Hmmmm

Interesting...


Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels and I will lead you to the Promised Land." Then about 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land." Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and bankrupted the Promised Land.



Dear Lord,
This year you took my favorite actor, Patrick Swayzie. You took my favorite actress, Farah Fawcett. You took my favorite singer, Michael Jackson. I just wanted to let you know, my favorite president is Barack Obama.
Amen


Just sayin'......

***"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Just give hope a chance to float up - and it will too."

***"A child can fall down and hurt himself, even if his dad is right there beside him. That doesn't mean his dad allowed it to happen. But the child knows with a Father's unconditional love, the Father will pick up the child and carry him and try to heal him. The Father will cry when the child cries. And the Father will rejoice when the child is well. In all the moments of my life, Heavenly Father has been right there beside me. The truth of God's love is not that he allows bad things to happen, it's his promise that he'll be there with us when they do."

***I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicures fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." -Marjorie Pay Hinkley

Talent???

Last night was our ward talent show. Noodle and some of her friends did this little dance to the song "Peanut Butter and Jelly." It was SO cute!! (Noodle is in purple.)

There were several people who signed up and then didn't show up - so we had some time at the end. Lewlew said she'd like to sing "Popcorn Popping." So they threw her in at the end. The way Lewlew and I sing this is: at the the end, we sing "It wasn't really so, but it seemed to me" really slow. And then we sing really fast "popcorn popping on the Apricot tree. Wooo!" It's fun.

At the very end of the video, you'll see a boy doing push ups. He's in Kindergarten and his impromptu talent was doing 100 push-ups - and he did!! His little arms were just shaking.

2nd Place

Buddy went to our Stake Pine Wood Derby last night. He placed 2nd! Yippee for you!!! If you look closely, you'll notice that Buddy got braces - a little over a month ago. The first month he had orange and just last week he got blue.

"Last Song"

Last night I went with some friends to a late showing of "Last Song." Not a bad Nicholas Sparks movie. Liam was yummy to eye candy. Miley, ehh, she was ok. Her tooth kept bugging me. Seriously, I've never noticed her tooth all the times that I've watched Hannah Montana. Maybe because Hannah Montana isn't on the big screen. I don't know. But it bugged me through the WHOLE movie. So did her pouty bottom lip. That's always bothered me. But it really did last night. Nicholas Sparks is not my favorite, but this movie is definitely one of "his" better movies. 2 people we went with have read the book and said the book was much better. But isn't that always the case???? So, have you seen it? What did you think???

Born to be Southern

When Noodle was little, she'd answer questions by saying (with a southern accent) "Aaa dooo." Instead of saying "I do." She'd say a few more words with a southern accent. I don't know where it came from, she did it for a long time and it was cute! Okay, so hold that thought. So I bought "Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock (such a GREAT movie) and the kids and I watched it the other night. Ever since, Noodle has been calling me "Mama" with a light southern accent. So with one word she has her southern accent back. I'm sure it won't last long, but it's cute while it does!
