Cuteness!

You should have seen Evan yesterday! He did awesome as pitcher. He hustled, then he chucked that ball like I've never seen him throw before. When things got boring he jumped and leaped around the mound like a little frog. His coach said "Evan, this isn't Dancing with the Stars" Evan said, "I hate that show!" and then got down on his haunches and focused on the game. SO STINKIN' CUTE!

Happiness isn't happiness without a boy and a stick!

I don't know why I'm on the computer. I think I'm trying to escape the idea of making Spaghetti sauce for 120 people. How did I get roped into this one? Oh yeah...cause I'm a succer! HA! I think I have it written across my forhead. Just kidding. I'm sure once I'm done I'll be glad I did it. This weekend is a busy one. The girls have a competition. It's the Spaghetti dinner fundraiser for camp. Brother Wyssling, who I slugged in the arm for giving me a guilt trip, was trying to get Dustin and I to go to the Temple Friday night ( which I know I should do of course but worry I won't be able to get everything done if I add one more thing ) But I should probably make time for it. Then maybe the Lord will help me in my ability to wrap my mind around all the things I need to do and places I need to be. Maybe he will magically clone me. ;)

Some people have the ability to organize their time and accomplish everything without forgetting the details in the middle. Me...not so much...! In fact the more I have to do, the more scatterbrained I get, and the more I procrastinate things. It's quite sad. lol. But at least I can laugh at myself. Besides...I have some good excuses for distraction...

I can't forget how blessed I am. I have these awesome cute little kids that are so fun to play with and snuggle with. They make me smile. It's very distracting...

Then my handsome husband with those blue eyes that melt my heart. That's how I know I'm a succer. :o But he's so kind to me. This week he just blew through most of his airline points so I can go see my sisters and brother out in UT and ID in July. Yay! I need a UT fix and he just says, no problem...let's make it happen. I know! I'm totally spoiled!

So I'm posting a few pictures and getting off the computer and making Spaghetti Sauce ALL DAY! Woohoo! NOT!

And this is just random, but what is the deal with silly bands? I put some in some goody bags yesterday, and I thought the girls were going to jump out of their seats. Holy Smokes! And all morning Austin has been whining "Mom, you didn't get me a Silly Band!" They are a hit!

Testimony of the Book of Mormon

There were three really great videos that I found this month that just spoke to me. I'm so greatful for a living Prophet that gives us direction and guidance. I love Elder Holland. He speaks in the background of these 3 videos. Each of them bear a stong witness of the Savior, and what he has done for us.

My New Life

Another touching video that brings peace!

Broken, Christ Heals (Kenneth Cope)

I just love the voice of Elder Holland! Just hearing it brings rest to my soul!

Spring Break 2010

The Gulf of Mexico BEFORE we carelessly decided to pour oil unceasingly into the Ocean! SO SAD! It was beautiful. Glad I got to see it before it was destroyed.

See what I mean.

Well it's been a week since we returned from Fort Walton Beach in Florida. We had a great time! We took Mom and Dad Townsend. (Dustin's parents) We all learned what the meaning of togetherness was as we all crammed in the Pilot. 8 of us in an 8 passenger car with a trailer on the back. Dustin said "pack light. Don't bring to much stuff. We need room for the scooters, bikes, boogy boards Dustin drove the whole way. I don't know how he does it but he does. He's my hero because I don't think I could drive that far with a trailer hooked to the back. We went to the beach, and played in the sand. My kids got a bit burned since they didn't have their summer base tan. A first for my kids. They never burn! So greatfull for that, but I guess we all learned to be greatful for sunblock, and learned the art of reapplication. We rented a pontoon boat one day and rode out to a little sand bar in Destin, FL. It was beautiful. We saw dolphins up close. They are such beautiful creatures.

Dustin bought the kids some blow pops for the ride home, and we all crammed back in the car. Austin waited as long as he could, about 5 min. and then started asking for them. Dustin said if you're really good for a long time then you can have them. Austin waited a few min. and then asked again. Dustin said that doesn't count. Austin said, 1,2,3,4,5,6, 17,40,10, 14,5,6,7,20...does that count Dad? We had to give in and give him the pop. That kid makes me smile.

The Girl Thing!

So we're gearing up for Amanda and Ashley's dance competition this weekend. Sewing straps, organizing make up. It's just so girly. I love it. I don't know why but I just get so excited. It gives me so much joy to watch my girls dance. It must have something to do with the "if there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." thing, because it brings peace to my soul. Hopefully I can get the video of Amanda's solo dress rehearsal to upload so you can enjoy it too. I think she did AWESOME! Pictures will follow after the competition. Wish them good luck! The video must be too long or something. Anyone know any tricks?

I love the girl thing! We went to see sleeping beauty , the ballet at the college! We had a blast, just me and the girls.
