Happy Valentine's Day!

So yes, I know it has been a month since I have posted anything. All I can say is Crazy! The last two days I have spent making Chase a Valentine box for school. I had this idea for a while, but thought they were making a box at school. On Wednesday he brought home a note saying we had to make one at home. Well, the stitches on the baseball didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but it was about 1:00 in the morning, and I was tired. It didn't turn out too bad, but I wish I had more time to fix the stitches. Oh well! Here is a pic of the "heart" hair that I sent Hailee to school with. Again, not as perfect as I would have liked, but ran out of time. Maybe tomorrow before they go to their church valentine party I can get it to look better! Hope all is well, and Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Issac's New Big Boy Bed!

Well, when Issac started climbing on top of his dresser from the crib we thought it was time to get him into a big boy bed. After much searching on KSL classifieds we found the one we had been looking for. The Little Tikes blue race car!! They cost around $150 in the stores, so when I found one for %50 we jumped on it. I was a little worried about him still taking his WONDERFUL 3 hour naps in the afternoon. We have only had the bed since Tuesday night, but yesterday went great!! No getting out of bed until he had slept 3 1/2 hours!! I'm sure it won't be that easy everyday, (especially on weekends when the other kids are home) but at least we can hope! I think Issac really loves his new bed, can't you tell?!? I can't believe that he is big enough already to be in a big boy bed, they grow up so fast.

Elder Jordan White

Okay, so those of you who don't keep in touch with my mom or Holly on a regular basis, (which is probably most since my mom has not updated lately, and Holly is not with it) Jordan is now Elder White. He is serving a service mission in the Kaysville Bishop's Store House. He can not serve a full-time mission due to health issues. He just started last week, and is totally loving it!! He just got his names tags today, and was excited, so he brought them over to show us. We love Jordan so much, and are so proud of the decision he has made to do this mission. I am so glad that he spends so much time at our house, and is such a great example to our kids. Thanks, bud, Love you!!

Free Photos!!

Okay, so if there is anyone out there who does not know, my cute cousin Emilie has a photography business. She does a WONDERFUL job, and is awsome to work with (just look at our pics on the side). She is having a contest for FREE pics! Just click on the link on the side and it will take you to her site, and you can get all the details. Gotta love the free stuff!!

DisneyLand

Okay, so we are trying to plan and budget for a Disneyland trip in the fall. If you have any money saving tips or ideas PLEASE share!!! The kids have never been to Disneyland, and I think it's about time to take them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISSAC!!!

Happy Birthday my little man, you are growing so quickly. I can't believe you are already two years old!! You bring so much joy and fun into our home. You have such a fun little character and personality. You always make us laugh!! I hope you know how much we all love you.


Oh, yeah, was that an awsome football game last night or what?!?!?!?!!! We love our Utes!! 13-0, can't ask for more.

Finally a new post!

Okay, so I know that I have not posted anything for a while now. It has been super crazy around here. We have been putting up our Christmas tree, going to ballet, watching it snow, going to ballet, having Hailee's 9th birthday party, going to ballet, Christmas shopping, going to ballet, and oh yeah, going to ballet. We have been having ballet of some form at least three times, sometimes more, a week! I went to opening night of the Nutcracker with my mom and mother-in-law. Hailee did such a wonderful job!! It was so cool to see her up on stage, being part of something that was so cool. Sorry, but they won't let me take pictures of her in her costume. I will try to scan one in when I get their pictues back.

I have been woking about 30 hours a week on top of everything else. I did love to sit at my desk and look right out the window and see the snow falling, and sticking to the trees outside. I love the look of the snow on the bare tree branches.

Hailee had a great birthday, she invited her entire school class to the party, I know, crazy mom. It was lots of fun, we played BINGO, and opened presents, ate cake, played the Wii and shoveled the driveway like 10 times in the two hours so that they would not fall on the way to their cars.

Here is a slide show of some pics of what has been going on. There is still one more performance that Hailee is in this year. Saturday, December 20th at 7:30, the performances last about one hour and 45 minutes I think. It is my turn to stay home with Issac, but Todd will be there. You can buy tickets at the door, they are $12 for adults, and $8 for kids, not bad for the Nutcracker! It is a wonderful show, they do a great job! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, hopefully I will be able to post again before Christmas, but if I don't, I love you all, and wish you a Merry Christmas!!

Chase update

Okay, so those of you who have been wondering, Chase is doing much better. They had the school counselor take him out of class and talk to him about everything, they also talked to the other kids involved. They gave Chase a Bully Report that he keeps, and fills out, then at the end of the month will turn it in. He has not been complaining at all about going to school, or about anyone being mean to him!! I am grateful for his great teacher, and the counselor at school for helping with this situation. I'm sure they didn't want some CRAZY mom down there!! Thanks to everyone for their help and support, it really means the world to me. I try so hard to be practical and not over react to things, but I was having a really hard time with that. Love you all.
