Here it goes:

1. I love TV and dont enjoy reading books. They take too long to get to the point. i guess i dont like suspense. my favorite shows are "desperate housewives, Medium, the Bachelor, Lost, the office, ( i hate to say it, but i love these ) supernanny and wife swap.

I have been a chocolate fan for my whole life. and i have come to the realization that im totally addicted. a day is just not a day until i have kicked back with a square of dark chocolate. here are some of the chocolates that i have tried over a couple of months and i have finally realized which ones i love and which ones arent worth a dime. i hate to say it , but the Lindt dark chocolate is hideously disgusting!!! if you get it let me know if you like it, maybe i just got a bad batch-----but i warn you. its really sour and gross!!
The Moonstruck chocolate is a local company. their truffles are nothing to write home about , but their dark chocolate is pretty good. ( moonstruck is the red wrapper in the picture) Dagoba chocolate is just really gross. it is also very sour and has a gross bitter after taste. honestly, i dont know why this brand is popular. i also have tried the "green and blacks" brand. its good, but it has a bitter after taste. my two favorites are the Godiva Cocoiste (any kind), and the Sees premium dark. no bitter or sour after tastes. and the flavor is very superior. the chocolates with the after tastes are what gives dark chocolate a bad wrap. most people dont like dark. that is because they have never had decent chocolate. the Lindt was a complete disappointment. they are a swiss company, they make excellent milk chocolate, but its really full of fat, and cream. not good for people who want the taste of chocolate with out breaking their figures completely.BUt, if you have never tried the GOdiva chocoiste and you love chocolate, you NEED To try it. its amazing. it seems like a really pretentious brand , but its really premium.I have tried many many bars of chocolate. and this is what i think!! tell me what YOU think. i would love to try something new.

my kids love bugs!!!



Here is a picture of a baby bug ( box elder bug). they are actually kind of cute when they are babies.
my kids have spring fever, and i guess are going through a phase where they are totally obssesed with bugs!!

the prince and the pea

This picture is a souvenier for Ezra. ( i needed proof, but wanted to throw this gross thing away too!)

My Kids and i were innocently planting seeds in peat moss on tuesday.
there were peas, tomatoes, and Zucchini poured out the package of pea seeds and a couple of the peas fell on the floor.
i couldn't find them, but proceeded to plant all of them. forgetting about the previous days events i went on with my day on Wednesday. i had a hair appointment at noon, so i was carefully arranging and trying to get my responsibilities accomplished. I was kind of annoyed when Ezra would not stop whining about something. he kept coming up to me in a whiny voice saying , My nose mommy------like he could not articulate what he wanted to tell me. after the second time of complaining, he sounded a little more panicked. so i looked at his nose with concern. i could clearly see that there was something stuck up there. i didn't know what it was. i suspected it was a pea seed. because of how round it was. i asked him if it was food and he said yes "its food mommy, its food!!" so i tried getting it out with tweezers. it was too round. i tried medical clamp scissors too. it was pretty stuck. the tricky thing was is, that because it was a seed, it was getting larger, and absorbing liquid from his nose. so i tried a saline wash to try and wash it out. but it was stuck. he had enough air to breath just fine, so i felt good about that. One time, ruby had a Polly pocket shoe up her nose when she was this age, and she didn't have any room to breath. we were pretty panicked and wanted to take her to the ER. so anyway, to make a long story short---the happy ending is, that the pediatrician nurse told us to plug the nostril that was clear, and blow on his mouth ( like mouth to mouth) and it should push it out. "if it doesn't work, then you'll have to bring him in"......they said. so i tried it and after three blows it worked!!!! the pea came out. i was so excited and delighted. why doesn't someone make a handbook for weird incidences like this? it would save many trips to the doctor.

To all of the mothers in my life. MY mom ( Caralee) My Grandmothers ( Joann & Lucile) and my mother in law ( Elaine)
I love you, and thank heavenly father for your influence, and love.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

I got four wonderful gifts from my children and husband today.
Jason gave me a beautiful necklace with an initial from each of my children ( and then a ruby and pearl on the chain too)
Ruby gave me a cute little card with us holding hands. and she sang "you are my sunshine"--while i played guitar.
Ezra helped me make my bed yesterday ( it was a small gift, but very sweet, he is an obedient little boy and quite a pleaser!)
Lucille smiles and coos to communicate how much she loves me and is happy to see me.

what more could a mom want?

i love you little bagley family!!!
