Anyone that doesn't have anything better to do.....

Ya, I know you stopped reading when you saw the title, LOL! Anyway, I'm making progress with the classroom but still have some things to get done, anyone that is just looking for something to do on Saturday or Monday, I will be here in room 1 at Jewett and would love to have a little help, it might take me several minutes to figure out what I want you to do but I would be grateful for any help. I had a little meltdown today but I think it helped, I got re-focused and am on a roll now, well not really, I'm at work right now and I'm posting on the family blog, but I swear I'm getting to work after this! I have a beanbag to stuff, and little things to cut out that is taking away from me planning the first week of school which is something I REALLY need to get on right away. So I'm rambling now and I totally understand if you have better things to do, just thought I would send this out and see what happens. Even if you want to pop in and just visit with me that would be great, it gets lonely when all the other "organized" teachers leave and I'm here with my mess. Oh and if you come tomorrow I have a couple Relief Society posters I signed up to make for the Sept. 20th Enrichment night and after I signed up we realized they needed to be done by this Sunday :( So that is something else I'm stressing about so come on over if you want to color. Alright this is sounding really desperate. Enjoy your last weekend of summer, hopefully I'll see you all before Thanksgiving Break!

Painting update

So I just checked our schedule and they have us down to start painting 9/26 - 10/4. We've haven't had much going on with the house lately. They're trying to get everything finished up so we can have our electrical inspection. It's taking a little bit longer than we hoped :( I don't know if this will work for everyone so just let me know.

WE"RE BACK!

Hey yall! Amanda and Matt are back but only at dial up speed:-( but I guess thats better than no speed! It is amazingly slow so I guess you can work on other projects while waiting for everything to download! Our new email is mastone@earthlink.net. We also have a home phone 826-4002. So now we regularly check the blog and see what all is going on!

Kevin!!!

Kevin! I'm not even sure if you check the blog but I am SO sorry I didn't say Happy Birthday to you too! I'm having a hard time remembering your birthday is the same as Jan's but no excuses I hope you had a great day and don't hate me for too long, ok? Hope to see you guys this weekend!

Seattle Trip

Just thought we would show you some fun pics from our trip!

We always call Ella our little bug and now she is one! The other two just bug us! HA HA!!

Check out Addy's happy face. She hadn't eaten for 2 days and she had an ear infection. She really wanted to stay at the zoo.

Man, Addy will kiss anything!
The game was the best part of the trip!!
Now the girls know how Ella feels at the dinner table!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jan!

Hope you are having a great day, I'm thinking you're working but maybe not. Ideas for gifts?

Sorry our paint party took your birthday weekend :( It's not surprising though was it? LOL Have a great day!

Love,
Ron, Jill, and Bayley

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone that helped on Saturday, it was a huge job and you all made it so much easier! I also know it was short notice and I'm sure you had better things to do on a Saturday evening so I really appreciate everyone coming out. Just know we owe all of you so feel free to call us when you need help with anything! Thanks again!

Funny!

In celebration of Barbie’s 40th birthday, Mattel has created a series of Mormon Barbies for those folks in Utah. The most popular model, Celestial Barbie, comes with 8.4 children. She wears a mid-calf flower print Laura Ashley dress with conservative flats (no heels), a bow in her flowing, shoulder-length hair with puffy bangs. Barbie wears a permanent smile, knows how to bake bread, store wheat, feed a family of 12 on less than $200 a week, make casseroles and Jell-O salads, and still finds time to read her scriptures. She comes with an MAV Dodge/Ford/Nissan/whatever mini-van (otherwise known as a Mormon Assault Vehicle).
When you pull the cord in her back, she becomes emotional, teary, and says things like, “You have such a special spirit, Sister Jones” or “Love ya.” Occasionally you can find one that says “Oh my heck!” but be warned: this is a manufacturer’s defect. Celestial Barbie would never say “heck” because it’s a swear word!
You can buy a Celestial Ken to go with Celestial Barbie, but he’s hard to find. (Probably because he’s off fulfilling some priesthood leadership calling, so he’s rarely home.)
Other Special LDS Barbies include:
RM Barbie: comes with BYU or BYU-I sweatshirt and mini computer.
HFPE Leader Barbie: comes with all necessary baking equipment.
Primary President Barbie: not very popular, this one has no hair.
RS Presidency Barbie: sold in a unique set, these Barbie’s come complete with their own agenda!
YW Leader Barbie: comes dressed for camp with all necessary equipment.
YW Skippers: Laurels, Mia Maids, and Beehives, all cute as buttons, dressed in flannel nighties for the sleepover.
Nursery Leader Barbie: be careful! On Sunday after church, all this one wants to do is sleep.
Organist Barbie: has rimmed glasses, long fingers, and slippers.
Chorister Barbie: right arm permanently raised to a square.
Visiting Teacher Barbie: again, only sold in a set, but a true collector’s item as each set has its own recorded message!
Stake Leader Barbie: comes with a voluminous set of mini leadership manuals.
Salt Lake Leader Barbie: white hair in a hurricane do!

Painting

Hey everyone! I know it's short notice but we are going to be painting this weekend and anyone that could help out, even just for an hour or so, would be much appreciated. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to paint or not but they roofer and electrician got done today and we are clear to paint. If you can come and have brushes or rollers it would be great if you could bring them, thanks!
