What's better than watching MacGyver? Having your own MacGyver at home who can always come up with "The Other Way" to fix things and save money!Since October of last year, Reid has been asking for a 'Rock Star-Pop Star' birthday party (his birthday isn't until April). I have soo much fun and absolutely LOVE planning their birthday parties...here's a little preview of what's to come...
I found this site off of my friend Jessica's blog. These ties are soo cute! They have an elastic band that would go around the neck so the little ones can't pull them off! Plus, you can send her some old ties of your hubbies and the measurements for your son and she can refit it for your little one!!! I'm planning on doing this for Easter. Jed has so many ties, I think it would be fun for them to have one of Daddy's ties! Just thought I'd pass on the great find!

OK, so i know in my last post about Midnight Sun I said i was probably not going to read it. Well, for those who don't know me well, I have ZERO self-control! I gave in and I couldn't stop. I stayed up until 4:30 this morning to finish it. I mostly wanted to get it done because I have a lot of stuff to do today...and what am I doing instead? BLOGGING?!
I was disappointed when it ended, I wanted more! i hope she realizes that just about EVERY female wants her to finish it and decides to do so. It was very interesting to hear Edward's side and to know where he was and what he was thinking when he vanished all those times.
For those who haven't read it yet, it is worth reading...but it will leave you wanting more. I read it off her blog so I didn't feel like I was going behind her back.
Today I babysat (6 kids+my 2) from 7:45AM to 6:45PM...I need a break!
Oh wait, I'm going to get one. The first time I will go on a trip without the kids...or Jed (for 4 days)!!!
15 more days:)...and counting!
For those who are on the Bench side (of Jed's side). Check out the MyFamily discussion board, we're trying to get a family reunion going and need everyone's input. If you are a Bench and have no idea what I'm talking about let Dan know (I think he can only invite those to join). Unless anyone can and just let me know!
So after I picked Reid up from preschool, i got back in the truck and tried it start it. It completely shut down. NO power, nothing. We were planning on meeting some friends for playgroup at the waterfall (sorry we missed it, Reid was so sad). I called Jed (luckily he was home but had a class at 1:00, it was then 11:45). He came and took a look at it. The security mechanism thingy (technical words I know) turned on. It's there so if anyone tries to steal the truck it shuts it down completely. Why it turned on us, i don't know. Jed got in the truck, not knowing it wasn't in gear and pulled out the break. We were on a hill and he jumped the curb and ran into a neighbors tree. Luckily it just smashed some branches. It was a site though (and scared the owner) I wished I had a camera, it looked like we went out of control while driving and crashed.
After fiddling with the battery Jed realized there was a bad connection. By this time it was 12:15. We hooked the truck with tie downs then hooked it to our mazda. We needed to get it out of the flower bed and back onto the road. Luckily our mazda was strong enough to pull it (we'd push it but it was up hill).
To make a long story just a little bit longer, we dropped jed off to his class on time, picked up a battery then picked Jed back up and replaced the battery.
All I have to say is that I am grateful to have an amazing husband who knows a lot about vehicles. I know it was just a battery, but I wouldn't know how to fix it! Thanx babe for saving us!
For those who may have not heard about what happened to Stephanie Meyer's partial draft of Midnight Sun, check out her site...

It's a shame that there are some people who are very inconsiderate and have no respect for how much hard work she has put into her novels, especially someone she trusted.
I haven't read it yet and don't know if I will. I don't know when she'll finish it but I kind of want to wait until I get the whole thing without any errors.
Jed went fishing Saturday morning and came home with this wopper! A huge channel catfish! But this picture doesn't do it justice....
Holding it up next to William, you can tell how big it really is!
Unfortunately, Reid isn't much taller, that boy needs to start growing or his younger brother is going to catch up fast!
They are getting more and more used to fish, they like to touch them because they're slimy!
Tuesday was Reid's 1st day of preschool. Some ladies in my ward and I are doing a joyschool where each mom takes a turn teaching. (I think I am more excited about it than Reid is!) He was excited about it the whole weekend and then the day came...he decided he didn't want to go. Luckily we were able to get out of the house on time and once we got there and saw all his friends, he got excited again! Plus he was able to bring Mr. Tiger with him to show and tell...Mr Tiger keeps him safe every night when he sleeps! When I picked him up and asked him how it was he said, "Great! It was fun, I got to eat icecream!" (They made friendship icecream where everyone brings their favorite mixin and mixes it together...yum). 2 more weeks and I get to be his teacher!
WOW! It's been so long since I've posted. Honestly I was waiting for more memories, I just never made time to post. Also we have a new camera and I haven't learned how to get the pictures off! So once I learn, I'll post the pictures. But here's a little bit about what's going on in our lives!
Jed: He finished Organic Chemistry 2 with an A-!!! It's the first time he smiled when he told me his grade :) He's now taking a full load at UVU and still wonders what he wants to be when he grows up!
Leona: Has joined the wards book club and is excited to reading a different variety of books. Also has joined a preschool group and is way excited to start teaching again (though she wishes to teach more!) Still babysitting 6 kids and is not baby hungry anymore (now that she has a baby to take care of and remember what goes in to taking care of a newborn, she's just glad she gets to sleep at night!)
Reid: He's had a great summer and is so excited to start preschool next week. Very active and amazes everyone with how smart he is. he loves his little brother and tries hard to be a GOOD big brother.
William: Is walking all over the place. Once he started walking it was like his personality erupted! He tries to do EVERYTHING his big brother does and surprisingly he's able to do a lot. he figures things out and enjoys playing by himself! (which mom likes)
