The Sweet things in life...Family, Friends & Sugar.

Four generations of Gilberts. Baby Jack, Daddy Craig, Great Grandma Arlene, Great Grandpa Jack and Grandpa Gilbert (David). Slurrping noodles with friends. Addison Lawerence.

Watching your grandson have his first birthday party. and Oh! the facination with fire and frosting. One is hot and the other tastes yummy.

The thrill of getting lots of valentines in your valentine bag.

There of course is nothing sweeter than decorating a valentine cookie and then eating it.

To all those special people I LOVE...My Sweetheart David. My Children: Jason, Yaz, Heather, Josh, Craig, Angie, Alan, & Holly. My Grandkids: Hunter, McKay, Sam, Caden, Jack & the littlest Sweet thing ?

There's Still Hope!!!

This morning started out a little rough. Sam and Caden were fighting over each others cereal. Caden got mad and threw his bowl of cereal and milk ALL over the kitchen. Which of course landed him in time-out, after i made him help clean it up. He was definitely not a happy camper, nor was I. But what surprised me was that while Caden was in timeout, Sam felt sorry for him and went and sat by him and consoled him. If you can be beating on each other one minute and loving the next, i guess there's still hope for the world.

Going, Going, GONE!

I think That McKay must have some of Grandpa Gilbert's genes. They can fall asleep any time, and any where. He even stayed asleep while we washed his face. That's one tired boy. :0)

THERE IS CHANGE IN THE AIR

Well as of Sunday David is no longer the Bishop of the Royal 1st ward. He served exactly 5 years to the day. I'm sure it is a bitter sweet feeling. I on the other hand am glad to have a little more of my husbands time and attention. He actually asked me out this week and i could choose which day was best for me. It was nice to just relax and enjoy being together without worrying if the phone was going to ring. We saw the movie Mall Cop and it was pretty funny. He started reading a book, and i haven't seen him do that for a very long time. The last five years have brought a lot of change in our lives, and a lot of that was good change. But I'm excited for some different change. WELCOME HOME, Dear!!! Well Done. Now maybe he can hit that Honey-do list full force. :0) In my dreams. He's probably thinking, now i can work more on getting the plane finished and flying this year...This is what it will look like when it's done.

This is it now!

Can you guess which nursery rhyme???

This week was our nursery rhyme unit. It is one of my favorites. Probably because the Mother Goose Nursery rhymes were what my Mother read to me as a child. So it triggers happy memories for me. I also read nursery rhymes to my children, then again more wonderful memories. See how many nursery rhymes you can guess, by what we are dressed up as. The one who guesses them all first gets a suprise. Good Luck!!!

New Years resolution! Do It Or Die Trying!

I've decided that maybe if i put it down in writing , so every one can see. That maybe I'll have a better chance of keeping my new years resolution. I had my yearly physical and when i got the results of my blood workup back, i had a little note from the doctor, that said my Cholesterol was on the high side. I was a little surprised since I've never had any trouble before. The note preceded to tell me that i needed to adjust my diet, exercise, and lose some weight. OR come in and get some medicine to help lower it. But he would rather me try lowering it on my own. so i have decided to get serious about it. I am trying to eat healthier and i started a more serious exercises routine. I have always been one who enjoys sports especially playing them, BUT the one sport i have never played was basketball. ( Go figure ) short and basketball don't really go together. But there is a group of ladies who play Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. They had invited me to come play with them, so i did and i have enjoyed it. of course they are all about 20 years younger and 2 feet taller than me. But they are very patient and try to teach me the game. They really are a great bunch of girls. Thanks for making feel like i am a part of the TEAM.

I also got Holly a work out tape called "Hip Hop Abs" but she left for school before it came, well i have been working out with it on the days i don't play B-Ball. Boy if you don't think that a 50+ women doing Hip Hop is a candidate for America's funniest home video's. It would probably win the grand prize. But i guarantee you all will never lay eyes on that one. It really is a lot of fun though. So here is a picture for you unbelievers, that MOM really is playing Basketball :0)

24 is back, We Love Jack Bauer!

I know! I know! It's just a show. But there's nothing better than watching someone do what ever it takes to protect our country and the dirty politicians in our government. Wait a minute are you sure this isn't based on a true story? Anyways we had our annual 24 season party at Steve and Sue's place last night. Except for a few technical difficulties, the food was great and the company was even better. Thank goodness for DVR. you can skip the commercials and rewind when you didn't hear what they said. Ya got to love it...There's a certain power you feel when you got that remote in your hands.

A warm fire, and Jack Bauer, What more can you ask for? Well i guess a cute hubby to cuddle up with.

The saga continues tomorrow night!!!
