Christmas Eve

It is a tradition in our family to have PJs for Christmas eve. This year I also let them open the scrapbooks that I had made for 08-09- as an afternoon "you've got the house cleaned up good job" reward. Here are the pictures- Since our family have been into dress our stuffed animal mode lately I did make matching PJs for our stuffed animals too. (well didn't get Jared's finished, but we improvised)

Samantha's Birthday

We went to Build a Bear for Samantha's Birthday. This time I took pictures of the experience. We ate at the Village Inn (had a lousy waitress- though) By the time we got home the little boys were asleep so we had her cake the next day. Happy Birthday Sam.

Sarah's Baptism

I didn't take many Pictures of Sarah's Baptism- That makes me feel bad, but here are are ones I did take. later that Evening we went to SLC and to Temple Square.

Sarah's Party

Sarah's Birthday Party "who Ate the Birthday Cake?" Similar to Clue JR Game that my kids love we had Blue Balloons with clues and Yellow Balloons with Clues in various parts of the house and the idea is to Rule out Who (in my family) and the Time that it occurred. It was Chaotic and yet everyone seemed to have fun. Everyone Received Detective badges and a detective bag with gear in it. The Birthday Cupcakes had magnifying glasses in them. Later that night we Celebrated as a family. Our family cake I made it look like a magnifying glass. We went to Build a Bear and McDonald's for the Birthday dinner (chosen by the birthday girl). Happy 8th Birthday Sarah.

Finally Halloween Posts

This Year our ward had a Trick or Trunk- Samantha had a soccer game and Jordan went with Dad and Sam to it. Then we carved pumpkins and that night it snowed. Finally We went trick or treating at Mainstreet Tooele.

Some days are like that

Ever have the days when it seems like all you end up doing is making more work for yourself? I was working on the calendar for the upcoming year. Getting pictures to put on the corresponding months, all it seemed to be that I ended up accomplishing is getting frustrated. Then I came to realize that I could have done to save myself time and aggravation, was 2 simple steps and not the 10 frustrating ones I was taking. I guess some days are like that. I guess that some days we are simply trying to hard to push through, when there is better way to get around from point A to B.
