Busy, Busy, Busy






Yes we are alive, it has just been busy crazy and not going to slow down anytime soon. I am so lucky to work from home, even though the kids still have to go to daycare, but this week I moved into the office as we are converting into a new computer system. Hopefully I will be back home at the end of the month. I have to be in Clearfield at 6am, so early to bed early to rise for us.
We have done some fun things too, Dinner with friend while Heidi was in town. Jazz Game with our best friends the Wards. Superbowl party at the Wards, then over to the Rays! Traditional frosting cookies for Valentines Day! Fun with making hair flowers and bead braclet/necklaces with the kids. Sledding fun for Bodies Birthday.
I just got called as the RS Leader in our Ward. I am excited to be more involved in RS. I am still teaching the CTR class that are turning 8 this year and I am so glad to be doing both, I would miss my 12 kids in my class if they were to release me. If time I will have to share some of the things we are doing. This month for the RS Birthday we are doing An Enchanted Night of Dresses. We are collecting dresses of all sized to donate to people who need them in the local area. I am pretty excited and reading the book The Hundred Dresses as well and it is so good. I am going to make a Dress Cake too, so that will be fun.
Jason had a court of honor last week and I made a Flag cake, it turned out pretty cute. It was cute Tanner came in and said, "I love the flag cake Mom, but the Stars are white, not yellow in the real flag!" opps!! Well even if it were not exact it was cute & I thought it was cute he noticed that. Bry is cute as ever and she is having two baby girl friends from Marci having a baby girl and Jami having a baby girl too. She is excited to have babys to play with. The other day her nursery leader told me that she told her she was going to have a sister. I laughed and said "Well I may look prego, but NOPE! I am not, she is having two baby girl friend cousins, but not going to have a baby girl friend sister." We are training her to say cousins now rather then baby girl friend. We are done having kids as far as we know. Maybe I better start exercising to lose weight instead of gain weight!! hee hee
Another thing of shock, a friend, Gumey, I used to work with when I worked with at the Roy office passed away last week. He had a ear infection and then got a fever of over 107 and when rushed to the hospital he had a couple of seizers and had so much brain damage and passed away the next morning. He was one of the nicest peole I know, I don't know anyone that knew him that didn't like him, he always knew how to make a person smile & laugh. Wow you never know when it is going to be your time, really gives you a reality check of what really is important in life.
What is important to me? I would have to say my family. Not that I have the patients like I should, but they are most important to me, I can't imagine not having my cute kiddos. The Gospel is so important to me my friend who passed away was not a member of the church and I really don't know how people get through life or even day to day without the gospel, because it is everything to me, even with the simplest things I rely on my best friend, older brother, and Savior Jesus Christ. And knowing that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and has a plan of happiness, and even a plan for me!! God lives, Jesus is the Christ, I am so greatful to be a member of the restored church, and we are so lucky to have a living prophet on the earth today to help us through. Gospel is true-the people are not perfect-including me, but the gospel is perfect!!

My Baby Girl is 3


I can hardly believe my baby girl is 3, but she sure is and she is so much fun!! These are a few moments of her third year and some words when we think of her!!



We celebrated her birthday as a family then had cake and icecream on the weekend with family and of course I made her cake and it turned out very cute she loved it. When Tanner got out of school we got on frontrunner and took the kids to SL and Brylee got to build an animal at Build a Bear, she decided on a very cute horse. We then ate at the Sky Box Sports Grill and let them play the games and headed back home and open her presents, it was a fun family day. We are so greatful to have Brylee as a part of our family, it would not be compete without her!!

Visit to this Christmas Villiage of a Guy on Jason's Route it was Amazing!
I love the Season, lots of Joy, Family, Fun, Giving, & Love!! We love when family comes into town and we are able to spend time with them as much as we can. Ty was in town and I loved spending time with him and every moment we could we did that!! We did dinner, movies, games, more movies, chatting, eating, and just enjoyed being together. We always do Christmas Eve Dinner with the Jasons family and we did it at our house again, I love to be the Host! We had a great night! Grandma always makes a yummy breakfast for us on Christmas Morning and so we spend a little more time with the Rays before we head to the Bowens to spend the rest of the day with them. At the Bowens we open gifts together then get ready for the extended family to come over for a Turkey dinner and all the fixin's. We also do a White Elephant Exchange and have lots of laughs with that. We were able to spend some time with Spencer, Jami, Crew while they were in town and are so excited for a new cousin for our kids to play with too. Saturday we went out to Dinner and played at Fat Cats, and I think the Big Boys had just as much fun as the little kids did!! Sunday we had the last Dinner with Ty before he had to leave the Next day and Mom Ray gave us a Fondu Pot, so we were anxious to use it and it was a blast!!
We also had a fun get together with friends the week after Christmas, due to schedules many were not able to come, but it was fun with the ones who were able to come, Thanks Diana for Hosting!!
New Years Eve we always go to my Aunts in Huntsville and it is fun this year we went sledding, ice skating in the park, ate lots of food, and Rock Band of course!!
That was our Holiday Fun, we hope everyone had a save and Happy Holiday too!!
