months a go in a mining disaster that killed 200 fathers...after much debate with three presidents to go through...fathers day was finally established by Nixon in 1972...and would be the third Sunday of June... every year...the only reason it was finally acknowledge was because of the lady who made mothers day...said it was unfair to celebrate mothers day and not fathers day as well...so it was made a holiday...so now for fathers day...it is usually spent with a special dinner for dad...or and outing with the family....The most common gifts are ties and office supplies...Also the most collect calls are made on fathers day ...out of the whole year...that was a surprise to know that....So for us to celebrate fathers day...we made a breakfast try for dad...but with out the breakfast...he was fasting...and we decorated it up for him..and the kids were supper excited about giving there gifts to dad....we went to church..and then came home and had a wonderful dinner...with all the trimmings..and good cream hearsay pie....yum...he had a wonderful fathers day...and loved all of his gifts...He is a special man...and a Wonderful father...He does so much for our family and gives his all...we love him very much...Your the best Honey pie.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

street from us.......So I like to go at night time and get as many coupons as I can...so that I can buy lots of something for a great price...so I use to put the girls in the garbage can...because they were light and I could help them get out..but they didn't look very fast and they weren't sure what they were suppose to look at..and then we would wast to much time...so On my next visit...to the recycling bin..I took my husband with me..so he could help me in and help me back out....the night that we went...it was so cold and raining out side...so while I was in the garbage ..I was getting dripped on by the rain..it was not that much fun...plus it's dark out side..so you have to have a handy flash light so you can see what your looking for....my worst fear about being in there..is something hiding out waiting to bite me...yikes..that would not be fun...lol...any way.....Jesse thought it would be nice to take my pic..and post it on Facebook so all our friends and family could see what his dear wife is doing these days...lol...So here I am next...Telling all about my new adventures...in this ex-stream couponing...Just to save a extra couple of bucks..when I'm out shopping...lol..So enjoy you peek in to my lovely life...as a busy wife and mom...buildingburkmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03003954777739903316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973004278614114851.post-76077726186952356562011-06-03T16:25:00.000-06:002011-06-03T16:26:07.729-06:00Sugar

to let them know how appreciative I was for them doing all that hard work...so as I was looking around I found some great ideas..and one of them being that I chose to make was this sugar scrub.....This is something that I could make that was simple and easy and wouldn't take that long to make and could be done in a day...and I also had all the supplies ready to make them...so I made one brown sugar vanilla scrub and one lemon lime scrub...they are simple and easy to make....You take two and half cups of white granulated sugar and then one cup of extra virgin olive oil... and then you add you flavoring...of your choice...like brown sugar..and vanilla extract and then lemon and lime juice..and then if you have scented oils for soaps and such you can make that as well..So after you mix it all together in a mixer until it's all nice and scrub like..you just put it in a jar of some sort that you can decorate up how ever you choose..I found all my supplies at the dollar store...very cheep...and inexpensive to give as a gift...after I put them together I made a card for each teacher and had the girls write a letter to them...thanking them and there thoughts about there teacher...they loved it...and so did the teachers....Fun Gift to make..<br /><br /><br />Here are the two flavors and I just printed up a tag for them..and then modpodge them on there..<br /><br

stores and such..but none that was big enough or that caught our eye...so as we were thinking about what we wanted to do with the back yard and renovating it...we thought hey you know...we could use those extra bricks and make a sweet fire pit with them..and we had the gravel and already a huge spot to put it...where we tour out a huge pine tree last year when we bought the house...so today on a not to cold or hot day..we got to work making our family fire pit..and the kids helped out....we use the old play house for our wood..and to celebrate our family fire pit we roasted smores...which was a lot of fun for the kids...though koby our dog..did not like the fire as much...he tried to stay far away from it....good dog I though....lol....Mercedi she was sure to try to stay away too..she doesn't like the smoke much...don't blame here though..it is hard to breath that stuff in....lol....Melanie she saw that everyone was making the smores..and she wanted one as well...but I didn't roast her marshmallow...I just made it all up for her..and handed it to her and she took a big bite..and then pulled this funny face..and started pulling the smore apart...and then she got down to the chocolate and she was happy with that...she only wanted that chocolate....What can I say a girl after my own heart...I would skip to the chocolate as well....So after much roasting marshmallows..the kids all went inside..and I got to just sit out side..next to the coals burning...with the nice breeze out side and just quietness...I could of fallen to sleep..it was just so relaxing..and I could smell the wood burning and it just felt like I was out in the woods...day dreaming...wonderful thing for sure...So it just goes to show you don't have to go to far away for a nice fire in the back yard....We are all happy to have this new addition to our back yard fun!!!<br /><br /> The kids getting ready to do some roasting....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}

