What we have been up to lately…

It finally snowed and the kids have LOVED playing out in it!  Melanie is giving Jenna a ride on her sled and the neighbor boy was out playing too!

Green Smoothies.  Yum!  I whip one of these babies up every morning for my breakfast and Jenna insists on having one too.  She LOVES them!  I love the green moustache she gets every time.

After our dentist appt. in West Jordan last week we went over to the Nike Outlet store.  I went in with the intention of getting one pair of shoes for Cameron but walked out with 4 pairs.  The kids are all so excited to run in them.  Sunday afternoon they put on their shoes and put in one of my workout videos.  January 2012 016January 2012 017

The boys thought that looked pretty darn fun and put on their new shoes and worked out to!  About 20 mins after they were done Cameron said he felt so good!  He even asked me to wake him up in the morning so he could work out with me!

Melanie made treats for Family Home Evening.  Delicious chocolate/strawberry cake in her Easy Bake Oven.  It was delicious and the perfect serving size, a bite for everyone!

So cute. I loved their exercise routine together. Your kids are at such a fun age and I love you allow me to have a glimpse at their cute personalities.

Those excercise pictures are the best! That is so fun that they like the workout movies! I've been thinking of getting a workout movie. What is your favorite?

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 ...
