Visiting Teaching

So this week has been good. I don't have to work this weekend which is nice. Jace got his cast off  and he is so happy about that. He wont get to play any football or do any real physical activity for the next two to three weeks but he has had a great time helping the coach and his teammates. He has made a lot of new friends, one is spending the night tonight.

Eoghan is loving school and is learning so much so fast. Today was popcorn day at his school and he loved that and said it was a lot of fun.

Devyn and I are really enjoying our mommy/daughter time together. I thought we were close before but if anything she is becoming more of a mommy's girl having me to herself everyday for 8 hrs. :)

Today my visiting teacher partner and I went out to see the ladies assigned to us and it is the first time either of us has done this. It went great and we had a really good time getting to know them. It was also the first time for Emily and I  really got to know each other and I have to say I'm very lucky b/c she is great and so are the ladies we teach.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow b/c I'm going to a dinner at my church for Relief Society and then watching the Relief Society broadcast, always a good time, yummy food, great people and the broadcast is always wonderful.

Well that is about it in the lives of the Holloway's this week. :)

So Fresh and So Clean Clean

So I have been super slaking in the blogging department. Not sure if it matters b/c I really don't know if anyone actually reads my blogs. :)

Friday was my 29th birthday and it was pretty good, spent if with some really nice people.

Saturday I seriously laid around in my jammies, it was nice.

Sunday I worked my butt off cleaning a four bedroom unit but it looked great afterwards and the people who moved in really like it.

Today was good, I'm officially hooked on Criminal Minds.

I think snuggling into warm, fresh clean sheets is probably the best thing ever.


Photo of the day: The beautiful Princess Devyn and her loyal sidekick Marlee. :)

Two For One

So, I got way too caught up in a book last night and forgot to blog. I'm trying to blog every night just to keep a sort of journal. So tonight will be about yesterday and today. :)

Eoghan is so funny, he is always saying the most random things. Yesterday we went shopping after I picked him up from school and we are at Super Wal-Mart and walking by the beef and he says, "Wow, look at all the steaks." Then we come across these two super huge steaks and he loudly says, "Whoa..mom, dinosaur meat." Everyone around us really got a kick out of that.

Tonight for dinner I made steak and I'm in the kitchen making everyone's plates and I hear Jace and Eoghan talking.

Jace: "So, what's for dinner?"
Eoghan: "Dinosaur meat and man it smells real good." :)





Ugh..Friday is my 29th birthday,(gag) not very excited to be on the wrong side of my 20's.
I am getting to do something really special for my birthday that I'm super excited about so that is a plus.

Pop to the Tart

So after seeing Peanut butter Pop Tarts on the shelf for a while I finally decided to buy some and HELLO, they are so good. Seriously, Pop Tart has come up with some "unique" new flavors but this  one is by far the best but I'm kinda biased b/c I pretty much love anything peanut butter.

So yeah buying Peanut butter Pop Tarts was the high light of my day. :)
