Quickity Quick...

I made a promise to myself last month that I would blog more. HUM.. Didn't happen and that makes me sad. I really had alot to blog about, but didn't find the time!

PTC: The girls and Korban all did really well on their report cards and all of their teachers had great things to say about them during PTC or SEP or o my goodness what could you possible have to tell me that I don't already know... SO, we decided to have an Ice Cream party for all of their successes. El and I took all the kids to Dans and they got to pick out all of their yummy favorites. While checking out the young man who was ringing us up asked what it was all for and I let him know it was for good grades. He nodded in approval and then asked when he could show up.. :)

SNOW: There was a flurry of excitement of the proposed "Blizzard of 2010" yikes! The weekend before we got about a foot of snow, so I was SO excited for the upcoming blizzard. The city shut down! Schools were closing! It was going to be a Thanksgiving Miracle. It really just turned out to be the biggest weather disappointment of the century! I am sure it had effects all over the state, but East Millcreek! But to my greatest enjoyment, on Sunday it started to snow and it didn't stop until Monday afternoon... 12 more inches later and we are well on our way of having the greatest snow ever!!!! I hope that the snow keeps on coming and that on Christmas morning we will all be able to enjoy the warm snow gear we will be getting...

December: I woke up this morning feeling anxious! I LOVE December! We have 4 of our own little families birthdays this month on top of about 300 others in both sides of our families...
But there is a sadness about it. Samantha will be an official TEEN! That breaks my heart abit. I look at her everyday and still see that little baby... El will be turning 35.. He told me yesterday that he feels that 35 is an OLD age. I have to agree. I never thought that I would like a 35 year old! HA... But I do like him. Emer will be 8 this month. She is so over the moon about being baptised. This is my baby girl... O how I wish she would just stay little..
As for me I will be 33 this month. What should I tell my almost 33 year old self? TO TAKE A CHILL PILL... 33 isn't that big of a deal! Embrace it! Love it! o and don't forget to go out of the 32's with a BANG!!!

Christmas: What can I say, I love Christmas! Who doesn't? (EL!) We have been decorating and I have been crafting. I have yet to post pics of my crafts, but before I divvy them up today I will take pics and hopefully post them before 2011!

Pondering...

Just a quick pondering thought...

When did my baby grow 5 feet 6 inches? I'm not talking about Helam. I'm talking about Samantha. All of a sudden she is growing and growing and growing.. I am 5 ft 6 and she is just barely taller than I am... yikes! I would like to just state for the record (while i'm having a tantrum) IT'S NOT FAIR!

NoWHATber...

HOW is it already November? It is crazy town to me how the days, months, years just fly by!

I remember being a kid and thinking THIS is the LONGEST day ever!!! Or this is the longest drive ever (when just traveling up to the Zoo). Does this happen to everyone?

In just a couple of weeks Thanksgiving will be here then shortly after that Christmas then shortly after that NEW BABY will be two years old!


I sometimes wonder how long the days feel to my kids. Are they wondering why the days are just dragging by? Or are then wondering why they are flying by? Who knows!

I really love this time of year! I have started to draw out some of the projects that I am going to be doing in the next couple of weeks and I am so excited about them. I have decided that I will do a bit of a craft section once they are all done... So if any of you who read this mess of a blog would like to send me some ideas of projects that would be fitting for the Holiday season that would be awesome...

Til next time here is a little quote "don't stop make it pop DJ blow my speakers up"

Besties...AKA Shmangum!

Today I woke up missing my best friend. Don't get me wrong, El is MY best friend, but my best girly friend is Heather Mangum...

We lived together in our Murraydale Ward. She moved away from there in July of 09 and needless to say, it is hard not having her around..

I guess it is because she lives so far away that makes it hard! I can't wait until I get to see her in December...

Seriously this is the only picture I have of the two of us.. That is kind of lame.. I'm in the green and she is in the stripes..

Rainy Days and Mondays

This rainy Monday Korban started kindergarten.

It was one of the worst days for me. I just knew something would go wrong and well it kind of did.

The week before school started Korban went and met with his teacher to do his testing. He wasn't a fan of it at all. He didn't want to use a pencil or write. He did count and use his sounds. I also let his teacher know that if he gets uncomfortable or worried then he will leave. She reassured me that he would be okay.

Well Monday at high noon (school gets out at 1205) came and I got the feeling that I needed to run to the school. So I ran out the door and went. I found Korban standing on the sidewalk in front of the school all by himself. I went to him and asked him what he was doing and he let me know that he was waiting for me to pick him up. I reminded him that he was taking the bus. I walked him over to his teacher to let her know that he was in front of the school and she was as shocked as I was. (I in NO way blame her! Korban just does his own thing) Needless to say, he took the bus home and I was a wreck the entire time. But, he made it home!

Today he did well. He rode the bus to and from school. He even decided to use a crayon to write the letter K!...
