The Warner Story

Aubby Likes to Dance

2012-01-12T20:22:00.000-08:00

Auburn really likes to dance. A few times in the last week we've just flipped on the music and gone crazy. It's something the whole family enjoys.

Keturah and Lord Death

2012-01-11T14:39:00.000-08:00

I guess I just always pick the books that don't have any disscussion questions for them already! Here is a list of book club discussion questions for Keturah and Lord Death. Some are borrowed, but most are my own.

Keturah is said to be beautiful but is never described in the book. Why did Leavitt do this? What aspects of Keturah's beauty is shown to us?
What are some similarities between Keturah and Lord Death and common fairy tales?
Was this novel predictable?
What did you think of the ending? If Ketruah really dies in the end, who is telling the story that is the "truest" story ever told?
“Tell me what it is like to die," I answered.
He dismounted from his horse, looking at me strangely the whole while. "You experience something similar every day," he said softly. "It is as familiar to you as bread and butter."
"Yes," I said. "It is like every night when I fall asleep."
"No. It is like every morning when you wake up" How can dying be like "waking up"?
Keturah uses John Tysmann and his love for her repeatedly. Is this beneficial for everyone, or is it always at his expense? Is she being cruel?
Does Keturah really want to live? When does she realize this?

Best of 2011

2012-01-11T11:51:00.000-08:00

Here are the books I loved in 2011:

The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

The Book of Fate by Brad Meltzer

The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler

Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn

Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

Shorter than usual, but useful nonetheless.

Happy new year!

While Mommy's Away...

Happy 2011!

First Heart

2011-12-08T11:58:00.000-08:00

The sweetest thing just happened....Auburn was sitting next to me drawing and she says (basically) "look Mom! heart!" and points to her paper, then points to her chest. She was so proud! And I AM TOO! What an amazing little cutie.

To give credit where credit is due...thank you so much honey for the amazing printer that also scans and for setting it up for my personal use. I was so grateful today when I could scan in this moment to share with our friends and family.

diapers!

2011-11-19T13:32:00.000-08:00

I kid you not, Ruby had a poopy diaper down to her SOCKS today. Weird, I know. For whatever reason, it always happens with our disposable diapers and big poops...never with the cloth.....yet. I can't decide if it's timing or not. This is our 4th big disposable diaper blow out in a month; 0-4 with cloth diapers in the lead. Yey for cloth! I know its weird of me, but I l-o-v-e my cloth diapers.

ten-thousand

2011-11-17T12:44:00.000-08:00

Yes, the secret is out, Greg is officially ten thousand days old. In honor of this special day we're having a Greg Warner favorite.....El Palacio!!!!

I love you honey. Hurry home. :)

Auburn Looks cute today (larger)

2011-11-13T14:24:00.000-08:00

Auburn looks cute today... as always.

Not a thumb sucker...

2011-11-13T13:37:00.001-08:00

Ruby has been trying to be a thumb sucker ever since she was born ...I think she has finally given up and settled on being a finger sucker!

Four generations

2011-11-12T06:21:00.001-08:00

Im holding Aubby, who's holding Rhub, whose holding the doll.

side by side

2011-11-07T14:12:00.000-08:00

Isn't this the cutest outfit? I love it. Ruby sort of looks like she has red hair in her picture. I'm not sure if it's really red or if it just was the lighting/camera.

Auburn, one month

Ruby, two month's

towel girls

2011-11-06T20:03:00.000-08:00

bath time is one of my favorite times of day with the girls. They are so little and I love getting all their fingers and toes clean. And Ruby's ears, because their always seems to be spit up in them.

smile!

2011-11-05T13:01:00.000-07:00

There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good, she was very, very good,

But when she was bad she was horrid.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

look closely.....

2011-11-04T22:35:00.000-07:00

Auburn is learning her colors. Believe it or not, she did this all by herself! She took the balls from one toy and put them color coordinating onto another. Later on I found the purple ball left all by itself across the room....

too bad they don't make purple marble machines.

Sandbox!

2011-11-03T12:41:00.000-07:00

Daddy built a sandbox in our backyard. He made Auburn agree that it was her birthday present for the next four years. Yey, right!

party, part tres

2011-11-01T19:03:00.000-07:00

We had a lot of fun decorating the house. My chalkboard is finally done and up, just in time to look spooky with cobwebs. I also put my crafty paper decoration making hands to work and made these two lovelies:

I read that table top decorations that leave room for food look bare in pictures. It's totally true! The table looked so much better when their was food on it.

