About Time!

So I decided that once a week I'll just come into work a bit early, so that I can use a faster internet connection to post. Maybe then I'll actually stay on top of it.

We had a very happy Thanksgiving. We ate a great meal at my moms house and then played games and just chilled. Heidi, Ben, Samantha and Andrew were up and it was SO fun to see Rad and Sam interact.

They were so cute with their little blabber talk. Andrew is absolutely adorable too. We sure missed Jared, Amy and Tavin and hope to see them soon!

I was asked to bring some pies, I made a couple of really yummy black bottom banana cream pies and they looked so pretty! I stuck them in the fridge to stay cold while we waited to head to my moms and when I took them out... Darnet! Our fridge broke at the wrong time! It wasn't keeping anything cold. So they weren't so pretty when I took them to my moms but still pretty tasty.

So while everyone was out shopping for fun Holiday sales, we were at the Home Depot charging up a credit card with a purchase of a new refridgerator. We bought a handleless one so Rad can't get into... I'm so glad because that boy is getting into everything now! Yesterday he learned how to push the ottoman around the house, how to climb onto the ottoman and how to use the ottoman as a step stool to get wherever the heck he wants... ugh. ☺

We decorated the house for Christmas on Friday, it makes the house so cozy. Then on Saturday we painted some of Shayli's bedroom walls PINK, it is PINK too. You walk by her room and there is a faint glow busting out of the door. She really likes it though.

On Sunday I taught all of the YW in my ward about Cultural Arts and Talents. I had Valeri do a short presentation on good book, and she did awesome, she reads some great books! One of my handouts was a little gift and inside was chapstick and a candy bar. My little thought to go along with it was, "Just as we use chapstick to keep our lips smooth, we should exercise our talents so that they continue to be smooth, which will only make life sweeter." Kind of cheesy but the girls liked it. It was a fun lesson, I love the YW.

To end this post here are a couple of pictures of the kidd-o's in their PJ's. Rad is wearing PJ's that Aunt V bought him and Shayli is wearing some footie PJ's that I just bought her. Why don't they make those in my size?

♥ ya all.
