On the Ranch

Papa took Landen around on the back of the lawn mower to see all the animals at Rob's house. The kids loved playing in the HUGE puddle in the drive-way.

Friends

Here are Cindy and Deborah! Thanks for taking me to lunch. I had a really fun time even though the kidos were a little CRAZY!

Happy Birthday to ME!

I had a really good birthday. On Saturday, Doug took me to PF Chang's. On Sunday, we went to church where the primary sang me Happy Birthday (soooo sweet), then my parents and brother brought me lunch and cake (YUMMY)! On Monday, two of my bestest friends came down to take me to lunch and shopping. I am definitely spoiled...and loving it!!

CKU...WoooWhooo!

After a lot of agonizing stress and worry I am an official CKU student. In June I will be heading to Anaheim where I will be scrapping for 4 days and 3 nights. What is even better is I will be with my friend/sister-in-law Misty, and other friends Lori and Brooke. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Even though I have every craft book and teacher book in the world I still have a difficult time finding things for both Landen and Serenity to do. I read them The Very Hungry Caterpillar and then let them paint and make their own caterpillar out of an egg carton. They loved it and were so proud of their little critter.

That same night...Daddy put Serenity's ladybug tent together. The kids love it...Mom isn't real thrilled that it takes up the entire living room, but it will be o.k. for a little while.

Happy Birthday Great Grammie!

Great Grammie and Rassie came over so we could celebrate Grammie's birthday. We had lots of fun hanging out together.

Here is a picture of us at CBS after attending the PRICE IS RIGHT. Jason is the guy on the far right...he actually got to Come On Down...March 29th is the day it will be aired. Can't wait!!!!

Our morning didn't start out too well. We got a flat tire 10 minutes out of Bakersfield. Thankfully, Misty's brother came to our rescue and we made it on time!!!

The Happiest Place on Earth

I've been putting off a vacation to Disneyland because the kids are so young, but after the past week of Misty finding out all the bad news about her dad I booked the vacation. My parents and brother will be joining us in April on our journey to the Happiest Place on Earth! I can't wait!

Forgiveness

I am speaking in church on Sunday and my topic is forgiveness. A topic that is near and dear to my heart because of something that happened in my life. I really want to share my testimony of forgiveness because it is such an amazing one, but it has to do with such a hard thing in my life that I don't know what to do. I know that the spirit will guide and direct me on what to say...at least that is what I have been praying for since the day I was asked to speak!

When It Rains It Poors...

My super duper friend Misty, who also happens to be my sister-in-law, is definitely getting soaked!!!! She just found out that her Daddy's cancer has gotten A LOT worse. He just came home from the hospital today and they have called hospice. She is extremely close with her Daddy and I can ONLY IMAGINE what she is going through. Today her daughter, who is 3, starting throwing-up, hence the pouring!!!! Misty is such a strong and amazing woman. She is going through so much and yet I received a thank you note from her in the mail today! Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. Every night Ren prays that Izzy's Papa feels better...we do too! Love you guys!!!

Come on Down!

Yes I did hear those words...not for me, but for Jason Casper (a friend)!!! It was so AWESOME!!! What an experience and one I will remember for the rest of my life. The show will air on March 29th!!! What is even more amazing is that the Today show was there doing a story on the show and Bob Barker since he is retiring. So that will be airing sometime after the 29th. Can't Wait!!! I will post pictures soon!

Serenity loves when Hannah comes over to play. Hannah's mommy just had a baby so we had Hannah over on Monday. They had fun coloring and playing together. Landen had fun too!
