It's my birthday weekend!!
So I have today off which makes for a 3 day weekend!
So I was able to go to craft day with my mom and stay the whole time! We started out by going to the craft store to get material for the next outfit for our dolls- Easter dresses!
Then to Sharon's. Here's all the crafters... Kent was there for a bit too cause he was at the OC college.
Then Jeromy and I went shopping. I got a new purse and some earrings- gotta have my silver hoops! Then we went to Famous Dave's for dinner. Hard to stay on those weight watchers points but I did have a salad!
And the last picture is my final birthday present... An hour and a half aroma therapy massage and a facial! I can't wait- its been years since I've had either and I've never had an hour and a half massage.... I'm going to be like putty... It's going to be epic....
The Lord is so good to me- too many blessings to count.....

Cute Valentines dolls and yummy food!!!
So I finished all 4 of our doll's Valentine dresses... And we faced-timed Jade so she could see- and using my mom's iPad we got a picture of all four of us like Jade was there.
The next pictures are some more recipes I've tried. Except I didn't get a picture of the steak chili I made- oh well.
Jeromy wanted me to find a goat cheese macaroni and cheese dinner cuz he misses that so much with not being able to eat dairy. So I found a couple and had him choose... There are 3 kinds of cheese- you can see in the picture, I also made homemade bread crumbs and added turkey bacon- he loved it- so did the kids and I. It tasted so good!
Next we went to my parents tonight and I was making a a chicken, walnut, pesto penne pasta dish- I loved it!!!!! The cheese was sheep cheese mom and dad- but it wasn't goat cheese!!!
My mom and dad made a pineapple cake that is one of Jeromy's favorite for dessert so we are all full and happy.

Some cool stuff...
My mom and I had a mini craft day today. I was working on our doll's valentines outfits- tooooo cute. I'm cross-stitching our names on a shirt then we each picked out the color material for the skirt. Aurora still needs to pick out hers.
Then there's a picture of Kent learning Greek. And get this- he's doing it just for fun!!! It's not a class or anything, he's just doing it for fun on. His own time. Genius.... Just sayin'.
Then the last picture is Jeromy doing his first podcast. It's his latest evangelism tool for reaching people for Christ. He's such a go getter- I love that man!!
Oh and we have the next 3 days off woo-hoo!!!!

issues
So I did update my blog. But when I check my blog on the computer it is cutting off half of the picture. Like that first picture in the post my face is cut in half. And a little further down the picture of Kent and I- Jade is actually in it too but she's cut off, some of the other pictures are cut too....
WHY IS THAT????
Then when I check my blog on my ipad the pictures look fine, but when I click the "web version" the pictures are cut again.
SO IRRITATING MAKES ME WANT TO SPIT!
Anyway, if you haven't seen my latest post, go ahead and scroll down, just be aware depending on which "version" you're looking at some of the pictures are cropped and blogger also added some nice old lady naked pictures in granny underware for your viewing pleasure.
THANKS BLOGGER!!!

Ok- here we go again
I am posting this from my iPad mini. I still hate the fact that blogger is putting ugly advertising pictures on my blog that are sometimes there and sometimes not.
Anyway, since I'm doing this from my iPad I'm not sure how to get the pictures between the text like I usually do.... Si if I can't here's what's coming....
1- some cute pictures of Jade while she was here for 8 days.
2. A funny picture of my brother in his hunting gear with my niece Savannah.
3. A picture of Kent enjoying dinner at Red Robin with my parents who love to spoil him!!!
4. Some adorable pictures of Aurora in her school play "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". She was Varuka Salt- the rich spoiled girl- totally the opposite of Aurora so you know she has some good acting skills to pull that off. She also sang a solo. She has a great voice.
5. And lastly some dinners I made. Most of them are weight watchers stuff... Enjoy

Not happy with blogger
Well, I think I might be closing down this sight soon. My mom said she was having problems uploading pictures the other day- like the button that you push to upload wasn't even there. Yeah, that would be a problem.
So last night I tried to blog and I had the exact same problem. LAME. Why does it have to be so difficult?
Then tonight I make another attempt and I saw something that made me so mad. Lately we all know that we are having the forced advertisements at the top of the blogs in blogger. Well, today on the right side of my blog I have all the added little "gadgets" and the last one blogger/google decided to add ANOTHER advertisement against my will. Makes me sick. They decided to post before and after photos of someone flabby nasty naked gut- pictures that were larger than some of the ones of my kids. Most people know that those disgusting pictures are not something I would post. Just makes me mad that they just attach them like I want them there front and center.... ok front and right.
As you can tell, I am sooo irritated with this, I sent a complaint to blogger- not a very Christian response- but I was mad, about my displeasure at what they are doing. Not that they will change.
Anyway so I can't put any pictures into my blog posts now which is shame cause I have some cute ones of Jade and some of the yummy recipes I've been trying.
Like I said I might be shutting this lame sight down.
:o(

The last couple of days.
Then we had sort of a new year's eve-eve night over at the Smiths to hang out with the McLellans. Her are Jeremy, Jason and Jeromy about to head out to get more food for our Mexican dinner.
But Jason accidentally backed his monster truck into my little baby car. My new Honda Fit..
The passenger side door was smashed and it shattered the window.
Me crying over my car.. but it's just a car right?! We are supposed to praise the Lord in tough times right Laura? Well PRAISE THE LORD!!!
But it is just a car and they/we have good insurance. Nothing to worry about.
Besides we had other fun things to do like hanging out with friends and family... from left to right: Christy, Laura, Aurora, Katie, Jade, Jeromy- J3, Jeremy- J1 and Jason.
Boys and their toys...
This should be illegal...
Yep, he loves me....
OK, so the for real New Year's Eve. Earlier in the day everyone was playing on their toys!
We actually found this really cool game- actually 2 games thanks to the Jones'... and look everyone is playing it!
Getting all our munchies ready...
We also had a huge 2013 poster we all took turns drawing on- even the parents.
Can you see the 2013?
We had a great time- thanks Jones' family for coming and hanging out!
Happy 2013 everyone!
