{TP} Paper Caper and other mischievous acts...

The culprit: Jonas

He's been eyeing the toilet paper for weeks now, maybe months, but just got a chance to get a good hold of it and watch it unfurl. Of course, rather than stopping him in the act, like I usually do, I let him keep going so that I could take some pictures.

Bubble eater:

What a Ham:

Escape artist & Scripture reader:

{his shirt says "I'm definitely up to something"--SO TRUE!!!}

Head-first down the stairs:

Hiding food in his pockets already:

{Why do they make functional pockets anyway??? He always gets food in them and I have to remember to fish it out before I throw it in the dirty clothes}

Computer Hacker:

He loves to play with the mouse and keyboard

{Caught in the act}

{"What did you say mom??? Don't push THIS button?"}

Bag Tag

Here's my current bag. Sometimes I carry around a smaller one when I don't have Jonas with me.

Inside, you will find:

changing pad, diaper/wipes holder, immunization card, growth chart, 2 pens

wallet, check book, brown purse for coupons & gift cards, Hattie Bates Photography copyright release card, cinamon mint, tickets to Clark Planetarium & Chukars game, basketball, purple bag of essentials {chapstick, hand sani, bandaids, lotion, nail file, nail clippers, etc.}, Kleenexes, and of course, snacks for Jonas.

If you like my diaper bag, you can check it out (as well as lots of other stuff) at www.eightydaisies.com

I tag: my sistas (including in-laws) and anyone else who hasn't done it yet and would like to.

Hey BEES!!!

If you are a fellow 2000 graduate of BEHS, check out this website:

http://classreport.org/usa/ut/brigham_city/behs/2000/

Thanks for the link, Jenn. Adam Folkman set it up. It has class members on it and you should join it so that you are no longer "missing" from the records. Yeah, so we didn't even have a 5 year reunion {lame} but you can keep it updated for our 10 yr, which is just around the corner {can you believe it?!?}.

{My graduation photo, with some friends, for fun!}

Don't worry, I'm still alive

Too many pictures, so I created slideshows to fill you in on what we've been up to lately.

NOTE: my photobucket slideshows aren't working for some reason, so you can click on *view all images* and it will open up a new window to watch the slideshow. Sometimes it starts repeating photos before all are shown, so wait it out to see them all. Sorry for the bummer technology!

{Mr. Piano man}

Jonas just LOVES to play the piano, so I snapped a bunch of pictures one day. This is only a sample of what I took.

{Peach Days '08}

I didn't get to do much as far as the festivities go {the only thing I got to do was watch a bit of the parade :0( } because I was manning a booth all day Friday and Saturday. The only times I left were to go to the bathroom or get food. I was bummed to not be able to enjoy the celebration and spend time with my family, but we did pretty good at the booth as far as sales go. It was stressful and I don't know if I'll do it again. We'll see when next year rolls around.

{Labor Day Weekend with Pete's Family}

We had such a great time, as you can see, hanging out with everyone. We were sad to see them all go after the long weekend. Hopefully we'll get to see them all again soon.

Come and see me @ Peach Days!!!

I will be selling stuff at a booth for Peach Days. If you want to drop by and say "hi," that would be great. I will be in booth #168 which is in the middle isle at the Community Center. Most of the stuff we're selling is baby stuff, but there is also jewelry, so come check it out and bring your family & friends. This is why I haven't blogged in a while, nor commented on your blogs. Next week, my children's choir starts back up and then I think my head will be on straight :0} See y'all soon!!!
