Okay lets be brutally honest here --- If you have not joined facebook... you are going to have too... I cannot be depended on to update both places (Obviously) Im sure i will come back to the blog...I love it! and I know that when birthdays and holidays arrive I will need a place to post my lovely stories.. but for day to day updates... Im officially a facebooker.. and here is what I think of march so far

Today is the day... It doesnt matter who we voted for... He was elected... And I for one, Am excited for the change!

I thought maybe one of my favorite poems could say it better today than I ever could.

Still I Rise

by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?‘

Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard

‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

So excited for the New Year... YAY!

So much going on... not enough time

We have been up to soooo much, i just dont have the patience to type it all... but the pictures are too adorable not to share... so use your imaginations... lets see who can come up with the best reason for these pictures!!! Plus ive become completely addicted to facebook and am guilty of updating there alot ... im sure my impassioned affair with facebook will come to an end eventually.. my true love is this blog.

Ofcourse again the dates on my camera are messed up part of the time.

Friday... Front Runner... Family

Well - we didnt know where to start... Heather is home for the Long weekend..

But she had to run back up to Ogden today for an appointment. Whats a mom and brother supposed to do??

We followed her! Scarier still.. I let her take my car!

So that i could finally take lil man on this! which i have been promising forever!!

He was sooooo excited! here he is waiting to get on

Here he is riding the front runner (its really nice for those that havent taken it... i liked it alot)

We caught a movie in ogden (TOTALLY saw twilight again)
and now we are home... happy little family are we!

Hope everyone had a great holiday!!!!

And the week just continued....

It is funny how that happens... you are so sure that everything has so much discord.. and so many angry vibrations that surely it must stop time right? but no, time doesnt stop just because you are frozen in place... And so the week continued.. and admittedly was alot of fun on thursday night and friday night... i know i blog alot about what we do at scouts.. not that im an avid scouting fan.. or that i think what our little den is accomplishing is rocket science.. but some of the ideas and activities that are thought of and pulled off for free... and are a complete riot.. always make me think... why havent i thought of this before!!! IT is so much fun! so i figure i will pass along the fun.... so people looking for fun games and activities for families... That are free... and dont include a TV or a single game paddle... can slap their forehead right along with me.. and say! What a great idea!!!
This week we had a turkey shoot... LOLOL! Supplies included rubber bands, clothes pins... brown paper lunch bags.. wooden dowls (sticks would work) newspaper to stuff the turkey... scissors, crayons... glue or tape... and let the hunt begin!!! LOL No actual turkeys were hurt in the making of this... but several scouts (and moms) got shot with rubber bands - First they made turkeys

Then they hot glued the clothes pin to the dowl... Rubber band guns now created... they aimed

Fired... and shot their turkeys down... It was alot of fun
Then ofcourse anyone who knows me.. knows this is where i spent my evening yesterday... I LOVED it... i want an edward.. umm a little older version of an edward... but... drool...

Pictured are lindseys two girls... and Johnathon. We had alot of fun!
Hmmm so i totally wanna snaz up my blog.. Any one wanna recommend where i can get a cool new background?

So the lion fell in love with the lamb... what a stupid lamb... what a sick masochistic lion... YUMMY!
