Week 2

Had two sick boys this week and a lucky girl that never caught whatever it is the boys had. Hallelujah!! She stresses out whenever she misses school....which makes me hope that this next week will go alright because we are taking the kids out of school to go House Hunting this upcoming week in Elko. Heaven Help Us, I hope we find something because there seems to be a Home/Apartment Shortage out in the middle of nowhere Elko...go figure!

Anyhoo, to end this short post I want to pose a question to whomever may read this - to preface it, let me share a little something that I overheard on Friday while eating lunch at Subway with my family...there were a bunch of business guys eating at a table right by us and they were having a discussion/lunch meeting about Customer Service and how the company's reps might give better service. It was a pretty intense conversation. Anyway, at the end of the conversation, one of the guys says to the other, "Gosh, I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't depress you. It really wasn't my intention to depress you with all that we've talked about today", to which the man he's speaking to replies, "Oh no, you didn't depress me at all ~ That's my Wife's job!" *chuckle, Chuckle, Laugh, Laugh* Needless to say, I was about to turn around and give that man the Stink Eye, and then punch him in the eye!! I was so UPSET! Aaron on the other hand found my anger a bit amusing because he says that the guy only meant it in jest. So I asked him, is that something men find funny??? Making wives the brunt of a joke? It also got me to thinking though , how many of us Wives whine about our husbands behind their back? I made a promise to myself right then and there to only speak about the good in my husband (which I think I already try to do..well, most of the time) and that if I ever run into the guy again, I really will Punch him!! {c'mon, y'all know I won't}. Oh and my question to you all is, "How often do you find yourself complaining about your spouse behind their back, even if it is only in jest?"

P.S. I know the picture has NOTHING to do with the post, but I find I like posting pics up with a post, better than not. :D It was a picture taken this week so I guess it is somehow related...right?

Happy Father's Day Dad!


I searched and searched and searched for a pic of my Dad and this was all I could find...I was pretty sad, but at least I found one right :) Anyhoo, with all my searching, this posting comes a day late.....but as they always say, better late than never right? (A posting for Papa Aaron is on it's way...you guys should see all the fun pics I found for that post...hehehe...he would kill me if he ever read my blogs...who knows, maybe one day he will...you'll all know, when you hear that I've been killed...bwahahahahaha!)
For all the father's Blessings, silly jokes, pancakes, navajo fried bread, being my "thing" to bring to show & tell, coming to my volleyball games even if I was the benchwarmer, counseling me when I needed it most, and telling me not to cry as we danced our Daddy Daughter dance at my wedding, I love you Dad!!! But I love you most of all for being such a loving Tutu Man ~ my keiki love you to pieces and praying for you every night has made them feel even closer to you! Here's to you Dad, and to many more Happy Father's Days!!!!

"Fingerprint Moments"



So I just wanted to quickly explain "Fingerprint Moments"....been thinking a lot lately, and I'm sure it's just because I'm still post partum-ish, but I've been having pretty sentimental moments/thoughts. Everytime I see my kids playing nicely together, or fighting, or sleeping..you know whatever... I feel like I have to take a mental (or real) picture...why??? Because every moment in my life are "fingerprint moments"...each one unique...never to be created again in the exact same way. The only way I can get them to stay ~ indelible~ is to get out my heavy camera and "catch it". Maybe that's why I've decided to blog. I want my kids to remember; I want them to see My Memories of them and of life as it happened that day, in that moment. Hopefully, blogging doesn't become such an "addiction" that I miss those moments....
