Leggings? Appropriate or not? I can't decide...
What are your thoughts? So, I'm almost 30. I don't have the perfect body but I like to layer leggings with a long blouse/tunic. A sweet co-worker of mine (who is 10 years younger than me) admitted that leggings are for teenagers and that's it. I love her honesty. But I also like leggings. And my other concern is, are leggings too revealing? Too "Naughty Sandy" from Grease? Do tell.

Some of my favorite things right now.....
Now that it's fall and winter is around the corner, my hobbies are more of the indoor, hibernating kind. I love this time of year! So, as one of my favorite actresses Julie Andrews sang, "..these are a few of my favorite things!
I'm a total GEEK for the Broadway show, "Wicked!" As much as I've been listening to the soundtrack w/the original Broadway cast you would think I was sick of it. I'm not; I love it more and more everytime I listen to it! If you love musicals/Broadway and you haven't checked it out yet, I URGE you to check it out.

I have Netflix (LOVE it!) and I just started watching "Pushing Daisies." The perfect way to describe it is that it's a mix of Edward Scissorhands and Dr. Seuss flavors. Very fun and clever! Check it out if you need a good laugh.
Klint and I LOVE fall! The colors, the air, everything! We tried our best to take cute family pictures and although they aren't traditional, I love them! Here are a few of our favorites from our little photo shoot last month...





It's official. Halloween is our family's favorite holiday. We had such a fun time this Halloween! It was raining cats and dogs, too! This was the first year Jaakson wanted to stay out later to go door-to-door! He was a trooper! They all looked so cute. And by "they" I also mean Klint. Klint LOVES Halloween.



I love candles. My sister brought SoHo Living candles to my attention. Vanilla Flower and Vanilla Truffle are amazing! AND they last forever...
Reading! What would I do without reading late into the night?! It's the only time it's quiet and I get my "Me" time. I finished a few easy read my Mom lent to me but now I have nothing left! Suggestions please! The last good novel I read was "Rebekah" from the Women of Genesis series and "Enchantment," both by Orson Scott Card.
Amish Friendship Bread. Amazing!!! I finally got a starter bag from my friend a month ago and begged my sister to give me one of her starter bags. It's that good! Here's a link to a good recipe for the starter: http://www.food.com/recipe/amish-friendship-bread-and-starter-153 *NOTE: instead of a bowl, use Ziploc gallon bags! Stick to the 10 days!!! It's worth it!
Bigfishgames.com. I'm a TOTAL PC nerd during this time of year. I'm borderline Hermit. This site has fun, cheap games that range from easy to challenging. PLUS, you can play any game for an hour before you buy it. This is another thing I do if I don't have a good book to read at the end of the day.
Oh! How Fall, how I love thee! I could go on and on but I'll spare you. What are you looking forward to this fall/winter?

Long time, no talkey!











Procrastinator extraordinaire! Life has been really good to us this summer! We went to the pool a few times, a couple parades, camping twice, rodeo in Nephi, salsa dancing in SLC, 2 buck Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point, the drive-inn theater off Redwood Road (our favorite!), the movie theater, lots of trips to the parks, a few great dates, fishing, lots of playdates, and etc. Now we move onto Jaakson starting kindergarten ("Bye Mommy!") and Shae becoming fully potty-trained ("Don't potty on the Princess on your undies, Shae!). So sad summer's over but the best is yet to come! We love fall and the holidays that follow!

Whomever invented arm floaties is a genius!!!

Oh! and I love the Dollar Store for selling them there! Once I put those floaties on Shae, she was happy as a clam! If I even tried to steer her around or keep her from bobbing too much she's grunt and try to wobble away in the water! But I had so much fun watching her enjoy her newfound freedom! Jaakson loved his Toy Story ring from the Dollar Store, too. Klint recently taught Jaakson how to go underwater, too!... my kids are getting so big! *sniff*

Early birthday present...
A couple posts down you may have read about my unfortunate situation with a family member. I just wanted to share with you the good news of the events that have transpired since I made that post! All of your comments were so thoughtful and encouraging! I just wanted you to know that a couple weekends ago on my birthday, against all believable odds, this person showed up at my apartment to give me a birthday card and gift certificate! I was seriously shocked but SO happy! It easily made my birthday a far better celebration! My sister was visiting from out of town and we'd stayed up talking the night before, including my husband. I had mentioned that if this person would even show me the smallest act of good faith or any proof that she was sorry I would welcome it with open arms! After a long talk, tears, a few laughs, and a lot of hugs we understood each other a lot better and I learned that it's more important to show those you love how you feel, rather than just tell them. Words aren't enough- especially when we all have insecurities to overcome. I know how much God wants us to love each other and help each other. This experience has helped me know that once we do all we can that it is possible for the Lord to help sort out the rest. So, the plan is we're starting fresh and are committed to having better communication and honesty in our friendship! Wish us luck! Thanks again for all your kind words of encouragement!
Life is good, isn't it?

We love visiting St. Jorge!!!
Sister's night out! We went to a grill/poolhall/club in Cedar by SUU called Toadz, I think? It was fun to get out with my sisters and shake a tailfeather! We had a blast!
