Happy Birthday Tyler!

I can't believe my cute hubby is getting so old!! Just kidding! 35 seems so young these days! I will be there in 6 short months! We had a great day with the kids making darling cards, decorating with balloons everywhere, presents, cake and ice cream. The kids LOVE birthdays, so the day was really fun for them.

I love you Ty!! You are the best husband and father that I could ever ask for! I have been so lucky all these years to have you for my best friend. Hope you had a happy birthday!! Love you!!

I guess I need to go shopping

Sometimes it takes a 4 year old to put you in your place. Jacob came into my room yesterday just after I had gotten dressed. He took one look at me, then we had this conversation:

Jake: Mom, what are you wearing?

Me: My clothes

Jake: You mean, you're wearing THAT? (I had put on some jeans and a long-sleeved salmon-colored shirt)

Me: Yaaaaaaaa?

Jake: You always wear that. Can't you wear something different?

Me. Ok. Do you want to chose something for me to wear?

Jake: Sure... Let meeeeee seeeeeeeeeee.

(At this point, he walks over to Tyler's closet, and starts going through his clothes. I was laughing to myself at how cute & serious he was being.)

Me: Jake, my closet is over there.

Jake: Oh ya..... Now, let's take a look. (He then started flipping through all of my clothes).

I would expect this from my 7 yr. old daughter, but not Jake. He never actually picked anything out for me to wear, but I DID change my clothes. I guess even kids notice little things. He is too funny!

Abby the artist

Abby has really been into drawing lately. She pays close attention to detail, and wants everything she does to look perfect. She was learning all about Utah in school, and did this picture representing the state. Her teacher said she even stayed in from recess so she could make it look just right. She takes after her daddy!

Activity Day

I have the two greatest callings in the church... Playing the piano in Primary (which I have been doing for almost 5 years now), and Activity Days!! I was called a couple of months ago to teach the 8 year old girls, and I LOVE IT!!! They are such a darling group. I guess I am so in love with them because they are all Abby's friends. They are excited to come every week, and we have done some super fun activities. I need to post what we have done already. Abby doesn't turn 8 until April 6, but she gets to be a part of the group since it is at our home. She is in heaven that she gets that special treatment. I just snapped this pic of the girls last week having a lesson on manners. They did pretty well "pretending" to be proper. Girls will be girls.

As we all know, Dr. Seuss' birthday was nearly two weeks ago, but I had to post a pic of my little "Sneeches." They came up with the idea of what they wanted to go to school as, and put together their outfits all on their own. They said they were the only Sneeches in their grades.
