Dear family, friends, and stalkers,
It seems to me that when I need to use my time wisely the most it actually happens the least. I have so much to do and yes, I only checked one thing off my list today. This month of December has FLOWN by while jam packed with big exciting events. There have been temple trips, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and silliness all before Christmas! It's late and I am too tired to write about them all (they each deserve their own post). Therefore ladies and germs I give you:
My life according to a camera phone!
"I love to see the temple!"
Me and my fellow camera hog!
Someone stole my camera! But secretly I love it!
My office Before
My office after (still in progress. I've spent less then $100 and it feels good!)
In August I took two weeks to go to Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. It was busy trip! While there I visited friends, dropped Tressa off at the MTC, spoke at the Families supporting adoption conference, played with my nephew, Sold grandpa's toys (well....I tried), explored caves, discovered abandoned houses and mills in the forests of south eastern Idaho, discovered there were forests in south eastern Idaho, went to court with my old probation buddies, etc!! Then I came home and went straight to work and school. I feel like I haven't been able to catch my breath! There are so many people who I need to email, mail things too, and return messages for. If you are one of those people, I am SO sorry. I actually run down the list of what I need to send to whom every day, hopefully get one done, get stressed out, and do something else. Don't worry, it's coming! However, there was a request for me to post some of the pictures and videos I took of my MES. I took hundreds of pictures! Don't worry, I wont submit you to them. But here are just a few videos of the quality nephew time I got in.
This video cracks me up every time I watch it. It's one of those "you have to be there" type things but I am still posting it. Imagine me sitting at my sister's house on a Sunday afternoon. To me Sundays mean excitement. To me Sundays mean busy. To me Sundays never have a dull moment. To me Sundays mean the 6 boys family! At my sister's house Sundays are quiet. At my sister's house Sundays mean just Mark, Liz, and MES. I love them....but I was bored out of my mind. So this is how I got a little entertainment.
Then This next video was after my aunt and uncle had taken Tressa, Me, and Liz out to dinner. (They sure are good people). They had to make a quick stop before going home and the MES was a MESS! He was so tired and cranky we were doing anything we could to keep him from screaming. Finally we found something that worked! Peek-a-boo.

I am sitting in my room blogging on my adoption blog and I heard one of my favorite noises so I had to stop and share.
It is something that always makes me smile when I hear it. The house is usually still and quiet like the calm before a storm and then all of a sudden there is the sound of a herd of unknown animals above my head running from the door to the refrigerator followed by the cheers of 6 boys and then westling and runnning. Usually I jump up to greet my favorite visitors but this visit was unexpected to me and I had a few plans. (Ehem, you wouldn't know by the fact that am still unshowered in my pajamas at 1:30). But I know if I go up stairs I wont get a thing done. So here I sit finishing my blog posts before I go hug and play with my favorite sunday visitors.
(I wish I had pictures of the other boys on Tressa's computer, but this is all I've got!)
BAHAHA I was about to hit publish when I heard a thud right above my head sounding like it was going to come through my ceiling on me. Heck with it. I am going upstairs!
