Busy weekend! and productive...

In addition to making these bracelets, my mom and sister came into town Saturday and we made it to 3 bead stores, plus lunch, plus dinner. I didn't let them leave until 9pm! It was a blast!

Poor Brad

Nothing ever goes easy for the Brad. He had a routine dental check-up today and the dentist ended up finding an impacted baby tooth and had to pull it! Ouch! Poor dang kid! Tonight he seems to be past the trauma and excited for the financial windfall of the tooth fairy visit.

Halloween 2009

Halloween has come and gone, and this makes me happy.

As you can see, Brad went as Mario and Jordan went as a High School Musical Cheerleader.

Makenzie getting ready. This was the only photo that I managed to get of her before she flitted off to her 3RD Halloween party! End result = silver-haired, green faced, wart-covered witch.

St. George and Zions

On our way to...

We're heading down and taking the kids to St. George and Zions National Park this weekend. Pictures forthcoming, and probably a couple of new infamous quotes I'm sure.

Got my glitter toes today

This picture doesn't do them justice, they are way more sparkly and awesome! I highly recommend them.

My 9th grader

I know a mother is biased, but DANG! I think she's just beautiful!

Happy Birthday to Darren

It was Darren's 41st birthday today. Took him out for dinner at Pei-Wei's. I hope he enjoyed!

The re-makeover

Yes, another bedroom makeover, but this one should take. How did we ever live without a king-sized bed?

Mother's Day

Darren really hit a home run on my gift. He got me this cute flower stand. I just LOVE it! He also took me to Tepanyaki last night, my favorite. My cute Jordie made me the sweetest poster and card. I got some real 5-star treatment. It was a great day!

Congratulations Aaron and Jamie

My neice Jamie had her baby. David Porter Andersen was born May 6th. Looks like a cutie!

Makenzie's room redo

Here is Makenzie's room makeover. She's all about the lime green so I gave in and let her have it for her wall color. Pretty bright ay?

A Must See!

What an amazing show! This is the one to see. Good plot, great acting, incredible director. Trifecta!

Show and Tell

Jordan had show and tell this morning, so guess what she wanted to show and tell......oh yes, Dotty. So we took Dotty up to school and as soon as Jordan's classmates tried to pet her, she flipped out, jumped out of Jordan's hands and ran behind a heavy bookcase of course. The rest of the time was spent moving the bookcase to retrieve Dotty and getting dust all over my clothes. Ahhh, good times. I meant to take some real pictures at the school but it ended up being so chaotic.....so you just get this picture I found.
