Happy Birthday Avery!

Monday, February 2 was Avery's 2nd birthday! I can't believe what a big girl she has become. We had a little family party after dinner where we ate cake and ice cream, and opened her presents. She was such a happy birthday girl, all day! She would even sing Happy Birthday to herself, it was so cute!

Her day started off when she woke up, Logan and I went in her room singing Happy Birthday. She was so excited, she jumped out of her crib into my arms with a big grin. She got dressed in her new birthday dress and pink "ugg" boots. She loved her new clothes, and kept stomping around in her boots, giggling. She chose "pink" Cheerios for breakfast (the strawberry yogurt ones), and then we opened the present from Grandma and Grandpa Bowden. It was the cutest little stuffed lamb, and she immediately gave it a kiss and a hug, and "baaa'd" at it. She also got some fun little bracelets, and immediately added them to her wardrobe as well.



After Logan went to school, Aves and I went to the gym, and then to the dollar store to get a few balloons for her, and some wrapping paper since I hadn't wrapped her gifts from us yet! While she was napping that afternoon, Logan helped me make her birthday cake. I just used a Strawberry boxed cake mix and a can of strawberry frosting. I remember now why I don't like canned frosting. I should have made my own, but I was trying to go the less stress route.Anyway...then Logan helped me wrap her presents so everything was ready when she woke up.

Tony came home and we had Avery's birthday dinner. I asked her what she wanted, and she told me "chicken, duh dies (french fries), dettup (ketchup), milk" So that's what we had. I tried to throw in some clementines as well to sorta make it healthy. After dinner we sang Happy birthday again and had her blow out her candles. She did a great job! ** Please ignore the embarrassing narrator in the video following, thank you.


We then watched her open her presents. She got the Tinkerbell DVD, a boxed set of little board books, a Fisher Price Go Anywhere Girls ice cream truck, and a little Polly Pocket. I know it isn't exactly age appropriate, but she lOVES playing with little dolls, and the ones I wanted to get her were no where to be found!



Anyway...Logan had a great time changing her clothes, and combing her hair. It was so funny! We are having a birthday party for her on Saturday with a few little friends. It is a "Pinkalicious" theme, and we will basically read the story, eat pink cupcakes, play with pink balloons and send them home. It is onyl an hour, and no gifts. Super easy.She already loves this book, and has had her daddy read it to her about 50 times in the past week! Overall, she had a great birthday, and was a super happy girl! We love our little sweetsie! Happy Birthday Aves!

When I'm a Little Old Lady

I found this poem just now and thought it was hilarious! I am sorry I don't know who wrote it to give them credit. The best part about it I think, is that whoever wrote it obviously experienced all these things with their kids, and I have been enjoying almost the exact same things with my kidlets! It's nice to know that other moms have been in my shoes.... I love it when I find out I am not alone!

When I'm a Little Old Lady

When I’m a little old lady

Then I’ll live with my children and bring them great joy

to repay all I’ve had from each girl and boy

I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the floor;

run in and out without closing the door.

I’ll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed

whenever they scold me, I’ll just hang my head.



I’ll run and I’ll romp, always fritter away

the time to be spent doing chores everyday.

I’ll pester my children when they’re on the phone.

As long as they’re busy won’t leave them alone.

Hide candy in closets, rocks in drawers,

and never pick up my clothes from off the floor.



Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish.

I’ll plead for allowance whenever I wish.

I’ll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor,

as soon as they’ve mopped it, I’ll flood it some more.

When they correct me, I’ll lie down and cry,

kicking and screaming, not a tear in my eye.



I’ll take all their pencils and flashlights, and then

when they buy new ones, I’ll take them again.

I’ll spill glasses of milk to complete every meal,

eat my banana and just drop the peel.



Put toys on the table, spill jam on the floor,

I’ll break lots of dishes as though I was four;

What fun I shall have, what a joy it will be

To live with my children, like they lived with me!

Blurb

A few months ago, I won $50 off my purchase from blurb.com. I had plans to use it to make the first year of my blog into a book. Unfortunately, with life happening, and my lack of computer expertise, I just haven't had the time to really sit down and do it. This code expires in two days...the 31st.

If anyone is interested and thinks they will actually use it by then, let me know and I will send you the code. I hate to have it go to waste, but I just can't stress over it. It isn't that important to me.