My personal favorite....the chairs!

(not pictured: black widow spider chair, pumpkin #2 chair)

party, part duex

2011-10-31T20:24:00.000-07:00

Look at how cool the party food was.....

Halloween shaped sandwiches:

"Monster" veggie tray:

"spooktacular" brownies:

Can you believe these cake pops? AMAZING. She even had ones with jack'o'lantern faces!

And last but not least, thank you to the Dayton's for the toilet paper!

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-31T12:57:00.000-07:00

party, part uno

2011-10-30T20:08:00.000-07:00

We had a little Halloween party for some neighborhood friends. Greg was in charge of making our costumes this year, and we all went as "trons". Auburn says "tron" in the same voice/sound as the "droid" recording. Hilarious. "Auburn, what are you going to be for Halloween?" "troooooooown!"

Jeff, Kelly and Nash in their primeval getup

The Berky's loved our "mummy wrap" activity.

The Westenskow's were all decked out....the boys even wore eye-liner!

Brad is such a nice husband. Cynthia was telling me how she needed some toilet paper.

It's amazing how high Liem can reach!

Hayden the, bed bug, bites again!

And that's all folks! Thank you to the Mitsuda's for rounding us out!

Baby Blessing

2011-10-26T10:59:00.001-07:00

Ruby will be blessed at church soon. Should I take some tips from the Cassbaughs?

let's fly

2011-10-24T14:23:00.000-07:00

I read an interesting article about Ryanair that I thought I would share.

The thing that intrigues me the most is the "stand room only" tickets. GENIUS. Plus, if you watch any sci-fi you would know that standing while flying is the future. I do want to know more about the safety protocol requirements. As a child I always wondered why the flight attendants could walk around and I had to be buckled in during the early stages of landing. One time I even saw a flight attendant never sit down during landing. I can make up reason now as to why I think it's smart to be sitting in a seat, but none of those reasons would preclude standing room on a plane. Especially if their is a buckle (I'm thinking car seat with out a bottom) anchored down. Now that's stylin!

I'm excited to see the changes. I am hopeful that it will result in lower airfares for all. That way Dad can stand in the back and I can sit in the expensive seat with the baby. Yeay!

Lunch Date

2011-10-20T14:59:00.000-07:00

We went out on a lunch date - and left BOTH girls at home with a babysitter! Look at how good our food looks....
I got two fish tacos; one was shrimp with pineapple salsa, and the other was salmon with mango salsa. They were some of the best fish tacos I've had. They did need some salt - which doesn't happen often with mexican food!

Isn't he handsome?

If you come visit us in gilbert, we will take you out to Tia Rosas!

Mom's Visit

2011-10-19T14:43:00.000-07:00

Man! I have been neglecting to post this picture for a LOOOONG time now! Sorry about that Mom.

I'm excited for when my Mom will be here next (in three month's!) and we can try again. By then I might even fit into my regular old jeans!!! :)

Halloween Costume Preview

2011-10-18T21:43:00.001-07:00

I liked Tron. What can I say? (Auburn's and the rest soon to come.)

And yes... the costume was laid on a sleeping baby for these pictures.

TWO

2011-10-16T14:42:00.000-07:00

Auburn is TWO years old

and Ruby is TWO month's old.

I am so in love with these girls!

big girl room #1

2011-10-15T15:13:00.000-07:00

We have started the "big girl" room. We got a day bed, and stenciled one of the walls with a dark pink color. Greg searched long and hard to find this daybed- hooray for craigslist! We love it.

updated family picture

2011-10-11T14:54:00.000-07:00

I wanted to take a family picture that included Ruby for a while, and it was waaaay stressful. We came away with over 10 bloopers, and one good one. To build anticipation for the good one, I thought I would post all the bloopers first. And yes, I spelled "bloopers" like "bloppers" at first. I would like to thank google chrome for their spell check, and the english language for having a word like "bloopers" in it's dictionary.

(Jess: "put your hand down!"

Greg: "look at the camera!"

Jess: "smile!"

Greg: "smile!")

my favorite pictures of myself are when I'm talking

proof positive, it was hard work people.

we heart tron...

2011-10-11T14:03:00.001-07:00

we love tron....and books....

