some things I don't want to forget...



I'm not even embarrassed about it.
One package a month for the year- until they are back again.
These should be permanent!
I LOVe them & I don't even like regular oreos.

Hailey was in charge- Brian was up in Cody (with Laura... ooh la, la) visiting his Grandparents. We went out to dinner, shopping & to see this!
I LOVED IT!!!
It was fantastic, worth the trip (in icy cold treacherous weather) & YES we are going back with the kids. Afterwards we went to Costco to look for some thing they were out of at our Costco (we are just romantic like that) and guess what- the Orem Costco has GELATO!?
WHAT IN THE WORLD? We are getting ripped off at our Costco.
Ripped off I tell you!
It was YUm- O
Not the world's best Gelato--- but still really good!
I am making a formal request to the Costco people immediately.

"Christmas tree"
out of Lincoln logs & some other building toys.

The Christmas cookies I pooped out on.
Chloe finished them on her own & they turned out so darling!

the only thing I really wanted to do this week



I was in bed by 8:15 & pretty sure it took a micro second to fall to sleep!

conference saturday
I've been working on Chloe's twin quilts. They are more than half way done & I seriously love them already. I really think this is going to be the cutest quilt I have ever made by a long shot. I guess I really haven't made that many.... so that's not a hard one to beat.
I learned how HERE- oh how I love bloggers.
I wish I knew her address I would send her a thank you!
Seriously she has the best tutorials ever & I am going to be doing all- most of them!
Hailey- isn't she cute!? Taking notes for seminary.
Jack chillin' with my laptop.
It's been a great Saturday.

wednesday what's up

This week is "early out week"for the elementary & "late start" for the High school. Oh my. It's okay. I can do hard things :). Seriously, someone on the administration level WAS NOT THiNking!!
Trent in all his excitement has been home & will be home everyday at 1:30 instead of 3:30. Jack in all his sleepiness has been sleeping in, getting up just before trent leaves & heading out the door at 9:15. That means I have a severely shortened work day, if you know what I mean?
One thing you need to know about trent- he hates, HATES going to the store. He always has... even as a baby. So I have tried to get anything & everything done as far as errands go before he gets home. Today I just couldn't get it all done so lucky for us Trent's sweet buddy lily came along to ease the errand tension. she really did the trick. Isn't she a cutie?!
When Lily went to piano- trent & I went to cub scouts.
Tonight we had yummy hawaiin meatballs for dinner, watched American Idol, worked on our taxes (brett did that) found out we have paid a lot of tax this year....
then look what arrived at my door!
JANAE THE baking wonder brought these amazing mini chocolate cupcakes!
For the first time in my whole life I cannot eat something because it truly is too cute & I don't want to ruin it. Chloe has just told me I am so lucky to have friends that are always bringing me something... (sky brought me a german chocolate cookie yesterday) She says she wants to be "cool" like me & my friends & do nice things for her friends-- but she can't--- she doesn't have any money & the money she does have she is saving for college. It's rough being a kid.
(she's already "cool", she made cupcakes on sunday & is ALWAYS making nice things for her friends... she just wants a cupcake & I won't let anyone have one)
Today I did 5 loads of laundry, changed the bedding on trent's bed, made pancakes for breakfast, scrubbed 1/2 of the painted floor, ironed 8 shirts, cleaned one toilet, wiped down three mirrors, fed two dogs twice, ate lunch with my sweetheart, talked to my college roomate marji on the phone, read & did homework with a now "9 1/2" year old, picked up an RX (pure torture 40 minute wait), taught 6 cubscouts about our community, made dinner, ran to the dollar store for cub scout supplies, did the dishes, I'm sure I'm forgetting something-- I don't know about you- but I am TIREd.
*how was your wed.?

I'm sick about it!

NO MORE PINK & WHITE CIRCUS COOKIES?
these are seriously one of my very favorite things of all time.
they've been closing since October & I am just finding out about it??
HOW CAN THIS BE?
See what happens when you try not to eat so much junk food? (I should've known that was a bad idea- )now the stores are probably all out.
I am devastated.
did anyone else know about this?
why wasn't something done?
so sad
