Cake Fight...

Tracy Peart started a cake fight at her own party. Erika told me to watch her back, but when things got bad she was nowhere to be found...so Danny and I quietly waited for her to come out of the bathroom and we chocolated her...LOL That is what she gets for not watching our backs! It was a great party! Tracy seemed so much happier. You could also feel Sean with us. Luckily we couldn't hear him LOL, there was chocolate cake EVERYWHERE! He would have had a fit! 

I sure love Tra and am so lucky to have her as my BFF!

And because of Tra, Danny and I also have Scott and Erika Atwood as BFF. What a great support group for each other, but keeping Tra out of trouble is almost impossible LOL.  We miss Sean so much. I still have so much trouble believing he is really gone.

Can't get enough babies...

 We started out watching Auctober @10am.
 Then Danny showed up with Roman Sorensen about 2pm
 The girls had fun taking them for a walk.

My Romanator
My cutie pie!
Then Lilly came after the other two left. Mckenna and I watched her why her parents went rock climbing with the rest of my family. It was Shelby's birthday :)
 She sure is a good baby :)

The newspaper dress...

The Young Women made newspaper dresses. This was Taisha's.
I thought, when she took off the bottom skirt part, it looked like a suit of armor
 LOL 
So she looked tough and ready for battle.
The skirt had little paper flowers. I thought it turned out quite cute.

Now I want one.

Snowflakes...

Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling gently on a winters night.
Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

Men Are Just Happier People

NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.  If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and WWWildman


EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50.  None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.


BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337.  A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.


FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.


MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.


DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.


NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


OFFSPRING
Ah, children.  A woman knows all about her children.  She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes.  There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

Two Pitch Rock Climbing St. George...

Danny and Taisha were both excited and nervous to do this two pitch climb for the first time. It took awhile to find, but we did it. I didn't get any pictures of the climb :(  :( because the minute we got there, I had to turn around and go back to the car with McKenna who had developed a bad headache on the way there. :( I would have left them in the car (we could kind of see it from where we were), but there was a weird guy hanging around all by himself and we were the only people out there.

Taisha and Alisha
Poor McKenna. She is a trooper.
