Love Hair-do!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Ellie was asking me all week to get online and find a Valentines Hair-do! I was happy to do so. It's so fun to have my one and only girly-girl! She was excited when I showed her the picture of this "heart-do" It was easy-peasy and turned out soooo cute! I'm so happy that she loves to be festive and still wants me to do her hair...love you Elle-Belle!

Bath Salt Sundaes!

These turned out so cute I wanted to blog them for nothing other than to remember! We decided to make these for the Y.W. b-days this year. It was so fun putting them together and I just love how they turned out. The poem attached reads like this:

This very special sundae

will leave you feeling great.

It's chock full of good things

even though it can't be ate.

Take it in the bath with you

of course don't take a sip

Although it looks delicious,

it's made to take a dip.

Directions: Pour 1/2 cup of bath salts into warm water and enjoy!

Garrett Takes 5th in State!

Kaden and Garrett decided to go ahead and try the State Tournament. Kaden did great but lost his 2 matches on Friday night and so he was eliminated. Garrett only lost one match Friday night so he continued on Saturday. He ended up taking 5th Place @ State! That is incredible seeing how he has been wrestling for 3 months total! WOW~ Way to go G-Force! We're proud of all 3 boys for taking up wrestling! It's a tough-guy sport that's for sure!

Porter is Special

Porter had is "Beary Special Me" this week. He was so excited about his poster and all his baby pictures. He couldn't believe it was him. It was fun pulling out old photos of him and remembering how "tiny" he was! I made this special smilebox slideshow and took it in on Friday for his class to watch. It was very fun to hear all the special things his classmates like about him.

We love you Port-Man!

HOPE

Another great reminder today as I attended the funeral for a dear family friend

Dustin Hunter Murdock

Such a young accomplished man (age 35)

It was amazing to hear about all he has done in his few short mortal years.

Incredible was his faith, diligence, endurance and more.

Another life lesson reinforced that HOPE in the eternal plan

brings peace to my soul.

Happy New Year!

This is my motivation to start running again in 2010!

Although this looks more like Ellerie and Porter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sledding Day

We arranged a fun neighborhood sledding day.

It was really fun and dangerous! ha ha

We found a really big hill.

The kids had a blast. I enjoyed my 3 trips down...

although I hearda little "pop" in my neck and have had

a headache since! yikes-I'm getting old!

We are sure enjoying our down time this holiday season!
