Look who went to the first grade.....

Jonah took his best buddy ROOKIE to school. He loves his doggy and loved showing him off. The kids asked him lots of different questions. One in particular was "what's wrong with his eyes?". Poor Rookie...it's hard being a Pug!

Weddings

I realized I never posted pics of Scott's wedding from a few weeks ago. Scott is one of my best friends. It was so neat to see him get married! I got all emotional when I hugged in him the sealing room. We have been through tons together. We love Cara and think she is FANTASTIC!!

growing up part 2

Alexa: Lindsay when will boys start liking me?
Lindsay: Ummmmmmm
A: I am going to start playing lots of sports so boys will like me!
L: You don't have to play sports for boys to like you! They will like you for who you already are!
A: Ok...but when will they start liking me?
L. Ummm....how about 7th grade?
A. Sigh....Oh I can't wait!!!!!!!

Growing up

I love listening to the kids having a conversation. They sound so grown-up.

Today I over heard Jonah and Alexa...

J: Alexa why do you always say "B.F.F."?
A: Because
J: Well what does it even mean?
A: Best Friend Forever...Alex is my B.F.F.
J: Why don't you just say BF or just turn it in to a word like "Biff"?

This is only the start of Alexa's brothers thinking she is a creature from a different planet. They often comment on her laughing and giggling all the time with her friends. It is so funny to see the differences between boys and girls!

Family Home Evening

Tonight we had $5 dinner night for Family Home Evening. We got the idea from my friend Alisa. Each family member gets $5 to spend at the store for a dinner item.

Steve got egg rolls
I got Jo-Jo potatos
Caleb got Texas Toast and cup cakes
Alexa got chicken and fruit salad
Jonah got tacitos

Not exactly a healthy dinner but the kids had the best time deciding what to get and eating their feast!!!! I highly suggest this activity!!!

Food Storage

We decided to have our resident chocolate milk expert test out an item for our food storage. The verdict was......right down the middle. He said it wasn't bad and it wasn't good. He did say "The more I drink it the badder it taste!". Such a milk snob!!!

Temple Celebration

Did you know we have a temple being built in our neighborhood???? It is the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Our youth in the area will be performing a large dance celebration for the dedication. I was asked to help make part of the costumes. Aprons! Steve loved modeling it for you. The performance will be televised world wide...so watch for my creations.
