COLDDDDDD!

Ok I know this probably is not very cold for some of you, but it is 25 degrees here and the weather channel says it feels like 14!!! Yeah, we haven't had that kind of weather here YET this year. The wind is awful it pierces you right to the skin!

Here are some pics of last nights bedtime fun...I am starting to enjoy the bedtime routine a little more these days. I used to put them to bed and be STRESSED out, due to them not listening. But these days they are very well behaved at that time! (thank you Lord for the answer to prayer!)
(just so you know, Arianna does not have any lipstick on! can we say chapped?!)

I was on the phone with My sister Khrista today and I went in to check on the kids, and I found this really cool City for all his big trucks! I guess Arianna must have helped some. So Khrista told me I had to get pics of it....here they are!

And here are all the boys just chillin' They always have to have their shirts off, it is funny I think they think it makes them more matcho!

I should have gotten this back massager for Arianna, she uses it ALL the time! I don't think Matt has used it but a couple of times!

NINE years!! AHHHHHHH (feels like twenty!) J/K

Today was Matt and I's Nine year anniversary. Here is what Matt got me!!!
It is a real live BLACK WIDOW!! he knows I love facinating bugs, but I was a little affraid when he brought it into the house in a pickle jar!!
We soon after this picture killed it with spray, and I am going to add it to my bug collection....oh yeah that was one wierd thing I did not put on the five things about me!

But no, Matt is not that silly, he did get me an anniversary ring!

As you will be able to tell in these next few pics, I have gaind a ton of weight in the last year so my old wedding set does not fot me anymore, and they are the really cheap ones we got when we first married, so they are not in great shape! I really needed a new one!

I also got Matt a new one, but this was like his third in nine years!

Yeah, I got the double chin going on now!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

But Mattt still looks great I think! (he said he thinks he looks like he is fourty!)

We had the camera out already, so we decided to take a few pics of the kids........

Oh and we can't forget Thorney worney! (His face is always funny looking!)

I'm tagging my friend Heather

Interesting info....

Bonnie asked me how my business was doing, so I wanted to share with you some interesting things I have learned since starting. I am attatching some pics to show you what I am talking about :-)

We inhale about 1 liter of air with every breathe we take, and along with 70,000 particles (most of which we cannot see) The period on the end of a sentence is 650 microns in diameter, you can visibly see with good eyesight down to 30 microns. All the bad stuff in the air like bacteria, mold, pollen ect. is less than one micron! A smoke particle is 1/100th of a micron . and if I released a smoke particle from 8 ft, it would come crashing down 408 days later!! (I thought that was CRAZY!) That means all of these things are in our breathing space!

We take a breath 15-16 times each minutes, so we are inhaling a BUNCH of junk all the time!

Of course this is the line we use alot.....If you don't have an efficient air purification unit, you and your family ARE the purifiers!

So what our air units do is make the particles stick together, get bigger and fall out of the indoor air 250 times faster, kind of like snow flakes float, and snowballs crash.

It does this 60 Feet in all directions.

And here is where my pics come in......see all that stuff out of my air?! YUCK, by the way I dust this thing ALL the time. (3hours ago to be exact)

This is all the stuff falling out of my breathing space though, so I don't mind dusting all the time!

But even cooler is that it has oxidizers that go out into our spaces and produce Hydroperoxides which are attracted to viruses mold and bacteria, on all surfaces, from the toilet handle to the kitchen counter, which go out like little yellow packmen and revert them back to water vapor and oxygen...all over the house! And do this 24 hours a day. Basically they kill Mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses.

Another interesting thing which you all probably know is that if you had a cold or flu, wiped your nose, and touched the door handle, that virus would stay there and be viable for 48 hours.....transferring it to whoever touched that surface!

I feel so good now knowing that this little machine is on my side, and we will not all be transferring our sicknesses to eachother ALL the time......no wonder it was like dominoes falling when one of us would get sick!

Sorry that this was so long, I just wanted to let you all know a little bit about what I am doing.

Oh yah, We also do the same thing for the water in the house (with water purification) which is great for us because we have AWFUL water here....floaties and things, eew!

So there is a run down on what I do. Hope somebody learned something new :-)

Here is a picture of the unit:

Pretty huh?

Fun Week

Arianna aparently wanted her nails painted, so she took black marker to them! I couldn't get mad, she figured out how to do it on her own, gotta give it to her for being creative!

But of course it could'nt stop there,,,it had to become pants too! ahhh do you know how long it takes to get that stuff off of skin?!


Yesterday was a rainy day, so we had a picnic inthe living room, which the kids thought was totaly cool becuase food is not alowed in the living room! We watched "Snow Dogs" also.

Tonight Daddy came home with some surprises for everyone, we all liked them, it is not on here but he got me a really nice cd case for my business cd's.

Nana took Arianna to her house today and had a "pampering" girl day. She didi her fingernails, and they are sooo cute. Her tonails match.

Arianna in her makeup, and nails :-)

Daddy knows him so well!

One of nates favorite things!

What does that thing do??

I came home the other night from a customers house, and this is what I saw....it was only 7:00!

I got a new desk and set up my office in the dining room, much more space to work!

My friend Heather and her husband came over this weekend, and brought the "babies" they all loved her at this moment! on the SMALLEST couch in the whole house!

Our favorite place to crash

It Snowed!

By the fire after the snow.
