"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Wanna keep your kids busy for a while?


We luckily live in a gated complex where the kids car ride in the street.
We had some chalk so I decided to draw them a little town with a road to ride their scooters on. There is even a jail for when they don't obey traffic signs!

Here is their house. and Trevor insistedwe put "Fish Lake (Utah) on here

There is a parking lot and a gas station too.

It really does keep them busy. I can just sit on a chair and read. (Still trying to finish book 4 of the Twilight saga) I know I know I''m behind.

Go get some chalk (I got a huge bucket at the dollar store) and make your kids a town. They will love it!

Beach in March


On Monday my mom wanted to ride out to the beach. So we took off to Newport. The kids love the beach and I was a little worried that it would be too cold but it ended up being a nice day.

We took a walk on the pier. The kids liked to look over into the water.

Trevor loved the pigeons.

cheese!


Hollie listening to the ocean in the big shell.

Trevor played in the freezing water most of the time.

some cool pictures


playing in the sand

our sand castle. Then we rode the ferry and went home.

Visiting papa Sox


Trevor and Hollie saying hello

then they each held grandpa's hand.


Trevor found the rubber gloves and was operating on grandpas arm.
Hollie being silly

Hug's for everyone!

My cute brother Jeffy and grandpa and I.
Grandpa Sox recently had a stent put in the artery in his heart. There was a 2% chance he could become paralyzed. He ended up being that 2%. He probably won't walk again.
We love you Papa Sox

crib/toddler bed mattress and changing table pad



Hey I have a crib/toddler bed mattress for sale. We paid $85.00 for it and I am selling it for $40.00. It is in really good shape. It's white with a white floral design. I also have a changing table pad that is the same color with the same floral design. Selling it for $20.00. Both in very good condition.

Going Private

I've really been thinking about going private. I've been getting a ton of anonymous comments and wanted to do this since Hollie started school. If you would like to be added please send me your email.
Thanks

China Town


Yesterday the kids and I rode the train to China Town in Los Angeles with Hollie's school.


The kids were so excited. This is our FIRST ever (real) train ride


They fought over the window seat and loved to look outside.



I loved all the cool buildings and all the colors.




We had a fun day.
