Blonde

OK so I'm too blonde to figure out how to get my mosaic big, and I've spent too much time on it already so I'm giving up and you'll just have click on it to see it. :) lol

Mosaic About Me!

This is a fun thing, I thought I would try it.
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search or just google it.
b. Using only the first page of search results, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into the mosaic maker. Choose 3 columns with 4 rows.

The Questions:
1. What do you love most in life?
2. What is your favorite drink?
3. What is your favorite dessert?
4. What is your Flickr name?
5. What is one word that describes you?
6. What do you want to be when you grow up?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Who is your celebrity crush?
9. What is your favorite color?
10. Where did you go to high school?
11. What is your favorite food?
12. What is your name?

This is how mine turned out. Oh and by the way just so you know What I love most in life is not ducks, it's my family.

First Day of School

I found this in a magazine:

There will be bigger hallways and bigger kids.

There will be new sounds, new friends and new teachers

Whose names will sound scary at first.

He'll line up, look back and file inside and at that moment

You'll realize this is your first day of school too.


(sniff, sniff)

Braiden's First Day of First Grade!!

Braiden started school on Monday. His teachers name is Mrs. Betts when I asked him if he liked his teacher he said "Yeah, she's kinda cute" Oh boy here we go!! He had a good first day. He was a little worried that he wouldn't know where to go but he did just fine and he said that he didn't even need to ask for help. Braiden loves school he is excited to go each morning, he even thought it was pretty cool that he had homework last night, We'll see how long that lasts. :)

I think Brody really enjoys Braiden being in school he can do what ever he wants and there is no one there to pester him, and he gets me to himself (sort of.) I am enjoying the peace and quiet, of no fighting and wrestling. I do miss my little helper though and we are all excited to see him get off the bus in the afternoon.

Brody will start preschool next wednesday it will be just two days a week but I think he will enjoy doing something "big" like going to school.

Kristy's tag.....finally

Kristy tagged me months ago with this, so here it goes.

What were you doing 10 years ago? Getting ready to start my senior year of high school. (holy cow! it's been that long already?)

5 things on my to do list. 1. Laundry 2. Practice the piano 3. find some new school shoes for Braiden 4. Go grocery shopping 5. Do something fun with the kids (I told them we would do something fun today.

What snacks do I enjoy? Double Stuffed Oreos, I really like the minty oreos these days, either ones will do though.

What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire? Pay off student loans, after that I might have enough left over to buy myself a new dress or something. :) that's what it feels like anyway.

5 jobs I have had. 1. Growing up I moved wheel lines for my dad I hated it at the time, but I look back now and it was the best job I ever had. It taught me how to work, and I got to spend alot of time with my dad. 2. I delivered flowers for Nancy's Rupert Floral the summer before I got married, It was suppose to be an internship for my degree, hmmm some internship!!! 3. Sherry's Floral in Rexburg, hey at least at that one I got to arrange the flowers and not just deliver them. 4. I worked at Zaney Brainey (a kids toy store) when we lived in VA.

I graduated from Ricks College with a degree in floral design. 5. I wish I would have done something more serious in school, floral design was fun but let be realistic here.

Now I am going to tag.....JOLISA, and anyone else who feels like filling this out.

Twin Falls Temple Open House

Saturday afternoon we had the opportunity to attend the Twin Falls Temple open house it was beautiful! I feel very excited and blessed that we have a temple close by. I tried to tell the boys how lucky they were to be able to go inside the temple, but I don't think they really got it. Hudson just took it all in he kept looking all around and staring at the beautiful chandeliers, it was fun to watch him. Braiden said his favorite part was the baptistry. When I asked Brody what his favorite part was he said, "the temple" so I guess he liked the whole thing. Tomorrow Nate and I are going to be ushers at the open house from about 1:00 until they close. I am nervous to leave the baby that long. He does take a bottle just fine but I have never left him that long before, so we will see how it goes.

Bye Bye Training Wheels!

Braiden learned how to ride a two wheeler on Thursday evening. What a big boy! We are all excited for him. We have been practicing a little here and there but Thursday was the day we finally let go. He was thrilled when he knew that he was doing it on his own! Way to go!!

Hudson is 7 months old!!!

Our little Hudson (who is not so little) learned how to sit up!

This is a great age!! They can sit up on their own and play with a toy but they are not mobile yet! I better enjoy it I guess because it won't last long I'm sure. Hudson is a sweet baby he loves to "play" with his big brothers, they adore him and they are so much help to me! Hudson is loving the camera these days he smiles from ear to ear when I have it out, how convenient!



Three silly boys!!

Redfish Lake

Every year the entire Catmull family heads up to Redfish Lake (near Stanley ID) for a week of relaxation. The kids enjoy playing in the sand making sand castles and such, while I enjoy sun bathing and a good book. The lake is gorgeous, the water is crystal clear and freezing cold. Every now and again it is fun to jump into the water just to get your adrenaline pumping. We have so much fun every year that we dread coming home. Uh well I guess all good things must come to an end.
