The Bomb dot Com

Just baking some bread.

This past Wednesday was Stake Temple Day. Ryan took the day off to help with sealings at 9:30 and then baptisms at 11. When he came home, I went to the 1pm Endowment session. I returned home to a clean kitchen and bread baking in the oven. (I love this man. Not just because he cleans and bakes bread, but because he is so so helpful. He recognizes my needs even before they’re voiced.) We returned to the Temple that evening at 6 together. I love it when we can go together.

Two days later, Friday evening, was our turn to babysit. Ryan was willing let me go help my friend for several hours while he held down the fort.

Saturday,  he took the kids up in the mountains while I coached YW volleyball and crafted with friends. We had a couple hours in the afternoon together before I went to watch the Relief Society Broadcast.

Not one complaint from my husband the entire weekend. I am blessed.

Today after church, Olivia asked to bake some more bread with Ryan. Without missing a beat, he donned an apron and got to work. While the bread was rising, he and I went for a walk. We walk around the neighborhood and up around the Temple. I love my time with him.

I’m not a fan to get all mushy about my husband on our blog, but he is so incredible. Certainly the Bomb.com.

Dear Friends

Alright Friends,

You know when you find something that you become so passionate about that you try to tell everyone you know about it? Yeah, here it comes - again! :)

I'm only mentioning this because I don't want you to miss out on the best deal yet.
If any of you have even been a teensy-bit curious about Energy Profiling or Dressing Your Truth - now is the time! (don't worry, I was totally skeptical at first.)
Even if you don't have a clue as to what your type you are, when you buy the course, you go through all the information, THEN decide.
If that isn't enough, you get the book with very detailed information about each type and best yet, the Style guide - your tint or hue to the colors that will look amazing on you.
I thought I could do it on my own, even searching online trying to catch glimpses of the colors that would suit me best, but that was just a ton of work.
(I also think you'd be surprised that often colors that you love are your Type. Even in decorating.)

I love the way I feel, and not to sound too vain, but I love the way I look; true to my nature. :)

The course for is on sale for $99 - and you get a $20 gift card to their online store.
Also, another $10 when you make your first purchase.

Check it out here.

Have questions, ask me.
Email me.
The offer ends this Sunday, the 30th.

Even if you don't want to buy the course, I love talking about the profiling.
I've been trying hard not to bombard my blog with all this info, but hopefully you can tell how much I love it. 
Maybe it's my sociology degree talking, but I find it very fascinating learning how people work and how they interact with each other.
And, maybe some day I'll talk about my own self discoveries. It's been pretty neat.

So check it out and let me know what you think. :)


And I'm hoping to get back to regular blogging soon. ;)

Four!

003
Opening presents, first thing in the morning.

Miss Olivia turned four yesterday – can you believe it? I feel like she should still be two.
Poor girl had some tummy issues (lactose intolerance?) most of the day yesterday, but thankfully, was feeling better that evening – enough for two pieces of her birthday cake!

We sure love our spunky, sassy, feisty, go-getting girl!
Happy Birthday, Olivia!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Do you remember the Staples commercial where the Mom is prancing around the store with her cart dancing to Andy William’s Christmas song? Then you see the two children walking slowly behind her with their shoulders totally stooped. This year I understand that commercial a little better. It must be all the fighting that has been going on lately, but I’m very ready for my kids to be back in school – I think they are, too!

Miss Rylee was up bright and early ready for her first (and full) day of middle school.

There were some others up, too!

And, we couldn’t forget to take our first day of school picture on the porch.

Happy to chill with these little ones.

I must admit that I am thrilled to not have a mid-day pick up this year– the first time in 7 years!!

An Afternoon with the Broncos

Broncos - Ryan & Henry

For the first time, we headed downtown to watch the Summer Scrimmage of the Denver Broncos.

We fought traffic and we fought the crowds. We sat as close as I’m sure we’ll ever sit there at the Stadium and watched the Broncos stretch, toss the ball, and then scrimmage. It was pretty neat. Although it was pretty hot, we had a great time hanging out with our friends and cheering the city’s beloved football team. (You really don’t want to mess with Bronco fans!)

I don’t claim to be a huge football fan, I prefer college football over the NFL, but I do know a few of the names. Like these two:

#18 Peyton Manning  and retired Bronco, Ed McCaffrey - the one in the blue shirt centered below his name.

After the scrimmage the cheerleaders did their thing, then the Denver Thunderstorm came parachuting out of the plane. I’m glad the announcer warned us that they’d be entering the stadium at about 50-60 miles an hour because it looked like they were going to land right on us! Crazy fast. By the time I got a decent picture of one of them, they were almost on the ground.

You can barely see the parachute.

After Thunderstorm, everyone raced down for autographs. The kids loved it. We weren’t sure how many of them would actually get any, but they did just fine.

Clay’s Montana Adventure

Clay was invited by his best bud, Jakob, (and his dad) to head up to Big Sky Montana for a family reunion. He loved it. It was a tad quieter around here, but I was constantly reminded by Olivia that Clay was in Hannah Montana.

Thanks to Jeff for sending pics home along the way.

I’m not sure it gets much more Beautiful that Montana – but Colorado is right up there!

Clay lives for this kind of fun. He and Jakob have already made plans to have their own cabin and ATVs in MT someday.

Fun in Cody, WY

Yee-haw

You can’t pass up a Rodeo!

A fun stop on the drive home – they pulled this for 3 miles!

A wonderful week for Clay. Thanks, Jeff and Jakob!
