Salsa anyone....

She thinks she is so funny....

Drinking the salsa....yummy!

This chick is crazy...I have never met a kid who loves salsa "dip" as she calls it more than Sadie. I had given the kids a bowl of salsa and chips for a snack and I came into the kitchen to find Sadie on top of the table drinking the salsa....You are one crazy girl.

Service project

Getting ready for dodgeball

Is it just me or are there way to many days off and half days...hee hee :-)

Yesterday was half day and we had a blast. Riley had friends over and they played dodge ball, had a water fight and played basketball. Both girls had a few friends over too. They passed out flyers for our treasures 4 teachers and played games and did tumbling. It was fun just to have a day to hang out with the kids but WOW I more tired than when I work all day. Glad I have the opportunity to be home with my kids and I love to watch Sadie try to get in the mix of all the older kids friends, she is much cooler than most normal 2-year-olds!

Treasures 4 Teachers

The Bond family is doing a school/teaching supplies drive for teachers in need for Treasures 4 Teachers organization in Tempe. We will be collecting school supplies and/or teaching supplies of any kind (glue sticks, pencils, crayons, markers, dry erase markers, red pens, etc.) to be distributed to teachers in need in Arizona. Anything is greatly appreciated! We will be collecting the donations in a basket near our front door from now until Sunday February 21. If you are unable to get to the store we are also taking donations and will purchase the supplies for you. Remember even $1 can purchase some greatly needed products for some teachers in need. The community is providing these boxes to show support to teachers that would not otherwise have classroom supplies to teach with.

Thanks for your support, Love the Bond Family

A friend in my ward is a great photographer and took these pics at church. She is so amazing...I can't wait to have her take our family photos this year. Her website is amyfraughtonphotography.com

President's Day

Nice signs...

This is the future of banking right here...he has $2.25 already

Paige K and Paige B...with arms folding waiting for me to go home :-(

I love goverment holidays...because literally there is no work (typing) so I don't have to get up early, constantly be thinking how I can fit an hour or two of work in and still hang out with my kids....I just get to chill all day long so fun! Today we had our cousins sleep over last night, the girls got the Areobed out and slept in the living room and stayed up to 12 or at least that is when I gave up :-). We got up and had breakfast and cleaned up a bit and then rode bikes to Subway and to the park and played for a while....Sadie was wiped by the time we got home so she hit up a nap, which I could have done but decided to update 3 months worth of my blog :-) and the other kids had a lemonade (2 liter soda) stand. In between blog postings I came out of my office to check on things...my kitchen looked like a bomb hit from making signs, and when I walked down to the corner they had 4-12 packs of soda in addition to the 3-2 liters I said they could use. Crazy kids. Riley said they were not having any luck...he thinks its the economy and Paige thinks that her mom checking up on her is scaring away all of the business and that I should go home quick! Real funny...I think I will get a chair and camp out down there.

My pantry is cleaned out from having kids over all day but its so worth it and they are having fun.

Camera thief

She took this herself...might be a little close
