Here's to learning how to forge your mothers name!


My sister in law was talking to me about her high school reunion coming up soon and it got me thinking about my graduation announcement. Most people wouldn't think about that because there's was the generic one that has been printed since the 50's. My mother thought that she could come up with a better announcement for my brother and I. I thought that it was lost forever since I never got one because they were all sent out. Well I was wishing that I could find one and behold the power of thought brought one to me. So I thought I would write down what my mother put for the sake of having it, oh and sharing of course.

Deep Thoughts
Lance and I were talking the other day about not ever having to ride the stinky school bus again now that we are graduating, not having to listen to kids screaming or the bus driver telling you to sit down or get your head back in the bus, or catch you chewing gum on the bus, then she'd make you take the gum and make you stick it on your nose and everyone would laugh and laugh, and we swore that if we ever got thru school we would make them PAY!

(open the card)

And then it hit us, Lance could drive the bus and I could be the mean lady telling kids to put gum on their nose and then WE would laugh and laugh!!!!!


Isn't that so great. I mean who else had that sent out to everyone in their life when they just accomplished 12 years of work. Thanks mom this goes right in there with the dread of her sending notes to school because she always wrote about me having on clean underwear etc. Well here's to learning how to forge your mothers name.

Valentines day Photo Shoot

So for valentines day we decided to take out kids to the fundraiser for the two sisters one heart. It was fun and I am glad that we went. We also stopped at the temple on a whim and took some family photo's just for fun. I could show you the really awesome amazing shots of the fam but then you wouldn't have anything to look at when you come to my house when we MOVE IN MAY!!!! So here are the really bad out takes, ENJOY!

This little Pig had babies.......


The Pig had Puppies about a little more than a week or so ago. I think I may have scarred Brigg for life because I let him watch one of the births. All he said was, "EEEEEWH YUCK". So I don't know how much damage it did. He still likes to go and see the pigs so I think we are still ok. I found something out too that for all of you who don't have a weak stomach may or may not like to know. But after a pig gives birth you don't want to touch any of the babies because you leave your scent on the piglet and the mother will kill it. She may even eat it, EEEEW YUCKY!


Also Dallyn's dogs are at our house for a while there are only five left and I think a few of them still haven't been spoken for if anyone is looking for a dog.

Watch out WORLD


I thought this day would never come. Vanessa is finally walking!!!!!! She took TEN steps today. Her official first step was January 24th. She even shook her booty with Grandma White. Part of me was really hoping that she would wait until she was 18 months so I could just walk her into nursery but I am so happy to not have to carry anyone for a while. She loves the attention and even cheers for herself. Good Job my sweet baby girl.
