Vacations...this is the time of year when most of us go on vacations. Show us and/or tell us about your favorite vacation - where you went, what you did, etc. Pictures would be great. Let's all take a trip around a the world via our FM friends!!

We have been a couple of places for vacation. We usually (for the 4th of July) go to my grandmothers house in South Carolina. I couldn't find any pictures from there.

This is when we went to Nauvoo, Illinois

This is the family standing in front of a statue of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.This is us in front of a replica of the Nauvoo temple

This is Molly making a candle

This is Ella making a rope

This is a really big castle-like house that we really liked.

That was Nauvoo, this is when we went to Atlanta, Georgia.

This was actually on an Indian mound on our way back from Atlanta. This is on top of them.

This was climbing up to the top of the mounds.

This was the view from one of the mounds to another.

This was at the Atlanta museum, we were dressing up.

This was a fossil of a dinosaur

This is in the Atlanta aquarium.

We have also gone to Illinois, to visit our cousins, Disney World, and New York City.

We all have them...and if you don't, you do....you just may not realize it. For some reason or another we all collect something and we collect it for reasons that will definitely make for good reading. So on Monday, I want to see your collection. If you don't have or don't want or CAN'T (wink) show us a picture, then tell us what the collection is in 10 words or less. Then tell us why you started collecting it.Some people have signed up already even before knowing the challenge...brave souls!!! I invite ALL of you to join...let's all make Monday a FUN Monday!!!

Fun Monday!!!

This week sounds like it might be fun! Robin is hosting this week, and here is what she says...

please share words that inspire and motivate you--brief or bloviatory, silly or serious, from great world leaders to last night's Comedy Central...from a Hallmark greeting card to your favorite book. Choose one, choose many; let the quotes stand on their own or tell where you first read or heard them and how they affected you. There's a lot of leeway with how this topic can be handled.

Here is my quote

"In three words I can tell you everything that I have learned about life - It goes on."

- Robert Frost

Now that goes deep!

Fun Monday

Can you see where it says Fun Monday?

Anyway Swampwitch is hosting this week and here is what she says...

Choose a topic/theme and make an alphabetical list of words, phrases, photos...however you want to share your topic/theme.

Topics can range from pet-peeves, vacations, people who have influenced your life, jokes, favorites, philosopher's quotes/sayings, birds, flowers...anything. The sky is the limit. Your ABC list can be depicted with words, photos, illustrations... You are limited only by your imagination. Be funny. Be serious. Be creative. Be sarcastic. Be there, or be square.

And, yes, of course you may bend the rules. Just entertain us. If you can't do all TWENTY-SIX, do as many as you can. (If you have kiddos, let them join the fun and help with the list. Make it a family, brainstorming session

Okay here are my random ABC's


Amazing
Beautiful
Creative
Dangerous
Evil
Feisty
Grumpy
Happy
Interrogating
Junk
Kind
Lovely
Moving
Nauseating
Organic
Pretty in Pink

For those of you that have a hard time finding some words to use, I found this website that might give you a hand.

the i.t. guy is hosting this week and this is the assignment this week....

I need YOU (yes, the wonderful YOU!) to pick 5 memorable lines from 5 different movies (if you could tell us which character said it and to whom, would be a bonus)...and tell us to WHOM (who in the people in your life) you could have said those lines.

Here are my 5..


"But my lips hurt real bad!"
Napolean Dynamite

"As you wish"
The Princes Bride

"Don't Worry, everything will be alright!"
I don't know what this is from, but I hear it all the time and I know that it has been on some movies.

"Just make yourself a dang quessa dilla!"
Napolean Dynamite (I don't think that I spelled that right, but who cares?)

"If I'm not out soon, that means something bad has probably happened"
Nancy Drew

"May the force be with you"
Star Wars

Fun Monday

Well it is Fun Monday again!! http://mariposatells.blogspot.com/ is hosting it this week and the assignment is...

I'll only be asking TWO things -

(1) Please share to us how the NAME of your BLOG was made? I can't wait to hear interesting funny stories!

(2) Please share to us (in words or photo, though a combination of both will be a bonus!) your favorite/ most common dish!

The part of Fun Monday where I tell why I named my blog this and why...

How many of you would like to live here?

How about here? I would rather not, so I redid a room in our basement (that is were the basement part of the name comes in- the next post are where the pink comes in)This is where pink meets the basement.
This is my messy-organized room, it is pink!!
This is my awesome bed- my dad built it for me- it swings!! I got this for V-day. I like it because it is pink.




The recipe part of Fun Monday
( I got this off of my moms other blog www.shecooksforthefamily.blogspot.com)

Okay, so this is like the best cake ever!! It makes a perfect after school snack. This also make a perfect cake to take to a party or, like us, a treat to make on a Sunday afternoon. We loooooove this, even Harrison likes it!! So how you make it is..........

1 Yellow cake mix
1 stick of melted butter
1 egg
you mix all of these items together and then pat into the bottom of a greased 9 by 13 pan. This will serve as the bottom of the cake and taste very good.

1 8 ounce thing of cream cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick melted butter
1 pound powdered sugar
Beat the cream cheese till it is smooth, then add the eggs, vanilla, and butter. Mix well. Then you add the pound of powdered sugar and mix well again. Once you have done all of this, you need to spread it over the top of th cake batter that you have already put in the 9 by 13 pan. Then bake 40-50 min. the center should be a little gooey.

Fun Monday

Every day as I go to work, I see things around me that
make me laugh. Usually these are in the forms of signs. So take your camera with
you as you go about your business and take a picture of the things that make you
laugh along the way (but it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a sign).



That is the assignment this week. I don't have a picture, but I thought that this was funny. On one of the highways there is a billboard that says
"alcoholism, there is hope ahead"
Then the very next billboard( you can see it from the first billboard) says
" Vine Creek (is that the name?) Winery, next left"
I thought that that was kinda funny b/c they meant the first one to be for you to stop drinking, but then it made it look like they wanted you to continue drinking, I thought that it was pretty weird.
