twice baked potatoes and a side of fatty

how is it that you can eat something so yummy and afterwards feel so disgusted? its so good going in but once there you only want it out. i guess that is what the holidays are for---stuffing yourself and then working for months to get rid of it. i will be running tommarrow!!!

UNCLE JOEY

london has been asking alot about her uncle joey. we watch a movie and its - where is joey? we put out the christmas presents this morning and while i keep thinking on the magic of last christmas i cant help thinking this year wont have that magic of the last. the year i saw uncle joeys face light up at presents filled walled to wall of my tiny cute house. but we pray for him every night and we talk about him everyday. londy only wants meggie if joey is here too. and while i feel bad for meg i understand that at two years old- she knows they are a pair and where is her other half? tonight we will engage in silly games, chili con queso (this family and their mexican food?!?) pj bottoms and maybe elf. but throughout the night we will be missing him, and waiting for him to be with us next year. we love you joey- where ever you are- be safe and know how much YOUR family here misses YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

germ freak

never in my life have i washed my hands so much or lysoled my house this often. the thought of catching londons flu makes my cringe at the thought. is healthy for 2 months too much to wish for?
im thinking of starting a new fad and bedazzle a face mask and wear it out . at least then i would not catch all those coodies from those people who pick their nose, not cover their mouth when the y cough, forget to wash their hands after the potty and continue to scratch themselves in public.... we all know who we are talking about. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THe happiest time of the year????

If christmas is the happiest time of the year then why is everyone crabby, sick, irritated with drivers and parking lots, rushing around, depressed and down right rude? I ask myself- if this is happy we must be a mess when we are mad.

up close and personal

Tis the season to be busy. Every year I start Christmas a little earlier than the last year and yet i still find myself scrambling at the last minute. I do not like being unorganized and I hate to be crazy busy. But the season is drawing nearer and i think I'm about done. We have spent the last few weeks playing as well. The temple lights were beautiful as always and it was a lot warmer than some previous years. Not as much fun without joey trying to figure out his camera or without me stepping in the reflecting pool. The zoo lights were fun too. we got a great pic of a zebra up close and had peppermint hot chocolate-yum. The next weekend we drove to Williams AZ for the polar express. London watches the movie everyday and calls it polar es sprites. Santa came on the train and we sang carols. it was cold and magical. we also did a horse drawn carriage ride- that made it feel like Christmas!!! The next morning we went to the dear farm where londy fed about 30 deer and we played with baby camels, bucks and billy goats. that was so cool!!!! over all the magic of the season has been in full force. now if we can just make it through Christmas- this year ----this awful , long year will be over soon.

Christmas is a commin