Couponing!!!!!So on Saturday...Jesse and I was watching a show on TLC....and it was called ex stream couponing...and we thought hmmmm..what is this...and as we were watching we started thinking...why in all the world..did we not know about this...and what was taking place was, people are going through the papers and getting coupons..and then saving them and as they collect lots of coupons, they watch for adds in the paper for things to go on sale and on clearance and then you use your coupons and you end up getting things for free...At the end of there total they were spending up to a thousand dollars but after all there coupons..they would walk out of the store only paying a couple of bucks....talk about crazy...so I thought we should try doing this couponing thing, so the next day we went out and got some newspapers and found sites on the internet of place for coupons and also going to the recycling center and getting coupons as well...so for my first coupon shopping..I went to Walgreen..and guess what..I ended up spending around 11 dollars for all my stuff..and walked out with five 2 litter sodas for free....yahoo...so I am going to continue to look for deals and save my coupons...so that i can save our family money...What a neat program for sure...Here are some pics of us getting all crazy...lol<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try

the reason why mothers day was even celebrated at all...Well it was because...there were many mothers who sons fought in the civil war and died..and it was to bring them together and help in remembrance...The woman who started it was Ann Jarvis...but she didn't get to live to see it established..she passed away..but her daughter Anna Marie Jarvis continued to carry it through...Her mother each year would pass around 500 carnations to all the mothers...So this is where the tradition of wearing a carnation on mothers day came from...they use to only be just white or red...and you wore the white if your mother is dead and red if she was still alive..The date was set to be every second Sunday in may...and in 1934 it was official stamped a holiday...After it became a holiday Anna thought it was getting out of control..she started arguing against people purchasing greeting cards and other things..to give to there mothers...she thought this was to lazy...soon she said she had wished she never carried this out to become a holiday...it had lost its purpose...but today it is one of the biggest retail and purchase for jewelry and flower's and other things for all the moms out there...I thought I would share this story with you ...I thought it to be very interesting....I was so happy to wake up Sunday morning to my kids pulling me out of bed at 5:30 in the morning...to give me breakfast and there gifts they made for me...my husband had to work early this day...and he wanted to make sure I had a wonderful morning before he left...he decorated my tray so beautifully and got the kids all involved in mothers day to help me know how special they each felt for me...I am so glad to be a mother and a wife..to a loving thoughtful husband...Happy Mothers day to all....<br

room and teachers..Mercedi was able to learn to play the recorder this year...they got a new song each week to learn how to play and as they practiced and learned the song they would get a belt a sting that you might say to put on there recorder ...so they earned from a white belt to a black belt...So each week we got to here mercedi learn how to play this instrument...At first it was torcher!!!!!..then she began to get really good at it..and soon she made it all the way on the songs..though they ran out of time to test...She was on her blue belt when the concert started...she was bummed..but she still continued to learn the other songs..and accomplish the belts...This video is of her playing her favorite song...out of them all...it was very quite cute..and fun...She did awesome at it...Way to go mercedi...<br /><br /><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a

