Party Girl

Paige had an awesome party and we had such great support from our family! Thank you to everyone that came!!!

Happy Birthday Paige!

Look Who Turned 1!!!!!

Enjoying eating her cake!

She got this little tykes car for her birthday, and her cousin, Zarek, wouldn't get out of it. He wished he had one for himself. Look at that face. He wasn't going to let anyone near the car.

Paige new exactly what to do. She opened the presents mostly by herself. I was quite impressed.

I am on this kick of making birthday cakes. I was quite happy the way this one turned out. I made it up as I went along. (It's a butterfly)

Love you Paige! You are such a fun and happy girl!

Who didn't love Fresh Prince? Here are some of our favorite clips. It's too bad they don't make shows like this anymore.

Draper Temple Open House

My family went to the Draper Temple Open House tonight. It was simply amazing! The spirit and opportunity to go and bring my kids was so neat. They knew they were in a special place and were so reverent. After we had been through the temple, and proceeded to the chapel of a near by Church, I was truly over come with deep gratitude and love for the Church. I am so grateful to be a member and to have temples again on the earth. What a wonderful blessing to have prophets who receive modern day revelation where we are able be a forever family. I love my family so much, and I hope and pray that they will have the desire and commitment to live worthily to return again to the temple. Here are some really neat pictures of the Draper Temple that appeared on ksl.com http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=5322959&nid=148 (Make sure you click on the photo gallery.)

Looking For Something To Do?

The kids had the day off from school yesterday, and we needed something fun to do. Every month I get the Family Fun magazine, and there are a lot of fun craft ideas. In the February edition (http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=12122), they had the idea of making candy necklaces. The kids really liked it, plus there is so many fun Valentine candy to use. The older kids were able to do a lot, but I still had to help out. The key to making it an enjoyable activity is to have everything precut and ready before they sit down at the table. Have fun!
