Going Private!

Sorry! I know this is annoying! We have been thinking about this a lot! It is finally time! We would love to have anyone view our blog...just not creep-o-s! I always hate it when blogs of people that I kind of know go private, but seriously I'm flattered if you find us interesting enough to read this, maybe you just like to laugh at my inability to spell. Anyway, anyone is welcome! You know how this works...leave a comment if you want to keep on top of our oh-so-exciting life! I'll probably do this Friday November 5!

and for most of you who don't care about my canning...

here is what I find when I go get this cutie....

note the collection of binkies

She can pull herself up!! We are in TRouBLe!

hey blue eyes!

Domestic Diva

Julie had apples...lots of apples. After picking and canning 6 boxes she was DONE!!! So she asked if I wanted any...well not really...they are a lot of work! but it was an excuse to go see her..so we went. I planned to get maybe a box, but I kept seeing "one more good one" so I ended up with 3 boxes! Then Scott's grandma gave us 4 grocery bags. We had TONS of apples. First I tried to make juice...

After 4 bottles I got tired of that I decided on apple sauce. (juice is easier!) I got 18 bottles!!!!

Here is my quality control specialist! (her hair really isn't always this CrAzY)

Finished product! I'm pretty proud!

From our little monster (with scary hair) to yours!

Confessions of a Mormon Mommy

We are living in a 700 sq ft apartment, every sq inch counts, so we improvised for our TV stand using our food storage. Kind of like on the "R.M." -cheap looking, but it worked. So I got some contact paper and a little more cardboard...

and viola (notice Sports Center- obviously I didn't have the remote)

Hopefully it holds up.

And now for you that only check this for Ains.... here she is trying to eat Grandpa's shoes

and cheesing it!

I love this kid!

Casa Bonita

After the memorial service we went to Denver to Casa Bonita to celebrate Melanie's birthday, nothing like a mariachi band singing "Happy Birthday"! Anyway the kids loved it! Giant Gorillas chasing giant banannas! So fun!

COLORADO

My Grandpa passed away this last thursday. It was bitter sweet. He has been so sick and in so much pain. Saturday was a memorial service so we took a 20 hour road trip and were only gone 56 hour! the kids did awesome! Here are some pictures from the event. Abby thinks Ainsley is a little doll. It was so cute! but she was actually very helpful with Ainsley. Poor Luke had his tonsils out Tuesday, so he didn't feel very good, but there again, he did awesome!
