style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">General Antium was a tall man, with graying hair and a look of total confidence. He was currently in the war room with his right hand man Secroti, who was a short man who was terribly skinny. The general had finally found out how to break the enemy’s best defense. This defense was the great wall of Brator that went around the entire empire of the Crigati, enemy of the Frigor to witch Antium belonged.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">General Antium was preparing to make the final blow upon the empire he was at war with. He had finally found a weakness in their great wall. “I found the one weak spot where the stones are wearing away. 100 barrels of that explosive stuff you made should create a hole big enough for our entire army walk into their front door, or at least the front door we made.” </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“You know Antium, I made a name for the “explosive stuff”. It’s called malaver and I would appreciate it if used the name I named it.” Secroti said irritably.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“Well then let me rephrase my last sentence then. 100 barrels of that <i style="">malaver</i> stuff. Satisfied now?” said Antium.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Everything was in position for the attack. The malaver was set up all along the wall in the dead of night. All Antium had to do was give the word and the great wall of Brator that had withstood numerous sieges would fall in one glorious minute. “General, we are in position and await your command.” a corporal said. “Well then corporal, let’s light this candle.” said Antium.<span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">General Blood knuckle of the Crigati was a burly man. He towered above all of his men and there was a general feeling of fear everywhere he went. This was partially because of his size, but the main reason was because of what he did to earn his name. He earned his name by killing a dragon with his bare hands.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Blood knuckles looked over the wall of Brator and laughed. “You’re going to have to do better than that Antium. Come back with about 300 siege engines and you might make a dent in the wall.” called Blood knuckles. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“I don’t need siege engines anymore, I got this.” said Antium. He then filled a pouch full of malaver and threw it into the air. An archer with an arrow that was on fire shot the bag and it exploded. The smug smile on the general’s face disappeared.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“If you look closely you can see that substance on the wall directly where you are standing. If I were you I would get very far away from where you are standing.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IDIOTS!” screamed blood knuckles. Antium was surprised by this remark by blood knuckles. No matter how surprised he was he had to complete his mission had just given the signal to light the malaver. Antium was sure his enemy was finished, but then blood knuckles jumped off the 300 foot wall. Then he caught fire and erupted in a great ball of fire that was headed for the backup supply of malaver. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“RUN! THE MALAVER IS GOING TO IGNITE!” bellowed Antium. Most of his men were fortunate enough to get to cover, but the slower men were not. As the fire ball hit the ground a deafening explosion occurs. As Antium looks up he sees the burning church as a giant shadowy figure steps out of the flames, cloaked by smoke. “What are you? Show yourself!” demands Antium.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">The smoke is blow away by the wind, revealing a giant black dragon, whose black eyes gave off an eerie black glow. “I am Nihilus, the most powerful dragon ever to walk this earth, full of puny men.” said Nihilus. “Nihilus was the name of the dragon blood knuckles slayed” said Antium. “That is what I wanted you to think. Blood knuckles is still alive but only just. He thought he could slay me. I have imprisoned him in an unbreakable cage, in the center of a burning planet frozen in a second of time so that he may burn forever for his insolence.” said Nihilus</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“You assumed his shape and took over the empire. Why?” asked Antium. “I wanted to rule this planet. If I were to do this in my real form, the damage inflicted upon the planet would kill it. I want to rule it not destroy it. In this for I can accomplish this.” explained Nihilus. “I cannot allow you to do this. Surrender or die.” commanded the general.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">“I pick the third option, DIIIIEEEEE!!!” growled Nihilus. “I figured you might say that so….”Antium said. After he was done talking he hurled a bag full of malaver into the dragon’s throat precisely as the flames were coming out of its stomach. This action cased the dragon to internally explode in a big fiery explosion. Nihilus, the feared dragon was dead.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;" align="center"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 22pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">EPILOGE</span></b></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal;">Shortly after the battle Antium sent out a flag of peace. The Crigati accepted his sign of peace. The spent the rest of the week negotiating the terms of peace. Antium had finally seen it was not the Crigati that he was posing war with, but Nihilus and his corrupt empire. After he <span style="">realized</span> this, he saw no need to make war with the once peaceful Crigati. After the treaty was made and signed, there was much rejoicing and celebrating. The day that Nihilus was slain, marked the day that 2 nations came together. In honor of this, a holiday was made for this glad day. There was 6,000 years of uninterrupted peace among the 2 nations, until history took its course once more and war was made.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"></span></h3> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 22pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></p>Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984984258251401496noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616974119042082826.post-17621277843034682532011-01-09T19:53:00.003-05:002011-11-14T09:35:07.470-05:00Merry Madagascar, From JimWell, I survived the day! And it wasn't too bad. Of course, now tomorrow's gonna be HORRIBLE because I said that, right? hehe. Knock on wood, real fast!<br /><br />Last night, I tried to watch a movie, but wasn't really into it. At 10pm, I took a sleeping pill, and fell asleep on the couch watching the movie. And went to bed at 11pm. I slept on Captain Americas side of the bed, and only woke up a few times confused - hehe. I woke up with my alarm at 7:30am, and checked on the kids.<br /><br />Jake and Tom were up and showered, and Jake was getting ready to take the dog on a walk. Eme and Joe and Jim were awake, and I sent Eme to the shower. The little boys were eating Breakfast.<br /><br />And I decided that I didn't wanna shower. My make up was passable from yesterday, and my hair too. And I was afraid to shower, for fear I would cry. Because historically, the shower is where I cry. It washes away all the tears, and doesn't leave your face red - hehe. Sad that I know that, right? LOL!<br /><br />Anyway, I pulled my hair back, and decided to leave on my glasses. And picked out a long black skirt, and a long sleeve white/black shirt. And my fuzzy black boot/slippers. Yeah, I was being a rebel today. If I had to go to church without my husband and best friend, I was gonna be compfy! LOL!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs118.snc4/36267_1783048101421_1396034156_1885406_4082900_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs118.snc4/36267_1783048101421_1396034156_1885406_4082900_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs785.ash1/167565_1783048141422_1396034156_1885407_5699002_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs785.ash1/167565_1783048141422_1396034156_1885407_5699002_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And when I came out of my room from getting ready, there was screaming and fighting. Sigh. Jake had somehow gotten Tom in the closet, and propped a chair up to keep him in there. Really? Nice, you guys... So Jake got grounded from the TV for a while today. Poor Tom. He wasn't feeling well anyway, and locking him in he closet didn't help.<br /><br />We all got ready, and I even had a few extra minutes to work on a Singing Time. They Primary President asked me to sub for 2 months while the real Singing Time lady recovers from having a baby.<br /><br />I had bought big foamy dice at the dollar tree a while back, and decided to have a game with it. I took a poster board, and drew a line down the middle. One side said "Songs" and one side said "Actions". And I numbered each side from 1-6. And then had a list of songs, and a list of actions. Songs were for the Orange dice, and Actions were for the green dice.<br /><br />So, I knew that if they were to roll the orange dice and get a 3, and the green dice and get a 2, we'd sing "Follow the Prophet" while standing up. That kind of thing. Eme and Tom helped me with the poster.<br /><br />And then we headed out to church. And got there 10 minutes early, and our spot was TAKEN! It was Ward Conference, so there were a TON of extra people there today. Sigh. Oh well. We sat in the back, and the kids actually did pretty good.<br /><br />Kids went off to classes after Sacrament, and I headed to Primary. The game went pretty good, too. Junior Primary didn't have a lot of time, but Senior Primary got to play for quite a while. And I think they all liked it :)<br /><br />After church, we headed back home. Everyone was in a good mood, and there was no bickering. Wow, it was a miracle. I had Eme and Joe clean out the car, and waited for them to come inside the house, so I could make sure they shut the doors (hehe.)<br /><br />I made sure everyone changed their clothes, and hung them up, too. Wearing Sunday clothes for 3 1/2 hours does NOT get them dirty, you know :) And then I made food for kids, and my own food, and changed clothes. And Captain America, you'd be happy to know, I even hung them up - LOL! Sure, the bed never got made, but I hung up my clothes! The bed is on my "to do" list...<br /><br />The kids and I watched a movie, and Jake took the dog for a walk, and then hung out in the dining room. He was very apologetic for his actions, and Tom even thought that he should get to come and watch, but I didn't relent. He should have thought about that this morning. So after the movie, I let him have privileges back.<br /><br />My in-laws called at some point during the movie, and I chatted with them for about 45 minutes. It was a very nice chat, and made me feel good to know that they were checking on me and the kids.<br /><br />Eme and I crocheted during the movie, and I eventually got on Facebook and emails for a while. And, while I'm on that subject, THANK YOU so much to everyone for your well wishes and prayers. I know that's why I'm getting through today! You guys are awesome :)<br /><br />Yeah, I made that head thingy Eme is wearing. It looks better on my head, because my head is bigger. LOL!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs049.snc6/167990_1783426110871_1396034156_1886246_8069810_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs049.snc6/167990_1783426110871_1396034156_1886246_8069810_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And this is Bob the Ball. He was "born" today. ROFL! The kids had a lot of fun making and playing with him. Yeah, it's the cheapest toys that get the most play time, I'm saying...<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1373.snc4/164576_1783479232199_1396034156_1886365_7816385_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1373.snc4/164576_1783479232199_1396034156_1886365_7816385_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We watched an episode of Star Trek (where Spock has to fight Kirk in a duel to the death), and then had some quiet time. I really wanted a nap, but it didn't happen. Maybe that's for the best...<br /><br />My mom called a little later, and we chatted for about 30 minutes. See, everyone loves me today - ha! We talked about phones and summer plans, and thanksgiving/christmas plans. It was a nice chat :)<br /><br />Do you like the Madagascar movies? Well, my kids do. And over Christmas, Jim decided that he LOVED the Santa Claus is coming to Madagascar song, by King Julian. Yeah, it's HILARIOUS!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SfHWs0SAJaI?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SfHWs0SAJaI?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And even FUNNIER when Jim sings it!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><object width="400" height="266"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/1783499112696"><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/1783499112696" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="266"></embed></object><br /><br />And then, I asked the kids if they wanted to sing another song, and they wanted to do the "Give Said the Little Stream" song with motions.

