Today is Korby’s birthday and since writing your own birthday post is lame I thought that I would do it for her. We are so glad that you are a part of our family. We love you!

  The family Halloween Party was so much fun. Each family attending was in charge of one game for all of the kids and one “spooky” treat to share with everyone. This year I thought that it would be a fun idea to make the “entrance fee” be a canned good that will be donated to a [...]
 While in the store the other day I came across some “body butter” that was scented with pomegranate. My skin is very prone to eczema so I own all sorts of lotions, creams, body butters, body oils, etc… I know that the scent added to lotions can lessen the moisturizing effects, but I am more [...]
I mentioned earlier that our van broke down on my way to the diaper cover contest. Mark helped Gary tow the van back to our house and the next day Gary called me from work to tell me that a tow truck would be coming to the house to pick up the van.

 Saturday was a crazy day for me. I am more of a “one activity/event per day” kind of girl, but there were so many things going on this particular day and I was too selfish to give any of them up. This is how it was supposed to work out…

 Those of you coming to the family Halloween party, don’t forget…
Your game.
Your spooky treat.
AÂ bag, shirt, pillowcase, etc… per child for iron ons.
AÂ canned good per child to donate to get in the door. This is a great opportunity for your children to feel like they are making a difference for their community no matter how small. [...]
When I was little there were many words that were “forbidden” in our house. “Shut up” was one of the worst. It was so bad that it had it’s own phrase for ease of tattling, “Mom! Marky said be quiet the bad way!” I waited for any sibling to slip up and utter those words so [...]
 Gary is so amazing and does so much for our family. He can do everything. I on the other hand, let fear stand in my way. I am too terrified to reach my hand into the disposal to retrieve lost items. (It’s really slimy and I can’t see what disgusting thing I am touching.) Gary [...]
 After General Conference on Sunday, we had our Family Home Evening. We got out the Halloween decorations (which Joe will tell you I have a plethora of) and we decorated. The kids loved trying on the costumes that I have collected over the years. Basically this means that Joe has no idea how bad it has [...]
