Happy Birthday to YOU!

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband who works like a slave to bring home the "bacon". May you have many more wonderful birthdays ahead of you!

Remember when???

Remember when you were a kid and seeing Santa at Christmas was the best thing ever..cause it got you even more excited for when he came Christmas night?

Not this year. Sure they were excited to see him at the party; but as of pretty much that night, they are no longer believers.

Believing in Santa has come to an end...and they now know the truth.

It was kind of sad, but in the same sense I think their old enough so it wasn't too heart breaking.

I will forever treasure these memories and photos!!

Another wedding

I had the priveledge of arranging flowers for a wedding this week. I find it so fun and somewhat relaxing..and the end result is PRICELESS.

Just not feeling it

Every year we usually pick out a tree as a family...this year while at Harmon's picking up groceries, I just grabbed the first one I saw.

I know, I know not my style, but Im just not quite feeling the Christmas "cheerieness" thing yet. Maybe when I get out of school for Christmas break huh?

Im just not quite feeling it!

Happy Halloween

They all wanted to be pirates...Aarrgh!!

The "walking socks" theory....among other things

Up until now I was truly believing that the dryer really did eat the socks. I proved that to be an old wives tale today. When I went searching, not only did I find lonely socks but I found missing clothes. I know all of you out there have said to yourself.."now I know that shirt just didn't get up and walk away", etc. etc. Here is my theory......

Here are some of the places I have found things: the toy boxes

here's a missing dish towel

under the bed..not unusual

tucked clothing between the wall and her bed hidden under blankets and stuffed animals

what's that I see? I have been searching for those...isn't sleeping with scissors almost as bad as running with them?

Do they ever grow out of this phase?

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!!!!!

Oh it's crazy...............

Yes it's true..my youngest is now 10!!!

Witch Fest 2009

We love Gardner Village's Witch fest...it was so much fun this year!

We just need more family and friends next time.. here's a few pics of the
fun day we had.

Playin 'hookie'

Konner stayed home from school one day...can't remember why???, but this is what we did. What the heck I say, playing hookie for a day is no big deal!

Hmm...

Im just wondering...... Is it going to cool down and start acting like FALL soon?

In Need

Hey everyone..we are moving home to Salt Lake. Problem: in need of jobs to secure us there. If anyone knows of anything promising..please let us know.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Love you all!

Blue Mountain Entertainment Presents:

BYU International Fold Dance Ensemble. This group of young dancers and singers put on the most amazing performance Saturday night. This was our family fun night. The kids were entertained and we had the best time. At the beginning of the show, they told the audience to please not take photos or video....well I didn't take video, I had to break one rule.

They perfomed dances and songs from these countries: Israel, India, Hungary, China, Turkey, Ukraine, Canada, Ireland, and the United States. I guess they travel all over the world and perform with groups alike. If you ever have the chance to get out and see them, the time and money spent would be much worth it!

Sled Cemetary....?

A couple of weeks ago I found the girls digging holes in my backyard. After a hole was dug they went and found tree branches to put in those holes to what looked liked a forest. Then they started digging holes for the sleds, all of which to carefully place where each one went. When you looked at it you really would have thought it to be a sled cemetary...I thought 'creative'. Picture one will give you that image:

Well as usual I was wrong. NO this was not a sled cemetary....it was a shelter from the neighbor boys and their toy guns...I laughed forever! Creative thinking on their part. This is what is was for:

HAHAHA! I miss being a kid sometimes.

Let's count......

This is what it looks like when you have 202 cases of girl scout cookies delivered and sitting in your living room.

Lets do the math shall we? Let's see 12 boxes of cookies per case, 202 cases equals: holy cow 2424 boxes of girls scout cookies! That is a lot..hope you guys are ready for them.

Now where did the furniture go?????

Trying Something New...Or Not!

I was asked to make a wedding cake at work for our Valentines party. This is the best I could come up with....so not my thing.

Top of the cake looking down.

I got really messy with the chocolate...but I wasn't trying to be professional. So there you go;

now you know why I stick to cookies, pastries, and small cakes.

Not a picture man!

The kids came home from primary today with a letter from the primary presidency stating that as part of their theme this year, they would like to post photos of families. So as we walked in the door I told everyone to hurry and sit on the couch while I took a picture. Jason is not the type that will exactly jump in front of the camera. He hates taking pictures. I asked him a couple of times to sit forward and straight up, well as you can see this was the result. I think it's funny. He definately is not a picture man!

New Years Resolutions

I have made plenty of new years resolutions in the past, most of which failed by April. Well this year I intend to make them stick! I will not let things get in my way, and I will do what I have to to make it through. One of those is to be a better blogger. I intended this blog to use as a family update and inform all of our family members as to what is going on in our lives. I was good till October then I let work, holidays, and what not get in my way. Wheather that be blogging every week or every other week, it will be done. I hope I can be an example to those wishing to be better at their new years resolutions...we can help each other out.

By the way I know it's late, but we hope everyone had a great Christmas, and we wish all of you to have a healthy and prosperous New Year.
