Ok, I'm going to blog now.

I've decided that I'm going to post to the blog everyday for one year. Yes, everyday for a year. So today is March 31rst. That's the day, next year that I will stop blogging for one year. (Just kidding) But really, I am SUCH a lazy person, that it takes extremes to force me to stick to things. So this is painful for me, but it's on record, I will post to this blog every single day for one year. I'm not promising that it will be anything enlightening or helpful in any way. I have no particular skills or talents, so I guess this should be fun. There isn't really any expectation, except that I will post. My hope for doing this is that it will drive me to accomplish some of my other goals, so that I in-turn have something to blog about.
Other goals I have for this year are:

Finish the basement salon. ( That actually needs to be a soon goal, so that my clients don't leave me)

Get a good haircut. (from someone else)

Grow a garden. (and keep it alive)

Write everyday.

Practice the piano everyday.

Read the Book of Mormon.

Read three biography's of people who are experts at living. (People I decide are awesome)

Get food storage.

Learn to can food.

Talk Kris into letting me raise chickens. (This might take two years)

Invite people to eat at my house twice a month (or more)

Pray every morning and every night.

Perfect cinnamon rolls.

This list is probably missing a few things. I'll update you if I think of anything else to add. Hello, blog post. Yeah, just kidding. I'll try to find interesting things to write about. I wouldn't want to waste any who might look's time.

I've been weeding my yard for a week or so. I spend an hour or two a day. It's really amazing how many weeds shoot up even though it's been SNOWING. Eli and Oli have been digging holes in the border garden area, they say they are making homes for the ground hogs. Oli brought me a chunk of something just before we came in and told me it was dog poo. There's lots of that in my yard. That should be on the list too, clean up all the poo. I think that I want that to be on Kris's list though.

Pre-school Halloween Party

We just had our Pre-school, Halloween party at our house. It was a lot of fun. My sister-in-law Linda is AMAZING and helped me with everything, so it was really a good party. She is the queen of parties. I'm mad that I didn't take pictures of all the things she helped me with before we had to take them down. That's ok, I'll get pics of it all when she has her party. But I DID get some pictures of the kids with a witch! One of the ladies in our pre-school dresses like a witch and does the cutest segment where she makes witches brew. She gets totally into character and puts in things like snake eyeballs and dirty socks, and it smokes. The kids LOVE it. These are some pictures from that part of the party. My OTHER amazing sister-in-law, Toni, took them. I seriously love my EXTREMELY talented sister-in-laws!!! :) Yeah, Luci didn't want to do the picture thing.

This is what you want to see...

snow on your freshly sanded deck.

As you probably know, we're trying to sell our house so that we can live near Kris's lovely sister. Our deck is a HUGE black eye on the house. It's horrible. So we've been attempting to fix er up and make it a plus instead of a minus. The weather is NOT co-operating, to say the least. 

 P.S. Yes, we look at the weather forecast. Only ourselves to blame. :)

Oliver in the morning.

This is Oli, first thing in the morning. Everyday he runs into the hall smiling and we all yell "OBI!" He makes an entrance everyday. It's his birthday in a week and he is SO excited. He tells me that he wants his birthday to be dinosaurs, guns and robots. For dinner he wants pancakes, and he wants yellow balloons. 

Wild Woman

I decided that since I've been lazing on the blog, I'm going to binge here for a minute. It's way past due, but here are some photos of my little Luc-goose on her birthday. I can't believe she is ONE!!!

Visit to aunt Kimmi's!

Last week, I was brave and took all the kids on a road trip to Arizona to see Kim with mom. It was really fun and we love her... we must to do that drive!! :) I'll post some more pics later, but my computer is being a little weird right now.

If you want to make bread to make your house smell good, make sure to lower the oven rack.
