what is going on now.

Well not a whole lot is going on. Allison at Cheer Camp Sat and she did I guess OK. I think the cheerleaders kind of gave up on her after awhile. She just kind of did her own thing most of the time. I am having her practice so she knows that she needs to do it. She says she really like cheerleading so not sure if I want to keep her going. I do need to keep her in something for some extra activities to stay fit and what not but just not sure what she will want to do. Don't want to spend allot of trying to really find that out either cuz money is tight right now. But she is looking forward to her cheer thing tomorrow night at the Jerome vs Minico game. That will be interesting because we lived in Jerome and she did cheer at a few of the Jerome games so hope no one notices heheehehh. Other then that not much is going on. Just the same old same old.

things

Well yesterday was a fun day. Mom and I went shopping and I found the girls some shoes which they needed very much. I also found some onies there for Olivia which were way over needed. She has figured out how to take off her cloths and diaper so they were much needed. We also ended up at the dollar tree and found some cool halloween stuff. Well this morning has been a fun one this morning. Olivia desided to climb on the chair and I had my mr clean spray on the counter and she got ahold of it and sprayed it in her face. So she is going to get a bath here in a few. I tried to get as much off her face as I could but she still stinks of that stuff. Makes me sick. Well other then that not much is going on. but will keep you updated =]

what is new

Well I feel better then I did a few days ago. If i got up I would get this big pain in my tummy and I was really dizzy and had to go to the bathroom allot. So now I am not and I feel better. Well i will not be posting any pictures for a few weeks. I have donated my SD card from my camera to Allison's leapster 2 game thing. It said he needed one so I had to put it in there grrrrrrrr. So gotta wait on the pictures for a few weeks so i can get a new card. Well i broke down and got a new DVD player. I haven't really gotten a good DVD player sense we were in Germany. My first DVD player that I ever got and the first electronic item I ever got myself died. So i decided I wanted my TV and movies back in my bedroom so I can watch again at night instead of playing games on my phone. I hooked it up and every thing well I think something is wrong with my TV now cuz it will not work. I hooked the DVD player in the backroom and the girls are watching a movie out of it now and it is awesome. So I guess i will be getting a new TV soon. I don't really want to buy one but I guess it will be good to get for when we get out new house =] Things are going OK. I am excited for Olivia's second birthday to come. It is Oct 9Th. So I am going to combined moms and Olivia's birthday party together. It will be short and sweet because mom has surgery on her birthday so don't need her to stress about any thing. I will be getting some baby gates that are better so we can keep moms leg safe =] Don't want the girls to hurt her. I think I am going to make mom a big bubble that she can live in for awhile so then no one can hurt her heheheehhe. Paul is doing pretty good. He misses very one but I think he is doing OK. He got himself a TV/DVD player thing and he also has a portable DVD player also. So that is cool that he can watch TV. I was going to send him with the computer but after the last trip he had to the sandbox I don't want it coming up missing. We got Allison's Halloween costume yesterday in the mail and it is very cute. She is going to be snow white this year. She is excited. Olivia had her costume on yesterday and got stuff on it so might be getting a new one depending on if that stuff doesn't come out. Well i will be ending for now. I hope every one is well and I will write more later =]=

car accident

Well it is almost 3 in the morning and we are all up right now. There was a car accident on the corner. This one was weird. I was laying in bed and I heard this weird noise and then the power went off. I looked outside and seen one little light and then a white car that was flipped over. So got up told my mom and grabbed my cell phone and called 911. OK I went out and looked out my window again and i thought who ever was in that car was dead it was just dead silence outside. So my dad and I got a flash light and went outside and the were like a million cops like almost instantly surrounding the car and I look to the right of me and there is this guy on his cell and I asked him if that was his car and he said yes OH MY GOSHHHHHH I thought I was going to cry. I was just to happy to know that he was OK and not dead. I am not sure if he was just really tired or if he had been drinking. I know all of city of Rupert and I swear every cop on duty were out here tonight for this. i felt kind of bad the guys wife came out she is still outside trying to get all this figured out and i believe they took the kid to the jail. So I am not sure what really happened with him. We were just outside and it is 3:10 and they are trying to get the car up on the tow truck. They flipped the car back over which was something I have never seen before. It is raining right now and there is thunder and lighting outside as well. When they flipped the car those cops were on that car like cops to a donut hehhehe The one thing i seen in that car in the back was a infant car seat base so you know that guy was a dad. so this is my exciting morning .......

