Happy Easter

Andi made me post. This is all i had at work.

Dead Puppies

Ari and Nico wants a puppy for Christmas. Nico says he wants a puppy named baby chihuahua , I don't think he cares that it is a chihuahua he just wants to call it that. John refuses, and I can't blame him. John said no, and Ari thought he was being tricky and said that he will get one any ways, he will just tell Santa to bring him one. John told him that Santa can't bring puppies, that it is to cold and they die in the sleigh, so Santa can't bring puppies. He bought it and knows he can't have one. Nico on the other hand, doesn't buy it. He keeps telling us, "Santa said Yes!" He asked Santa for one anyways, and I guess this guy said yes. I think he is going to be said, I might have to buy one of those breathing stuffed animals. Luckily we are babysiting Emily Shakes new chihuahua in January for a week. I think I want a puppy for Christmas to, but I don't dare tell John.

Mac & Cheese

Coco Has been sick. We spent last Saturday at the doctors doing breathing treatments. I hate it when my kids are sick, but there is something so sweet about a two year old with a raspy voice, who just wants to cuddle. After getting a shot of steroids and a good nap, Coco woke up and felt much better. He was hungry and wanted Mac & Cheese in a big bowl. I went through every bowl in the house, untill he approved this one.
Sick kids can get whatever they want to.
This is my new-old couch. Raul from San Jose Upholstery did a really good job, (is slc, so you don't get confused). I have had this couch for about 8 years now, it has moved with me up and down 45 flights of stairs over those years, and the whole time I have lifted this beast I knew that it would someday be beautiful. And I think i finally is, now I just have to make the rest of the room beautiful. (And sweep under the couch)

Star Wars Nerds

Ari the Tie-fighter Pilot. Thanks to a figurine that Morgan gave us. John did such a good job on the costume, he made the box in front really lights up and he made it out of pvc pipe and bondo. The boots are just shoes with vinyl glued to them. I need to get closes up so you can see what a good job John did.
Jedi Luke Nico, as he likes to say it. I can't believe how stoked he is on his costume. He was so set on being Jedi Luke, I tried to convince him of being a different Luke (a chubby three year old in all black can look pretty funny, I wanted to protect his feelings), but he wouldn't have it, he would say "no! Jedi Luke, two boots one glove". So there you have it.

Baby Needs Cigarettes

Saturdays War Protest, Ari made his own sign.

This woman wants to be Miss Utah, she wants to have her picture taken with children and uses the f-word a lot.
Ari made this sign also, we couldn't figure it out, I think he was trying to copy a ron paul sign (kim you should be proud).
After a long day of protesting (which really ended up being a nice peaceful walk from the capital to the courthouse, I can't believe how many hoops you have to jump through to do something like this, did you know a stick to hold a sign is considered a concealed weapon?)
Nico fell asleep, and became a stand for people to pick up the Mormon Worker. It is a paper that my siblings and friends have been working on, it is pretty interesting, and has gotten a really positive response from the Salt Lake Tribune and the Washington Post. I am proud of them. There website doesn't seem to be working, but please let me know if you would like a copy.

I heart my mom

I just want to say I love my mother. She schedule time with me on her calendar a month ago to come over on Oct. 19th. And she did come, and it was worth the wait. She helped me clean the boy’s room. She taught me all the tips like make the boys clean their room before they go to sleep, and they will not only sleep better, they will want it clean. I wish she had taught me this as a child, because I am afraid that I am becoming addicted to sleeping pills, and I do not want to clean my room at all. It was a lovely day, I love my boy’s room and just like to lay in it and look at all of the good kid stuff.





Kind of creepy but hot.

If anyone is stuck within 200 miles of my mom she will come and pick you up, that is just the type of person she is. I want to be just like her. (If you are stuck somewhere you might have to pay for the gas, I am still not as well to do as my Mom.) So I got to got to Pocatello Idaho to pick up some of Cory’s stranded friends. I guess the good people of Idaho don’t like to give rides to hitchhikers. I kind of understand, they kind of did stink. I just like that I got to spend time with my Mom two times in one week.
