A really bad joke

Knock, Knock
Who's There?
Whip
Whip who?
Whippoo , that's the name you have to call if you want to reach us from the community entry gate.

**insert knee slapping laugh here**

My VT clued me into that when she came for a visit on Friday. I don't know when that happened, but for the time being we are the Whippoo's.

Fly, little bloggers fly!

Wednesday night was the blogging class and 3 people came. Yay! Two of those ladies set up their blogs and got underway. I think they are hooked because they have added tons of pictures and links and things to their blogs.

Time just flew by so fast and it was 9pm before we knew it. I really wish we had been able to get through more things, but I'm so happy they got a good start.
There may have to be more sessions or I really want to set up some one-on-one time. That way depending on people's skill level we can do different things.

Of course, I created a blog for the Blog class. For now it has some basic info and loads of links. I think I will continue to update it though with new and interesting things as I find them.
The blogging blog is http://SoMtnBlogging.blogspot.com

Here are my two newest blogging buddies:
Brenda
Rejli

Oh and for my Father-in-law's info, that makes 3 active blogs for me and I'm not done yet. :)

Cutest cowgirl in the West

If I did not already have Morgan's Halloween costume, then I would for sure have bought this. How cute is she. A happy surprise that her little outfit sort of goes with it.

Yes, I am this desperate for Morgan to have hair that I will result to yarn headbands.

Donate to help a struggling family

You may or may not have heard about a plane crash that happened over the weekend near St Johns. Well two people were critically injured and one person passed away when a small aircraft crashed on Saturday night. I don't know this couple, but they are a nice LDS family living in Mesa, Stephanie and Christian Nielsen. They have four small children and are currently in critical condition with severe burns. Stephanie's sister is posting updates and ways for people to help on her blog, http://cjanerun.com

They will be facing medical bills in the millions as well as your everyday type expenses.

My heart was really touched reading about this family and how much they need love and support right now. If you want to donate to help this family you can click on the button below. You can also go to the website above and see some other ways to help and check on their progress. If you can't give financially, please keep them in your prayers.

Unnatural Anxiety

I'm a worrier by nature{nurture played a big part too I'm sure.} I choose to worry about upcoming events a good deal of the time. My two current worries are what to do for Morgan's 1st birthday party(in December) and Joshua's 3rd birthday(in January). I spend a good deal of time trying to think out all my options and come up with good ideas. This revelation should help everyone understand why late notice for events can make me grouchy. I'm a planner. Moving on....

Today I got the idea to have Joshua's party at a train park. I packed up the kids and off we went to scope out Desert Breeze park in Chandler. After a close race between Desert Breeze and McCormick Stillman park in Scottsdale, we went with Desert Breeze. I'm pleased to announce then that I have a Ramada reserved for January 10th at Desert Breeze Park. I must say this is a little excessive even for me, but it gives me warm fuzzies inside that I don't have to stress about it anymore.

Expect the e-vite next week. :)

A fun detail of the day is when Joshua and I got caught, through by own stupidity, standing in the middle of the Splash park when it went off in our clothes. Duh.

Now to turn my brain power to Joshua's Halloween costume! {I bought Morgan's before she was born}
