Activity Days

I am the Activity Days leader in my ward. I have been doing this for about a year and a half. I love it. I get to be with Mikayla and Meg. They are so busy, that it is fun for me to get to spend a little extra time with them. Here is a photo of my cute girls after their activity. My good friend Jane is an Activities Day Leader as well, I stole this flower barrett idea from her. Thanks Jane! The girls loved it, and its so fun to see them wearing their flowers!

That wonderful Man in My Life

My sister in law Kristel tagged me-so here goes!

I do have to say though that I do have the most wonderful man in the world. He is perfect for me. He has been so awesome to take care of me the past 3 months. He has cried, laughed, and rejoiced with me for 26 years. We have been through a ton in our life time together, but there is no one I would rather be with than my Steve. I love you babe!

What's your husband's name? Stephen Layne Scoresby

How long have you been married? Too long! Just kidding! - 21 years

How long did you date? We dated for 5 years before we got married (minus the 2 years he was on his mission). I waited, but really dated more -I mean really, come on! We joke that we went through puberty together.

How old is he? 43

Who eats more sweets? He does, but we both have a chocolate addiction!

Who said "I Love You" first? He is insistant that it was him. He said I wouldn’t say it until he did first. For crying out loud it was before his mission! But I love him more!

Who is taller? Steve. At one time, I was a little taller than him though.

Who is a better singer? Um... ME!.

Who is smarter? Depends on the topic. But he will say he is smarter.

Who does the laundry? Me–are you kidding! I think he has only done laundry three times in 21 years.

Who pays the bills? Steve-o

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me.

Does he snore? UM YES! Like a chainsaw! I now sleep with Darth Vadar as he wears a C-Pap so that the whole fam can sleep. (Although I am suffering from insomnia now so sleep is not an option in my world).

What does he do in his spare time? He loves to watch movies, play risk 2010, play online games.

Who mows the lawn? We hire it out! He hasn't mowed in 4 years!.

What is his favorite candy bar? He likes anything chocolate.

Who cooks dinner? I do, although he is always good to help out and has a few of his own specialties that he cooks for us. He is also the master BBQer!

Who drives? Steve does when we travel. I take a dramamine and wrangle the kiddies. But normally I am the dance taxi mom.

Who is the first to say they are wrong? We both pretty much do it! But he is really good at admitting when he is wrong, I am a little more stubborn.

Who kissed who first? He did- At the door when I was 16! Aw!

Who asked who out first? Steve-but how could he not, I would not leave him alone. I always found an excuse to be with him and all of his senior friends.

Who wears the pants? This is a LOL question. We are both the oldest children in our families and so this had been a struggle for us for a LONG time. Now we take turns being large and in charge.

Does he say he loves you every day? Yes he does! I love you Stevie Wonder Buns!

In return the people I tag are: Sheri, Jane, Deanne and Jenna

Dutch Babies

The holidays are about traditions. As I have been thinking about all of the fun things we do during the holidays, I am reminded of a tradition that happens nearly every week! "Dutch Babies"! Steve makes these german pancakes for our family almost every Sunday. He has become a pro at it! The kids love them! They eat them with powdered sugar and syrup and think its quite the treat. They groan when I make them, as mine are in the squat and flat. I guess I will leave this dish up to Steve!

A Friday Gift

OK so I have a "smart-alec" for a hubby. Because of the severity of all of the fun menopause issues I am going through, Stevie Wonder Buns thought it would be funny to get me a gift that would help in my demise. So, I now am the owner of hand fans. Straight from Korea! Nice huh! Yeah he is so funny, needless to say I did not laugh to loud. Dont tell him that I secretly use them!
Did I mention, I cant wait for the SNOW!

Hallows Eve

Our family loves Halloween. We usually host a big neighborhood party a few days before the event for neighbors and friends, but this year-I just couldnt do it,but we have definate plans for next year!

It ended up being a packed fun day for everyone. I was "Exhausted" and had to take several breaks. (*I cant wait to be back to 100%!)

The day started off with class parties. The kids dressed up and had all kinds of fun in their classes.

I then took a huge carload of kids to Provo to Trick or Treat on their Center Street business Event. It was pretty much fun. That is where I got worn out, and had to take a breather.

We made sugar cookies, and had our usual chili for dinner.
Our spooks then went out to haunt the neighborhoods.

Mikayla insisted on being a "Nice Witch"....She would not even wear any make up. She was cute!

Meg was the queen of Bats (I have no idea what that is, but then changed to a vampiress).

Mace was a Vampire as well. He loved being scarry. We went through a haunted house. He loved it! He went twice. I ran out, and Mikayla never made it through. He must be a boy! He loved the chainsaws!

I was a vampire too---Mace and I had fun teaming up!

Our Spooks!

Ane here is Steve the "Party Poop"-who only took the kids out to a few houses, and took the job of answering the doors. Oh well someone has to do it!
We had a fun evening and I am quite certain it will take a few days on my part to re-coop, and for the kids to come off of a sugar high!
