Somethings about me

I thought this little game (tag) looked fun....

I am: A bit stressed out and very tired
I think: About things too much and over analyze
I Know: That Jesus lived and died for us all without a shadow of a doubt!
I want: My family to be healthy & happy
I have: 2 Awesome kids and one amazing husband
I wish: That we were going on a vacation!
I hate: Soured rags or wash cloths and that I have a bad temper & yell
I miss: My Mom & Sister and all of our family & holding my babies when they were babies!
I fear: Time passes by too quickly and I don't cherish the precious times with my family like I should and that I won't ever have another baby.
I feel: Very blessed to have the two babies I do have, a wonderful husband, and a great family!
I hear: The AC going as usual this time of year and my kids watching iCarly on Disney
I smell: My burning candle mmmmm
I crave: Chocolate and Dr. Pepper
I search: Blogs way too much
I wonder: What in the heck am I doing on the computer again wasting precious time! :o)
I regret: Not taking time for the little things that matter in life and not creating better reading habits for myself & kids and not finishing college. One day!
I love: My family so so much! I also love mexican food especially guacamole & just about anything deep fried!
I care: About everyone, just about everything sometimes to a fault and I also care about what other's think too often, but that's just the way I'm wired.
I always: Fix my hair and put my make up on before I leave the house I was raised that way!
I am not: Patient
I believe: What goes around comes around...so be kind to others...obviously I don't always practice it with those closest to me.
I dance: For fun and sometimes for exercise! I love it even if I'm not good at it!
I sing: All the time....I love to sing, love music and prefer to sing loud and proud but that's hard to do at church with hymns ha ha
I don't always: Read my scriptures like I should, do the dishes, exercise, leave on time, I could go on and on. :o)
I fight: With my kids & sometimes Will when I am stressed because I'm so easily upset (bad temper)....I wish I didn't take out my stress on them poor little kids
I write: A to do list almost daily...weird I know and have since like 5th grade!
I lose: My temper and wish I would hurry and find it and then keep it!
I win: Every time Will or the kids smile or at least I feel that way! I also win all the races I compete in...that would include taking off at every green light as fast as I can! ha :o)
I never: Go to bed or leave the house without hugging and kissing my family I can't say that I never go to bed mad though...hopefully
I listen: To a huge variety of music and love it! It can turn my frown upside down immediately! What a blessing music is to me
I can usually be found: On the computer either for work or for checking out blogs or driving
I am scared: Of all bugs, snakes, anything that is creepy crawly and of course of anyone that is close to me getting hurt, sick or even worse dead
I need: More patience & A serious vacation!!! :o)

Now it's your turn! These are actually therapeutic and help me know who I am and who I want to be. I can't wait to read yours! :o)

Trying not to cry...

Will left today at about 12:30pm for Scout Camp and all of us miss him already! Calvin began crying as soon as we dropped Will off and cute Kenna tried comforting him by telling him that it would only be 2 nights etc...but after he kept crying she decided that she too didn't like when Daddy is gone and had a very sad face and watery eyes. We get home and I had a ton of stuff to do for Will on some house deals....wouldn't you know that the Internet goes down...the fax machine starts acting up and the deadlines come and go. I tried everything to fix the computer...ended up calling & texting Will until just about an hour ago. I've felt like crying all afternoon myself...it's almost 7pm and I've not made dinner...don't feel like it....my dryer is beeping...my house is a wreck...I've not prepared FHE...I have a ton of projects I wanted to do before my Mom & Sister & Nieces get here Sunday (like painting, re-organizing the garage & closets etc). I know I should be counting my blessings instead of crying the blues. What a baby I am...just had a bad day and I don't look forward to tonight because I'm a wimp and hate sleeping without Will in the house. I know it could be way worse....thankfully I was finally able to tap into a neighbor's Internet with Will's wireless laptop. Tomorrow I'm off to work then as soon as I pick up the kids out doing a ton of bpo's in town, grocery shopping and finishing what I didn't finish today. Never ending busy cycle we call life right. :o)

Will's Animal Office

THE NEW COYOTE



So for those of you who don't know Will absolutely LOVES to hunt and this is the room he puts all of those trophies in! He has recently added a Rattle Snake and just yesterday got his Coyote back from the taxidermist.


So this picture shows his Mountain Lion, Coyote and a beautiful mountain scenery picture that my Great Great Grandma Webb painted.


This one shows the Rattle Snake, some Deer Antlers, the Huge Trophy Bear, the Bear's Skull and the Arrow that he used to kill that Bear.

He has a few other things like a turkey above the door and other hunting stuff and outdoor decorations. Calvin loves going in there and McKenna proclaims that she is going to be the best female hunter in the world! :o) He loves his office and I love that all of his animals are contained in it. :o) One day he hopes to have a mini Cabellas in our home...not with the merchandise but all of the mounts and stuffed animals and live fish tanks. He'll have to get a much bigger home to house all of that so until then I think we'll just visit Cabellas!

Backyard Summer Fun

Holy cow...I almost messed up my blog

Ok so I was trying to download a cute new blog background and ended up changing my template by mistake which removed all of my side bar stuff and gave me a heart attack! Needless to say I am archiving everyday now. :o) Thank goodness it is easier now to download a cute new background at least from www.thecutestblogontheblock.com and you just add a page element and then copy & paste it there without going into your template. Whew!!!

So don't be scared just follow her instructions and it will be fine and I realized that you really can't lose anything as long as you don't exit out of it. Take a deep breath and change your template back to what you had (mine was minima) and then everything re-appears like magic! :o)

FHE with the "old" Young Men's Presidency & Advisors

Marriage Tag

Our dear friends Michelle & Anthony tagged us.