I slept in until around 8am, but was wishing for longer. I'd gone to bed at almost 1am. But it was enough. I came out and hung with the kids for a while.<br /><br />Then we turned off electronics, and cleaned for a while. Everyone had to get their chores done and their rooms cleaned before they could earn back electronics privileges. Jake and Tom went to do their rooms, and Eme and Joe and Jim did their chores. Then Eme and Joe went to do their rooms, and eventually Jim did his room. Jake got done first.<br /><br />I organized the sheet/towel closet, and the upstairs closet, and the above the washing machine/dryer shelf. And the game closet. Yeah, it was a lot of organizing. Not too bad :)<br /><br />I should have spent a little time doing my laundry, but I didn't. ha! I did do 2 or 3 kid loads of laundry, though...<br /><br />In the middle of cleaning, I got a phone call from Captain America! It's been the first real conversation we've been able to have since he went to the field. We've texted briefly, but that's about all. We chatted for about 50 minutes, and it was SO nice. I sure do miss that boy...<br /><br />I got the kids lunch, and we watched some TV together. Then I took a VERY short nap, but my brain wouldn't turn off. So I eventually got up, and put on my workout clothes, and went for a jog. But yeah, I wasn't really feeling it. I did one lap around the neighborhood, plus a little bit more, but didn't jog the whole time. It was a total of 20 minutes workout, maybe 10 minutes of jogging. Maybe. hehe. I didn't wanna push it too much, though.<br /><br />Kids were all finished with their chores, and played on electronics for a while, and at around 3pm, I put a lasagna casserole in the crock pot. I'd never cooked it that way, and I was hoping that it would turn out.<br /><br />1 LARGE jar of spaghetti sauce<br />2 LARGE containers of cottage cheese<br />1/4 cup parmesean cheese<br />1 defrosted package of spinach<br />1 box whole wheat noodles<br />Garlic powder<br />Onion Powder<br />Italian Seasonings<br /><br />Mix all together in bowl, add 1/2 cup water, pour into crock pot, shred cheese on top, cook on high for 2-3 hours.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1141.snc4/148328_1670988099991_1396034156_1679273_7880682_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1141.snc4/148328_1670988099991_1396034156_1679273_7880682_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I showered and got ready for the rest of the day, and it felt SO good. Showers really are good, you know. hehe.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs991.snc4/76400_1671105662930_1396034156_1679632_6930161_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs991.snc4/76400_1671105662930_1396034156_1679632_6930161_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Around 5pm, we started to get everyone else ready too. Shoes and socks and pants and such. Because I didn't want my kids going to the Ward Talent Show tonight looking like Jimmy does here. ROFL!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs889.snc4/72266_1671133103616_1396034156_1679670_6657766_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs889.snc4/72266_1671133103616_1396034156_1679670_6657766_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And soon we were ready to go. And yes, you CAN cook lasagna casserole in a crock pot. It turned out fabulous :)<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs909.snc4/72289_1671180584803_1396034156_1679772_4397185_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs909.snc4/72289_1671180584803_1396034156_1679772_4397185_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /> </a><br />Pics of the fam RIGHT before walking out the door.

AND, since there's a Howdy's on the same street as the church, I felt I deserved a 64 oz Diet Dr Pepper. ROFL!

We dropped off our crock pot, and found seats. The little boys played ring around the rosie in the center of the gym with the little kids, and the big kids sat with me at our table. There were a TON of people there.<br /><br />Tom and Eme and Joe got in line, and Jake and Jim and I guarded our places. Me "guarding" my soda...<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs994.snc4/76707_1671246826459_1396034156_1679864_6169061_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs994.snc4/76707_1671246826459_1396034156_1679864_6169061_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>After Tom got to the VERY front of the line, Jake and Jim and I jumped in with him. I know, I know, line cutters. hehe. I grabbed some pulled pork and a piece of pumpkin pie. I'd eaten dinner already at home, but purposefully didn't have dessert JUST so I could have it at the party.<br /><br />We were supposed to bring crock pot dinners, rolls/bread, and pies. There was a TON of food, but a TON of people too. I don't think there was any food left at the end...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, here's Tom with his food<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1136.snc4/149808_1671247146467_1396034156_1679865_3814854_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1136.snc4/149808_1671247146467_1396034156_1679865_3814854_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Eme and her food<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs970.snc4/76357_1671251466575_1396034156_1679867_3207162_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs970.snc4/76357_1671251466575_1396034156_1679867_3207162_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jim and his food<br /></div><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1181.snc4/150362_1671247386473_1396034156_1679866_2801340_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1181.snc4/150362_1671247386473_1396034156_1679866_2801340_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jake and his food. Yeah, he wasn't so happy with having to come out and socialize.... grrrr... I know it's important for him to be out and about and around people. But it's not the easiest thing to do sometimes. Because he fights it, and purposefully does things to annoy me, hoping that I'll send him "away" from people.<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs921.snc4/73461_1671251906586_1396034156_1679868_3964909_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs921.snc4/73461_1671251906586_1396034156_1679868_3964909_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And me and my pie. Pie that I passed up cupcakes AND my cookies for today. I actually had a cookie in my hand, and put it back, deciding to eat the pumpkin pie later today instead. Because I will only eat 1 dessert a day. Self imposed rule.<br /><br />And yeah, I LOVE pumpkin pie. But I learned something toinght. I LOVE homemade pumpkin pie. And these were definitely not. These were frozen cooked pies. I'm not crazy about those. The first one I tried was watery. Whaaaat? Pie is NOT supposed to be watery. I had one bite, and gave the rest away. Because I wasn't gonna waste the dessert on something I didn't like.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs978.snc4/77193_1671253746632_1396034156_1679879_4167497_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs978.snc4/77193_1671253746632_1396034156_1679879_4167497_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The line for food was HUGE.

We put on some Muse and the whole car (minus Jake) was signing and using "microphones" and having a good time. Jake was just pretending that we weren't there. ha!<br /><br />We got home, had family scripture study, family prayer, and Jake and Tom each took a little kid and put them to bed. Eme went to bed, and I grabbed my old laptop, and started blogging. And the boys and I watched a movie. It was pretty fun. But not terribly effective for me. ha! I only got a little bit of the movie, and it took me twice as long to do my blog. But it was together time with the boys, so it was all good.<br /><br />I texted back and forth with my neighborhood friend, Terra, too. Her hubby is into Civil War like Captain America. We're going to her twins' bday party next weekend, and I'm excited to hang with her! She's a pretty fun girl :)<br /><br />Here it is, almost 11pm. After the boys go to sleep, I'm planning on watching an episode of Glee and then going to bed too. Church doesn't start until 1230, AND it's "fall back" with Daylight Savings time. So we get an extra hour! Sa-weet! I'm just glad that my cell phone does it automatically for me. I'm terrible with things like that. hehe.Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984984258251401496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616974119042082826.post-76817516952947340962010-10-15T00:38:00.003-04:002011-11-14T09:35:36.744-05:00Happy Birthday, Emeline!What a good day it was! I woke up at 6:35am with my alarm, and reset it for 6:55am. Yeah, I was still sleepy. hehe. I woke up then, read scriptures, said prayers, and headed out to help the kids get ready. I got them fed, dressed, ready, and out the door at 7:30am, then went back to bed until 8:30am. I know, I know, I'm making a bad habit of that. hehe.<br /><br />Oh yeah, but wait!

