Sweetie's 5th birthday!

Thanks Amanda for making a perfect cake just for my baby!

Our little girl turned 5 today!  She is the BEST, MOST CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE, FUN LOVING, SHOPPING BUDDY, AND SNUGGLELY CHILD.  Love her!

Cleaning the Mesa Temple Grounds

Our Deer Valley Stake - cleaning up the temple

Our family had the privilege to help pull weeds, plant and water flowers, and clean up the temple grounds one early Saturday morning in February.  It was a glorious experience to be there together as a family and I feel so blessed to share this. 

The cutest part was watching my soon to be 5 year old (her birthday was the next day) trace her fingers on the cornerstone of the year the temple was dedicated.  So precious.

Barnyard Hoedown - Spring Festival 2012

We displayed the art work in the bails of hay.  Too cute!

My friend and amazing creative artist did all of the advertisement for the Festival this year.  Didn't she do a GREAT JOB!  LOVE IT! 

High School Registration

This is Agent J and I getting ready to go to the High School one morning to register him for the coming fall.  SCARY! 
He is going to try to do honors algebra and honors science.  Plus seminary, band, spanish 1, and some kind of English class.  Can you tell I am writing this months after we did this and I can't remember the details anymore?  I do know that he is going to do marching band and football.  He will be one busy boy!  I am proud of him and scared that I have to let go of my baby!

heart hair with Sweetie

 One of my favorite hair blogs is here.  I enjoy having a child that will let me do her hair. 

She is so cute!

Preschool Vday

 My baby is growing up!

Valentine's at the school

decorating the room

 Our charter school has parties always on a Friday half-day of school.  No one wants to wait all day for a party, so we had these class parties on Feb 11.  It was nice to do the party early and focus on family of Feb. 14. 

outdoor 7th and 8th grade party

We served ice-cream and had cookie/banana splits at the 7th and 8th grade party.  It was a VERY labor intensive to scoop ice-cream for 47-8th graders and 75 - 7th graders.  YUCK!  Remind me to never do a banana split party again (Let's just say this wasn't my idea, but I followed thru like the champ I am). 

ICE CREAM - YUM
