Family time

Recently I went to "Time out for Women". There was a mother and daughter who gave a good presentation on trying to be a good mom....something I alway can improve on :)!
They reminded me to keep my camera handy for great "mom moments".

So, the other day, while I was busy doing house work, I noticed Ellie was reading to Kamron without being asked. They were both enjoying it, and it was a good mom moment :)

Growing up, my mom always made holidays special....good memories of mine. I hope to do the same for my kids. Thanks, mom, for your awesome example!

Valentines day dinner-red crystal light in champagne glasses, raspberry jello, and heart pizza...i'm the only one that will eat the spinach at the bottom :)

Pink heart pancakes and strawberries for breakfast!

Anna got the best present...donuts and flowers from a boy in her class. They made a great centerpiece!

Cruisin'

On top of the Myan temple in Belize (shown below)

Minitature golfing on the ship...fun to us!

LOVED the dessert selection. I had at least four a day!! Why not indulge? :)

I am going through sugar withdrawl!!

On the ship by the spa

Ready to get back on the ship after a day in Cozumel.

LOVED snorkeling in Cozumel...wished we had more time. The weather was kind of poopy.

Lunch in Cozumel...yummy!

Formal night....

We are addicted to cruises! We LOVED it! I highly recommend it :)!

Random Posting!

How great to see real reindeer in their natural habitat.....fenced up in the city park :) The joys of childhood!

Alexa and her first junior high dance (8th grade)

My favorite costume ever.....The Firework!

When my parents were here for Christmas I made them make a manger scene with the kids. Let me tell you, my dad and Brett were thrilled ! :)

My dad made the bed :)...very technical!

Kamron made a giant sheperds staff that was larger than the sheperd and looked like a candy cane :)

The finished product!! Ellie made the angel,brett made one wise man, grandma made the sheep, anna made the sheperd, alexa made the camel, and I made 2 wise men, baby Jesus, Joseph, and Mary (who baked funny in the oven)...basically what was left :)

Love these guys!!!

Family Photo finally!

I hate getting family pictures...that is probably why it took me 3 years to get the gumption to do one. And, of course, I hate my hair as usual :)

Summer Fun!!

The Wasatch Back Race...Again!

We started the race in Logan Friday @ 7:10 am

Our team vehicle and name :)

...and ended in Park City Saturday about 1:30 pm

The Next Ragnar Race is in Vegas, so at the end of the race there was a promotional tent where we "gambled" for prizes. I'm glad I wasn't using real money, I was no good!

FATHER'S DAY!!

Kamron turned 5 on June 25th! Soon he'll be off to kindergarten-crazy! I forgot to buy wrapping paper for his presents (leave it to the unorganized mom) so we used leftover Christmas wrapping paper turned inside out...he didn't care!

Next stop...Girls Camp with Alexa!! I loved girls camp when I was in young women's. It was just as much fun as a dorky leader :)

Ellie and Anna's Dance recital (yes, I had to come home from girls camp to go to it). They had fun and looked so cute!

Last, but not least, Ellie turned 7 years old today!! This must be why summer goes by to quickly! Two more birthdays, a couple of camp trips, and it will be back to school before we know it ! (sob, sob)