Shower, hair, everything. I was going out with Leslie and wanted to look pretty :) I wore my new black sweater from Savers.<br /><br />I got Jimmy and Jake all ready for the day, and organized, and such, and Leslie came to pick me up, and we headed to Pro Ranch Market. It's this Hispanic Grocery store and more. It's across town, and I had never been there. And it was SO cool. The front looked pretty much like a grocery store, but the meat department was HUGE.<br /><br />Check out this AWESOME fish display<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs395.ash2/67326_1632723063389_1396034156_1602273_4487954_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs395.ash2/67326_1632723063389_1396034156_1602273_4487954_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And then there was a MASSIVE fresh fruit area, and little food shops, and ALL sorts of stuff. Bakery, and restaurant, candies, and deli. It was SO cool :)<br /><br />Check out the size of these pork rinds. MASSIVE! Bigger than my head!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs406.ash2/68395_1632770104565_1396034156_1602309_4707913_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs406.ash2/68395_1632770104565_1396034156_1602309_4707913_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Look how festive it is!

OMGosh, food AND fun! hehe. AND a Melrose. And one of those clothes store like I found with Maddie. Yeah, I don't remember which store this was in, but check out these SPANDEX pants. They LOOK like Levis. OMGosh!<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs828.snc4/68837_1632795465199_1396034156_1602312_7057847_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs828.snc4/68837_1632795465199_1396034156_1602312_7057847_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And I know these are supposed to be "hot" right now, but yeah, I'm not crazy about this style...

Melons and pineapple and grapes. It was pretty good :) Here's me holding the fruit cup.<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs056.ash2/36159_1632817985762_1396034156_1602328_1460247_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs056.ash2/36159_1632817985762_1396034156_1602328_1460247_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And me and my DDP!<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs818.snc4/69853_1632915668204_1396034156_1602460_5482929_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs818.snc4/69853_1632915668204_1396034156_1602460_5482929_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And Leslie and I, heading back home. But, first a stop at Savers!!! She'd never been, and I can't pass up a chance to go. Especially on One color tag 1/2 of day :) hehe. It was green tag day :)<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs792.snc4/67263_1632913628153_1396034156_1602457_3170541_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs792.snc4/67263_1632913628153_1396034156_1602457_3170541_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I found a new pair of jeans, and a few tops and jackets, Leslie found a Hawaiian shirt for her hubby (they're moving to Hawaii - Lucky!), and off we went. She dropped me off at home, and I had lunch with Jake.<br /><br />And he and I loaded up in the car to go to Dollar Tree. To get a few things for Eme's birthday. We weren't gonna do an official party until Captain America got back from the field, but we were still gonna do something.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs886.snc4/71921_1632989110040_1396034156_1602526_3880754_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs886.snc4/71921_1632989110040_1396034156_1602526_3880754_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We found a few party decorations, and a balloon, and a cake topper, and a few other things.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs820.snc4/68051_1633222835883_1396034156_1602900_4800798_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs820.snc4/68051_1633222835883_1396034156_1602900_4800798_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And we swung by the commissary to get some strawberries and cool whip and cream cheese and ice cream. Only the essentials, you know. And some frozen dinners for dinner. I never buy those, and I figured it would be fun for the kids on Eme's bday to have them :)<br /><br />After the commissary, we stopped by the bus stop and picked up Jimmy.<br /><br />And I baked the cake. Strawberry cake in 2 round cake pans. And I cleaned up a little bit, and started on my weekly designing. I was mostly done, just had to repackage some stuff. And the cakes were done, and I totally burned myself while taking it out. Sigh. Freaking hot cake pan...<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs906.snc4/71941_1633376719730_1396034156_1603154_4617326_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs906.snc4/71941_1633376719730_1396034156_1603154_4617326_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So because it was Thursday, it was my day to pick up kids from AQ. So I took the Saturn and drove on up and got Tom and Eme and Bella. Here's me, driving to get the kids. TOTALLY forgot I still had on my apron. hehe.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs803.snc4/68347_1633224355921_1396034156_1602902_1717530_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs803.snc4/68347_1633224355921_1396034156_1602902_1717530_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So we came back home, and the kids all did their chores. And the house looked pretty good when they were done. When Leslie's family brought us a desk the other day, Jake took his old desk downstairs. So I put it in place of one of the tables in the dining room where the computers are, and took that table and put it in the laundry room. So now we have a clothes folding table. I hope it works out :) hehe. Better than just putting the clothes on the couch. ROFL!<br /><br />Anyway, after the cake was cool, I assembled it. I took a package of cream cheese, a carton of cool whip, and a 1/2 jar of strawberry jam, and whipped it. OMHeavens, it looked good. And I spread almost all of it inbetween the 2 layers of cake.<br /><br />Then frosted it with a can of strawberry frosting. And put sliced strawberries on it. And put the cool decorations from the Dollar Tree on it. Doesn't it look pretty?<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs906.snc4/71986_1633371119590_1396034156_1603150_4466625_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs906.snc4/71986_1633371119590_1396034156_1603150_4466625_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And here's Eme with her cake.<br /></div><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs442.ash2/71527_1633370719580_1396034156_1603149_8246815_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs442.ash2/71527_1633370719580_1396034156_1603149_8246815_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And then Jake and Tom had Hunter and Braxton (Leslie's kids) came over to play, since all the chores were done. And the boys played computers or whatever it was they were doing. And Eme had Bella (Veronicas daughter) come over to play. We had 8 kids in the house. But you know what, they were all playing with each other, so no one needed me to enterain them.

Tom and Joe and Jim went to the front yard for a while to play, and everyone was happy, for the most part. I finished my weekly work of designing, and got my products into the store, and such.<br /><br />And at 7:30ish pm, I put the kids to bed. And sent the company home. And we read scriptures (for last night too, since I forgot...), and said prayer, and then everyone was asleep.<br /><br />And then I tried on my new clothes from Savers!

And it really was a good day. I did forget to take my Prozac until 8pm. Yeah, that's not good. Hopefully I sleep tonight. hehe. I need to set an alarm on my phone to remember to take it. Around noon. Maybe I'll do that once I finish up with this.Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984984258251401496noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616974119042082826.post-51881579621543012972010-10-10T23:16:00.003-04:002011-11-14T09:35:54.073-05:00Captain America and Bethany HartyHa! I scrapbooked last night! Can you believe it? hehe. It's been MONTHS since I've actually scrapped a page. Captain America and I took some photos in front of the house right after church, and I thought they turned out SO cute, that they just begged to be scrapped. So I went shopping, and found this WONDERFUL kit from Studio Natali at Scrapbookgraphics, and here we go! Do you like?<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs814.snc4/69442_1627065001941_1396034156_1589756_505583_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs814.snc4/69442_1627065001941_1396034156_1589756_505583_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs820.snc4/68025_1626989160045_1396034156_1589503_4716397_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs820.snc4/68025_1626989160045_1396034156_1589503_4716397_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs774.snc4/67414_1627095802711_1396034156_1589812_3280876_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs774.snc4/67414_1627095802711_1396034156_1589812_3280876_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs818.snc4/69798_1627204325424_1396034156_1590197_4346320_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs818.snc4/69798_1627204325424_1396034156_1590197_4346320_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs442.ash2/71522_1627379369800_1396034156_1590967_3266067_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs442.ash2/71522_1627379369800_1396034156_1590967_3266067_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984984258251401496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616974119042082826.post-85018420449410369512010-09-06T23:47:00.002-04:002011-11-14T09:44:52.397-05:00Labor Day Weekend 2010Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged. hehehe. I really hate missing days, because it gets to be SUCH a pain to go back in time and fill y'all in - hehehe. What? Didn't you know that I'm a time traveler, too? ROFL!<br /><br />So lets see what I can remember from this weekend. I think I left off on Thursday afternoon. I continued packing, had a few more errands to run, packed some more, Captain America finally got home from work (commander wasn't letting anyone go...), and anyway, we didn't roll out of El Paso until around 9pm. Yeah, late start.<br /><br />I ended up driving most of the way, because Captain America was SO tired. And I was tired. But we made it there in one piece.<br /><br />I slept in the truck until the men folk pitched a tent and got my bed ready, then I went to bed. That was my reward for driving the 2 1/2 hours while Captain America slept. I'll take it :)<br /><br />He must have got the kids unpacked and in their tents too. Cause camp was mostly set up when I woke up at 7am Friday morning.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And I was FREEZING! Seriously!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs625.snc4/58518_112096195513875_100001404848211_89420_6323933_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs625.snc4/58518_112096195513875_100001404848211_89420_6323933_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And it wasn't just me!

