Just thought I would write a few comments on our blog on this wet and rainy sunday. We had a great ward conference today and were blessed to hear from the Bishop and from our Stake President, Pres, Johnson. We were definatly fed spiritually. We even survived Stake Visitors in Primary, no escapee children, no one was too wound up...just some issues with teachers still giving food in classrooms. All in all, it was good.
Then I came home to finish working on Taxengine, which is tax support that I do at home, online. I got to also answer some emails and make dinner. Yummy Manicotti and salad and breadsticks!!
We have a fireside tonight, I will post more on that later.
I got to talk to my husband for quite a while today and he sent pictures of Maine, I thought I would post some here on the blog, so you can see where he it.
have a wonderful Sunday!

tagged
Ok, So i was reading Carolannes Blog and saw the questions she was tagged with and thought I would answer them here and then challenge my friends to answer said questions on their blogs...And if you dont have a blog to answer them on, then just copy and paste them to me in an email!!
10 Years Ago: I though 30 sounded OLD....We had Nate who was 6, Nick was 4 and Caitlyn was 2. Nobody had been in the hospital in a year...WAHOO!
5 places that I've lived: Bountiful, Pleasant View, Cohasset, MA, Berthoud, Co, various places in California on my mission and Clearfield
5 jobs I have had:
1. Sorting through recieved merchandise at The Talbots in Massachusetts and filling catalog orders.
2. Waitress/Hostess- The Red Flame in Bountiful
3. Receptionist- Farmers Insurance Office for my brother
4. I owned my own gift basket business
5. Music Teacher, Davis School District
What I would do if I became a billionaire: pay my tithing, pay off any outstanding debt, build up my food storage, put money away for college,missions, weddings etc and then buy a boat!
Bad habits: I have so many
1. Not picking things up when I am done with them
2. Starting a project, which leads to another project, which takes me to another project and then I have 20 things started and strewn all over the house and nothing completed!!
3. Procrastinating
4. Thinking about something and then spitting out a random thought about the thing I was thinking that no one else knows anything about because they werent currently occupying my brain with me!!
Things I enjoy: Having Kris home. No stress, Summer vacation, The ocean, Sand in my toes, Being on a boat, Quiet, Blogging, digital scrapbooking, musicals, working with the youth, my kids, the dogs.
Things people don't know about me:
1. I'm secretly a control freak
2. I like vegetable soup for breakfast
3. I'd rather live by water than by mountains
If you read this and laughed, consider yourself tagged!

These Aren't a few of my favorite things
i just plain dont feel good today, so I thought I would compose a little song, summing it all up!
To the tune of "My favorite things" from Sound of Music
It started on Sunday, when our household was cursed
First it was Caitlyn, then Kris got it worse
No body came to church with me
These aren't a few of my favorite things
Monday was better, but it was a fluke
By tuesday, Nick and Caitlyn both thought they might Puke
I left them both home all day long by them selves
These aren't a few of my favoite things
When the kids cough, when the dogs bark
When my husbands gone
I simply can't think of how bad i feel
Or the weeks will drone on and on
Wednesday came with a 5am statement
Mom, I think I have a fever "oh, elatement"
Nick had been struck with some sickly thing
These aren't a few of my favorite things
Off to the Dr, to wait for an hour
After swabbing his nose, Nick has super flu power
So off to the pharmacy, thru blowing snow
These aren't a few of my favorite things
How much will that new drug cost
Maybe $110.00 Bucks
I simply can't think of how bad I feel
But my co-pay made me thank, my lucky ducks!!
So, now it is Friday, the weeks almost done
Nicks getting better, but I've just begun
Im coughing and stuffy and Kris leaves for Maine
Please email or call, cause I might go insane
Aren't we glad for
Technology and
for blogging the way we feel
Im grateful for friends who all love us so
I think I'll go pay a bill!!!!
Ok, kindof corny, but hey...its life!

Dessert Theater
So, I thought I would finally post some pictures of dessert theater at the jr high. Our Caitlyn was spectacular and we were really proud of her, not only her performances, but her attitudes towards all of her cast mates and everyone that put the show together. I had so many teachers come up to me and thank me for having a daughter who listened, and who was very respectful of every one around her. WAY TO GO SWISS MISS!!!
So enjoy the pictures
Love to all
So enjoy the pictures
Love to all

He's HOME
I had the funnest experience last night. I had talked to Kris earlier in the day and he told me he would be in meetings until at least 5pm their time. So around 5:30 our time, I sent him a message saying "call me when you are out of your meetings and let me know how things went"...nothing...so I called him at 5:45 and no answer. I figured maybe he was out to dinner or getting some other things wrapped up with corporate. BUT NO....I got a text message from him with a picture email with the caption "guess where I am..." I couldn't tell what the picture was, so I expanded it on my phone and showed it to Caitlyn and she exclaimed " THATS OUR HOUSE" !! I thought..."no way" So I called him again, and sure enough he was home. He had gotten out of his afternoon meetings, ran to the airport and got on a flight out!! What a suprise!!
We were all so thrilled to finally have him home...at least for a few days!
He goes to Caribou Maine on the 15th of February for 2 weeks. But that is OK. We are thrilled to have our daddy home!!!
