely known to be his mortal enemy, but...well, no, that's actually a pretty big obstacle. Good luck with that.

And Bill Weasley...

You like guys who are cool. And not cool in that fake way, but actually cool. He's so cool that they couldn't find any actor to adequately portray him, so they decided to just leave him out of the movies rather than risk not doing justice to his coolness. He's like the Chuck Norris of Harry Potter: plain freaking awesome. When Voldemort says "You-Know-Who", he's talking about Bill Weasley.

HA! Am I surprised!?

Seriously, I tried to pick the honest answers. I thought for sure it would be Lupin... almost was, by like 1%... heck, it was almost Mad EYE too. YIKES!

Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Snape

You like a guy of loyalty and intelligence and don't really mind if he comes across as a bit harsh. Or a bit bastardy. Or if he happens to terrify every child who crosses his path. The point is that under that rough exterior lies...well, a rough interior. But under that is a soft, squishy center and you don't mind at all that you're the only person in the world who gets to see it.

I found this shot the other day when I was going through my I-Photo. I'll give you one guess why I love it so much!?!



Okay, okay... I LOVE Isaac's face. He's such a stinker!!!

Someone recc'd this to me.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

I found this incredibly funny. Hopefully you will too. I haven't watched any of the videos that are linked after this video ends, so I can not be held responsible for questionable content! :P

Alright...

I'm sure some of you have heard this before... some of you may have even been there... I was working at FARMS (Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies) at BYU as a secretary. Bascially, we took the phone orders, renewed people's subscriptions, and directed phone calls. Anyways, to renew a subscription, or place an order, you always started by asking for their last name, so you could look them up in the database. Well, one day in walks Donny Osmond. All of us girls working in the office knew it was him and exchanged excited glances. He went in to our managers office and then they came out and our manager, Brent, said, "Sara will help you renew your membership." So he walks over to my desk, I look up and smile and 

say, "Last name?" ... silence in the whole room (mentally I am kicking my self and rolling my eyes stupid stupid stupid)... "Osmond"... "Okay," I say. (It gets better.) "First name?" ... At this point he's looking at me with a mixture of horror and curiosity... "Donny," he says very slowly. Inside my brain I am just screaming at myself (Augh, couldn't you just take the credit card from the poor man and let him leave!!!!) Gheez. He paid and left, and didn't look too happy about the experience. My fellow office workers, if I remember correctly, graciously did not tease me too mercilessly. I had a lot of TRULY embarassing experiences working there. In fact, I think nearly all of my embarassing moments happened there... except for last Sunday, when I tripped over the children's gate taking Sammy into the nursery at church and sent him flying and me sprawling, skirt around my thighs, all over the nursery floor. Have I mentioned I'm a bit of a dork???