How much is a painting of a soilder worth?

I got this in a myspace message from my friend Jessi. I figured I would pass it along to you all and hope you enjoy it.

Take my Son A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this." The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man.. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift." The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son.Who will bid for this picture?" There was silence.Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one." But the auctioneer persisted."Will somebody bid for this painting Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?" Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts.Get on with the real bids!" But still the auctioneer continued."The son! The son! Who'll take the son?" Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford."We have $10, who will bid $20?" "Give it to him for $10 Let's see the masters." The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.The auctioneer pounded the gavel "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!" A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!" The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over." "What about the paintings?" "I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.The man who took the son gets everything!" God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross.Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?" Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE Do whatever you like, but remember that maybe "one" of the people you might have taken the time to send this to, may be just the person who needs to hear this message. You have a choice to make." God Bless.

a worryfull day today

Well today is Monday and I will be a worry wart all day long. My mom goes in to Boise today to get her leg checked out. So please guys if you could pray for her that would be great. Olivia has been a little toad for the last couple of days. My mom has been canning and she wants to get into every thing and she can't so that has been hard. She did a face plant in to the coffee table and got a good booboo on her chin. If you look in the picture you can see it kind of. Allison has been a big big girl. She has been wanting to go to school so bad this weekend. She said she will be happy to go back and be with her friends. She is doing so good. Friday they had a treat day. So we got her 3.00 to spend. She got a juice box, a few fruit roll up things and some candy. So she was excited about that. The shirt she has on is her school shirt. I think maybe I should get her a new one because she wears it every friday so maybe heheeh. I did get her a sweat shirt like this one too. She was excited about that too.

Today

Well hello every one. This is my very first blog ever. I figured I would start this blog so every one will know how we are all doing and you can see pictures of the girls. I don't email that much any more and have ALOT of pictures to show so I figured this would be best. We are doing OK. As most of you know Paul will be gone for a year for work and so we are staying with my mom and dad for awhile. The girls enjoy having the space to run around and Allison loves to help grandpa pick stuff in the garden. Allison is loving school. She will not let me walk her to her class any more. She is becoming Miss independent. =] I got her a new Leapfrog game player and she LOVES IT. I think she is getting tired of the two games I got her so will have to see if I can get her another one. But she has learned allot from those games. She can't wait for Halloween. She wants to be snow white and she talks about it all the time. I think she just can't wait until she gets the candy ehhehe.

Well gotta tell you about Olivia OMG she has grown so much. She is a grumpy two year old already. She will be 2 on Oct 9th. I just doesn't seem like she is that old. Time is flying by. He new fav thing is streaking. She has found out how to take off her cloths and streak around the house. I guess it is OK sense we are trying to potty train her. She is just to funny. She will make you laugh all the time. She loves to spit at you and stick her toung out at you. He laugh is a contagious laugh. She too I think is getting excited to have Halloween come. I have gotten her costume already and she loves it. I actually ended up getting two. A princess and tinker bell. Well the tinker bell one is two small so what I did was I put the wings from that and added it to the princess one and it looks so cute.

Well as for me I have been getting along. I miss Paul but a year will go by fast. I have been trying to keep busy so that it will fly. I am excited for Halloween to come one of my fav holidays. I am going to dress up my mom and dads house in Halloween style this year. It will be a blast. Well I will end this for now and write tomorrow or so. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and check back often.
