Our First Family Home Evening!

We had our first Family Home Evening last night. We figure it is time to start teaching Jamie about prayer and songs and the scripture stories. We read out of the childrens Book of Mormon Stories. She sat in my lap for about five seconds. :) She took the book to Dad to read and then to Aunt Lori Ann then she wanted to read the stories herself. This is Jamie's interpretation of the first story in the Book of Mormon!

Birthday Party!

Jamie's cousin Sarah had her one year birthday party. It was so much fun! Jamie loved the pinata! She did not want to let the bat go! It was awesome!

Does this bring back memories mom? She loved this popper. It reminded me of the pictures we have of me and the same toy!

Cindy Lu Who?

So Jamie has finally started letting me do her hair. Doesn't she look just like a whoo from Whoville? The little mark under her eye is the remnants of a battle wound from her cousin given on a ride to casper! :)

Excitement in Lovell!

Well let me tell you moving is rocking awesome! In a clearly sarcastic way! :) So Jamie has actually been quite a good girl. She helps wipe off shelves, put things on shelves, wash the floor, and put the laundry in the basket. She is growing up so fast! The previous residents of this house had a kitty. That kitty smelled bad and we are dealing with it! Under our stairs was the worst. We shampood and put a layer of baking soda and baby powder down. It took the smell right out. Good tip use baking soda on urine it soaks it up and the smell! Thanks Beth Elaine for that tip. Anyway under our stairs is now the best smelling part of the house. Looks like we will be going through a lot of baking soda and baby powder!

We have had some excitement tonight . We had a fire in our back yard! Our neighbor in the last unit had their shed burn down! We thought we were going to have to evacuate. We didn't but the poor guys shed is completely gone! :( Then right after that David saw a mouse run across our kitchen!! As I type I just saw him scamper across the living room! YIKES I want him to leave now! Having a cat at this moment wouldn't be such a bad thing :)

Here are a few pics of the fire.

Spoiled Rotten!

So this weekend Jamie was spoiled rotten by her aunts. If they don't slow down with the presents there will not be anything left to give her for Christmas! :) One aunt bought her a beautiful dress, and three pairs of shoes! Along with that she also recieved a princess phone and princess keys. When we got home her other Aunt presented her with a princess chair. We have been looking for one for a long time. Jamie loves chairs and now she has one her own size! She loves it so much she had to mark it as hers by peeing on it! I let her run around with out a diaper last night after bath for a few minutes. Her bum has a rash and needed some air. So I was going to get the diaper and I come back in and she is straddling the chair leaking all over the tags and the corner! What a silly mommy for letting her run around with out a diaper! :)

Good Days!

Thanks Sarah for this idea! I am going to combine yesterday and today because they have both been good days!
Yesterday

• We found a place to live in Lovell! It is cute and has lots of space. It is also clean.
• The Wyoming Cowboys played a great game against New Mexico. I am so glad I watched it from the comfort of my couch! :)

Today

• We had wonderful church meetings!
• Jamie took over a two hour nap!!!!! So I got to sleep for an hour and a half! YAY for sleep!

Traveling with Children

Well yesterday Jamie and I went to my nieces wedding in Casper. We traveled up there on Thursday. We met up with my Sister-in-law and her daughter in Worland and traveled the rest of the way together! The drive between Shoshoni and Casper is the longest drive in THE WORLD! We kept saying "where is Casper? Shouldn't we be there by now?" We had a perfect plan that our children would sleep at grandma's when we got to Casper while Beth Elaine took bridal pics of our niece. Thirty miles out of Casper our girls fell asleep! When we got there SURPRISE they were now awake with no desire to go back to sleep! Good tip for all of you moms and soon to be moms. When you make a plan expect that it will change and then learn how to go with the flow! :)

GOOD DAY!

Three things that have made today great:

-I just made peanut butter bars for the first time and I ate so much of the ingredients I'm not hungry for dinner.

-I don't have an exam or quiz or paper or presentation on monday for the first time this semester.

-I showered!

Now I wanna hear three great things from your day!
