I'm one year older and wiser, too! ;o)
These are a few of my favorite things:

Chocolate malts.
Hot, buttered popcorn at the movie with a Diet Coke.
pedicures.
baseball games.
treats.
hot chocolate and toast.
bubble gum.
Hawaii.
White chocolate covered strawberries.
naps.
Target.
cake-donuts.
a good book.
pink.
Shawn.
my boys.
the N. princess.

Point I shall no more...

So I went to the doctor today and he said everything looks good. I don't have to wear the brace anymore. It's a little swollen and tender and it will take a few days to get back to normal. However, if it drops again, I will have to see a hand surgeon for surgery. So please keep your pointer fingers crossed for me, since I dare not cross mine!

Catch-up Five:

1. A good report from the doctor, I could breath a huge sigh of relief!
2. No more brace! I HATED pointing at everything! I am glad it wasn't my middle finger!
3. "Baby Mama"-HILARIOUS! I love Amy Poeler, so I thought it was so funny. If your an SNL fan, you will love it!
4. Two nights out-Friday and Saturday!
5. Two more good books to read from the library!

Initials...

SLS
SSS
JSS
LSS
LJS
JJS

What's up with the use of only 3 letters?
There's 23 other perfectly good letters!
That's a lot of S's, J's and L's! All six of us use only 3 letters in all 3 of our initials. (does that make sense?) I'm so glad none of our kids have first names with an S! Except Sawyer, if you want to count him! (I know you don't, mom!)

Wednesday Five...

1. Landon won his game 4-3. He was goalie for a bit and did awesome. He is such a good little player!
2. Shawn, who rubs my back and neck while I work, (for four hours straight), just kidding!
3. That reminds me of that new SNL sketch that is soo awesome and funny, just kidding, it isn't that funny, just kidding it is, just kidding I really like that girl, just kidding, she sucks, just kidding, just kidding, just kidding.
4. Good bye to Marlee. I'm sad to see her go, but relieved in a way. It got to be a little awkward and I didn't want to see her have to struggle through two dances.
5. "I Survived", on the Bio channel. Has anyone see this show? It is soooo good. But not for the faint of heart, for sure. It's about people who have faced death and survived. It's really good.

10-4.

daddy daughter

I'm not sure this picture captured the sweet moment between daddy and daughter, but it was one of those moments that I wanted to seer into my memory. Shawn has been working a lot lately, UPS and side jobs, and we have really missed daddy! This is at Jaxon's soccer game. Shawn was planning on working, but he took it off to spend with us and we were so happy!

1. kids who adore their daddy.

2. Saturday's together.

3. date night tonight! We went to dinner and a movie with our great friends the Carmacks! We had a great time. We went to Chili's (not so great, and now it's documented for future reference!) and we saw "21". I really liked this movie!

4. kids sound asleep when we got home, though not all in their right beds!

5. putting family first, thanks babe!

B.A.F.

Brag Alert! Five...

1. It will be 7 weeks tomorrow!
2. I put on a pair of pants that I couldn't even get on a while ago and they fit me better than they ever have!
3. I have met my first goal of straight jogging for 1 mile! (which is a lot for me!)
4. I have more energy. wait. could it be that energy drink with 80 mg of caffeine? nah.

5. I feel better.

p.s. you will never read here about how much weight I've lost.
I threw out my scale.
I'm going just on how I feel.
and how my clothes fit.
besides, you'd get dizzy from the roller coaster ride.

ok.
maybe not never.

Also, something funny Jensyn said at dinner. I was telling her that she was going to go to bed early (since she was whining and crying) and she exclaimed:
"STOP ACTING LIKE A STEPMOTHER!"
I was LOL.

Paradise.

Today I went to Paradise. Bakery, that is.
Of course it was awesome (especially the lemon poppyseed muffin, YUM!), but the company was even better! Kelly and her sweet little boy. He calls me "chebby" or "chubby" which is nothing new! I have been called lots of things along those same lines. My favorite one was a looooong time ago when the babydoll "Shelly Belly" came out. I can still remember the jingle because it was sung to me many times a day back then:

"Shelly belly, Shelly belly,
your belly's made of jelly.
Shelly belly, Shelly belly,
your belly's made of jelly."

Ha, ha. very funny. Luckily, it didn't leave a mark on me or anything like that. I hardly even remember. It was only like 25 years ago!


Wednesday 5...

1. 5 o'clock and my husband walked through the door! Yay!
2. 5 dollar Little Ceasars pizza. (pizza! pizza!).
3. -can't forget the breadsticks!
4. Landon's soccer game tonight, with my hubby!
5. Finding my ipod!


p.s. Priscilla has left the building!

Brag Alert!

I think it's so cute because in Lincoln's class if someone starts "bragging" his teacher calls out "Brag Alert!"

So now Lincoln's started doing it, because apparently "bragging" is not allowed.
It makes the kids so upset. It brings them to tears. They even do it to me! This, I don't understand. I mean I do, but at their age?! (sigh.)

Today's Five...
1. I can't wait for this first baseball practice to be over because then Landon will stop asking me every 5 minutes questions about said baseball practice.
2. Snow and sun today. Yes, in the same sentence. Ahhh...only in Utah!
3. Listening to High School Musical on my walk today. Not my choice, but I couldn't find my ipod so I had to take Lincoln's. Luckily, there were some good songs on it.
4. my new vanilla swirl lip gloss. Anyone who knows me, knows I love vanilla.
5. pretzels.
