Dress up with Rock

2008-08-07T20:57:00.000-07:00

So Rock came over and wanted to dress up with Mase and Jensonian the other day. Rock really wanted to be Pooh Bear, that is, until he put the costume on. He was so embarrassed that he kept saying, "Stop looking at me." I told him that I would only take off the costume if I could take some pictures. I honestly could not stop laughing.

Is it Halloween?

2008-02-02T18:21:00.000-08:00

No, it's just Young Women. The theme this year for the
youth is the scripture in Mosiah that says, "that ye should be
steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works."
So, last week we had our New Beginnings meeting and we
all decided to dress up as part of our program. We also had to each decorate
a table in the era we were dressed up in to represent
different styles. The idea was to show that styles come and go
but the gospel remains the same and we should remain steadfast
and immovable in the gospel and with our testimony. It turned out well
and it all looked great BUT...aren't we supposed to be SIMPLIFYING?!!!!!!
It was a lot of work and a lot of stress trying to find everything from the
1920s. Just glad it is over and I can get back to the rest of the things that
keep me busy everyday...

Santa relaxing on the beach

2008-01-06T23:00:00.000-08:00

The kids saw this man at the beach on our
trip to Cali and insisted that it was Santa.
They made me take a picture of him to prove
that we really saw Santa. I guess he needed a
little vacation before the busy x-mas season.

my new obsession...

2007-05-23T18:32:00.000-07:00

these are just a few of my favorite flowers in my garden - i am addicted!! i have to stay out of the nurseries or i come out with more and more flowers and there is no more room in the garden. they are all just so pretty and i love all of the colors. it's so fun to go out every day and see if there are any more blossoms. (i'm just trying to get my garden to look as good as tracie's). too much fun !! :)

my little soccer stars !!!

A and A ended their soccer season last sat. they had a good season and a lot of fun.

It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to....

2007-05-10T22:16:00.000-07:00

actually, even though i am oh so very old, it isn't really bothering me too much (i think 40 will be a different story). nothing too terribly exciting to report on this"special day"(don't even have a picture to post) - but i did get a very exciting b-day present from my loving husband. he surprised me with concert tickets for faith hill and tim mcgraw. i'm so excited. i have to wait clear 'til june to really enjoy my gift but i guess i just have more time to look forward to it. i was so surprised because it will be a huge sacrifice for chad to go to a country music concert. he keeps hinting around that maybe i should take someone else but i think i will drag him along - he dug his own grave on this one - ha,ha.
the kids were all so sweet to me, too. homemade cards and jewelry - what more could a mother ask for. mason kept asking me what kind of cake i was going to have, maybe a cake in the shape of a vacuum or a washing machine or something?!! he was shocked when i told him there would be no cake - or maybe disappointed is the better word - what, no cake for him to eat?!!
anyway, thanx to all who remembered and called (or posted)(or both)... happy birthday to me!!!

M's 4th birthday celebration at Grandma and Grandpa's

2007-05-05T20:38:00.000-07:00

i am so happy that m was able to turn 4 - you see, i told him that he had to go to his sunbeam primary class by himself (because that's what big boys do and 4 year olds are "big boys") and he couldn't turn 4 and have a birthday if he didn't go to class. well, he went to class so he turned 4 and is officially a BIG boy now - good job m, we love you, you big 4 year old!!!
and, thanx to everyone at grandma and grandpa's who helped m celebrate and eat yummy cake . we wish everyone that wasn't there could have been there, too.

These are Chad's prize-winning colored Easter eggs - at least in the contest at our house. The boys thought that they were pretty cool.

2007-05-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

o.k. - - I guess it has been a long time since I have posted anything so here are a few pictures for you all to look at and enjoy. I'll try to get some more on here soon....

We took the boys to feed the ducks the other day - they sure have fun together.

2007-05-01T22:35:00.000-07:00

M is playing dress up - the funniest thing are the shoes he has on. What was he thinking? Do policemen run around with pink heals on?

2007-05-01T22:30:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love J's stylish hat?!!!

2007-05-01T22:24:00.000-07:00

How do you like this haircut?!!

2007-04-02T16:18:00.000-07:00

After seeing Oaklan and Rockwell's haircuts, we just had to get in on the action! j/k - really, A has been begging for a "buzz" and I finally gave in to him and we decided to have some fun with it for a few days.

birthday fun

2007-03-29T18:32:00.000-07:00

A and A turned 8 this year (I can't believe they are so old). Between the baptism and a BIG birthday party we were very busy this month. But it sure was alot of fun. We had so many friends and loved-ones here to share in their baptism. We practically had standing room only at the church and at our house. It was a very special day and it was so great to have those that could make it here (although we sure did miss all that couldn't be here with us.

Then for the party (which we postponed for 3 weeks after their actual b-day because I was so busy with the baptism) we had a sports game theme. To start with they all made sports pennants while we waited for all to come. Then the boys played a football game (we even spray painted a field in the backyard and Chad was the referee). The girls were cheerleaders. We gave them all pom-poms and had some Young Women from the ward come and teach them some cheers. Then the girls cheered for the boys. When they were all tired we went in to the "snack bar" we had set up in the kitchen and they each ordered food (hot dogs, nachos, drinks, popcorn). What a blast - you sure do have to be creative when you have to combine a boys and girls party.

The kids at the park

2007-03-29T15:08:00.000-07:00

I finally took the kids over to the park to get some pictures (I have been trying to do it for months - that's just the way my life goes). We probobly took over 30 pictures and only a few turned out (they just wouldn't all smile at the same time - image that, ha). But, here are a few of the good ones.

HERE I AM !!!!

2007-03-29T13:40:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess I have joined the world of blogism (probobly not a real word but I think it works). After looking at everyone else's blogs and enjoying them I thought I would give you all another one to have fun reading. And besides, it really is such a fun way to stay up-to-date with everyone, esp. if we don't live that close. So......we'll see how it goes and if I can actually find time to keep it up.
p.s. I really am retarded, I had to start all over and this is the second time I am doing all of this. Maybe I can get it right this time - ha,ha - I'm a dork!!
