These are a few of my favorite foods

I love to eat. Here are a few of my favorite things to eat (right now in this stage of pregnancy)

* Cheese, any kind but mostly string cheese
* Fruit, mostly grapefruit and oranges (probably because that is what has been on sale)
* Hot homemade bread or rolls
* Hot herbal tea

I also love to eat anything I don't have to make (like my sister brought me a few meals and they were great! leftover usually work in this category too)

Birthday cake fun

No Lauren we did not just have a dirt cake...it was a tractor cake though (and David added a lot of sprinkles!) We had my sister over for cake and ice cream after we had french fries for lunch.

I don't know why there is half the cake on both my children's faces...I hope they grow out of the messy eating!!! (PS Becca didn't have any cake on her face!)

Happy 3rd Birthday to David!

David is going to have 3 days of birthday fun. Oh the joys of having MOM just tell you what we are going to do and when. Yesterday I took David and a little friend to the Dinosaur museum (we went yesterday because they are free until they are 3 :) Annie I am trying to win Miss Cheapy Pants award) Today the girls are going to Mimi's birthday party. They are so excited to go skating. While they are there I will take David shopping. THEN tomorrow we are going to Carl's JR to the play place for lunch, he wants to go to McDonald's, but I don't really like the food there. My sister and her family is meeting us there and then we are going to come back here for cake and ice cream and maybe a few games.






Here are some good pictures from the museum.

Swimming in the sand

In awe of the great shark

Looking up at the dinosaur (I need a new camera, but that is way down on the priority list)

Playing at the water table. We were here for about an hour!

knock knock

This post starts out about 12 years ago when I was a bug girl. I would go door to door trying to sell pest control services. Those were LONG, HOT days. I made more money than I would have staying in Provo, but it was really hard.

This summer right after we moved here someone came knocking on our door selling coupons for oil changes. I had bought some in PA (from a different company) and I had just paid about $40 on an oil change so $60 for 6 oil changes sounded great to me. I bought one for me and Aaron.

Well we finally got around to getting our oil changed (about 2 months overdue) and when we went to the place they said they wouldn't honor them because they were never paid from the promotion company. We tried the phone number on the card, no longer in service. Tried the web site, not up to date. I had paid by check - so now I guess we were just taken! I will be a little more hesitant about door to door sales men!

Best friend in the whole world

This morning I was talking with David and he said something about his best friend in the whole world...I was curious...who is it...

Clifford the big red dog :) He doesn't even watch that show we just have a stuffed Clifford.

The Biggest Loser

I was over at my friends house this morning (who lived in PA when I did) and she told me that Elder Fa (spelling...) was on the show The Biggest Loser. He was seriously the best missionary I think I have ever known. He LOVED the people and when he came into your house you could just FEEL his spirit. Here is a link to his bio I hope he wins! He is the nicest guy EVER!

sad and funny

I am SO sad...I had to put away Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. I love the music, the fun, the lights, the happy people everywhere, the laying around doing nothing...now back to reality! I guess something to look forward to next year. To think, the new baby might be crawling around the Christmas tree by next year!

Funny story...about a week or so ago we were sitting at the dinner table and we were talking about something and

Becca said, "when the next baby comes, and the next baby comes, and the next baby comes."

I said, "how many babies do you think I am going to have?"

Becca, "I don't know, 10"

Me laughing, "oh honey I don't think we will have 10 kids. Sarah, how many kids do you think we are going to have?"

Sarah, "Four, just four."

Then LAST night we were talking about our Family Home Evening Chart that my sister made us for Christmas and Becca said when we have 10 kids what will we all do for Home Evening. HAHA we are NOT having 10 kids!
