Random Thoughts

Izzy wanted candy right after breakfast this morning. I told her no and she sighed and said, "You're such a boring mom...you can't live at my house." "Where should I live?" I asked. "At the airport." she replied.
I've never thought about living there, I do love flying though, so...
I made Mom's asparagus chowder for the Stake Presidency Social last night. I have to admit that it feels great to have moments when what I create tastes just like Mom's. Ahhh, it was delightful. (There were leftovers, so I'm looking forward to lunch!!)
I went to Mimi's this week with my clogging friends and I have to say that it continually surprises me how much joy I find in something that's technically exercising. I love, love, love it!!

ps -I started this a week ago and finished today (Dec. 7) - I don't know how to change the date

So I just asked Izzy about a scrape on her finger. She told me she got it from Scott's tool stuff. When I told her she shouldn't be playing with his tools she responded, "I didn't! It just jumped into my finger! Really, it did! I'm telling the truth!"

We had a family night lesson on being honest this week and apparently this is the result.

A few weeks ago Ryan found a small lego piece and he told me it was one of the Eddy's. I asked him how it came to be at our house and he replied, "I don't know...maybe it traveled in my pocket."

Honesty...it's a work in progress over here.

For those of you who don't know, we have a little cat in our family now. She is a very sweet and calm cat and amazingly patient for what she puts up with from Isabelle. Izzy named her Sparkles and then changed it to Seraphina, so now she is Seraphina-Sparkles Johnson - although Ryan thinks we should have Scott as a middle name, so add that in as well. Did I tell you she is patient? She would have to be with a name like that. Honestly, she mostly gets called cat or kitty.

pictures?

Okay, it would be wise for me to have someone teach me what to do, but now I'm going to attempt to add pictures since I didn't on the last one and I can't see how to add after publishing - if you don't want to be a learning guinea pig, check back in a few weeks, maybe I'll have it by then!

By the way, I am aware that Ryan looks like a Jedi in the Mickey picture, he was wearing Scott's jacket and couldn't get out of it fast enough for the quick picture. Oh well, who says we don't have style?

Disneyland

So I'm venturing into the world of the bloggers and although I may not be all that literate, I hope it helps to keep us connected to y'all that we love.



So our Disneyland trip was a wonderful success!!! We had such a marvelous time. Although we didn't get as much Allen time as we may have hoped, it was really great to ride the rides with those that we could!



The princess lunch was very fun and I have to admit that Isabelle is hilarious. I really brought her a princess dress to wear, but she only wanted her fancy shoes, so as the pictures were being taken she had a hard time holding still because she wanted her shoes showing.



Ryan came home with an Indiana Jones dress-up set and tried to sneak his machete to church for choir practice yesterday. I confiscated it and then Scott took over and had a few swings before I had to take it from him too. I guess there is always a bit of kid in us!
