Chores

Look how ridiculous this is! I was just doing the laundry as usual and I stepped away for a sec and came back and noticed how freakin' huge this pile is!!! And this doesn't even give it justice! All these clothes are clean and just waiting to folded and put away.
Nick loves laying in the warm clothes. Wait, what is he doing with a binky???
Ah, all done after an hour and a half! Now they just need to be put away! Each room has their own basket. (top left: mine and Ty's, Nick's, Boy's, bottom left: towels, and then Cody's.)It is very nice to get somewhat organized!
I love this machine! Ty got me this Hoover Floor Cleaner for Christmas last year to clean our tile. I hated getting down on my hands and knees to clean the floor. It took forever! But this baby whips it out in less then 30 mins! It sprays water and then your push back and it sucks it up and dries the floor! The water is sooo gross afterwards. It is so nice to get this chore done so fast. I use it all the time because with boys shoes always getting muddy, the floor never seems to stay clean!

First Snow Fall

The boys were out playing in the snow and I thought it would be fun to get Nick out there. He has never been out in it before. I got dressed in my snow gear and got Nick ready. He didn't know what was going on. As soon as we got him in everything, he walked around and started crying. I took him outside and he started crying. I put him in the snow and he cried. I threw a snow ball at him and he cried. I put snow in his hand and he cried. You get the idea. He did not like it at all. I had fun throwing snowballs at the boys and helped build a little fort. I then took Nick inside to calm him down. The bad thing now is everytime we put his coat on, he starts crying because he thinks he's going out in the snow again!

Ty is a Wierdo!

We woke up this morning and immediatly felt depressed. It snowed. We were not happy. Ty, being the spontenious wierdo he is, ran out in his shorts, wife beater, and no shoes and rolled around in it. I just laughed. He then threw a snowball at us (from across the yard) who were at the door and hit Shawn right in the forehead. Good Aim! It left a red mark and everything! We all laughed. It was a good time.

It's Over

I just got back from Super Saturday. It went okay. A lot of people just had no idea what was going on, but come on, how hard is glueing??! I am VERY VERY glad it is over.

Little Mower

Nick loves to ride the lawn mower with his Daddy!

Happy Birthday to Ty!

Ty had his birthday last Wednesday, the 8th. He is officially old! (27)! He always makes fun of how old I am even though I'm only 7 months older then he is. So it's great that we're the same age now! Ty wanted to feel like a kid still and asked for a Batman cake. It made him happy! We went to Golden Corral with my family and had cake after. Ty got Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Butterfingers, and Cupcakes from us. Hopefully he'll share!

Reverence Book

I was asked to be in charge of a "Reverence Book" for my Relief Societys Super Saturday. One of the counselors came to my house and gave me the idea (it's a book with pics of Christ's life that kids can look at during the Sacremnet so they are reverent and think about Jesus) and asked me to put something together. I did it that night just real quick and she came to look at it the next day and she loved it. I had just thrown it together and I didn't really think it was THAT good. But a lot of people came up to me at our Ward walk about the next day saying how cute it is and what a good job I did. Whatever! I'm really not that creative nor am I good at a finished product. Anywho, about 40 books have been ordered so I've been going crazy cutting paper, printing photos, gathering supplies, everything. It's kinda funny because the RS already knew I was pretty stressed out and busy but they wanted me to do this anyway. It's been okay. We'll see how it goes when I teach how to do it next Saturday!
