yummy!

Every year, my awesome dad ropes in Reno NV. I usually go with them for a mini vacay & it is my absolute favorite, but I was not able to make it this time. :( I know, very sad... but I think I will be ok. Anyhow, I found myself missing that yucky overkill smell of smoke and the sounds of the slot machines, but most of all... I missed the Tuxedo berries that me and my mom happened upon one day when we were walking through the Eldorado.

These aren't the actual berries that we found but they look just as great!!!

I think these ones look so cute too!! They are Baby Berries from Shari's Berries .

I have never ordered any but when I can afford a box I am going to buy some for myself because they always look amazing! :)

mom

My sister Stephanie sent me this email the other day! Thank you!!!!! But it is so cute so if you have a sec, read it!

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'
The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'
Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'
'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'
'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'
'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'
God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

free kittens!!

If you remember right, I have 5 kittens and there are only 4 in the picture above. Maui is there too, but the little black one is trying to climb up my back as I'm taking this picture. He is everywhere!

So our little kittens are getting so big! We were gone all weekend (thank you Wade & Ash for feeding them), but when I got home... they all ran to me!! They are so cute! They are at the really fun stage! Shelly, your little yellow guy snuggled with me last night & he's got the cutest little purr!! Last night was their first time drinking milk out of a bowl and they were pretty good at it! I think it is almost time for other people to love them so if you need one, then I'm more than glad to give you one! I must admit, they are the perfect gift for your loved one!!!!

what is the matter with me?

Another week almost down and I don't have anything to blog about! Let's see, Maui's babies all have their eyes open and they are getting bigger- but they still look like bobble heads cause they aren't real strong yet. They are so cute though. Everyone still teases Jade that he is the father of my little yellow kitten cause his head his huge and he is the biggest one of the litter! I will take some more pics soon so you can see, and really... i need to get rid of them so please anybody!!
Also, I have already killed half of my plants that I planted in Relief Society. I swear... I'm still proud of them and I will watch over them until they are shriveled and gone, but I will keep fighting for them no matter what it takes. :)
Tomorrow is my official first day of the rodeo season. Jade is up in Price in the morning, Tooele tomorrow night, and Evanston on Saturday. It should be a good time and I'm excited to stay with Jade's family as I haven't seen them in forever! Mom has to speak in church on Sunday so don't worry, we'll be here! I'm sure that makes my primary kids pretty happy due to the fact that our lessons are usually 10 minutes long and the rest of our time is spent playing hangman or pictionary. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you soon!

Well I finished my book this weekend! It was pretty good. I guess I would recommend it! It is kind of one of those "I am Legend" things, but not scary. Just shows about Earth and humans hiding out.... So I don't know what to read now, any suggestions???
