It was good while it lasted!

So, my online version of Twilight has come to a screeching halt.

I understand when the pressure to do what everyone else wants

becomes your motivation to do anything and just

how crappy that type of life becomes.

So, I understand why it happened.

But let me say this...

I will miss it!

(Now what shall I do with the time I should actually be using to do the dishes or read my scriptures?)

Only in East Texas!

I went to McDonald's last night with my kids and

this is the actual receipt that I recieved!

How often do you go to a place of business,

especially a chain this big,

and find scripture printed on the header?!

(Stuff like this happens all of the time here in East Texas!)

Edible Works of Art

Tonight for Family Home Evening (F.H.E.)

we decorated sugar cookie houses!

I made the cookies a few days ahead of time

and Zachary began counting down the days until he got to decorate his.

Zachy took his decorating responsibilites VERY seriously!

Noah was a little more thoughtful about how he went

about decorating his cookie house.

(He actually DID have a good time, he's just so into decorating

in this picture it just looks like he's bored)

Zachary, on the other hand, used as much

icing as he could.

Here is Noah's finished product.

Very nice!

And here is mine.

And this one is Zachary's.

Olivia didn't decorate one, she just enjoyed licking off all of the icing

that I put on for her.

Zachary, on the other hand, DID enjoy decorating his.

AND enjoyed eating it too!!!

(Yuck!... waaaayyyy too much sugar!)

He LOVED it!

A Night of Pizza and a Very Large Rodent!

Friday night found the kids, me and some of our friends,

at Chuck E. Cheese's.

We really like this place, the kids have great fun and I can

choose to sit back and relax or join in the fun!

Zachary got really daring and decided to go on stage

while Chuck E. was singing and hold his hand and dance!

It was very cute!

The Queen and King's Throne

Zachary made a "throne" for Olivia today.

He called for me and said,

"Mommy! Look! The Queen is on her throne!"

After he made the throne for her he decided that it would

be more fun if he were on it with her.
My goodness these two are sooo stinkin' cute!

And it's not too terribly often that they get along this

well. Usually Olivia is screaming when Zachary

invades her personal space.

I guess she enjoyed being

"Queen for a Day!"

Even if her throne is a laundry basket!

This year we bought a real tree!

It's the second real tree of our married lives.

I bought a fake one before we got married and we have been

using it. It's more economical but the boys sure love having a real one!

We decorated it while Steve was out of town and,

since I'm not well acquainted with the trimming of real trees,

Steve informed me when he got home that it looked like someone

had put decorations on a felt board.

There were no spaces for the ornaments to tuck into

so I guess it looks silly and unkepmt but I have to say

that that was the easiest light hanging and decorating I've

EVER done! Scraggly or not I may do it that way every year!

My Christmas Advent Calendar - Part 2

This is what the finished product looks like!

(Minus the star on the the top...

I forgot to put it on for the picture!)

I hadn't actually sewn the pockets on yet for this picture.

I'm doing that by hand right now and have only completed

six of them so far.

(If you would like to see close-ups of the pockets click here)

My Tree is so thick and the pockets are as well so I

figured that my sewing machine would break trying to

sew the pockets on that way.

Anyway, this is what it will look like once they are

sewn on so you get th idea!

Isn't it cool!

Updated Scentsy Inventory

Scentsy has guaranteed delivery by Christmas for all orders that are submitted by close of business on the 15th of December!!!

Happy Shopping & Merry Christmas!

My Christmas Advent Calendar - part 1

First of all...

Let me start by saying that dial-up SUCKS!!!

Now, I realize that it is absurd to point out the

obvious, but really! It took me

TWO DAYS

to upload these pictures!

Shew!

So, I hope you enjoy!

Let me explain to you what the purpose of these blocks are

(in case you didn't know).

When I went to Cali to visit Kristen, one of the many

activities she had planned for us was to make these

really great advent calendars.

The tree (which I will photograph after I've attached the pockets)

is about 50" tall and about 30" wide.

Each pocket (this is what the blocks will be once attached)

is 3" x 4".

This will be really cool to put little presents and treats

for each day of Christmas for the kids this year!

I'm very excited!

The idea for these came from Pottery Barn for Kids.

