Ok maybe I m just to being dorkySo it's you all's turn to ask me questions..Let me know what you what to know and I will answer it. Hope everyone is haveing a great day..

A little bit of sewing.. A little bit of Shopping... and a little bit of thinking..

The one positive part about school starting is that I get to have baby M again..

I love this sweet little girl as if she was my own..

Yesterday was her 2nd birthday so I just had to make her something fun!!

So I made this little diddy..

I cant wait to see what it looks like on her..

I have been doing a little bit of shopping

since Dale has been home..

I popped my head into Joannes for just a minute to pick up the makings for Baby M's

tutu and fell in love with this set of fat quarters.

I am going to make a runner for Halloween out of it.

We also bought new family room furniture.. It is so super comfy.

We are also getting new carpet.. I cant wait.

Dale also gave me permission to get a new living room set as well .

You know we are doing our part in trying to stimulate the economy.

So on to the thinking part..

I have been thinking I should finish all my unfinished projects.

Like this sweet little apron I started last October.

All I have to do is put the waist band in and the ties and then it is done.

I also have been thinking how hard it is going to be when I take Ben to Kindergarten for the first time.

I cant belive my Baby is so old..

I really never thought I would see the day all my kids were in school..

So my friends what have you all been up to?

My poor mouth...

No I did not have botox injections..

I went to the dentist today and to get some of my dental work done.

After an hour I looked in the mirror and relised

My lip was swollen twice the size it should be.

My jaw hurts and my gums sting..

If I really dint need the work done I would never go to the dentist again ..

No offence DR. Coyne..

Hopefully I will look better soon..

Oh and here is a peek at my new Coach purse..

Isn't she lovely!!

I think I will name her Janna or should I name her Clare?

I am a spoiled girl..

My hubby spoiled me rotten with gifts.He did a little shopping befor he came home. OK a lot of shopping  according to the guys he was with.One of the first thing said to me from the guys he was with was" Boy your man sure likes to shop"Yes he does I am a very lucky girl that way, he loves to spoil me with gifts.

The fun set is a carry on bag a purse a wallet, perfume, and a head band.It is all Burberry London brand.He also got me the matching swing coat..I would show you a pic but I dropped my camera and I think I broke it. Bummer..He also got me a yummy Coach purse and a fun dooney and bourke..He wont show me the other purses yet..It's killing me to think of what other yummy brand named purse he snagged.I really do have the best Hubby in the world!!

Not home 72 hours and already in trouble..

My son comes into the house and said you might want to come see this mom..

I thought gee what did the kid do now?

instead I see this..

Yep thats roght my husband pulled over by the Palmer police.

I looked at the neighbors who were in fits of giggles and said he better be talking his way out of a ticket.

After the officer left he drove into the drive way grinning.

I said you are so grounded..

He said what all he wanted to do was look at the car..

I said liar.. He said no really he just wanted to check out the car..

He then told me the truth..

He peeled out in front of the cop.

He did not realize it until he was headed back home and ready to turn into the drive way.

evidently thats when the cop finally turned on his lights.

I so how did you talk your self out of a ticket.

He grinned and said . I used a few trump cards.

A. His trooper ID.

B. he explained that it was the first time he got to drive his car since coming

home from a war zone..

Id say he was a pretty lucky duck..

He's home!!!!

Thanks for all the prayers good wishes and support over the last 4 months..

I will tell you all about the homecoming later..

This is what happens when you let a 5 year old decorate his cake..

Ben was very proud of it when he was done..

My teeth hurt just looking at it..

On a side note..

Dale is i the air on his way home..

17 hours and counting..

I love Lucy!!

I am in a I love Lucy apron swap..

The Idea is to make an apron that reminds you of Lucy, or to use Lucy fabric.

Well my gal really wanted Lucy fabric there was a mix up in my order and I got skull fabric instread..

So I went with plan B and made an apron based on Lucy's famous blue polka dot dress.