Lunch Date

2011-10-06T16:26:00.000-07:00

We had lots of fun going to eat with Daddy at work on Monday. We packed our lunch, saw all of his work friends, and ate in his lunch room. Auburn drew a picture that Dad hung up in his office.

cupcakes

2011-10-03T15:01:00.000-07:00

I miss eating. Cupcakes are one of the things I can't have. Milk, Peanut-butter, cheese, anything I want to eat, chocolate.....all are out right now. In lieu of my pain, I thought I would bring this tasty information to your eyes. (PS-it's not a lose-the-baby-weight diet, it's a Ruby-has-colic-I-am-tired diet)

(thanks Utah loves cupcakes)

General Conference Activities

2011-10-01T09:08:00.001-07:00

Jess has an activity associated with each of the apostles. When Auburn sees the person speak, she gets to do the activity! Sounds fun to me!

First Sunday

2011-09-28T09:55:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture form Ruby's first trip to church. She does great and sleeps most of the time.

puzzled

2011-09-27T16:02:00.000-07:00

Auburn did this puzzle with 10% help from me. She's a smart one, that Auburn Mary.

Good Morning!

2011-09-27T09:48:00.000-07:00

Lots of bugs

2011-09-25T19:04:00.001-07:00

For whatever reason (maybe its the sub 100 degree temperatures ), there seems to be a lot of bugs out. I've noticed an increase in bark scorpions as well as less-seen bugs such as these spider. Images are of a black widow, brown widow, and man wolf spider with babies on her back (search youtube for 'wolf spider with babies on back' to see a cool vid).

One Month

2011-09-16T20:46:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was Ruby's one month birthday. Look at how cute she is!

Cute Auburnism

2011-09-05T22:05:00.001-07:00

Starting about a week ago, whenever I'd put Auburn to bed, she'd always insist that she be placed on top of her blanket with the edges wrapped around her. I'm guessing this is something she's picked up by watching how we wrap up Baby Ruby.

Three Weeks!

2011-09-05T20:09:00.000-07:00

Happy three week birthday little girl!

Playing the Enemy

2011-09-05T19:13:00.000-07:00

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and The Game that Made a Nation

by John Carlin

This book has been popular since the movie "Invictus" came out. Originally I got this book planning on reading it for an upcoming book club - but then the selection was changed but I was interested enough that I decided to read it anyway.

I'm glad I did even though I found it a hard read. Most of the book is about the politics that preceded Nelson Mandela using the Springbok's as a unifier of South Africa. It really is a remarkable story, one that has a lot of moving parts as most political things go. I admit that I really didn't keep track of very much of the political stuff. I was able to capture the big stuff pretty easily. The rugby team, the Springbok's, is mentioned, but not delved into until 150 pages into the book and is concluded by the 1995 victory over the All Blacks.

Stats:

There was heavy swearing when the rugby team is introduced.

You might like this book if....

You like non-fiction

Are interested in starting a revolution

Have ties to South Africa

Like good underdog/leadership stories

I love you Greg Warner

2011-09-04T20:17:00.001-07:00

Ruby today

2011-09-02T08:37:00.001-07:00

Thanks for the Onesie Ami!

Toilet Cleaning

2011-09-02T07:25:00.001-07:00

Since Auburn is now a regular toilet user (she's almost potty trained), she graciously offered to help me clean it. Its hard to see, but in this pictures she's holding the toilet scrubber. She did such a great job - and with a smile!

Pink Hat Society

2011-09-02T07:23:00.001-07:00

Auburn loves sporting this beautiful pink hat wherever she goes! (Thanks Denise!)

And not to leave out Ruby...

2011-08-30T14:16:00.001-07:00

Aubby

2011-08-30T14:13:00.001-07:00

In her 'coat', with her backpack, and eating with her mom (not necessarily in that order).

Mailboxes

2011-08-30T14:11:00.001-07:00

And, of course, what's a park visit without a stopping to play with the mailboxes (each way)?

Auburn was up really early this morning (...

2011-08-30T13:57:00.001-07:00

Auburn was up really early this morning (and so was I), so we decided to take advantage of the cool morning weather and headed to the park just after 6am. She had a good time. She loves playing in the sand and I'm looking forward to putting in a sandbox in the backyard. By 7am it was too hot outside and we had to come home.

Best Friends Already

2011-08-25T06:55:00.000-07:00

Auburn is so good to Ruby. It really is fun to watch Auburn love and kiss and hug Ruby. She has even start sharing her toys with her. It's kind of awkward because her crib is always hazardous with bouncy balls, blankets, flashlights, etc. but fun to watch and I really don't mind as long as they get along.

