Window Sticker

I have had my window sticker for years and it is finally showing it! All my attempts at trying to paint eyes on because they had fallen off were in vain. I found some more at Michael's. I was sorry to see the old stickers go but I like the new ones! I guess the one thing we can count on is change! The top sticker is the new and the bottom is the old! I like the old one because we are all holding hands--we are all connected! Oh well! I still need to get two dogs for Ping and Brewser. Too fun!

Quotable Quote

My beautiful daughter, Taylor, came home with a quote I thought I would share--her teacher always puts quotes on the board and this is the one for today:
"Life is not like a box of chocolates, life is like a jar of jalapenos...what you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow."
Quite true! Hope you enjoyed that one as much as I did!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, I guess my only tribute to Valentine's Day (on this blog) is the background! It has come and gone and I said not a word! So I am saying now--Happy Valentine's Day. This is a great day because we were engaged on this day nineteen years ago!! I don't have pics celebrating, but I learned something new for this day--Heidi taught me a few things--the one I will mention is cake decorating! Yes, I can now decorate a cake with yummy frosting. My first attempt was a three layer--chocolate, strawberry, chocolate--pink-frosted cake. It was pretty with roses on the top--Heidi's roses looked much better than mine! When we served the cake on Valentine's Day Tyrel said it was the best cake he had ever tasted! He is very upset with Heidi because cake has never been one of his favorite things but now he is rethinking that--I guess it depends on the cake???

My children received chocolate hearts and a shirt--Davis was extremely happy with his Phoenix Suns jersey! It was a good day but Tye was struggling with allergies and it was awful--for him and me! He got me the greatest card--see above picture! This card is so me--I often eat goodies or sweets--chocolate in particular--and I get caught and the guilt is written all over my face! Tye gave me this card with--what else--but some chocolate! This man loves me!! As far as his gift goes--he received his favorite thing!! Enough said! :) Hope your day was great!!

Grant Rides a Bike!

Grant learned how to ride a bike! What a brave boy--he makes us nervous--notice the helmet, and biking gloves. (Believe me, if Tye had knee and elbow pads available, they would have been on Grant!) Tye practiced with him one evening and the next day as soon as Grant got on the bike he asked Tye to let go. Tye was nervous to let go but sure enough, he was riding the bike! He doesn't pay close attention and he is fearless--that's why we are so nervous!! We may just go get those elbow and knee pads!!

Winter Formal

Taylor went to Winter Formal last Saturday (1/31/09) with Preston. Here is a picture of them. This was taken with Lauren's camera phone. More pics. are coming but I just had to put this one up! Aren't they a gorgeous couple! Taylor had a lot of fun and she was with a wonderful group of kids! Taylor is so beautiful!

Our Family at Davis's Baptism

Davis's Baptism

Our oldest son, Davis, was baptized this year on Sept. 6, 2008. A good friend of mine had her camera there and took some great photos as we were leaving the baptism. It has taken me forever to ask her for the CD of the pics. so I could get more copies. Since I finally got them, I am posting them for you to see. Isn't he handsome!? What a wonderful little boy. We are so blessed to have him in our family!
