Hope

This is a painting of the Saviour in a local church building that burned to the ground. Literally. It gives me hope and peace. It's a reminder to me that amongst the chaos and challenges of life, there is a Saviour who is there for us, if we will but follow him.

A classic

Love this photo. We all have one like this of ourselves. Poor baby :)

This is my sister-in-laws new shop, check it out. Such cute things.

Santa

This is the first year Ridge has been excited about Santa :) At our ward Christmas breakfast he was so excited he kept asking and asking when he was coming. Then he asked me "do I get to see mrs., mrs., mrs., ya know Santa's girlfriend". I rolled. This kid cracks me up. He told santa he wanted a potato head santa for Christmas. I hope he can deliver.

Reindeer

Last night i opened the front door to unplug Christmas lights and i was greeted by a large deer, only feet from me. We were both a little startled. They love eating our bushes, darn-it. Anyways, rather than running off, he (or she) locked eyes with me and stood quiet. It's a little scary to be so close to a deer. Then sweet little Ridge walked up and loudly said. "HI REINDEER". Of course the deer then ran off. Sacoya and I just burst out laughing. I don't know why it was so funny, but we got a chuckle out of it. :) Now he insists on seeing Santa with his Reindeer and sleigh. Not sure how to pull that one off.

halloween a little late

I'm a little late but hey. Here are my "scary kids" Gone are the days when we all have homemade matching costumes. I guess that's what happens when your kids grow older!!


Even my baby (who is really not a baby) picked his own costume. I really don't blame him. Even though he is suppose to be scary, he's still pretty dang cute :)

Cinnamon Rolls

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon rolls. But as I passed these at Costco yesterday, they caught my eye. I remember my sister-in-law mentioning their goodness. i couldn't resist. Well let me just say: DONT BUY THEM!!!! You'll hate their ooey gooey goodness. Their to die for cream cheese frosting. Their not doughy centers. And their caramel underside. You'll hate yourself for loving them so much, you might just eat the whole pan :)

Smart Car?

I was at Costco the other day and I saw one of these Smart cars. At first I was like wow that's crazy small. And then I thought why is it at costco, I mean what could they really fit in there? And then I noticed a car seat crammed in the front passenger side. I felt mad. I mean why would they put a baby or toddler in there? Could it be worth the risk?

Seriously? This is a smart car. Maybe in Europe where it's considered an average size car, but out on the rode next to this:



or this:
You wouldn't have a chance in a accident.

I really wonder some times in the name of the "Environment" if we go to far?

New Ride

My new ride. A birthday present from Willie. Super excited. Sad it's getting cold and I'll have to store it away soon. All I need now is cute basket in front. You know to hold important stuff. Like my drink form the gas station :)

I'm a lady....

The other night when I was putting Ridge to bed, he was reminding me I was a girl and he was a boy. (as he often points out) Then he said, Mom, you're a LADY......i smiled and said you are right! Love that child :)

A-give-away

I'm doing a give-way on my Jewelry site daisymedesigns in case you were interested :)

Happy Birthday Canyon

My boy is 10! I can hardly believe it. He really is such a handsome, smart, funny, and sarcastic BOY! We love him and are grateful he is ours.