Check out Paul in his t-shirt and shorts. Whaaaaat? I know it was freezing!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs606.snc4/58602_112096295513865_100001404848211_89425_211730_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs606.snc4/58602_112096295513865_100001404848211_89425_211730_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So as we were sitting around, freezing, Hilarys phone got a text. WHAAAAAAT? We have reception? I ran to the tent and grabbed my phone. and YES, I had reception too! Last time we camped here, there was no reception at all. Sure, it's a different location, but same area. Or maybe we just have a better phone? I don't know, but I wasn't complaining.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Look at my face - hehe. I can't contain my joy - ROFL!<br /></div><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs320.snc4/41328_112096338847194_100001404848211_89428_2623322_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs320.snc4/41328_112096338847194_100001404848211_89428_2623322_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And then there's a TON of pictures.

Which is an hour away in town. And there's no way we're taking 8 children into Walmart. There's just not. ha! So the men decide to go to Walmart, and the women are gonna stay in camp.<br /><br />The kids go off to play. I read in my book, and Hilary takes a nap. And around 4pm, we start to cook dinner. And of course, when you cook over a campfire, you get all dirty. Check out our hands.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs434.snc4/47750_112108452179316_100001404848211_89627_4892462_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs434.snc4/47750_112108452179316_100001404848211_89627_4892462_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Which leads to the next series of pictures.

And the kids were happy to be home with all of their things, so it was good.<br /><br />We met Paul and Hilary at Savers, and the girls shopped while the guys held our purses and stuff. Yeah, it was awesome! I found some new jeans and some shoes and a few tops. It was 1/2 off all clothing. I was so excited. But I think 1/2 of El Paso was there too, so it wasn't quite as enjoyable as it could have been. Still, 1/2 price IS 1/2 price. I ended up with 2 pairs of sandals (one of them Steve Madden), 4 tops, 5 pairs of jeans, and 2 Halloween accessories for $40. Not too bad :) My jeans were getting too loose, so I needed some new ones :)<br /><br />We found these at Savers, and I'm TOTALLY going back to get these before our Pirate party. Oh yeah, we're doing a pirate theme because Sept 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate day. Did you know? Arrrrgh!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs411.snc4/47425_112271688829659_100001404848211_91227_2022362_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs411.snc4/47425_112271688829659_100001404848211_91227_2022362_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />After Savers, we headed over to Academy Sports. Just to balance our the girls store, I think. hehe. The men LOVE Academy Sports. ha! Hilary and I were gonna go look at shoes, when we TOTALLY got distracted by this mirror. ROFL!<br /><br />Yeah, so those pics are on Hilarys phone, and I can't get them. Sigh. Cause they're SO funny. Maybe she'll upload them before I go to bed for the night so I can put them on here. Otherwise, I may grab them for tomorrow. I was a fun house mirror. So it made us have super long legs, or neck, or face, depending on where you stood. Yeah, it entertained us for a good 15 minutes :)<br /><br />Then, we decided to go look for size 20 womens/40 mens pants. Cause that's the size both of us used to wear. And we tried them on over our clothes. Dang, I can't believe that was my size! I got both legs into one pant leg of some size 40 mens shorts.<br /><br />Then, we wandered back to the men folk. And hung out on some ammo while the guys looked at guns. Then headed out for lunch.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs605.snc4/58507_1579935183725_1396034156_1492554_1181535_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs605.snc4/58507_1579935183725_1396034156_1492554_1181535_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Captain America and I in the car on the way to lunch<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs430.snc4/47339_1579982424906_1396034156_1492622_4467033_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs430.snc4/47339_1579982424906_1396034156_1492622_4467033_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We went to Rudy's BBQ for lunch.

She was having a rough week, and had missed us TERRIBLY while we were camping. I guess we're fun or something.... hehehe.<br /><br />So she and Aimee and I went to Walmart. I needed to get a few things for Captain America anyway, since he was going to the field on Tuesday. He stayed at home and did some things with the kids. He's such a good guy :)<br /><br />I think Aimee enjoyed the trip. We were laughing so hard we almost peed a few times. Hence the trip to the Walmart bathroom. Whaaaaat? Look at this fancy bathroom! ha!<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs411.snc4/47412_1580376154749_1396034156_1493570_3660438_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs411.snc4/47412_1580376154749_1396034156_1493570_3660438_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I got most of the things that Captain America needed, the girls go the things on their list, and we headed out. After dropping off Aimee at home, we saw Captain America with the kids and the truck and trailer. He was dropping it off at his friends house, Joe, who's letting us keep it there. So we pulled over, I went with Captain America, and Hilary didn't need to take me home. It worked out perfect :)<br /><br />We dropped the trailer back off at Joe's house, and headed home. And I decided that yeah, 2 64 oz sodas are NOT good for me. That was WAY too much caffeine. Not when I'm weighing what I'm weighing. At a heavier weight, I could totally pull it off. But not being under 140. Not happening.<br /><br />I didn't really feel good the rest of the night. We had family home evening, Captain America and the two older boys cleaned the vehicles, and I put the little ones to bed, and started blogging. And just felt sick to my stomach.<br /><br />OK, I've learned my lesson. Too much caffeine is not good. I'm sticking to a under 64 oz limit per day, thank you very much. hehe.Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07984984258251401496noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616974119042082826.post-71547704389314322702010-08-04T03:13:00.001-04:002011-11-14T09:45:31.753-05:00A Typical Summer Day...Hey there peeps :) How is your day going so far? It's 12:35am here on Tuesday nite, and I'm beat. I've gotta plow through this blog, design something, then go to sleep. Morning is gonna come WAY too fast for my liking, I'm afraid...<br /><br />I got up today at 7:30am, and made French Toast for the kids, and cleaned up the kitchen a bit. Maddie and I got mostly ready (minus the shower), and she and I and Lily and Eme went to Fallas Paredes to look at a rug to match the one that Maddie bought yesterday.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here's me mostly ready - ha!<br /></div><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs093.ash2/37968_1535936243779_1396034156_1375980_3041946_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs093.ash2/37968_1535936243779_1396034156_1375980_3041946_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We walked around and looked some more, then headed to Bassett Center to the Jewelry Box. My online buddy, Joy, wanted me to pick her up some of the rings that I bought yesterday. And they still had them, so I snagged 'em for her :) And of course I got a few things for myself, and a few things for Eme.<br /><br />We headed home, and got ready for free lunch and pool. It was beans and rice and BBQ beef day. <a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs260.snc4/40335_1536141568912_1396034156_1376507_7197821_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs260.snc4/40335_1536141568912_1396034156_1376507_7197821_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs260.snc4/40335_1536141568912_1396034156_1376507_7197821_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs303.snc4/40464_1536142048924_1396034156_1376508_5871669_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs303.snc4/40464_1536142048924_1396034156_1376508_5871669_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We sat over by Danielle and her kids.

