My Newest Craft

Here is my latest craft. I haven't really been doing crafts since Christmas, and have really been trying to get back into them. This is of obviously one of those metal stars that I have added pictures of my adorable pets, and handsome husband, and some scrapbook paper. It was a little difficult to decide what to put where, but I think I did an okay job for my first one! Please let me know what you think.

Snowy day!?!

Spring has sprung, I have my tulips coming up, and then it snows! Can you believe it? of course you can.....we do live in Idaho! The first day of spring was on Friday, and it snowed Sunday night. Anyways, we had pretty days for spring, and then get this snow storm. I hope it gets warmer and stays that way all summer long!

Trace turns 5

Trace is my nephew. His parents are Sam and Krista (Sam is one of my older brothers). Today he turned 5, so I made the trek up to Rexburg to say hello to the little man, and give him his birthday present. He sure seemed to enjoy it. He is doing really well in his classes at school, and continues to make me proud of how well he is doing every time I see him. Going up to Rexburg and seeing those boys certainly made me realize that we need to get together more often. I certainly hope we can work on that.

Kami is a Character!

On Saturday, while at Travis and Sunshine's, Kami was being so silly, and posing every which way for the camera......I think she wants to be a model when she's older...... She kept begging Trevor and me to take a picture of her. So, of course, how can Auntie and Uncle not give in? Especially since over the last few months I have had a few posts on Addison.

She has her lip gloss and apparently is rubbing it all over her shirt.








She made sure all of our lips were nice and glossy...needless to say, none of us have chapped lips!

I just told her to smile!!!! What a goof! :)

I turned around to get one of Ashley's Swedish fish that was on the table.....last I checked.... Well, silly Kami had them and was bunkered down to get as many as possible.....I think she ate half the bag!

Being the convincing person that I am, I helped talk Sunny into getting Kami's ears pierced.....I felt so bad after the first one....Silly little girl said...Oh, its just going to tickle.....Yeah...if a pain in the ear is considered a tickle... Afterwards, I she told Travis that it hurt for a minute, but now it tickles..... Funny girl. She was very brave, and only cried for about 3 to 5 minutes. Not too bad.

Fun Saturday with the Fam...

Saturday we had a family get together with Trevor's mom, Travis, Sunshine (Host/Hostess with the mostest!), their 4 children, Brianna, and Ashley. We had a lot of fun, they made a great lunch for us, and we ended up staying for quite a while so they could play Rockband 2.

Here is the band.....


The Fans.....

And Beautiful Addison Laughing at her funny Uncle Trevor, while being safe in Aunt Beans arms!

Twilight DVD Release!

I'm sure if you have live on Planet Earth, you are
aware that Twilight the movie came out on DVD
today. At 12:01 am. I was able to convince my wonderful sis-in-law Brianna to go with me to the release at Wal-mart. I picked her up from work, and we headed to the store. We got there at 11:10 or so, and there wasn't anyone anywhere for the movie...no line from what we could see, so we decided to go to my house so Brianna could see Trevor. Well we headed back to the store and it was 11:45pm. The line was almost to the door of the store! Dang it! We must have had 100 people in front of us.

I felt so no smart at that moment. A few minutes

after the midnight release, they opened lines at the front of the store. We decided to stay where we were. We watched people come and go from the line, frantic to get thru faster...we waited....and waited....then, we decided to move lines.....the cashier at our line disappeared when we were only line 5 people from getting the dang DVD. About 2 minutes later, another cashier shows up, and leaves, then comes back and we get our DVD. We were within the last 30 people in line. So, we went from first to last in the span of 2 hours! Great!



This is our view in line!

All in all, good night....glad I got the DVD! Now, I just have to wait till May for the Blu-ray release. :)
Now, I'm exhausted...my back hurts....and I'm going to snuggle next to my loving hubby and go nighty night.

Tis the season........hardy har har har har!

If only the flu bug was as cute as this little guy, then maybe having the flu wouldn't be so bad! As you can probably guess, I have the flu! And am not too happy about it! It started on Monday night, and has continued fairly steady the last few days. I thought I was done with it this morning, so I decided to have something good for lunch....Now, I am back to being blah, and am going to take a nap! Frustrating.....I tell ya......frustrating!!!!

They walk among us.......

Now, I've had my blonde moments.....most of you know them.....And bring them up often.....Since I am no stranger to dumb-foundness, I thought you would get a kick out of these!

