Monday, February 1, 2010 Joey finally broke his record in one of the Tennis Training Games! He was so happy! (And on Sunday he actually broke it again - so the above photo is of his latest score!) I was so excited today - because I FINALLY got my computer back. It has seriously been such a frustration and causing me so much stress to not have it. This week I'm going to have to spend most of my time getting caught up and back on track with my design stuff! So happy to have my computer back - I really don't survive very well without it! Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Beth and I did some grocery shopping today and came home with some special treats. JJ and Beth got some valentine cookies, fruit snacks, and applesauce when JJ got home from school. Happy Groundhog Day! Wednesday, February 3, ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 2
Monday, January 4, 2010 Time to get back to reality. The kids went back to school today and then we started doing cleaning/organizing of their rooms. We cleared out some shelves and spots for their new toys! Tuesday, January 5, 2010 My computer has been really sluggish lately - so I wiped the hard drive clean and started reinstalling everything and backing everything up. I almost had it ready when my internal hard drive completely died on me. So we took it to Simply Mac to have a new hard drive installed. The good news is that my original 250gb hd is going to be replaced with a internal 500gb hard drive - so I'm going to have space! It will be great. My great hubby also purchased me a 1TB Time Capsule - so I will have a great backup system now when I get my computer ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 41
Monday, October 5, 2009 I think the Crockpot is one of life's greatest inventions. I really need to use mine more. I stuck some chicken, some pinapple and some teriyaki sauce in the crockpot in the morning and it cooked all day. All I had to do was cook up some rice to go with it and dinner was done for today. Why can't I remember to do this more - it really made my day so much easier and dinner was so good! Today was my first day without crutches. The ankle is still weak and I am still using the aircast, but at least I am getting around better! Tuesday, October 6, 2009 I was able to go to the Relief Society Enrichment tonight and it really felt good to get out of the house. It was craft night and I was able to make these adorable Family Home Evening Dice. One dice included ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 19
Monday, May 4, 2009 The kids really love playing on the computer. I guess it totally makes sense - Joey and I are always on our computers. JJ hadn't played on StarFall at home for awhile, so the kids got to play for awhile. Tuesday, May 5, 2009 I had seen this idea on several of the blogs I read. You take all the snacks for your kids for the day and you put them in the slots of a muffin tin. And then when the kids want a snack they go to their tin. I need to get new muffin tins for them, but they LOVED this idea. I think I will get some new ones for them and maybe decorate them or something. What a fun thing and I think this will be perfect this summer! Wednesday, May 6, 2009 I was able to go to another wonderful Scrap Girls Luncheon today. I really love these excursions. ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 11
Monday, March 9, 2009 We had an amazing opportunity today to go to the Draper Utah LDS Temple Open House. The temple is being dedicated next week, so it was our last chance to be able to walk through it. Unfortunately Joey wasn't able to go with us, but I took the kids and I am so glad I did it. It was a snowy day so I wasn't able to get a good picture of the temple (so I took a picture from the internet), but we were able to get a picture of us in the church (next to the temple) with a picture of the Savior. There was a lot of waiting time since there was so many people there, but the kids did pretty well, although by the time we took a photo, Beth was done and wouldn't look at the camera. I hope the kids will remember the special feeling that we had in the Temple. The Spirit was truly ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 8
Monday, February 16, 2009 The kids were feeling pretty shut in and JJ was feeling a little better, so we took an outing to Wal-Mart. Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen had sent some money for JJ's birthday and so he finally got to pick out some presents. He was able to get a toy computer and some Spiderman slippers. He even used a little of his money and bought his sister some little horse toys. JJ was so excited to have money and get some new things. He also paid his tithing for the FIRST TIME! So that's wonderful too! JJ wants to thank Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen for the card and his new fun stuff and Grandpa and Grandma Smith for their card. He LOVES getting mail and loved to see his name on the envelopes. Thank you! He wrote this himself (If you can't read it - it says - Thank you ... [Read More]
