I knew it!!! *giggle giggle*

Found this on my friends blog. Not too far off. I used to pretend that I was a mermaid when I was little swimming at my friends house. Before Disney introduced us to the world under the sea. Hey and I'm a Pisces too.

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Thunder & Lightning very very fright'ning

Arizona weather ceases to amaze me. We get such beautiful sunsets. And the most unbelievable storms. Last night was a doozey. It was almost surreal. The sky was like a strobe light. I've never seen a lightning storm like this before. Not only did the storm stretch from Fountain Hills, which is way north of the valley to Tortilla Flats to West Phoenix and I can't remember how far south. We live in East Mesa and the storm seemed to stretch on forever. The thunder was constant it didn't come in short or long bursts it just rumbled on and on. The video below is 7 min and you can hear the thunder never stops, because the lightning didn't.

1st Day of School

So here are my first day of school pictures I didn't get to do earlier. Kylie is now a Sophomore. I can hardly believe it myself. I still remember being that age almost like yesterday. Time flies faster every year.
Landen has moved on up in the world to Jr. High. He's a "sevey" or that's what his upper class men, mostly Kylie, refer to them as.

I have one at each school this year. High School, Jr. High and Blake is holding is own, at Elementary. He loves being the big man on campus. Blake is on the top floor this year in the 4th grade, so he feels like he's not at the bottom of the totem pole anymore.

This is Kylie and Landen walking together to the bus stop. It's Landen's first time ever riding a bus. Awwww.
Here's Blake and a buddie waiting to go into their new classroom. Looks like fun!

Yeah I have pictures again!!!

I haven't been able to put any pictures on my blog for so long. I just got my computer back from the "hospital" so I'm posting all the stuff I missed. This is a Court of Honor in July


Landen getting his Star Rank. I'm not quite sure what that means, but I think he only has Life to do and then he can work on his Eagle project. So far there hasn't been a Tenney who has earned his Eagle. So it's a race with Eric's son Aaron who is 16 Kevin's son Ammon who is 14 and Landen who is 12. They all are very close.

These are the cookie flowers I made for a girl I work for who is getting married tomorrow. We had her bridal shower at my house on the 2nd of August. Congrats Aimee.

It's a good thing I don't have pictures

Sorry I've had a real sucky day, or shall I rephrase and say late afternoon and evening. I don't have a long list of readers on my blog, so I don't want any of them thinking I'm speaking to them, more that I've just got to blow off steam.


I am so so so so so so sick of parents who think THEIR children can do no wrong. I willing to work on any issues my children can drag up, but it would be real nice if other parents acknowledge their own children's hands in the cookie jar as well. One such issue has come up and I was willing to talk it over with the two parties that were involved, but the other parent has no time to ask her son his part, so in my mind, case closed. I figure if they aren't willing to speak to both, face to face at the same time, then I don't have that kind of time either and I hope they can figure it out for themselves. It just really peeves me that because they decide to bring it up at very inopportune moment, my night was shot.
To them I say Thanks ever so much.....NOT.

Aghghg This is Killing Me....

O.k. O.k. O.k. You know you are living in the 21st century when.......

You can't get your pictures off of your smart card reader in your camera!!!!

Ahh computers, you can't live without them any more, or you are seriously crippled. And right now I feel like a paraplegic. Somehow the drives for my smart card readers on my computer were deleted. I think I know how it happened, but I don't know how to fix it and until then I can't put any of the pictures up that I've taken in the last few days.
Pictures like the 1st day of school, and the most gorgeous sunset the other night, and Landen's toe that we're pretty sure he didn't break, but looks very gross. And the pictures of the cookies that took me 2 days to make for the Bridal Shower I hosted for a friend.
If it weren't for the fact that my friends posted pictures for me, I would have nothing. The pictures from the Breaking Dawn sale at mid-night, I stole from someone eles blog.
I will put this other fun little cartoon I stole from Carmen's blog cause it about captures how life is for us right now. So I might have to pull all the little wires out of my computer and put them all back together again, and if you have ever had to do that before, you know how NOT simple that is, so I can join the blogging world again. I just hope it will solve my problem. If any of you have an answer for me please let me know. I hate not having all the parts working on my computer.
This one works as well too.

I'm done!!!!!

I have officially finished, well Sunday night at 10pm, finished reading the last book. (That was after I hosted a Bridal shower too mind you) Kirk reminded me that night that I didn't eat anything all day, well, it was Fast Sunday, and then I just forgot, I had to finish the dang book.

And if I were to rate them Twilight gets 10 stars, New Moon 3 at the beginning and then 6 at the end. Eclipse was actually my favorite so it gets 10 1/2 stars. Breaking Dawn, hmmmmm 4. It was o.k. but there are still a lot of unanswered questions. I don't think she wrapped it up very well and I think she was just trying to make everyone happy at the end and just threw all her rules out the window to accomplish that. But don't let my review bias you in anyway, it's still an entertaining read.

Here are some pictures of me at Kirk's store Friday night at mid-night as we opened it up to sell to some very anxious women and a couple of men. I have to say it made me feel better about my obsession for the book to be around people who were worse than me about it. I know that's hard to believe but very true.

Fabulous Party at the Waltons' House

The Ladies

The Gentlemen

The Mafia Master

We had an absolutely fabulous time at the Waltons' home this evening. We enjoyed playing Mafia, being served delicious refreshments and spending time with several of our treasured, intelligent, beautiful, and talented friends. We are so lucky that the Waltons have chosen us to be their friends because they are just awesome and when we grow up we hope to be just like them in every little way. They were great hosts and we hope they invite us over every single day because we think they are so cool! And we love how well-mannered their children are. They didn't even pop downstairs one time to mooch treats from the grown-ups. They just stayed upstairs and quietly read classic books and meditated. Oh, what a wonderful night....

(Susette, you can feel free to modify this sarcastic post! I just wanted to post the pictures for you! ~Pam)
