Oh So Long

So I know it has been way too long to post, but I will try to redeem myself. with a top five funniest things that have happened recently
5, Did you know there was an earthquake in Nevada/Utah/Idaho? Did you feel it? My husband did as he sat on the porcelin throne in our basement, Now for the funny part both my kids told their entire class. And now I blog about it sorry honey.
4. Last week on Valentines day I was in the lunchroom and my little buddy Thomas who is a first grade cutie, we talk a little every day, anyway he was telling me that his birthday was Feb 2? and I said wow did you know that my birthday is today? He said WOW I BET YOU GET EXTRA CANDY!!!!! Not extremely funny but soooo cute,
3. We went to a wedding in Idaho for one of my husband's best friend and the whole week before my husband was telling me stories about him and how funny and clumsy he is, and also that he dances a little like Elaine on Seinfeld, So they go to cut the cake and the bride goes to shove the cake in his face and he backs up and the pillars (don't worry styrofoam) fall and the bride is covered in greenery and twinkle lights and the groom is on the ground with a very sore bum.
2, My four year old was having a big tantrum the other day I don't remember why and I explained to him that he was acting like an animal not a good little boy. So after we have calmed down and he tells daddy and me that he is sorry, He then turns to me and asks "Mom was that a good human choice?" It is now a saying at our house, whatever works right?
1.So I am in the bathrooom the other day and if your like me, Your kids don't need unless your in the bathroom or on the phone. So my 4 yr old comes in to throw something away, and informs me Mom you have a big fat butt,......laughing here...... To which I reply Yes I know Porter but we don't say that because it hurts peoples feelings....
There you have it hope you smiled!! I am going to go call Weight Watchers now!!!

My Obsession


Okay anyone that knows me, knows I love books. I mean I love books and my husband would argue a little too much. Our book fair is next week at the school so I have been once again scouting out what I want to get, Now I'm sure you think I must read all the time, Not true I really have to be in the mood. But I love everything about books I love the feel of them the fact I can escape. I love the atmospere books create. So there you go tell me your obsession. Tell me the thing you always navigate to at the store. I also have other obsession but probably not as big.

Plastic organization containers

My labelmaker

Office supplies

And if I wasn't a mormon I would have a serious obsession with wine,

No i am not an alcoholic, I just love the smell of wineries the long rows of grapes blooming, it is a very basic way of life.

All right let it rip!!

Top Seven Sunday


I did'nt post my top five friday and now I am glad that I didn't so I can do a special top seven Sunday. Today we lost a truly amazing man to the home I believe he has been longing to be at for sometime. President Hinckley was so beloved and admired by those who knew him, both in the church and out. We will truly miss him, but I am so happy for him that he once again is with his beloved wife and many treasured friends and I am sure some new ones.

1. My most favorite thing about President Hinckley is his sense of humor.


2. His testimony was so solid yet never overbearing or mean spirited always Christ Like always


3. His fearless attitude toward the world, he was not afraid to take on the media and was always so respectful and amazing.


4. His humble attitude about life and those around him.


5. His love for his sweet wife.


6. His love for the Savior and his sweet testimony and the way his voice always quivered when he bore his testimony.


7. The love that my children have for him they will take with them their whole lives.


We will miss you and we truly

Thank thee O God for this Prophet

Top Five Friday

Okay once again I am late doing this but hopefully it will be worth it.
Here are five men in the celebrity industry that I think are just swell. Enjoy

I just have to say probably one of the yummiest alive and made better by the fact he can sing and dance.

This one has just happened for me since the pirate movies and mostly it is his attitude that I just love.


I have always loved this one from Han Solo to Indiana Jones to Jack Ryan love him


Also again this one didn't happen until Evita when he started singing but ever since AWESOME
This is Jason Statham and he is handsome Rob from the Italian Job and that Transporter dude but I haven't seen him in transporter. But if you get to see the Italian Job great movie and he is lovely.
All right ladies tell me who yours are!!

What's the F word?

Okay so I started working at my kids school less than a month ago and it has been going really well, but today tried me a little. My 8yr old has been throwing up and lunch today was two of my least favorite foods to clean up mashed potatoes and corn muffins so lunch already was on my last nerve. Then two sixth grade boys got in a semi fight of which I had to take them to the office cutting down on my very cramped and precious time of wiping tables. Then I finally get out of there only to be met by my fellow DUTIES!! as we are referred to, and the look on their faces let me know that I was about to hear a good story especially when they asked me if I was listening to the walkie talkie's so I knew it was going to be good. Little did I know!!!
They informed me that my son Brody, was caught on the playground saying the F word yes that is right. my sweet angelic son was dropping the F bomb on the playground. Now in all seriousness he really is sweet and this is that last kid I would expect this from. My 4 yr old however I expect him to be in trouble the first week of school.
Now here comes the funny part, he was told on by some kids and so the duty went to confront him on what he was saying, so she asked him if he was saying the F word and he proceeds to ask her "What's the F word?" and just so you know we are not allowed to tell the kids what the words are. Luckily there was another child there to spell it for him, to which he responded yes that is what I said, (he doesn't have my flare for lying@!) and then proceeds to tell them why he said it so at least he was using it in the right context. So needless to say we are going to have a little talk when he gets home!! Any advice let me know!!
