Are you kidding? Not when it comes to Josh!! He is such a goof......ha ha ha.....he fell back words in the recliner at Nana's house. ha ha ha
"Very funny guys...now could you help me up?"
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Last week we were eating some BIG, YUMMY peaches, and I mentioned to Jaxon I had read a book about a giant peach. I went into the school library and borrowed James and the Giant Peach. As we were walking out of the school, I showed Jaxon the book. He checked it out and started to get excited! All the way home he looked through the book and at all the great pictures trying to figure out what they are. (he must not have seen the movie?) We have been reading it every night since Monday. He is totally excited to listen to the story and go to bed. It is so awesome to see him have such a thrill over a story. We are just getting to the "good" part, James just walked into the peach. I can't wait to read The BFG to him (and Josh). They will love it. :D
In the past few months we have made a couple of trips up north (West Point/Layton) to visit family members in the hospital. These pictures are from a weekend we spent visiting with Uncle Lyle. Josh was able to visit Lyle with Mom and Grandma Veibell. Then he helped Mandy and Nick with their basement for the night. His back was "oh so sore" after holding the sheetrock for the ceiling above his head, that he didn't do much over the next couple of days. We stayed until Tues. Josh and I took Jaythan and Jinaya over to visit with Uncle Lyle some more. Josh really enjoyed talking with him about stereos, HD, football, Nascar, Boating, and so much more. They really have a lot in common and Josh misses being able to spend more time with Uncle Lyle. It's too bad I didn't think to take pictures. :(

Michael and Jinaya were so cute driving around in this truck!
As a Pampered Chef Consultant I get asked if "I cook like this for my family everynight?" The answer was a couple of times a week. Well I am happy to admit I am cooking like this almost everynight. I love things that can get done in 30 minutes. I also like this that I can make with what I've got! After a while my cupboards have the same things...and so does our dinner table.
Anyway, I want to start a blog with all my friends (if you are reading this...that means YOU!!) Where we post our favorite recipes together. I love when people post the "what's for dinner" on Facebook..and well...I was going to blog it alone...but I like friends. Let's share. I have another blog. If you want me to add you to this so you can post to this blog leave me a comment.
happy Cooking!
On the 24th of July we had planned to stay home and clean, but Dad got tired of that. We packed our bags and headed for Nana's. Before we left we recieved a surprise visit from Bret & Holly & girls. It was so great to see them!!!
We had a BBQ at Grandma Veibells on Saturday. We were glad to have Jeff, Katie, and Valo join us. (Mandy & Nick were on their way home from Hawaii!)

I was referred to diapers.com by a friend, Thanks Jeannie!! So I checked it out! I love it. I have had the run around with products at the local large mart, find a brand I like and then can't find it again! GRRR! They have the ones I like and if you spend $49 you get free shipping to your door in 2-3 business days. The prices seemed pretty comparable when you don't pay for shipping. You can also send in coupons!! (I have tons from $1.50 to $3.00). They have about anything you can think of from diapers to dressers, car seats, sippy cups, you name it and they have it. (I even saw some fertility vitamins or something for MEN and Women!) I got a case of diapers that will last twice as long for about $5 less than 2 large boxes available here. And for me less trips to the store are a savings. (I won't get extra junk.)
So for the good part once you register you will get a referral code and when you friends use it they will get $10 off their first order of $49 or more and you get $1 off every time it is used and it just keeps track of it. So my referral code is JSHARP10. Use it and you will get the $10 dollars off. I had in my cart $65 and only spent $55, I got a case of diapers (good for a month), sippy cups replacement thingys, 2 boxes of nursing pads, and some super cute Carter's Onesies (on Sale!). I just ordered so everything will be here by Friday!!
Anyway, I thought I would try it out. And you can pay with PayPal...wahoo all those sold ebay items can pay for diapers ha ha ha. Just kidding. Thanks again for the referral Jeannie, and I totally copied a lot of your post because I could soooo relate!!!
Oh Look, Here is the sample email they can send out for you.
Thought you might be interested in this website I discovered, www.diapers.com. They deliver diapers, wipes, formula and other baby necessities at really low prices with fast free shipping. They carry all the big brands and hard-to-find products too.
If you enter my email address or Referral Code on the shopping cart screen, you'll get an extra $10 off your first order of diapers. And I'll get a $1 credit each time you order. It's a great way we can both save!
My Email Address: jsharp@mail.manti.comCheck it out at www.diapers.com.
Boo is under the bean bag, Bella is on top with blue shirt, and Jina is sitting at the top of the steps.
The bean bags didn't quite slide down the steps. They got stuck in the ruts.
But the girls had a blast anyway!
Tah-Duh! Jaxon's First Day of First Grade!! He was excited to go in the Durango (notice the wheels). On Friday Jaxon came home from Gramma's and we went to the school to find his classroom and meet his teacher, Mrs. Oliver. He snooped around a little, then was ready for Monday!
He looks a little nervous, but I don't think he was.....Jaxon had to hold the smile forever before the camera clicked! Also all the kids were awake to see Jaxon off to school. They were excited too.
I think one of the most exciting parts for Jaxon was his new shoes!!! They are "Skatchers." "They are so comfortable. Good thing you got these for me for school mom."
"Enough with the pictures" is what Jaxon was thinking I am sure. But he was a good sport. He didn't get lost or nervous or anything. He is getting so big. Mommy had to remind herself to "Buck up" as she left the school. (I wanted to cry, although I am not sure why. I wasn't like this for Kindergarten.)BTW...Jaxon has been at Nana's then Grama's for 2 weeks...we sure miss him. When Grama was talking about when he would come home, she told him there was 20 days until school started. Jaxon said he would stay 20 days. Then he thought for a moment, "I've decided I should stay for 19 days." Over the next few days Jaxon and Gramma came up with another plan that brings him home tomorrow. Gramma called this morning to tell me Jaxon is excited to come home! (Although I think he is more exited for school and not a bit homesick! I can't believe he is growing up!)
It's a bummer all the photos came out a little blurry. No it isn't your screen. Anyway I just thought Boo looked beautiful, the only thing missing is her smile! Love you Boo!
Jaythan was blessed on August 2nd, 2009 by his Daddy in Ephraim. :) Friends and family came and we took lots of pictures. At 2 months old, Jaythan weighs about 11 lbs. He is starting to smile and notice things more. He really enjoys being around lots of people and listening to them talk. We all had a great day.

After a late church and long afternoon, the kids weren't too happy about getting pictures. So we all decided to cry too! (or some of us.)
