I'm sitting here at work at freaking 7:35 in the morning, waiting for someone to actually show up who will let me clean their teeth. I just wanted everyone to know that the girl who dosn't win things... won something! I went to ladies night at Deseret Book last Saturday night with mom & Nancie & they had a drawing. Well, Tuesday they called to tell me I won something! Yippee for me! So I went down there to get what I won.. which I was hoping was something very cool, maybe a cd, or maybe they would let me pick it! But it really wasn't that incredibly cool. I got a book about organizing your life. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something..? I started reading it when I was jogging the other night cause my ipod was dead. It actually is motivating me to keep my house more organized. The past 2 nights I haven't gone to bed til the house was clean. yeah for me :)
Every Sunday morning session of General Conference my family gets together & has breakfast & watches it together... so here we are!
Cheesy Phily & mom
Cheesy Julia & Sean
Cutie Jolie & Michelle
I took this picture because at this point, every man in the room looked exactly like this.
Desmond the rock star.
The Dillards, Ayalas & Stevens
Sean found me a freaking awesome new (used) treadmill. It's a 2007 model & was used in a physical therapy setting, so it hasn't been worked too hard. We went to the used appliance place & it was there for $300. I thought if it was like a gym treadmill that would be a smokin deal!!! So we went & looked at it & it didnt' work :( The man said he'd give it to us for $100 if we wanted it, but I didn't want a treadmill that didnt' work! So the next day Sean went back with an elictricity tester & found that the on switch wasn't working. He offered the man $50 to get it off his hands & he took it!! Well, needless to say, it is really awesome & Sean already fixed the switch. I LOVE it!
Isn't she a beaut?
Then, yesterday since it was priesthood session of conference, Deseret Book had a ladies night & they gave a free clock to the first 100 people, so I got mom & Nanc to go with me & this is my new clock...
Is this really the right time for this????
And this is what Red & Alex look like when they hear the word "treat!!"Ok, its been awhile, so I thought I'd catch up. Last Sunday we all celebrated dads birthday.
Here is Dad blowing out his candles
JoDee cutting the yummy cake
We are finally getting our house a little decorated! It's so great! I know it might sound a little cheesy, but our house feels just a little more homey now :) I love it!!
Before the new curtains
Be-a-utiful!! It's a double duty beauty :) Sheer in the back w/pretty designs & pretty dark red in the front!
I finally got my picture up in the bedroom! & got some sconces (missing the candles right now) & a few pillows (definitely need some more of those) to add some color!
Today was Desmonds 14th birthday- so we all went to see him ordained a Teacher & then to eat lot of food & watch Des blow out the birthday candles!!! Happy Birthday Des!!
Desmond contemplating his birthday wish....
Ah yes!!! I've got it! ha ha ha...
Desmond in mid-birthday blow
Just a taste of birthday happiness
Max, Garrison, Des & Grant lookin mighty fine!
Isn't she beautiful!
CHEESE!!!Today I took Max, Des & Garrison with me & some youth from the ward to do baptisms for the dead with family names of a lady in the ward. It was really great! Max & Garrison's first time to go. I'm glad I could share it with them... & then act crazy afterwards!
This next one is me & Jessica- & despite my better judgement, Im keeping this & the previous picture to remind me that there is a treadmill at my house!!
Here are they crazy boys!
Ok, here is crazy me now... I decided to take alot of stupid crazy pics
How incredibly great! & what a nice surprise!!! Sean met me for lunch yesterday with 2 dozen red roses!!! 
What a great husband I have :)
Well- this past weekend we went camping. The first night we stayed near Senecca Lake on San Carlos Reservation. Of course, we only camp in the middle of nowhere, so I wasn't too surprised when Sean woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a creature outside our tent trailer. The next morning we found deer & Bear tracks right next to out sight- yippee!! So you can imagine how willing I was to pick up & move when Sean kept saying we should find somewhere cooler. Don't you love the pic above? It looks like I have a bad comb-over & that I'm 12 years old!
Sean cooked eggs & bacon on our gas stove in the tent trailer. He always seems to become Mr. Cook when we camp! Maybe I should just tell him we are always camping :)
Me, looking horrific day 2 into camping.
A look down the canyon. That is the Salt River Canyon at the bottom. It's a pretty "desert" picture. Its a lovely view, but I like seeing more green, personally.
