Stuff for Sale!!!

I haven't posted here for a while because I've been focusing on my new obsession......Facebook Garage Sale-ing.....(is that even a word??)    I'm a member of a couple of different groups (The Payson List and The Payson Indoor Garage Sale) and after seeing all the different things people sell on there, I decided to give it a try.  So I grabbed my Zumba at home workout and put it up for sale....$20

And guess what??  It SOLD in a matter of minutes!!!  Oh boy!! I was HOOKED!!  So that began the scavenger hunt for stuff around the house.  I've made quite the profit over these last few days!!  Bryan's work has been slow these past couple of months so this has totally helped putting gas in the car and food in the fridge!!  It's amazing, when you really look around, how much stuff you have that you really DO NOT NEED!!  The one thing that makes me sick is that we cleaned out our basement and garage about 2 months ago and I didn't have it in me to do a garage sale so we sent it all to the DI!!  What was I thinking???!!!  Oh well,.....live and learn I guess!  :O)  I've sold over $100 worth of stuff so far and I'm not done!  My sister, Gina, called me to ask if I was selling all of my house!  (All of your FB friends can see when you post something on one of the groups...so they must be thinking I'm nuts!!)  But then she offered to bring me all of her stuff and have me sell it for a commission.....DEAL!!!    So the selling continues....We're going to be rich!! ;o) 

But I better get on the ball with running....I've taken a break for the last week.... The Mt. Nebo 1/2 Marathon is Sept.8th.....I'm ready but I can't slack off now!  I'll be going for a long run tonight when Bryan gets home!

Happy Running! :O)

Be careful what you wish for??

We've heard the saying, "Be careful what you wish for."  Well, I'd add, becareful what you pray for! ;o)  The other morning as I began my day with prayer, I quickly remembered my commitment to be more patient, especially with my children.  I know the Lord has a sense of humor so I knew that I would be tested..... but not so quickly!

After cleaning up breakfast and the whole kitchen....dishes, vacuuming, wiping down the counters, cleaning the sliding glass door, wiping down the front of the fridge (tons of finger prints!), etc.... I had gone to the laundry room for a minute and this is what I came back to........

Yes, my very busy toddler had pushed the stool to the pantry and quickly grabbed the bag of chips and dumped them upside down!  AHHHHH!!!  Anyone knowing my need for clean will understand the battle going on in me after seeing this!  BUT, I took a moment to gather myself, decided it wasn't the end of the world and thought I would eventually see humor in this.....so I took a picture, then proceeded to clean it up.  Looking back on it, I still can't laugh, but I can smile..... ;o) 
Just looking at that makes me want to run!.....AWAY!! ;o) 

Yesterday some of Bryan's family came in to town so we all got together for lunch at Terzi's Pizzaria.  Our Brother in Law (Bryan's sister's husband) opened up a new pizza place right next to Fat Cat's and Einstein Bagel's in Provo next to BYU.  I'm no pizza critic but their pizza is seriously the best ever!!  I highly recommend it to anyone!!  While we were there, my MIL wanted a family picture of us so we grabbed the camera's and snapped quickly......Reid isn't one to sit still!  This is the only one that was taken where he's sitting still and smiling!  SUCCESS!!! 

This is an example of all the other photos:

Funny kid!! 

Happy Running!!

Ahhhh! It's that time of year again!!

"....and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!"  Yep!  It's beginning to look a lot like the beginning of the school year!  Today I registered the kids for school.  Jaxson has Miss Stephens for 4th grade and Sydney got Mrs. Penick for 2nd.  Jaxson had Penick for 1st grade so we already know her.  I've heard great things about Miss Stephens, so this will be great!  They are so excited about their fun "treasures" they found at our visit to the DI!  We couldn't believe what great things we found!  They each got messenger bags in great condition for $2 each!!  Sydney's is from a popular girls store called Justice!  We found some cute dresses, and pants for her and Jaxson got some cool Children's Place pants!  Talk about scoring on the deals!!  We will definitely be going back soon!  I also found some cute stuff....couple of pants and a jacket!  The phrase, "one person's junk is another person's treasure" couldn't have been more true at that moment!  ;o)  Talk about awesome sauce!!
