I know what a Box Top smells like as it burns in the toaster.... #thanksJustin
At the church Halloween party, I dressed up like a hippie. At least three people asked if it was a "costume" or just my normal dress. I checked my closet and sure enough... I have a bunch of hippie shirts. Plus my hair is long and parted in the middle. DOH!
Me: Who is meaner, mom or dad? Dallin: You're both the same. Well played, Dallin... well played!

If you take a pro-biotic... what kind and why? You can message me if you'd rather not everyone on FB know your digestive issues. LOL
Dallin (age 6) the do-gooder. He took two quarters to school to buy popcorn and licorice. On the way home, he only had popcorn. "Where is your licorice?" I asked. "I gave a quarter to Alex." He is so sweet.
"Let's have Christmas on Saturday." --Justin (age 4)
"I don't care if we eat cereal and toast the rest of our life, as long as we are together, we'll be ok!" -Mitt Romney to Ann Romney when they found out she had MS.
“When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked. When we have been found wanting, let us remember that we were measured before and found equal to our tasks; therefore, let us continue, but with more determined discipleship. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not press upon us more than we can bear.” -Elder Neal A. Maxwell, BYU Devotional, 1978
I found a book in the washing machine. I'm not sure what this means.
Hoodie weather... my fave.
"The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil; To increase the yield, things are turned upside down." Neal A. Maxwell, April 1990 General Conference

Our Camry needs a new radiator AND a new heat coil. Wahhh!
Jon Snider's amazing voice makes up for the fact that he tends to "blah blah" instead of sing the actual lyrics...
Getting out the old cider press. Almost ready to press apples!! It isn't fall until we have some fresh cider.
I love Washington and its diverse agriculture!
Justin dumped all the Reeses peanut butter chips into the smooth peanut butter. Maybe next time I should get chunky?
Just put 80 lbs of Zaycon chicken in my deep freezer! Yes, I am a food hoarder.

"So often we get caught up in the illusion that there is something just beyond our reach that would bring us happiness: a better family situation, a better financial situation, or the end of a challenging trial. The older we get, the more we look back and realize that external circumstances don’t really matter or determine our happiness. We do matter. We determine our happiness." --President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
First-ever summons to jury duty. Gee, am I excited.
