Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Josh and I are really excited to go see Despicable Me. We were going to go the day after it came out but we are going to have to wait longer. It stinks. See Josh's favorite trailer by clicking the following link.
Despicable Me

2. The truth is... in two weeks I'll be in Sacramento. I'm nervous to go, especially since Josh isn't coming with me.

3. The truth is... I've been sleeping in all summer because I don't really have anything to do. After I get back from Sacramento I'm going to start waking up with Josh (at 5:00 AM)

4. The truth is... Jack Jack gets really excited and runs to the door whenever Josh gets home from work or school.

5. The truth is... I've never really hated someone before. However, I now think that I hate Josh's cousin. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. He has never given me a reason to like him.

Truck anyone?

Ok, so here's the deal. Josh and his cousin bought a 1999 Chevrolet S10. They bought it two months ago and have been trying to sell it. We still have it. It's a really nice truck, the engine has been rebuilt as well as the transmission (which means low miles on them). It also has really cold air conditioning. It runs well. Josh's cousin wants to keep it and pay us for it, however, I don't trust him to pay us (seeing as how he's already paying me for my Sunfire). I thought I' take matters in my own hands. Here are some pictures. If you need a cheap vehicle (about $3000) or know someone that wants one... let me know. I'm sick of thinking about it and I just want to get our money back on it. Thanks!

Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I loved the first two Narnia movies and am looking forward to the next. My only hope is that they make the movies "The Magicians Nephew" (first book) and "The Last Battle" (last book). Those are my favorite and also the most powerful (the creation and the end). I suggest reading them... and watching the trailer!

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... Josh and I had a nice relaxing weekend in Prescott. It was a three-day weekend for him so we went to visit my grandma.

2. The truth is... While we were in Prescott, Jack Jack had a fun time staying at Wendi and Doug's house. He's not used to getting so much love and attention.

3. The truth is... I missed my little Jack Jack while I was gone.

4. The truth is... Josh is finally through his two weeks of training. He's excited because he gets to start taking calls the whole time.

5. The truth is... June is almost over. I'm kind of glad because I'm so bored here at home but I really don't want to go back to work. I'm so torn.

In the Dog House

First off, I will admit that I cannot get credit for this post. Wendi came up with it. Here's what happened:
At my house, we have a cage for Jack Jack. If he is bad or goes to the bathroom in the house then he goes in the cage. It's pretty obvious. Wendi called it his "time out corner". Anyway, Wendi and her kids came over last night and we had dinner, played with Jack Jack a little and then went to Sam's club. We were both bored since our husbands would be out late for work/class. Well, most of the kids didn't want to play with Jack Jack, they just wanted to play in his cage. So, they were "in the dog house". I couldn't resist taking some pictures. It was really funny! It kind of reminds me of the issue that the kids always want to play with the box the toy come in and not the toy itself. Kids are weird. Enjoy the pictures!

I was kind of impressed that Bryant, Alyssa, and Sara could all fit in the cage. It apparently is pretty large.

I'm impressed that Kaelyn got in. She didn't like it very much. That's ok Kaelyn, Jack Jack doesn't like it much either.

Bryant and Jack Jack trying to get some good belly scratching. Bryant thought that it was weird that while he was petting Jack Jack he just kind of rolled over. I told him that it was because he wanted some petting on his belly. He got the picture and started scratching and petting him.

This one is actually of a couple days ago. It is a picture of my boys sleeping to the TV.

I took this one awhile ago too! When it was nice outside I would open the screen doors at night. Jack Jack would just sit by the front door looking out. It was so cute I had to take a picture.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... yesterday was Josh's first day of class. One day down and only four more years to go!

2. The truth is... because his classes are at night, it will be a long four years.

3. The truth is... I started a new cross stitch. It is one of Christ. I already have the same one in my house so I think I'm going to give it away. I just don't know who will get it yet. IT CAN BE YOU!!!

4. The truth is... I'm starting Christmas presents soon. Everyone is pretty much getting one generic gift. Boring, I know, but you know what! I have no other ideas!

5. The truth is... the jam that me and Wendi made last week is SO GOOD! It's totally addicting.

Jam!


Growing up my mom would always have some strawberry freezer jam. I loved the stuff and I have been wanting to make it for a long time. I will admit that I was a little scared to make it because it sounded really hard to make. Little did I actually know! Anyway, my sister Wendi and I have been wanting to make some for a few weeks now. Strawberries are starting to go on sale so we thought "why not". We got all the stuff you need. When we read the directions we said "That's it? That is too easy!" So, we made 4 batches of jam. (It made about 12 pint jars.) I cannot wait to eat some! While making the jam I decided that I wanted to have a jamming party!

So, if you want to, I'm going to be making another couple of batches of strawberry jam. Anyone is welcome to come. Thursday (June 17th) and my house. 10:00ish. All you have to do is bring the stuff (I'll let you know what you need) and we can have fun. To make the jamming party even more fun we can watch the friends with all the jam! Anyway, let me know if you want to come. Company is always welcome.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... I should probably update my blog more instead of just posting a Tuesday Truths every week.

2. The truth is... with just me and Josh, there is not much to post. I will admit that Jack Jack does do some awesome stuff but I never really catch a picture of it or get in on video. I guess I should try better.

3. The truth is... I have completed a lot of crafts so far on my break. I will post pictures as soon as I get pictures of them.

4. The truth is... I've only have a little over a week for break and I'm ready to go back to school.

5. The truth is... school is going to be weird next year because my next door neighbor won't be there and my classroom might be different. A larger classroom would be nice but I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Tuesday Truths

1. The truth is... it is good to be home from vacation. Now it is time for more vacation over the next two months.

2. The truth is... Josh and I have only been married for 2 1/2 years and I have issues sleeping without him.

3. The truth is... I can't wait to go out to breakfast with Josh! Breakfast club here we come!

4. The truth is... I just barely left Karen's yesterday but I'm totally excited for her to come down next weekend for A WHOLE WEEK! It's so awesome!

5. The truth is... I think that Jack Jack is scared of the air conditioner.
