We have been studying different things during our family nights that we can do over a period of weeks like the Proclamation to the Family. Most recently it was honesty, we had seven weeks of learning about the different aspects of honesty. It has gone so well we decide to keep it going. So for the next thirteen weeks it will be the Articles of Faith. Last night was the first and as we were talking about the things we can learn from that Article:

"We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost."

We were talking about God and Jesus having a body. Then Taylor talked about the Holy Ghost and his roll and said that he doesn't have a body. Dale started snickering so we all looked at him and he said/asked, "you mean he is just a floating head?". We all had a good laugh, kids are so great.







P.S. Happy Birthday Taylor!!!!!

I'm Trendy!

Its true I am trendy, I never thought I would be able to say that about myself. I just read that purple is a "totally hot color" for home decorating. Remember my wall? Which by the way the color isn't so bright anymore, just like the Home Depot guy said it would take a couple weeks for its true color to show, it was a little scary for a while. Anyway I have never been one of the first to do something and I will admit I was just being stubborn because I really like purple so I lucked out! Which has taught me even as awkward as we all may feel sometime with our style, it will come around to you eventually.

74 degrees today

I told you this is the place with ever changing weather, you really can not predict what the weather will be like unless you predict that it will be unpredictable. It has been in or close to the 70's all week with today the high of 74, cool isn't it?!

Snow Day!!

The kids got the day off today because of the mass amount of snow received yesterday and through the night. So yes of course they had to play, play, play, snow clothes on and off four kids 3 times already, its a wonder I ever got out of my pj's.
I have to laugh though after being in New York this just seems a normal everyday amount (it equaled about a foot). Although in New York it would never melt which is why it is so much fun living here because with in just a couple of days it will be gone and it could be 70 degrees again.

Super Saturday

Supper Saturday's are so much fun! Isn't this cute, we also made necklaces and hair bows and of course Christmas decorations.



Taylor is off for another week in New Mexico he'll be back for Halloween and then on Sunday I think the kids and I will drive down for his last few days while they pack up the laser. We will enjoy Santa Fe and other places around Albuquerque, I love that area and my kids have never been so I am pretty excited, I hope it works out.

I guess its bed time, I get to do another Sunday with no hubby, oh joy! I never have him for the pre-church struggle, but he takes over through meetings, I will miss that.

paint color

The paint color looks much brighter then it is. It actually resembles the first picture with just one spot done then the others. I got a satin finish so it just picks up the light from my flash and I don't know how to turn my flash off. Taylor really doesn't like the color from the pictures. Hopefully he will like it when he gets back.

Paint with a touch of Pain

Taylor is out of town and I decided to paint, we have been in our house for almost two years and with the exception of a few pictures, emphasis on a few, some grimy hand prints and a couple wholes and a dent or two, the walls look about the same.. Boring! Well I had Taylor move the piano before he left so the final pictures will have to wait tell he gets home. These pictures with the flash make the color look brighter than it really is.


Anyway we have a plastic office mat that we keep under our piano so that the bench will slide easily and the carpet wont wear by the pedal. Well I had it in the center of the floor away from the wall with the prongs side up, and I can't tell you how many times I accidentally stepped on it with bare feet. But the last straw before I finally turned it over (I know the first time I should have done it) I was hurrying to get the phone and jumped off the ladder with enough forward motion I couldn't jump off to the side I had to take the two extra steps to get off it. Honestly it has been about 2 hours since that happened and my feet are still tingling. Yes I know I don't sound very bright oh well.
