Prayers & Toots

I had a stake youth activity to go to this last Saturday. Josh, Adam, & Zachary also came to get out of the house and to be with me. It was suppose to be at the beach but it got rained out, so we all ended up at the church building. The youth had a good time playing vollyball, watching movies, and playing "signs". I was asked to join in and so naturally my boys were there having a good time getting attention from the youth.

It was time to say a blessing on the food and just as it got quite to start the prayer Adam launched a very loud "T-O-O-T!"

The whole loby of youth tried their best to be reverent for the prayer but it was filled with snickers muffeled laughs. As soon as everyone said "amen" there was a release of laughter.

Why is flufing so funny? I don't know.....but it is.

Working Late

Poor Josh has been working super long hours for the last month. He goes in early and comes home late (6am -12am). So he goes a couple of days without seeing the boys. I know the boys miss him.

When Josh comes home the poor guy crashes with the boys in fron to of the TV. I've been catching Zachary curling up to his daddy on the couch when ever hs gets the chance. We have such cute boys!

Green Thumb

This is a picture of my green thumb. Check out my potato plants! They have only gotten bigger with all of the rain that we have been getting daily. I just Love the garden state!

The Show

At the end of the school year at Adam's pre-school they put on a little show. They sing a lot of songs that they have learned throught out the year. In preperation Adam and I would practice at breakfast time and on occation he would sing with me.



The time for Adam's class to walk in arrived and as soon as Adam saw me he made up his mind that it would be better for him to sit with me instead of up front with his class. And once his mind is set on something then there is little that I can do to change it.


I did get him to go up to sing the song that we practiced but as soon as it was over he set his rectangle down and returned to sit with me.




He decided that he wanted to get his award too but got up set when people clapped. Don't you just love these pictures.

Hidden Blessings

A couple nights ago josh and I endulged in a late night bowl of cereal and I noticed that the milk wasn't cold. Blah! On our way to bed Josh noticed that the fridge hadn't stoped running all night. Yep, it finnally happened our refridgerator that the previous owner left us in his garage cooled it's last.

I spent the next morning looking for dry ice (which I found out that the grocery stores in NJ don't carry) to buy me some time. I spent the reast of my day craig's listing, calling around etc... I was able to find a scratch and dent beautiful fridge for $300. AHHHhhhhh! I found this great appliance sotre right on the shore. On a clear day you can see the NYC sky line. There was a steam boat museum and a board walk right next to the store. So the boys and I had a good time going to this place. So, check it out our new (to us) fridge. I have posted pictures for your viewing pleasures......

Although it stinks that we had to buy a new fridge, I'm really happy that our old one broke.

It's nice to have cold milk again.

Boise Trip July 2008
