Chore cans

I stole this idea from my sister who made chore cans for her kids. She wrote out all the jobs on popsicle sticks and the kids choose which chores they are doing that day.
We already had a chore system in place but i made these so I could switch things up. My 6 year old is onto me and knows in the end.... he has to clean the house but fun things like this help the process. Thanks Carrie for the cute idea!

Valentine Treats

We got lots of Valentine treats from our neighbors.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU that thought of us.We love you guys~!

Somebody didn't want to be my Valentine :(

2011 Valentine's

OK, so I should have taken pics after I applied the suckers and candy they are holding. It doesn't really have the same effect but I thought I would post pics anyway.

Confessions:

Confessions #1- I can stay up until 6am without even a yawn. Every night I have to FORCE myself to GO TO BED! I loved working graveyard shift before I had kids.

Confession #2~ I am SOOO over hearing people from Hawaii talk about how different Utah is from Hawaii. REALLY? One is a dessert with a bunch of white people and the other is an island with a bunch of brown people. How did you not know things would be a little different?

Confession #3~ When I am stressed or am avoiding a deadline... I craft.

Confession #4~ All of my favorite songs have NOTHING to do with my life or any of my life experiences or goals. I think it is weird that I love songs that have nothing to do with me.

Confession #5~ I hate classical music. It gives me anxiety.

Confession #6~ Ever since I had kids I really don't like watching movies.

Confession # 7~ I rarely say morning prayers. It's the most important prayer of the day.... how in the world do I dare skip it? MUST FIX!

Confession #8~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE garbage day. There is just something about getting rid of the stuff you don't need. Does this make me a wasteful American?

Confession #9~ I wanna cry whenever Tommy or the boys talk about getting a dog. Why must I be a non-animal-lover????

Confession #10~ I am not sure why I finally jumped on the "Confession" bandwagon but did. This may be the first and last.

Does this make us red necks?

I guess if you have to ask, then you already have the answer. LOL

Ok, so maybe it's just O and i that are the red necks. Lills eats her raisins with a spoon... yep, she is pretty high class!

Town of Virgin...

Who knew, they had a park?

It was lots of fun and really just great to get out of our small town... even if it was to hang out in an even smaller town.

Aren't those supposed to be buried?

I think the park may have been effected by the major over flow from the Virgin River... What do you think?

The kids had fun but when the sun went down it was FREEZING!!!! So we packed up and headed home.

A bunch of Virgin Ostriches

You know, from the town of Virgin.