We were supposed to stop by her house after free lunch and before the pool and get it, but my phone's battery died about that time. So we just went to the pool.<br /><br />And I have no pictures, because my phone's batter died... Anyway, we did have fun at the pool, but weren't there very long. We stayed for one pool break, and came home. Maddie had found Lily a swim floaty thingy at Goodwill yesterday, and I think Ella liked it more than Lily. Either way, one of the girls was having a TON of fun with it :)<br /><br />We saw Hilary and Julie there at the pool, but didn't get to visit very long. We had to run. I was going with Karin to the Scout office to purchase some Scout supplies for the primary. So we had to hurry.<br /><br />We got home in time for me to change my clothes, throw on some lip gloss, and out the door I went. We went to the Scout shop, and got Den books for all the leaders, a Den Leaders manual, and 3 copies of the new and improved Program Helps.<br /><br />OK, for those of you in Cub Scouts, I HIGHLY recommend the new Program Helps! I looked through it when I got home, and they're AWESOME! It breaks down how to get your badge in 16 den meetings, plus shows you what to work on at home. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I'm really excited for the program to start up again.<br /><br />Anyway, Karin and I got what we needed, and I agreed to help her get a calendar ready for all the new Scout people, and I'm gonna go meet with them on Wednesday night and help "get the ball rolling". So I need to write down some ideas between now and then...<br /><br />We were only gone for about 40 minutes, then she dropped me back off at the house. I grabbed Ella, Jim, and Joe, and we headed over to the lady's house with the Slip N Slide. She seemed pretty nice, and we chatted for a few minutes, then I paid her, grabbed the Slip N Slide, and we headed back home.<br /><br />Here we are in the backyard, playing on it.

Anyway, here it is... :)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwzBoVL-ejT7NPxSZzrkXBkUgoSlUO2d70IU1fWVlN-OJIh5DZN2F3LVxM4REwF7etX_Onnm3ALsk3crLmmjQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzmKNF_apCs1oYUEJJAjTC62imaldMdCKkJqXlJKkd4cRj3yze-cXcG2ZQU5zmsZQkQkhKzOHFWxhNHcmSoFQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />So after playing on the Slip N Slide and getting ALL dirty and grassy, I came inside to take a shower. Hmm, when was dinner? I can't remember if dinner was before or after the Slip N Slide.... It must have been after. Anyway, I made pasta for the kids, and a stir fry of sorts with a limited number of pastas for me for dinner. It was tasty.<br /><br />Anyway, here's me after my shower. With my skinny jeans and boots. What do you think? Can I pull off skinny jeans? I'm still not sure.... I did wear them in public, so I guess I don't think they look TOO bad - ha!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs238.snc4/39225_1536609620613_1396034156_1377871_2329901_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs238.snc4/39225_1536609620613_1396034156_1377871_2329901_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs127.ash2/39685_1536609820618_1396034156_1377872_2808435_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs127.ash2/39685_1536609820618_1396034156_1377872_2808435_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs247.snc4/39681_1536609940621_1396034156_1377873_1372532_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs247.snc4/39681_1536609940621_1396034156_1377873_1372532_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So at bedtime, we put the kids down, and Maddie and Captain America and I headed to to Outlet Malls. Captain America needed to get new running shoes for Work. We all drove over together, and Maddie headed off to Rue 21, and Captain America and I went to look for shoes.<br /><br />Last time I ran with Maddie, besides the fact that I almost died from previous lack of exercise, I was SWEATING my butt off, for lack of proper running clothes. So I wanted to remedy that situation - hehehe.<br /><br />We always deal with the same chickie at New Balance, and she's SUPER nice. She gave us her employee discount (didn't know she was gonna do that!), so we ended up with 40% off our order. I was pretty happy. I got a new pair of running shoes, a top with built in sports bra, and shorts that look like a skirt. It's pretty cute. I'll take a pic one of these days. Plus, Captain America got new running shoes. And our total was only $82. We save $20 a month, then buy shoes. So the money was all saved and allotted before we bought it. I love it when a plan comes together, you know :)<br /><br />Here's Maddie and I at The Jewelry Box. I wanted to get a snake ring for Jake as a "Thanks for babysitting today" present. Eme had picked one out when we went earlier, and he LOVED it. Maddie and I are posing in the first picture...<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs236.snc4/39123_1536715943271_1396034156_1378012_7841101_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs236.snc4/39123_1536715943271_1396034156_1378012_7841101_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />And pretending to look at stuff in the 2nd. Look how intently we're looking at either each other or the stuff. ROFL!<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs109.ash2/38808_1536716703290_1396034156_1378015_268379_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs109.ash2/38808_1536716703290_1396034156_1378015_268379_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We met up with Maddie, and went to a few more stores in the 15 minutes the mall was open (REAL fast), then headed to Circle K for some DDP (Diet Dr Pepper). Then on to Walmart. We don't have a school supply list first, but I figured if I didn't go buy some basic supplies now, they'd all be gone. I got 20 glues, 40 glue sticks, 20 boxes of crayons, a compass, and 5 boxes of colored pencils. I still need paper and notebooks and such. But they didn't have the inexpensive stuff at this Walmart, or they were all out.<br /><br />We walked around a bit more, getting odds and ends things that you always find at Walmart that you need. Darts for the dart board, wipes, razors, bandaids. You know, typical "I need this" stuff from Walmart.<br /><br />We headed back to the food, and Maddie decided to stop for a Happy Meal. hehehe. I left her in line, and went to get some food for Jimmy for after his surgery. Go Gurts, some regular yogurt for him, popsicles, ice cream, push ups, Capri Suns. Yeah, the other kids are gonna hate him - ROFL! I did buy some Otter pops for the rest of the kids, so hopefully that helps.<br /><br />We went back to McDonalds, and Maddie was still waiting for her food. We sat and waited with her, and then her food was finally done. She bought a cookie for both Captain America and I, so we sat and ate with her.<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs304.snc4/40523_1536788785092_1396034156_1378111_277612_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 640px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs304.snc4/40523_1536788785092_1396034156_1378111_277612_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>See, Andrea, I'm eating a cookie. And I really ate the WHOLE thing. Cause 1 cookie a day (plain) is on my Refeed part of my diet (the maintenance part...). I really was good. I don't know why I looked pained...<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs210.snc4/38824_1536789545111_1396034156_1378112_6689375_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs210.snc4/38824_1536789545111_1396034156_1378112_6689375_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs229.snc4/38783_1536790745141_1396034156_1378119_883140_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs229.snc4/38783_1536790745141_1396034156_1378119_883140_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So after we ate, we went in line to pay, went to the bathroom, and headed home. My feet were KILLING me from those high heel boots, so Captain America went and got the car and picked us up at the front. What a SWEET man. He even helped me get my boots off, and unloaded all of our stuff into the car. Love ya, hon!<br /><br />We drove home, unloaded, put the big kids to bed, and I cleaned up my bedroom. Here it is, 1:05am, and the house is quiet. No one else is awake. Hmmm, I wanna join the sleeping ones, I think.

