This one is different.
10 years ago........Emma was a baby and it was around this time my parents were getting ready to leave on a mission. I was to take care of all of their financial life and take care of their trailer court. Boy does that bring back memories. Not all good :) It was a good experience though, it taught me that some things happen and there is not one thing you can do about it so just breath and do the best you can. If the world is frowning at you, it really doesn't matter. Family matters and that is all.
Things on my to do list today.....Laundry, work, FHE, homework, dinner.......
Snacks I enjoy.......Gooey caramely really bad for me snacks, I love snickers, twix, Ice cream...... I also love salty things, salt and vinegar chips, chex party mix, pickles. I do eat some snacks that are good for me...... I love a good apple, carrot sticks, cheese sticks, pineapple, tomatoes that are right off vine, avocados..... I could talk all day about snacks :)
What would I do if I were suddenly a billionare........ First off I think I would cry and then start singing some rediculous song, like something from sound of music:) Then I would call a travel agent :) Go shopping :) You know, just spend it, of course :)
3 of my bad habits........1) My foot is always in my mouth 2) I am really lazy 3) I can't think of a third, but that does not mean I don't have one:)
5 places I have lived......Utah and Oregon. I haven't lived in five places
5 jobs that I have had.......I was a bagger at Thiftway, a checker at Thriftway, I worked in a lab for liquadry, I repair chipped windshields, and I have been a gopher (go for), a chef, a taxi service, a cheerleader, a laundress..........
5 things people might not know about me.......Lets see, uuuuummmmm I am YW President in our ward, I uuuuummmm..........................think I have filled out tooooo many of these things for you to be surprised by anything I write so I will leave it at that.
I tag Heidi, Stephanie, Kandi and any one else who feels the urge to do this hint hint Stacey wink wink

When it rains it pours
Ok this blog is depressing!! To me!!!
Sunday I had a presidency meeting at my house, we are talking and brainstorming and all the wonderful things we do for our youth, when I saw something fall from our ceiling. Was it just my imagination? Was it a spider? So instead of alarming everyone I did what I do best in bad situations, I totally ignored it :)
Well it wasn't spider, it was a nice lovely (are you ready for this) DROP OF WATER!!!! Falling from my ceiling. So yes folks we have a leak. Does any one want to run away from home with me? I just want to bury my head in the sand somewhere or something. Surely this is NOT happening. But it is so I will be doing a little roofing this spring and summer, Yay for me!!!
Ok so this is even MORE depressing, to me!!!!
Monday I get home from work, and our house is really cold (colder than on my previous post). So George in a calm sweet manner ran around checking things out, well apparently our heat pump had decided to quit working. So I am thinking this is just FABULOUS, who doesn't like bad news two days in a row????? I don't know about you guys but I love it (bury head in sand),so here I am sitting here sharing my whoa's with you all. If I run away from home, who would like me to come visit them :) INDEFINITLY ;)
Today we found out that we have a leak in our heat pump so we are having that fixed. George thinks that because we had snow on our roof, it built up a dam that let the melting water seep under our shingles? We are supposed to get a ton of ran today so I guess we will see :)
Hope nobody else it getting poured on, it just isn't fun.

Baby it's cold outside
I know some of you live in areas that are waaaayyyy colder than we are, but I still have to let you all know that I am COLD!!So cold that:
I wear thermals under my clothes and I am still cold
I wear wool socks and half the time I can't feel my toes
My ring finger turns white, ghostly, weirdly white
I avoid leaving the house at all costs
I wrap myself in blankets and I still feel cold
I make my kids do everything so I can stay wrapped up in my blanket
I get cranky when my kids want to cuddle, and it moves my blanket off of me
When I jump in bed at night I move my arms and legs back and forth to create friction so I can stay warm, but by moving my arms and legs like that I am cold again :)

State Lego Robotics Competition
Last Saturday, we all went to the State Lego Robotic's Competion. They chose to do it at a high school that was very huge, but needed way more parking. Along with the Lego competion, the high school had its activities going on, like soccer games, and play practices. So there was absolutely no parking. We ended up parking on the street.
Tayler and his team were very excited, and did well, but not as well as they thought they would. I think the main problem was their nerves. Having the anouncer dude call out everything you are doing, and having a crowd of people around to watch, can tend to make a 12 year old very nervous.
During the awards assembly, they gave every team member a medal. Then they proceeded to hand out the other awards. Tayler and his team got the young team award.
Here they are with their trophy made out of lego's.
Here they are again cheering. They were very excited to get an award!

New Year
We had a great New Years Eve. My Mom and Dad flew up to visit and we played games and ate all day and all night. Sid and Chan Hei and Sydney came over also, it was fun.
Tuesday we slept in and then we played more games and ate more and played games and ate more. Tuesday night George wasn't feeling well, and when Tayler went to bed he said he wasn't feeling well either, after I cleaned up yucky stuff TWICE, I wasn't feeling the best :) But I didn't get sick.
Wednesday we watched a ton of movies, one thing is for sure my parents get to catch up on lots of movies when they visit us. We watched Harry Potter 5 and Bourne Ultimatum.
Thursday was my Dad's birthday, we visited, played games and watched movies and then we went to a movie, we saw National Treasure it was really good, I have a problem with Nicholas Cages hair though it looks really goofy. Hope made that yummy cheesecake we told you all about and we sang happy birthday. Hopefully Grandpa had a good day.
Friday we drove around and played games and ate and had a good time together. George took Dad to work with him. That night we went to Uncle Sid's house so Tayler could show the robot to Grandma and Grandpa.
Saturday my parents flew home.
It was cold and windy and rainy the whole time they were here, I feel bad. They definitly got lots of sitting around done. I'm really glad they came, my kids go through family withdrawal syndrome every so often, so it was really nice. We love you all!!!!
