We found the greatest sight ever!!

My friend Jennie and I were nosing around Good Reads and found a website call Book Mooch. This is our newest "game"! It is a website that you can exchange books on. This is how it works: You list in your inventory all of the books that you are willing to trade. You list in your wishlist all of the books that you would like to receive. From here it is all based on a point system; every book you list you earn a tenth of a point, every book you send out to someone you earn a full point. In exchange when you find a book a you would like to "mooch" it costs you a point. The only money that exchanges hands is when you have to pay for shipping it to them. If you are a reader this is a great way to save money on books; granted you could always go to the library for totally free!!!

We have only been doing it two days and already we are already sending out 7 books!!! See the link on right to check it out!

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Curt would be a Pocahantas Princess!!!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

Rummage Sale Success!!!

Today my friend Jennie, her mother, and myself set up a rummage sale in front of the house! It was a great success....$450 all together between the three of us! I wish I had lots of "treasures" like this to sell everyday.

A few of the highlights...

1. Police stopping by looking for a man
2. Three school buses stopping to make purchases
3. A little too much skin shown in the "back" area
4. A few interesting characters

What else Jennie?

Confession...

I have become a blogaholic. I am addicted to playing on my blog, adding songs, changing colors around and the worst of all....looking at random people's blogs and actually reading them like I know them! I feel a little "weird" doing it but I love to get ideas and look at people's happy memories. The next to do on my blog is to find a fantastic background; that is what I am using as my excuse for looking at other people's blogs!

For Talmage, Avery, and Peyton too!

Here are a couple of pictures of your onion plant growing in front of your house. We have had a lot of rain lately so between Mother Nature and Roger; it is being well taken care of! I hope you had a great birthday and are having lots of fun with your family in Utah.

Favorite Games

Curt and I have been playing a lot more games lately; of course it's more me begging him to play with me and then we have a good time. For some reason he doesn't really enjoy playing board games too much. I always hear the story of him tossing a board game when he was losing as a child. (I've heard this both from his mother and his brother so it must be true!)

These are our favorites as of late...


Blockus- thanks Maria for the recommendation. My cousins really enjoyed this one too on the 4th of July. It is recommended by the Mensa group so since Curt and I play it and understand how to play it; that must mean we are really smart, right?


Sequence- this is Curt's favorite. My little sister Shaveonte got this for me one Christmas and Curt and I played it in Florida while we were visiting with his brother. We've since taught my family how to play it as well.


Rummikub-this is my favorite as you do a lot of moving the tiles around and swapping pieces. My family used to play this a lot but it was forgotten and recently pulled out again.

Happy Birthday Makenzie!!



Today we celebrated my niece Makenzie's 4th birthday!
Makenzie has lots of energy and spunk! She loves to play with babies and be like her big sister.
The family went out to dinner and then came back to my parent's house for cake and ice cream!
My friend Jennie made the mermaid birthday cake for us. It was delicious!
Below is a video of us singing happy birthday to Makenzie; she didn't like all of the attention.

Listen to the greatest laugh out there!
