Ponder This!

I grabbed this from Simply Mormon's site (with permission!).... Thought it was something that we could take a moment to ponder about....

CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
This is something to make you go... hmm... where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing....

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?
And no dropped calls!

AWWWWW Crap!

Look what we rescued today....




Shadow's being his usual scaredy-cat self, Olive is pissed and I'm in love...... As are the girls.
Tyler says 'three is too many!'

Oh Yes.... Twilight baby!

So it's currently 3:21am here.....

And at 2:01am I finished the first of four books in the Twilight Series!!!

GEEE!

Not only an I enthralled by the book (and CANNOT wait to read the rest!) but I'm THRILLED that I was able to spend a day just reading!

I still made lunch for my children.... An chatted with them here and there...

But they knew 'Mommy's reading a book.... And it's a BIG one!'

I'd like to thank Sarah for loaning me the book so I would have a chance to keep up with the newest, biggest series by a Mormon (oh yes! Imagine!) author as of now.... And so I would have some idea of what is going on when the movie comes out in November!

GEEE!

I honeslty may dream about 'Twilight' every night until I get my hands on the second book, 'New Moon', in the series....

I can hardly wait!!!!
Such an awesome book! / I can't wait!!!! :D

And for all of you patiently waiting (but actually nearly jumping out of your skin at the thought of this!) movie goers:

4 young girls +a Husband on night shift =

One fun day!
And it's only been 3.5 hours!
Yesterday my Hubby was on Facebook (imagine that!) and noticed that our neighbor down the street had changed her status to "Dori-lyn is waiting for Warren to return so I can take him to emerg to see if his ankle is broken...yikes."
Oh yes! When I was driving back from dropping Emma off at school I drove past Dori-Lyn and her Husband.....
For most normal people this wouldn't seem to odd... But I know that her Husband tends to be sent out of town for a week at a time... And it's the middle of the week!
So when I get home I'm informed that Tyler has said to Dori-lyn that if she needs any help at all with her two girls (I've written about them before... Their oldest is a few years older then Emma and then their youngest is the same age as Emma), we'd be willing to do so!
Awesome! I'm actually quite happy to help out.... And it's fun for my girls! They love, love, LOVE playing with Dori's two girls!
*LOL*
What Tyler didn't know was that Dori-lyn needed to be at a class for about 8am, so her little ones would be here at 7:30am...
And he's on night shift....
So he needs to sleep....
During the day....
*LOL*
Which leaves the Wife to be up before 7:30am to make sure the house is some what ready for other little hands and feet to be here!
Too funny.
Thankfully Dori's kids are wonderful little girls. They follow the rules, and the oldest even helps out A LOT with the younger ones. Good thing she's used to having a younger sister!
Emma woke up between 7:45-8am (which is REALLY early for my kids!) with Zoë not far behind her.
It's currently 11:06am.
My kids had breakfast (Dori fed her kids before coming here), and now all the kids have had a snack.
My Husband is still asleep.
*L*
I am very, very grateful to be in this wonderful house that allows children to be in their play space in the basement (two levels down from the bedrooms!) as well as on the main floor and their rooms.
I'm also grateful that I forgot to close my bedroom window last night as it seems to be acting as white noise for my Hubby. He hasn't heard much of the girls (Yay!)....
As well, I'm happy to hear that Doris Husband did not break his foot... Just a really bad sprain! (Not fun either, but better then the other option!)
Here's some photos that I took this morning.... Sorry for the bad quality... Quick photos with one eye open (sleepy!) doesn't always turn out as well as you think it will.
Rebecca and Brooke Playing with Zoë's tools
Zoë after saying "It's okay for you guys to play with my tools!" (Thsi is a very nice thing for her to do as she's quite protective over her tools!)
More playing...
Emma coloring... Her favorite thing to do as of now...
Rebecca and Brooke goofing around in our front room.
Zoë having a snack.
More coloring.
Rebecca was laying on the ground while Brooke jumped over her at full speed! *L*
Emma got into it as well!
Brooke, Rebecca and Emma. Zoë ran away when I pulled out my camera!
That's all for now!

Angry.

Just a minute ago I went into Emma's room to make sure she's sleeping alright....

She has her pillow at the foot of her bed and is passed right out...

With puffy lips from crying right before she fell asleep....

Mommy lost her temper tonight and yelled.

Mommy was very, VERY angry....

And now Mommy feels horrible that her oldest-little-one fell asleep with thoughts of her Mommy mad at her....

Ugh.

The Fly...

And it's friends.

We had the Missionaries over for dinner tonight (Yay!) and at some point our screen door on our sliding doors was left open.... Every since then we've been dive-bombed by three annoying flies!

Grrr....

I swear (oh yes!) if this sucker doesn't die by the time I'm ready to get some good non-bugged sleep I'll kill it with my own teeth!

(My cats have been doing an awesome job of near-catches all night)......

Otherwise I may have to invest in one of these.... It's called "The Fly Catcher" and it's awesome.... AND funny! *L*

Definitely check out the site! TOOOOO funny, let me know what you think!
