Update your Swimsuit by adding a Rosetta Brooch. Why not wear it in your hair at the pool? Each Rosette is approx. 3" accross and made of nylon so it is made to get wet!

April Fools!

I have to apologize for taking off that cute pic of myself that my husband so nicely posted of me. Let's just say my lip swelled up on our cruise I guess from being in the sun too much and then my forehead swelled up and drained into the bridge of my nose and I may have looked like the chic on Avator for a day or two. Then he had a little fun with photo shop besides...

He's a little bitter because I sold his $2000 fish tank for $100 last night at 1am and his anxioius customers would not stop calling and waking him up!

This has been the funnest day ever. I can't even wipe the smile off my face. I also put my mom's brand new Kirby Vacuum up for sale for $50 and her phone has been ringing off the hook! She blamed it on my brother all day until I finally came clean.

Then we decided to make a wanted ad/looking to buy a time share condo for my father in law who is actually trying to sell his condo/time share. No news on how that one's going yet.

Anyway, if I get put in jail for fraudulent ads, this may be my final post for awhile. But I sure did get a kick out of myself!

That Face!

Spring Glorious Spring!

New Blog

My Sisters and I have been working on a new blog together to organize Craft Ideas and good finds. Here it is if you want to check it out.

Halloween

The Aries 1-X test rocket sits on launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida October 25, 2009.

This is the Program Trevor has been working so hard on. Good Luck with the launch tonight!

Go BOO someone!

Our family has had so much fun BOOing our neighbors. I found THIS GREAT WEBSITE where you can print off the poem and sign for them to hang on their door after. We even got BOOed the next night from the people we BOOed. My kids love it! Now go BOO someone!

Super Saturday Enrichment Ideas

I have been crazy the past couple of weeks trying to come up with ideas for our Super Saturday. This is what I've come up with. I would love to hear your honest opinion and comments! For the Snowmen Kits, we are collecting Baby Formula Scoops for the pipes. If you have any you want to donate, let me know! Sorry, these items are only available to the lucky girls in my ward. (Or unlucky depending on if they like them or not) But if you want any info as to where to get some of the items, leave me a comment and I will try to get back to you.




A lot of people have asked so here are the Printable Muffin #s. This is the Link where I got the idea.
I printed the #s on cardstock and used a big circle punch to punch them out. There's a video and then instructions on the link. Basically you cut out twenty four 2 1/4" squares out of cardstock and then use a corner rounder. They did circles and squares, I simplified to just squares. Then you glue the # circle on top and add a couple strips of adhesive magnet on the back. (Comes in the roll at Walmart). Then you can embellish as much or little as you want. We found the muffin tins at Walmart for 4.99.

Muffin Tin Numbers



Here is the Personalized Menu Form. Print this off and add the personalization. Then put it inside a 8.5x11 plexi glass magnetic frame at Walmart. They are $3 in the frame section. Add a dry erase marker with some sticky velcro and some ribbon. It is helpful to put a glue dot on the frame bottom edge to hold the paper inside tight.

Mr. Mobile

Here is McKade's latest. He is now "mobile". I don't know what you could call his weird scooting while dragging a leg bent behind him move, but I do know he is everywhere now...

Fabulous Riley

This pic is so Riley. This is where I found her today after getting ready for school. She had her backpack on (3 hours early), sitting outside on her sidewalk chalked driveway masterpiece in a lawn chair, with her umbrella eating a sucker. What a great time for a photo shoot! I didn't have to do anything!

Riley's First Day

Riley's first day went great. She loved the bus, loved her class, loved the teacher etc. It was a lot harder for me than I thought it would be. I can't believe she is so big!

Personalized Money

Check out this fake money you can create at www.festisite.com/money. It's so easy!

These are now what my kids earn as their rewards for doing chores and being good. Then they can come to the Reward Store for their pick of a reward and pay the price. Like a half an hour of playing the XBOX is $1. Having a friend over is $2.

They get one dollar each time they earn 5 magnets. Luke has 5 truck magnets and Riley has 5 car magnets. The magnets live on the fridge and get to be put on a little magnetic board anytime they are good and get put back on the fridge for bad behavior. You get the point. I am definitely not the expert on well behaved kids, but I do know this money is super cute and I have been able to run errands with almost no problems with all 3 kids in tow now. You can work it however you want, but when your kids see their picture on a dollar bill that they get to spend, you can't go wrong.

Preschool Activity Bags

Just had to post these fast... I made them with a group a few months ago. We searched and searched for these pencil cases to put them in. Some people paid $2 a piece for them. Well right now in Walmart's Back to School section they are only 25 cents! A great deal! Go get 'em!

So Preschool Activity Bags or Kits are an ongoing idea where you put together a few easy educational kits together for your kids. They only get to have them at certain times like church, at home when you are playing with them or when you are going to pull your hair out and need something for them to do. Anyway there are tons of ideas online if you google preschool activity kits or bags. Here is one to get you started. They are addicting and so fun. Dollar stores are a great place to get your supplies and or ideas. My kids LOVE these!

Also, so fun to make in groups. We met together and had one person make the same kit for everybody else and then trade a few days later. We ended up with great stuff for cheap!

And, if you aren't interested in the Preschool Kits... just think of the small piece toys you could organize with these 25 cent bags or anything else you could organize. Seriously I think they are the greatest and I am trying to think of more things to do with them while they are there because after school starts they will be so expensive and hard to find. Maybe I am weird but I love finds like these!

Not much Sleeping Going on

How could I get mad when I walked into the boys room and saw this when they were supposed to be asleep? (in their own beds!) They were laughing so hard.

Fam Reunion

My sister, Kelli and her husband threw the funnest Family Reunion last weekend. The highlight was the carnival with cotton candy, snowcones, doughnuts, games and face painting. The kids are still on a sugar high! Even through the rain, we had a blast!

Bear Lake 10K

I did it! I ran my first race with a little persuasion from Trevor, my sister, Julie, my Mother in law, and my friend, Tricia. We all ran it together last Saturday in Bear Lake. It was a chilly rainy day, but perfect weather for running. I pushed myself to keep up with Julie and Tricia and was 5th out of my age group. Trevor was 10th overall. I had a great time and might even do another one someday.
