Monthly Menu's




Okay, So I seen these online and just had to buy! They are so cool! It only takes me 5 minutes to write my list and off I go to the store and have 1 or 2 weeks worth of recipes! I bought 4 months worth- so we can have a different recipe every night for 4 months! I made my own holder which saved me money so I bought 4 months worth of recipes for only 20.00 I think it was way worth the time and effort these cute girls went through and they have some really yummy stuff! It has made my kitchen time cut in half and I no longer say- what am I going to have for dinner! its already done for me! IF you want to go to their web site and look around its Pocket full of Posies- just type that in your google search and they will pop up! they have the best recipes for deserts too! just scroll down their home page! Ive written out tons and tons! I hate to cook- well thats not true! I love to cook but hate to make the mess and clean it up! so Id rather not! But this has helped me out tons! Im also going to start posting my favorite blogs- Make over- cooking- school- church! Ive found ton's that I atleast have to look at once in awhile!

14 years old Today!


14 years old WOW how times flys- My Little Demon is now growing up to be such a wonderful young woman! She just wants to hang out with a couple of friends today and go to the movies and to DQ- I might just tag a long especially because im the driver! Ashia has been such a joy! She really is such a good teenager- She is very smart! Very Driven! and will go places in her life! I just hope when she gets rich and famous she remembers her dear old mother! Especially the rich part! She loves to read, being in plays, school (now who loves that) and she is good at what ever she puts her mind to! Im very grateful that she decided in heaven to let me be her mom and that she got to be my very first Ginny-pig, while trying to learn this mom bit. She reminds me daily that in only one year she can get her learners permit and now can go to stake dances! Wow wasn't it just yesterday that I was at dances, and learning how to drive! We love you Miss Ashia, thanks for letting me have the privilege of being your MOM! i love you

HOLIDAY-WHOBIE-WHATIE

This is exactly how I feel this year! For some reason I don't have very much holiday spirit! Im excited don't get me wrong, but Im just oh so tired! Just thinking about how much there is to do- along with church callings, homework, the freezing weather, and everything else. I just wish there was a day just to stay in bed with nothing to do and no reason what so ever to even get out of my PJ"S. FOR A WEEK! I know I just probably need a good night sleep but even that seems to be gone these days! I still have to pick up ashia from her play tonight and it is 10:00 at night!

Our school has a thing called "HARVEST OF TALENTS" its kind of like reflections-
Addison won 2nd Place- SHORT STORY
Ashlyn won 3rd place- drawing-
but cried all night because for the last two years she has gotten first place. How do you teach them to be good sports and be grateful for what they have! Because her younger sister ANIKA did a drawing for 2nd grade and didnt receive anything.
All the while we had to listen to Ash who was devastated ! "KIDS THESE DAYS- SO DECENSITIZED(?) by movies and other things" (THE GRINCH)

WELL AT LEAST WE HAD FAMILY HOME EVENING TONIGHT!
the kids made the Christmas count down. Where you make a holiday figure- we did santa claus and then you get 24 pieces of chocolate (my FAV) and roll them up in clear wrap and tie a ribbon around each candy so it makes a long chain of candy and we hung it up . The kids cant wait for december 1st to come! BUT I SURE CAN!

Halloween Activity Days!

What a horrible Week- I was in charge of an DADDY /DAUGHTER DATE activity for about 60 people last thursday! If that wasnt enough I had to put on another party the day after for 21 kids at school! Sometimes I wish I just had the guts to JUST SAY NO! but I guess I need blessings in my life! and there they go out the window by me complaining! Here is a picture of the kids with their dad! What a good dad! Dressing up all elvis like! He was tired of wearing his costume! He wore it to three partys last week. So we definately got our moneys worth!

Here is some of the spooky food we did! We also had boney fingers (white chocolate covered pretzel sticks shaped like bones) Monster Mush (Sloppy Joes) Spider Legs (CHEETOES)
Witches Brew (Frozen red hands with plastic flies in them)
These turened out just like eyeballs/ half were green and the other half had blood-shot eyes!

here were the 60 cup cakes- DEATH BY CUPCAKES- they turned out cute! Just use nutterbutters with the rip on them and crush up some fudge cookies to look like a freshly dug grave!

Here were all my helpers! Im the witch- Dont you just love the Green Shirt Im wearing! It even had shoulder pads in it! It was one of my moms old, i mean very old Maternity shirts- Hilarious! that it was the perfect witch dress! Ill be honest, I am so glad that last week is finally over! and so are my kids!

Halloween Activity Days!

Here are some of the girls in the place we shot pictures with their Dads
