Did you think to pray?

Every Monday, we wrangle the kids up, sit in the front room and have Family Home Evening.  It consists of Braxton and Trent fighting over who gets to conduct, who gets to lead the song, and who gets to say the opening and closing prayers.  After it's all decided, Tenley crawls up to the front and "helps" whichever brother won out! 

Here she is saying the prayer during Dad's lesson.  Notice she is sitting on the TV ledge, folding her arms, and she has a huge hole in her sock.  Oh to be 16 months old and not a care in the world!  =)

Ants!

Well, I've gotten this really neat "ant farm" type thing. I was originally going to get something like it for Ryan, Kelly and the kids, but I was talked out of it. I thought it looked really cool, so I got one for myself (my early birthday present to myself, I suppose). I've posted their daily progress in a section of my website that I didn't make any sort of layout for, you'll basically just see the directory of the files. However, they will sort numerically based on the date.

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on for visiting Utah. Hopefully I won't get stuck here and miss the family reunion and visiting my family in Utah. Oh well, at least I have my ants.

Dead!

Are you ever really ready for death?  You know that it can't last forever- but you're never really ready when the end comes so suddenly!  You can see that memory is slipping, you try your best to keep things comfortable... then BAM!  Your husband says, "do you need anything off your computer before I put this new memory in?"

That should have been my warning sign where a little voice in my head says, "backup all your files before you do anything!!"  Alas, I opted to eat my taco and say, "just let me know if I got any new im's so I can check the archive later."

The time of death on my computer was 6:58pm.  I may or may not be working tomorrow, since my lappy is good for nothing!

Hooray WackyFam!

Well,
First I'd like to start off with "Hooray, Amber got a new Wacky Fam up!" and it looks great!

Not much is going on with me, just still trying to get better and figure out what's going on. As per my usual self, I always seem to be developing or working on some kind of game, and it is progressing well. Maybe I'll post a link to it here eventually. I do, however, want to find some good recipes to add to the recipe section. :)

Mother's Day Poem

Braxton was sweet this year- he wrote me a Mother's Day Poem.  It went like this:

Mom
Busy, Works
Loves to sleep
Helps Cleaning our clothes
Amber.

I've decided to take this as a sign of love, and not cry myself to sleep at night.  =)  The poem was on a little plastic cup with a flower inside- I admit the flower is already dying because I forgot to water it.  Maybe if I didn't love to sleep so much I'd remember to water the poor little thing!  Maybe I subconciously don't water the little mocking flower who dares to challenge my motherhood- take that flower!  I take care of my kids and have no time for silly mocking flowers!!  =P

The new and improved

Everyone can rest easy- the website has been updated.  Not only the look and feel, but the database behind it is new and improved.  Hopefully this will make it easier for me (and anyone in the fam who wants a login) to update the site!  Finally, it's not my sole responsibility to upkeep the website.  I am thrilled beyond belief!  =)
