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!

School Festival


I learned alot from the whole school festival experience! The biggest thing was to read the fine print on the paper sent home from school. We spent more money than we should have and basically walked away with purple and green hair. I can't say it didn't go to a good cause. The boys go to a wonderful school and Julia will be there soon enough. Of course the main thing was...we were together and the kids had fun! Oh and the principal is the one standing with Samuel in the bottom left corner.
That would be Mr. Cooey. The kids really like their principal.

Julia the Easter Chick

Easter Egg Hunt Attendies

Easter Scrapbook Page



So I am feeling a little creative since being taught this digital scrapbooking! I have another page to do for Julia! But I thought I would share what I have done so far.
We had a fun filled Easter Weekend! Our weekend was kicked off with the Primary Easter Activity on Friday! The boys went on a campout with dad on Friday night and Julia got to sleep over with Granny & Papa! I enjoyed a book club meeting and an evening with myself. I appreciate my little bits of time alone!
On Saturday evening we took the kids to the beach to fly kites and watch the sun set!
Sunday couldn't have been better as we went to church and heard beautiful music and lessons of the Savior! My parents joined us at the Smith home for a nice Easter meal and egg hunt! I am ready for a vacation again!

Stawberry Pickin


I love the strawberry fields in Baker, FL. It was a little colder this day than last year when we went. Jennifer and her girls, and Leslie and her girls met up with us to do some pickin. We all enjoy getting some strawberry shortcake dessert and yogurt. I took these pretty pictures with Leslie's camera and boy I really love the clarity of the images.
