Photo Friday

Thanks for reminding my Liz!  I really wish I had a picture of my garden to share, I'm really proud of it.  Maybe next week.

Sometime today I noticed there was a package outside. When I opened the door the first thing I noticed was that it was a cooler, not a box, and that it had red all-caps words that read "HIGHLY PERISHABLE". Then I read "Omaha Steaks" and was very confused, and then I saw that it was for Justin from Chegg and it made sense.  The gift note congratulates Justin on a job well done this month and encourages him to have a fun weekend.  It had several packages of different things inside - steaks, pork chops, chicken, sea food.  So fun.  And totally unexpected.  Justin totally rocked it at work this month, quarter and half-year and his boss and higher-ups are very impressed.

 

Jaime really wanted to take a picture with Dad's cooler so I let her.  Can I just point out one thing?  Notice how her hair looks silky and smooth?  Well, we tried an experiment today which was that she got to pick any punishment she wanted at the beginning of the day and then when she was disobedient I followed through with that punishment.  The punishment she picked was combing her hair.  No idea why she picked it, but man she had some soft glorious hair by the end of the day :).

When Jaime insisted on taking a picture on the cooler Vida followed suit.  "

"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters.....sharing....caring...."

Yea, I remembered on time!  Lucky for me the boys take random pictures, so here is one that was super cute!  

This is Hyrum's favorite place to play in the house.  And yes, he is completely in that 4 quart pot.

Fun with Bryce

After working hard for a few days we enjoyed a relaxing date night.  We enjoyed a nice dinner and then went to roam around the land at our new house.  We found a box with power running to it, so Bryce decided to open it and check it out.  To his surprise there was a huge brown spider inside.  I missed the initial reaction, but I did get him capturing and playing with the spider.  Enjoy, I know I did.

Can you find the spider?

Now can you find it?

Well, I have videos but I can't seem to get them to upload, so if you want to see them just send me a message.  :)

Swing Shift

OK, I work hard and I work long hours and I was sure that handling the swing shift for the command center would be no big deal.  Work until 23:30, small break, go to bed, sleep in, take the morning easy, swim, etc.  Sounded good three days ago...

Well, I still think it would not be bad except starting at 09:00 for my "swing shift" is a bit much.  Maybe it means swinging from the rafters...

Love you all

We Are LIVE!!

Not alive, LIVE!  This may not mean much to all ya-all but to mom and me it means the efforts of a year and a half special assignment are coming to fruition. That is a blessing. 

Seriously guys...

We should own and run an event facility.

Dad would handle the business.

Mom would decorate.

James would do the food.

Heather would be the events manager.

Joe would do the grounds design and upkeep.

Michelle would do the flowers.

I would do the photography.

Marquie would be in charge of live entertainment.

Liz, Bryce, Justin and Patrick would have to keep their normal jobs in case we all fail miserably...

Come on.  It would be amazing!

Thought you would enjoy.

I did when I found it on my phone. Didn't even know that it was there.