Fun begins....So this Easter weekend....I took the kids to the annual Easter egg hunt here in billings...well one the them that they hold..this Easter egg hunt was sponsored by the Harvest church and it was held at the castle rock Park..which is just down the street form us...So we decided to walk there...which was great because...there were so many people..and hardly any places to park...so good choice I thought...though the kids were like mom.....are we there yet..how much longer do we need to walk...I was thinking in my mind that it has been a long winter..they are not exercised enough...we need to get out more..and hopefully with the spring coming we can...lol...Any who..We arrived there..and got a fl yer of where we needed to be and sense my husband had to work this lovely day..I had mercedi pair up with mikayla..in a group and then I took logan and melanie together in logans group..it worked out well...The kids had so much fun hunting for Easter eggs...and they even got quite a few eggs as well...and there were so many kids who saw that other didn't have very many and took from there own basket and gave to kids who did not have much..I thought that was very kind of these kids..there parents are teaching them right...So after that...we adventured home and then dad got home at super time and we began coloring the eggs...This went by pretty fast..they are always so eager to decorate there eggs..and of course every year one of the Easter dyes get tipped over and we have a big mess to clean up....love the smell of vinegar lingering on ...lol...After which was bed time and time to set the easter baskets out....Of course this whole week leading up to Easter mercedi had an easter book that explained Jesus last days and the advents that took place...this was a great way of helping the kids learn a little bit about the savior and what he went through for us..and why we celebrate easter...To know that he died for us...I love teaching the kids about our savior...and they loving hearing the stories....So soon it was morning..and they were up bright and early....which was good because jesse was leaving for work..and he was able to participate with that good news in the morning..they were all very happy to get there sweet gifts....Now sense church doesn't start until one this year..we just waited around until it was time to get ready...listening to church music...As soon as we got all ready..I took there pictures out side..with there easter attire...I made mercedi and mikayla's dresses..though mikayla was not having a good day..she was not wanting to take pictures..I am assuming it was because she was up way to early...lol...any way..logan looked sharp in his new green shirt and tie..and melanie in her cute flower dress...she too will have dresses made when she gets a little older..and they last a while in growth..lol...Then off to church we went..it was a wonderful day and easter celebration...When also had some great dinner...ham and funeral potatoes and corn on the cob and of coarse....I made apple pie...I love apple pie..it is my favorite pie out there...yummmy...What an Easter Day!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try

<br />
<br />After the trip to Mt. Rush More...we decided to go house hunting...to find the perfect house for us!!!!! Though we did not have much time to find one...we only had two weeks to find one..so we could be out of our town house in the next month...so we looked every day for three hours each until we found what we were looking for...though I don't have a pic for it...we love the house...we got a house with three front rooms..one being unfinished...six bedrooms..one being unfinished...three bath rooms...and a wonderful sized back yard...with just a field out back...very peaceful and quite...we didn't do much until then...
<br />
<br />Next we have the girls starting school...They are now going to eagle cliff school..and they were very excited about that...Mercedi is in third grade..and Mikayla is in 1st...they are growing up so fast...

<br />
<br />So for the past 7 1/2 years my brother Nathan has been in prison..and we haven't been able to see him...so when we all found out that he was going to be able to get out...we were all super excited he got out a couple of weeks before my birthday so we traveled down to go and see him my birthday weekend...it was the best birthday ever..I got to visit with my brother Nathan and just hug him away...he has grown so much sense the last time I have seen him...and it is so wearied to see him as a man..because all these years I have been viewing him as a young 17 year old boy...that was the last time I had seen him..and had memories...so to see him all grown up was different...but we sure did love visiting with him...and are so very thankful that he is home..and gets to start a new and finish his life around the family!!!!!...

<br />Right before I turned 30!!!!!! this year..I went and had my eyes chedcked..and found out that I have a astigmatism...not to bad..just saying that well when I read and drive...I should where my eye glasses to help out...so I thought it would be super cool to have them..and I at first wore them all the time to get use to them..but then thought...you know I think I will just where them when needed...but I do like them..and the coloring on them....

<br />This year was also a very special year...this year.... My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary..and we celebrated it..by going to the temple her in billings..and doing sealing...it was very nice and peaceful..and made our marriage seem even more real and meaningful...by reminding our selves of the covenants we made the day we were sealed together in the temple for all time and eternity...How I love this man...and will continue to do so for the rest of eternity...

<br />So right before thanksgiving..we went to the pet smart store..to go and find a crate for our dog...to be in while we were out and about for the winter..and we walked by the adoption center..and I spotted this Siamese lynx cat..and he had such a pretty color and he was soft..and he just melted our hearts...even my husband thought he was a cool looking cat..so we adopted him and brought him home...and gave him the name Riley...soon after bringing him home...he started sneezing and goo was coming out of his eyes and nose..so we took him to the vet and he had caught an upper respiratory infection from the shelter..so we got him so meds..and I began to have to nurse him back to health...so after two weeks of that..he was better..and has become best friends with the dog..and the dog likes the cat as well...they play well together...they even groom each other...it is very cute....

<br />For an activity we did as a family right before Christmas..we went to the Moss Mansion here in billings..and it was really neat..they had some really neat rooms in there..and right now was the family celebration event going on..and they had a Christmas tree in each room...decorated..and then you voted on which one you thought was the coolest..and they had crafts for the kids to make..they made a stocking and a little angel...I thought that was really neat of them to do that...the kids enjoyed looking through this mansion...and just going crazy at all the old stuff they use to have...it was a fun family outing!!!!
