Hmmm...it's kind of interesting that I haven't blogged since we got the dog, eh? He is a piece of work. He definitely likes to bark! But, he is not the only reason I haven't posted anything! What a...life!? We have moved AGAIN! My dad has joined my mom in Tennessee :). So, we are renting their home from them...it's a way nice home with a yard! Yay! and lots of kids in the neighborhood. The kids switched schools, and have adjusted really well. Any way, besides taking care of the dog, all the packing and unpacking, and taking care of the kids, it's always a challenge keeping up on all the every day chores. ...Heaps of laundry and my fridge...I had 4 open bottles of ketchup! Every time I opened the fridge, I would sigh! I really didn't want to waste the ketchup but it was really bugging me because they were taking up so much room...then it dawned on me...mix them all together. DuH!

Old School!

As we were sitting down to eat Breakfast, Dex told Dev, "You look like you are dressed from the Old School!" I asked him why, and he said because her collar is over her sweater. Then I asked him how he dresses. He said, " I dress from the New School." So, I said, well how do I dress? He hesitated and said, "uuhh, you dress from the NO SCHOOL!" Ha Ha... kids!


Also, we got a dog today! He is a mini pincher. Grandma Harding got a shi tzu and ever since then my kids have been wanting a dog so bad. We looked on Craig's List and found this one for free! So far it is a good dog...we will see!

America The Beautiful

Last night for family night, Dexter was in charge of the song. He chose to sing "America The Beautiful"
I thought, how appropriate for Election Day! Then as we were having our morning scripture study as a family, the chapter we are on happens to be Alma 46...In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children- ...and he called it the title of liberty and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land."
Alma 48:17 " Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever' yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

How neat that we could teach our children these principles today of all days!

Halloween!

My plan was to do the Wizard of Oz! I love when people do themes! Devyn was so excited to be Dorothy! My mother in-law gave Kam a fairy costume that was perfect for a Glinda the good witch! Dex didn't want anything to do with it! He wanted to be something scary! So, I gave in. Maggie was still going to be a lion or scare crow, then I AM the wicked witch of the west, so I was going to dress the part! Anyway, things didn't happen that way. My mother in-law also gave Dex some money to buy a costume, and I decided to save money and use a costume I had for the baby. I dressed as a cowgirl and she was a horse, at our ward party, which was the day before Halloween. Then on Halloween, I was so busy, and so hot! I was sick and Maggie was sick, so I decided not to dress up, and Maggie wore the outfit we brought back from China a couple of years ago...so cute!!
So....here are the pics!

6 months

I just wanted to post about my baby Magdalyn Emma. She is 6 1/2 months old. She rolled over at 4 months, then started army crawling a week later. She could sit up at 5 months and she is now trying to pull her self up to things. I think she is a little early doing these things, but I think it is all out of self defense! You should see how Kam tries to handle her. She has to try to get away as quick as she can!!

Due West Obsessed!

Wake up the Neighbors

So, every one knows by now that I am totally obsessed with Due West. Seriously, listening to their music always makes me feel better! I am not able to make a play list of their songs, yet anyway:), so I am going to post a song each week to share the wealth! Listen while you blog! Maybe you will get addicted too! Happy Due West listening!
