Hats
We have another GG. My Great Grandma used to have a hat rack full of misc. hats from sylish baseball caps to cowboy hats. I always had a fasination with Grandma's hats and now I'm begining to wonder if it's in the gene's...
Fourth of July
I know the Fourth of July was nearly four weeks ago, and you may be wondering why in the heck I'm posting pictures now. Well I'm a slacker... lol but I figured ya'll would still like to see the pics.
We tried to get a family picture with all of us, but Kambri kind of got cut out.
It was Kesi's first Fourth of July, so I brought her with not wanting to leave her at home with all the new scary noises. Me and my girl, I love her soo much!
We went and sat out by a peir watching the fireworks set off from the River.
I know this is a horrible pick, but you can kind of see how beautiful it was.
My little Kambri in her Stars and Stripes Outfit.
My hubby becoming impatient, wanting the fireworks to start.
The little light globe thing that Nikholi is holding in his hands has not yet ceased to amaze him. Roger and I purchased one for him when he was only 8 months and he loved the dang thing; they were $15 then.. Until he broke it and we frantically searched for another one. Grandma Judi luckily saved the day sending him another one. Then of course that one broke. And now they sell these things at WalMart for $4.00! Kambri also has one and loves it, she actually learned how to push the button on it for it to work at eight months.. Where it took Nikholi forever to figure out, always causing me to have to tape the button down for him.
I love this picture of Kesi, I think it's a great profile pic of her.
It's soo cute, Kambri has this new thing where she will walk around with the phone attached to her ear.. It's so cute, I wonder where she got it from?
We waited a good hour and a half before the fireworks finally did start, but we had a pretty nice little set up. And the quilt that is layed out on the grass that everyone pyled on.. I made it! :) It's actually mine and Rogers old jeans and two of the pockets are still in tact so we can stick stuff in there. I have to say that this quilt is one of the families' favorite.
The fireworks finally began...
And I'm glad I brought Kesi, she jumped frantically into my lap (all 65 pounds of her)!
Kambri was a little unsure what to think at first...
But before we new it she was pointing saying, "See IT?"
Roger and I really enjoyed the loud Booms, but Nikholi, not so much:
I hope everyone had a Happy Independence Day!
Thank a veteran for supporting your Freedom, I know I did.

Rattled Button
I haven't blogged in a while because I've just recently become insainly busy. I'm going to have to do multiple posts at a time in order to catch up on what I've been doing over the past month.. But something that motivated me to blog is a situation that Rattled My Button!
I received a phone call this morning at 8:19am that disturbed my blissful dream! It was a solicitor asking for an Arabic name (don't even ask me to pronounce it). I told them that they have the wrong number, but they continued to sell me their product anyways. I asked them to take me off their calling list and hung up the phone.
So at this point, I'm up. I get dressed, get the kids breakfast and talk to my next door neighbor/BF, Kelley, and they call again! This time it's 9:21am. They ask for the same Arabic name and I told them no one by that name lives here and I get the same spill about some promotion. Again, "Please take me off your calling list." and Hung up the Phone.
Then I sat down to review some homework and completed some participation points, when I received yet ANOTHER call from them.. By the way, it had been barely thirty minutes, receiving the phone call at 9:47am. This time when I picked up the phone saying hello.. no one responded and the other end of the line sounded blank.
Pretty irritated at this point I call the number back (973) 813-7735 and I get this automated voice system. Press one to speak with a customer service representative; press two to place your number on our do not call list. With out hesitation I quickly push the number and hang up the phone.
I'm preparing my papers and gathering information that I need to address at our Presidency Meeting *I was called to be the Second Counselor of the Relief Society, but I'll explain all that in another post* and at 10:31am I receive ANOTHER phone call. I answer the phone extremely peeved... HELLO... HELLO....HELLO....HELLO???? Again, no one was responding and the other end was blank.
Still furious, I call the number back yet again (973) 813-7735. Press one to speak with a customer service representative; press two to place your number on our do not call list; press three to end this call. At this point, I want to talk to a dang CSR, I want my problem solved! "All Agents are busy at the moment, please hang up and try your call again later!" GRRRRR
11:02am, running late for my Presidency Meeting, chaning Kambri's diaper, they call again. This time someone actually answered and started their pitch without hesitation and without asking for the person with the Arabic name! I said, "Before you go any further, I need to speak with your manager!" She said, "What ever for?" I told her about the numerous phone calls and then she finally agreed, "please hold." As she returned to the line, "he's on the phone with another customer, I can put you on our do not call list." I said, "No, I'll wait for the manager." She seemed stumped. He finally answered the phone and asked me what the problem was. I was very upfront and borderline rude, but I said, "I understand how call centers work, and that my number may be dailed by a computer automated system, but I have been called at 8:19am, 9:21am, 9:47am, 10:31am, and 11:02am, if I receive another call from your company I will be filing harrassment charges. This is absolutely rediculous!" He said I will be sure to put you on our do not call list. I asked him please do, that's all I've been asking for all morning!
So needless to say, luckily, I have not received another phone call from them. I was a solicitor before a Dial America and it's not an easy job, especially when you are paid on commission. Leaving me to have some compassion and understanding for the sales persons work, but 5 times in less than a three hour time frame, that's a little excessive don't you think?
