Younique

Have you heard of Younique?  I discovered it a while ago and fell in love with the product.  It's awesome make up.  My favorite is probably the 3D fiber mascara, it's like getting extensions, but so much cheaper.  I was presented with an offer I just couldn't refuse and signed up to sell it.  I'm excited for this new little venture.    https://www.youniqueproducts.com/WendyQuiring

Please Help If You Can

This family is in my ward and I have been heartbroken for this sweet family since I heard of this tragic accident.  Arden was a devoted husband and father.  Darcy Mecham's, husband passed away in a car accident on Saturday in North Dakota. Darcy has 5 children and is going to need as much help as we can give to her. I know you may not be able to offer much, but if you have anything to spare, please consider a donation.

A bank account is being setup at Zion's Bank tomorrow and you can make a donation to the Arden Mecham Memorial Fund.

An online contribution can also be made at https://www.wepay.com/donations/1582660882.

There is also a Charity Auction site that has been setup and all goods are donated and all proceeds are given to Darcy Mecham. This is a pretty cool group of moms that Darcy has been a member of and they are coming together to support her in this awesome way. There are people across the country who are donating goods and the proceeds. This is a closed group for security reasons - but if you request to join - they will add you pretty quickly.

Please, please, please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers and provide a little relief to Darcy if at all possible.

Thank you in advance.

Merry Christmas from the Mooneys

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Thankful

Sometimes I get frustrated with my kids or the fact that Syd is always sick, but then I just remember how lucky I am to have them. Some people never get the oppertunity to be parents, others have to say good bye to them all too soon. I'm thankful everyday I have mine...even on the hard days I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Sydney's Announcement

Sydney is SO EXCITED to announce she is getting baptized on August 21st!!! Everyone is welcome to come celebrate with her. The exact time is not known yet, but probably around 7-7:30pm.

Would You Apply?

Job Description
PARENT
POSITION: Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop
JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES : The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.
Must possess the skills of a doctor, nurse, crisis counselor and negotiator, psychiatrist, police officer, fireman, and paramedic.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION: None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you but not put you in a nursing home when you get old.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS : While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

I still think about you and miss you everyday!

Baptism Update

So, the date has changed, it's not the 4th. It's June 27th at 1:00 pm. If you'd like to come, we'd love to have you!

The 4th of July

The 4th of July means country, family, friends, fun, fireworks, and baptism.
Yep, that's right, Alex is getting baptized at 1pm on the 4th of July!!! He is very excited to think that there will be fireworks for his special day. Hopefully, the stake doesn't change the day...he would be a bit disappointed I think. Anyone that can come is most certainly invited, plus the fireworks here are AWESOME every year.

Time For An Update

I guess since no one was wanting to participate in the pay it forward, it's time for a new blog. I don't really have anything new to report, just living life doing normal everyday stuff. Kids are busy with school and looking forward to Spring Break next week. I'm just busy working away. Alex has decided that he wants to get baptized so we are trying to arrange with my home teachers and the missionarys times for them to come teach him the discussions. I guess times have changed from when I was 8 and getting baptized, or maybe it's just something with my ward, but everybody has their kids take the missionary discussions before getting baptized. I'll keep you posted on how that goes and when we get a date.

Pay It Forward

So my friend is doing this pay it forward thing. This is how it works..... The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. BUT, in order for you to leave a comment on my blog, you have to post this on your blog first. (That means that sometime during this year you will send a gift to 3 people as well.) Get it? So, the first 3 people to comment on this post will be the lucky ones! Good Luck!

Oregon

I took a little mini vacation over the weekend and had a great time in Oregon. Didn't do much but just relax and hang out, but it was nice to get away. I sure missed my kids though! I did make it to the coast while I was there...here are a couple pictures...the view from the beach house was amazing!

4 1/2 Months

Well, the streak has ended, but man did she give it a good run! Sydney is sick again, sad times. She however, is not as sick as she normally gets. Don't know if that means we caught this one faster, or if her immune system is getting stronger so she's stronger.

Sadie

Today we had to say goodbye to our dog of 14 years. It was a hard thing to do. She was a crazy dog, but you couldn't gelp but love her. I remember the day Sausha brought her home she jumped onto the dresser, I had no idea a dog could jump that high. We love you and we'll miss you Sadie!

Kristin...this one's for you!

LOL...just thought I'd make it 3 for 3.

Happy Birthday Kristin!!!

I hope you have a great birthday.

Thank You Kristin For The Best Christmas Present!!!

Long Over Due Christmas Pictures

Christmas

Christmas was fun, a little hectic and crazy, but still alot of fun. I took a bunch of pictures to post, but somehow the memory card in my camera got deleted. Don't know what happened with that, was just trying to figure out my new camera and all of a sudden there were no images. Oh well, when my kids get back from their dad's I will take lots of new pictures and post them then. Christmas Eve was lots of fun. We had a Christmas party at my mom's and played games, looked at lights, and just had a good time. Christmas day, I had to go wake the kids up at 9 am. When I asked Alex if he wanted to see what Santa brought his response was in a minute. Once they were up and going, we went and saw what Santa brought. They got everything on their lists and then some. They only asked Santa for 3 things each. Sydney was sooo excited for her Nintendo DS...she has waited her whole life for it (she's been asking Santa for the last 4 years) Alex was equally excited for his Nerf gun that does some rapid fire and has a tripod, it's pretty cool, and his Nerf game for the Wii. After playing with Santa presents for a bit, their dad stopped by because it had snowed and blowed so much he got called into work. When we tried to go outside so they could see him, he was in a huge snow plow, I realized I no longer had stairs to my front door, just a hill of snow. We could have slid down the stairs and across the street to the neighbors house. The drifts in the driveway were upto my knees. Investing in a snow blower is sounding like a better and better idea all the time. After digging our way out, we made it over to my mom's house again to exchange gifts with my mom and sisters. Once there I realized we still hadn't opened the gifts from each other at our house. We came back home, at 5 minutes to one, they were supposed to go with their dad at one, and rushed to open presents. Since the roads were so bad we had until 1:30. Alex was so excited about the gift he had for me, that he made me open it first. It was a sewing machine! I had been asking for one for years. He is so sweet! I will have to explain the story behind it another time, this post is really long, but when I heard what he did to get it for me, I cried. I love that little guy of mine.