I will hopefully update about the past month and our holiday soon!

Thanksgiving

Our original plans for Thanksgiving this year were to have my parents come. Of course my mom had her accident, so that plan pretty much flew out the window!I will have to tell the story about their plane tickets another time. It is interesting.

Last year our Thanksgiving was really lame. We got invited over to someone's house in our ward and woke up that morning and both Tony and Logan were sick.I hadn't planned for anything for dinner, so Avery and I went by ourselves. It just didn't feel like Thanksgiving at all!

I didn't want to be alone this year, and all our close friends here either had family in town, or had other plans. We decided to go to Blanding. It was a LONG drive, but we made it. Both the kids did so well! Avery had a hard time getting back in her seat each time we stopped, but otherwise, they were great little travelers. We woke them upWednesday morning around 5:45 a.m. and threw them in the car, hoping they would go back to sleep. Logan did nap later, but little Aves stayed awake the entire day until bedtime, around 7:30. Both the kids zonked around that time, and we finally arrived in Blanding around 9:30 p.m.Of course they got all riled up and we had a hard time getting them to bed after that.

Thursday we woke up to rain. Tony's youngest brother Andy and his wife are building a house, so all the men went out in the rain to help frame. They only lasted until about noon, and didn't get much done due to the weather. All us "women-folk" stayed indoors cooking the Thanksgiving meal. I helped Alicia make stuffing, and I made a Candied apple pie cheesecake. Of course we had a yummy dinner that day with all the goods! It was so nice to be with family!

Friday the men worked all day on the house again. I took the kids over to Tony's sister Suzie's house so they could play with their cousins. They had a great time! I wish they had cousins closer to play with. They all got along so well.And there are LOTS of little boys, so Logan had fun playing with them. At home most of the kids his age are girls!

We had Thanksgiving leftovers for lunch, and haystacks for dinner, and then some of us girls had a girl's night out! I helped raise some excitement about going to see Twilight. In Blanding, there is a small movie theater that only has one screen, and mostly only has one movie playing at a time. I was surprised to learn that Twilight was the one movie playing! It came out on opening day (for the midnight show) and is only there for three weeks.My SIL's Alicia and Shauna have both read the books, as well as my 15 year old niece Brielle. My SIL Jody hadn't read the books, but she was willing to come. I wish my other three SIL's Suzie, Amber and Marlene would have come too,but they didn't. Amber's brother was going through the temple that night, so that was a good reason to miss. Suzie offered to watch Amber's little boy Stetson, and Marlene opted to stay to help watch the rest of the kids too. We did manage to round up a few of the men a bit early from the house building to come watch kids so we could go.

It was so much fun! We were all so excited! Ok, maybe it was just me. I think my SIL's and niece think I am a Twilight obsessed psycho now. And a bit silly too. I have never had a girl's night out with them before, and it was so much fun!I am really glad my niece Brielle was able to come with us. It was a lot of fun.Have I said how much fun it was enough times now? Anyway...that brought my Twilight viewing number up to 4. I have to go at least 5 more times to beat my Titanic record!Ha ha!

Saturday was our last day there. Tony worked on Andy's house all day! I don't think I even saw him until about 7 that night when we had dinner. I ran a few errands during the day, and let the kids play over at Suzie's again. They had a great time!We all got together for a lasagna dinner that night, and then Tony and I went and loaded up the van full of boxes that we have had in storage there since before we moved to Indiana! That's been about 7 years! We finally had room enough this trip to bring it home. Now I need to get it unloaded out of my van!We will see what kinds of treasures we haven't missed in the past 7 years.

We left around 5:45 a.m. Sunday morning to drive home. We all started coming down with a cold and cough, so we weren't feeling well for our travels. The worst part of the trip was getting stuck for 4 hours in the mountians outside Denver! Seriously awful. Bumper to bumper ttraffic in horribly snowy weather. People were sliding off the roads, and we maybe went 60 miles in the four hours. Yuck! I was sooooooo glad to finally be out of that mess! But because of that, we didn't get home until 1:30 in the morning. We were glad to be home and out of the car!

We have all been sick since we got home. Tony came home from work yesterday around 11:30 a.m., and stayed home today. Logan fell asleep tonight around 5:30 and Avery was in bed by 6:45.I kept Logan home from school yesterday, but I hate to have him miss tomorrow. I hope he feels well enough in the morning. I hope we all feel better in the morning!

