PAY IT FORWARD.......

Pay it Forward....
So, here's how this game works-the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had an AMAZING day yesterday! Thank you all for coming! Yesterday we held our Annual Easter egg hunt I stuffed over 700 eggs but it was SOOOOOO worth it! I invited all of my family that lives here, Jake's Cousin Ethan and Devyn came and they had a blast! Jesse's parents had to work and Jake's Aunt Shea was accepted into BYU Idaho so she was busy packing. And then all of our Ward and neighbors came, some that have been doing this with us for Years and then some that were new to this fun adventure! And a lot of people invited their neighbors too! so it was crazy fun! since it was our Church conference weekend we did it a little later in the day, thank goodness for the GREAT weather! so we had a potluck too! I love our Neighborhood!!! Someone is ALWAYS out side, riding bikes, exercising, walking their dogs or whatever!! So when a few volunteers came with me to hide the eggs there was some kids out and of course willing to help! it was great! we meet at a park that is across the street from a greenbelt and a volleyball court! so we meet at the park and hang out for a bit while we wait for everyone to arrive and then we go across the street, little kids are in the sand and the others are in the greenbelt! I had 3 and under on the volley ball court and the eggs just covered the sand, totally in plain view!! and the older kids we hid some a little harder make it more fun, But Jake went to the volleyball court!! He's NO dummy! I tried to talk him into going and "searching" for the eggs and how much more fun it'd be to hunt for them and he said 'but there all just right here?!?!!" he knew it was WAY easier and he'd get more there! I even took him over to the bushes to show him to look and find the hidden ones; he gave up REALL quick telling me he wanted to go get all the other ones! But we shared with a couple of people since he got so many! with all the eggs everyone got a great amount but a few got kinda jipped, so as part of the host's he shared! and its hectic crazy fun that's over VERY quickly! I will post some Pictures ASAP!! I am having technical difficulties right now. If you have any pictures you'd like to pass on' that's great! My wonderful hubby is photo challenged! he brought the camera like I asked him to- Kudos for remembering! he stayed home with the little boys while we hid the eggs and about 20 min into our party and as we were walking across the street to find the eggs; I ask him how many pictures has he taken, NONE was his reply!! He hadn't even turned it ON!! he tells me he didn't know he was supposed to.. it was around his neck the WHOLE time!! Later on that night we went BACK to the Park! As if we hadn't filled our fun quota for the day, every year on Saturday night while the Dad's are at the Priesthood Session ,the Mom's gather at the park, someone makes a Little Caesars Pizza run and the kids eat pizza and play! By the time Jake and I rode home we were SO tired! we quickly went to bed and slept till 9 am the next morning!!Thank you for coming, thank you for supporting me and my family! we don't have a lot of family here and Ethan and Devyn : Jake's cousin's live kind of far so it makes it to where we only get together about once a month! and the Bowlers LOVE parties! Jake is SO much like me it's scary! Next up- Drive Way Movie Night! Come watch BOLT under the stars!!! Be there or Be Square!!

need to complain!!

OK so 1st off I have the WORST headache known to me in a very long time and it WILL not go away!! now it's making me sick to my stomach! 2ND Jake is scooping mustard and eating it straight! he asked me where the sticks were from his corn dogs he ate for lunch! so ikea knife and a bottle of mustard and I could care less! He is quiet!!!! Aw crap! Can I kill the stupid neighbors dog's? I HATE how close we are luckily the frat house next to use are moving in a couple of weeks! but the other neighbors got a scrappy, yuppie, Paris Hilton stuff in your purse and carry dog poop around kind of dog! and 3rd, I haven't blogged in a long while or read other peoples blogs in a while , I kind of dropped out for a while! With me babysitting, & getting some more bad news health wise and Jesse's Schedule It's been very difficult! Like being a single Mom sometimes, but I am grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a job but I guess I took a break, Plus I HATE telling anybody "oh yeah more bad stuff's happening at the Bowler's!" That's NOT what I want to talk about at all!! So not knowing what's going on around or what's new, i talked with some friends and told me what's been going on with them and just catching up...I just want to say WOW and maybe our next book club book should be Frenemies.
