I turned 40!

Many dread this day in their life, but my 40th birthday began as any other. I did the normal things I do every other day of the year. I didn't have to cook dinner and we had a fun night of bowling with my family. It was a good day and I don't feel any different than I did when I was in my 30's. It was a good day.

Priest/Laurel Dance

Here are some pictures of Katelynn's invitation to the Priest/Laurel dance (message inside a cake-she had to dig through to finally find it) and her dressed up and ready to go. Beautiful girl. She had a great time.

Matt is 14 years old.

Matthew enjoy a birthday shared with his family and a good friend. He was happy about his gifts of sugar cereal, gum. mints, Preach My Gospel book...but he was thrilled to open fishing line and many lures. He is so excited to go fishing with his Dad at the end of March. He is a great boy.

Allison turns 11 years old!

Our Allie Mallie is growing up. She is beautiful, kind, sweet and loves to laugh and play. Here are some cute pictures of her on her day.

Allison and her friends.

Family Home Evening Craziness

A fun game like musical chairs...except no chairs. Play music and pass a beanbag around until the music stops. The person that touched the bean bag last has to pick out of a large bag of clothing and accessories. And what do you get when you play this....

Daniel Playing in the Snow...in the house!

Many years ago when I was still working and Grandma Nona watched the kids, she had some great fun ideas for the kids to do during the day while I was gone. This one has to be her all time best idea. So good that I use it whenever I can. If you don't want to go outside in the cold, just bring the snow to them and have fun building whatever you want in the snow. They will spend hours doing this until their fingers are too numb.

Piano Playing Kids

Daniel is taking piano lessons(from his mom) and Allison is teaching herself. Here are some cute pictures of them.