Anyway...when my SIL sends me some pictures of Tony working on the house, I will be sure to post them. I think I only took one picture of Tony and the kids at the dinner table, and that's all. I get too distracted and forget to take pictures!

I will be going to bed soon.Over all...we had a really nice trip, and we are so thankful for FAMILY!!!!! That's the most important thing, and I am so glad we were able to spend time with them for the holiday.

Twilight Obsession at its worst?

I am going to show how obsessed I am with this, by posting this clip, but I can't help myself. I have seen this movie twice now, and I am already trying to figure out when I can go again. I am hopeless. I can't get this song out of my head, and unfortunately it isn't on the soundtrack, but it is in a very moving part in the movie, and it's one of my favorite scenes. This clip is just a montage of clips from the movie, with this song. It is called "Let Me Sign" and is actually written and performed by Robert Pattinson who plays Edward in the movie. It is totally growing on me. I love it!

Little Models

 

It has been forever, but I can finally cross this item off my to do list!Avery has actually changed quite a bit since August, when I was supposed to have had their pictures taken! I was looking at photos of her from then, and her hair was much shorter. It's grown a lot in three months! She is such a pretty little girl!

And then there is my cute and oh so silly 4 year old. I love that little guy! I can't believe how much he has grown up, and how smart he is. It is so fun to watch him learning, and sharing his knowledge with us. Time flies...it is amazing!












I Love My Kids!

Update on Mom

Ok, so I guess I should explain a bit more what happened to my mom and how she is doing at this point. I haven't wanted to write much about things, since it took a while until we knew all the details, and as far as her condition, it changes constantly. I think things are at a point now where they are slowing down, and it is just uphill from here...hopefully.

So, on Tuesday evening, October 21st, at around 5:45 p.m., my mom was out on her daily walk.There is a greenbelt behind our house that we have walked through and played in as long as I have been alive practically. We call it the first park. There is a street at the end of this park, and across from this fairly wide road, is another subdivision, and yet another greenbelt, or park. This one is kind of in the middle of the houses in the neighborhood. We call this the second park. Then, once you exit the second park, the sidewalk begins again across that street, and it curves around the outside of this subdivision, and ends up back again across the road from the first park. Are you still with me? I know it's confusing.

Anyway...apparently when mom was crossing the road from the first park to go to the second park, she was hit by the car. My mom doesn't remember anything that happened. She doesn't even remember going on her walk at all. The last thing she remembers is being at home, thinking about going for her walk. She doesn't even remember putting her shoes on. I guess this is both a blessing and a curse. I wish she could tell us what happened, because it is so mind boggling as to how she didn't see the car coming. This road is very open and wide, and it should be easy enough for both cars and pedestrians to see the other coming, from both directions.

It turns out it was a cheerleader from the high school that hit her. She was going about 45 mph I think, and slammed on her brakes probably about the same time she actually hit my mom. There were some HS kids sitting on the wall on the edge of the park, near the road who said my mom walked out in front of the car. I have a really hard time believing that. I just can't understand why my mom would do that. It really bothers me.

From the bits and pieces I have heard about the following events, it sounded like it was a pretty serious situation. I have only heard these things from my siblings and my dad, and have kind of pieced things together, so I hope I am stating the facts accurately. I heard the police officer first on the scene reported mom as being DOA...dead on arrival, I think that means.The firefighter who was next on scene with the paramedics, happened to be a man from church, in our Stake, who noticed that mom was a member of the church by what she was wearing. He didn't recognize her, which is really sad, since he actually does know my mom. But he did whisper in her ear that he couldn't give her a blessing, but to know that the priesthood was with her. That just makes me cry. It was such a blessing that he was the one to be there, i am sure.

Mom was lifeflighted to Sharp's Memorial hospital in Mission Valley, which is about 20 minutes away, and there are two other hospitals in between that one. I guess that hospital has the best trauma unit which is why they took her there. She didn't have any ID on her, so they had her listed as Jane Doe. My dad walked in the door after work to the phone ringing, at 8:30 p.m., about 2 1/2 hours after the accident, and it was the hospital. I guess mom came to enough to tell them her name and phone number for dad.