TONS OF PICTURES. hehehe.<br /></div><br />Holy Busy Day, Batman - hehehe. It was practically non stop, all day long. Got up at 8am, had breakfast, got the kids situated, straightened up a bit, and got myself somewhat ready.<br /><br />At around 9:30am, I drove the kids over to the vision center. We were seen after about 15 minutes. Not too shabby :) They took Tom and Joe and Eme first, and Jake and I and Jimmy sat in the waiting room. Sigh. That sure wasn't a lot of fun. hehehe. Here's Jimmy and Jake in the waiting room.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs183.snc4/37492_103987906322499_100001338695284_27588_7768987_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs183.snc4/37492_103987906322499_100001338695284_27588_7768987_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Jimmy and his gum<br /><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs084.ash2/37517_103945839660039_100001338695284_27316_4500805_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs084.ash2/37517_103945839660039_100001338695284_27316_4500805_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Jimmy in the eye doctors chair (perfect vision)<br /></div><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs065.snc4/34637_103987849655838_100001338695284_27584_6349888_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs065.snc4/34637_103987849655838_100001338695284_27584_6349888_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs103.ash2/38469_103987866322503_100001338695284_27587_3721168_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs103.ash2/38469_103987866322503_100001338695284_27587_3721168_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So after about an hour and a half, we were all done. The insurance raised the price for a Contact Prescription, so I decided NOT to get one for Jacob. He has a brand new box of contacts at home, and once they run out, he's done. I did get him a glasses prescription, though. VERY similar to his old one.<br /><br />Tom's prescription didn't change enough to warrant new glasses, so he's good for a while.<br /><br />Eme needs glasses now. She was pretty excited, though. ha!<br /><br />Joe and Jim both have perfect vision.<br /><br />And me? Well, I have better vision now than I did before. Yup. Lost 1/2 a point. Went from 5.0 in the right eye and 4.5 in the left eye down to 4.5 in the right eye and 4.0 in the left eye. The doctor wanted to know how much sugar I ate, and I said none. I told him that I'd lost 100 lbs from my heaviest to now.<br /><br />He said that it's not medically proven, but that when people lose weight (40 lbs or more) that their vision improves. Who knew? hehehe. SO, I have better vision now than I did then.<br /><br />We headed home, and got ready for free lunch. I checked my old contacts, and I had a FULL unopened box of astigmatisim correction contacts (left eye). Sigh. I decided that when I went to buy contacts, that I'd try and exchange them. It's worth a try, right? That's $45 right there....<br /><br />Lily was sleeping when we got home, so Maddie stayed home with her, and the 6 other kids and I headed to free lunch. Grilled cheese, fries, watermelon, and milk. They LOVED it. And there was enough left overs to bring some home for Lily for when she woke up.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Jimmy<br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs050.snc4/34853_103987266322563_100001338695284_27577_5240219_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs050.snc4/34853_103987266322563_100001338695284_27577_5240219_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Tom</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs038.ash2/35245_103987429655880_100001338695284_27578_134137_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs038.ash2/35245_103987429655880_100001338695284_27578_134137_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Me</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs083.ash2/37499_103987446322545_100001338695284_27579_6323569_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs083.ash2/37499_103987446322545_100001338695284_27579_6323569_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Joe</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs045.snc4/34599_103987649655858_100001338695284_27581_1673980_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs045.snc4/34599_103987649655858_100001338695284_27581_1673980_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Ella</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs170.snc4/37829_103987609655862_100001338695284_27580_3376943_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs170.snc4/37829_103987609655862_100001338695284_27580_3376943_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Eme</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs099.ash2/38267_103987826322507_100001338695284_27582_7266539_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs099.ash2/38267_103987826322507_100001338695284_27582_7266539_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Ella and Tom<br /></div> <a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs183.snc4/37510_103987836322506_100001338695284_27583_5713709_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs183.snc4/37510_103987836322506_100001338695284_27583_5713709_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Jake and his milk - hehehe.<br /></div> <a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs184.snc4/37542_103987859655837_100001338695284_27586_3789230_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs184.snc4/37542_103987859655837_100001338695284_27586_3789230_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We went home, Maddie and I ate lunch, and Lily woke up.

So I only had to buy one box. They just exchanged the other box. Sa-weet! It ended up costing me $128 for 2 pairs of glasses and 2 boxes of contacts. Not too shabby :)<br /><br />We had a few things to pick up from Maddie's shopping list, so we got a cart and started looking around. When we got to the produce section, we saw that Strawberries AND blueberries were both on sale for $1 a carton. Nice!<br /><br />I decided that for Family Home Evening snack, we'd make mini fruit pizzas. I bought sugar cookies for the crust. And cream cheese (and am gonna add a bit of milk and powdered sugar) for the "sauce". And strawberries and blueberries for the toppings. Should be pretty good. Plus, I got enough for Captain America to have some extra for his shakes.<br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs043.snc4/34501_104042179650405_100001338695284_28173_1954467_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs043.snc4/34501_104042179650405_100001338695284_28173_1954467_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>After Walmart, we hurried to Sonic in time to catch Happy Hour.

I made pork, and mashed potatoes, and green beans. Kids seemed to like it. I made TON and TON of extra potatoes. Oops. I guess I'll have to make it into something else for tomorrow. Maybe a shepherds pie type thing?<br /><br />So after dinner, I started in on the snack. I made the cream cheese "sauce", and put it in 8 little dixie cups. 7 kids and 1 adult (Maddie and I are on my diet, so we weren't gonna eat any). I also put the blueberries in the dixie cups, and sliced strawberries into a bigger plastic cup. Then all the plastic cups and dixie cups on trays. And put it on the kitchen table. It looked pretty cool - hehehe.<br /><br />We all sat around the kitchen table, and had Family Home Evening. We sang Popcorn Popping on the Apricot tree, Tom said the prayer, and Captain America gave the lesson on how the Scriptures will show us the way to go, and bring light into our lives (like a flashlight in a darkened room). Then we made these. It was a lot of fun.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs078.snc4/35272_104080029646620_100001338695284_28610_824571_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 648px; height: 484px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs078.snc4/35272_104080029646620_100001338695284_28610_824571_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jim<br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs185.snc4/37586_104079309646692_100001338695284_28597_4843057_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs185.snc4/37586_104079309646692_100001338695284_28597_4843057_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Eme</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs079.snc4/35321_104079352980021_100001338695284_28598_4511380_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs079.snc4/35321_104079352980021_100001338695284_28598_4511380_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Joe</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs088.ash2/37731_104079376313352_100001338695284_28599_245826_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 648px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs088.ash2/37731_104079376313352_100001338695284_28599_245826_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I got spray butter on 4 saltine crackers with some splenda and cinnamon.

I just love vacation :) No time schedule. Go with the flow. Its a great time :) There was a time that this kind of schedule would have stressed me out, but not since joining the Army - hehehe. Go with the flow is a way of life there :)<br /><br />So I went to bed at around 3:30am, and woke up at 8:30am. That's about par for the course these days. hehe. Anyway, we dawddled around a bit at Randolphs house, then eventually made our way over to Lewis' house. That's where all of our stuff is. We showered, and got ready, and hung out there for a bit.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs140.snc4/37340_1486121678446_1396034156_1245880_2180921_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 720px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs140.snc4/37340_1486121678446_1396034156_1245880_2180921_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I got to see Captain America play Rock Band with some of Lewis' kids.

I hung out upstairs with Carol and Adrienne, and had a good time :) We did our nails again (I can't stand stuff on my fingers, so I got rid of it, and got my toes ready to paint) Mostly we just hung out :) I like to hang out :)<br /><br />At around 5pm, we all went to Dinner. Us and his parents and his sister. Where, you ask? Applebee's, of course.