I really love how it turned out.

(this is my best impression of Lucy)

I think Lucy will be proud.

Lets just hope my partner likes it...

Yummy Fried Mozzarella..

                             
                           Mylissa asked if she could make fried cheese sticks last night from scratch.
I was a little hesitant, I really did not think it would work..I did not want to discourage her from developing her cooking talent so I let her.I am so glad I did. They were so super yummy, she did an amazeing job!!

Here is the recipe it is easy peasy and oh so yummy!! INGREDIENTS  2 eggs, beaten
 1/4 cup water
 1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
 1/3 cup cornstarch
 1 quart oil for deep frying
 1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese sticks
DIRECTIONS
 In a small bowl, mix the eggs and water.
 Mix the bread crumbs and garlic salt in a medium bowl. In a medium bowl, blend the flour and cornstarch.
 In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
 One at a time, coat each mozzarella stick in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs and finally into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
 

Moral Dilemma..

 Ben is not fully immunized because of health and personal reasons. So when I was registering him for kindergarten I  got the exempt form for immunizations, it states no personal reasons only religious and medical. I talked to the school nurse 2 years ago and she just told me to fill out the religious form  because the medical form is really hard to get singed on a partially immunized child. I thought OK she new my reasons it should be no big deal until I saw that it needed to me notarized.Can I with my integrity in tact fill out this form with my religion stated on it when my religion has no stand on immunizing or not.I have put a lot of thought into what I should do I think it would be OK because if you want to be techanal religion is your personal belief.So it really is an oxymoron when the paper states no personal beliefs.Still is it morally right?Heck at this point I might say I practice two religions 1. being LDS 2. religion according to Jennifer.Do you think I can get away with stating I am from the religion of Jennifer.. 

We will be together soon.

I love these pics!! this one was taken Christmas eve day last year.

All my kids where there and everyone one dressed how they liked and was happy!!

I look at this pic often and smile..

This was taken Christmas eve 2005.

Our family was all together all 10 of us.

I don't have many pix of the 10  of us and this one just makes me smile.

It was just a quick snap shot that we took after church.

My kid were so excited to open the rest of there presents and I was just in bliss haveing everyone together.

I love when my family is together we have so much fun!!

I hate when we are separated by miles or countries and even Heaven.

So when we are together we try and always make the best of it.

So needless to say I am so excited that My husband will be with us again in 3 short days..

We miss him so much!!

Expecally me.

He is truly my Hero my, my lover and my best friend..

So what do you all do in the summer time?

It's 4 am and I cant sleep

So what do I do I blog about it.I have been tossing and turning for hours.. couldn't stand laying there any longer.SooooI have cleaned the bathroom.made a grocery list.Taken my toe nail polish off.Checked my one email.looked at face book.weighed my self looked at all my fat areas in the mirrorsmoothed them out and pretend they weren't there.contemplated if I still need a boob job the answer is no I dont need one but yes I still want oneread all the hot gossip in people magazine .reminded my self that no celebrity looks that good in real life.They all have cellulite and saddlebags just like me.and I am still not sleepy.I dislike it strongly when this happens.I guess I will just go back and lay down until I need to get up in 4 hours. 

How sweet is this...

Before Dale left he recorded himself reading books so that the kids could read with him at night.

Ben loves watching his daddy read to him.

When I put the DVD in he instantly calms down and reverently listens to his Dad.

Ben has the same book that his Dad is reading so he can fallow along.

It is so sweet because he reads right a long and will say good job Daddy as if he was there.

On a side note It's this little monsters Birthday today , But we aren't telling him.

The reason why because Daddy will be home in just a week. Yep thats right a week from today.

So we decided to tell Ben his birthday is when Daddy gets home.

If you are local you have to keep it hush hush that Dale is coming home on thursday because I told them it was Friday

We have a fun surprise in store for them..

Time is flying by so until Dale is home we can hardly wait.
