Turtely

Samuel found this cute baby turtle. He found him near the mailbox just before Caleb dug up the grass while doing some landscaping! He was so small it is amazing that he was even spotted. We had been thinking about keeping for a pet but then after a week I found out that they can be carriers for salmonella. YUK! So we told the kids he really needed to find his way back home. Nicholas was so sweet. He is so gentle with little creatures. He watched him till he couldn't see him anymore. I'm learning more and more about the phrase "never say never". I used to say I would never want pets. WRONG! We tried out Lucky (bless him) and now we have Brownie, the guinea pig and we have Fishy! We almost had Turtley! Did you catch the similarties of the all the names "e or y" sounds!! Makes me laugh!

Pictures with the Kids

When I saw all the pictures that Caleb took of me and the kids I had to post!
That was all I wanted on Mothers Day! See for yourself what we ended up with!

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day! So I've been treating this weekend like it is my birthday! I have really enjoyed myself. I am feeling just a tad spoiled. Caleb sent me some flowers yesterday. He also took me out for a night alone. Caleb also sent his mom and my mom some flowers too! (He really earned some brownie points for that!) I wanted to share a little poem that I copied onto a 4x6 for the children in Primary to do tomorrow for their mothers. I thought it turned out super cute. I got the poem off Sugardoodle that someone had posted. TOO CUTE!

Birthday Card

I created this birthday card for Leslie's little ones. I like how it came together. The Photoscape program I am using is pretty user friendly. If I can get creative like this I know anyone can. Just wanted to share.

Hannah Montana

This morning on the way home from spending the night at Granny's house a conversation quickly turned to Hannah Montana. My mom began to talk with my dad about how the rain falling in Kansas was up to about 5". My dad said "well 5ft of snow got dumped on Montana!" Julia screamed and said "On Hannah Montana...oh my goodness?" No, they quickly told her they were talking about the state of Montana! She is still a little confused.

New Font

I can't believe it...but I just followed a butt load of directions from a font website to get this lovely new font on my blog. I hope you all like the header font because it took me forever! Well, really only about 30 mins....but I could have been sleeping instead.

Moms Birthday

We had fun going to dinner with mom for her birthday. We we went to the Okki hibachi and we had an amazing chef. Obviously he helped set the tone for the evening. When he heard it was moms birthday he went all out. He had his guitar brought out and he sang about 3 songs to her that evening. How fun! During the onion volcano he had us sing Happy Birthday and at the end of the night the entire staff sang Happy Birthday in japanese. I know mom enjoyed herself and we had tons of fun seeing her so happy!
