Have you heard who's a Mormon?

Saturday, July 19, 2008

Just kidding. Mr T is not a Mormon that we know of. We just found this button really funny and wanted to share it. You can continue the rumor if you wish. Soon Mr T himself will hear the rumor and that tiny gospel seed will be planted. I pitty the fool who don't find that amusing.

But then again Eva never eats like this...

A good dog

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Those of you that ever spent time at Nate's parents house were probably fortunate enough to meet Rocky. Rocky sadly passed away this week due to complications from old age. He was a very sweet and fun dog for the past 12 years. He was always very good with kids even when they would pull his hair or play rough with him. He loved his blankets (those few of you who have seen it know what I mean). He was mostly potty trained (unless Mom & Dad got new furniture or carpet). Just an overall good dog. We'll miss Rocky. We know there is a special place in dog heaven for Rocky just like there is in our hearts and memories.

Haircuts!

Friday, June 13, 2008

So Gretta and Eva went to get their haircuts today. See if you can tell who like their haircut better ...
Anyway what was supposed to be a fun mommy daughter date turned into:
"Sob sob ... I don't like short haaaiiiir ... sob sob ... I just want princess haaaaiiiir ... sob sob"
After an afternoon of complementing Eva on her hair, she is finally starting to get used to it and isn't sad anymore.

P.S. - please write Disney and tell them we need more short haired princesses.

I think I went a little overboard!

I started making hair bows for a cute cheap gift and so my girls would look cute at church on Sunday; I think i went too far. We almost never leave the house without a clip in our girls hair and even if we tried to, I don't think Eva would let us. She loves to have a flower in her hair and one of her favorite things to do is to pick out which one she is going to wear that day.
Why two little girls would need over 65 hair bows and flower clips I'm not sure. But I think my bathroom is starting to look like a bad Trading Spaces episode where Hildie stapled thousands of silk flowers to someones master bathroom wall.

Backyards are fun

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Thank you economic stimulus package! What do you do with a cool grand from Uncle Sam? We decided we'd work on our backyard (it's really more of a sand box with the occasional rusty nail). So we first decided to put in a patio.



We're living the dream now. BBQ three times a week. We also put in a little play area for the girls. We got some rubber bark from Lowe's. If you're not familiar with rubber bark; it is made from recycled tires and works really well. It doesn't fade, insects don't like it, it doesn't get hot in the sun, and it doesn't float away. We highly recommend it.


After all our hard work our backyard looked so awesome that this turtle stopped by to check it out. Eva found this little guy in the backyard. She said "A TURTLE!! A TURTLE!!" and Gretta and Nate were like "Yeah right Eva". But sure enough there he was. Actually the backyard is probably only 1/3 of the way done. $1000 only goes so far. So here's hoping for more recession next year and another check from the government.