Her injuries consisted of both arms being broken, her jaw and nose broken, and one rib broken. She also had severe lacerations on her face that required a plastic surgeon. Another blessing that occurred, was that the best plastic surgeon in the city happened to be at the hospital for something else, and was able to stitch up mom. The trauma doctors later on told mom what a great job he did on her, so that is definitely a blessing.

She was moved from Sharp's to Kaiser which is where their insurance is through, on the Saturday after the accident I think. She was able to have her own room there.

Her right arm didn't require surgery, and is only in a sling for about 6 weeks. Her left arm and shoulder is another story. This is the most severe of her injuries, and what we are all most worried about. She had to have major surgery to repair her shoulder and to place rods and screws and stuff to fix her arm. She had some nerve damage as well, and is now having to undergo a lot of therapy to hopefully regain movement in her hand and wrist, as well as the shoulder and rest of her arm. She had surgery on her jaw the Friday following the accident, and her jaw is wired shut for a few weeks. The accident also knocked out her two front teeth on the top. Her arm and shoulder surgery took place the Monday after, and she has been in terrible pain since then. She had a really bad week last week after that surgery, and is slowly improving now. They weaned her off the morphine, and she is now just on pain pills.She is able to get up and down with help now,so that is good. Her knees were bruised and scraped, but otherwise, her lower extremities and her whole midsection is relatively injury free. The trauma doctors were absolutely amazed that she didn't have serious internal injuries, or that she wasn't dead. Someone was watching out for her for sure! I think it was Derrick, personally. He has got to be his mommy's guardian angel now. He loved his mommy.

She was finally moved to a care facility earlier this week. My grandma, her mom, flew in and has been able to keep her company during the day so my dad can go to work and get things done at home. She is having her therapy daily while she is there, and although she really wants to go home, she will stay there for almost another week. They are planning on letting her go home next Friday or Saturday.So, from the day of the accident, until she gets to go home will be about 3 1/2 weeks.

My grandma will hopefully be able to stay until she goes home, and then next week my aunt is planning on going to help mom for a few weeks until my sister goes at the beginning of December.I guess I need to look into going around the second week in December. I guess that still gives me some time to make plans.

I have been able to talk to my mom a few times when I happen to call my dad's cell phone when he is there with her. She is able to talk really well even with her jaw wired shut, but she gets tired quickly, so we can't talk too long. I really miss being able to talk to my mom. I am used to talking to her almost daily, and just unloading about all the things my kids have done that day.It is also really hard not being able to be there, or to see her to really know what she is going through.The good thing is, that it seems like she is recovering faster than the doctors even expected, and all I can do is be grateful for all those little blessings, and the little miracles that have occurred in the midst of this horrible situation.I am so thankful that she is still with us! She still has a long road ahead of her to get back to her normal routine, but it will happen.There are MANY prayers being offered in her behalf. Prayer is a powerful thing! I know it really works. Thanks to all of you who have kept her in your thoughts and prayers. I know it has made all the difference.

On some normal life topics...I took the kids to get pictures taken today. I am WAY overdue for it. I should have had Logan's 4 year old pix taken back in May, and Avery's 18 month pictures taken in August! So, technically, Logan is still 4, almost 4 1/2 really, but it counts. And Avery, I can just say is 1 1/2. It works, right? She will have to get her pictures taken again in February when she turns 2 though! But, the pictures turned out so stinking cute! Logan had a silly face in most of his, but Avery looks like a DOLL in all of hers, and it was hard to not buy them all! My favorite though, is the one of them both together, and they are standing up hugging each other. It is so sweet! I love it! I am so proud of my cute cute children!I will post them for sure as soon as I get them! I have to show them off!

October Fun

This has been a rough few weeks with my mom's accident, and I haven't felt like blogging much. I have a lot to catch up on!

Cider Mill

We went to the Cider Mill for a play group activity earlier in October. It was a fun outing. We got to see how they make apple cider, and then got some to taste, as well as a cider donut! Yum! We also went on a hay ride, got to pick a pumpkin, and play in some of the other things they had there.












Ward Halloween Trunk or Treat

We had our ward Trunk or Treat and Chili Cook-off the week before Halloween. Tony and I got a little crazy and volunteered to perform the Thriller Dance for the ward party. There were about 8 of us total by the day of the performance. It was really fun, and I totally enjoyed myself.It has been a long time since I have done something like that, and I wish there were more opportunities.I think Tony was the best zombie around!

