Grab A Button

Under the plan of heaven, the husband and the wife walk side by side as companions, neither one ahead of the other, but a daughter of God and a son of God walking side by side. Let your families be families of love and peace and happiness. Gather your children around you and have your family home evenings, teach your children the ways of the Lord, read to them from the scriptures, and let them come to know the great truths of the eternal gospel as set forth in these words of the Almighty.

The Girls 1st Annual Halloween Party!!



Brillee is in the big pink glasses, Emilee is from Star Wars, Stefani is a Hippi Girl, Megan is a Dance Girl, McKayla is Clown, and Maddi is a Hippie Girl. (Left to right Top to Bottom.)


I bought scary teeth at the Dollar Store. We were gonna do a Tooth Bobbing game kinda like Apple Bobbing. WELL, lets just say a few of the girls started getting a little freaked out. So they just ended up putting them in their mouths and we took pictures.
"The Bone Hunt"Brilee, Stefani, and McKayla posed for a picture just waiting for the rest of the girls to come to the party!! They all had a blast!! Okay so toward the end of the party the Costume Box came out. All the girls started changing up their costumes. It was so dang funny to see what they would come up with. Well Stefani came up with the funniest by far. Her hair matched this wig she put on and it looked like "Uncle Earl" as they called it. It was the perfect mullet. Brilee had the mask on and the red cape. I wish I had the pictures that I took on Brilee's camera too. I got a ton of cute one on hers.
This was Stefani in the pink Hippi costume, Then Stefani in the Black Dress Coat, so you can see the Difference!!! So Funny!


Stefani, Come on Girl you wanted your picture taken "Can you at least smile for me"

Can you "Roll your Tongue"?? Everyone could except one girl..


Emily definately makes a great Star Wars figure doesn't she. She is so dang cute!!! Look at those ear muffs!

Happy Halloween Everyone! I hope you had a Boo-licious time!

McKayla's New Do!!!

I have been spending a little bit of time blog surfing this past week and found a few that were reallly cool. They show exactly how to do these cute up do's..



This is a picture of the one she wore to school. It looked much cuter in person. I have to tell you that she has very thick hair for all of you that don't know. So we did the best we could.



French Braid Headband
(with a ponytail twistup in back.)

We will be sure to post pictures of the next one she is wanting. We tried it last week one evening to see if it would work and it was so darling. The problem is we have run out of little black hair bands. Soooo, as soon as I get some we will do it.
We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did.
It was a fun little Mommy Daughter time for us..
Love ya Kayla*Ü*

PTA Meetings
Raptor Romp Dance
Elder's Quorum Party's
Annual Primary Program
----------------------

Lets just say that its been a crazy few weeks around my house. Sooo this week is really quiet now. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Well except get back on the job hunting track. I am actively searching for a job. I really need something to get me out of the house and keep me busy. Well as most of you know my youngest son is in 1st grade this year. I am now completely free..not really. I know it sounds like I am probably living the life, but as most moms know its not really easy being a stay at home mom.

I do alot of these things... Carpooling, Homework, Reading, Grocery shopping, House Cleaning, More Carpooling, more Homework. Dr Appts., more Carpooling. Sometimes I feel like all I do is run the cute little kids around.. Well I think you get the picture. Oh did I add Laundry in there too..

I love my kids. It has been such a blessing to be able to stay home with them these last couple of years. They are growing up so fast. I find myself looking at them alot more now and just wondering where the time went. Before I know it they will be all grown up, but wait there is so much more I want to do with them still. So slow down and give me some more time.

I sure love my hubbie and my family. They are great to me. I am lucky to have them.


Okay I need all your Halloween Party ideas!!


I am really excited for the Halloween Party, However... I have drawn a blank at what I am going to do for these cute little kiddies. Well I am hoping that some of you fellow bloggers can help me out. I am looking for a few ideas for my daughters 5th Grade Class Party. If you have any really scary or gooey or down right haunted ideas please share them.. Do any of you have a great website that you like to use for ideas when it comes to the class parties?


Well I know this is a lot to ask for, but I know someone out there in the blogworld has to have some really great ideas.


Thanks and I look forward to your comments.. PLeasseeeee!!

Guess Who was Star of the Week???
He was born about 2 months early...
He had Hydrops...
He loves Frisbee...
He loves Ice Cream, Pizza and Cake...
He loves blue and red...
He loves football...
His favorite book is The Bear gets sick...
Yes it's Jackson!!
He had a great week and loved everyone being so interested in him. He loves school so much. We talked about how he was born early and showed pictures of his little feet and hands. The kids then got to ask him all of his favorite things. Jackson got to choose a treat to bring for his class and of course it had to be store bought. So we decided to do little baggies of candy. The kids were all excited when they saw how many little candies were inside the bag. Maybe six but thats a lot to them. Jackson seemed like such a great helper and he passed them out to each student and made sure they all got one. What a great little guy. I can't help but be so proud of him. Its so amazing to watch him to this day and realize what a blessing he is in our lives. I know its not Thankful Thursday, but I am so thankful for his blessing in my life. He has taught our family so much and we don't know what we would do without him.
Love, Mom
Can I say Heaven!!!


Today I was treated to a full body massage. This was my first massage ever! I was so excited to get one. I have posted before that I have always wanted one. Well it was everything I had hoped for. Isn't it funny how we think things might be and after we go through it we realize its not that bad. I should have gotten a Massage a long time ago. The girl who did it was so great. She made me feel so comfortable. Her Name is Tiffany, She works at Red Mountain Spa. She has been doing this for a long time and she knows what she is doing.
Well okay you might be asking yourself how I got treated?? Let me explain! My sooo cool sister in law Jaclyn asked me to watch her little boys over night this coming week. I agreed of course. They are so cute. They also love me!! Well Tiffany is Jaclyn's sister in law. So she mentioned treating me to a massage in exchange for watching the boys. I was like "well alright then" of course there is no need to twist my arm on something like that.
I have been wanting one for so long. Well now I know where to send my husband to get me a gift certificate for all special occasions.. Yippee!!

Why would you Vote?
There are some bleeps in the video, so please don't be offended. I hope it just helps us all to realize how important it is to get out and vote. We can make a difference we just need to vote our conscience. If we all vote whats in our heart how can we go wrong. I think now more than ever we need to register to vote. There are only a couple days left to register so if your not registered get registered!!

I know I know I'm not one you will hear talk about politics hardly ever, but I think now is the time more than ever.
