Nativities come in ALL SHAPES and SIZES


The family got dressed up and attended a delightful annual Creche display and musical celebration held at a nearby Stake Center. My good friend, Amy Stephenson, directed a choir and full orchestra in a beautifully crafted, arranged, and directed concert. It helped us begin to feel the true Christmas spirit and relish the talents and gifts of so many individuals. Their effort and commitment set such an inspirational mood for many.

Nurturing PLANTS

I purchased these beautiful plants 3 weeks ago because they were on SALE. I knew I would not plant them until after Mother's Day and said to myself,

"I am GOING to keep these babies alive until then. I am DETERMINED to NURTURE them until they can go outside."

After visiting on-line sites directing me what to do, I eagerly followed the advice to WATER them daily as they need water and keep them inside until it is warm.

SEE WHAT TOO MUCH NURTURING CAN DO!


There is a parenting lesson in this!

SNOW SNOW SNOW 2-28-09





This is only the SECOND snow fall in Kansas City this year!

I FORCED the kids to go out and sled because you can guarantee the snow will be gone by Monday! Boy did I take a hit for forcing them--it was cold--cold--cold and WINDY WINDY WINDY--sledding isn't as fun as I remember, but the pictures look cute!

(one advantage of yesterday--we have all our snow gear ready for our Spring Break trip to Utah)

ICE CREAM NOT HEALTHY? Not in my HOUSE

Ok. I confess. It is 2 PM and I am still in my PJ's. I just finished watching a Lifetime movie ( I folded laundry while I watched). I anxiously await the arrival of Brad and Hunter from Scout Camp and ALL their gear after a week of outdoor exposure!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every weekend of the summer so far has been spent packing or cleaning up after boys stuff that has been outside or spraying Permone on camping gear and clothese in order to prevent TICS with lyme disease. 


Although I am more than happy to do these tasks, today I am rebelling from mothering! 

Did I mention that I have no milk, bread or kid friendly food! Jessie is eating THIS for lunch:

It IS a DAIRY product people!!!!!!!!!!!

"Great Flour Incident of 2003" CWB

When Carson was 3, we left the boys home while we went 2 doors down for dinner. This was the first time Brandon was in charge. A frantic voice on the phone called Brad home to check the damage.


This is what he found. (Stephanie could not bring herself to see the destruction. Fortunately, Brad cleaned the mess before she got home.)

Gooey Brown Substance--Easter videos

I just changed a load of wash and discovered a goey brown substance stuck to the bottom on the dryer. Jessie hasn't been going poop on the potty consistently since we started training 3 weeks ago and I thought, YUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not more poop to clean up! Luckily it was some leftover easter chocolate someone had stored in their pocket for easy access!  My day is saved!


Funny Easter Videos of 2008

After the 2002 Ice Storm in KC, tree limbs were broken off in many trees. This video shows what else can get caught in TREES!
