IS IT FALL YET?

It should be cooler than 114 degrees outside at 5pm on the first day in September!

I want it to be Fall ya'all!!!  :o)

I'm so in the mood for:

• Fall weather
• Fall colors
• Fall decorating
• Fall food 
• Fall activities outside 
• Fall exercise if I can get off my tail and do it 
• Fall sports (my kids flag football, volleyball and basketball)
• and last but not least Fall CRAFTING!!!  

The summer went by way too fast but with this heat and kids back in school Fall can't come soon enough.

Fall where are you?  Please come to Arizona soon...we'll be anxiously awaiting your cool welcomed arrival.

Clearance Sale on Bling purses and flip flops

I'm selling these purses and flip flops at my cost to get them out of my house.  I probably won't be ordering them again until next spring if I decide to order again....so first come first serve.  They are super cute and stylish but I'm too busy with real estate.  If I don't sell these I'll have to use them all which would be fine with me but not with my hubby.  :o)    

 For prices and details check out my facebook profile or go to my bling blog which is www.GotSomeBling.blogspot.com 

When I placed my order I didn't get choose all of the flip flops that they shipped to me.  fyi   :o)

Copa friends you are welcome to drop by my house and look at them in person if you'd like.

If you are interested in any of these items, please leave a comment with your email address and I will get back to you right away.  :o)  Thanks!

RS Lesson 8/14/11 Law of Chastity

It was my privileged to give the lesson in Relief Society on the Law of Chastity from the manual and needless to say it was a bit out of my personal comfort zone to discuss it in church.  I came up with a few visual aids and this was the hit of the hour....the "Temptation Hat".  I know I'm a nerd but everyone got a good laugh.  :o)

Quick update

McKenna wanted her hair cut before she started 8th grade so we went and saw Marley.  She took this Barbie doll in to show her how she wanted it cut.  :O)

McKenna finally got Daddy's approval to wear mascara on Sunday, Aug. 7th the day before school started...so this is her with her light mascara applied.  :o) 

 Sophia came out of nursery (this being her second time ever) with a scratch on her nose.  We are hoping she still wants to go back next week.  :o)

I love these cute girls!  I love their cute brother too but forgot to snap a picture of him before he changed into pj's after church.  :o)

Weird...a bit overwhelmed

So this is my second week of staying home and I feel totally weird and a bit overwhelmed.  I am a creature of habit and don't have a routine yet which is probably the biggest reason I feel this way.  Don't get me wrong I'm totally happy and excited to be home it's just taking me some time to get used to.

It probably doesn't help that I have a list of 63 big projects, am trying to start a new business and develop a website which is taking me way longer than I anticipated, Will started a new brokerage, I'm trying to help do real estate a couple of hours a day,  its 108 degrees outside so that puts a damper on outside things, Calvin & McKenna are bored and Sophia is into everything.  Little cutie pie.

I'm not trying to complain because this is my dream come true.  I guess I just thought I would be on top of things better and have this place whipped into shape already and have my business rolling.

My days fly by, where at work sometimes it seemed to go so slow and I would think of all of the things I could do if I were at home.  Now I'm home and it flies by and I think man I didn't get nearly what I wanted to get done today or what did I do today?  :o(

I hope I figure this out soon.  I'm trying to prioritize like I would at work and not make my list so long maybe that will help.  :o)  I want to enjoy my kids as much as possible before they go back to school August 8th so that's the first priority I need to find a balance and hope I do soon.  I do not like this feeling of being chaotic, out of control, messy, overwhelmed and simply weird.  Praying for help that's for sure!  

AZ Haboob July 5th, 2011

It looks like the end of the earth as we know it was happening from these scary but real pictures

This was a huge and scary storm aka Haboob that blew into Arizona this evening over 100 miles wide and 5000 feet high! Crazy huh! This picture is of our church building which is about a quarter mile away from our house.

McKenna, Calvin and I were in Walmart getting some groceries and got trapped in the store after going through the check out line for over 40 minutes. It was black outside, very windy and raining. Our ice cream melted in the cart, Will didn't respond to our texts or calls because he was trying to save our patio furniture and new shed...he managed to save our furniture but the shed blew over busting it and spilling all of it's contents sadly.

Wow Time Flies!!!!

I can't believe that I've not blogged since February! I've been so wrapped up in my own little world and the stresses of being a working Mom with little ones that although I love blogging it has had to take a back seat. I feel like I can't keep up with my life most of the time. I think we all do.

There's been so much happening lately and it has really made me reflect on what is important....

1. God the Eternal Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost
2. My Family especially my children
3. My Friends
4. My Community
5. Work

and in that order or so it should be. I sometimes get it all jacked up....it's so easy to do in these busy times and with technology. :o)

Life is so precious and everyday is a gift. Until it's threatened or taken away...I don't always remember it's value or appreciate it.

I so LOOOOOOOOOVE all of my family, all of Will's family which is also my family, my extended family, my friends, my ward, my co-workers and church leaders. I appreciate all those that protect our freedoms and make America safe...military, police, firefighters, etc. I appreciate all of the good people in our community, state and through out the world! Truly I do!

I know that God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son that who so ever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting life! I love that scripture and believe it with all of my heart!!!
