Happy Birthday Timmy!!
Words cannot accurately describe the gratitude I feel for having Tim in my life. I remember the day I saw him for the very first time. When he walked in the room he looked so familiar. I will never forget his eyes. I thought he was quite possibly the best looking boy I had ever met. Nineteen years later, I still think he is a hunk. Not just because he is absolutely gorgeous, but also because he is an amazing man. I have never met a anyone who is more honest, hard working, loving, generous, supportive, or kind than Tim. He loves the scriptures and has such a keen knowledge of them. Recently, he sent me a text that quoted a scripture and then said, "This book is true." I love him with all my heart. I love and admire his relationship with each of our children. I love that he will sit with each of our children and just talk to them. I love the sparkle that he gets in his eye when one of the kids walks in the room. I love his unconditional love for all people. I am grateful for his example and his integrity! I miss him terribly! Happy Birthday Tim! I love you!

Is It Friday Yet?!?

Today I ran in a Home Decor store with a couple friends. Check out this toilet paper holder that we found! Don't you think that every home should have one of these?

Jaxson had a Young Men's basketball game tonight. They lost by 3 points. Jaxson is not happy when his team loses! They played really well, they just couldn't keep it together in the end. I was a total embarrassment to Jaxson and my friend Lucie! Oh well, I had fun cheering for our team!

Wednesday!

Maddie and Me!
Maddie is a stuffed owl that goes home with a different first grader each night. The kids have to include Maddie in their daily activities and then write about what they did together in a class journal. Emmie and Maddie played on the computer, watched a little T.V., ate dinner and played with Haidyn. Emmie is so cute and is such a blessing in our lives.


Ryanne is having boy trouble! She is sad and not feeling "pretty" enough. It broke my heart to see her sad. I can't even imagine why such a sweet, giving, beautiful, loving little girl would feel inadequate. Are the boys her age blind? Ryanne is practically perfect and everyone of my friends loves her! Girls! It seems like this starts earlier and earlier each go round! Maybe I will come up with the right answers by the time my kids are having kids!

FHE

Timmy had to leave for Arizona today. It was so nice to have him home for the night. The kids were all sad tonight when they realized he wasn't going to the movie with us. "Family Night" consisted of going to see "Mall Cop" with a few families on our street. It was really cute and the company was great!

Last night we had dinner and played games with the Ford's. Paulie was Ryanne's primary teacher last year and is a good friend of mine. It was a great dinner. Tim loved a hot, home cooked meal after being on the road so much this month. Ryanne has a little crush on Paulie's son Chase. He is a little older than her (a mere 15 years). It was so cute and he is such a nice guy!

Unfortunately, the kids go back to school tomorrow.....Darn it!

Ruby!!!

Last night I begged my friend, Carey, to let the girls and I play with Ruby while she got some work done. Ryanne is so good with babies. She loves to hold her!

Hanna's Cute Hair!

Isn't Hanna's hair so cute? I love it. My friend's daughter, Erica, did it and we could not be happier. Hanna is getting to grown up. I am not sure how I feel about that! We just love her.

Lately!

Jaxson's friend, Amy, went to Preference. She came over to show us what a "knock out" she was! She looked so pretty. Too bad Jaxson isn't 16!!!!!

Ryanne made this pillow in sewing.
