Smallville

Smallville has been one of my most favorite TV shows playing. I have enjoyed every season. They had some seasons that were not as great as others. I look forward to watching each episode. There are many things I love about the series. One is of course Tom Welling he is an amazing actor and great model. He plays Clark Kent so well. I also love the relationship Clark has with Chloe. I am so glad that with this season they are working on the relationship with Lois Lane. I hope that they stick with it.

Draper Temple Openhouse

On January 23,2009. I took Danny and the children to see the Draper Temple. It was a wonderful experience. We were running late because of the weather. We ended up at the wrong church. They were good and we finally got on the bus to the temple. Kara and Christopher loved the bus ride. They wanted to see everything going on. When we arrived at the temple walking through was so beautiful. Kara loved all the sparkles. Christopher like the cows (oxen) as he says. The paintings they had were magnificient. Danny loved the celestial room. Audrey loved the celestial room as well and the many paintings. Just feeling the spirit there was amazing. Kara and Christopher could not wait to have there cookies and water at the end. The bus ride back from the temple was great for the children. It was amazing to be in a place I wish to be every day.

The Best Necklace ever!

Lena, my wonderful sister in law gave Kara and I necklaces for Christmas. Thursday night Kara found my necklace and wanted me to wear it. So I wore it out that night. New years day I gave Kara her necklace and she has been wearing it ever since. She loves it so much. She talks about it all the time. Kara told me that wanted me to be beautiful too. Thank you so much Lena for the best necklace ever!




Lena works for the company that makes this jewelery so I know where to get it.

-Thankful for antibiotics. I have had the same sinus infection for almost a month. I am starting to feel better. I hope that the medicine I am taking with help me kick it.

-Thankful for support and motivation from family, friends, and my therapist. Getting myself this far in my weight loss and pulling myself through my emotional baggage has been really hard. I could not have done any of what I did without it and Jesus Christ. We can not succeed with anything in this life without trusting in Jesus Christ to help us in all we do.

-Thankful for this blog. I found it is a good way to let go of my stress and write. Rather than going to the fridge and eat. You will see more things posted more often. So come back more regularly. I've found myself posting sometimes 2-3 posts in a day if I need to.

-Thankful for my job. I've worked at Lexington Law Firm for 4 years, 3 months. This job has brought so many good things to our life. I started working from home this was right after Kara was born so I could work here and be with her. Then in December 08' they made some changes and my whole department was replaced with a machine. I then applied for a different position and started there. I now work as a paralegal. It can be stressful at times. But they make it fun. Just this last summer when the new Batman movie came out The Dark Knight my work paid for everyone to go see it. They did games and fun activities during the week. One of the games was The Biggest Batman Item. I decided with Danny permission to take all the Batman action figures he had for this game. So I had the Biggest Batman collection. Well I won. They gave me $50 in gas cards. I was very grateful at the time. Gas was so crazy. It was a life saver.

Love these pictures.

This is one of the cutest pictures.
Noah, Lena and Kara.


One of the cutest smiles I have seen.

My FOUR Hour project this day. I'm thankful I had the energy and desire to clean. And to spend time with my children and get something useful done.



As you can see from the pictures. My children's room is CLEAN. It took me four hours to completely clean the whole room. I would like to give you a run down of what I did.
Well before I started. Before I moved any furniture, the bookcase is now where the blue dresser is and the dresser where the bookcase is. In front of the bookcase there was piles of books all over the floor and all over under Kara's bed. Also piled with the books were empty toy boxes and some toys. I started there and clean up all the toys moved the toy boxes and then put the books in boxes. I then moved the bookcase and vacuumed. Then I cleaned all the summer clothes of Kara's off the dresser and moved the dresser. I then decided that I was going to clean under Christopher's bed and vacuum. When I pulled his bed out the children saw a dead bug. Kara said "Mom don't touch the bug it may bite you." During this whole process the children were having so much fun helping me clean. I then moved Christopher's bed back. My next process was moving Kara's bed without dropping the pile of books I put on it. Once I got the bed moved. I found a very large pile of books under her bed with toys and stuffed animals mixed in. Both children went crazy with excitement. They helped me get the books and toys cleaned up. Then in the corner of the room I noticed that there was a spider. As most of you know. I hate spiders. So I was very careful not to disturb the spider til I could get the vacuum and suck it up. The children were really good about helping me. I then vacuumed up the spider and a couple dead bugs and the children helped pick up the remaining toys. We then very carefully moved Kara's bed back and started to organize the books in the bookcase. I took out all the coloring books and stacked them on the left side of the bookcase. And any broken books or comics were placed on the right side. They had so many books I could not fit them all. I had to get rid of some they just don't read and put a few on the side of the bookcase. I then put the dresser in it's place and moved the lamp and radio to the top of the dresser. I cleaned off Christopher's dresser that was piled with summer and too little clothes. Kara then helped me change and make her bed. And I did Christopher's with Danny's help. Kara had to arrange her animals for her bed. She could not decide where she wanted them. I then did one last vacuum of the room. I was so happy with what I had done. My neighbor and wonderful friend Linda had to come down and see. She was very impressed. I went to bed exhausted.

-Thankful for my Children. For all the help they gave me. They are such wonderful children. They bring so much joy to me.

-Thankful for the distraction. My whole purpose for cleaning was they needed it. But Danny lost his coat on Saturday night. We think he left it at McDonald's when we ate dinner. I called and they said they did not find it. So to get into my closet I had to clean to see if one of my older coats was in there. No luck on the Coat. We are going to need to get Danny a new coat. He has been using my coat for his newspaper route since it has been so cold. I am so thankful for all Danny does. It is so hard for him some days to get up at 2:00am and deliver newspapers. I am so thankful for all he does to help with children and working. Thank you my wonderful Danny. I Love you so much!
