SHE MADE IT!!!

This last week, Kamarin spent many hours at cheer leading clinic. She was trying out with about 85 other girls. And....drum roll please.....She made Winter Cheer Squad. We are soooo proud of her. She worked really hard & tried to do all that was asked of her at the clinic. When we get pix of her in action, I will post them...until then, how 'bout a cheer?

VETERAN'S DAY VISIT

The kids were out of school yesterday...for cub scouts we decided to make a visit to the Temple Visitor's Center. They are having a great exhibit of the prints in the Book of Mormon. The kids enjoyed the Temple grounds too. As you can see, it is hard to keep Everett from climbing on everything. We started planning the outing with 4 other families...but by the time we got to the temple we were down to only 2. The kids were very interested in the display of Book of Mormon's & all of the many languages that it has been translated into. What an eye opener, to see the different alphabets used in other languages.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC

For the most part, my kids enjoy being together. This is just one of the priceless moments, when they sit and enjoy each other's company. The boys always love to hear Kamarin on her guitar. They sat in the front room just listening to her play for about an hour one night. I love these kids!!!

NO LIGHT SABER NEEDED

It was a crazy daring thing, to switch to the dark side...but something I have always wanted to try.

TIME OUT FOR WOMEN & GIRLS

I always love spending time with Kamarin...this Saturday we were able to attend a conference together. I usually attend this conference each year with my girlfriends. The day is always uplifting & I leave rejuvenated, ready to be a better mother, wife sister & daughter. This year it was for women & girls! So off we went. The speakers were phenomenal & although the day started out with a bit of attitude from the younger member of our party...by lunch time it was all good. Thanks for going bug!!


Oh, & I suppose I should make a comment about my hair...I have recently gone to the dark side. It is such a huge contrast to the blond I was born with. Kinda brave of me, huh?
