Fun times

During the winter break from school we went to a University of Utah Women's Basketball game. We got to sit where ever we wanted and found some great seats in the front row. Swoop (Utah mascot) came and visited us, and B'Elana was invited to be part of the halftime entertainment.

New Year's Resolutions....

I don't usually put too much stock in New Year's Resolutions, but I am going to make a couple of them this year.

1. I will complete one scrapbook page per day. (I joined a Facebook group to help me with this one)

2. I am going to make sure that my health and the health of my family is more of a priority this year.

3. I am going to keep up better on my blogging, LOL!!!

I hope all of my family and friends have a happy, healthy 2010!

Holiday Stuff

I hope everyone of our family and friends had a great Christmas holiday. We had a fun and busy holiday season...complicated a little by my limitations from recovering from surgery. Oh and Facebook has my kept my attention a little more than it should LOL!

Updates

I've been thinking I need to update this for a while. We have been busy, busy busy! Since the last time the blog was updated, we have attended B'Elana's and Jason's football games, Deanna's swim meets, made a trip down to Cedar City for Shakespeare team, celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving, had cheerleading start heating up again and I had back surgery. Seems like there is never a dull moment in our family. Also, I managed to sell some of the page prints from D & L Photobooks, so Deanna and I have been exceptionally busy with that. That has been made harder by having to send my computer in for repairs more than once. Luckily I have a very generous husband who bought me a computer ( I think mostly so I would quit asking to use his!) I will post some of the tons of pictures I've taken later today or tomorrow. Then I will attempt to do all the holiday posts :)

First Day of School

On August 24, 2009 Deanna started the 8th Grade and B'Elana started 3rd grade. As usual it was bittersweet for me. I love seeing how grown up my girls are getting, but I always miss having them around. Good luck to both my girls this year. I know it will be a year of changes and challenges. I love you!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?

Today was the first day of practice for the 2009 season, and B'Elana's first day of real practice. Today was the last chance for her to make a final decision on if she really wanted to play or not. When she came back to us after, she still wanted to play. Notice the outfit....even if she is playing football, she's going to be all girl (pink shirt, pink shorts and pink butterfly cleats). Here's to my little girl trying something new.

13 and Fabulous!

Our baby girl turned 13 on July 10. Happy Birthday to our beautiful baby girl. We are so grateful that you are in our lives.

Here she is at one month old:


Dimples and curls...irresistible!
