Happy Birthday!

I'm still laughing from the card I go in the mail this morning from my son, Elder Palmer. That kid makes me laugh everytime I hear from him!

I open what I think is a birthday card, and it ends up being a Sympathy card! He says he hopes the card finds me well, and not reeling from the shock of that tragic day.......turning another year older! Then he precedes to tell me not to forget my friends birthday (which I already have!) because he knows she will show up with a birthday present again this year, and I'm going to look silly! Which......it will happen! It does every year!

How can someone so far away make you smile everytime you think of them? Josh has such a fun sense of humor! I miss that kid! He will be home in four short months......then I'll have to watch my back. I never know when, what, or where it will be coming from! He keeps my senses keen!

Honor Roll Students!!!!

I have to take a minute to brag on my kids! Jace and Lyndsey both came waltzing in the other day with 4.0 report cards! Where do they get their intelligence from? Marty and I may have came close to a 4.0 if we had added our grade point averages TOGETHER! Way to go Jace and Lyndsey!

We attended a 4-H achievement night on Thursday where Lyndsey walked away with the honor of having the 1st place "Swine Portfolio" in Juab County! She also padded her pocket with a little loot! She spent hours getting her portfolio ready to hand in, making sure everything was accurate, neat and in order. Jace on the other hand spent about 15 minutes on his portfolio. I guess little sisters persistence paid off! She'was awarded $25 for her efforts! Good job Lynds!

SNOW! Are you kidding me? I'm not quite ready for this....but bring it on!

Birthday's!

What a fun time we had Saturday! Mom takes me and my sisters each October to celebrate our birthdays....they are all less than a month apart, including mom's. I was the stubborn one.....I waited until November!

We ate at Texas Roadhouse in American Fork.....OH My Gosh! Talk about yummy! and fun! The waiters and waitresses love their jobs! They randomly start dancing in the isles of the restaurant....I thought for a minute we were in a filming of "Coyote Ugly!"

Then of course they had to drag a saddle over to the table and have the "birthday girl" mount up! Mom had went to the restroom, so of course we waited for her to come back, and then Kimberly led the chant "saddle up" and had the waiters, waitresses, and half the restaurant yelling right along side us, complete with fists in the air!

After dinner we headed to the Scera in Orem and enjoyed the music of "Cold Creek". They are awesome, and they were a hoot as well!

Fun, fun, fun....that's all I can say! I would suggest if you haven't eaten at Texas Roadhouse......do so!

Whoo Hoo! I finally figured out how to add a playlist to my blog! It took me a LOT of hours, thanks to my illiterate computer skills, but I finally got it! I don't think I could ever do it again, but I finally got it to work!

It's been a sad day at our house. Our cute little dog Tink, got ran over today and unfortunately, she died. It broke not only Lyndsey's heart, as Tink was her dog, but the whole family is taking this pretty hard. Lyndsey got Tink the very week we moved into our new home, and she's been a member of the family. She had a ferocious bark, but was so darn little that she could scare no one.......not even the cat! We're trying to decide where to bury her. This is harder than I thought would ever be possible. I can't imagine losing a child. I'm afraid they'd have to put me down if that happened, this is hard enough.

Good bye Tink! We love you!

Playlist

I've spent countless hours on the dang computer this afternoon, and into the evening (minus the time watching "Survivor") and I still can't figure out the playlist thing. I wished my hubby was computer literate enough to say...."Oh here. Scoot over, let me add a playlist for you complete with all the Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney songs all ready loaded for you!" Yeah right. That's not gonna happen. I really do need to figure out how to add a play list.......what good is checking out someones blogspot if they don't have good music to listen to while you're there? Maybe I'll have to call an 11 year old to show me how to do it! Good luck to me! It could be into the wee hours of the morning before I get it figured out!

Trying to figure this thing out!

This is going to be an experimental time for me. I have never posted to a blog, I have never kept a journal, and I'm not that good at doing anything with pictures besides throwing them in a box! This seems to be the rage right now.......so I'm taking the plunge! I only hope I can figure out how everyone is adding all the cutesie things to their blogs! I want to be cutesie for a change!