The kids had a fun time too. Avery hung on to her pumpkin bucket for dear life and wouldn't let me help her with it even when it was getting so heavy. Even Logan was complaining about it being so heavy!







FHE Carving Pumpkins

For Family Home Evening, we carved pumpkins! Well, Tony and Logan carved them, and I took pictures and helped Avery. Logan drew his face on his pumpkin, and then Tony carved it for him. He did a great job! We asked him what his pumpkin's name was, and he said "Pumpkin Man". The we asked him what daddy's pumpkin's name was, and he thought for a minute and then said "Man Pumpkin". Sounds good to me!








Play Group Halloween Party

The Tuesday before Halloween, we had a Halloween party for play group. We met at the church, and the kids wore their costumes, and we passed out candy, and they colored and basically ran wild in the gym. It was joyous. We also did the chicken dance. That's a must for any kid activity!




Halloween

Tonight, we got together with some friends for a yummy dinner of chili and homemade rootbeer! I drank so much root beer!It's good stuff! We took the kids trick or treating, and had a really fun time. It was a beautiful night! I was almost hot!Tony pulled Avery and her friend Savannah in the wagon, and Logan ran along with the other kids. At one point he was running after his friend Dakota yelling "Best Friends Forever!" I wonder where he got that from? I got Avery out every now and then and either carried her up to the door, or let her walk. She hung on tight to her pumpkin bucket again and did not want to let it go! At one house, Logan went up to the door and said "I need some water!" I was so embarrassed! It was so nice though, cause the man went and got him a cup of water to take with him. Silly kid!Overall, we had a lot of fun this month with all the festivities.











Happy Halloween!

Primary Program, Saturday, and Mom

Primary Program
Today was the Primary Program at church. It was a proud mama day, since it was my first time having a child in the program! Actually, I had both kids in it! They had the nursery kids come up at the end to sing "I am a child of God".It was so cute!

Logan had a very simple part. He got to say " Hi, my name is Logan. I am a child of God." He has had this part down for a long time...it isn't hard...but I decided earlier this week to practice it again to be sure.

I said, "Logan, let's say your part for the primary program!"

He says, " Hi, my name is Logan. What's your name?"

Oh no! I was really worried that he would be silly and say that today, but he didn't. He said the right part, thankfully! Although it would have been hilarious if he didn't!

I was also a bit nervous about Avery going up on the stand. I was afraid of her screaming like a banshee, like she does. She didn't act bothered at all! She stood up there with her finger in her mouth almost the whole time. Then she yelled.."mama! dada!" and then tried to sing something at the very end. When she came back down to sit by us, she was clapping her hands and saying "Yay! Woo-hoo!" She is so funny!

This afternoon, I took the opportunity to have a nice Sunday nap while Avery was sleeping. When she woke up, I heard her in her bed, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" and yelling other things to let us know she was awake. I was being lazy and didn't go get her right away, and finally heard her yelling " Det out" "Det out" and then after a pause... "Mommy... Det me out!"

I was so surprised! I hopped right up to go get her out! I couldn't believe that she said a full sentence! Of course, she wouldn't say it again after that. She is growing up so fast. It's crazy!

My week-end has been crazy, so I am going backwards here. Saturday was Logan's last day of Soccer (thank goodness!) He got a medal at the end, and couldn't be more proud! He wanted to wear it to church today, but we managed to keep it home.

Saturday
Saturday afternoon I went to the Holiday Mart at the convention center. It was really fun! It was really overwhelming, and I only ended up buying a cute pumpkin votive holder, and a breast cancer survivor necklace for my friend for her birthday.I just couldn't decide on anything, and was just taking it all in. Now I know more what to expect, so I can have a better spending plan for next year.

When I got home, we loaded up the family and went to a Family Harvest Festival at the local Nazarene College. It was totally free! We had hot dogs, chips, popcorn, cotton candy, and soda for dinner...for free. They had all kinds of inflatables and carnival games for the kids to do, complete with prizes and everything. And at the end as we were leaving, each child got a nice big bag of candy. It was a great activity for the family, and even better since it was all free! You can't beat that!

Mom
I was able to talk to my mom today and on Friday. She had her jaw surgery Friday night, and is scheduled to have surgery on her arm and shoulder tomorrow. Please pray for that surgery to go well, as it is the most severe of her injuries, and what we are all the most worried about at this time.

