I sure would like to take a class!

So my niece Savannah turned nine today and my sister asked me if I could help decorated the cake, because my sister just had her 4Th child and is in need of some good down time. My sister had decided on a lady bug, she said that I should show it off because it turned out petty darn cute. So here it is.

I have never taken a cake decorating class but I've been wanting too. I think it would be a lot of fun......Don't you?

Erinn's First Birthday.

Wow! Time sure does fly. On March 3rd was Erinn's First birthday we had a lot of fun with our families being there. I made her cake it was a lot of fun I plan on making all of my kids birthday cakes I think its makes it more special that way . Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.


The Birthday Girl.

I had to blow out the candles for her.

Wait.. what you mean I'm aloud to touch it?

I have stuff on my hands......

Get it off!!!!!

I Love My Life.

I sure love these two. They are so much fun. They make me so happy. I have the best husband, and the sweetest little girl in the whole world. Tony, Erinn, I Love you.

My New Years Resolution.

My resolution is that I will not be eating candy cookies or ice cream for the next year. I had my resolution decided back in November mainly because I was kind of discusted with myself. When ever I would eat these things I would gorge on them and its just awful I would tell myself that I need to calm down on eating these things but I craved it all the time and when I say all the time I mean ALL THE TIME. I finally got to the point that I was tired of craving these things and that it needed to stop. I figured out that it is a all or nothing thing when it comes to sweet. I would eat like 15 cookies a day if they were around, ice cream I would eat like 2 heaping bowls a day if it was around and if I didn't have it at my house I would eat my sisters ice cream! And candy..... if you know me candy is my love, I just love candy. So I decided that this needs to stop.

My goal with this is to hopefully make it so I don't look at these things and just want to pounce on it, lose weight, and feel better about myself. I had decided in November that on the first of the year is when I would start so that I could prepare myself mentally for this, because for me this is a HUGE thing. And you know what it has worked! When it came to the new year it was like a switch in my head. When I go to the store, I don't look and those things and sit there and wish that I could have it. It doesn't appeal to me. I'm way excited I know that its only been 15 days but you know what I haven't eaten any of the said things and........ I've lost 4 pounds!!!!! The other reason why I am so motivated to do this is because I shared with a friend on day my resolution back in December and this person proceeded to tell me that the reason why most new years resolutions fail is because they were unrealistic..... and then proceeded on telling me a better way to go about it. I know that this person meant well, but it felt like this person was telling me I was going to fail. And I didn't like that. So here I am. I am going to prove to myself that I can do it.

I have to admit I have had only one craving and it was today I wanted a Andes mint which is something I hardly ever eat. I know random! And I have been having dreams that I'm eating candy and then I realize in my dream what I am doing and I'm like NOOOOOOOOOO! And then I wake up and think wow that was weird. I know silly. Anywho. So that's my resolution. And I'm gonna do it darn it!

Grateful

This Is A Thank You To My Uncle Sam For "Fixing" Erinn's Face. When Erinn Was Born Her Jaw Was Very Mis-Placed. I Pointed It Out To The Doctors In The Hospital When She was Born And They Said That They Didn't See Anything Wrong. So I Took Her To My Chiropractor The Day After She Got Home From The Hospital. And The First Thing He Noticed Was........ Yep You Guessed Was Her Out Of Place Jaw. He Did The Best He Could For Her But Wasn't Trained Very Much In Cranial Adjustment So He Told Me That He Could Refer Erinn To A Chiropractor In The Bay Area Who Specializes In Cranial Adjustments, The Only Draw Back Was It Was $150.00 An Adjustment After Much Prayer And Discussion With My Parents About Possibly Helping Us Out With The Financial Part Of The Situation. My Dad Reminded Me That We Were Going To Be Having A Family Reunion And That His Brother (Uncle Sam) Would Be There. Uncle Sam Is A Very Very Very Gifted Chiropractor. I Thought About That Simple Revelation And Prayed About It And Decided To Wait Till The Family Reunion And See What Uncle Sam Could Do For Erinn. And If He Couldn't Then We Would Go To The Doctor In The Bay Area. Well Needless To Say Uncle Sam With His Wonderful Talent Given To Him From Our Father In Heaven Was Able "Fix" Erinn's Face. He Had To Un-Jam Her Temporal Bone, Zygomatic Bone, Pallet, And Occipital Bone. Even With Uncle Sam's Gentle Hands Sadly It Was a Slightly Painful Process For Erinn. My Dad Actually Had To Go Out Side Because He Had A Hard Time Hearing Her Heart Breaking Crying. But As Soon As The Last Adjustment Was Made Erinn Immediately Stopped Crying, Looked At Me With The Will You Please Pick Me Up Now Look. Of Course I Picked Her Up And Gave Her The Loves She Was So Dearly Needing. Her Adjustment Has Held And Now Her Face Is Finally Even. Fortunately We Were Able To Do This At An Age Were She Wont Remember The Traumatic Experience.

If You Look At The Picture I Have Posted You Will Notice Erinn's Right Side Of Her Face(the left side of her face looking at the picture) Slightly Drooped. It No Longer Does That Anymore. I'm So Happy For Her. Thank You Again Uncle Sam For Adjusting Erinn.

Happy Halloween!

We Had A Fun Halloween, We Hope You Did Too. We Went To Our Wards Trunk Or Treat, And Had A Blast. We Had A Chili And Corn Bread Dinner. After The Dinner They Lined Up All Of The Kids And Had Them Parade Around The Gymnasium. All Of The Kids Were So Cute. Then We Went Out Side And Had The Trunk Or Treat. I Was Lots Of Fun. Tony Had Fun Trying To See If Kids Would Give Him Their Candy, And When They Started To He Would Tell Them He Was Just Kidding. It Was A Very Fun Night. Here Are Some Pictures Of Our Costumes. Enjoy!

Erinn Was A Firefly, Tony Wore A Pesticide Treatment Out Fit From Work, And I Was A Bag Of Jelly Beans.

Looks Can Be Deceiving!!!

This Sweet Face Totally Faked Me Out Last Night. Erinn Is In The Crawl Away While I Change Her Diaper Phase. Well I Was Changing Her Diaper And She Started To Crawl Away, But Then She Stopped And Just Sat There Smiling All Sweet Like. I Thought Sweet! She Didn't Go Very Far This Time...........Until I Realized She Was Pooping All Over My Carpet. EWWWWW! Oh Well IT Happens!
