Mamma Mia!

I just got the Mamma Mia soundtrack. I know, I know......I'm a big geek. I soooooooo loved that movie and yes when it hits video it will me mine!!!!!!! The music is so fun and must be belted out at the top of your lungs. And yes, I am the dancing queen in case you were wondering. My poor kiddos will be haunted with Abba from now on. I have seen the movie twice already. If you haven't seen it.......go now!!! If you don't like it, it is pure sacrilege!! Just thought I'd share my thoughts and know that I will have the music memorized by nightfall. And yes my new ring tone is now dancing queen!!!!

Pioneer breakfast

The pioneer breakfast went well yesterday. It was alot of fun. We had yummy breakfast and a great program by the youth. Then the kiddos had a parade around the back of the parking area of the church. It was so fun and everyone had a great time. Ethan rode his bike in the parade and he loved it. Such a big boy. Daddy pulled Zach and Lexie in the wagon. Maybe santa will bring new bikes for Christmas. I'll have to chat with him.




I got this cute shot of Lexie and Brook. (Brook is in yellow and Lexie is striped with their arms around each other) By the way.... I did this all by myself this time. (added a pix) lol its the little things ya know.


My house though still smells like bacon. AAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhh!! I used to like bacon but it repulses me now. lol (note to self....never cook a ton of bacon again) It musta been good though, it was gone by shortly after 9 am. The breakfast started at 8:30 so once mormon standard time kicked in(15 mins late for everything) the bacon lasted about 20 mins. LOL The ladies at church helped so much. I didnt clean a thing, thats just the way I like it....hehehe.





It was way fun and even though I am totally a square peg here, I am here, so I will try to play the game.

BACON!!!!!!!

Oh my frickin bacon!!! So tomorrow is our "pioneer breakfast" with the whole ward. Being Stacey's partner planner I am baking 10 pounds of bacon tonight. AAAaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! It all starts good but for some dumb reason I started at 8:30pm and now its 11:30 and I am still baking. The house is all smoggy with bacon grease and I still have one more batch to go before I can take a quick shower to degrease myself. I used to love bacon before tonight. LOL I hope someone actually shows up and I also hope the bacon is still good in the morning heated up. We'll see, I so need to go get a hit of my dr pepper(aka necta of da gods).

4th of July Pics

Pictures of the kids watching fireworks. Plus a bonus picture of Lexie with Oompa Loompa hair!

So, life never stops here in the Texas heat. But I got to go see Mamma Mia last weekend with the girlies at church. Oh my gosh that was the best show. I love the music and I was so loud that the guy next to me got up and left. ( I actually think he was sneaking into Batman.....at least thats what I am telling myself;)) The music is awesome and I loved Meryl Streep. 007 needed a few more singing lessons but still looked fine. I love cheesey musicals like that. I will definately be downloading the music on my new ipod. Yep, thats right I have a fancy new ipod because I have the best hubby ever. We already did our Christmas pressents to each other since we figure we wont want to spend money one each other then. The looming student situation that I am trying not to panic over. Ok, I'm not going there because it makes me break out in weird itchy hives if I'm not careful. So now I am thinking of rainbows and gummy bears.

I am helping plan a pioneer breakfast for the ward on Saturday. So since I was baptized in the 90's I think for the parade I'll wear a hot pink micro mini skirt and
some funky blue liner. I think that will confirm that I have officially lost it to the few Texans that dont already know it.

Ok, I am now going to try to attach a photo to this blog......wish me luck. Drum roll please. FAILURE!!!! Dang i suck at this technical world that I live in. Anyhow, maybe Ed can help later.

So I stink at this!!

Ok, so I stink at blogging. I want to blog but life kinda gets in the way!! Anyway, here I go again. I will have fourth pix up soon. We had a great low key holiday this year. We spent time with Gramma Owen and Gpa too. We played outside alot there and Lexie and baby Zach got to meet uncle Dirk for the first time. It was nice to see him and a couple of cousins too. Gramma has a huge Mimosa tree in her backyard and we had fun picking pink puff flowers and looking for "who's" inside. The kids got to go to the "feater" with daddy a few weeks ago and see Horton hears a Who. The absolutely loved it. So to see a huge tree full of pink puffs was the coolest thing ever to them. Yeah, I didnt get a pix of that but it was cute.

Then on the fourth we got up early and went to the zoo. It was pretty fun although the Tulsa Zoo is under some construction so we didnt see alot of animals that we wanted to see. The polar bear that has been there forever, since I was a kid, had finally died so it was kinda sad. And in the first building where they have the earthquake exhibit, Lexie wanted to do the fake earthquake but when the machine started moving she bailed. So I guess that means we cant ever live where there are earthquakes. She was so freaked out by it at first. The rest of the Zoo was fun but way hot that day!!

Then we came back to Gramma Guidry's house and had a cookout with the cousins and uncle Chris got a huge horsey bounce house. Which, by the way, I tested out and it was a blast!! We lit off fireworks and stayed up late and ate yummy food.

Saturday we swam for hours at aunt Jessie's house. Played with cousins and had a fabulous day. Mommy and daddy got a fun date night with aunt Jessie and uncle Chris and had a great time.

Pix to come from some cute cousin moments.
