Pre-K Crush

Shyanne started preschool last week and is 1 out of 2 girls in the class along with 4 boys. So when I went to pick her up today her teacher, Miss Erin, told me that she had to have a talk with her and another boy named Dylan about kissing. I've been told that he is a very affectionate kid and kisses and hugs everyone. I was totally fine with that and even thought it was cute that he has a crush on Shyanne. According to his mom he thinks that she is a "cute girl" w/ "pretty hair". I did have a talk with Shyanne when we got home and told her that it's okay to hug, but not kiss. Good thing I picked her up and not Nathan ;) I called him on the phone later and told him and he started laughing. This isn't supposed to happen for like another 12-13 yrs!

The rules: List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog!

3 Joys-
1) Being w/ Nathan, Shyanne and my family
2) Right before or after it rains smelling the rain w/ the dirt in the air (weird I know)
3) Being the Primary Pianist

3 Fears-
1) Nathan or Shyanne dying. I know I'll see them again it's just that I'd miss them so much!
2) Having someone break into our house while I'm there and Nathan's gone and having to use the gun.
3) I'll admit it I'm still a little scared of the dark. I have a very active imagination and always scare myself w/ scenes from movies, etc.

3 Current Obsessions/ Collections-
1) Scrapbooking
2) Learning how to sew
3) Getting our garden started

3 Facts About Yourself-
1) I am one of those people who know tons of useless bits of information
2) I love sports
3) I love cooking (I just need to find some new recipes)

3 Goals-
1) Get back in shape
2) Get the house clean
3) Read scriptures and attend the temple more often :)

Let's see I'm going to tag Launi, Ammanda, Sara, Tasha and Sariah

Adventures in Motherhood

So I have a headache and am trying to get some sleep and Shyanne wants me to get her some milk. Ok so I go and do that and as I'm pouring her milk I hear water running and I'm thinking oh she just went potty so she's washing her hands right? Wrong. She comes running out of the bathroom telling me her potty's water is spilling all over the floor. Well it turns out that a whole tub of bum wipes is no match for a porcelain toilet. I'm sure I'll look back on this in a couple of days and laugh, but not right now.

I'm Not Surprised

You Belong in 1983

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

It also was probably the best decade for music!

Hawaii 2008

For our family vacation this year we went to the Big Island of Hawaii again. It helps that half of Nathan's family lives there so of course we have to go and visit :) Nathan took tons of pictures during our stay but these are some of my favs. This is the first in a series of posts.

This is taken where the highway ends (literally) North of Kona. Don't the different blue colors in the water and lush green surroundings look amazing?


This is Akaka Falls and is the tallest waterfall in Hawaii. It is a mere 420 ft. drop.


For those of you who have never seen a green sand beach this one's for you. This beach is located on the south point of the island and you have to have a 4WD vehicle to get there.
