We're Having fun here in Iowa. Pictures to come after the new year :0) Merry Christmas!

I updated to the new posting format. I am not seeing the video button to add a video. Does anyone know what I am talking about, if so where is it. I have some great videos to upload of Hannah.

Ben Benn

I hope I am blessed with another boy one day. I just love having a son, even if he has tons of energy. I wouldn't trade it for anything. love you Ben Benn!

i am thankful

for homemade playdough, my children, husband, and oh so much more. Happy Thanksgiving.

Yesterday we went to the Tooele Family Center. I think I have found something to help Ben this winter. The Family Center is free. One Mondays we can go there and Ben can listen to stories being read, then do a craft. On Tuesday's they have a little preschool hour. We can check out books, dvd's, games, toys, and cd's all for free! Yesterday we brought home the game Boogle jr. and Benjamin has enjoyed playing with it. Now, the only problem is I am car-less during the day. How to get there??

Tooele Family Center Blog

So my blog is blocked :0). For those of you who left comments, I knew you were visiting. I was getting worried since the last few weeks people from lots of different countries were viewing it. Not sure how they found it since I did not allow people to find it on Google. I think it will save me from worrying to just have it blocked.

Blocking the Blog

I am going to block my blog. I have everyone's email address still saved, but if you think you're not on there let me know. I'll block it at the end of this weekend. I've been tracking who visits and lately I think people are getting on here that I don't know. 

Pictures and a video!

Bored Stiff

We are bored. Winter is practically here. Any suggestions on how to keep my almost 3 year old happy and entertained? Movies aren't cutting it, coloring lasts a few minutes. Boo.

guess what?

She is 3 months this week. Oh where does time go?

Early Friday Favorite

I don't buy cookbooks very often, but I knew this one would be a winner. If you haven't heard of The Pioneer Woman..shame one you! Here is a link to her website (click here) .

How does homemade enchiladas sound? Or Maple pecan scones? Or how about a Chocolate sheet cake? Or last but not least, Comfort Meatballs?

This cookbook is a keeper. By the way, she has tons of other recipes on her website.

Don't you hate bathmats that get all mildewy? Not anymore! My mother introduced me to this bathmat she found at Bed Bath and Beyond. It's mildew resistant and anti-bacterial. I love it.

She's getting bigger and sleeping extremely well at night. Not so much during the day, but night is what counts right??
Ben climbed into the dogs kennel on Sunday. The dog belongs to my brother. See video.

Stephens Hot Cocoa Peanut Buttercup! It comes with small peanut buttercups that melt in the hot cocoa. Very Good! Especailly if you're a peanut butter addict like my self.
I love this Fruit and Veggie wash. It's great at washing away pesticides and dirt.

After I had my second child my brother gave me this hand lotion from Bath and Body works. Since I wash my hands a TON, this lotion has been a life saver to my hands. It smells great too!
I have yet to make Homemade cinnamon rolls. I will one day mark my words. But these are so yummy! A little too yummy since I crave them.
I love peppermints, but they have to be some what soft, not hard candy. These from See's are good.
