Happy Birthday Tay!!!

My little Tay turned 7 today! We had a family party on Tuesday before Matt left for Tonga, and she had her friend party today! We went to a little Tea House and had a Tea Party. I took pics at our house, but of course I left the camera at home so no pics at the Tea Party except with my cell phone. Happy Birthday Taylor! I love you!!!

FlashBack Friday

So for my flashback pic I chose one of Matt and Oakley. Every time we were at the beach Oakley would ask Matt to throw her up in the air! She loved it! In this picture we were spending the weekend in Oahu and this was at Waikiki Beach. It was such a great day with the kids. They did alot of swimming and jumping off the pier into the ocean. He is such a great dad!

Scissors Attack!!!!

So if you have read my posts before, you will remember that my daughter got ahold of my Professional Scissors and cut her some very nice bangs a few months ago. They are just about down to her eyebrows finally.

If you have read my post before this one, you will also remember that I mentioned my children get a little crazy when Matt is traveling out of town. So here it goes...... Within the first two hours of us being up Thursday morning, Oakley managed to paint my craft table with nail polish, color my craft table with a black pen and cut her hair. I went into the bathroom and saw my scissors on the counter. I had cut Parker's hair a few days before and could have sworn that I put them away. A few minutes later I noticed hair in the garbage. A nice big chunk about 4 inches long. I asked Oakley where she had cut her hair and she couldn't remember. I went through it and couldn't find it. Later we were at a friend's outside and I looked at Oakley and noticed a big spot of missing hair right on the side!!!! Dang that girl! When she cuts, she cuts good!!!! All I can say is I guess she wants to be a Hairstylist REALLY bad!!!

Loving my man

So Matt left this morning to go work on the Oakland Temple. It was a surprise trip and I was kinda bummed because he will be leaving a week from Thursday to go work on the Tonga Temple. Not to mention he was up in Logan last week working on the temple there. (We did get to go stay with him for 2 days). But I wanted a few extra days to hang and do a family party with Tay since he will be gone for her birthday.

I don't mind that he travels, but our kids seem to get a little wilder when he is gone which can get old real fast. So this weekend I was kinda pathetic and having a little pity party for myself.

While I am doing this, here is what my husband did for me:

1.Got a snow blower from his dad and tuned it up so that it is working and I won't have to shovel the snow. (The first day he was in Logan I shoveled over 6 inches, and another 4 the next day.)

2.Put new hardware on my front door that has a lock so the kids can't open it and let the puppy out. (As we were leaving to Logan, Tay let her out and it took me 1/2 to get her back home.)

3. Properly installed our doggie door. (I put it in when I went to Logan, but not very well.)

4. Checked the oil in my car, put air in my tires.

5. Took us all out to a nice dinner Saturday night.

6. Spent alot of time in the laundry room with me folding clothes for his trip.

7. Reminded me of how blessed we are that he HAS a job, let alone a great one. (He does have a awesome job, with a awesome boss, and awesome co-workers.)

Need I say more? I was telling him thanks for all he did and he acted like it was no big deal. It was a huge deal to me that he cares so much for my needs that instead of relaxing for his 2 days before flying out, he spent it doing things for me. I love him so much and I feel really lucky to be married to such a great guy.

Thanks!!!!

Going Private

So today at church we had this awesome lesson about the Internet. Mostly it was about Facebook, Myspace and Blogging. It was so great to hear what other's think and it was great to be able to share with other's why I have a Facebook and Blog. After that lesson though I feel like I would be a better parent if I went to Private. I believe that if you dwell on things, they will happen. I am not necessarily afraid for our family's safety, but I do know that I would do anything to protect my kids. This is the only time that I am going to put much thought into this because I am not going to dwell on it and attract something to happen. So here you have it:) Please send me your info so I can add you to our list because I love seeing everyone's families grow up and I love sharing with you new things about my family. This is the best way for me to keep a journal and I love it!
