Cambodia

In three weeks, I'll be in Cambodia. I'm so excited about going, but there seems like there is so much to do before I leave. I have to go clothes shopping, which is not my favorite thing to do. I don't have anything clothes wise to wear over there, plus I need some new clothes anyway.

Our missions trip has grown from building a fence to a children's crusade and a medical mission on top of the fence building. I'm so excited about going!! Please pray for Aaron! 10 days without mom. . . I think it will be just fine!!!

Project 365 . . . or 358 . . . or 300 . . . or however many pictures there are at the end of the year!

Thought I would just post an update and some pictures. . . of random things. There was a scrapbook kit at the beginning of the year that was called 365 scrapbook. You were supposed to take a picture of something every day. I thought it was a great idea, but forgot to take a picture on days 3-8, so I kind of quit. But, when I think about it, I take random pictures of things around our house -- everyday things. So, here are a few random things from around our house.

First off, Evan and his CARS collection. Every time we go in a store that MIGHT have them, we have to look and see if we can find ones that he doesn't already have. We are always on the look out for them. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure who is more obsessed with them -- him or me.

Here's another picture of Evan. He goes to Trish's house on Fridays while I do backpacks and she lets him bake things. It's kind of their thing. This is a cake that Evan baked and frosted all by himself. . . well, he said Trish only did one thing and turning on the oven doesn't count. ;)
Here's a picture of the boys on the day that it was so icy. They thought it was fun to run and slide on the patio.

This is one of my favorite things I got for Christmas -- my hair straightner. I've had more compliments on my hair since Christmas than ever before!! This thing is amazing!! It takes my morning wild hair and makes it smooth and straight!!

These are Jaxon's new shoes that he got today. He puts them on and he loves them, but once he stands up, he hates them! I paid just as much for these little shoes as I do my own!!


My biggest pet peeve lately: Leaving the lights on!! Seems like at any given point in time, I can walk through the house and EVERY SINGLE LIGHT IS ON!! So, I go through and turn them off. Within a few minutes, there are at least most of them back on!! Not sure how to fix this problem!!

So, there you have it. My "randomest" post ever. . . the most random things in the Laughlin house.
