So we try and have a girl's night out at least once a month this is our second time going to a place called Yogurt Land where it's self serve. Choose from several different yummy flavors and they are always adding new ones. Then second you can add tons of different toppings any thing from fruit, candy bars too cereal. Third you put your tasty creation on a scale and they only charge you 36 cents an ounce, plus as a bonus they give you not just any spoon to eat your ice cream with however one that can be reused for your kids to use. After we are done eating ice cream we head over to Red Robin to munch on some of there tasty foods. We had a blast this night as we do every time we go out together. I thought that these pictures Dadi's sister Jessi snapped where great moments of the night.

Happy 4th of July

We had a great relaxing 4th of July weekend. Had a pool party at my parents house and BBQ food, swam ,played, and had a great time with great friends. I have always wanted to make one of these cakes so I finally decided to make one this year and it was YUMMY! It is a strawberry poke hole cake with some Patriotic toppings. I hope you and your family had a great 4th of July weekend.

A Twihard Night To Remember!

Kristina & I taking a snap in between a movie

Just (some) of the crazy Twihard fans

Cadi, Natalie, and I in line getting wrist banned right before we got let into the theatre.

What can I say other than it was every Twihard fans dream. There was 7 of us total that did the Twilight Saga Trilogy and oh boy did we have fun! So we were not sure if we could bring outside food in or not so I called Harkins that afternoon to find out the details about that, and at the end of the conversation the girl on the phone asked me what time I was getting there and I replied with like 5ish. She responded with will just FYI there has been people here in line since 8am this morning. I was able to make arrangements and have one of my Best friends come and watch my kids for me so I could get in line earlier. So I got there at 3:30 and it was nuts, no joke they had already filled up an int ire theatre with people and had 2 more for the Trilogy for (the people who could not camp out for their seats since 8am that morning LOL:) The first movie Twilight started at 7 and the 3rd ended with the premiere of Eclipse at midnight. We ate all sorts of yummy food like Krispy Cream doughnuts, and tons of are favorite treats, and Cadi brought her Ipad touch and we had a ton of fun with that too playing Scrabble in between the movies. It was 2:15 by the time the 3rd movie ended and it took me 40 minutes to get out of the parking lot do to some retarded drives, all in all I had a blast it was a night to remember!

So Blessed

So I have been really pondering over the past events that have came too pass around 6 days ago, and have really come to the conclusion of feeling just so blessed through it all. A lot of you are probably wondering what in world am I talking about. Well last Friday are Elantra just came to a dead stop at a red light off the Thuderbird Exit and the 101. No warnings or anything that it was going to just STOP. If that isn't bad enough I had both the girls with me, and forgot to bring my cell phone with me, which is SO not like me. Long story short a really nice guy let me use his phone to makes some calls for my rescuing. Within 20 minutes or so Seth came and just shortly my Step Mom Gail, and Ashley arrived and got the girls. So they took the girls so they could cool off and be safe with family while seth and I were going to go figure out what was going on with the car. Seth all of the sudden remembered that he had just filled up the coolant in the car on Sunday night and forgot to put the radiator cap back on, and........well sure enough he was right, it was missing so know we had an idea of why? it stopped but had no CLUE the damage that had been done to the car. So he and I drive to Checker to go get a new radiator cap, fill it up with some coolant put the new cap on and.......................nothing. So we got it towed to the dealership, and wait to hear what the damage is. The engine is totalled for it being exposed to the liquids and not having the cap on. Needless to say it was going to be a WHOLE lot of $$$$$ to get the engine replaced. So we really pondered and prayed about what to do, and felt good about just getting another vechile, with the thoughts of are family expanding it just felt like the right thing to do. So on Sunday morning I go to start the Corolla which is my first car, and it does not start! So I go inside to tell Seth and we just both start laughing at it. Some times it rains and some times it pores. Not to thrilled about being down to a 1 car family, even though we both knew it was only a matter of time when the Corolla was going to give out. With all of that said we are now the owners of a Chrysler Town & Country Touring 09' Van and we LOVE it! We took are first ride as a family yesterday and it and the girls just loved it! So throughout all of this I have gained a closer relationship with my Father i heaven and have felt such peace, and comfort from him. If any thing this trail has done nothing but draw us closer together as a family :) and looking forward to the rest of life's journeys Seth and I have together.

Order in the HOUSE! ~Please

Some times I feel as soon as I get my house in order the very next week it falls apart. Forget about going anywhere or doing anything one the weekends because whenever I do that my laundry NEVER gets done. Then I start it on Monday and it stays in the baskets clean and unfolded for dayys. I can not stand folding and putting laundry away for some reason. I did not always use to be like this ya know-I use to just do it and get done with all in one day. I blame it on the laundry room being down stairs, and the bedrooms being upstairs! Yes that is my answer to my problem, the battle of having to climb up the stairs into the bedrooms to put the laundry away where it belongs, not unfolded downstairs in the laundry room! And lately I have had no desire to do dishes since the dishwasher in the hose broke 2 months after we moved in. However we bought a new dishwasher and it has been un-installed for a couple of months now.-Uh very frustrating to know that the help to my never ending dishes is just a few feet away in the garage! I knew that there would be a struggle in keeping both the up and down stairs clean would be a challenge living in a two story house growing up. And boy was I right not more than for just two days have they both been clean. So if you have any suggestions or words of advice let me know :)

~Thanks for listening to me vent