'Millionaire' Contestant...
Makes Worst Use Of Lifelines Ever!

NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'A) A PeanutB) An ElephantC) The MoonD) Hey, who you calling large?Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer.'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her t o decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans. 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.'Come on Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.'To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.''I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know , sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see... For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

Caution...they walk among us!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.' The next day someone stole it!***They walk amongst us!***

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted....'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where?'***They walk among us!!***

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff' ***They Walk Among Us!!***

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.***They Walk Among Us!!!!***

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped She keeps it in the trunk.***They Walk Among Us!!!!!***

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?' I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned...***They Walk Among Us!!! !!!! ***

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'Has your plane arrived yet?'... (I work with professionals like this.)***They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!!***

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.***Yep, They Walk Among Us, too.!!!!!!!!Sadly, not only do they walk among us, they also reproduce !!!!

Designated Foster parents...?

I wasn't going to post this, but I just couldn't handle not posting it...


As quite a few of you know last summer we took in Brianna's (Trevor's lil sis) cat Darla for a few months while she was finding a new apartment. Well, last week I got a frantic call from a good friend of mine. She was in need of finding a foster home for two kittens she had found, and asked if I would mind taking them in for a few months. Of course Trevor and I didn't hesitate. They are Adorable! Trevor named them both, Steve, and Edward....if you know my husband at all, you know how odd his pet names are....example: Ebeneezer! So, We will have Steve and Edward for a few months, and then we will be giving them back to her.


Here is Trevor and the 3 little rascals you already know.
















Here are Steve and Edward. They are a little over two months old.



















This is Edward

















This is Steve.

Addison's Pictures

As most of you know, and of course, my sister-in-law Sunshine knows, I have some very beautiful Nieces, and handsome Nephews, and I love to brag about them. So, here are some new pics of Addison. These are her 1 month pics.





When your stuck at home for too long...this is what happens...

So, on Tuesday's and Thursday's Trevor has to drive in his carpool, so I am stuck at home all by myself. I find things to do with my free time. I usually just play on the Internet, and do my regular cleaning of the house. But, on Thursday, I got up at 5 am when Trevor left, and had already done my surfing on the Internet, and was bored, so I decided to start Spring cleaning, and it had been a while since I rearranged my living room, so I did that. Here are some before and after pictures! I hope you enjoy them. I also have a picture of myself....afterwards, very tired...I also cleaned/organized my storage room, and all the drawers. Oh, I also did an amazing 11 loads of laundry! Crazy I know!

It was a gorgeous Spring day as well! Here are some pictures of my front yard.

Even James Bond Has A Day JOB!


Trevor got new pants delivered today. I had him try them on to make sure they fit, and they look so good on him.....I'll get a picture at another time! So, he starts taking off all of the tags, and we find out that his pants were inspected by double O 7! So, apparently the bad economy is even cutting into James Bond's budget! :)

Dog Person.....Really???

I didn't know that I would love animals as much as I do. I grew up around Pomeranians, because my mom bred them, and loved the puppies, but got frustrated when I had to pick up the poo, or clean up the pee.....I'm still that way with our dogs! Hate the messes, but I love them like they were my babies. I hated my friends cats when I went to her house, they always frustrated me! And I didn't like other peoples dogs always barking and crap!
I never understood why people said they had furr babies, but now I know why. I love taking pictures of them when they are doing silly things, and they all love to cuddle which is great!



I have to say, I actually love that after Trevor leaves in the early mornings to go to work, all our dogs, and our cat get in the bed with me, and I feel safe, and warm with them laying there all sweet and everything.



I often catch myself looking at dogs on the Internet, or at the pet store, and wishing we could give more dogs and cats a home. Weird, I know!

Playing catch!

Cute pictures!

Here are some cute pictures of the puppies, and Eb that I thought you might enjoy!


This is Wolf, it looks like he is laughing!














Poor Eb had to endure me playing with the new camera! I think he prefers the flash being off, don't you?















This picture was actually the last picture I took with my old camera the day before I got my new one. I took this because he is a king on my new towels. I hadn't had them sitting there for more than two minutes and turned around, and he was lounging on them! Little bugger anyway!
These are pictrues taken thru my living room window at the dogs in the back yard! I can't believe how good they turned out!
They really enjoyed the sun that day!





Ernie in his favorite spot!
