Fun Weekend and Jenna's Blessing

Alise came down this weekend again. It is always fun to get together with her! She colored and cut my hair and I cut hers too. That is pretty much all that we got accomplished other than preparing and eating meals! But we had so much fun!!
Alyssa loved to come and lay by Damon and talk to him. Damon loved it too!
Jenna must have known today was her special day. She was such a good girl during pictures that we took before church and slept most all of church. I was really nervous she was going to poop on her dress, spit up on her dress, cry and be fussy or SOMETHING!! But she really was so happy and David did a great job on her blessing!
Love my girls!! This is going to be FUN in a few more years!!



Oh boy. The family picture. Cameron for some reason was mad Dad made him wear a tie. He always wears a tie so I don't know what the problem was today. When that kid is mad about something, his mind is not easily changed. Jason wasn't happy either.
Chuck and Carol drove up from St. George. We were sad not to have my parents here but they will be here for Cameron's baptism in April.


Taking all these pictures is tiring!

Carol bought these cute little shoes for Jenna to wear!

Absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful day. I'm so glad Alise got to come down and spend time with you. I love the picture with both of you. :) Jenna is a doll. Tell Cameron I think he and Jason are very handsome with their ties on. Melanie & Alyssa are the cute big sisters. I love your dress, Kira! We love you. Can't wait to see you in April at Cameron's baptism.

Love,
Mom & Dad

The sock monkeys look so cute. They did a great job. And your dress that you made looks awesome. It looks like my wedding dress:)
Also I was wondering if you had any blessing dress outfit patterns that I could use?

I am still in awe at your creativity and talent. I love the dress and I love your kids. They are so cute. I love what an amazing mom you are and how you can tell your kids are your life. You set such an example for me. Thanks for being willing to share.

So cute! I love how the dress turned out! Also, Kira you look AMAZING! It is hard to believe you have 5 kids you look just as young as you did in the BYU days! Have you found the fountain of youth? If you have, can you tell me where to find it because I'm ageing at a rapid pace!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
