Do you know what I love about my friend Ragan? She has already answered this question on her blog, so lucky for me, I don't have to take the time to type it! I just copied hers! So if these next 3 paragraphs seem oddly familiar to some of you and especially you, Ragan, I just plagarized your work!
This is specifically posted for my DEAR friend REED!!!
*****A couple of people have mentioned that they don't know how to leave comments....or that they didn't even know that they could leave comments. So, I thought I'd walk you all through it :)Under each post is a hyperlink that says "__COMMENTS" (the __ is filled in with however many comments I've received on that post so far). You just click on that link and it will pull up the comment window. Scroll to the bottom and you'll find an empty box just waiting for you to type something to me. When you're done typing, scroll down farther and you'll find the "Choose an Identity" section. This is where it might get a little complicated. If you have a google account choose the "Google/Blogger" option....but then, if you have a google account you probably already know how to leave comments. So, if you don't have a google account there are three other options. The second choice is "Open ID" and you can use this option if you have an account at any of the places on the list. The third option is "Name/URL" I've never actually used this option but I think you just need your own web-site to post in the URL section. Last, but not least, is the "Anonymous" tab. This is probably the easiest for non-google account users, so are you listening??? Just click on it, then click "Publish Your Comment." And, TaDa! you've left me a comment! I would appreciate it if you would leave your name with the comment if you use the "Anonymous" option (yes, I know it's not really anonymous then, but I do like to know who's talking to me).So, there you go. No more excuses! I'm always surprised when somebody says that they've read my blog and I had no idea that they were here. I love my comments and can't wait to hear from more of you.

Any miraculous words of wisdom?
I was going to post on Sunday, but didn't. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help my children sit quietly through sacrament meeting. I always wake up on Sunday morning with a good attitude of "let's get ready and go to church." But the second I start getting them ready I decide I don't want to, but push through it anyway. The worst thing though, is I finally make it to church and low and behold, they never sit through sacrament meeting, which then brings about the attitude of "why in the world, did I even come?" Just to clarify I have 5 children, ages 8,7,5,4,2 so I'm sure I need to do something different for each one right?
So, if you have any great ideas PLEASE PLEASE share them with me before Sunday. My husband always jokes around that we are going to go on the 5 year inactivity plan, I don't think this is truly an option for us, but some insight would help...... so we don't use THE PLAN!!!!
(Reed @ Newfield, if you're reading this, you could solve the problem and attend sacrament meeting with us and sit by us and help us feed our children when they whine, and take them potty when they need to go, lucky for you none of them wear diapers anymore!!! What do you say, do you think that is a better PLAN???)

Two Thumbs up!
Shally got baptized this weekend! It was such a beautiful day and it all went soooo well. We were so glad we were able to have so many people come! We didn't get many pictures of the family, considering none of my family got there early enough to take some before hand, and afterward I was sooooo busy with the meal that I forgot. No one else thought of it I guess. But I did get a few cute ones! Thanks to everyone who came to share Shally's special day!
Congratulations SHAL!!!!!

Friends!
I got a phone call from a friend yesterday. It made me think of the friends that I have and how blessed I am to have them in my life. I got an email a while back that I thought of as I got off the phone with my friend. I'll post it..... But before I do I'd like to thank all of my friends... especially the lifetime ones!!
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Another Birthday!! Happy Birthday Briella
So I decided since I have been such a grinch the last few weeks, I would check out all the kids early and take them to the park for Briella's birthday. It was pretty fun! We were of course the only ones there today. It was actually quite warm! We had a lot of fun, and I did get a few pictures of all of my children together. That is probably one of the biggest chores EVER!!! All in all it was a great day and Briella had fun along with her siblings, Oh, and my mom and dad bought another RAT!! Cute isn't he???

Busy... but got tagged!
I've been really busy working on the house, but have quite a few people that are interested, oh and in the mean time our other house fell through, so not only do I have one house to finish and sell, I have another to sell! Wow, things are really falling into place now aren't they. So Dave leaves Monday for his new job without us! Hopefully things will turn up real soon.

1%
Well I guess the 1% over ruled the 99%. Go figure huh! So we still have to sell 2 houses and get a house in Salt Lake somewhere in the meantime. How exciting for us.
Forgive me if I don't blog much for the next little while, my energy is being exhausted elsewhere, and my attitude at this point leaves a lot to be desired so unless something really exciting happens just plan on not viewing my blog for a good week or so!
I hope to get back to it and make it a little more fun than it has been.

BORING!!
Sorry my blog has been so boring lately. I don't have much to blog right now, since I am packing and trying to finish and sell my house. However, someone came by today that wants our house as-is. Which means all they want me to do it move out. He is going to call tonight to let us know for sure, but he already said he was 99% sure, so the extra 1% needed the day to think about it. That's a pretty good percentage, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I went to school with him, so I would be way excited if someone I know gets the home, because it is a really nice yard, and the house will be great once it is finished!
Hopefully some more exciting things will happen in the next few days, if we get our house sold as-is, that means that I have hardly anything left to do except the finishing touches on packing and cleaning. YEAH!!! And I'm mostly done except for getting our stuff out of the house. So I could relax a little!!!
