What a Life!

Man this cat has the life. Our stray kitty Funny Bunny likes to hang out draped over the top of this chair while I do homework during the day. She seems to miss the noise and kids during the day when they are at school so she follows me around the house. Most of the time this is where you can find the two of us, sitting in this chair in front of the computer, only I have to do homework and she gets to be lazy. Ty and I think it would be great to come back one day and live life like a cat, eat, sleep and get fat.

Jayden's room

Jayden's room is done at last. I have been painting rooms since March of last year. I painted one of my walls in the master bedroom a rusty red in March, I love it. The next room was Halen's pirate room it got painted a two tone ocean blue in April and just in time for Sadie's birthday I finished her room she wanted purple with cute Bratt doll decals. In May the day after preschool ended, you guessed it the room that need paint the most my formal preschool room became an office and was painted a old yellow color. Then came Aubrie's room in July it was painted pink and decorated with Hannah Montana stuff. Poor Jayden has been patiently waiting and finally during Christmas break I decided to tackle his room. His room was the hardest because I had to paint the top half white wait a week before painting the bottom Green Bay Packer green and then a few more days to paint the yellow stripes. Jayden had gotten a Fathead football player for his birthday in August and after reading the directions found that he had to wait 30 days before putting up the Fathead on newly painted walls. Yesterday was the big day and it is finally finished. I wish I could say that I am totally finished painting but I still have Dallin's room to do next. Oh man! Where am I going to find time to do that?

Jayden and Dallin

Last week Jayden and Dallin had the opportunity to do baptisms for the dead at the Provo temple with the young men's group. What a neat opportunity, they said that it was cool and that the names that they were doing were from the 1400's. I am so glad that they have this opportunity.

One of my favorite recipes

I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes. Sorry, you can't eat this one!
This is a money saver, I have been using this for over a month now. I spray this on my shower walls and glass doors when I am done showering and I let it sit all day. Rinse it off the next time you shower. I have not had to scrub my shower for over a month now! I love it. Hope this helps anyone who is on a quest to save money and time.

Shower Cleaner

3 cups of hot water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 TBS dish detergent
1 TBS borax

Dump these ingredients into a spray bottle and shake a little to mix. The water is hot only to dissolve the borax (it obviously is not going to stay hot). One batch has lasted me a month. The dish soap is the liqued like Dawn or whatever brand you buy. Borax can be found in the laundry aisle, I found it at Wallmart. This recipe is also better for your lungs and the environment than regular cleaners. Happy cleaning!

I will post another favorite recipe later.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday buddy. Ty's Birthday is January 28th. Where to begin....there is a lot to say but I will keep it short. I love this man, he is everything to me. Everyone who knows his sweet personality, knows that he finds the good in everyone. He is the best person I have ever met. His parents also know that he is a special one and I can't help but think that they certainly reflect on his birthday as a little miracle. He truly was a miracle, he was born a little too early and his mom was in an extreme emergency situation during his birth, lets just keep it short by saying that they were both thankfully allowed to stay here on this earth. I love that Ty fills our house with music and laughter. We have so much fun together, he has always been my best friend.

Funny grandparents

I love these pictures and I couldn't resist putting them on our website. Every year Grandma and Grandpa Gerber host a Christmas party and Grandpa Clause comes to visit. Over the years Grandpa has grown out of his Santa suit so he has creatively come up with a different Christmas suits each year. We alway crack up laughing when we see what he has picked out. This year's suit was a Christmas fairy of some sort. A few years back it was a japanese robed santa. Thank goodness for Ty's grandparents, they are great!

Sledding

The kids had a lot of fun sledding, we took the dog with us and he loved chasing the kids down the hill. We went to the Spanish Fork golf course and the hills are so much fun. They had a 125 yard sign at the bottom so that you could see how far you could go. The kids actually ended up slamming into it a couple of times. Aubrie and Sadie sat on my lap and we went past the mark.
