Yay for modesty!

I just wanted to blog about how proud I am of my little sister, Jessica. After MUCH anticipation she finally had her prom last weekend and had a fabulous time. I had heard so much about her dress and so was very very excited to see what it looked like. My mom made it and so she was able to tailor the pattern to make it fit perfectly and make it modest. I am so proud of Jess and her modest dress. The things women are wearing now a days is just so frustrating to me and I wonder how the young women with high standards will ever be able to overcome the challenges they face, especially in regards to so called "beauty" and what the world finds attractive and "sexy". Anyways, I just wanted to tell Jessica that I am really proud of her for not only choosing a modest dress, but not even considering anything else! You looked BEAUTIFUL Jessica!!!!! I LOVE YOU!

PS don't you love the picture of the jumping on the trampoline?!?!!? My favorite.

His Masterpiece

Logan has discovered drawing! More importantly... drawing on the walls! The other day he drew on our computer screen, the oven door and the sliding glass door. When Lindsay saw the door she began wiping the marker off. Logan noticed what she was doing and ran over screaming, "NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" He DID NOT want her messing up his creation! We finally persuaded him to clean it off himself, now the door is blank awaiting Logan's next masterpiece!






Another quick funny story:
Brandon was telling me about two of his friends who decided to get married.
"Ooooo," I said, "Did you ask if you could be invited?"
"Oh mom," Brandon said exasperatedly "I would never ask such a disgusting question like that."

Our Easter Week

"That's ridiculous!"

Yesterday after filling up our van, I got in the car and said, "Wow, that was expensive!" Brandon asked what expensive meant and I told him it meant it cost a lot of money. Then he asked, "How much?" I told him "$53".
he exclaimed, "53 dollars?!?!?!?"
"Yep."
"53 dollars for GAS?!?!!?"
"Yes."
Silence for a minute
"That's ridiculous" Brandon concluded and after another moment of silence he said, "Those gas people must be really rich."
Glad to hear he shares my senitments.

Parsley anyone?

So, my family recently came for a visit. I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a bit of spring cleaning. one of the things I did was to clean out all of my cupboards. Have you ever gone to find some spices or dried herbs, knowing you have it, but not being able to find it? I do that all the time, and I think, "gosh, I swear I just bought some cinnamon, basil, parsley..." whatever it might be. Then while at the store, I would get some more because I thought I was out. Well, I found that I really did "just buy" all those things. During my cleaning, I found 3 large bottles of parsley, 2 bottles of basil, 2 bottles of curry, 3 things of cinnamon and 2 things of dehydrated onions! It was really quiet eye opening to how disorganized I am! Oh, well.... at least I know I have plenty of those things now!