Some of the pockets are my version of their pockets and

some I came up with all myself.

(Just so you know... I will label each one accordingly.)

Holly Leaves - my design

Reindeer - clip art design from computer mixed w/my design

Ice Skate - a combo of traced cookie cutter w/ added blade and Pottery Barn

Penquin - Pottery Barn

Mittens - Pottery Barn

Presents - my design

Star - my design

Night window - mixture of Pottery Barn and my design

Stocking - Kristen's husband, Craig, drew this!

Circles - Pottery Barn

Present - Pottery Barn (change in ribbon)

Christmas light - my design

Gingerbread Man - Kristen's husband, Craig, drew this one too!

Christmas Tree - mixture of Pottery Barn and my design

Present - Pottery Barn w/change of ribbon

Candle - my design

Wreath - my design (fortune fell on me when I found I owned this ribbon!)

Present - Pottery Barn w/change of ribbon

Candy Cane - my design

Snowman - Pottery Barn with change of scarf

Circles - Pottery Barn

Wreath - my design (very simple, I know, but still pretty)

Smoking Chimney - My Design!!! (I'm very proud of this one!)

Poinsettia (or however you spell that!) - my design

Baby Jesus - My design

For the 25th day, Pottery Barn had a picture of Santa,

but I decided that I would rather have Jesus, so I made this one!

Just in case you were wondering, the fleck on the back of each

block is glitter (those of you who really know me know that this is essential!)

And each block is backed with stiff felt while the rest uses mostly

regular felt.

This was very time consuming,

but VERY FUN to do!

Thank you Kristen for coming up with the great idea!

Our "Baby #4"

Here is our most recent picture of the

current baby en utero.

I realize he/she pretty much looks like

every other ultrasound babies at this point.

Just thought you might like to see the progress!

The #1 Movie in America?

(If you haven't seen the movie and are still planning to,

you might want to wait to read my review until after.)

First of all...

I NEED you all to understand that I am a

HUGE FAN

of the Twilight Saga.

To date I have read the series twice

and LOVED it both times.

I am VERY sad to say that I

AM NOT

a huge fan of the Twilight movie.

My husband, Steve, and I and some of our friends

went to see it for the first (and last) time last night.

We laughed through most of it.

I thought this movie was supposed to be

a drama, not a comedy!

What was up with Jasper looking like Edward Scissorhands!

And when Edward Cullen saw Bella for the first time...

the way he smashed his hand to his nose was laughable!!!

There were sooo many dissapointing scenes.

Soooo many ridiculous scenes.

"Spidermonkey"???

All of the "super-intensity" got really old, really quickly.

(What was up with all of those "crazy eyes"?)

And what about Bella NEVER going near Edward, he

was always the one approaching her and then he says,

"We can't be friends" like she's stalking him and

she is the one who needs to quit?!

Then sooo many long and drawn out scenes.

Sadly, I was VERY dissapointed!

Here is a link to a website my friend, Kristen,

sent regarding the movie

and to quote her,
"the commentary is a little priceless."

I'm going to have to go back and

reread Twilight to clean my head up and

get all of my own images back now.

Zachary the "Lion" tamer

Zachary got his very own kitty a month or two ago.

When we got him, his name was "Sunshine"

however, after some minor manipulation,

our kitty's new name is "Lion" (Roar!)

Zachary loves animals!

Here he is with one of our neighbor dogs.

Zachary is the sweetest little boy!

Like Father, Like Daughter

Olivia has started watching TV

like this (not usually sitting on the container).

It's really cute to see her do it.

It gives her sooo much character!

I don't remember if Steve did this first or Olivia.

However it happened it's priceless!

Christmas Orders

For those of you who don't know...

I sell Scentsy.

It's a warmer that's lit with a lightbulb

rather than a flame and heats up

highly-scented Scentsy Wax.

I'm telling you because I've placed an "event"

on my website where you can go and place orders until the

evening of the 29th of November.

Just click here and it will take you straight

to my website.

Then just click on "place an order"

or "my events"

and you can order straight from there.

These warmers make excellent gifts for

the Christmas season.

And, if you are buying for someone who lives far away...

eliminate the hassle of going to the post office!

Order from me and your product can be mailed straight

to them!
