Aaahhh. I can relax now a bit. We finished our Relief Society Birthday dinner last night. I think it went well. Thanks to all those who helped pull it off. And a special thanks to Lisa Belnap. You were wonderful.

For those of you who have asked or are wondering... I will be having a Twilight movie night at my house for anyone who wants to come. Jim went and found it on Blu-ray for me, so let me know if I should put you on my list to invite.

For anyone who cares... we've taken our house off the market and we're staying in Idaho Falls. Jim took a job working with a resturaunt called Hard Hat Steakhouse. It will be an adventure. They are building the new resturaunt over in Snake River Landing.

Brighton told me this morning that it was spring. I asked him how he knows that and he said it's because he heard the birds chirping outside his window. That means it's spring.

"Shhhh... the princess is sleeping."

Brighton loves his 7 different blankets. So much so that he's named a few of them. There is Danky, blue blanky and ducky blanky. Those are the only ones I remember. Anyway, the other night he had blue blanky in hand and says to me, "mommy, where is danky?" I told him that I had just washed and folded him and he was sitting in my room to put away. He then said " I need him, I can't sleep with blue blanky anymore cuz he kicks me at night." I laughed so hard I just about wet my pants. I said, "he kicks you huh? that's no good" and he says "nope and I don't want to sleep with him until he stops kicking me."

What a funny little imaginations.

Happy Birthday Daddy! I miss you!!

I looked out our windows this morning and it was a blizzard. I was wishing that I was back in Germany hanging out at this beautiful castle and enjoying the beautiful snow. Here, it's not nearly as much fun or quite as beautiful. Why is that??? :)

Well, it's a sad day... we put our house up for sale. Anyone know of anyone who wants to buy a great house at a great price, let us know.

I'm going to brag for a minute... sorry. I am so proud of my husband. He has worked very hard on HIS (our) theatre room. What a fun place to spend time. GREAT JOB Baby!!!

Hopefully this doesn't gross anyone out.

This morning when my son woke up this is what we found.

So, I'm pretty sure that blood is not suppose to come out of your EARS! It didn't hurt and he never complained about it, but I took him to the insta care just the same. The doctor said he was not able to even see into his ear it was so coated and that I needed to clean it out with ear drops and come back in two weeks. It's a good thing it doesn't hurt.

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

I got this in my email today and rolled on the ground laughing ! It's hillarious.

P.S. Sorry if my last post offended anyone. Jim didn't like it and said that I was being mean. That was NOT my intention.

Well, thought I'd post something, but I really don't have a whole lot that is anything to talk about. My kids are all running fevers and I get to work 5 days this week. I have laundry out the nose and my house that i just cleaned is a disaster again. Oh well, such is life.

*To avoid laundry, run around naked*
(this is the saying that is going on my laundry room wall)

Had fun watching the super bowl on our movie screen, and all those of you who were invited and didn't come... You missed out, not just because of the movie screen, but Jim makes some great food. Those of you who didn't think you were invited... I've already put out our open invitation. We are not the type of people who get offended if you invite yourselves. :-) (just give us a bit of warning, because I'm all about trying to "avoid laundry." J/K )

Nothing else exciting going on. I'd better get to bed.

My mom and dad have some of the greatest missionaries in the whole world. They really are like family. My dad and mom loved their missionaries deeply and those missionaries know it. Every month on the 14th of the month, my mom's eyes water as she receives a box of red roses from those missionaries remembering hers and their loss. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful things they did and are still doing for my parents. Now there is a memorial/reunion in the works for April. Thank you.
