Summer Plans

Well, I have just a few days of school left this semester. Then I will on summer break from school. I want to have an exciting summer so I would like to make some plans. I want to go on a walk each weekend. I would like to take Andrew to: Dinosaur Land, the Children's Museum, Cherry Hill, our community recreation center splash pad (several times), the Bountiful city parade and carnival, and maybe a trip to our family cabin.
For plans as far as James and me- I would like to go out on several dates. I would like to play tennis and attend an outdoor concert. I would like to have a picnic in the mountains.
Personally I would like to read two books. Also I have considered trying to volunteer somewhere one afternoon a week. We'll see I guess.
Happy Summer Planning!

Happy Easter!

I'm excited for Easter this year. We got Andrew a present I think he will like and I'm excited about Easter baskets. I got this cute picture from Martha Stewart. It made me smile. Happy Easter to one and all.

Shangri-la diet

I've been thinking a lot today about dieting. Earlier I thought I might try a liver cleanse. You know, it's really in right now to cleanse. But it sounds really unpleasant. So I was talking to my Mom and she said my Dad is doing the shangri-la diet. All you do is take a teaspoon of olive oil twice a day. My Dad has lost four pounds this week and he is a work retreat. He says he just doesn't feel hungry. I'm going to talk to him about it this weekend.

Baby shower for Chelle

On Saturday Anne and I are hosting a baby shower for Chelle and her new baby Aubrey. I 've already sent out the invitations. They were very cute. But today I have been thinking about plates and napkins and cups. I saw these on EZ party zone.com (terrible name) I hope there is something good at the Dollar Store or Walmart. Any way I just hope we can get something cute and cheap.

A very pleasant birthday

On March 18, I had a very pleasant birthday. We blew up balloons, had cake and presents! All week Andrew had been giving me clues about a surprise present. One clue was that it uses bird seed. I was excited to see what the present would be. It was a bird feeder! We have all enjoyed watching birds together out the living room window.
We also took a trip to the neighborhood park. The weather was wonderful. Then we played some games and got dinner at the Pizza Factory. All in all a very pleasant birthday.

Why I like Twilight

I know I fit the cliche stereotype, the Mormon housewife who really likes Twilight but that's the just way it is. I just like it. The books are casually written which makes it easy to read while keeping an eye on the kids. But, the real reason I like Twilight is because it is an escape. The Twilight world is quite similar to ours but it is enough different that it becomes a world that a lonely housewife can escape too for vampire adventure. And then when I come back to real life I see that my life is better than I thought. I have a husband who adores me and the best little boy in the whole world.

My Tulips

Last Night I was not feeling well. So James let me go to bed while he took Andrew to the store. They came back with pretty tulips for me and a white cupcake and a chocolate cupcake. I have such a good, kind, husband. He even put them in a vase for me and brought them to my bedside table. I love James.
