Gavins Baptism Invites

I finally finished Gavin's Baptism invitations. It took me a while to find a printer, and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it, but I really wanted to do a 5x5 initiation. So here it is. I am so happy with the way it turned out. Is he not sooooo handsome? He is so excited!

Jeff's Bday

This weekend we celebrated Jeff's Birthday, 39... can you believe. He has such a baby face. We ate at the chips and salsa place- aka Chaparrios in Ogden. We don't get to eat there often so it was a nice treat! Jeff then got to go play Hockey, what better way to celebrate.

I know my blog is pretty bad, but I'm going to make a goal to blog more. I saw this cute site where you can actually print your blog out into a book. It's like having your own journal. So I’m going to try it. Now I just have to find that site again.

I’ve also been working hard on Gavin’s birthday and baptism invites. I’ll post pics soon.

Winter Blues

It's the middle of winter and always I'm shoveling snow and taking care of sick kids. Gavin is finally better after fighting that terrible pneumonia, and then Lindsey got sick and came down with an ear infection. Still trying to hold off on doing another set of tubes. And now poor Jeff is sick with the flu. He's on four days of working from home because he's not feeling well. Do you think I'll get away with out getting anything? Hope so!

OK so I know it's been awhile.... again! But I really did try to post twice, and the site went down and didn't publish them. We have also had problems with our computer, so it's been a lot of fun. A quick update. Took Lindsey into the heart doctor, she is healthy and don't well. I hosted Bunco this month and it went great. I ended up hosting it as Mindy's house, and that was nice. Christmas was great! Kids where a hoot! Gavin would throw his arms in the air and jump up and down with each present. Marissa would pretend faint, and Lindsey would get ready for her the camera before opening each present. We took Marissa in for her eye appointment and her eye has gotten a lot worse, so she is now wearing a patch. She is doing well with it. Gavin has been sick the last week. Ends up he has a phenomena, and has missed over a week of school now.
Oh yeah! I got called to the Primary Presidency and Jeff got called to Young Men's, so we have been really busy!

Happy Thanksgiving

So I got a virus on my computer the day after Thanksgiving, and it went bye, bye! We had Josh stop by and he said to rebuild it, so I'm finally back up and running. So Happy Thanksgiving, a little late. I just took some really cute pics of the kids I'll have to share soon.

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! The kids had Halloween off, and so they all dressed up on Thursday for school. On Friday we had Josh & Julie Family, Mom & Dad, and Jay over for a little Halloween party. I made this yummy Chicken Veggie Soup that Diana made for Bunco. The kids got a lot more into Halloween this year! We went farther then they ever had before. Lindsey got a little tired before everyone else, but she didn’t stop. She did keep tripping over her Belle dress and that really got to her. But look how cute she is already doing the princess wave. Such a princess in training! Jonathan and Marissa were Monkeys together, and Gavin was a Ninja!The night before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.

This was the first year that we let the kids’s clean out and cut their own pumpkins. They didn't even want our help drawing faces; it was all on their own. They turned out very cute! Take a look!

Tooth & Pumpkins

I almost forgot! Marissa lost her first tooth while we were at Disneyland. Unfortunately we didn’t leave a note for the tooth fairy that we were on vacation, so she had to wait until we got home to put it under her pillow. It’s kind of funny because her and Gavin are missing the exact same tooth right now.

On Friday after returning from our trip to California we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. The kids were begging, and hoping we wouldn’t forget with our vacation. Gavin got the biggest pumpkin he could find. Lindsey wanted an even bigger one, but we convinced her to get a medium one. Jeff and I decided to get small ones, because we will now spend hours cleaning their pumpkins out. He! He! I even told Gavin we were going to have to start his an hour earlier then everyone else, just to get it ready in time.
