Priceless Happenings

I saw this on my friend Trina's blog and thought it would be fun! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2- What I create will be just for you. 3- It'll be done this year. 4- You have no clue what it's going to be. The catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

Today we went as a BIG family to the Draper Temple Open House. Del's parents, Cheryl, Steve and my sis Liz and their families all went, 22 people. Since Mom and Dad were able to park closer to the temple we were actually seperated. Steve, Julie, Emma, Mom & Dad were able to go through a little faster than we did. We had to be bused over to the temple and didn't arrive until about 7pm. When we did get there it was dark so I was unable to take pictures. I've found a few on the news webpages to share. The Celestial Room...Isn't the ceiling beautiful??? The Baptismal Font My favorite room, the Garden Room. It made me feel like I was actually in the mural. I loved that there were so many animals to be found in the paintings....Elk, mountain goats, a cougar. Amazing and all handpainted. The temple was so beautiful. What a huge blessing to live where there are so many and to especially be able to take part in an Open House. The last open house I went to was fo...

Well, we were finally able to go and get a new family picture done. We haven't haven't had a new picture since Seth was just a few weeks old. We decided to do a casual picture this time round. I have to tip my hat to Del and the older boys for being such troopers. We went to Kiddie Kandids, where I normally do the little kids pics. It was a smaller sitting area so those long legs got a little cramped. The pictures turned out cute though. Seth would not smile to save his life. He just did a cute little pucker. When we were finished, he finally decided that he was going to smile and laugh. Little turkey!! After pictures, we headed over to Marie Callendars. Adam turned 17 yesterday and we have a tradition that the birthday person gets to pick a place they want to go for dinner. We had a lot of fun despite the rain. When I left for work, Del and the boys were braking out the Wii and getting ready for a night of fun. I am bummed that I missed it. Del called me around 1...

I saw this on my friend Rick's Blog and couldn't resist adding it to my own. I had a pretty good chuckle....Enjoy! Why, Why, Why, Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money? Why does someone Believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? If people evolved from apes, Why are there still apes? Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? Is there ever a day that mattresses Are not on sale? Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?...

I am so excited.....tonight I have come to a new area of wonderful technology. I am now writing this segment of my blog on my wonderful new laptop!!! Del and I have been pricing,comparing, discussing, talking ourselves out of, pricing, comparing....you get the picture. We finally decided today that I get my laptop. It is a Dell Studio 1537. I am mainly going to be using it for school but am excited to find that I can go wireless at work. It has been so much fun. I already bugged the help desk at work. I told them that I was sorry to bug them with my personal computer stuff but wanted to make sure that I was doing things right. The guy was so awesome and didn't mind helping me one bit. Woohoo.....we'll see how things go. Our little family also decided to get a new Wii system. I am excited because I splurged and got the Wii Fit. We'll see how "fit" I get. Josh and Adam started this craziness when they mentioned purchasing a Wii together with their cousi...

We had so much fun on New Years Day catching up with old friends. Jen and I were able to keep in touch with a few of the missionaries who served in Ohio my senior year of high school. I think they were really influential in helping Jennifer to serve a mission. It's been about 9 years since they we were all together (mine and Del's wedding). We have all agreed that it will not take 9 years to get us all together again!! Our little group..Jason & Shari Ott, Cretia & John Tinsley, Jennifer & Paul Dunn, Kim & Delwyn Price and Scott Lazerson Kim & Scott Lazerson Shari & Jason Ott John & Cretia Tinsley Another cool thing, I don't have a picture but my friend Scott Black, who also served in Columbus Ohio Mission, and his wife Shawna were able to attend Zoe's baptism. He and I are more like brother and sister than we are friends. He and his companion, Charlie Lynch, really helped me get reactive when I was married before. I love them both to d...

Isn't my girl beautiful :) Zoe with Del Zoe and Daddy My how they grow. I can't believe my little Zoe has been baptised! It seems like she is still too little to be 8. Our day started off really great. Since Aunt Jen and family had another niece getting baptised that morning, we were able to schedule Zoe's for 1pm. it was nice to be able to relax in the morning and let everyone take their time getting ready. We were very fortunate enough to have so many family and friends join us for Zoe's special day. I know that my nephew Jake and my Dad were both there. What a wonderful feeling to know that Heavenly Father allows those that are with him to visit us every now and again.
