Emma's interpretation of straightening things up!

This is a 3yr old's interpretation of straightening up the shoes. This is proof to any parent who thinks that thier 3yr old is able to preform the task they ask alone, .........and get the result THEY wanted! All I could do is smile, take a picture and tell her thank you for straightening up the shoes. After the weekend I have had, I think God looked down and smiled as only He could knowing that was just what I needed! A little comic relief!

At a loss for a title so it will be ode to The Office.

What a day, I ran around Tulsa randomly dropping off our family thru out the city and picking them up again. Peter went to the ER. A meningitis scare, which turned out to be a really expense trip to find out it was a Sinus infection! Sigh.

I wish someone would have caught my park incident on tape. I would be a You Tube star right now. I was sitting sideways on one of those spring loaded animals the kids ride on. I start to rock a little thinking that was relaxing or something?? I lose my balance and think "It's OK, surely they CANT bend all the way back to the ground?"Then as I am falling ALL the way back to the ground, I am half on the ground and half feet in the air I think surely this has can't bend sideways. I have no balance left and think sideways -Yes- shift weight! I did so. And me and my jean shirt went flat on my back! I , of course tried to lay as still as possible and pretend I was trying to be funny for the kids. Yeah I think my Chinese neighbor saw it all and was a bit shell shocked. Poor guy. Today I can be thankful for the fact my hubby came home from the ER. And that I wore leggings under my skirt.

The other good thing is my birthday is around the corner and we are actually going to do something "RAD". I use the word "rad" to tease John and Julia a little. That is not my word but theirs. We have almost nailed it down, a weekend trip to San Diego baby! Leaving the kiddies behind! Ahh, feels weird actually. People really can travel with out 7 bags and 2 cars seats and a stroller? It will take a while to sink in but 48 hours of child free fun!

I am utterly, thoroughly giddy that the OFFICE is back on!

Jim and Pam forever!

Random thoughts...

I have been out and about shopping for myself who is shrinking and my kids who doing the opposite! My random thoughts are worth blogging I guess.

As I walk through the little girls department and take note of the training bra section. What happened to the traditional triangle training bra? WHEN and WHHHHYYY was it replaced with a PADDED under wire?? At that age and size what is the reasoning behind that? I am guess this is the birthing ground for insecurity, starting place for self-esteem problems, the foot hold of the devil himself, into the innocent soul of the young girls. What is the society doing?They know all right, and they are pushing it as hard and fast as they can. Why are parents allowing it? Because they are in blind denial or they are unconscience!

REVOLT my friends to the stripping of all that is innocent and pure!

It is really not about BRAS! This is a simple wake up call! Be not transformed ! NOT TRANSFORMED into this culture and world's mold. It is ever downsizing, squeezing the God-life out of you! Take out every foot hold of the world's way of thinking. If not for YOUR sake but for all those who you might have a "hint" of influence on!

It's called the Zoo Emma!

Emma has been saying we are going to the beach for days. Some how the beach and the Zoo are the same thing? We had fun with the Ekarlind's today and it was special for Aron their little boy because it was his 1st bday! Lots of fun in the sun, yes it was rather warm. Enjoy the pics!

The last picture was daddy's favorite. He was rather pumped about it and thanks to Steve Irwin our children loved the snake....mommy passed up the creepy white snake this time!

Mommy & me "date night"

Here are pictures from our "date". Sometimes a little attention solves everything!

ICE CREAM TORCH......LOOK CLOSELY!!!

CRAZY SWEDES!


What a great memory Jewels. Lov you!

To go or not to go that is the question?????

So here is my ponderings when I get a second of free time.(It truly is only a second, but not I am blogging it so it is like 5 min. now!)

The big 10yr high school reunion is around the corner! I know you didn't think I was that old, it's OK. I am not I started school at 2yrs old so that puts in at what 20 something???heheh. So I am flattered that I got invited to it, because technically I didn't graduate with that class. I home schooled with our church school the last 2yrs of high school. Still played sports there and all that. So I would love to get to see everyone and hear what everyone is doing that is for sure! Here is the dilemma. Do I want to spend like 450 dollars to do the trip up to MN for the reunion? To maybe tons of people will be getting to drunk to even really talk to. I am not a partier, or a gambler.(it's at a casino)I don't mind being there to visit and all that. But just weighing the cost of it all. Could get some really good chances to chat with people. Yet I honestly might rather spend the money one going to see one of my best friends. Whom I know I will have a blast with!

To go or not to go????Just don't know. Like Keri weighing her "Beth Moore Conf" decision, I sit and go back and forth! Well I got a month to decide. What to do. Give your 2 cents, please.
