More fun snow pictures from Las Vegas
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Snowing at my house on Wednesday, December 17. More snow pictures to come when I get them from my neighbor. Madison and her friend Cole played out in the snow. I was at Target with Meghan, Paige and Parker so I missed out on taking the pictures. I will get them posted when I get the email.
What color is your hair?
Your Hair Should Be Blonde |
You are outgoing, light hearted, and a ton of fun. You don't take life too seriously, and you do your best to charm everyone you meet. You are very energetic. People tend to underestimate you, but you can get a lot done. You do tend to be a bit sensitive. If someone has a bad opinion of you, it truly hurts. You are cunning and clever. You are smart, but you aren't "book smart" or academic. Some people may think you're superficial, but they're not seeing the whole picture. |

2. The numbers 3 then 2 then 1 will pop up on the screen. Immediately following number 1, several numbers will flash on the screen for barely one second.
3. Memorize the numbers' position on the screen, then click the circles from the SMALLEST NUMBER TO THE BIGGEST NUMBER.

Halloween Day and Night
While we were there with awesome backgrounds for pictures, I took these pictures of the kids. I think they turned out great and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for professional packages. I am so glad my college education can be used for the benefit of my kids and my pocket book.
Here is what all the kids looked like Halloween night. They all looked great!!!!

Primary Program
Today was our annual primary program that the kids put on in sacrament meeting. Both Paige and Madison participated and did very well. Madison worked really hard to learn her part and be able to say it without help. She did great!!! Today's program was Paige's last since she will be turning 12 in May. She is excited to see next year's program from the congratation. Parker will be able to join the primary kids next year since he will be a Sunbeam. He is excited to join in next year to sing. He is definately ready to move into primary. I believe nursery is getting a bit boring for him. It is so fun to see all the kids that were in nursery last year get up and present a part in sacrament meeting in front of so many people. Everyone did an exceptional job with sing, play instruments, and saying their part. The spirit is always so strong when the children testify of their Savior.

Bubbles everywhere
This will be the last time they get to experience such a huge bubble bath. It took several hours for all the bubbles to go down the drain. You just have to love these little children. I just laughed inside to see only heads above the bubbles.

Extreme Makeover - Bathroom Edition
Well, once the tile came off, I found lots of mold, which required structural demolition. Also, our sinks were breaking and showing rust in the bowls. Of course, the new tile didn't match the tile our counter top was covered with, and the old tub just didn't look right with all the new stuff...you probably have guessed that one thing led to another and when it was all done with, the tile was replaced, the sinks and countertop was replaced, and the tub was replaced. To bring it up to today's designs, we also removed the old '80s looking mirror and bar-light over the vanity and replaced with something more stylish (the light fixture cost only $5). Since more was done than originally planned and because of some poor measuring on my part, we encountered some delays and my 2 week project turned into 3 1/2. I'm very happy with it, however. The shower is bigger and now has a light over it so it doesn't feel like you're in the dark, the tub is deeper with jacuzzi jets, the counter no longer has grout to constantly clean, and everything that was bad before has been repaired. I sure pays to work for a General Contractor some times. Kendra picked out a fantastic looking tile, too.
Happy Birthday Madison
Madison had her 7th Birthday on Monday and all she wanted to do was invite friends and play with them at a park that had a water feature. The park she choose was smaller and wasn't crowded at all. We actually had the whole park basically to ourselves. They played in the water and played games for about one hour then we went back to the house and made paper crowns, had cake, and opened presents. She had a BLAST! Life is so simple when she is happy with friends.

Apples, Apples, and more apples.
We picked 25 gallons of apples and that made a lot. I thinks this is the total count of production for the two weeks I was in Durango. We made three pies and one apple crisp. I brought home over 36 jars of jam (raspberry, strawberry and apricot), 12 quart jars of apple juice, 8 round tables of fruit leather (roll-ups), 18 pints of frozen raspberries. My dad's raspberry patch was doing very well this year. By the time we left, we had picked around 120 pints of raspberries. TONS! I also helped my mom freeze raspberries for my siblings in California, and my nephew froze some for his family in Rexburg. We also made jam for my brother. It was a busy two weeks and I think I forgot how much work I used to do in the summer when I was growing up.
