Halloween 2008

Kylie was in her costume then took it off. She loves that pink dress she is wearing-which she calls a "lala" (who knows). Anyways that girl has a mind of her own and I had to try many tricks to get her to wear her costume. Finally she wanted her Aunt Jana and Grandma Hutchison to see it on her so she put it on.

The other day, I had been frustrated with Logan and Kylie. After getting in the car and cooling off, I told the kids I was sorry for being so grumpy with them. I thought Logan would say "that's ok mom"-but instead he said, "Mom, do you think you could try harder to not get so mad at me and Kylie?" Well there you have it. It is nice to be reminded that I should watch my temper and "try harder". Let's just say the rest of the day was a bit more peaceful than in the morning.

I've been tagged...

I am supposed to write down 7 interesting things. So here goes...

1-I used to play softball in high school and college. I love that sport. While I was practicing throwing the ball with a friend, I was too into my conversation to notice the ball was coming straight to my face. The ball hit me smack in the nose and it broke(my nose-not the ball). I went to the Dr. and he told me I needed it fixed ASAP. It was the middle of softball season and I didn't want to miss it, so I waited til after it was over to get my nose fixed. Three days after my surgery, I decided to go to a church function(against my parents' will). While I was there, a friend came up to me and for some odd reason, pretended to hit me, although she really did hit me-in the NOSE of all places. So I went home and new my parents would be so mad at me. The nice job the Dr. had done on fixing my nose was ruined. I had to go have another surgery and get it fixed. The Dr. was so mad and said it would never be straight again-and it's not, but I don't think it is too noticeable.

2-I think I have mentioned this before, but I have a thing for feet. I cannot stand them to be dirty. I do not even like it if my kids feet are dirty. There are many days when I will put my
kids feet in the tub at the end of the day just to clean them off.

3-I love Hawaii and anything that is tropical. I love Mango drinks, Rumbi's, and the Hawaiian restaurant L&L. I am not too much a flower person, but I do LOVE Plumeria flowers. They smell so good.

4-I took piano lessons for 7 years. I have not ever played since. I just get too nervous playing in front of people and that was enough to make me stop. I think it is a talent I should've kept up with.

5-I really enjoy watching the Denver Nuggets play basketball. I so would love to buy season tickets someday.

6-I graduated from BYU in Recreation Management. Not many people know that so I thought I would add that in here.

7-I have met a few famous(or well known) people in my life. I met/saw the red head hostess from trading spaces (can't remember her name) at the Cheesecake Factory downtown. I have met Bruce Jenner (I think he is a runner). Met Rich Karlis who used to be the kicker for the Denver Broncos. And when Logan was about 9 months old, our friend invited us to her parents ward for her baby's blessing. It just so happened that her dad is/was the Bishop of President Hinckley's ward. So we went and it worked out that her family and us, sat in the front row. Jon, Logan and I sat right in front of Pres. Hinckley. Talk about feeling nervous in Sacrament mtg. It was all I could do to keep Logan quiet and sitting still. Jon finally had to take Logan out because he was being so fussy. We never got to meet him, but it was fun to see him in a real life setting.

different kinds of "art"...

(Parental Discretion Advised)


Logan loves to draw these days. It is so fun to see what his imagination comes up with! He has drawn things from houses to pirate ships to this....

He said it was somebody going to the bathroom. interesting huh? Jon and I tried not to laugh, but couldn't help ourselves. Then Jon and I told him he shouldn't be drawing that kind of stuff. Thought I would post it though just to remember for the future.

Then last night I went to my sister's for a craft night. She invited all her sister-in-laws and me over and this is the "art" we made...

It was so easy and just nice to have a girls night out. I love easy projects you can finish in a short amount of time.
