GET YOUR SHOP ON!

Be sure to come visit Brianna and I at Santa's Workshop this Friday and Saturday from 10-6 at the Dixie Center. It costs NOTHING to get in. There are so many vendors there with tons of cute and creative things for Christmas. It's not all crafts either...there is alot of other stuff. Anyway, just because we are cool...if you buy something over $50 from us we will give you 10% off! I know, we are nice. If you bring a friend and they order something over $50, then we'll give you $5 bucks! Again, we are so nice! Okay, really though, we'd love to see you guys! Please come by, it's a ton of fun!

HILARIOUS!

I got this email from Andrea so sorry to her that this post is nothing new but I thought it was hilarious and wanted to share my laughter.

THE ONION AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his Father, "Dad how many kinds of boobies are there?" The father, surprised, answers, "well son there's three kinds of breasts. In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round & firm. In her thirties and forties, they are like pears, still nice, but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like onions." "Onions?" "Yes, you see them and they make you cry." This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter says, "Mom how many types of Willies are there?" The Mother, surprised, smiles and answers. "Well dear, a man goes throught three phases. In his twenties, his willie is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties & forties, it's like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a christmas tree." "A christmas tree?" " Yes dear, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration only."

Hilarious wasn't it? I also thinks it's halarious cause I know nothing about the boobies since I am in my twenties and I don't have any! HAHA, dang kids anyway!

Time to catch up

It has been awhile since my last post and I suppose I have a few things to post on. Not in any particular order but some random events of the last few weeks. First and for most I must say I have been out of the blog world for at least the last week and a half. I had so much going on that I didn't dare sit at the computer. I do admit that I cheated a couple of times because the temptation got the best of me and there is so much to catch up on with everyones new posts so don't feel bad for no comments. Also during that time I noticed today that I was tagged atleast twice by Valerie and Britney, I will get to it girls so keep checking it is going to require some thought since I find myself very uninteresting sorry. Back to my absence, I started a new job, something sorta dumb, embarrassing, annoying and probably a list of other things but I can sit in my bed, on my couch, anywhere I want and in my pajamas so it should be worth it. It is a phone research company. They give you a list of company's each week that have just had events at hotels or convention centers and such and I call the company to get the name of the conact person that set up the event. Simple as that, not too bad and a little bit of extra money. Also Brianna and I just got back from the annual Panguitch Holiday Craft Fair so I spent last week making magnet boards and getting all the things that I procastinated doing until the last minute done. Atleast most of our work is done for Santa's Workshop so this week won't be as bad. So now to the pictures.

Below you can see that Frankie just had a Birthday. I can't believe he is 3! It was way fun watching him and he is going to be a blast at Christmas. The best part is that on his actual Birthday (saturday) he went poop on the toilet and then he has gone twice since then. No accident yet! What the birthday present for me, I try to not be too excited I am expecting a few accidents but as long as we are moving in the right direction I am very pleased. He has grown up so much the past month, talks in conversation form with words that I never knew he knew and apparently picked them up from us and is very independent. We love you Frankie!
Below is pictures of Makaela when she walked in the parade with her dance team. It was a few weeks ago but I just got the pictures on the computer. She was so dang cute and just really into it. I loved watching her and realized that she just might be a little performer. She loves dancing and singing and speaking of singing she had a choir concert last week as well and she did so good. I really want to start her in voice lessons so if anyone know of someone besides diamond talent let me know. By the way doesn't she look BEAUTIFUL!

Last but not least for me is I am sick as a dog. That statement is actually really stupid and I know this is random but after I typed it I realized that. Does it even make sense? I did absolutely nothing today and the house looks like a tornado. Makaela came home from school and cleaned the kitchen like a sweet little girl and Frank came home and took out the trash, so atleast I can stand to open my eyes now. The point is I know this is a long post and may not make much since but the medicine is wearing off I am not going to proof read it. Thanks for suffering through it.

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!

Dear Bloggers,

Please bare with me I just need to vent my frustrations for a brief moment. I know I have complained about this before but it is still going on. Potty Training. Seriously how do you do it. Frankie fully understands the concept he just simply won't do it. We have the peeing down, it was pretty much a breeze compared to pooping. I have reward toys and candy and it is not working. What else have I tried, okay yelling, time out, screaming, talking, taking away his favorites, spanking (not hard he doesn't even care) I throw away his underwear, put him in a diaper. UUGGGGHHHHH! I just can't take cleaning up anymore poop so please give me something that works. Plus I am sick of doing laundry just so he has clean underwear.

Sincerely,

FRUSTRATED

Halloween

The kids had a week full of Halloween and loved every minute of it. On Saturday the ward did a Trunk or Treat which took some convincing to get Frankie in his costume but once he figured out what it was all about he jumped at the chance to put it back on come Wednesday. We stayed around the neighborhood last night to trick or treat door to door with their cousin Nathan who was a pirate, Makaela was Hannah Montana and Frankie the Spider-man. Now that I have eaten more of there candy than them we say Happy Halloween and pack up the decorations and fun until next year. Hope everyone had a great night like we did.

Staheli Farm

It has actually been a couple of weeks since we went to the Staheli Farm with Linsey, Gabby, Lacy, CJ, My sister Michelle and her boy
Nathan. I am slow and just got around to putting them on the computer. All in all we had a very fun time. I had never been and my kids loved it. Frankie was crazy about the tractors and he still plays with his pumpkin. Makaela and Nathan enjoyed the corn maze, they thought they were so smart to be able to get us through there. Gabby loved the dirty and smelly animals and just getting dirty in general. You loved it to didn't you Linds! As for CJ he seemed to enjoy everything. I was surprised how much they had to do there and how much time it really takes up. It looks like it will have to be a yearly tradition if my kids have anything to say about it.

Sliver

So I have been asked to do a post on my, wait my kids and husbands dog Sliver. As most of you know, I am most definitely not an animal person. If it doesn't stink, lick, shed, pee or poop I could deal with it. There for I am not that fond of Silver. I will admit that I wanted her when Frank came home with her and said she was ours if I said so. She was so cute how could I resist. Plus something so small could not be that hard to deal with, not much hair and I could for sure potty train her right. So I said yes, now I can't get rid of her. Who was I kidding anyway, I can smell her all of the time and I can't even potty train my soon to be 3 year old how could I potty train a dog that I won't even touch. If someone wants to potty train her for me I will not complain again. That really is my only complaint. She is not much of a nu sense since she is so small just that she poops and pees everywhere. NOT COOL!
