March Madness

Sadly, I had to ask Tucker what March Madness meant. Now that I know it's about basketball (boring, who cares!) I think the title better fits my blog!

It really was a great month, with lots of goings on. Starting with Riv's 5th birthday and ending with a really fun reunion! And here's all the in between...

River's 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese

My cousins and I and our kids love to get together. Our latest adventure was a St Patrick's Day scavenger hunt collecting shamrock clues...

around the town...

to find their pots of gold and a "green" lunch at Grandma Great's!

My sister Shanda (left) came for my other sister Mandee's baby shower!

We decorated my house all pink and white...it had never been so cute!

And we had a blast at the shower. Lots of fun games!

Lots of cute gifts!

And then... we had a girls camp reunion, (I never had my camera, I know dumb, or there would be a whole blog post!) with all the girls I grew up with in Antioch and went to girls camp with. This beautiful girl Lindsay, was one of my best friends since second grade. We lost touch after Jr. High, but seeing her this weekend made me realize how much time and frienship I missed out on. Hopefully, I'll be smarter this time and keep in touch! Love you Lindsay! The weekend was awesome!

Soon to come...reports on Tucker's hip surgery! ...or maybe he doesn't want you to know about that!

OH MY RIVER

Are you five years old already??!! My little Running Water, I can't believe it! My little Rivey poo, River roo, how do I love you? Let me count the ways...

I love your always smiling face, and the way your eyes are always smiling too. I love your ever need to learn something new and the way you love to make people feel better.

I love your sweet spirit and reminders to say prayers and read scriptures. I love your pictures of our family all over the house and the help you always are to me. I love the time you always want to spend with just me, so we can snuggle and talk about your stuff.

I love your smooches and hugs whenever I want! I love your patience with the world in your little five year old eyes. I love you! You are MY "Little Running Water" and you make me the happiest Mom EVER!

Cuddly Canopy

I should change my name to Etsy or something! I'm happy to advertise for all my people becasue there is nothing blog worthy happening in my life right now!
My OTHER adorable sister in law Shaleen is also very talented in the creating department! She has started her own line of infant car seat covers. They are so cute and oh so handy! And... you can order right from her website! (I think) Check her out at http://cuddlycanopy.blogspot.com/
I'm loving all these fun baby things! Makes me think I should have another baby just so I can buy it all!

P.S. Thank you to all my faithful followers and commentors! This facebook thing is really putting a cramp on my blogging style. I love you!

Emergency Preparedness

shelfreliance.com

I liked this website so much, I'm sending it to all of you. The craziness of trying to be prepared and not knowing where to start and the expense can really be a turn off, and for me it was. Now that I've started my supply,I feel a lot better, but there's so much you can do. This website not only organizes what you need for your specific family, it calculates cost, puts you on a rotation system, gives you recipes and you can buy your food right from them. The prices are comparable, I'm sure (the Hyde family calculated about $1,000 per person for one year supply of food, their package for a family of five is $6,900 w/shelves.) Sounds like alot and it is, but we go at our own rate, doing what we can. Mostly I just like the website for the layout and ideas. And they have a really cool shelving system that I want and really good 72 hour packs. I just got a coupon in Hometown Values too, so I'm sure they have other deals and sales. This sale they have going now ends tomorrow. I'll try to find out when the next one is. Check it out.

Also, another good website my sister in-law found is foodstoragemadeeasy.net
Good for month to month planning, taking baby steps. It's a great one for just starting out and creating a plan.She's really excited about it!
