Sunday Fun

So- I just wanted to document how we spend our conference Sunday's when I got distracted by the background of this photo:

Look it! Every picture on our wall is super crooked. That is not on purpose. It is true, there is a lot of wrestling that goes on in our home, but yikes, boys, really.
Conference was amazing. At least the parts that we heard.
Which leads us to our main problem. We don't have cable. Or satellite. We have a sweet mac that streams in conference for us. Here was the problem:

We would hear Elder Hales, I think it was Hales, say
"and the neighbor girls came over to teach us how to jump rope...[2 minute pause]...and they would sing...[2 minute pause]..."
"Sing WHAT?" Audrey yells.
"Why does it keep pausing?!"
The frequent pausing didn't affect everyone:

This picture taken during the first Sunday session. I just bought Christian a new pillow that is supposed to bring pleasant dreams. It works pretty well!
We're going to have to read the other sessions in the Ensign, I think.
Personal Highlights that I was able to catch:
President Monson's uplifting talk about finding joy and gratitude daily.
Elder Ballard saying we are not being asked to cross the plains, we are being asked to cross the street, to visit our neighbors.
Elder Hales saying opposition gives us opportunities to share truths.
Lawrence Corbridge's talk, the whole thing, because it was all statements of truth, one after the other.
Sis. Dalton had the cutest black bow shirt that I've ever seen, and reminded us to stand in holy places and seek after good things.

This is Peanut.

I think she is a hamster. She is visiting us for the weekend from Josh's 3rd grade classroom.

She is gentle and chubby and brings giggles and joy to Nick & Josh.

FYI Family,

If I die of a heart attack, I'll save you the time of seeking an autopsy on me by just telling you what clogged up me old heart:

Maybe you can sue Breyer's for making the best ice cream ever. Gotta be rocky road. Or chocolate mint, I've eaten enough chocolate mint to take a good decade off of my life.


If I continue on the 1 Reese's a day path for like the next 60 years, I will surely die prematurely.


If you want to try to sue Costco for making me eat too many churro's I say, do it.


Also, how about those devils that put some kind of addictive drug in Krispy Kreme Doughnuts?
I know, it's evil. Thank you, city where I live, for not having a Krispy Kreme store.

This is what happens in a car full of boys:

*notice poor Nick B. in the back left. He's trying to read.

Guess who won the last 2 eBay auctions?
Yes me. Our mail carrier is going to be my NBF for a while.

(New Best Friend)

Yeah, what if some of the shoes don't fit. Good point...

History has shown however, that I am a consistent size 9 in this particular brand of shoe. All of the shoes that I "won" are the same brand. The only potential issue is width. I can't wait to get them and see!

I've got 9 hours left and 13 hours left on the last 2 pairs of shoes that I bid on. I think this is it for me, as far as needing new shoes goes. Except seriously, check these out:

I know. The cuteness. The details. The color. Please don't bid on these, I want/need these babies. And this is the last pair. Then I am done, seriously, done getting shoes.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I am not kidding. I won these today on eBay. These are the babies that I've would have sold out all the other shoes for. And I won! This is the most amount of shoes that I've ever had ever. Check these out! I know. I've only got 2 more shoes in the bidding line for me to see if I won them or not.
