The Truth

Stewart has been known to exaggerate a story. He is, by nature, a story teller so anything that adds that little extra umph to a story is fair game. If you read Stewart's blog you may have read this post. This was NOT one of those stories that Stewart exaggerated. For further proof I took pictures when Stewart was doing his sit ups today.

Exercise Challenge

On the left you will notice a link to an exercise challenge or you can click HERE.

My friend in all her geniosity (I know, not a real word) started this exercise challenge. It's for anyone who wants to do it. If you need a little boost in your exercise regime or need some motivation you can check it out and sign up for the challenge...really sign up.

Speaking of exercising I did a step aerobics class this morning. It was fun/confusing/embarrassing. BUT on the plus side there was a flaming homo wearing red workout pants.

Imagine these pants but red and on a man. That's pretty much how it was. He was right in front of me and was going nuts on his workout. he added his own extra turns, kicks, and hops. It made the whole workout bearable and I will definitely be back next week hoping to see this person.

Plant For Sale

I have 2 plants. I hate having plants. You have to take care of them and I forget to take care of them. My poor plant on the left looked like this for like 3 days before I decided to water it. I REALLY want it to die but I can't just kill it because it makes me feel guilty. I also want to throw it away but again the guilt kicks in. My plant on the right used to be really beautiful but has slowly died off. This last part is hearty and just won't die though.

Why won't a bugler break in and take my plants?! This would solve everything! They would be gone and their lives wouldn't be on my hands.

The Wonderful Husband Strikes Again.

You guys probably thought that Stewart and I were getting divorced since I haven't posted a flower picture for so long! :) We are still going strong, we just haven't had anything really good or really bad happen for a while. I love these flowers and they smell SO nice! If you are a man reading this you should hurry and order flowers for your wife. I know that Stewart makes me so happy to know that he has thought about me!

I love you Stewart.

Ladies Man

See Stewart tries to steal the good posts but he doesn't know the whole story!

Eli got this shirt from his aunt Leesa and uncle Jed for Christmas. He hasn't seen it since that day but yesterday I pulled it out ready for the "great shirt fight of 2008." To my surprise Eli saw it and said, "is that my ladies man shirt?"

He put it on and about an hour later he said, "do ladies mans have horns?" I said, "do you think that they do?" since I wasn't sure what the right answer was. He said that they did have horns.

Then all day he'd say, "look what ladies mans can do." (Sometimes it was "lady mans"...sorry Stewart.) And he'd do some kind of crazy stunt like running toward the couch, making a turn and jumping sideways on the couch. Sometimes it was spinning really fast in a circle, and sometimes it was running really fast. As to whether or not it would attract the "ladies" I'm not sure but Eli and I sure thought that he was pretty dang cool.

Eli says:

Eli is so cute. Stewart went rabbit hunting with my brothers on Saturday and so Eli and I were home alone. After breakfast Eli said, "I think that we should clean up this messy house." So we cleaned his room and the front room and managed to find homes for all his new toys. He helped vacuum and everything! After that I suggested that we take down the Christmas Tree. I thought that I would get some really heavy arguments but Eli said, "yeah cuz Christmas is over." So he helped me put Christmas away. He's such a sweet boy and really good helper.

After we were done we went to the store and I let him choose a treat for being such a helper. He choose some "Bubble Tape" which happens to come in a pink container. On the way out to the car he said, "pink is a boy color now. Boys like pink." I think that he was making himself feel better about choosing pink candy.

Stewart's taking all the good blogs.

Stewart posted a blog about New Years and snowshoeing and he really did them justice so now I can't really post about them!

I do want to talk about something that is VERY important that I learned on New Years Eve. I have found a drink that is, to quote Danny, made out of angel and/or baby tears. It is sweet liquid ambrosia and sugar in the purest most heavenly form that I have EVER tasted. This Heavenly drink is known as Jones Cream Soda. Hopefully it's really expensive so that I don't become diabetic from this sinfully delicious drink...it could be worth it...I don't know, I'll think about it.


We have had a great year. It has had it's ups and downs...lot's of downs now that I think about it...but I'm just so glad for what I have. I'm glad that through all my trials I have a wonderful partner to face them with. Home is such a wonderful place with Stewart and Eli. I love having a family to love and receive love from. I do hope that I can be the best mom and wife that I can be in this new year. I hope that everyone has a wonderful year and that all your wishes some true...and that you get to drink some Jones Cream Soda.
