11-21-10 DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE

We were going to Everett for Thanksgiving, so I decided it would be nice to have the tree decorated when we got home…I absolutely LOVE this idea!  Plus, as you’ll see in the pictures, we got a little dusting of snow!  It was perfect!

My sister-in-law, Jenny, got me started on a fun tradition a few years ago…I have an all glass ornament tree and which my kids LOVE!  No two ornaments are the same, and we love to play “I spy” to find a specific ornament!  It is a tradition that they will remember their whole life!  Thanks, Jenny!

11-3-10 YW NIGHT OF EXCELLENCE

The YW leaders in our ward planned a beautiful evening for the girls. They did a modest wedding dress fashion show. My heart skipped a beat…I didn’t have my good camera, just my cell phone, so the pictures are a bit grainy, but it still shows how beautiful my girls looked!

I know it’ll happen sooner than I want, but at least it was fun for them to dream…don’t they look beautiful?!

2010 Halloween

We carved pumpkins, went to Halloween Parties, and just had FUN!

They’re obviously sick of “posing”!!!

What fun costumes!

I know I took a picture of Thomas in his cool Ninja costume, but our computer crashed!  Darn computers!  Luckily, he’s going to be the a ninja again next year!  PHEW!!!

5-2-10 ASHLEY’S 8TH GRADE CULTURE FAIR

Did you ever wonder what was inside a golf ball?  Ashley decided to do some research about golf and found out some great stories about her dad and grandpa along the way! 

This is what the inside looks like-COOL!

Deep down, you’ve always wanted to do this, right?!

This project was a family affair and it turned out great!  Ashley’s love of golf shines thru!

Way to go, Thomas!

Ashley’s even getting into it (for the money, of course!)

Looking…

Pretty good!

Counting out the loot!
