Fun weekend with Mom!

I hung out with my mom this weekend and we had a blast! We went out to eat, watched movies, went for jogs(so nice:-) and we planted some flowers for the front porch! Thanks mom, it was tons of fun! Love you! XOXOXOXO



We went to visit Aunt Pam at the beauty shop. Aunt Pam was painting Madi's nails, and mom was holding her nose and spinning in the chair, which apparently is not allowed. Aunt Pam said "Sheryl, why are you spinning in that chair? You don't spin in these chairs, you only get your hair cut in them!" Then mom said "well, why do they spin then?" Ha Ha! maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was so funny!


This is a picture of mom and madi on the front porch. Chad brought home the old bench that used to sit out in front of R&R, because they are getting a new one. Well it is kinda old and rickety but it looks so good on the porch and matches the color of the front door. Then my mom got me some flowers to put next to it, and it looks great. I love it!


This is a picture of my beautiful mother! I just wanted to post it. As mom always says, "Beautiful Gorgeous!"

Crazy Life!

Well I finally made some posts! It has been a month since my last one!! Our lives have been crazy this past month, I started my last semester of nursing school and it just works out that all of my clinicals for the whole semester are crammed into 1 month! Ahhhhhh! And I am still working 1 day a week at the hospital! But by mid October things should slow down. Chad started his first semester of the NAU business program, so he has been super busy with school, studying and work too. But our life is great, and we still find time to do fun things!)

Taffy!

We made home made taffy at G&G Skinner's house for family home evening the other night. It is usually a Christmas tradition so it was fun to change things up a bit! Pulln' taffy is a fun memory for me, Grandpa always pulled it because it was soooo hot!(He would get blister on his hands!) All of the grand kids got different jobs, like buttering the pans, scoring the taffy, breaking the taffy, wrapping the taffy and EATING the taffy!! Grandpa would tell us stories about making taffy when he was a little boy! Well grandpa still helps but he lets some of the other men pull the taffy now that he is sorta retired from it! He He!


Yummy Taffy!

Madi is a picky eater and wasn't sure about the taffy at first, but she liked it!

Meg working hard!

Me and Meg wrapping!

LOTR Monopoly!

It finally came!! I love the Lord of the Rings Monopoly game! The first time we played it was at Heather and Zach's house one of the times we went to visit. Chad and I both like the movies, and the game is fun because everything about it relates to the movies (like characters and properties, ect.) A great twist of the game is that it only takes about 30-45mins to play. Its the perfect amount of time! So if you like board games and LOTR, this game is a must have! Sadly it was sort of a limited edition thing and they don't make them any more. But Chad found one on EBay that was in great condition and for a good price, so we bought it! I kept checking the mail everyday to see if it had come, and it took almost 3 weeks to get here!! But finally it came!

Thatcher Eagles # 1!!

Madi is in the first grade now and she loves it! This year the booster club sold 'Eagle Shirts" that have a Batman theme. (Due to the new Batman movie, and maybe the homecoming theme, I'm not sure yet.) N-E way she likes wearing her shirt to the High School football games, and even to the EAC football games, where she "Got to Hug the Gila Monster! Yeah!" (He is the College's mascot. But Madi informed me that it was a girl in the costume!) She thought it was quite exciting!



Madi, Emma, and Chad. Madi and her cousin Emma are great friends, and they wanted to be matching! Madi and Chad like to have a constant debate about who is the #1 team. The St. David Tigers(Chad's High School) or The Thatcher Eagles! Madi says they can "both be #1" Ha Ha!