My brother Scott and his two boys, Carson and Cody, and my sister Kristy drove down from Idaho last minute last night and got there this afternoon. My mom said she was rejuvenated having them there, so I am so glad they were able to go. When I talked to her today, she really did sound in good spirits. I was also amazed at how well she could speak considering her jaw is wired shut. I didn't think she would be able to talk for the next few weeks.

My sister said she is looking better than she was expecting, so I am relieved to hear that. The swelling is going down, and the bruising is fading, so I am sure she will continue to heal and be looking like mom soon. I know that Heavenly Father is watching over mom, as there have been many tender mercies, and miracles that have occurred in this situation. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful extended family, who have a strong testimony of the power of fasting and prayer.Miracles happen becuase of the faith of these family members.

I will write more later! I am being summoned by a crying child!

Thriller

Ok, on a light note, I am actually performing Thriller at our ward Halloween Party tonight. In an attempt to figure out my costume, I googled the Thriller video to watch. I also found this video, and I was cracking up! So, for Halloween, you should all go learn the Thriller dance!

Ha ha! Enjoy!



I will update about my mom later on!

Sad News

It is 12:30 in the morning and I don't know what else to do other than blog. I can't go to sleep. My phone rang around 10:45 p.m. and it was my brother calling to tell me that my mom had been hit by a car. I am shock. I don't know what to do. I hate living so far away! It isn't easy to get home, and even if it was, what would I do with the kids?

I still don't know any of the details, and I am sure she will eventually be fine. What I understand so far is that she has a broken arm,jaw and eye socket, as well as some lacerations on her face.My poor mom. My heart breaks for her and my dad to have to go through something like this. I feel like one major trial in our family is enough...why do we need something like this? Why did it have to happen to my poor, sweet, little mom? She doesn't deserve this. I know she is strong, and she is tough, but still.

Part of me is really upset that now my parents can't come visit me for Thanksgiving.I was so excited and really looking forward to their visit, especially since they were going to be here for almost two weeks. We just got their plane tickets last week.

I am just so sad about all of it. Just sad. Life is sad. I am tired of being sad.I feel like throwing up.

I am tired and sad, and probably will regret posting this in the morning. But it's how I feel right now, so I am posting it.

Twilight Trailer!!!!!!!!!!

Twilight HD Exclusive Trailer

Finally!

I FINALLY did something I have been wanting to do for a LONG time this last week! I joined the gym! I know there isn't any dance involved, but there are classes, and that's what I enjoy doing. I am not very good at motivating myself to work out. I decided that I really needed some classes to hold me accountable. Since Logan has started Pre-school, I figured that the 2 1/2 hour block that he is there, MWF, would be a great time for me to exercise. I signed up at Bally's, since they had a really great deal at the time, and I know another girl from church who goes there as well. They have Yoga on Mondays and Fridays, and Pilates on Wednesdays during my time slot. I have gone to the pilates class twice now and it is a killer! It has been really hard for me, and I enjoy pilates!I was sooo sore last week after wards, but that was great!I met with the trainer on Friday for my free session, and then tried Yoga on Monday, and pilates again today. I have never been sold on yoga, but I will give it a chance. I just really really hate downward dog! I remember doing that in my modern dance class at BYU, and hated it then, and still hate it now. Especially when you do it about 500 times in one hour!

I have been taking Avery to the childcare, and overall she does fine. The first day she didn't cry at all. Each time since then, she cries when I leave her, but only for a bit and then she is fine the rest of the time. She loves the slide and is always playing on it when I go pick her up!

Anyway...I am really happy. I am enjoying having that scheduled time to go, where I just fit it into my routine for the day, and it works great. I love having that time for myself again after all these years, and I can already tell a difference in my emotional state just by having that release.I never used to consider myself someone who got stressed out easily, but have noticed that I have turned into a stress basket lately. I haven't had my normal form of stress release.

So, hooray for me! I hope to be able to maintain my enthusiasm and continue to go on a regular basis. So far so good!

Something to make you laugh!

I just found this funny site called Yearbook Yourself. My friend Amiee had it on her blog, and it was funny, so I decided to try it out. My photo editing skills aren't that great, but you will get the idea. Ha ha ha! I was cracking myself up! Take a look and see for yourself, then tell me your favorites!
