"Blast off! For fun and Adventure

yes I said adventure...I'll be there sooooooooooon"(name that super lame SNL skit the title was based on..anyone? anyone? "it's my way on the old space highway?"...anyone? I'll make a pie for the person that can name it.)

Amelia had a birthday a few weeks ago and she chose a rocket theme. Here's the some pictures from the party.
The invitations

The shirt I made at the last minute

The rocket for the kids to blast off in
The child in the rocket is the unrequited object of her affections. She gets very giggly.

Lining up after the hunt for golden moon rocks

Launching alien eggs
Walking in moon boots
Super messy shaving cream and glue moon craft
Amelia's other object of affection

Shooting off rockets

It was great to have the kids shag their own rockets. We didn't lose any.

The fabulous cake by Jessica and rocket fuel


Since I was prepping cake I missed the present opening part. The 7 year old tasked with keeping track of everything didn't. So. Ehm. Thanks for the gift. She loved it. From you. all.


Maybe next year she will want a princess party?

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...

I am not sure if he is showing off his new tie he got for Christmas? He is a handsome little guy!
