Happy Birthday, Beemaw!

so, today is my mom's birthday. yep, she turned 29. no, wait..that's me that will be 29. lol! anyway. we had surprise birthday party for her at kiroli park last saturday. her boyfriend, ray, had a blast cooking that up for her. i didn't get a picture of her cake. it was too cute. if i find someone who did, i'll post it. it had a harley davison on it...too cute. jay and cora had so much fun at the park, and jay always has fun playing with his new friend, ray.then today my mom and ray brought their new four wheelers, and we wrote those for awhile. it was fun. i had forgotten how much fun it was. when i was younger we use to go mud digging all the time, but in my old age..i don't do so may footloose and fancy free type things. cora was not interested in riding. that surprised me because she loves riding on the mower, but jay LOVED it. here are some pictures:

you go huckabee

now, i'm not saying i'm supporting this guy, i really have not been keeping up with the primaries much...west monroe ward's primary is enough for me to keep up with! haha....but i thought this was an awesome response by govenor huckabee on the discussion of evolution. enjoy!

men and women

this made me laugh. as most of you know i stuggle with my weight..and the fact that i can't loose any, so this picture was pretty funny to me. i go to the gym everyday, and you can totally see this in men and women. even the flabbiest man will walk around like the king of fittness, but even the perfect bodied women seem unsatisfied. life is funny, eh?

my little brownie cook

it's been awhile since i've posted a blog. i've just been too lazy to sit at the computer long enough to write something about myself! i can't believe it is thursday again already. where'd the week go? seriously. loosing monday to a holiday just throws my whole week off.

well i wanted to blog about the awesome swing set we got. it's little tykes. we found it at a garage sale and my mom got it for her grandbabies...and they love it. the people we got if from kept it under a pecan tree, which we all know is a no no. it was pretty filthy. but alittle bleach, comet, and elbow grease got it good as new!

yesterday the missionaries came over to eat. and i have a new brownie recipe, so cora and i made brownies. i didn't think she'd be a good helper in the kitchen, but she was underfoot and driving me crazy. so, i put her little butt on the countertop, and let her help. she loved it. you should have seen her unwrapping the chocolate squares and putting them in the bowl then wadding up the papers, then she helped me dump all the measuring cups and spoons. we had a bit of a mess to clean up afterwards, but it was worth it to keep her happy for a few minutes. and jay, of course, enjoyed the beaters.

well, today is a blah day. the kids are napping...well, almost, and i've got some house work to catch up on. fun stuff. i'll try to get better at this blog thing. happy thursday!
