My Tag Bag.....Temple Clothing Bags

We found the CUTEST bags ever at Swiss Days. They're called TAG BAGS . They are marketed as Temple clothing bags, but can be used as travel/garment bags as well. I bought one for myself and some others for Christmas gifts. I think Katie and I were asked more than a dozen times where to get/find those. I'll almost guarantee the Tag Bag booth was completely sold out by noon. Good news though, go to their link and you can order your own if interested.

P.S. The website only shows a few of the styles and colors that were sold at Swiss Days. There was a bigger selection to choose from.

Swiss Days & Park City, Baby........

The FAB 4 plus 2 more......Myself and 5 of my friends had a great girls trip to Park City and Swiss Days this weekend. It was NYC on a smaller Utah level. An overnight excursion is just what we all needed. Thanks to Katie, Natalie, Amy, Lori and Kris.

(Just don't ask us how much money we all went through......it's not pretty)

Peach Pie anyone.....

My sister-in-law gave me a whole bunch of peaches last Saturday. So what do you do when you have a whole bunch of peaches, you make "Peach Pie". I also made peaches and cream ect..... Anyway this is a stellar example of a post of my not-so-interesting life. Besides I told Ellie I'd post a pic of my pie. FYI my kids loved it!!

This is kinda funny.....

Quote of the day:

Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So - if you give her crap, you will get a bucket full of sh#t.

(Thanks Kent and Sandy)

Back to school baby.......

SO, it's the first day back to school. I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but.......I don't want summer to end!!!! I miss those messy little buggers already. Oh well, I still have my #4, my baby!!!

Weber State 3 on 3 Tournament.....

My #2 had quite the busy Saturday. His La Roca team started their season with 2 games in the morning, then he competed in a 3 on 3 tournament at Weber State. His team took 2nd place. Good Job, dude!

Welcome back....

My Ellie is finally back from her vaca!!! How I missed her so...... Too bad she brought a little "Montezuma's Revenge" back with her! But I am wondering if she woke up one morning in Mexico and wondered "Why am I covered in feathers"? By the way Ell our shirts came in the mail today. They're HOTT!!!

New Logo and Blog Header....

Here is the new CrossFire logo for our boys U8 soccer team. Practices seem to be going well. My husband just finished up with his license/coaching classes. The season is set to begin on Sept. 10th. Looks like we are on our way to a great first season.....

We are the Champions.......

Congratulations to my #2's La Roca soccer team. They took first place in this years Adidas Cup. My #2 was sick all but one of the tournament games. He battled through the sickness and played his best. Good Job, buddy. The virus has now spread to the rest of my boys and it SUCKS!!!! No Lagoon today boys, maybe tomorrow.

I have updated the La Roca blog (cause I have so much time on my hands LOL), next will come the CrossFire blog.

Thanks to Tiffiny for the Adidas Cup pics. For some odd reason I forgot my camera. That is soooo unlike me!!! That will not happen again........

Self inflicted.......but loving it!!!!!

Blogging......either your into it or your not. I will admit I have my dry spells, but lately I like to post about the mundane happenings of my not-so-interesting life. I knew when Ellie and I agreed to be the "Team Mom's" for our boys U8 CrossFire soccer team that it would eventually include a blog. Well the time has finally come. I also thought it would be great to open a blog for my other son's U10 boys La Roca team. So now I am the proud blogmaster for two boys soccer teams. Of course Ellie will help me with the CrossFire team.

So I've added them as blog buddies. For right now they are open blogs, but as soon as I post pics, names, schedules ect. they will become private. It looks like I better start enjoying blogging a whole lot more.....

Oh yeah my #1 started a blog a while ago I just forgot to add him to my blog buddies list. Anyway happy blogging.........

Feathers????

I just ordered me and my Ellie a couple of these babies!!

My Little Sickie.....

Here are two pics of my little sickie. I took him to the doc yesterday cause I was worried he had strep, but it was a negative. He'll be fine, but isn't he the cutest thing ever. My bugman gathered all of his stuffed animals and placed them around my little sickies head......oh how sweet!

We are the Champions.......

Well finally this busy week has come to an end. My boys did great at their soccer tournaments. My #2's team only lost 1 game, however the way the tournament was scored/decided they weren't able to play for the championship. That sucks......but whatever.

My oldest boy did AWESOME!!! His team went undefeated and took the Championship!!!!! Way to go guys!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

I told my CeCe (#2) that he should of been born in the year 2000, then he would of turned 8 on 8/8/08. Instead he turned 9 today. Then the thought ran through my head that I was pregnant in August of 2000. Pregnant with (#3) my bugman. They are only 16 months apart, what in the h#!@ was I thinking. I wasn't that's the point.

