Here We Are
Life has been pretty normal around here. Here is what we have been up to.
GIRLS NIGHT: Girls honestly can talk forever. Get a room of girls together and everything under the sun will be discussed. Last night we had our monthly Girls' Night. All we did was bring food and sit and chat....for 4 hours!!! I love those women! We talked about potty training, nursing, the Food Nanny, Facebook, morality issues teens face, Brittany Spears, Brangelina, movies, dreams, kid tantrums and life after death. It's very insightful.
RENTAL CAR: At the end of December I was involved in a very minor car accident. A lady went through a stop sign and I hit her. There is something to be said about driving a big Dodge Ram 2500, just the bumper got damaged. The lady's van, back side of it, very damaged. So the truck is in the shop and I'm driving a puny rental car. The kids love it because it's a smaller car then they are used and to them it feels like it goes super fast.
ROADSHOW: Our bishopric has a sense of humor. They called me to oversee the Roadshow for our ward. Kind of funny. Luckily we have theater/dance gurus in our ward and so there is hope. Coming up with a script is a bit overwhelming. This week I've been running storyline ideas by Tom. When I was 14 I did win best actress in our Stake Raodshow, for acting like Barbie and being an airhead so I guess that qualifies me to be over the Raodshow....we'll see.
http://www.thereadystore.com/: Tom is working hard. He's maintaining the web site. It's all food storage and emergency preparedness. Get prepared people! This week they keep getting orders from the east coast and people are willing to pay extra for shipping so they have emergency stuff before Ballistic Obama has his inauguration. The world may end in the next couple of years.
PRESCHOOL: Samantha learned about teeth and the dentist. She brought home a little pillow with a pocket to put a tooth in when she looses one. She is terrified to lose a tooth and she said she doesn't want to grow up anymore.
Some Pictures to Enjoy!
Cleaning out the box truck. Anyone want to buy a Box Truck?
The blanket pull, inside. It's a wild party around here.
Samantha is so cute and strong. She is one determined girl! I love it.
Seth, our wide-eyed sweetie
Trey had a little accident on Sunday. He was jumping to the ottoman but missed and landed on the floor. He tweaked his foot/toe. So he's been limping around the house.

One Big Fat ReCap
HAPPY 2009!
I'm recapping the entire month of December right here, in the following post. Thank you friends and family for a tremendously festive and joyous Christmas. I loved receiving everyones Christmas letters/cards. Congrats to all the happy news and annoucements. Christmas mail is one of my favorite things. We felt very loved. We spent Christmas and New Years Eve in Cache Valley. We loved being with family. We got to stay with Schmickrath's and visit with Cade, Jill, Leah and Carter and our super cool friends the Larsens. No surprise there, everyone we know is Cool! The following is a snipit of pictures from our Christmas celebration. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
