FUN TIMES!!

As a working mom, I often feel bad that my kids don't get to play as much with other kids, (since I'm always working) so this past week, I made an extra effort to have kids over so they could play ( I think I went a little over board!!) one night I had 2 babies and 6 other kids... AAAHHH HELP!! Today we went to a fun place here in SLC, normally it is very expensive, but my awesome husband found this tickets on sale!! THANKS MAX!! we had a great time.

EVERYONE DESERVES A SPECIAL DAY!!

The kids and I decided to make a special day for Max (dad). I think that everyone needs to feel that what you do it matters and that you are appreciated. So the kids made a poster, telling him how much they love him and we baked some cookies (Grandma Hadfield recipe) . Max loved it!! But I think that Caitlin was the one that REALLY enjoy the cookies!!

Yes!! I'M GETTING OLD.. BUT IT IS FUN.. RIGHT?

just some funny jokes about getting old!! Hey is happening anyway, so lets have fun with it!! I hope you laugh as I did, have a great week. Diana

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, 'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied 'Two years older than me' 'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented. She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: 'And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?' the reporter asked She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'

I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have los t all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. 'Wal-Mart?' the preacher exclaimed. 'Why Wal-Mart?' 'Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week'

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, 'For fast relief.'
THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

IN THE GARDEN!!!!

Yesterday Max and I spend almost the whole day working on our garden (I can totally get why the Lord of the vineyard is so tired of working in it!! (Jacob 5) I know we were!! (ha,ha) all the work is paying off, I made an apple pie yesterday, with apples form our own apple tree!! I have to thank my mom for planting the trees, we have a cherry tree, a peach tree and a pear tree!!

HERMANA CAHOON!!

Tere is an extraordinary cook.. and great (pretty much) at everything!! anyway, here is her recipe for the bread pudding...

NICHOLLE UPDATE

It has been such a blessing that since is the second time she gets "Mono" this time is weaker and it is progressing more quickly, she is still miserable but,I'm hoping she will be back to normal in a couple of weeks. The Doctor said that because she is a little girl, ( and very strong) the Mono moves more rapidly. Thanks all of you for the support and prayers. I know we will have our little Nicholle back in no time!
