First Snowman of the Year

I had this whole weekend of so I wanted to do something fun with the kids. Now playing out in the snow is not my idea of fun, but Jace had been wanted to play Side, as he says it, since Monday and Madi kept reminding us that she had never made a snowman. I was doomed, my fun day with the kids was going to have to be outside! It worked out good, TJ finally got the lights off the house and trees out front and the kids weren't trapped inside for another long day!!

TJ is so good to play outside with her. She loves the snow and loves to be in it. Really different from me. They made the biggest snowman she had ever seen!!

Putting rocks for the mouth!!

Here is the finished man!! Jace just wanted to haul the shovel around all morning long but as long as he was happy so were we!!
He would rather not join in the fun, just play by himself!

We really don't know why he likes to carry the shovel around so much! He thought it was funny to knock all the small snowmen down that Madi and I made while TJ was on the roof! This is one of the lucky ones who survived the shovel!!

Young Women at Region Drill Team

Thursday night I took a car load of my Young Women girls up to Region Drill in Salem Hills. We left at 4:30 and I didn't get home until midnight! We had a ton of fun. I wanted a group shot but Madi got a hold of my camera and then the battery went dead so this is what I got!!

Whitney and Bailey(Pete) I hate to choose favorites but if I could choose any girl from young womens it would be Whitney! I work with her and I love her!! Pete also works with us and not in our ward but we love to have her come!!

Once again, Madi was taking the pictures so they are very up close and personal!!

This is Sabrina, our newest beehive and Amanda her sister! They rode up with another leader but we all had a fun time together!

The girl on drill team in our ward didn't end up dancing because of injuries, but it was fun to just go and show our school spirit, What little I have!!!

Bailee and Miranda. They are twins and babysit for Madi and Jace. My kids absolutely love them and I do too. They are so different from each other but they always keep us laughing. They remind me of my sisters when they fight over little things! I feel like I am home again! Along with Whitney, I would take these two as my own. They came into Young Womens the same day I did 2 and a half years ago!! I can't believe I have been in that long!! I love these girls and love to be around them! I am one of the luckiest ladies!!!

Here is a picture of Madi. I took her because she loves to watch dances!! She was in absolute heaven the whole time we were there. She doesn't sit still to save her, but the whole night she just sat and watched all 6 schools perform 3 different dances!! What a girl I think that is a record for longest time holding still!!

She loves hanging out with the girls and gets so excited when she sees them different places besides church. They are so good to my kids!! (Well I guess Whitney did loose her while they went to the bathroom together but that doesn't count right?!)

Going Private

To go private or Not?

I hate PRIVATE blogs, but after hearing a disturbing story recently I have decided to go private. It makes me sick that we can not even use blogs to keep in touch without sick people using them to harm children. My two kids are my life and for the safety of them I have made the final decision to go private.

I would like to get all of my friends and family on my list, so send me an email, or leave me your email address and I will invite you in.

Thanks!!
