Sunday Pictures

My Two babies all ready to go to church!

I can't believe McG will be 11 in about a week!

Here he is getting ready for church!!! yeah, right!


Say "CHEEEEESE"

Hey, Lilah...smile if you're gonna be good at church today!!

BTW, she was a holy terror during Sacrament meeting. She lasted through the bread and water but not much longer after that!!

Dinner with an Osmond

....or with an Osmonds son's wife. But still!!!!!

Tims "adopted" sister married the oldest Osmond's son. She and her husband own a furniture and design store in Utah and she came to Atlanta on a purchasing trip last week and so we met up at a sushi bar for dinner.

I was a nervous wreck because she has to be one of the most gorgeous girls I have ever seen and one of the most wealthy and I don't do good around gorgeous AND wealthy! Give me gorgeous OR wealthy but I can't handle both!! hahahaha

But she ended up being so nice and down to earth and gave me tons of inside "Osmond" scoop, which was really cool.
We took our camera but didn't get any pictures of her (sorry Bev) but we did get a few of us before we left the house.

The happy couple:

Me showing Brannon how to take a picture that doesn't show your double chin:

This picture cracks me up. He totally made this face and made me take the picture!

This is such a good picture of Brannon. He should frame it!




Sorry that I wasn't able to include an Osmond in this picture display, but she'll be back next year and I'll be sure to get a shot of her then. Maybe she'll gain some weight and have a really bad hair day the next time we see her. One can only hope! haha

Okay enough of throwing Tim under the bus already!!!....It's not like I'm not doing anything! Coaching 2 hockey teams, being the commissioner of the league, serving as a cub master, serving in the elders quorum, working, running on 4 hours of sleep each night and dealing with Brannon's crap!
Here's the @#$%@!! CLOCK!

Break a leg

Don't be jealous, but we've had a beautiful orange ladder in our living room for about 2 weeks now. I had Tim move some pictures around to make room for my beautiful new clock that he got me for christmas.

Lilah loves it and hopes daddy never gets around to hanging the clock so that she can have her ladder to play on forever!!

Everyone knows, you can't climb a ladder if you don't have your purse!




Uh Oh!!!!

Isn't that seven years bad luck???

I'll post a picture of my beautiful clock as soon as it gets hung on the wall!!

Don't bother checking back often!

Food Storage Shelves are a Girl's Best Friend??

Most woman get diamonds, pearls or other jewels, furs and expensive french perfume and such for christmas. Me?? I get food storage shelves!?!

I am joking of course. Tim showered me with all sorts of lovely things for christmas and as far as the shelf goes...it was exactly what I needed. I just like to joke about it.

We put it in our hall closet under the stairs so I can't get a real good picture of what it looks like but it's really cool. It holds up to six hundred cans but what's really crazy is that we really need another one or two more to hold all of our food storage.

Maybe next year...I can only hope!! haha

Now, let me show off my neat little storage jars. I have those stupid shelves in my kitchen that I could never really come up with an idea for so, recently,I thought of putting big storage jars on each shelf. I got the jars at w*almart and got my vinyl lady to whip me up some nifty labels. I am still not 100% satisfied with the lay out of everything but I love the jars. I actually have 4 (you can't see the top shelf)~ one for cocoa, oatmeal, grits and snacks.



Here's a close up! So cute!

It still bugs me to look at the shelves. Something is missing and I can't figure it out.
Kayla, you need to get your butt down here and help me with some decoratin'!!!
