I know I am completely lame. I have had a lot going on in my life and am going to school full time so this is going to take a back burner. I promise someday I will be better at this just not now.

ok, so tonight i was getting all the stuff ready to make the sweat and sour sauce to can and i was cutting the onions and peppers and put the stuff down the drain. well needless to say i plugged the pipe. i was trying to fix the problem before i had to tell brent what i had done. i got the pipes undone with a bucket underneath and the water just pored out. aagghh!!!!! i filled up 2 bowls and there was still stuff coming out the pipe so i had to plug it and go get a bucket from the garage meanwhile i am yelling for brent who comes down in a panic. i fixed it myself but there was water and crap everywhere. anyways just thought that would give you a good laugh!!!

Well, Ryan is the big 7. Happy Birthday buddy!!! At what point does the mom get to cry? Ryan actually shares a b-day with my brother Brogan. It is so much fun to have he and his wife close. We had a popcorn/movie/ pj party with Ry's friends and went out to eat at Red Robin. Then today we went and rode horses with my Brogan and Ashley.

I now remember what i loved the most about growing up!!!

My horse, who never back talked and most of the time did what I said!

Happy New Year!!!!

2009-01-02T23:16:00.006-07:00

Well I have to say I am definitely excited to get movin' on to 2009. Christmas was great. We spent time with Brent's Family in Cascade and then spent time with my family as well. Everyone from both sides was here so it was a blast. According to Ryan it was his best Christmas ever!!!!!! I even stayed close to my budget. New Years was great too. Brent and I stayed up till 3am playing rock band. I do not know how soon that will happen again. We were both tired but it was fun.

Well i had one heck of a day. I busted the back windshield on the suburban today. I was backing up just like I always do but the garage door did not open up all the way and caught on the back light of the suburban and busted the window. Luckily they were able to fix the window today. The garage door will only cost $500.00. gotta love it!!!

Sorry it has taken me forever to post. I tried tackling one to many projects and then a trip and i still do not have my all my projects complete.

One of the projects a friend of mine asked me if I could so bean bag chair covers. I was a little intimidated but welcomed the challenge. (Plus I got a new sewing machine out of the deal which I love!!!!!) Drum roll please:

Ryan got a bb gun so we went and shot clay pigeons. It was a blast and nobody shot there eye out!!!!!

WHO COULD RESIST THIS CUTE FACE!!!!:)

For some of you this may be a little R rated but it is cute. We have a swimmer on our hands.

2008-04-02T12:07:00.004-06:00

We went to the Discovery Center over spring break with some friends which was fun and then out to ice cream in Hyde Park(the North side of Boise). It was fun. Ry gave Luke his first pump!!!!!

Happy Easter!!

2008-04-01T15:43:00.007-06:00

We took the boys to Hagerman ID to fish and swim. It was a blast. It was too cold too fish but the swimming was great. Luke loved it. We even went to the alligator farms. Next time we want to feed them. Brent and I got to go to Denver for the NCAA tournament with our friends Jeff and Melissa Wadsworth. We left Ryan in Idaho with family and took Luke with us since he is still hooked to the milk lady. He was great. He has such a great laid back personality and everybody just loved him. The only time he cried is when everyone cheered or he was hunger. He was great on the plane too. While we were there i forgot my underwear so we had to go buy some new ones. On the way to get them we realized that Columbine was close by so we went and saw the memorial it was amazing and sad at the same time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre

The feeling was very peaceful there.
