TAG

So what's in your wallet?

I thought my church bag was the most random!

My church bag is from Steve & Barry's. I thought it was so cute and reasonably priced!

1. My "Be Prepared" manual and cook book. Plus my clipboard with Be Prepared Modge Podged on the back. Church clipboards are so nasty! Do you think anyone ever cleans them?
2. Black and white grosgrain ribbon
3. More chap stick
4. Box top and Crystal light package
5. Pen and lotion
* I think maybe I should put my scriptures in the bag
My purse:

T.J. Max special (you can tell I am a mom)
1. My sunglasses (not in a case)
2. Batteries! (I always need them)
3. Wallet bulging with Costco receipt's
4. One brown Lego (It goes to the Indiana Jones Lego kit)
5. Large variety of pens
6. Plastic spoon
7. 4 options for chap stick & sample mascara
8. Green calender (it's all I need)

The Diaper Bag



When I had Jarom I decided I needed a fun diaper bag. Steve got me the orange and white LOOM bag NWT on eBay. I bought the brown and blue from Wall-Mart.com. (they never have any cute ones in the store)

1. Diapers and wipes (I guess that's the whole point.)

2. Empty water bottle (they have the small bottles at Costco, you gota love them!)

3. Ointments and clipper

4. Band aids and waterproof tape (a must when you have 3 wild boys)

5. Flash ticket stub (the games are tons of fun for the kids!)

I tag- Heather, Bev, Annette, Joslyn, and Katie

If you don't have kids, feel free to give money to my children's saving plan!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to contribute money other than the old fashion way?

Got a Snowman?


I am seriously bummed out that the biggest snowman I have ever seen melted in the Arctic like 35 degree warm weather we are having! Everytime I would drive to Katie's house I would see this gigantic snowman and it would make me laugh! I have no idea how you can make a snowman that big (I think you need a crane). I loved how Samuel would call it the witch snowman! (he is a funny guy!) How long tell summer!

We are on our way!


These are the new computer cabinets. They are from Ikea and we love them. They are kinda fun to flip up and open (I wonder how long it will take for the boys to break them). We love the hardware especially the hinges. Right now they are the kitchen and computer cabinets. Thanks Steven, he did work on the house along with playing with the kids over New Years.
