Life 365 | Week 41

Monday, October 4, 2010

We have been getting quite a bit of rain the past couple of days and it is actually feeling like it is Fall. I love it. Fall is definitely my favorite season right now and I hope we get a long one. I spent quite a bit of the day making a menu and grocery shop list. I’m determined to stay within my budget and stick to the menu this month!

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

A major grocery shopping trip turned into a cleaning frenzy in the kitchen today. I cleaned out all the pantry shelves and got everything organized. It feels nice to have it all full.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

We got the kids school pictures back today. I loved how Beth’s turned out. JJ’s smile was pretty cheesy, but it did capture how he is with photos right now!

Thursday, October 7, 2010

We got a long hail storm today and even though they were pretty small – they were extremely hard! It was very loud! The kids came home off the bus from school so excited about it.

Friday, October 8, 2010

We put Beth’s hair in braids last night after her bath so that her hair would be wavy today. She was so excited about the waves and begged for me to take photos of her. She is one cute girl!

Saturday, October 9, 2010

No, Joey didn’t go to jail or anything – but he did get a haircut today! The kids just played around the house today and I spent most of the day designing.

Life 365 | Week 34

Monday, August 16, 2010

This morning, JJ and Beth took their stuffed tigers (Con and Sasha) and put them in Joey’s backpack so they could “help” Dad at work. It was pretty adorable to see their heads sticking out of the backpack as Joey headed out the door! Unfortunately, Joey ended up being really late coming home tonight and Beth really wanted Sasha back to sleep with her. But I finally got her to go to sleep and when Joey came home he tucked Sasha in beside Beth. She was very happy in the morning!

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

We finally got JJ in for his school haircut today! We decided to just buzz it off so that it would last longer. He looks great! We also finished our school shopping today so we’re all set for next week!

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

We surprised the kids with tickets to go to the outdoor movie tonight! We saw The Princess and the Frog (even though we already have the DVD). It was still fun to take blankets and pillows and be in our PJs and watch a movie outside. Just as the movie finished it started raining, so it worked great!

Thursday, August 19, 2010

I love sunsets. I haven’t taken the time to watch them this summer so this one snuck up on me and it was really beautiful! I need to remember to take just a little time to think and to see the beauty instead of rushing around so much.

Friday, August 20, 2010

Unfortunately, Beth has developed her daddy’s sense of style. This morning when Joey and I got up, we discovered that Beth had already gotten dressed today. Her choice of the day – a pink plaid skirt and a navy blue/pink striped polo shirt. I tried to explain to her why it didn’t match, but that just made her sad, so no smiles for the photo. It was just kind of a bad day for all of us. Unfortunately, she stayed grumpy all day and I wish I just wouldn’t have said anything. I had fallen asleep reading last night and forgot to take out the BBQ chicken that was cooking in the crockpot for my dinner exchange tomorrow – so I completely burned it and had to start over again. But the highlight of the day – was having hamburgers and homemade fries and having Pete come over to share it with us. Joey and Pete did their podcast down here this week and its always nice to have Joey home sooner!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

I took the family with me to my dinner exchange today and then we headed up to tour the Church History museum. It has changed a lot since I had last been there, but it was still fun to see all the interesting things they had. I especially enjoyed their Presidents of the Church exhibit with information about all the prophets. When we got home, we relaxed a bit before having dinner at Carrabas and playing at Nickel City. We played Laser Tag, which we all enjoyed so much – even Beth! And we played in the arcade for awhile before turning in our tickets for small prizes and headed home. We all had a great day!

Sunday, August 22, 2010

This spring, we kind of went on a hiatus from the Wii, but we brought it back this summer and the kids have had a really good time. We have kind of returned to our nightly ritual of a little family wii time before bed.

Life 365 | Week 23

Monday, May 31, 2010
Joey’s mom left very early this morning and we didn’t even get to say goodbye – but we were glad she made it safely to Wyoming. We spent this Memorial Day being very lazy. Joey and I played/worked on our computers and the kids played and watched movies. Joey did do some work outside and got our swamp cooler working and some pipe connections fixed.

Tuesday, June 1, 2010
We went and picked up some Soccer stuff for Beth today. We got a package deal for signing up for the Orem Soccer and got Beth some cleats, shin guards, soccer ball, and sackpack. Beth was so excited!

Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Beth’s first day of Soccer Camp was today. JJ stayed home with Joey since he didn’t have to go in early and Beth and I headed over to the field. Beth was so excited until we got to the field and suddenly she got so nervous and shy. Beth is normally so outgoing that I was so surprised that she had that reaction to all the kids and coaches. After some tears and sadness and hugs – I finally got her to go back on the field. She wanted to go back home – but I told her to stick it out and that it wouldn’t be very long. She ended up slowly kicking the ball at the other end of the field by herself. I wasn’t sure what to do – but then I saw one of the coaches go up to her and talk to her and she became the Bethie I know again and started playing and learning. It was an interesting experience for her, but hopefully now that she knows more of what to expect that next time will be better!

Thursday, June 3, 2010
There is just nothing like a tea party with your bears and your daddy! I love seeing Joey play with the kids!

Friday, June 4, 2010
It was so nice today. The kids played all day outside and they loved it. I love hearing them play outside my bedroom window as I do some design work. I love that they use their imaginations! At one point, Beth ran into the house and told me that I “just had to see something so beautiful.” I grabbed my camera and took some pictures of the beautiful roses that have bloomed in our yard! Beth was so excited to have a picture of her with the roses!

Saturday, June 5, 2010
Joey took JJ to his Tball game today. I wasn’t feeling so well, so I slept in for a little while. JJ still gets very distracted in the outfield, but hopefully we can work with him and get him to focus better. Joey said that he hit better today, so that’s good. In the afternoon, I took Beth to her friend Baylee’s Birthday Party at Little Gym. She had so much fun and when I came to pick her up, she cried because she didn’t want to leave. It was fun to find that Jodi Price worked there now – her family was in our ward when we lived in Salt Lake City so it was a fun surprise to see her again! Then after the party, Beth and I got haircuts! I got enough hair cut off to donate to Locks of Love so it is quite a change! Beth loves her haircut and I do too – it will be great to not have to deal with so much hair – especially over the summer!

Sunday, June 6, 2010
After church, we decided to do our Family Movie Night early, since we were going to have visitors later. We watched The Wizard of Oz and it was the first time for my kids. They really enjoyed it. Later for dinner, we had Chicken Noodle Casserole for dinner – which is yellow and cheesy and it was our “yellow brick road.” For dessert, we made a large rainbow cookie!

Lane and one of his friends came and stayed with us tonight. They are headed to Boys State tomorrow so it was fun to have them come for dinner and stay with us. The kids were so excited to have Lane here!

And here is my weekly layout:
I used my Sweet Summer Sun (Digitals July 2010 Challenge Kit) & Digital 365 to create this layout!

Project 365 | Week 10

Monday, March 2, 2009

We got out the kids travel cups today as I am starting to put things together for our trip. Just looking at things and starting to plan out what I want to do and what I want to take. The kids like to play with these cups because they can put it around their necks. Pretty goofy kids – but I’m glad they can find delight in the little things!

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

JJ’s school is having a read-a-thon this month. Each student who reads at least 500 minutes (or is read to) will receive a pass to a local water park and also a pass to a family fun center. I’ve been really slacking off lately with reading to my kids, so this is a great opportunity to get back on track. We decided to start with The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A Milne. This book was one of Joey’s treasures, until we had kids and now it is worn-out. I am going to have to purchase a new copy for Joey someday. But so far the kids are really enjoying being read to EVERY NIGHT!

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

We got some light snow, but of course it melted later in the day. Today was spent on the computer trying to finish up a new kit. I also had my wonderful Over the Hump Chat tonight. I really love meeting with the members of the Digitals community!

Thursday, March 5, 2009

I decided to get an impromtu hair cut today. I had a coupon to Fantastic Sam’s and suddenly felt like I’d like to have a haircut before our vacation. So off Beth and I went and I cut 7 inches off my hair. It feels really great! We also took a trip to Costco and got some snacks for our trip!

Friday, March 6, 2009

I finished my kit today and I think it turned out pretty well. I am definitely excited to be able to use this when I get back from California! The kids and I hung out while Joey did his Friday activities of racquetball and recording of his podcast.

Saturday, March 7, 2009

The kids and I took a day trip to Richfield today to watch my brother play in the State Tournament. Valley took 3rd and I was very happy for them – though I wished for them that they wouldn’t have lost yesterday – they definitely should have been the champions this year – darn it. But they played extremely well. I can’t believe my little brother is 16 years old – he’s gotten so tall! I’m very proud of him!

Sunday, March 8, 2009

When I was growing up – Sunday was always pudding night. My siblings and I would make hot Vanilla and cold Chocolate pudding and fight over who got what! LOL I made some chocolate pudding tonight and the kids LOVED it. I think I am going to carry on this tradition for Sunday nights. It’s a great memory of when I was growing up.

And here is my Week 10 Layout:

I used my Digital 365 Kits to create this layout.
