H-E-double hockey sticks Froze Over

Oh yeah, I'm good at keeping my blog clean...if only I could control my language around the children. Like when I've found that Luke has had yet another bout of diarreah or that Mia has used her play make-up to paint Jacob's face and there isn't one inch of flesh color showing or Jacob throws random things in the garbage because it's fun (cereal bowls/spoons, toys, bills etc.)

Anyway, enough about that. The REAL reason I'm posting right now is that I'm very upset. It is about -30 degrees outside and I'm really wondering what I was thinking leaving the nice warm desert for the winter in MT. I hope Jesse knows how much I love him to sacrifice like this! -30??? What the CRAP???

Whew, I feel better now...thanks for letting me vent. Needless to say, I can't wait to go to St George and soak it all in! Who knows, maybe we'll stay down there FOR-E-VER. (say "forever" like on the movie Sandlot...go ahead...you know you want to.)

Oh how easily entertained.

I just love Jacob. I just love my washing machine. I just love watching Jacob watching my washing machine. Can't you feel the stinkin love? I also love his double cowlicks staring me in the face watching him watching me! Is anyone confused after all that?

I heart Turkey Day

Here are some of the pics from Butte Thanksgiving with my parents. We knew we wouldn't see them at Christmas this year so my parents gave us a few really nice gifts.

Mia got an awesome baby-doll with a swing and backpack
Luke got a Woody doll that he's been wanting forever and a Nerf Gun (which Jesse really likes)
Jacob got a playhut schoolbus that is sooo much fun
and Jesse and I got an indoor grill / griddle that we've already used 3 times! I love it..thanks Mom & Dad!

I did a dry salt brine turkey as seen in Martha and it was DELICIOUS!! The stuffing in the bird was way too salty (only because I didn't read the directions to rinse the turkey after salting it) so we mainly ate the baked stuffing. My Mom made her famous lemon pie and my Dad made some perfect pumpkin pies too. Needless to say, we all ate very well through the weekend.
(I tried uploading pics but they wouldn't go thru...will try again later!)
