Wesley is... smart athletic self-motivated and kind hearted Sounds like the perfect kid doesn't it? Well, he really is! Happy Birthday kiddo. Make it a good year!

Bree allows me to snap a few Birthday photo's before school. Mr. B.T.C (Daddy) shows up at school with balloons and pizza during lunch hour (he even heads out to recess after lunch) Bree finishes off the night with a Dinner date with Mom and Dad at the restaurant of her choice (cheesecake factory) and because she's best bud with her sister she invites her along. It's no surprise that she requests a trip to build-a-bear as her birthday gift. Meet Roxee her newest stuffed animal (among many). Our Birthday GIRL loves... Anything with sugar on top CATS her bike her American Girl doll (Lacey) her school teacher church cheese pizza/ her daddy's oatmeal her family (especially her sister) foo pets reading "cute" clothes (her words) shoes computer games her Jazz class her school friends -------------------

Turning eight is a "big deal" because that is the age of accountability appointed by God. This means that Bree is now old enough to become Baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. At baptism we make a covenant with our Heavenly Father that we are willing to come into His kingdom and keep his commandments. We covenant to take upon ourselves the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Taking upon us His name is one of the most significant experiences we have in life. Bree we are so proud of you for following the example of Jesus Christ. Your life will be forever changed because when temptations come if you will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind you that you have promised to remember the Savior and obey the commandments of God. As you listen to those promptings, choose the right (CTR) and strive to obey the will of your Father in Heaven you will always have this priceless gift to help you make good choi

MOTHERHOOD has been one of my GREATEST privileges in life. Today was perfect. Thank you for making it so special.

Nathan's Science project 2010 Instructions: create a simple machine that completes a task. I thank my lucky stars I'm not a single parent. When this child brought me his idea sketched out on paper I looked at it and thought...yeah right?!? but said, "Great idea!" When his Dad looked at this same sheet of paper He said, "No problem... let's do it!" So the two of them went to work Completed Product: C an Crusher Before...

Why in the world would I take a picture of my washer and dryer and post it?!? Because I have a new appreciation for them. Many are lucky enough to have a washer and dryer in their home. I have always been one of those lucky ones up until about a month ago. When we sold our home the buyers bought a lot of our furniture. They also bought our washer and dryer. We had to rent a home for a few weeks (Yes, we moved TWICE) until we could close on our new home. The rental we stayed in had NO washer and dryer. This would be one of those situations in which one might start looking for a local Laundromat (not so easy to find, who knew?) I'll have to admit, it wasn't so bad at first. I met some real nice folks and the best part was that I had ALL eight loads of laundry... washed, dried, folded and hung on hangers in less than two hours. That would be a record! It was the 15 minute drive to and from the laundromat AND the loading and unloading of all the laundry tha
