Captain Moroni

The bad part about being good friends with your ward activities director is that they always ask you to help!! I have just made Steve his second costume in 3 months. And have you seen the size of my man? I can't find shirts long enough for his arms let alone a Captain Moroni costume. So....to the fabric store I went. I think it worked out pretty well.....but I told Steve next time he is saying NO to the activities director!

Valentine project

Do you want an idea for a super easy Valentine's project?? This project was so fun and so easy. I have made 4 of these for different friends. I apologize for the fuzzy pics. I must of had a shaky hand the day I took these.


INTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut burlap in to triangles
2. Trace the shape you want on to the burlap.
3. Fill in shape with ModgePodge and then sprinkle glitter liberally. Shake extra glitter off and let dry over night.
4. Use a large sewing needle to string triangles together.
5. Embellish with ribbon.
6. Hang it up or give it away to a friend.

Can you spell....

We are so proud of Alexa and Caleb for being in the school spelling bee. They did such a great job!!!

Photo shoot

A while back I took some photos of one of our favorite families. I took these photos a few days after we found out I was going to be miscarrying for the second time. To say the least I wasn't in a healthy frame of mind....so it has taken me a while to go back and look through them. Thank goodness Angie is such and easy going person and understood.

MIA

Wow...it has been a while since my last post. We have been busy!! Let me give a quick update on our lives. Steve was accepted to the University of Utah's Executive MBA program. I have to brag for a moment. The school waived him from having to take the GMAT! He is so smart! And they informed him that they can't remember the last time they have seen a grad student as well rounded as he is! Ok...done bragging!!! But wow...he just amazes me! So glad he is ALL MINE!
Caleb won the science fare at his school. He and several other students will be heading to the ditrict science fare. He conducted an experiment to find the best way to cool a can of soda. Would you believe in a bowl with salt, water and ice is the fastest??
I started my job at Jetblue. It has been fun, I have met many new friends and I love learning new things. But it also has been super busy as they are in the process of changing systems. I was hired to help ease some of the pressure with the change. This will require lots of over time. NOT WHAT I WANT!! But we will make it through and hopefully in a couple months my schedule will calm down!!! After the system change takes place I will be able to work from home! I just wanted something to keep my busy while the kids at school.........:)

Trying the new toys

Even though it was 12 degrees on Saturday the kids were dying to try out their new toys.
Jonah talked Granny B in to riding his electric scooter. She was whipping around the walking paths. And please note that my LITTLE mother is wearing Jonah's jacket.

Alexa was excited to try out her new bike. She had grown out of her last bike.

Post Christmas

We had Saturday brunch at The Grand America Hotel in down town Salt Lake City. It is a 4 star hotel and you could spend quite a while just admiring the architecture and interior design. We highly recommend the brunch...it is only $15 for adults and $7 for kids. This is a picture of my family.....yes we are a motley crew!!! We took a few moments to take some fun shots in the hotel.
