HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!






We went to a Halloween Party and we needed to be a theme of some sort and so I thought... Hmmm so I asked Ethan and he said air-pene a.k.a. Air Plain! So that is what I made!! It was a fun costume to make! All but my hands are still yellow from the spray paint!

Quote of the Day!

The Influence of Righteous Women

"Do the best you can to help all of us reach higher and do better. Use your innate spiritual gifts to bless. Help us push back the pernicious influences of the world in our lives, our homes, and in the Church."

(James E. Faust "You Are All Heaven Sent," Ensign, Nov. 2002)

Ready to POP!!


Today we had our primary program and I teach CTR 5's so I was up on the front row like this... moving up and down lining my kids up to talk and then sing over and over. After it was over I really felt like I was going to POP!

I LOVE FALL!!!



Everything in our family has fallen in Fall! I just love the leaves and the brisk air, so since our wedding we have added two birthdays to our family's November month!

Pizza Bomb!



So last night I made a pizza bomb one that I miss so bad from Craigo's in Rexburg, the BBQ one... It turned out great I should have taken a picture, but I had to much fun taking a pictures of Ethan helping me! So I look over and Ethan was covering the dog with flour! It was funny! I just let him cover her, Ella was loving eating the flour and it kept Ethan occupied the whole time I was getting everything else ready!

The Divinity of Womanhood!!

"I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the 'highest place of honor' in the Church and in the world. One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity. Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it. Femininity is part of your inner beauty.

"One of your particular gifts is your feminine intuition. Do not limit yourselves. As you seek to know the will of our Heavenly Father in your life and become more spiritual, you will be far more attractive, even irresistible. You can use your smiling loveliness to bless those you love and all you meet, and spread great joy. Femininity is part of the God-given divinity within each of you. It is your incomparable power and influence to do good. You can, through your supernal gifts, bless the lives of children, women, and men. Be proud of your womanhood. Enhance
it. Use it to serve others."

(James E. Faust "Womanhood: The Highest Place of Honor," Ensign, May 2000, 96)

Here are the rules: 1. Each person list 6 facts/habits about themselves. 2. At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people!

1~ If I don't know a word to say while telling a story or anytime... I make one up.

2~ I am adopted! And look so much like my family no one believes me when I tell them!

3~ I stand really funny... I never have my feet totally on the floor I tend to push out on my outside edge of my feet! so all my flip-flops and shoes wear out really fast on the outer edge! Ethan actually came up to me and pressed my feet down while I was doing the dishes!

4~ I hate that I just got an associate degree, I wish I would have just gotten my bachelors so I could feel more accomplished!

I thought it would be a good day!! :(



Well, I don't know if you can start your day off worse than mine... I woke up with a really bad back ache, and every time I moved my leg I almost dropped to the ground because of a Charlie-Horse! I then decide to feed Ella while Ethan and I showered. Lately, it’s been a power struggle to get Ethan into the shower. He loves it once we are in, but that first step of actually saying “time for a shower” is terrible!! So, as we are getting out, I smell something really bad. With my pregnant nose, everything smells really bad. But, this was strong! I new Ella had pooped somewhere, and sure enough I found it. While I am walking into my room to get something on so I can take Ella out side, I step in some pee! With all this frustration, I am calling for Ella; and of course she knows she did something wrong. So, she won’t come. While I am cleaning the pee, I hear a drizzle and look over and Ethan is peeing on the floor! There is the 3rd mess I needed to clean up… I then began telling Ethan how he needs to be a big boy and pee on the toilet. I thought he was done. NOPE! I went in the other room to get his cloths and heard the well known pushing sound and ran out to see that Ethan had pooped on the floor. Back in the shower for him; and back on the ground for me! And I thought it would be a good day! On a good note, I have seen the sun the last 2 days!!! Yahoo!

Sweet Ella...





I LOVE Dogs... I really don't love Puppys, Ella has been such a challenge for me, she is learning I guess, I just don't remember this much work in any other dog I have ever had. Also when I found her online I loved her because she was sooo cute and didn't have any ugly spots!! Well as you can see she sure does have them.. Every day they are more clear.. I think the lady we got her from painted her in the pictures that we picked from.. hee, hee! Well my advice to any one looking for a dog... Dont get a puppy, unless you are ready to have everything chewed up, peed on, and smelly! Other then that they are fun! We have our happy moments, Ethan LOVES her soooo much they play great together! So I guess we will have to keep her!

MY FAMILY

I am now at the point where I can count down the days until my family gets here... I can't wait to see them, My Mom, Dad, Sister and Tucker her son are coming, Ethan goes crazy every time I say anything about Tucker because he want him to be here!! Every night we sing the Tucker, Abbi song, and anytime I am on the computer then he says "Becky, Becky" because I try and talk to my sister on Skype everyday, we have a web cameras along with my mom that is one way I don't go crazy here. So Ethan gets to talk to Tucker or should I say they like to scream at each other or just be silly. I think my mom and sis get sick of me calling them on it all the time, but I love to just see them and talk about nothing. It makes me get though my day!!
So anyways back to the count down only 19 days!!!! and counting!!! I am soooo excited! If you cant tell!
