Picture this

OK since I am the only one at my house. I am asking that you use your imaginations today with this post.

Today as I was laying by Jesse trying to get him to sleep. I put his arms around me and says snuggle mommy. So I go to wrap my arms around him and he says no mom I snuggle you. So here I am laying on his bed with my head on his chest with both his arms around my neck holding me so tight. Oh how I wish I could have had a video camera to capture this. To me it is to precious. Every time I tried to put my arm around him and snuggle to him he would get mad and say no mom I snuggle you.

OK let me just add to this. I have been having a really bad day. Just one of those days where I cry over the stupid things. But the big things I just look at and go whatever. I know I tell you my emotions are way screwed up right know. Anyway isn't it funny how when we need it most the little 2 year old in my life gives me the biggest boost. "I snuggle you mommy." Just some simple little words. I am sure he thought he was playing but oh how it can change your life.

I love my little Jesse so much. I am trying to remember he is my last and document all these little miracles that come into my life so simple but yet so huge right then.

So I hope I painted this picture well enough for you. Like I said I wish I had a video camera set up so you all could see how cute and innocent he is.

HSM Baby!!!!!!!

Tracy and Reagan Thumbs up all the way.

Me and James Yeah baby.

James such a good sport all these girls, what's a boy to do??

Jesse and Reagan. We have our popcorn and drinks what else do we need?

Kelty, Makell and Krista. So excited to be at HSM 3.

Okay so I am the lame one and didn't even realize that it was HSM 3 this weekend. Thankfully I have friends who keep me in line.

Earlier this week my best friend from Roosevelt called and said "Its HSM 3 this weekend I will come out lets take the girls and go." Okay sounds like a plan. Don't get me wrong I liked the other ones I had heard it was coming on the big screen I thought I would take my kids just hadn't paid attention to when it was coming.

So Tracy came out I got tickets and away we went.

I loved it!!!! Once you get passed the sappy cheesey part. It is a really good show. I am not ashamed to admit it but I cried during it. I know my emotions are crazy lately. I don't cry at movies when the whole audience is crying but I cry at HSM go figure!!!!

It was a really good show it was so much fun the kids had a blast. James was a little bummed that his friend Easton didn't come but he got over it.

My plug for HSM. Go and see it. It kinda reminded me a little bit of footloose so I think if you liked footloose you will like it.

Did I say I was done?????????

So I looked out my window and what did I see? My neighbor making applesauce. Well you may ask how that applies to me? Well I will tell you. So I went over to talk to her. Long story short. I ended up spending my morning over their helping her. Well heavens if she can make applesauce then I can right?

Side note here. My Grandma Whiting always had apple trees and always made applesauce for us. This especially came in useful when I had babies. Never had to by the store bought kind cause she always had some for me.

Well me being me(some of you say nay I laugh). Never really had a desire to learn how to make it. I figure I tried to learn everything else that she had to teach me. So I never learned how to make her famous applesauce. Okay back to the original story.

So after I helped my neighbor this morning I called my mom.

ME: Are their any more apples on grandmas trees?

MOM: No Ila and I picked them all. Ila is making applesauce today and we gave the bad ones to the sheep.

ME: Do you think uncle Morrie has any left?

MOM: I am sure call him.

So what do I do. I call my uncle Morrie. He says I can have whatever is in the orchard. (did we read the other posts about my grandpa and the orchard).

So I proceed to call my mom back. Somehow talk her into going to pick apples with me. We pick them and I go to her house to pick up a pan. Go down to her storage room and see the amazing apple pie filling that she makes. Somehow I get it into my head that I need to do apple pie filling to. So I manage to talk my mom into helping me tomorrow to not only do applesauce but also pie filling. Some how I wonder why I do this to myself.. Then I see the finished project and think wow I did that. So my mom called and said lets do the pie filling tonight its not hard. So that is what we do tonight.

I have to give a big shout out to Grandma Na and Papa Ray. (gene's grandparents.) I called to see if they have a juicer thingy thing that separates the bad from the good stuff. Well not only do they have that but they have think apple peeler slicer thing. It was freaking awesome Love it.

So instead of the original 7 quarts of Pie filling I was doing tonight I ended up doing 14 quarts. Then we are doing applesauce tomorrow.

Moral to my story. I am going to stop looking out my window it only gets me in trouble.

This is my mom and I bottling the Pie filling. She really must love me cause when I get these crazy ideas in my head somehow I always rope her into helping me. True motherly love their.

Finally

Okay after a long 6 weeks I finally got my new ring. I love it!!!! At the same time I am sad. It is not the same one that Gene and I in our love sick/poor getting married phase. I just went and picked this one out by myself. It was fine. I am just sad that it is not the same one. So mixed emotions for me today. I mean really girls out thier. Who wouldn't want a new diamond ring. But at the same time have your orginal one you where married with.
