Blog update...

Okay-lately I feel like this is another thing on my to-do list that I keep moving to the next day. I used to enjoy this so much and blog-stocking all of my friends but lately I can't seem to find the time to do anything. I read a friends blog recently that said this is how we remember the good and the bad...this is what reminds us to take a picture when are kids make a mess and makes laugh about it. This is so true...my kids love to look at our blog book and laugh and remember the the last year of your life....so I am recommitting myself to documenting my life good or bad, funny or boring! My family is the most important thing in my life and this blog helps me document that, its also proof that I am not the meanest mom in the entire world contrary to popular belief :-) Okay....that is my soap box for today.

Paige's baptism

This was such an amazing day for our Paiger! She has been looking forward to this for weeks. Ryan baptised Paige on Valentine's day. She got her own set of scriptures with her name on the front and was very proud. She looked so pretty in her white dress. This was such a special day, we love you Paige and are so proud of you!

Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Riley's class had an ice cream sunday social...it was yummy and then they played some games. Paige's class had ice cream sundays too, exchanged valentines and watched a movie. Hayley's class exchanged valentines and decorated cookies with a mommy helper and had special juice made by Mrs. Eversole. With Sadie being so crazy these days I didn't get to stay for long but it was fun to drop in on their Valentine's parties!

Hayley's first soccer game

Hayley had her first soccer game on saturday. She does not usually like to try different things but a few of her firends were playing soccer and she decided to try it. She had a little anxiety at first (actually a lot she was thinking about now going to the game at all) but once the game started she was amazing. She scored 4 goals out of 5 total for the team. She jumped right in there and went after the ball. Great job hayhay! You were amazing!

Baptism invites

These invites turned out so cute. I can hardly believe that my Pager is turning 8 already. She is getting baptised on Valentine's Day.

Feburary Pac Meeting

Riley is a Bear now...and he has really enjoyed scouts. This mont for pac meeting the theme was Amercian ABC and we had to make a cake and decorate it! Awsome...if you were creative which I am not. We decided on an outline of the United States wiht red stripes, he did a great job. We love you Riley bug!

A little side note for pac meeting...sadie loves it because she gets to eat a bunch of random things like a hot dog and not be in her high chair.

Field trip to the Bear Factory

Of course she is closest to the bear...she was so excited to go there!

Her and Carter got to ride in the back together...so cute!
On Friday, Hayley got to go the the Bear Factory in Phoenix. They get to watch how bears are stuffed and made and get to make one of their own. She had so much fun...although I was not able to go, a friend took these great pictures. She was so excited because her good friend Hallee who is in 1/2 day kindergarten go to come on the field trip too.
