Spirit Week

 For Spirit Week at school the students needed to come to school dresses like a Who. Lexie had we style her hair like Cindy Lou Who and it turned out really cute! Allison didn't want to have anything to do with dressing up like a Who. She told me that she didn't want to look like a dork. I'm glad one of my kids likes to have fun and dress up.

Bryson is a Boy Scout!

This was Bryson's first time going to scouts and he loved it! He is so excited to be in scouts!

Tardis For Allison

 Allison is a big time Dr.Who fan!! I wanted to do something to surprise her so Jennifer and I made this Tardis for Allison using painters tape. I got the idea off of Pinterest. I hope Allison will be really surprised when she comes home and she that she has a tardis in her room.

My Famous Sugar Cookies

Jennifer has been begging me to make sugar cookies for the past week or so and today I decided to make some. Before I started I looked in the kitchen and saw that it was a mess. I told Jenn that I couldn't bake in such bad condition. Jenn got up and cleaned that kitchen so fast! She must have really wanted some cookies. :)

Exhausted after the Christmas Party

I was in charge of the ward Christmas party this year and it was a lot of work. This morning I woke up early to prep after going to bed late last night. We were decorating until 1:00Am. I came home after the party and took a long nap on my couch with my puppies. Jennifer took this picture of them cuddling with me while I slept.

Bryson's Baptism

 Today was such a special day! Our youngest child became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Bryson was baptized and confirmed by his dad and our dear friend Lissa King gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. I hope that Bryson will always remember this special December day and the spirit and love that was felt at his baptism.

Happy 8TH Birthday Bryson!!

Eight years ago today I was blessed with my sweet Bryson. He was a big surprise because we didn't know what we were having through my whole pregnancy with him and we really wanted another boy. November 9th 2006 was one of the happiest days of my life! I'm so thankful for Bryson and the joy he has brought to my life. Happy Birthday!! I love you all the way to Nana's house!

Happy Halloween!

This is the first Halloween in Oregon where we didn't go to a Trunk or Treat. The first one where I didn't dress up, Lexie wasn't with us because she was working, and the Kings weren't with us. The kids had fun going from house to house, but it just wasn't the same without everyone. I have a sad feeling this will be the first of many where we're not all together. It makes me sad!

Happy 12th Birthday Madison!!

Happy birthday to my beautiful Madison! I can't believe you are a young woman now. Times goes by too fast, but one thing is for sure. . you'll always be my baby girl! Love you!
