Ok, another great idea from Martha. I am going to make one for Megan and Daniel in colors that will match their rooms! How cute... Click here for the instructions.

I'm the Grand Champ!

Tonight at church we had a THROWDOWN competition for appetizers & desserts. I entered my Chocolate Truffle Pie and I won best overall! Yahooooooo!

"Snow" Much Fun

Yesterday we woke up to a little bit of snow! Megan of course had tons of fun running around the backyard and when she got tired she would just take a little break in her pink chair in the middle of the yard!

You Will Be Missed

Tonight President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. He was such a sweet man. He will be missed here on earth, but I can only imagine what his reunion was like in heaven... especially with his sweet wife, Marjorie.

Mt. St.Helens

Steen and my brother Andrew went up near Swift Reservoir the other day and took some amazing pics of Mt. St.Helens. Here's some of my favorites.

Little Best Friends

Megan the dancing princess

Abbie the ballerina fairy
Lauren and Daniel all bundled up for a stroll outside

On Monday Rebecca, Abbie, & Lauren came down and visited with us for the day. The girls danced lots, played hard, caused a little bit of trouble, and had way too much fun together. Lets just say - we are all very pooped out by the end of the day!


The dancing duo:

Em's Wedding Pics

So here are some of the professional pics of Emily's wedding. They got lucky and were able to take some pics outside between rain showers. The temple grounds and Emily & Golden look great!

Mr. Bubbles

Yesterday we were at the store in the health & beauty section and Megan spotted a big bottle Mr. Bubbles! She immediately knew what the bottle was for and asked in such a sweet way if I would get it for her. Off course I gave in and said yes. (I usually just use a tiny squirt of her shampoo to make bubbles which is lame cause they only last for a few minutes!) We got home from the store at lunch time and all I could hear about during lunch was how much she wanted to take a bath cause she was "yucky"! I told her that after nap and dinner she could take a bath. So of course the second we were done with dinner -- we headed upstairs to her bathroom to take a Mr. Bubbles bubble bath. She had lots of FUN!!

My Vacuum Cleaner

Daniel has been my little vacuum cleaner for the past few days. He gets to eat Cheerios and rice puffs throughout the day and he's figured that he can have leftovers by crawling over to the bottom of his highchair. It makes my sweeping at the end of the day a little easier!! Sometimes he gets stuck under the highchair as you can see in the pics. He's a cutie!

Oh Yeah!!

Last night I'm sure you all tuned in to watch AI in Philly. Click here to watch a Philly highlight video. Tonight they go to Texas, and as they say in Texas -- Don't Mess with Texas!!

Tornado!

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A rare tornado touched down Thursday in a residential area of Vancouver, downing power lines, uprooting trees, tossing shopping carts into cars and causing moments of fear. Kind of CRAZY!! Click here to see some pics and read a news article from channel 2 news out of Portland.

The Cooking Queen

Little Miss Megan loves to help me cook in the kitchen. Tonight we made a few blueberry pancakes and she was quite the big helper. She is going to be a cook just like her Mommy!