At all. Just put them on here randomly. OK, so I'd really like for it to be in order, but it's just not gonna happen. I don't have all night, you know - hehehe.<br /><br />We left for Ruidoso on Thursday night at around 7 0r 8pm, and met up with Paul and Hilary on the way out of town. We stopped in Alamogordo for gas, then pushed along. We finally made it to our "dispersed camping" spot at around 11pm. It was pretty late. And dark. Yeah, dispersed camping means that you just pick a spot in the forest and camp there. No running water. No bathrooms or outhouses. Just a spot in the woods. It's amazing that we found somewhere in the dark. hehehe. It was actually a pretty good location.<br /><br />We pitched our tents, got the kids into bed, unloaded a little bit, then went to sleep. It was past midnight when we finally fell asleep.<br /><br />The next morning, we cooked fried egg sandwiches for everyone, and had banana muffins for breakfast. After getting it all cleaned up, Captain America headed into town because the truck was having issues. He feared that it was the rear end that we'd just had fixed. Sigh.<br /><br />Hilary and I headed into town to pick up a few last minute things at Walmart. We took Jimmy with us, but left Joe at camp because he'd already gone to the creek, waded, fallen in, and was filthy. He was supposed to sit in a chair in the sunshine and dry. Paul was gonna be in charge of the 7 other kids.<br /><br />We drove in to Walmart, and got quite a bit of supplies. All the kids needed rubber boots. Because of the creek and mud and junk. It was pretty wet up there. Soggy too. Did I mention that there was snow on the ground in places. We FROZE! It was almost 100 in El Paso, and about 50 in the mountains. Quite a difference.<br /><br />Of course, there were no warm weather clothes at Walmart. Only summer junk. So that wasn't helpful. We did buy a toilet seat. We were gonna have Paul attach it to a broken camp chair with duct tape and 550 cord. Yeah, it was gonna be awesome.<br /><br />So after getting our stuff, we headed to Sonic for a Diet Dr Pepper, and headed back to camp. It was a 45 minute drive each direction, so we'd been gone for about 3 hours. On the way back, it started to rain. We hoped that it hadn't rained at camp. Poor Paul.<br /><br />We pull into camp, and it's TRASHED with water. Apparently, it rained the whole time we were gone, and hailed for a good 45 minutes. EVERYTHING was wet. Tents, sleeping bags, children, supplies, all of it. Paul was not a happy camper. Poor little Joe was FREEZING. First thing, I changed him into new clothes. Which was hard, since the tents all got rained out. Luckily, I'd put all their clothes into Walmart bags, so most of them were dry.<br /><br />And because Jimmy had missed all the rain out fun, he decided to fall in the creek. So I had to change him too. And we put rubber boots on everyone.<br /><br />Paul and the kids got to work on the toilet seat, and I strung up all the rope I could find between trees, and make clothes lines. We had TONS AND TONS of clothes to hang up. And sleeping bags. And pillows. It looked like we'd been camping for weeks, not just a day. LOL.<br /><br />Eventually, the sun came out, dried things out a tiny bit, then it rained and hailed again. Sigh. It was on and off raining the rest of the day. We did manage to stay mostly dry, though. And got the tents mopped up.<br /><br />Captain America came back around dinner time. $600 for a new read end, but the truck was fixed. Sigh. He's gonna go talk to the guys who fixed it the first time, and see what they can do to give us some $$$ back.<br /><br />We cooked Chili for dinner. And Chocolate Cherry cake. Mmmm, smelled good. I was good, though, and stayed on my diet the entire time.<br /><br />Next day, we all went into town, and went to Lincoln, New Mexico. It was a Billy the Kid site, or something like that. We left after lunch, and stopped by Walmart first. To get a few things. And we bought some wood. And by the time we got to Lincoln NM, the touristy places were closing in an hour. So we walked real fast, and saw a few of the shops and museum places, then headed back home.<br /><br />We had foil dinners for dinner, which turned out pretty yummy :) The kids had s'mores for dessert. Tasty! After the kids went to bed, Hilary and I stood around in the fire pit (because it was warmer near the coals) and took silly pictures of ourselves. Because that's what people do who are fun and don't drink, apparently. ROFL! Can you imagine us WITH alcohol? hehehe.<br /><br />Next day was Sunday. The girls went into town, and the boys went on a hike. Captain America told an Indian story of the Piasa Bird around the campfire that evening, and played guitar songs for the kids. The grown ups stayed up late and chatted, and then Monday, we broke camp and headed back to El Paso.<br /><br />We left at around 4pm, and got to Alamorgordo at 5pm. We went to dinner as a group at Applebees. Yeah, our waitress was awful. She messed up on the drinks order, and it took us over an hour to get our food. And she didn't get Captain Americas order right, and messed up on Hilarys girls food. In fact, after and hour and a half, one of her girls STILL didn't have her food. We eventually called the manager over.<br /><br />He ended up cutting our bill in half, which was supposed to be separate orders, but she messed that up too, and put it all together. So, instead of $120 for 12 people, it was $60 for 12 people. I guess it worked out. We stopped at the gas station for gas, then headed home again.<br /><br />We got back late, unloaded, showered, and headed to bed. All in all, it was a VERY fun trip. I'm SO glad that Hilary and her family came with us. Girl, I'll camp with you guys again ANYTIME! hehehe.<br /><br />OK, on to the pictures. Again, no particular order.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This was in Ruidoso, on our way to Lincoln.

Drat! I half slept in longer, though. At 8am, the kids were "accidentally" bumping into our door a bit too regularly, so we decided to get up - ROFL! I thought it was good of them to wait that long for us - hehehe.<br /><br />We went out, and found that Joe and Jim had gotten into their stockings. Jimmy had opened up a Hot Wheel trailer, and they'd both found their packages of Thin Mints. Sigh. Little boys, right? We had the talk about not opening up Christmas presents/stocking/stuff until Mom and Dad wake up. Hopefully they won't do it again next year. At least it was just the top layer of their stockings those two got into - LOL! It could have been a lot worse ;)<br /><br />We made the kids eat breakfast, do a few quick chores, and then we were ready for opening presents. Let the fun begin!<br /><br />First off, we opened the Wii from my mom. The kids were SO excited to get it! Because Santa was bringing Jake Wii games, it woudln't make sense unless we'd already opened the Wii gift. Hence the order - LOL!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The kids when they realized what was in the box - check out Tom - hehehe.<br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJWaVBCIOfr9qQTRLFk0IR0WHsjSLru-U2vcZFFr5uynnbWQy-gXrUwaSFJ_5kMqRZOFKSnQRRaLLPrwQjWYt5Nex3-CEiYuMuB_Z1ra9ETVcsa5yZ7QLwggUDcR9i2in0etjYhahH7ja/s1600-h/1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJWaVBCIOfr9qQTRLFk0IR0WHsjSLru-U2vcZFFr5uynnbWQy-gXrUwaSFJ_5kMqRZOFKSnQRRaLLPrwQjWYt5Nex3-CEiYuMuB_Z1ra9ETVcsa5yZ7QLwggUDcR9i2in0etjYhahH7ja/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425262525010530" border="0" /></a><br />This about says it all - LOL!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJYBpp_fyXPJEUfpk-zrPU0cJRcx6qmJ0nl-8fTv0f3bz2Ain6iqCoZXnVSk3erkt9BRbiaKfBYSS42BkxL0epDIo2n1KN4pN3udYKdOqgSIvc9Klu6MS4_vnh-lzWKvLf10gsZJ_tB0k/s1600-h/2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJYBpp_fyXPJEUfpk-zrPU0cJRcx6qmJ0nl-8fTv0f3bz2Ain6iqCoZXnVSk3erkt9BRbiaKfBYSS42BkxL0epDIo2n1KN4pN3udYKdOqgSIvc9Klu6MS4_vnh-lzWKvLf10gsZJ_tB0k/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425259710654066" border="0" /></a><br />OK, this really bothers me that they're not in order, but I'm just gonna have to go with it. See, we opened the Wii, then did stockings, then did one present per person from Santa, then passed out the ones from Madi, then the ones that we drew names for, then the rest of the stuff under the tree. But I divided it up unto Wii, each child, then Captain America and I. So, just for my piece of mind, know that we didn't open presents in this order - LOL!<br /><br />Here's the Wii Fit Plus<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3jtEofdOQowiZYc9uLiJ_n_qtEeUIWtSS35a_DX5d33FmnwPtl_j9WoHfR5Qb2gqGcFgPLtHQDQE5bpoeuef6nROoFH-fUn_fiM20NalIfbXt9uuUZceKP5MrEnvVW6gJ5SNemKKTEtZ4/s1600-h/3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3jtEofdOQowiZYc9uLiJ_n_qtEeUIWtSS35a_DX5d33FmnwPtl_j9WoHfR5Qb2gqGcFgPLtHQDQE5bpoeuef6nROoFH-fUn_fiM20NalIfbXt9uuUZceKP5MrEnvVW6gJ5SNemKKTEtZ4/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425130252343490" border="0" /></a><br />Wii Guitar Hero (only $40 at Big Lots!)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGdpNhcqb7bkavS11EhPDzH_fncWsY2Ghyphenhypheno_RLtxS6Kf1OA0rE3fP2c74WtPoe-863kGkh0A-cPYepYNB8lVgUIvHkoXZ-ILeXishd4hnigcGGOgQQXu5-Myqo9EIXNj4tjw2zTAzNofCV/s1600-h/4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGdpNhcqb7bkavS11EhPDzH_fncWsY2Ghyphenhypheno_RLtxS6Kf1OA0rE3fP2c74WtPoe-863kGkh0A-cPYepYNB8lVgUIvHkoXZ-ILeXishd4hnigcGGOgQQXu5-Myqo9EIXNj4tjw2zTAzNofCV/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425126396077794" border="0" /></a><br />Wii Lightsabers (the ones I stood in line a Ross FOREVER for....)<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxmXAnKR6-opC-GHTMnOxRaNwNplFhr8j1V7nfj0OXiJPUXztTyCVmCjafgMaYGc8gFfJIFlJtM6sufKUDErmjp0IUYAk6P6aNs4xQGq-WNmlMeD40AbH9YdDjI2w6FL7N7FdW5bor3Uf/s1600-h/5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxmXAnKR6-opC-GHTMnOxRaNwNplFhr8j1V7nfj0OXiJPUXztTyCVmCjafgMaYGc8gFfJIFlJtM6sufKUDErmjp0IUYAk6P6aNs4xQGq-WNmlMeD40AbH9YdDjI2w6FL7N7FdW5bor3Uf/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425124500297890" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3WkwakLuEL-X-iZdfko_HaXOGvDQ9yBcRbWCIJWHSXiyoqdQszY3oCypz6Me5iBo7-BSBbxukK126MaiUscP3kVOoeE9dfYakIYJ-SGSSMs17kbEoPJIZwPjo6ed1S8izxEUAE6Zce_5-/s1600-h/6.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3WkwakLuEL-X-iZdfko_HaXOGvDQ9yBcRbWCIJWHSXiyoqdQszY3oCypz6Me5iBo7-BSBbxukK126MaiUscP3kVOoeE9dfYakIYJ-SGSSMs17kbEoPJIZwPjo6ed1S8izxEUAE6Zce_5-/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419425118910829010" border="0" /></a><br />Rechargable station.

