Christmas Eve

Tonight I'm watching It's a Wonderful Life, my favorite Christmas movie. What are you doing? Merry Christmas! GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE.

There's no place like like home...

Kansas tomorrow! So excited! Where are you traveling for the holidays?

Food for thought

A new week has started so it's time for...FOOD FOR THOUGHT SUNDAY! I know I had it on Saturday but I moved it to Sunday for weekly inspiration. This food for thought is brought to you by C.S. Lewis:

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Goodnight everyone! Happy Sunday!

Fun with photo booth

Caitlin and I took some pictures on photo booth. Here are the best ones:

Sickness invades

Caitlin got Strep Throat.  This is what she did all week. Poor thing.

Toy story and boots

Today "Santa" decided to go to the Disney store and get Caitlin this:

"Santa" didn't want to get it online because it was $10 more because of tax and shipping, so "Santa" drove into Salt Lake and went to the Disney Store. Well, they were out. Great. So a store employee told "Santa" that she could go to the cashier and order it AND get FREE SHIPPING! Saving $10, "Santa" bought it and now Caitlin has her big Santa presents for both houses. Now just the little fun stuff and some presents for her to open in Kansas. I had to go to Target today to get some things so I decided I needed some cute boots. I have nice dressy boots but I needed some boots for everyday wear. I bought these

Cute huh?! I can't wait to wear them.
Have a great Monday night!

GO JAZZ!!

Today was a good day. I decided to take Caitlin to the park before it snowed tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday. It was 41 degrees and the wind was really cold. She had a great time though.

Tonight we went to a Utah Jazz basketball game. Totally fun. Caitlin had a great time. The Jazz won. By A LOT!

Experiment gone wrong

Caitlin lives Christmas music. I have some on my iPod touch. Tonight she took it upstairs with her after dinner and we listened to it while getting her ready for bed. After stories and prayer I put her to bed and thought "I'll leave the music in here and she can listen to it while she goes to sleep." Bad idea. She didn't go to sleep and started screaming about 9:30. Trent got her out of bed (ugh) and brought her down. I made him put her back to bed after he left her with me to take care of while I was making jam that I don't think turned out. That is never happening again. The music or getting her out of bed. Experiment fail. Epic. FAIL.

Food for thought...

It's time for...FOOD FOR THOUGHT SATURDAY!!

This Saturday's food for thought is brought to you by Marjorie Pay Hinckley wife of President Gordon B Hinckley:


" I know it is hard for you young mothers to believe that almost before you can turn around the children will be gone and you will be alone with your husband. You had better be sure you are developing the kind of love and friendship that will be delightful and enduring. Let the children learn from your attitude that he is important. Encourage him. Be kind. It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner."

Have a good rest of the weekend! Weekend update coming soon!

Caitlin is smart

This is what I found after coming out of the bathroom. She's smart.

Take a deep breath, it's almost Friday!

Read the story below and let it make a difference in your life! Have a great night!

Tantrum accident and lesson learned (I hope)

Today while I was making dinner Caitlin got one of my caning jars out. She has been pretty stubborn today and this incident was no exception. I told her to put the jar away and she didn't do it so I told her again to put the jar away. Angry, she threw the jar. While sweeping it up I noticed some blood on the tile. I realized that she had cut her foot so I got some Hydrogen Peroxide and some Hello Kitty band aids and became "Dr. mom." Did Caitlin learn her lesson? I hope so. But, we shall see...

Children's Museum

Caitlin and I took a day out on the town and went to the children's museum. It was loads of fun. Here are some pics:

Caitlin loves pie

I gave Caitlin some Banana Cream Pie after lunch. She loved it.

Happy Monday! The Jayhawks play tonight! Rock Chalk!

Happy Sunday!

Caitlin hopes you had a great Sunday!
