Brittyn's Piano Recital

Last night was Brittyn's second piano recital and she did fabulous!! She played "The Scissors Grinder" and "A Song Of A Penny Candy." It is always at Legacy Home which is beautiful and plenty big...so guest are always welcome. She did have her share! I thank you for those who did come it means a lot to her and to Trent and I! We both come from great families who are always close by! Joni is her teacher and she lives just a few streets away so a lot of the kids in the neighborhood take from her. It's fun because everyone that plays you know....Brittyn LOVES piano! For which I am grateful!

Stinky Stinky Diaper Change

Brittyn brought this home from school a few days ago...felt it was appropriate to share. As I am really really THINKING not yet doing the potty training thing with Beau. He has NO interest and says NO every time we talk about it. Awww...BOYS! Really what more is there to say about them. So here it is. It is a song they sang to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Pretty funny.

stinky stinky diaper change

It's okay, don't hold your nose
now he's clean and in fresh clothes
all his stuff is often stained
can't wait till he's potty trained
he's so cute in his playpen
what's that smell?.....OH .....NOT AGAIN!!

Got my book!

NOT the best picture (had to have one on here) but I took it with my cell.

Just wanted to tell you all...I got my 2008 blog book! I LOVE it!! I am so extremely happy with it. It's so funny because I didn't remember half of the things I blogged about...so in that case I am so so happy that I am doing this for myself and for my family. It is a great way for me to remember things. I am so not a scrapbooker (have no creative brain!) This is easy for me. Sit at the computer for a few minutes...log a pictures and type! Really....who can't do this?!

Girl Friends

I have great girl friends...I love and treasure our friendship. My close friend that I met in 7th grade who I still see often. Erin! A fabulous next door neighbor who I know would do anything for me. Nicole! A friend that calls me almost daily to just say "hi." Brooke! Yes...I am naming names because they deserve to know they are awesome! My many close blogger friends that I don't see often but love dearly. Tiffany, you always make me laugh. My cousin peeps Nat and Trisha. My sisters...Jenn, Jill, Julie, Janeen Chrissy and Randi! They are my sistas what more can I say! My mommy Sherri because she is the best! My mother in law Laurie. My bunko chickies that I never see. Kimmy Cat..she is a fabulous friend and she does my hair. That's why it is so pretty! Lol...Misti, met on my very first job and now her hubby is our dentist. Nicki, haven't seen her in years but have the best memories! Trent's amazing cousins I wish they were my own...Cindy and Mindy. A few from my ward that are the sweetest real people ever...Tami and Stacey. Lacey panties..I miss your cute face! I could keep going but you all get the point! They are genuine.....and I am lucky to have had such fabulous, amazing women in my life!! Just want you all to know how much I do love and appreciate you! Even if we don't see or talk that often. You are wonderful women! Loves and hugs to you all!!!

Permanent Marker Ban!!!

Really....why do we need permanent markers? I don't own many but with in a 2 minute period (no lie) my son that shall remain nameless found a black one and made pretty little swirls all over the bottom half of the glass on my french doors in the office! Yes..he is alive and well but I about lost all my hair! So again I ask....Why do we have permanent makers?! Obviously they went right into the trash can! I was so flustered that I could not even take a picture....naughty boy!

Down in the Dumper....I guess!

I know as moms most of you can understand this. Why do I feel like a disappointment? Like I fail at everything? Today I just am not getting it. Try my hardest to do the right things. Have my kids involved, clean my house, make dinner (even if it is just grilled cheese,) do homework with the kids, taxi kids, being Brittyn's room mom and trying to get the class Valentines party panned for next week, diet (why can't I be happy 20 pounds over what I should be?) try to shower (because we all know that doesn't happen every day,) de-junk...I have taken almost 30 bags of stuff to the DI in the past 2 weeks. Be the supportive wife that can handle anything that comes my way. I can keep on going too! Wearing a smile and being happy all the while. But I still feel like I don't do enough to please some people! I try not to compare myself to other women but at times it is so hard! I am not a perfect person, wife, mother or even friend! I don't want to be because how would you ever learn and grow....but I also don't want other people thinking I should be! Moms and wife's have the hardest job...don't get me wrong! Men have a hard job and I would not want to trade. I treasure my man and am so thankful for all he does. He is the hardest worker ever!! I know he does not want to do mine. I guess I am just feeling a little down in the dumper at the moment. Do any of you ever feel the same way?!
