Seattle wedding

Jared's youngest brother Justin got married this weekend. Maya was the flower girl and Ender was the ring bearer. Maya had wings on to look like an angel.

Oregon Coast

My brother Abby Baby came out from Utah with his girls M. and M. We had such a great time visiting with them. We had a fire on the beach, swimming at the pool and an aquarium visit. The picture above is Ender touching a shark

We love you Abe and girls!

Ender' School mailbox

I do like the Beavers. Do you know when you grow up are you going to like the Beavers?

Hi! Your last name is cool. Meet me at the swings.

Wow I want to be a kid again! These are letters that Ender's friends sent to his classroom from the office mailbox. Jared sent him one today that Ender thinks might be asking him if he likes guitar hero or star wars legos better. We will see tomorrow if he is right.

It's fabulous to be five

We just had the most fabulous week of celebration for Maya's 5th birthday. Maya and I made truffles, bows, lip gloss' and soaps for our friends and family. Thanks Aunt Dawn for the two day truffle extravaganza. Maya's favorite things at five are just that baking and crafting. We are two peas in a fabulous crafting pod. She got scrap booking and beading supplies from me for her birthday. We will put it to good use and hopefully you will all be seeing the fabulous fruits of our labors in the near future pictured hear. Happy Birthday Duzi. You are my favorite girl ever.

Wild Momma's

Hooray for good friends! I had such a blast rock banding with you girls. ROCK ON!!!!

growing up fast

Ruthie said to me "honey you go to bed one night and you wake up the next morning and all your kids have moved out" with tears in her eyes and an old picture in her hand. Thank you Ruthie for always, always, always showing and teaching me to be a mom. Love you so much.

crazy new years party

Take a look at all the wild peps we range in the new years with. I think 2009 is going to be a good one. Nothing but love.
