Let hilarity ensue

You MUST watch this movie (it's on Netflix) We laughed for an hour straight. It felt amazing. And the bonus? It wasn't raunchy at all!

Precious moments

This was a moment that I am going to treasure. Elyse was reading to Levi. They don't get along most of the time so when they are loving on eachother it is precious. Levi absolutely LOVES to be read to. He has listened to many a chapter book. Here they are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love that he loves to listen and I hope that his love extends to reading as well when he learns. 

Giveaway winner ANNOUNCED!!

Whew I know you are all so excited for this moment! I had 946 comments! (minus 940) And that my friends is a new record for me!

And the winner is............just a little FYI I have the best daughter in the world. Please scroll down to the soap nuts post and click on the comments button (which you can't see because it's the same color as the background and I have no clue how to fix it) and read her comment...so cute!

And the winner is...............actually before I announce the winner I want to thank you all for boosting my self esteem. I mean you shouldn't have!

The winner is...............Miss Becky Briscoe!! (formerly Sister Wright who some of you may remember from her time as a missionary in our ward) I LOVE Becky and am excited that she will get to enjoy the awesomeness that is the soap nut.

Becky, send me your address and I'll send these right out...well probably not right out but definitely sometime in the next few weeks :)

Peace out.

Levi's class

Here is a shot of Levi's class. I can't believe that the year is over in a few days! It has gone by so fast. Levi has absolutely LOVED Pre k and has made some sweet friends. His teacher Maricela, is from Mexico. As a result Levi and his friends say certain words with um....well an accent. 

Por ejemplo: Levi is called by one and all Lee-VI with the emphasis on VI and recess is re-CESS :)

Evan

 

This was the first day that Evan had eggs. He loved them! It was also the last day that he had eggs, because the next day he decided he hated them.

 

Evan had a guacamole mustache but of course I missed it, instead we just have the cutest face around sans mustache. 

Newsies!!

It would be so cool if this post was about how Levi won the Newsies lottery and then we went to see it and loved it and had a grand time. 

But instead it will be about how Levi won the Newsies lottery and everyone was crabby and no one wanted to go so I gave the tickets away. The end. 

PS I heard it is amazing. 

 

Soap Nuts!

I said earlier that I would tell you all about what I use for my laundry detergent. Soap nuts are all natural and when you buy them from a good source 100% organic. You just throw them in the wash and they clean your clothes and you can use them up to 6 times! I know, what a thorough explanation now you totally get it. Well if I wasn't clear enough for you here is a link to a website that explains a bit more http://www.buysoapnuts.com/

Soap nuts are awesome and since I really want you to try them I am giving away one small packet (good for 12 loads) complete with washing bag to one lucky winner! Just leave a comment here and tell me why you think I'm awesome** and I'll choose someone at random in about a week or when I have more than one comment, whichever comes first. 

**or you can just say hi, hey or even howdy no need to tell me why I'm awesome but then that would make you lame.

Hooray for free stuff!!
