New Stamp Book

OK so apparently it is tacky to have a stamp log with lined paper.  So I went on a search to get a new book with plain paper and found one.  I am sad that my other book will be retired.  We went to the zoo yesterday.  What do you know?  There is one there too.  The baby elephant was so darling she is worth going to the zoo just to see her.

I think I am obsessed

This letter boxing thing is getting out of hand.  Chris is sure I am crazy.  But it is sooo much fun.  I found another stamp today at KOPFC.  Who knew??  I go there all the time and it was right under my nose.  Ask me to show you my book.  I will.  P.S.  We are going to Bear Lake and Las Vegas.  I already have my plan to find letterboxes in both those places.

Hoarding Evan

Evan and Jamie both have a drawer that they keep little things in.  Evan tends to hoard things in there.  Recently found: a half eaten bannana, 5 boxes of jello, a water bottle, ect.  Whatever he finds and takes a liking to goes in the drawer.  Yesterday I had my wallet out by the computer to pay some bills and today it was missing all day.  What do you know I found it in the drawer at 10:00 p.m..  Thank goodness I was starting to panic.   And as long as we're on the subject of Evan, he said the cutest thing the other day.  He has taken a real liking to Star Wars lately.  He won't go anywhere with out his light saber and is always ready for a light saber fight.  We were walking somewhere the other day and he said "Mom, I'm addicted to star wars."   I had to agree with him.
Evan will be 4 years old soon.  He has been planning his party for the past 6 months.  I guess we will have to have a real bash for him.

Slip and Slide

I got out the slip and slide the other day. The kids had fun. The pictures speak for themselves. Evan loves his mask and snorkel!

6 Fish Family

We started a new hobby today. So much fun! It is called Letterboxing. It is a little like geocaching, but this is how it goes. You go to the letter boxing website to find directions to letterboxes hidden all over. When you find one, there is a stamp in there for your book and you stamp your stamp in their book. I decided on a fish stamp that has 3 fish on it and stamp it twice so there are 6 fish. One for each member of our family. It is like a giant treasure hunt. We found 3 letterboxes today and were unsuccessful finding our 4th. Give it a try!

Half way to Goodbye

Casey turned nine years old the other day. I can't believe it. It does not seem possible that he is that old. A talk show host I used to listen to always said that nine years old is half way to goodbye because they will only be in your care for nine more years before they turn 18. I wonder what the next 9 years will hold?

Funny Faces

Whenever I get out the camera the older two kids like to pull funny faces instead of smiling cute. Here are some of the most recent shots.
Casey took some pretty bad ones (or good ones) of me pulling faces, but because I am in control of this blog they will not get published.