Hanging out:

This is where Auburn pops Ruby's back:

Auburn kissing Ruby's knee (All the time! I'm not sure why its the knee, but I guess it's better than her face all the time):

Sisters are the best!

Stains on my Shirt (so far) Today:

I know for a fact that three of these five stains came from Auburn. Just another day as a big-bellied pregnant lady.

Winning Idea

2011-07-29T14:50:00.001-07:00

Greg stumbled across this article and sent it to me knowing me all too well - that I would love it - no surprise there! The only problem is how small and young our family is at this point. It's a future wish, and I pray that in 3 years when I start implementing it I won't have lost the bookmark AND that I actually remember to start doing it.

Can you imagine the possibilities of Sunday stations? What a great way to keep your kids from spend the Sabbath day as an ordinary day. It helps to get individual Daddy/Mommy attention in, encouraging a time for open communication and building trust that can only come through personal attention. I also am excited to apply my skills to creating activities that can be enjoined by my children that are gospel centered.

Here are some of my initial ideas:

1) reading station (duh)

2) memorizing station (temples, scriptures, past prophets)

3) letter/coloring station

4) journal writing station (I feel this needs to be separate from #3 because of the importance of a personal journal)

5) Call Grandma station (they should get one-on-one attention too)

6) music station (they practice hymns on the piano - obviously for older kids)

7) genealogy station (read stories/journals, indexing for older kids)

8) Mom & Dad interviews.

Well, guess we can have 8 kids honey. Just kidding! I don't know if we will do allowance at the same time as the interview. I think I'll try to keep allowance separate from Sunday, but maybe tithing can play into the interview somehow. I might do the interviews separately as well. It's good to have Mom & Dad time, and Mom time and Dad time.

"The Echo" Poem

Happy Pioneer Day! Enjoy my new scrappy quote....

Daryl's Visit

2011-07-23T12:25:00.001-07:00

My sister Daryl came to visit before she left on her ASL mission to Oregon. She spent lots of time reading to Auburn and singing songs with her.

Daryl and I worked on some hair accessories for her as well. Here is the finished set. Daryl picked out her own buttons and the types of flowers she wanted, but we were able to mostly use scraps of fabric I had to create the flowers.

We also painted Auburn's room, ate out at my two favorite restaurants, played some games, did lots of reading, and a lot more talking! We had lots of fun - Thanks for coming to visit Daryl!

Happy Birthday Song

2011-07-20T15:50:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Auburn!

2011-07-20T15:39:00.000-07:00

Auburn turned two on July 10th. We had a friends with their families ice cream party. It turned out perfect! We were able to have a few friends over and we bought WAY too much ice cream (5 half gallons and a 3 gallon family size vanilla!). This little girl is the best two year old I've ever known.

Sorry about the picture quality. Something is wrong with my camera that I can't seem to fix.

Finished!

2011-07-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

I have been working really hard to finish the print I posted about a few weeks ago, and ta-da! Here it is! I figured that I spent around 40 hours working on it. I loved having a project to work on at night while Greg was studying. It's a lot better than sitting around eating ice cream for 40 hours!

See if YOU can guess all the animals. HINT: the first animal is NOT a mouse (Daryl!)

Roller Derby Super Star

2011-07-17T19:29:00.000-07:00

(in training)

Auburn is the luckiest girl in the world. Aunt Denise found these super amazing, mint condition, pink and purple ribbons, Barbie roller skates. Auburn loves to put them on and stand around like a super star, which is just the first step on the road to derby stardom. If you don't know what roller derby is, here is a catch-you-up link. The posters are really where its at though. I know, she totally looks the part.

I would highly recommend a pair of super amazing, mint condition, pink and purple ribbon Barbie roller skates to any little-girl-turned-roller-derby-princess.

The Fourth

2011-07-17T19:26:00.000-07:00

Whether or not you believe the way we do, I hope everyone feels this special. Happy Sunday!

GREAT news!

2011-07-05T19:15:00.000-07:00

We just got some great news at Dr. Leo's today, baby Gressica has turned! We are so grateful that she turned head down; it is something we have been praying for.

Here are the other miracles of the day:

Monsoon tonight!

Daryl gets to come and visit next week

I found green crocs at goodwill in Auburn's next size up

2011-07-04T21:18:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I read blogs that do awesome lists. Most of the time they say things like "I need this" linking it to something without telling you what it really is. Annoying? Yes. You have to click on every item to see if it really is "the best thing since sliced bread"! Am I going to copycat it right now? Yup.

