Which Disney Priness Are YOU?

What with all the gushing about how fab our spouses are... I thought that we could all use a little snicker.

YOu know I love you when....


FYI these are french toasts. I used split top bread and cut the bottom into a point. I am however a pretty good pancake artist. I make perfect "snowballs"!)hardeee har har har.

Okay, so I know where the camera downloader cables are now, but the big computer still doesn't have the Internet (thanks big V for all the super fast service... its only been a month since we moved in!). Hence, NO pictures. I'll describe what I look like just in case you forgot.
  • I weigh 122.5 lbs
  • my hair is lustrous and thick and down to my waist
  • I have unnaturally long legs (like Julia Roberts in Pretty woman)
  • my skin is radiant and clear
  • my fingers and toes are well manicured with little diamonds stuck on them
  • I always have my hair and makeup done, no matter what, rain or shine
  • AND I NEVER WEAR SWEATS ALL DAY LONG

Tomorrow I am going to have lunch with some of the ladies in my old 'hood. I miss them all terribly. I am so excited to see them.

Then when we get home we are all going to ride our bikes to the new Rite Aid that just opened near our house and visit the ice cream counter. The kids have already picked out what flavor they will get. They had to keep their rooms clean for a whole week to qualify for the ice cream. Since I put all their toys in bins in the garage in a HEATED moment it wasn't hard to keep the rooms clean. I will have mint and chip. Thrifty mint and chip is undeniably the best in the whole wide world. Dave will make the standard gagging noise and I will smile knowing all the while I will get to eat the whole thing myself without sharing any of it. Sounds like a wonderful day.

Babies R Us

This is the amazing Mrs. Hyatt, Mr Hyatt is in the picture too but don't mind him he's being replaced. Pete is there too but he's only there for decoration. I snaked this photo from their blog. I'm sure they will thank me later (in cash).
Phoenix is my only boy. Sometimes I wonder how it is that he can be surrounded by so much "girlie" and still be different. He says funny things often. Now he says them to other people too. His current fixation is on farting. He wants to know how to make them smell. That is so cool. He idolizes his dad who can clear a room.


The other day he and Poppy are playing. She is saying that she is going to have a baby. She even has the tell-tale bump under her shirt. She says to him you can't have a baby. He is distraught and hits her a few times. She is smug and says that he still can't have a baby. We have been over a very limited birds and bees with our two 4 year olds it goes something like this.... YOU.BOY.PENIS.....HER.GIRL.VAGINA....boy no baby.....girl baby. I know, so eloquent. I truly should have been a therapist. Just email me and I'll come talk toyour children for a minimal fee. So he is clear on which anatomy it takes to have a baby. I didn't let him watch that OPrah with the wierdo she-man who had the baby, I'm still a little confused over that one. So he is stumped, and he has to figure out a way to have a baby, fast. Then I see the light bulb go off in his puny little buzzed head. He questions Poppy on the daddy, Poppy has plenty of baby daddies this time it was Luke (heads up Team Fackrell). So he announces that he is going to marry Ms Hyatt. Then he will have a baby. And his baby will be bigger than your baby. His baby Laney will be able to tell Poppy's baby what to do.


He misses Mrs. Hyatt and her big baby.
Bet you thought I was going to announce that I was pregnant. Sneaky aren't I?

Heeeyey,
(You've got to say it like a valley girl cause we're in the Valley)
The new house is very nice. The kitchen is almost done, through sheer force of will. That would be Dave's will, not mine.... if you take one look at my ASsets you know that I have very little will power. Anyway Davey has finished the cabinet doors and has made the cabinet faces and made all the shelves. He decided that if Ding dong cabinet dude wasn't going to get it done he would do it himself. What a stud. I would post a picture of my cowboy but I have NNOOO CLUE where the cable to down load from the camera are. So you will have to take it from me that he is as studly as it gets.

I get tickled pink every time I go into Poppy and Lily's room. The walls are the best color pink ever. Not to pink not too peach not to light not too dark. Poppy's bed is darling, I love it. Lily's crib is ghetto-fabulous. The dress form that has been following us around for 3 moves now finally has a place of honor. It holds lovely hats and jewels for the girls. The walls are still a little bare but soon they will be filled with pictures and treasures.

Willows room is a rainbow fairy paradise. It looks soo Willow. The walls are periwinkle and the color is nice. It looks like the room is OHH lalala decorated without a ton of fuss. The furniture is a light green and the bedding is striped with rainbow colors. She also has several 8 foot flowers that seem to say hide and play with me. They bend and move so they are pretty irresistible. She is turning into quite the little girl. Her name suits her more and more each day. I still love it. When you close your eyes and imagine a Willow it's her. What a pretty little thing she is.

Phoenix's room is still somewhere in a box, or still in the big room downstairs at my parents house. He is having cowboys. I found a bed that looked like a covered wagon and soooon I will be trying to copy it. For now he has all he needs with his bed and a few toys.

The kids ride and play all day outside. They try to convince me every morning to ride around the block at 8:00am! They are like a little gaggle birds or herd of some kind. Hair uncombed and blowing in the wind. What more in life is there? Lily rides in the bike trailor behind my bike but I can tell that she wants to be free like a bird with the other kids.

When I find the download cables I'll post pictures of the house. You'll love it. Never know maybe you'll even get invited over for some grub. Loves us

Moving Day

Finally the day has arrived for us to journey to the land of Zarahemla (or roundabout). We will be offline for a while till I get the internet up and running and all the phone lines up. Happy New Year.

NEW POST PLEASE

I know I'm sick of looking at this post too. I've been in a blog rut. With visions of sugar plums dancing in my head it's hard to concentrate on the other things that should get done. We're moving and trying to get Christmas done. Willow had her last day of school and the teacher threw her a surprise farewell party. I'll have to go through the pictures and post one later (she took the camera to school for the party!) Phoenix and Poppy had their last day of preschool too. They too had a party and I supplied cookies. We had the Ward Christmas Party and I (duh) volunteered my mom and I to make tamales for the whole ward. Then if that weren't enough I offered to make beans and rice too. Luckily enough someone else made the rice. You'll have to look at my moms blog to get the scoop on the tamales (Grandma G) she documented it. If I get a chance I'll put some pictures up.
