My funny little Tasia

So obviously since I am the one who stays home with the kids Tasia and I spend ALL of our time together. You never really know how much they pay attention to the things that you say though until they repeat something out of the blue. The other day we went to a carnival at the swimming pool park, and the kids were eating red snow cones. Tasia accidentally dumped hers down the front of one of her new shirts, and I gave her that "uh oh" kind of look to which she responds by saying "It's ok mom. We have Oxyclean!" LOL Yes my child spends too much time with me, and yes I live for Oxyclean because it takes everything out. I just love her and her funny little comments she makes :)

Just thought this was funny...

I got this email today, and just thought it was funny! It just goes to show that you don't be hateful, because some people are 1 step ahead of you and you may turn out to look like the idiot in the end lol


Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce. Her mother had found the perfect dress to wear and would be the best-dressed mother- of-the-bride ever. A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother. Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused, 'Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it,' she replied. Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.' A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, 'Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it. Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.'

Deeter Family

Some of you already know this, but my parents weren't married when they had me and they split up when I was 8 months old because my mom felt that the best thing for me would be to move back to Texas with my grandma. That way she could help her take care of me (my mom was only 17 when I was born). When I was 2 we moved back out to Utah, and a year later my mom met Mike Deeter. He was quite a bit older than her, but he was good to her and me and so they built a life together. Mike had been married previously, and had 2 kids from that marriage (Stephanie and Brian). I loved them, and grew close to them as I got older. Things between my mom and Mike didn't end up working out, so after 10 years of marriage they got divorced and shortly after my parents ended up back together...14 years later!!!! Crazy huh! Anyway...over the years I have kind of lost touch with the Deeter side of my family. Stephanie and I still talked occaisionally, and her oldest daughter Kallie texts me once in a while but that was the extent of it. They all came to my wedding 2 years ago, but still not much communication with them until recently!!! Stephanie, Brian and I have had the chance to reconnect and talk on a daily basis thanks to good old facebook. We were finally able to get together this past weekend for a BBQ. It was my family, Stephanie, her husband and her 2 girls, Brian, his wife and their son Kayden and my step-dad Mike. It was nice to sit and catch up with them. I miss all of them so much, and I hope we can all continue to stay in touch better than we have over the last few years :)

Mama Bear

Syd and one of the little neighbor girls have had some catty ongoing fued the last couple of weeks. Everyday Syd would come home, and I would expect to hear that something had happened between the 2 of them at one point or another throughout the day either at school, on the bus or during the walk home from the bus. It was getting really annoying, but I figured they are pre-teen emotional girls so they were going to have to deal with it on their own. That was until yesterday! Yesterday my daughter walked in holding her cheek. When I asked what happened she proceeds to tell me that the girl had come up to her with some smart ass remarks, and then she punched her in the face!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! So I make Syd tell me 3 of 4 more times exactly what happened as I am staring at this lovely red mark on her face, and I tell her this has gone WAY too far and we are going to have a talk with her and her mother. As soon as I got there her mom knew why I wanted to talk to her (she has heard all the catty crap going on too). She didn't know about the hitting thing, and seemed to be quite pissed at that fact too. I'm not one of those naive moms who thinks their child never does wrong. I know my child had her fair share in all the ridiculous things going on. I just explained to her mom that it had gone too far, and that I don't care if they don't want to be friends but that I'm sure she would agree that whatever it is needs to stop now. They both needed to stop talking crap to each other and they didn't need to talk to other people about each other. Luckily I got a decent mom and she agreed completely! She had had enough of hearing about just like I had. Her daughter did get in trouble for punching my kid (which definitely needed to happen), but they both kind of agreed to either work it out or just leave each other alone!

Turbo Jam

I am considering buying the set of 5 Fat Burner Elite DVD's, and I am just wondering if any of you have tried them. I read the customer reviews on the site, but I don't know those people from adam so I want some input from anybody I do know who has done them. I love to dance, and I know dancing has always been great for my body so I figured it was worth a shot right. Plus it isn't too expensive which is a major bonus!

The photographer (Carrie Miller) had 369 images on our photo CD. She did them all in black and white, colored and edited some to look a little different. She was VERY inexpensive too! She only charged us $22.50 per family. That's insanely cheap I think! I think I will go to her for all our pictures from now on :)

There are so many pics that it's hard to just post a few, so I am going to have to do these in 2 different posts so they don't get completely wacky. I think they turned out really good!
