What's wrong with this picture?

#1. I'm at work and not at home in my p.j's in front of a fire sipping hot cocoa and reading a book....that's VERY WRONG.

#2. It's snowing. Did the weather man check the calendar?

#3. I'm at work and not at home in my p.j's in front of a a fire sipping hot cocoa and reading a book. (but I am sipping a Diet Coke so it's not all bad)

Copy Cat


I admit...I'm a copy cat. I found this LINK on Adrian's blog and had to try it. Super fun. This photo was taken way WAY back in 2008.....see how old it looks?

Berkley's Prayer


I realize many of you may not know the REAL Berkley. Outside of her comfort zone she is quiet and shy and really won't even look you in the eye. But behind closed doors, or 'comfortable doors' she is a ham. She LOVES family prayer and when we say it's time for prayer she gets so excited and calls the kids over, kneels down, and is so eager. Every time we say a prayer she insists on saying it and even if we tell her it's someone else's turn...she still has to say her own prayer after the original prayer is said. She dutifully folds her arms, bows her head and closes her eyes. Last night she said family prayer and here is what she said.

She starts out with all the correct wording and then says...."bless Jesus be safe, bless daddy & Connor be safe, bless my Sissies be safe, bless mommy be safe, bless Grandma & Grandpa be safe, bless food be safe, bless daddy be safe....." and then ends it with all the correct grammar.

We always end with a smile on our faces when she says the prayer. I think Daddy gets double blessings to be safe because he's not big into the seat belts.

Internet 101

So there is an unlimited amount of information you can gain from the internet. Truly a great invention. I can't say too much but I'm researching something for someone for a certain event that's happening sometime soon.


Did you know that all these things come in 'gummy' form?

Lobsters
Giant Anatomical Heart (for the budding heart surgeon)
Butterflies (super cute for a little girl birthday party)
Frogs
Alphabet
Teeth
Chicken Legs
3-D Spiderman
Fried Eggs
Poker Chips
Army guys

Dice (to go with the poker chips...note to self: remember "Poker Theme" for Berkley's 3rd birthday party....JUST KIDDING BISHOP!)
Brains
Boo-boo (bandages with a gummy scab)
If you want to browse more of if you are in the market for a Fear Factor lollipop with a real scorpion go to THE CANDY WAREHOUSE. (click on the yellow "Categories" tab at the top to help in your searching)

St. (In-N-Out) George

Recently Bruce and I had the opportunity to get away ALONE to St. George. The older kids were safely tucked away at their other parents, Berkley and Moshi were chillin' with my sister, and Potsy....well....Potsy was being babysat by my sis-in-law & my gracious neighbor.

Bruce & I had some awesome sushi and Thai food, In-n-Out was a definite sight seeing stop (twice), we went on a hike in Snow Canyon, and caught a movie. One fun part was that we met up with my friend Jen and her friends who were also on retreat down south. The weather man still owes me 10 degrees as it never really did get as warm as we thought it would. I'm going back with my sisters and mom for a girls weekend retreat at the end of the month. I expect to see a little more sun and a little more skin (Fran....bikini!).

Here is Bruce hiking the Three Ponds trail. I think there was a typo because it should have been the Three Puddles trail.
No one was around to take our picture so I had to figure out another way to take document our adventure.
