The WiLD WHitTs

I thought that this might be fun to play. All you have to do is make a list of ten of your favorite things. But there is a little catch. Everything on the list has to start with a specific letter of the Alphabet. That letter is randomly assigned by the blogger who you are playing with! I was assigned the letter 'D' by my sister Melissa at rowdyrobertsons.blogspot.com

So in true 'D'ave Letterman format, here goes the letter D!

10. DOUGH. You can't beat dough. I love all types, especially my Dad's and Adrianne's bread dough. I'm the official dough tester. If you've got choc. chip cookie dough, sugar cookie dough, snickerdoodle dough, or plain old pie dough, then bring it on.

09. DOLLARS. Most of you probably thought this would be higher on my list. Of course, I need money. Dollars are awesome for groceries, new houses, car payments, Wal-Mart toys, dates, and movies. And as much as I need and use dollars, I'd live in a cardboard box and dine at the soup kitchen as long as it was with my three boys :)

08. DEER HUNT. Who doesn't love the cold mornings with the sound of the fire crackling as you play games with family and wait for the mighty hunters to return. It gets even better when you bring caramel corn, homemade Oreos, and a fiesty game of Farkle.

07. DER STUKA. I know. You're all asking what in the heck is Der Stuka. Well, it's just the wickidest ride ever at Wet 'N Wild. My dad convinced me to go once, and that's all it took to get hooked. You sit down, cross your arms over your chest, try to breathe, and in a matter of seconds get the biggest wedgie of your life. I just can't resisit...he, he, he

06. DIAMONDS. What girl doesn't love diamonds? Okay, I really love anything that sparkles.

05. DANCE. I'll admit it. I LOVE to dance. I dance in the kitchen, in the shower, and in the car. I love to dance with Dustin, my boys, or by myself. Dancing makes you feel good, especially when nobody's watching :)

04. DAD, DEANN, aDri, DAD IN-LAW. You get the picture. What would we do without our parents. They have that unconditional love that you can only understand after you become a parent yourself.

03. DAYS....and no, not Days of Our Lives. Just days. Each and every new day that my Heavenly Father allows me to live and enjoy.

02. DNA. It's the best word to describe my boys, Jase & Jaxon. They are part of me. They are the reason I breathe. They are my answered prayer, and there is not a day that goes by without a prayer of gratitude for my little miracles.

01. DUSTIN. You guys all probably guessed my number one, but who wouldn't. He ROCKS!

It's been an awesome day. We've enjoyed a long-awaited visit with my sister Crystal, soaked in the awesome floats at the Storybook Parade, and had some delicious enchiladas with the wonderful White family. So I thought to myself, "Why not make this day even better with a homemade banana cream pie?" I made some crust from scratch, sprinkled it with sugar, and baked it perfectly. I whipped up some filling and cut two ripe bananas and placed it in the refrigerator.

And then another thought jumped into my head, " Why not make homemade whip cream? I can't ruin this pie with plain ol' cool whip!" I ran to the refrigerator and grabbed the whipping cream, added some vanilla, and rounded me up some powdered sugar for an even sweeter taste. My excitement must have jumped out of my hands because before I knew it, I had thrown the canister of powdered sugar toward the floor and all over Crystal White. You can take a look at the mess for yourself. For some reason when you are the thrower of the sugar, you don't get as messy as the catcher of the sugar. Sorry, Crystal! The pie did turn out divine, though :) Well, there I go again, looking at the bright side of things. It makes for a better, happier life....pass it on.

Well, I guess you can hate me if you want, but I'm going private. The deadline for all Wild Whitt blog follower requests is December 1, 2008. Don't be shy...you know you still want to read about the Lawn Ranger's woman. So leave your email, and I'll add you. Until next time, this is Lynette signing off!

THE PETER PAN FAMILY :)


CAPTAIN HOOK AND A LOST BOY


PETER PAN

On the way to school.

Just before school started.

Ready for some learning w/ Mrs. Mia :)

Yeah, the first day of school was a while ago, but better late than never. Jase was so excited for his first day at Creative Kids Pre School. His teacher, Mrs. Mia, is awesome. He goes two days a week for two hours and is always coming home with the cutest project. We've been working on his alphabet letters, so he wanted to write a letter to his counsins. In one of them, he told me to say..."I want to go to Preschool so bad, but it's not today. It's tomorrow when the sun is up." I'm thinking I better revel in him loving school because by junior high, he'll be trying to skip class :)

Everyone (and I mean everyone) needs to check out the James Gang @ www.jamesfarmgang.blogspot.com Jodi does awesome pictures, and she has posted a few of her favorites on their website. And if you don't need your pictures done, you can still check out this awesome family with some dang cute kids!

I'm gonna make sure my kids are next in line for a glamour shots day with Picture This Photography :)

Okay, so I've been caught by Officer Ludlow...and I mean Natalie Ludlow, blogger police chief. Yes, we're moved in to our beautiful home, and I do have Internet access. So, of course, I've been blog stalking. I would have been bloggin' on my own page, but I can't seem to find my camera cord in this jumbled mess of a move. There are good intentions on that camera like the first day of preschool, new house pictures, and a weekend getaway to Zion Ponderosa. I'm sure I'll find it soon enough, but for now you get an ever whitty, charming, picture-free blog from the Lawn Ranger's Woman. I know, kinda lame-o!

But I would feel really ungrateful today (sounds like testimony meeting) if I didn't shout it to the rooftops that I love my family, I love my gorgeous home, and I love my walk-in shower :) And one thing I know for sure, it all came from my Heavenly Father. You might laugh, but that walk-in shower is the pure love of God ;) Okay, so in all seriousness, I am one grateful woman ready to throw one grateful party. You're all invited!

I just couldn't help myself. I had to post another blog as I usually blog in threes :) Anyway, here's our little Jaybird. He spent the night with his cousin Blake and now insists that his name is Jase Ray Barnes, not Jase Dustin Whittaker. He's so excited for Pre-School as is his mother. He gets 2 hours of fun and learning, and I get 2 hours of mom time (provided Jaxon is having a nap)...hooray for school.
