Just wanted to share a cute little General Conference activity packet that you can put together for your kids and they can complete while watching Conference. This website, Sugardoodle. net, has been a lifesaver to me in my calling and for FHE.

Enjoy!

our weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend. Aaron hasn't had to travel in a month, it has been so nice to have him home!

Our neighbors Martel and Ardie Adams put on a neighborhood BBQ and Rodeo every year at their house. They have a corral and a huge backyard right in the middle of Chandler, it's really cool. The kids look forward to it every year.

Paige wore her favorite purple horse shirt and her new hat. I swear she would wear that shirt everyday if I let her...

Last night

Last night, the girls performed on DWTS. All I can say is that I really want a girl to win this year. They did really well last night. Here's my 2 cents:

Pricilla Presley- I was not expecting too much from her but she was elegant and did a great job.
Marlee- she was so inspirational...great job!
Shannon- She's good. Lucky for her, she has Derek for a partner. I'm telling you...he and Julianne can choreograph like no one else on that show.
Marissa- The Broadway Hairspray girl- she was happy and having so much fun.
Monica- Poor Monica. That girl can play some serious tennis but bless her heart, she can't dance. I feel bad, maybe she can get better...

My pick for this year is...

Kristy Yamguchi. And since Sabrina and Mark got shafted last year, I would like to see him win, too.That's all for now!

Paige has a crush on Derek Hough. She says he looks like Luke Skywalker...I always had a thing for Han Solo but that's just me :)

DWTS is back

The guys danced last night and the girls dance tonight. Here are my thoughts:

Jason Taylor- He's my favorite of the guys. I was surprised at how well he did. Mario did well too.
Adam Corolla might be the dark horse this year. He's got a fan base and he's got Julianne as his partner. Penn Jilette was fun to watch. He's not the best dancer but he was having fun and not taking himself too seriously, I liked that.

The girls are on tonight. I can't wait to see how Kristy Yamaguchi and Monica Seles dance. They both have a competitive drive and most likely an awesome work ethic...it'll be interesting! I'm kind of hoping a girl wins this year!

buried treasure

Our old computer was having some problems. I thought some of my earliest digital pictures were long gone. Last week, I fired the old thing up just to make sure and guess what?!

I found my pictures!

It was really like finding a buried treasure. Pictures that I had completely forgotten about are now found. I also found some priceless pictures I took of the kids with my Grandpa and some from his 80th birthday...it made my week!

So I thought I would share a couple. I know I've said this before but dang! Paige and Heston look so much alike!

I can't leave little Heston out, here's a picture I took this week of him. He's almost 19 months old and in Nursery now.

some Easter humor

1984 flashback

I just realized that I haven't blogged about Project Runway in a while. Are you still watching?! I'm so happy that Rami and Jillian are in the finals. I'm sad that this show is ending but we'll have Dancing with the Stars back.

I went into Braden's classroom to get some homework and Miss Bledsoe handed me this book. I said out loud, "Oh my gosh, I'm having a serious flashback!" Does anyone else when you see this?

I am such a nerd to take a picture of this but I thought it might be fun to take a trip down memory lane.

my dollar store find

I made this little book for Allison, she was one of my Achievement day girls and she's babysitting the kids tonight. I called her yesterday ( short notice) and not only did she say yes but she said, "I'd love to." How adorable is that?! She's a sweetheart.

I got this little 6x6 album at the dollar store last summer. I just used some paper from my stash, stamped a few of the pages so she could journal, tied on some ribbon and that's it! I used my Cricut (Base Camp) to cut out her name. The little dot on the "i" I've had in my stash for a while, it worked out great.

Just wanted to share this with you in case you're looking for a gift idea or want to make one for yourself. I'm always on the lookout for fun, easy and fast projects. I've been on a crafty roll the past 2 days...Aaron's home from China so he can help with the kids. yeah!
