Happy Birthday to ME!

What can I say, I got spoiled! I don't think it's fair that my birthday lands around tax return time and David's lands around Christmas! Oh well. Better this way than reversed! HAHA!! We went out Friday night because all of the babysitters would be at the YW General Conference Saturday night. Glad I remembered that before hand. I have forgotten before!

David brought me home a dozen roses. It's been a long time since I have gotten flowers! Then we went to the Tuscany Restaurant. Neither of us had been there before. It was recommended to David by a friend. Fantastic food and I think we made up for David's birthday with the price!!

Then we headed over to the Cheesecake Factory. Cake did not sound good to me so I thought about cheesecake. Well, the best is at the restaurant. So we took home a whole cheesecake for Saturday. Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. YUM! The kids loved it too. I bought the smallest one because it is so rich; you can only eat a little at a time!
Saturday I went to the temple. I haven't been since having Jenna, so it was nice. Then we went to McDonald's with the kids. The kids were so well behaved. We also went to look for a new t.v. We have been without cable since July and we just watched movies on our old t.v. until that finally kicked the can a couple months ago. So the computer has been our lifeline to the outside world!! We didn't come home with one yet. Maybe in a week or so!

I attempted to go shopping Saturday night. The last time I went shopping was my birthday last year. I am out of practice and have realized that my sense of style is about gone too!! I have been rotating about 5 shirts and 3 pants, which one of those got 2 big holes in the knees a couple weeks ago. I am trying to SQUEZZE into my pre-pregnancy jeans to give me more options, but am realizing they just might have to be put in to the D.I. bag! I would like to say I found something to add to my almost empty closet but I didn't. Jenna was terrible and I was in the dressing room trying to hurry and realizing that my body STILL isn't back to where it was a year ago I gave up. The only thing I came home with was toothpaste I stopped to get at Walmart. Maybe next weekend will be more of a success!

Roses and chocolate. You can die a happy woman. That pretty much means you married prince charming.

Love

Man McGary's and March birthdays! Happy belated birthday, sounds like it turned out to be a great one! Love Alyssa's hair and am slightly jealous that she is potty trained and you are down to one in diapers:). Your shopping experiences sound like mine as well as your closet. I swear my clothes are so old and nasty and I wear the same few shirts over and over.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
