Food Storage?

I have been thinking a lot lately about food storage. I have heard on the news about a truckers strike. I was talking to my friend and we were talking about how a truckers strike would really affect us getting food to our local grocery stores. We depend on them to bring goods to us from all over the country. We have no idea how long a strike like that would last and I am thinking I am really not as prepared as I should be. I need some motivation to build up my food storage. I always try to go to the big case lot sales and stock up, but with the cost of everything going up it seems like you don't get nearly as much and you are spending more. It seems like everything has gone up in price. I am really looking forward to watching conference to see what the Prophets and Apostles will stress. I know that it has been stressed for a long time to get your food storage and I am glad that I do have some, but I don't think I am nearly where I need to be. It always feel really good when the storage room it full and I don't have very much room left on the shelves, but then as the days go by I take from my food storage and I forget to replace what I took. If anyone has a good idea on how to build up food storage and keep track of what you take so you can replace it let me know. Thanks!

Finally A Sunny Day

My girls were so happy that it was a sunny day today. They were dying to get outside and ride their bikes and play. I was happy to let them go run off some of their energy. I went out with them for awhile but I thought it was COLD so I didn't stay out long. Isn't it funny how kids won't admit that they are cold because they just want to keep playing. I am glad to see the sun, it reminds me that spring will be here someday. I just hope that the warmer weather is here to stay. (but I watch the weather so I know better) I have never had spring fever so bad! I think it might have to do with the fact that I am dying to get our yard started and to get the swing set and playhouse up for the girls. Oh, well no sense worrying about it too much I can't do anything about the weather.

Addicted to blogging

I can't believe how much I enjoy blogging, it is my new addiction.( I'm not sure if that is good or not) I feel bad sometimes because Rex will say to me if we aren't busy doing anything "are you going to get on your computer". Its just I love to read all of my friends blogs and look at all of the cute things you all post. I have loved learning more about everyone. I have also met some really fun new people because of blogging. I didn't have any idea that I would enjoy blogging this much when I started. (I wasn't really sure I was going to keep my blog when I started) Thanks so much to all of you for making blogging so fun!

Spring Break?

I feel really bad because this week was spring break and we didn't do anything fun for the girls. Although, Briley was in heaven because Tabrie was home to play with her everyday this week and she wasn't "bored". The weather stunk! It wasn't spring weather at all! It was cold and windy pretty much all week. The only sort of fun thing that we did was go to Artic Circle for lunch on Thursday. We went with Janeal and another one of my friends and her kids. The kids really enjoyed being able to get out of the house and play. I just don't love the food at any of the kid friendly restaurants so I have to talk myself into going to any of them. I am also so scared that my kids will get sick from playing on the toys at places like that so I don't like going to them very often. I am hoping that the weather will get warm soon so that we can start taking the kids to the park for picnics and to play outside on the toys . We got them a swing set for Easter so it would be nice if the weather would warm up so that the ground will dry enough that we could put it up for them to play on. I have spring fever so bad, I just hope spring like weather will show up soon.

Recipe Group

Janeal and I have been thinking that it would be really fun to have a recipe group with all of our blogging friends. I have talked to a couple of other people who are interested. Janeal has a post with more information on what we want to do on her blog. Click here to go to her blog and read the post. If you are interested be sure to leave a comment with the day that will work for you. We want to see how many people are interested. I think that this will be a fun way to have a girls night out and get to know all of our blogging friends a little better. :)

My Little Gamers

I have always wondered if my kids are the only kids who love playing games. My girls ask every single day if we can play a game. We of course don't have time to play games with them every time they ask. We do try to play games with them as often as we can though. They love all games, but their favorites are Princess Uno, Princess Monopoly, and Chutes and Ladders. They are actually quite good at them too. It is so fun to watch them get excited when they win or they do something that will put them in the lead. I love games too! It is so fun spending time with my little family playing games and having fun together. I love my girls so much, I am so glad that they are a part of my life. All of the things that they do throughout the day that are naughty are all worth the "I love you" at the end of the day. I am so grateful for my daughters and hubby they are the best!
