Fun Run

Gracie ran her heart out and a hole in our pockets at her school fundraiser today! She has been so excited about running her 35 laps. She did it with ease. I wish I had just a little of her energy!

Not Just Another Weekend!

It definitely wasn't like any other weekend. It was the best weekend ever!

Kristin, me, Dave, and Brad flew to Utah to drop my parents off at the MTC. We planned it all behind their backs. The surprise went over very well. Actually I would say they were shocked.

Kristin captured the best pics of their reactions. I don't ever want to forget their faces!!!

I was thinking of all the times they had dropped each of us off at the start of a new experience. Now it was our turn to do the dropping off.

Dad, you look so happy to finally be wearing the shiny black tag! Mom, I don't know that I've ever seen you without the smile!

I know how they have influenced my life. I can only imagine how many more lives will be changed. *Mom, no roller blading down the boardwalk!

I love you!!!

ETSY=MY HAPPY HEART

Etsy is my most favorite place in cyberspace! If there is another child in my future, would it be wrong for me to name her Etsy?!(cause we all know it would be a her)

I finally reached my 100th sale! I do have a blister on my finger to show for it!

My favorite part is coming up with the names for all my stuff!

I'm thinking I should probably blog or something?!!!

I had to stop and think of what my blogger username and password is so that I could get into this neglected website of mine.

Is it wrong for me to be posting Christmas pics in almost February? I think it probably is, but I need proof that it actually happened!

The following IS proof that we did experience Christmas and the entrance into a new year. It came and it went.

A few moments not to be forgotten.

***Grace and I went on a date to a local playhouse to see Cinderella.

We had a fun night with some other moms and their daughters!

Wicked Step Sisters

Fairy God Mother

*** Gingerbread Houses with Grandma T and Papa J

We love nothing more than being with Grandma and Papa

*** Three girls in Christmas dresses. It is quite the feat to get three little girls ready for church with cute hair. My hair probably looked questionable, but they looked cute!

*** This night was a favorite memory indeed. A few friends just getting together to sing Christmas songs at a care center two nights before Christmas.

*** This picture pose is a tradition. We wait on the stairs until we get the okay to move in and see if Santa really did come. I used to be the one sitting on the stairs, now I get to be the one taking the picture.
