Life's Lessons

On Tuesday the boys and I were driving home from the library we pulled up behind an old VW Bus and stopped because the light was red, I wasn't really paying to much attention to the Bus and figured that they weren't turning right since there was a lot of traffic, when I looked forward I realized that there was this metal thing that looked to be a rear view mirror or something between me and the VW as I realized that it was metal and I would not want to drive over it for fear of damaging the car I put the car into park got out grabbed the hunk of metal and got back in the car and tossed it in the seat next to me, Jake asked what I was doing and I started giving him a lesson on "Littering" and that people should not through their garbage out in the street or leave it on the side of the road, that it was bad to do, while continuing on with the lesson the light turned green and the VW didn't move shortly there after a woman got out of the passenger side and waved us around and what point I went off on a little tirade about how people should use their hazard lights if they were broken down! So that people would know not to hold traffic up. By the time I was done on my "Soap Box" I looked over and realized that the contraption looked something like a reflector attached to the hunk of junk metal & at that moment as I am pulling in to the house I realized that I had gotten out of my car and stolen this ladies "hazard light" so to speak. I can't believe I am such a blond and of course I was way to embarrassed to try to go back to give it back so now I am confessing so that I can quit feeling quite so guilty.

Ok so I'm telling on myself here but I figured that you might all need a good laugh!
Here is to life's lessons and learning from them...

Latest Project

Ok so here it is. With two boys I don't get many excuses to do things like this but I saw this fabric and fell in love with it. So I decided to make a dress for my niece I think it turned out pretty cute and I had a good time doing it. Now we will see if I am up for doing 3 more so all the nieces can have one. (I know that is pretty lazy of me to only do one, I promise I will do something for the other 3 little gals as well)

Typing Test

I ran across this on another blog and thought that it was fun. Ok so now you can all see how exciting my life is that I think a speed typing test is fun. Anyhow here is how I did.

Not Quite Mother of the Year

So I am finally able to relax. (ok not really) I am going to blame this whole thing on my mom since I really need a scapegoat. She started this by making me a beautiful sequined, beaded & embroidered stocking. So when Scott and I got married I thought that he would need a fancy one too, so I got to work on his. It didn't seem to be a big deal. So then when I had Jacob I thought we had better get Jake a stocking done. (Yeah he was born in '04, and yes I just finished yesterday!) I started his for his 1st Christmas but with a new baby I just didn't get the time in to work on it, and it got put away after the holidays, so then the next year came around & I once again picked it up with every intention of finishing it oh and again I didn't finish it, last year my amazing sister Teresa did Matt's stocking for me (I think along with 2 for her family) and poor Jake's was only half done. So this year I was determined to get it finished so for a few weeks now I have done nothing but this stocking. I am so glad that it is finally finished, I told Scott that we can't have any more kids because I'm not doing any more stockings. Thanks a lot mom, next time pass me on something that maybe I can accomplish. :-)

Very Funny Web Video

Ok these are so funny. I everynow and then need a really good laugh. Both of these videos has done that well. I sure wish we saw more of this on TV and less of the crap they put on now days. Hope you all enjoy.

Lone Rock

I figured Jake needed a picture with the "Big Rock". It's pretty crazy to think how much of this rock used to be under water. We just hope that we will never be able to camp next to it.

Lake Powell

Just a couple of picutres from our camp at Lake Powell. It's to bad that it doesn't look like this all day long every day. But if it did I might never come home. We had so much fun, I still think it is funny when people ask me if I had a "relaxing" vacation. And I just tell them no I have 2 toddler boys. That takes the relaxing out but adds fun and entertainment.

Rainbows

I couldn't remember the last time I saw a rainbow, let alone a double. I just had to take a picture of it. Jake thought that it was pretty neat. He has started telling me how impressed he is by things. It is amazing to see the world through are kids eyes.

My Garden

Ok wel not to much of a garden but this year I thought I would try my hand at growing something. Flagstaff doesn't have much of a growing season so I was so excited to have my tomato plant actually have 3 tomaoto's on it.