A great going to college present that makes me think of my Mom.

I loved this blog post.

Hopefully this will be a great craigslist find for my house.

I like this show, maybe more than I should.

What a great idea.....that I have a love/hate relationship with. (more later)

I've had this mobile open for three days now, trying to decide if I want to buy it.

I made my own version of this....and I'm getting ready to color it all. (I'll post a picture later)

And that's my night of web-surfing. In other news - it looks like Monsoon season outside. Is that possible? Or is it way too early in the year?

I took a 2 hour nap today, and I'm already falling asleep (it's 9:30).

I'm sad today is over because Greg will go back to work tomorrow. I like having him home and not working.

Auburn went "the number two" on the toilet, but doesn't want to do it again.

It's hard to feel like time out is effective when Auburn sings her way through the whole thing. Should I get mad about this and make it into a bigger deal? It seems to defeat the purpose of punishment if I have to get loud and angry for her to feel bad about hitting (or other timeout infractions). Timeout is the feel bad tool - not me? Oh, parenting, what work you are.

Baby doctor appointment tomorrow! We are in the 40 day stretch, which makes me think of Noah's ark. At this point, it's like I'm trapped inside a ship while it pours outside (and I feel slightly sea sick the entire time), and then when the rain clears we're not done yet! Gotta find some "land" before I can rest. (You know, like get the baby to sleep more than 2 hours.) Home stretch people, here we are.

Born to Run - Book Club Discussion Questions

2011-04-28T18:52:00.000-07:00

I couldn't find any book club question helps on the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, so I thought I would post the ones I made up to help whoever is in search of some discussion questions.

What do you think of the thesis that humans are literally “born to run”? Did McDougall do a good job in proving this theory in the book?

Do you have a favorite character/person?

What do you think of their diet?

Was this book interesting? Did it hold your attention? Was it easy to follow?

What do you think of McDougall’s claim that “less is more” when it comes to shoes?

Do you think this book will have any negative/positive effects on the Tarahumara? On Ultrarunning? On the individual runner?

Do you think that running becomes more popular during hard economic times because people are literally “running away from their problems” like McDougall says?

The Dress That Fits

2011-04-10T19:13:00.000-07:00

Because of Auburn's length, most dresses tend to look.....well lets just say they are unflattering and that is that. This dress, however, is practically perfect in every way!

Swimsuit Season

2011-04-06T19:18:00.000-07:00

For spring break the pools opened up and we had a playdate at the Mesquite/Basha highschool pool. They have a splash pad, lazy river, wading pool, toddler pool, and an olympic sized pool. It was a lot of fun in the sun! We saw a ton of friends and enjoyed the water play-gym. The night before, we realized that Auburn needed a new swimsuit, so Daddy was very nice and took Auburn to Target and pick out FOUR different swimsuits. He brought them home and let Mommy pick her favorite to use. If you ever come to Arizona, we will take you to the best pool ever!

Giant Turtles

2011-04-06T19:02:00.000-07:00

Auburn and I went with some friends to the Zoo and it was a nice, warm Arizona day. This is the first time we had seen these tortoise's, and we were very impressed by their size and age. They can live up to 80 years! I think it's time we got a desert tortoise.

Matchy-matchy

Two of the cutest girls in the world in their matching dresses. I'm so sad M is in a different ward now. I'm sure Auburn is too. Aloha!

Fun Facts

2011-03-05T20:32:00.000-08:00

Here are fun facts about this photo:

1) The black on this little girls face comes from an eyeliner pencil (not a marker)
2) She is wearing her brand-new Australia shirt! Does it not fit her perfectly?
3) We have just cleaned my bathroom, and now are sweeping the kitchen and Auburn will successfully vacuum up the whole sweeping pile. A first of many times to come!
4) Her hair now sticks up like this all the time! No stopping it.

I have learned from this picture that you can have a party anywhere. She was pretty sad when I didn't let her have water for this party.

Hats make your brain look big when they're small.

Auburn put my Sunday socks on!

Elbow

2011-03-03T17:23:00.000-08:00

This is "Elbow". Grandma Warner brought it back from Mexico for Auburn, and since she has so limited a vocabulary this little red lama/sheep is now named one of the only things she can say. Elbow has already been broken and repaired twice and now lives on a shelf. He seems to really like the view up there. Thanks Grandmary Warner for Elbow!
