good advice

Yesterday we went to the pet store to get some supplies to clean our fish tank we got last month for the boys. When we were leaving this very kind old mad gave some good advice. He said to cherish the moments the boys are young. What matters are the memories in your heart. He also recommended that I journal at least 5 sentences per day and those will bring back the memories for that entire day. He said I know we are strangers but I do it and it works. He was very kind with good advice. Because of him and talking about journals it reminded me how my Grandpa Kimball use to journal. I remember him writing in his black day timer when we would go visit. Thanks to that old man I got to have a memory brought up about my Grandpa and his love.

tie dye

On September 1, 2012 my My mom and my sister Jamie and her children Jordan, Madison and Korbin along with their 2 foreign exchange students Sakie and Thomas came up and we tie dyed t-shirts. It was so much fun all the shirts we made. Than I had pick up the free Edible Wasatch Magazine and found the best homemade pizza dough recipe I have ever had, I do not ever want to buy pizza again I want to make my own from now on and it was fun.

Time to tie!

Ready set dye!

Gabriel got in on the action!

Korbin turns 5! Pool Party

Ok so Korbin turned 5 and we went to his Grandpa Mathews house for a pool party to celebrate. I can not tell you how much fun I had so I am just going to share photos.

our home

recycle old front door knob!

We did it we moved back into my Hubbys child hood home and thanks to Pintrest I have been having so much fun putting up pictures and hanging quotes and upcycling or recycling some of the things I have. I am loving all my things and my home all the more! The thing about Pintest is that it makes me feel so creative but than what? How do I follow through! Well I have done the little things! Like old door knob pulls idea at urbanoutfitters! All the quotes, picture arrangement. Oh the IDEAS! I do have to mention that it can be bad on the figure because I have made cookie dough to just eat and mug brownies, brownie-in-a-mug. Some times easy is bad!

family pictures with quotes!

Vinyl on mirror closet bought at k-mart!

On another note the boys and I went to see The Lorx at the Flood Street Theater with their 5 cousins yesterday. They almost made it to the end of the movie. They love to get together with their cousins.

 

The cousins stayed the night at Nana and Papa house so bright and early we went to play with them. That is always fun. Nana and Papa made Plans to go swimming at the Veyo Pool. I love that old pool. It has a good kiddie side. The boys got brave and started to jump off the side step in the pool into Nana and my arms. We also raced back and forth with Jordan and Korbin. The boys had an ice cream. When I went to pay for the ice cream Gabriel realized that I was going to get some change. (He LOVES money) I told him he could have the coins the teller handed him the coins and he looks at her and says ohhh thank you! the teller thought he was so cute. I think that made his day. He did not want to share his cone with me. All and all a wonderful day.
