: O

Holy cow I did it. What is bad about me is, if I get an idea to do something, I have to do it right then and I did. : O

Oh crap I know I agree with you. You can be totally honest. It won't hurt my feelings!

the most updated pic

Ok here is the most updated pic. Can you see me pulling that off?

Do I dare?

Ok lady's I have a question. I am so tired of not being the fun happy crazy Jen. I feel dragged down and am ready for something new. I love Pink! Not the color, the artist. I love how she is so free and fun and lets loose. So here is my question. Should I cut my hair like hers? And if yes do you think it would look good and can I pull it off?

Just to get it straight I'm not saying she is a good role model, I just love her hair. No tattoos, none of that junk . Just the hair!)

Sick and tired of being tired

It has been a while only because my husband is a slave driver. He lost one of his supervisors to a long boarding accident and little ceasers. So guess who has to close three nights a week and work every morning, thats right me. I just got off work and I am tired.

Kirsten I am so sorry I couldn't make it to your baby shower. I wish I could have been there. I know it would have been fun.

Mom, I will put the camping pictures up tomorrow. We didn't take that many!

The Ultimate Dad Award

As long as Nuttles has been alive, I have always been the one to get up with her on Sunday mornings, well everyday for that matter. But yesterday Buck let me sleep in. He got up with Nuttles and fed her breakfast and made sure that I was able to get the rest that I needed. It was a big deal for me, cause that never happens. Brownie points for Buck.

So when I woke up I let Buck know that he had won the Ultimate Dad award. You are probably wondering what that is, it is clear but here's the story:

So there is a wonderful couple in our ward who have the most well behaved children. And every Sunday I see the husband running around doing his calling and taking great care of the Little's. The wife does a fantastic job to, but she needs a break, cause she is due any day now. Anyways I call this Husband the Ultimate Dad. Maybe hoping Buck would catch on, hoping that he could be a little more helpful, which he is doing and a fantastic job at that. So instead of the Ultimate Dad award going to the reigning champ, Buck won it yesterday. Congrats Buck, sorry Dave and Cindy ;)

How true it is!

The Veteran building is in my town and sometimes the Veterans come out and stand on our busy streets and show support to our Troops. As I was heading home today they were out there showing their love and respect for the men that serve this wonderful country. There was this one man holding a sign that read; "They died to set men free". I have never been hit so hard with overwhelming gratitude and love for what our courageous brethren do. Before I knew it the tears were flowing down my face as I realized how true that statement is. Our forefathers fought for our rights and our freedoms so that we would have a choice and a life to choose for ourselves. Those freedoms that they fought so hard for are being taken away everyday little by little, so some may not notice. I may not agree with this war that we are in, but I support it and stand by it. Because if we don't support it, then we do not support our troops. I don't care if you disagree with that, but it is true. Our troops believe in what they are doing and they did it for us and are still doing it. They took what our forefathers gave them and chose to fight for this beautiful country. All of us should respect that. Without them we would have nothing.

Family Fun

Over the Labor day weekend, for the first time we took a family camping trip. Ok so it was just an overnighter and yeah Messica wasn't there, and we wish you could have been there Mess. Anyways, we went to Honeyman and spent the night there. My dad made a wonderful dinner. It was chicken pot pie cooked in the dutch oven. It was so yummy! Most of the time we relaxed around the camp fire, until it was bed time. Nuttles crashed early in Grandpa's arms. So we headed to bed. The only problem was the campers next to us were all drunk and making way to much noise. Plus from a distance you could hear a little one screaming and it was bad . It sounded so close and it went on for like an hour. It was horrible, I felt so bad for the little one. I was shocked that the parents of the little one, let it go on for as long as it did. It had to be eleven o'clock at night. It was sad!

The next morning, Buckland made us all breakfast. Eggs, bacon (I cooked the bacon :P ), French toast and potatoes with ham, green peppers and onions. It was so good, but so filling. We then packed up after a little while and headed to the beach. First we stopped off and rode a huge dune buggy. That was fun, though it did make Buck really want a quad to ride at the dunes. So ever since then, he has been looking at quads online. After that we grabbed lunch and headed to the beach. Everyone kind of did there own thing. Jay built a nice little shelter because the wind was so bad, but it was gorgeous. Buck and Dad flew the kite a little and mom and I looked for shells. The beach we were at; I had found 3 full sand dollars there once and I was hoping I would get lucky again. At one point Nuttles wanted to fly the kite so Buck let her. The wind was so strong that it started dragging her and finally she let go and hit the ground. It was so cute and funny at the same time. The bad part was that when she let go Buck and Dad had to try and catch the kite. After that she didn't want to fly the kite again. We had a wonderful time! I can't wait till next year to do it again.