Anyway.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Check out his new bike. Fresh from his dad's bike shop (Biker's Edge). This week has been crazy. Two of my boys in two different soccer tournaments. The birthday boy did awesome today, his birthday must of brought his team good luck. Go LA ROCA!!!!! My #1's team is doing great as well. Neither one of them have lost a game yet. Go OFC!!!!!

Tomorrow will be a challenge. Possible 4 games between the two of them. Holy Cow what have I signed up for?!? It will only be me/myself/I at the games (+ my 4 boys), but I can handle it. Remember I'm turning into quite the independent woman!!!!

Whoa Baby......

I've been meaning to post about this all week, but "Breaking Dawn" took precedence. Anyway.......every year we always seem to have hornet/wasp problems at our house. At anytime in the summer months you can find hives all around my house and yard. This year in particular seems to be worse than others. Luckily we have had only one "sting" that I know of. It always seems to happen on pool days, and never to my own kids.

So last Friday we found close to 10 hives around our sandbox, swingset, playhouse ect. They were very mature hives with lots of wasps/hornets. We went through 3 cans of insect spray that day. As we were searching for more nests we stumbled upon the mother of all hives hanging in a tree. It is at least as big as two football's put together. Inside were these hornets/wasps that were black and at least double their normal size. Holy cow......I've never seen anything like it.

The next day I went on bug patrol again and found five more start up hives and the big black hornets were starting another hive in almost the same spot. But no worries.....I'm on definite exterminator patrol......my house will be a safe place to visit. Anyway we've decided to keep the hive for future show and tells and science projects.

The End....(Slight Spoiler, read with caution)

I thought I would be writing a plea to Stephenie Meyer on why the (Twilight) series should continue, but I'm not. The final book wrapped up exactly like all "happily ever after" stories should. I didn't cry once, not until the very end. One day hopefully, I will get my "happily ever after".

P.S. Now ya never know if she'll write a prequel.......Midnight Sun anyone???????

P.S.S. I am so tickled that my name is in the book, different spelling, but still the same. (I just had to get a small ounce of fame out of the book, that's the fanatic speaking)

I'm really not a fanatic.......

So I changed my music playlist. Can anyone even give a guess as to why? If you can, feel free to leave a comment. Only true "fanatics" would know the real answer/reason. JUST AN FYI.......I'm really not a fanatic. But acting like one is just too much fun to pass up. Life is too short.......have a little fun!!!!

I have no problem at all admitting this........

I have absolutely no problem admitting this. I went at exactly 12:01 a.m. Saturday August 2nd, 2008 to my local Deseret Book Store and picked up 2 copies of "Breaking Dawn". I know, I know.......it seems a little fanatical......but I'm just being me!!
And I quite like who I am, so there!!!! I pre-ordered them so I was in and out in a jiffy. I purposely cheesed it up for the camera :)

After my slick in and out I traveled up to my Ellie's house and stuck her copy in her mailbox. And here I am blogging about the whole thing!!! Now I'll just read one chapter then hit the hay.

My Independance day.....

I have a profound knack to underestimate myself. But sometimes doing something out of ones comfort zone allows for growth. So Wednesday of this week I did just that. I decided that I would load up my kidlets and travel up to Morgan. Morgan County Fairgrounds that is. Ellie and her bandwagon were going up there for the MX races. Her 7 year old was racing and her Hubby was a sponsor at the event. So I thought what the heck, why don't I take my 7 year old up there to race as well!!!!

It's never that easy to just pick-up and do something like that. My husband was at scout camp with my oldest. So how would I manage the whole operation?????

Well let me tell ya, I did........It began with borrowing a hitch from Ellie. Next came the snack trip to Wal-Mart. Followed by taking a 4 bike (bike rack) off the back of my Denali. It was mega heavy. Then unloading 3 MX bikes from my husbands bike trailer, leaving only my 7 years olds bike. Then hooking-up my Denali to the bike trailer and then backing it out of the driveway. Next came the realization that I needed fuel. So I proceeded to a gas station with trailer in tow to get gas. Finally traveling to Morgan with 2 of my boys headed to the MX races!!! My other boy went with his Nannie and Papa to soccer practice etc.

Anyway I DID IT!!!!! I unloaded and loaded my boys bike. I went with him to the start of every practice and race. I was in the arena during the races to make sure he was doing o.k. ect. I was the man (so to speak). I definitely had a little help from Ellie's husband, but honestly it was mostly me. (thanks Kent)

My boy took 3rd place overall. He did awesome. He was very consistent each practice and race. I was proud of him, myself included. Ellie's boy was super impressive. He is quite the little jumper. Those 2 boys are great friends just like their mothers (LOL) Anyway I took some picks to document my experience. They have races next week, hmmmmmmmm