Here's Tom in his Knight costume.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAzdpEEuC_vAPqfLhGrcbx23iheEfSGUG4Zsxgm9zd7WWEnyourZKJNPlQAKNjU7IhrInjmh90gm63oB-ZBASFHP5mU30T00l6oF90714pUhEf9gpyDLNjsyB0gQKWw_AhEOJm52UG2HA/s1600-h/1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAzdpEEuC_vAPqfLhGrcbx23iheEfSGUG4Zsxgm9zd7WWEnyourZKJNPlQAKNjU7IhrInjmh90gm63oB-ZBASFHP5mU30T00l6oF90714pUhEf9gpyDLNjsyB0gQKWw_AhEOJm52UG2HA/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396361847159871970" border="0" /></a><br />We got a text from Andrea saying that she was going to Katy and Adelas garage sale, and that we should join her. My mom and Dad and Jim and I walked down the street to the sale. My dad already has his costume on, so that was kinda silly - LOL! He had on a long black wig, a bandana, and an eye patch. Jack Sparrow - hehehe.<br /><br />Katy and Adela did pretty good at their garage sale. I think they told me later that they made over $140. Not too shabby! I got a lamp and a picture album and my mom got a dress for my niece, Ella.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUcdzDAJA_93Yzxpzddv7B-xbDi5ODmbPSjtvJqxKs3dbILtrgNjBrrU4wxtw7SSoYk_4K4t1Lo4taMg396xcNbpII2to-T7k3KmSpHgWjbtmsqplQ0sHI01-RQQQA1CWh2r88Fjli0M/s1600-h/2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUcdzDAJA_93Yzxpzddv7B-xbDi5ODmbPSjtvJqxKs3dbILtrgNjBrrU4wxtw7SSoYk_4K4t1Lo4taMg396xcNbpII2to-T7k3KmSpHgWjbtmsqplQ0sHI01-RQQQA1CWh2r88Fjli0M/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396361844435498226" border="0" /></a><br />Back home for more costumes.

We got to take 3 pumpkins home (one got dropped, but maybe we'll make some pie out of it). A lot of the game type booths were "donation" places, so we avoided those. I know, I'm cheap. We tried to hit the free booths.<br /><br />There were a few other Snow Whites at the event. This little girl was so cute. My mom wanted us to get our pictures taken together, but she FREAKED out. It was the funniest thing. You'd have thought I was a monster of something. hehehehe. See how she's trying her hardest to get away from me.

Only $1.50 for a group shot. Not too bad. We even squished everyone in. It'll come in in a few days.<br /><br />The bike MP's (Military Police) were there on Segways. Someone in our group thought they looked like Mall Cops. TOO funny. We chatted with the chickie for a little bit, and learned that it was harder to drive them then they looked. You had to be careful not to tip over, and it could only go 11 mph. But hers could only go 9 mph.

You can figure out what we bought - LOL! Hot dogs all around! Well, not quite true. I splurged for myself and got a hamburger. And let me tell you, it was SO tasty.<br /><br />We were trying to kill time until noon. That's when the costume judging was. Really, if we weren't sticking around for that, we'd have left a while back.<br /><br />Here's a few Snow Whites that I found. The one on the left just LOVED me and has snuggling right up. hehehe.

Poor kid.<br /><br />Here's a pic of all of us (well, the part that fit in my mom's camera) lined up. There were almost 100 entries in the costume contest.

Good prizes, eh? We didn't win, but it was good to have Jake in the top 20!<br /><br />We headed home, and got all changed and cleaned up and ready for the baptism. Jake got most of the makeup off his face. He kinda looked a bit goth. LOL! We got to the church about 10 minutes before the baptism was supposed to begin. We got the room all set up, and the font was filling already. Pfew! I was a little worried :)<br /><br />Here's a pic of Eme in front of the font, before the baptism.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGbLdI_cAn4evwN9tYmZ3pHu6IzenV7GC8ceCnO-_PQYRYSxq933BRoebK9bXsHMoh4_nlD44-566NHBa4pHSdo70WwaFs5ZA6zc8hyjl8d6w-K7AtIgGnlSbB0GCFn6b6R80bd1qGevs/s1600-h/18.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGbLdI_cAn4evwN9tYmZ3pHu6IzenV7GC8ceCnO-_PQYRYSxq933BRoebK9bXsHMoh4_nlD44-566NHBa4pHSdo70WwaFs5ZA6zc8hyjl8d6w-K7AtIgGnlSbB0GCFn6b6R80bd1qGevs/s400/18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396360787566540050" border="0" /></a><br />See the cute top that my mother-in-law crocheted for Eme!<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaxNSMcBRq9OL4U9es_E-L_9okvWqAYy0CpxcL3Dktf2uKbdao-fKet7cH7HLr6aklWeX09quKChcQXAy0XgNAhmfKoQpRqhLPij_0qyYkmIHQkYiSFgUwb_T4qT0VKnFPbCYjl4KyY4E/s1600-h/22.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaxNSMcBRq9OL4U9es_E-L_9okvWqAYy0CpxcL3Dktf2uKbdao-fKet7cH7HLr6aklWeX09quKChcQXAy0XgNAhmfKoQpRqhLPij_0qyYkmIHQkYiSFgUwb_T4qT0VKnFPbCYjl4KyY4E/s400/22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396360520557270786" border="0" /></a></div>Isn't she cute!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmXni81Y-NClQzy385_kiT3cLxD3jByNpkXK40atCo7aesRRLMo_auGQC2JzH2hafXH9N-pCcK9GZEFPpVasqqhJOtIbDt7QEWF8dZczZ7cpbGPFChd3FOy-HC5WHvXpqEPKJ_QNVk-E/s1600-h/19.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmXni81Y-NClQzy385_kiT3cLxD3jByNpkXK40atCo7aesRRLMo_auGQC2JzH2hafXH9N-pCcK9GZEFPpVasqqhJOtIbDt7QEWF8dZczZ7cpbGPFChd3FOy-HC5WHvXpqEPKJ_QNVk-E/s400/19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396360783490672962" border="0" /></a><br />Eme and I<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwzGM-nCuaVZuHbCXQ0Allng-kJz-mwLUHiAWcMjs_6VAGbyH5z6Fg3Wcm01QgAWAnGNAMeTI88e3JUL15GAtzRUs5yC6OP6BjwGRHQS5AR5URkPjhrqygILSAc5t48BS40fNtIp8Rd0/s1600-h/20.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYwzGM-nCuaVZuHbCXQ0Allng-kJz-mwLUHiAWcMjs_6VAGbyH5z6Fg3Wcm01QgAWAnGNAMeTI88e3JUL15GAtzRUs5yC6OP6BjwGRHQS5AR5URkPjhrqygILSAc5t48BS40fNtIp8Rd0/s400/20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396360525450005234" border="0" /></a><br />Grandpa Steve and Eme and Grandma Lyn<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrbRK0RLXD1V1NddTmnCP_oV31KcTCBwdI771s3zzxuvyE9IsRnhjvl2a-39xNoh0In0MM-UeDFGuCkdgpWUGflv-Nj7LAmsler48f-sk3arCLGuyyy74fJ27mh6P6dr_AEqhb0sD4lU/s1600-h/21.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrbRK0RLXD1V1NddTmnCP_oV31KcTCBwdI771s3zzxuvyE9IsRnhjvl2a-39xNoh0In0MM-UeDFGuCkdgpWUGflv-Nj7LAmsler48f-sk3arCLGuyyy74fJ27mh6P6dr_AEqhb0sD4lU/s400/21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396360526976624962" border="0" /></a><br />Eme and her dad.

Our whole family sang the opening song, my dad gave the opening prayer I gave a talk, Eme was baptized, my mom gave a talk, Eme was confirmed a memeber of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and received the Holy Ghost, the Primary president welcomed her to the ward, the bishopric member welcomed her to the ward, we sang a closing song, and Jacob said the closing prayer. It was a very nice program.<br /><br />Here's a picture of me and the girls. Wasn't that nice of them to come and support Eme.
