finally!




okay, the computer has finally decided to see my side of the argument and let me post some of our pictures again. we're still working out a few other disagreements, but hopefully we won't have to resort to violence. yes, computer that is a threat.
the boys got suits for Christmas and they just started sunbeams in January.
the other pics are of the boys out enjoying the sun, we can't wait till spring arrives for good

lots of pics

we're still having some issues with our new computer so pics will have to wait, sometimes I am SO tempted to smack my screen upside the head with the keyboard.

Kelly ABC's

I really liked this idea (thank you Cami) so I wanted to try it, too.
A - Attached or Single: Attached, forever and always to my sweetheart, Austin
B - Best Friend: Of course that would be Austin, no one could ever take his place in my life or my heart. C - Cake or Pie: If I had answered this as a child it would have been cake (actually frosting) without hesitation, but now I am finding that pies are a whole new world of yummy delights.
D - Day of Choice: Tuesday or Thursday, they always seem to be my 'down' or 'free' days when nothing is really scheduled and the possibilities are endless.E - Elmo or Barney: I am slightly less annoyed by Elmo
F - Favorite Color: I really love gray right now. It is such a mysterious and gentle color. I love the gray clouds of a storm, there are so many shades of other colors found in them, it's beautiful. Austin says that I've brightened up my dreary goth view of life and traded black for gray.G - Gummi Bears or Worms: Worms are so much funner to eat and slurp.H - Hometown: Salem, UT. I know I didn't grow up here, but it feels like home more than anywhere else I've ever been.
I - Indulgence(s): boxed chocolates (Sees is a favorite, but I'm really not too picky), hot chocolate with LOTS of marshmallows, sitting on the porch and soaking up the sun, walking with no real purpose, reading J - January or July: JulyK - Kids: 3, and they are my greatest joy and trial. I've learned so much about my weaknesses and really been humbled by them, but they are so much fun and their smiles just light up my whole world.L - Life is Incomplete Without: Laughter, it makes all the difference and it's what I pray for most.M - Marriage Date: May 12th, 2000N - Number of Siblings: 2 siblings. That's an interesting story I don't have room or thoughts to get into
O - Oranges or Apples: both, but I hate peeling oranges. P - Phobias or Fears: spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders and spiders (though I have to admit even I cried when charlotte wouldn't answer wilber and he realized that she had passed away) Q - Quote(s): sacrifice is giving up something good for something better before you can see the betterR - Reason to Smile: My children's random acts of kindness to each other, I must be doing something right.
S - Season: Spring and Fall. If anyone knows of a place where it is always green and around 75-80 degrees, let me know I'll pack my bags immediately. T - Tag Six: Amber, Jodi, Sherry, Julie, Alli and Ashley-- you're it! U - Unknown Fact About Me: I am a very private person and I imagine their is a large amount of things that are relatively unknown or even guessed at. So I am not about to dispell that mystique now
V - Vegetarian or other: food is delicious! meat and allW - Worst Habit: Most I'm embarassed about and don't want to share (refer to U). X - X-Rays or Ultrasounds: amazing the technology we have now, it's saved my life.
Y - Your Favorite Food: chocolate cook and serve pudding, I love the skin that forms on top and I love to eat it warm. Z - Zodiac: I'm a Pisces (spacey and artistic) in the Chinese Zodiac I'm a Dragon (spacey and artistic). And thanks to Cami, I found out that in the Celtic/Druid Zodiac I'm an Ash (spacey and artistic). Is anyone else sensing a pattern here.
