Sister Friend

Today in Primary Sister Friend came for a visit.  She always has the best lessons prepared for Sharing Time and the kids LOVE to have her come.  Today she gave them pictures to create stick puppets.  Brynlee was so excited.  She came home and got her's done and then had to create a "puppet theatre"  to give the lesson for Family Home Evening with her stick puppets.  The story of 1 Nephi 17 (Nephi building a ship)
She worked on preparing her lesson all afternoon.  I think we're in for quite a treat tomorrow!

I'm back! I guess maybe now that I have a camera I ought to start blogging again. Lots of time has past and so I might have to do an up-to-date post but that will have to wait for now. The kids have grown and I can't believe a month from today Bryn will be 8 and getting baptized. Crazy how fast they grow.


After years of fighting it, I finally consented to family pictures. One thing I truly dread. Not because I don't want to have memories of the kids but just because I don't want to have to look at me! Kinda selfish huh! So, we recruited my sweet sister-in-law, Dana to take our pictures for us and I think she did a pretty great job. What do ya think?





Aren't my kids soo cute!! Sure do love them!


I'm going to have to visit with my blogger friends and get some lessons on this stuff. Not very good and kinda boring don't ya think!!! :)

So here we are, summer's almost over and I haven't posted anything. To my defense, my camera is out of working order and we don't know what has happened. I do have some pictures from Brynlee's Kindergarten program and etc that I still need to get uploaded to the computer. So maybe in the days to come, before school starts, I will get them on and can do a post. So sorry for the lack of activity!!!!

Summer Challenge

So my little creative Brynlee love's trying to figure out new things to make with a cereal box. She has made a guitar out of a cereal box and just the other day she was munchin on some Apple Jacks and said "Mom, I think I'll finish these and then make a backpack out of the box." Sure enough not a half hour later she had her duck tape, some scissors, the cereal box and her little creative mind at work. She made the two straps and a hook/handle for her backpack. She then declared she was finished. Well the next morning she decided it needed a little something, so before school she took her pink and purple duck tape and proceeded to cover the whole backpack with duck tape, alternating the colors. Then she asks me if I thought kids would make fun of her if she wore it for her backpack. I told her I didn't know. So she took the plunge and wore it to school that day. We picked up her friends to take them to school and one of them jumped in the car and said "cool backpack Bryn." She got to school and the rest of the kids loved it including the teacher. Within two days one of the boys in her class showed up with his own cereal backpack with a single side strap. Pretty Cool!!! She amazes me with her creativity. Maybe she was meant to be my sisters kid. :0) To bad I won't give her up!!!!!
O. K. so here's the challenge, Dave suggested to Brynlee the other day that she ought to try and write a "book" and call it "101 Ways To Use A Cereal Box" she has the first two, anyone want to throw in some ideas? Just send them our way and I'm sure Bryn will LOVE to try them out!!!!! (P.S. My camera is on the fritz so as soon as it starts working again, I'll post some pics!!)

Wow I'm slacking again. It's been awhile since I've posted anything. I don't have any new pictures of what we've done, so ya just get a bunch of words, words, words.!!!!!!! It was a pretty busy week, couldn't keep up with anything, especially my housework. Friday we went to the temple and Dal and Brynlee got to stay at Ben and Kim's house for the night. Dave and I came back home and spent Saturday morning cleaning the house and then we went to St. George to pick up the kids and go to Pirate Island for my cousin's husbands b-day party. We spent the afternoon shopping and enjoying the nice weather in St. George.
