Does this look familiar to anyone else?

So today....I need some validation. Seriously, is this normal?


If you can't tell, this is an example of our scripture study! Will someone remind me AGAIN, WHY we have scripture study. Do you think children can hear when they are asleep?


PS don't comment if your family's scripture study looks a little more like the front cover of the Ensign. It'll just make me depressed! :)

Family Pictures

Well, here is my family pictures for 2009. My mom is our photographer and she is amazing. You should see the pictures before she gets ahold of them.

The sun will come out tomorrow...

We want to go to Hawaii!!

Ode to my sister "S"!

The days were growing long and I needed a break
But alas my five kids someone would need to take.
Along came my sister who was willing to try,
A long four day week with 8 kids and sigh.
She is 8 months pregnant to give her all the say,
I wondered if she'd make it clear up to the day!
Thankfully, for all of us she made it through
And my kids enjoyed her fun loving company too.
She was sent straight from Heaven, and A agrees
we had such a great time so we're down on our knees
Thank you S and T you've done it again!
Being a lifesaver, sister and friend!

Okay, I am not a poet but seriously we had such a good time and just the break I needed to reflect and refocus. S watched all the kids and I knew they were in good hands so I didn't even worry. We went to Newport Beach for one of A's conferences. (Probably the last for a long time, since there will be no money for the company to afford it:))
