Name game part 2

I needed a little help understanding the different personality types so I looked on line and found this:


Type A

Impatient
Has trouble relaxing
Aggressive
Has a short fuse
May get upset over small things
Competitive, achievement-oriented
Time urgency: Interrupts others, becomes frustrated
While waiting in line.

Type B

Patient
Relaxes easily
Easy going, mellow
May avoid confrontation
Not quick to anger

Meanwhile, it is possible to also have a mix of these characteristics, which is classified as Type AB personality.


I think I am a good mixture of both! My husband is constantly telling me to calm down or I am going to give myself a heart attack! There is a lot I do not allow others to see or I have learned to hide real well!

What Kaydee Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Fun for all ages!

Looking for something fun to do with the little kids! Check out the MooMoo Palooza that will be happening on October 10th and 11th at Superstition farms !

I took Kade and the kids last year and they had a blast! I hope we can make it again this year! It is fun showing the kids where milk comes from and telling them that I have lived on a dairy farm just like this one and and have milked cows just like they do there!

Sweet and Sour Meat Ball Recipe

Meat Balls
1 lb ground hamburger
1 egg lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons of chopped onion
1 Tablespoon of cooking oil

Sweet and Sour Sauce
3 Tablespoons of Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons of Cider Vinegar
1 8oz can of pineapple chunks
1/2 cup of sugar
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 medium bell pepper cut into strips

In a bowl, combine meat, egg, cornstarch, salt, pepper and onion. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. In a large skillet brown meatballs in cooking oil. Cover and cook over low heat until the meatballs are done, about 10 minutes.

In a sauce pan stir vinegar and cornstarch until smooth. Drain pineapple reserving juice. Set pineapple aside. Add enough water to pineapple juice to equal 1 1/2 cups. Stir into vinegar mixture. Add sugar and soy sauce; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Add the meatballs, pineapple and green peppers. Cook until heated through and green pepper is tender. (my kids like them on the side not cooked in)

Serve over noodles or rice. Makes 3 to 4 servings.

My family also likes the sweet and sour sauce over rice and popcorn chicken(from Costco), and carrot sticks.

I want my teef back!

Kade was beyond shock when he bit his first bite out of an apple and out came a tooth! He did not know what to think, he wasn't prepared for this! To tell the truth, I was not prepared either! I thought it would take him another couple of years befor we started in on the tooth fairy fun again! He is growing up way to fast! Kade would not let me look at his mouth for quite a while, all he would say was that he wanted his teef back! Well I hope his teeth grow back some what quickly and and I remember tonight that I need to play the tooth fairy again!

My Monday Miracles

Small little things that I am Very Thankful for today:

1. A husband that is home safely, though a little battered, after a four day trip to Colorado to help his parents get wood for winter.

2. An air conditioner (in the house) that works! Hopefully it gets working today after 3 days of not working!

3. Friends that let us stay overnight at their house, to escape the heat, while they are out of town!

4. Family that comes into town and stays awhile even with no air in the house!

5. For all the other little miracles that happened this weekend, there are to many to count and name!

this and that... part 2

We did not plant any seeds and we dont remember having anyone eat watermelon outside, but, somehow we have watermelon growing in our back yard! They are overtaking the place, covering kades toys and play area! We don't know if it will produce any fruit but we experimenting with it to see if it actually will! The kids love to check on it and see just how much it has grown everyday!

This and that... part 1

Here are a couple of crafty things I have done over the last couple of weeks!

A ribbon Halloween Candy Basket and a tin planter that I glued ribbon and flowers to! (to bad you cant see the rhinestone bling in the middle of the flowers!) Simple and easy are the best!

You Know ....

Your husband is a NERD... um I mean Engineer... when he builds a himself a Hydrogen Generator for his truck! He is going to install it this weekend, I guess we will see if it actually works! The only down side to having a husband who tinkers around with building stuff and tearing stuff apart is that I have to give up space on my counters and floors and cupboards for him! WE have lots of tools and gadgets laying around. I think it is kinda cute to watch him do things like this because he reminds me of a little boy with his toys! Good Luck Hon installing it and getting it to work!

p.s. I guess a hydrogen generator produces hydrogen that is put into or over the carburator(?) in a car instead of gasoline and reduces the amount of gasoline your car uses. In theory This thing is supposed to double the gas milage of a car or truck.

Unwelcome Visitors!

At 6:00 am today I woke up and went into the kitchen to help my kids get breakfast and get them going for the day which is my typical everyday ritual! Well as I sat down to eat breakfast I noticed something crawling on the floor! It was an ant! I thought if there is one, there has to be more, and sure enough as soon as I thought that I felt something biting my toes! My toes were right in the path of some ants!!! I Looked around and saw that my floor was covered in ants from the end of the dining room to the back wall of the kitchen! I dint know how I missed seeing them before then. So I had to leave my frosted flakes soaking in milk on the table while I got up and started cleaning! Chantel got out the vacuum and began to vacuum them up while I got the ant killer and went out and sprayed the line of ants that were coming in! As I got to the ant hill I was a little freaked out that it wasn't just a single ant hill but a three foot long string of ant hills! I sprayed the hills and came back inside to help finish up with the cleaning ! After vacuuming, sweeping and mopping the floor I was able to sit down and finish my soggy frosted flakes !

I called my husband at work and told him of the unwelcome visitors that I had ,and he said he would work on that tomorrow so that I wouldn't have to worry about having any more unwelcome visitors for breakfast!

Nothing to exciting...

Nothing to exciting happening around here just babysitting nieces and nephews! They are all so cute and fun! Love them like Crazy!

Taking kids to the doc because since school has started we have all been sick! The doctors office and emergency room are loving us lately! Brock was looking a little to pathetic and Kade was worried that they were going to give him a shot! And wouldn't you know it, the minute we got home they were somehow feeling all better!?! What is it that makes kids feel really bad and then you take them to see a Dr and pay the fees and then they are all better? OY!

And all of this in between family parties to celebrate birthdays! Here Chantel is feeling the love of her uncles while Brock is enjoying the whole thing! I think he loved it a little to much silly kid!
