Super Bowl Sunday...

We were so TRAUMATIZED about
the outcome of the game, that I for forgot...okay, avoided
posting pictures of our family super bowl party.

It's all fun and games until your QB
throws an interception...and your team loses the game :(
Then your world comes to an end....if your eleven!

Houston...HE has a problem!


Joel~There is help out there for your addiction...I hope ;)

Thanks Brett for the 17,000 hours of Lost
that has been seen at our house THIS WEEK.
I found out tonight that he is only on the
second season...with 4 more seasons to go, YIKES :|

Looks like another LOST weekend is in the works for me!

National Pancake Day!

Tuesday, after I picked the kids up from school, I took both of them and a friend to IHOP. They all thought I was kidding about National Pancake Day... They couldn't believe that IHOP would give free pancakes to everyone who came in. Ryan, being ever the pessimist, started complaining about having a four hour wait, but we walked right in.

Our waitress was hilarious, kept us all laughing the entire time ~ the look on Ky's face when she told her that the stipulation for getting free pancakes was that you had to eat them with your hands was priceless! Overall, free pancake day cost me $15 for drinks and tip, but it was well worth it...we had a lot of fun!

I'm not sure who is more excited...


This time next month we will be in California!

The kids have been begging to go back
to Disneyland and Sea World.

They are so excited about all
of the plans we have...that they know about.

Joel and I are more excited about the plans
that they don't know about ;)

I'll post pic's when we get home!

MOVIES!

This month we have seen a few movies....
Here are a few of my favorites :)






They were all good movies, but
Dear John was my favorite!

After posting all of these "chick-flicks",
I realize that it might be time to take my
husband to a "man-movie".... Nahhh.

Have you seen any good movies lately?

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back
and realize they were the big things."- Robert Brault

I saw this on my friends blog, Amy's, and LOVED IT!

I struggle with this all the time...
My kids are growing up too fast and it makes me sad.
However, I do - like everyone else - get caught up
in the day to day activities and need to
slow down and enjoy it them more,
be more patient and less demanding
I need to remember to just let them little....

Indianapolis Colts 17
vs
New Orleans Saints
31

"I don't like the Saints. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, their fans. I hate everything. I think the whole organization and
their fans are classless!"

Oh, wait a minute..... ;)

Joel @ Work

What happens when you put
8 computer geeks together in a room?


If any of you were wondering what my husband
does at ksl.com all day long...We'll this is it!

As per Joel who "tweeted" today --

"Yesterdays work activities included some
Nerf darts at the white board."

As you can see, it's a very hard, technical job and now I
understand why he comes home exhausted every night ;)

We should have known better than to get him the
"Tommy 20" Nerf Gun he wanted for his birthday last year...

My new favorite!

For as long as I can remember I have had sleeping problems... The problem being that I have a hard time falling asleep, awake easily, and once awake I can't go back to sleep. So, after months and months of friends telling me about Melatonin, a natural sleep aid supplement, I reluctantly gave it a try.

I love it!

I don't have any of the grogginess in the morning that I have with other supplements. The one and only side effect I have noticed is that I have really weird, vivid dreams - that can be.....interesting ;) And, as matter of fact, I am on my way to take one right now ~ Good Night!
