Slimey Witches Brew

Kelsi is singing a song in school called "Witches Brew". We decided to make some on Sunday .{with 3 o'clock church we have to get creative to pass the time} It was so fun - we basically just layered jello in a clear glass and added gummy worms and fruit snacks (bugs). They didn't end up eating much of it...the fun was in watching it set up, adding the second layer of jello and putting the bugs in.

Fun Tag but....

I'm changing the rules! So I'm supposed to go to my 4th album and pic the 4th picture and post it. I've already posted that picture so I'm just picking a random pic from my library of pics. Who doesn't love looking at a brand new baby! I didn't blog when Kennedy was born so I thought I would post this one.

Why is it that I don't totally cherish and appreciate the peacefullness that a baby brings into a home? I am always waiting for the next new/big thing while trying to keep up with the cooking/cleaning/the older sisters. Someone told me that is why it's so great to be a grandma. You get to love your grandbaby's and then give them back at the end of the day. Plus you're not recovering from just having given birth!!! So is that what my next big thing is to look forward to? Ha!

Thanks for the tag LT!

Check Her Out!

I usually fast forward the musical guest on SNL (most of them are a little too scary for me :) This girl, however, was AWESOME!!!!!

.....I Can't Make You Love Me and ChasingPavement are my faves.....Cold Shoulder's good too!

I've also listened to Beyonce's new song, If I Were A Boy, about twenty times tonight. Definitely a worthwhile download. There is nothing better than some good tunes on the IPOD as you clean while everyone sleeps!

There is such power in music! It can make you happy, sad, energetic (spiritual on Sundays :)

I absolutely love it!!!

I hearby....

PROMISE to use this candy jar for decorational purposes ONLY and at no time will I indulge in this delicious snack of candy corn, reeses pieces and pumpkin spice hershey kisses!!!

Now that I'm a slave to the Mesa Public School schedule, I have to make the most of my time with Kelsi&Kaitlyn while they are home. We have been busy and are sometimes a bit "over scheduled"....I miss the days bundled under a blanket watching HigleyTown Heroes with them on the couch in the mornings.Kelsi got sick on Tues (missed picture day!!! ugghh) so we had almost a whole week with her at home. Kaitlyn had the week off as well so it was back to the good ol' days for a while. I took a little break from the gym and just kicked back and enjoyed being at home with my kids. We had some "cheap" fun and took them to the Bass Pro Shop at Riverview on Thursday. They got bored fast, but loved seeing the aquarium from the elevator.

On Friday, I joined Chucky Cheese online and got a large pizza, 4 drinks and 40 tokens for 18 bucks! Pretty sweet deal! And Saturday, we topped it off with a TacoBell dinner at Fountain Hills. Fun times...but if you ask them what their favorite part was about their weekend...they would say when Aunt Meagen and Uncle Chad came to babysit. We just can't compete with that.

Have you learned the Pledge of Allegiance or something??

Every time Kelsi says the family prayer now she goes off and starts saying the Pledge! It's so funny! For some reason she's always said, "please bless the United States of America". But now she adds, "please bless the United States of America...and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all". From there she will continue as normal until she says AMEN!

What is in this stuff?

MMMmmmm....I am so in love with PBLOCO right now.

Love+Peanut Butter makes a great combination....

I'm showin' off some good ol' white bread filled with nutella (which I didn't know is just melted chocolate!) bananas and dark choc peanut butter. It doesn't beat the razzledazzle which is rasberry peanut butter/marshmallow cream and bananas...of course you gotta go white with the bread! Why do they give you an option?

While the guys went to the priesthood session on Saturday, I had a little girl fun! It doesn't get much better than a trip to Scottsdale and some pbloco for a snack!

Here we are: Sunni (almost 8mos. preggo...can you even tell? NO); Bre (who's fiancee is severely allergic to PB! YIKES!); and me...thanks guys for letting me have my fix of this yummy creation! We'll be back soon....hopefully with more of y'all!

I LOVE

HALLOWEEN! Every holiday is fun; but for some reason this year is so exciting! Maybe it has something to do with not being pregnant and having my kids under control. I can breathe! So I went and got some pumpkins (ready to carve)! There is a great cover on Woman's Day Magazine with the cutest pumpkins. We are listening non-stop to a hilariously spooky halloween CD that Kelsi got from preschool last year. If you want a copy let me know...it has put us in the mood! Kelsi wants to be a mermaid and kaitlyn wants to be Belle. I am going to try and convince Jesse to dress up with me this year. Last year we half attempted...I'm off to GoodWill to find me a killer 80's prom dress and hopefully a tux for Jesse (with ruffles).........Here are some pics of Halloween's past....Care to share what you're doing for Halloween this year? Is it a secret?
