Happy 30th Birthday Amber!

My sister Amber turned 30 on March 6th. We invited her over for a yummy chicken enchilada dinner, cake and ice cream. It was fun to hang out and share her birthday with her.

Happy Birthday Amber. We love you!

Boise School District Elementary Choral Festival

Good job Rylee!


Capital Quadrant Concert

Rylee is in the Horizon choir this year. She recently performed a duet at the Music Festival and sang at this Elementary Choral Concert. There were 6 Boise elementary choirs and the Fairmont Jazz Singers who performed that night.

Here's Rylee and friends after the concert.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

I started doing a pre-school co-op with some mom's in my ward. At the beginning of the school year we organized which letters, colors, numbers and theme we would do each month. It just happened that we all had girls the same age, so there are only girls in the pre-school class. This has been fun, because we can go really girly sometimes. Our theme for next month is Princesses and fairy tales. Now, how fun is that?! ---Dr. Suess's birthday was on Monday- March 3rd. So we colored hats and did activities about Dr. Suess and the books he wrote. It was a lot of fun.

Here's Abree's pre-school class with their "Dr. Suess Hats" on.

We read "Green Eggs and Ham" and then ate some green eggs and ham. I was surprised how brave the girls were at eating the GREEN eggs. I guess they got the point of the story.

We also played put the green eggs on the green ham (basically pin the tail on the donkey).

We read, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" and then made "Oobleck". This is crazy stuff. When you go to pick it up it feels solid and then instantanously it goes to liquid and starts dripping out of your hands. It's messy, but fun.

For a treat we had cupcakes (with crazy candles) and little "Cat in the Hat" hat cookies.

I DID IT!

I'm so proud of myself. I actually got this all set up with a cute background and everything. Look out now, cuz I'm on a roll... hopefully it will last.
(Jaime are you clapping for me??? Thank you, thank you very much.) :o)

Diaper Cake

I love crafty, cute things. When I stumbled over some instructions on the internet, on how to make a diaper cake, I thought I'd give it a try. I decided to keep it simple for my first attempt and get more ellaborate as I go on. Many I've seen are packed with cute wonderful things for babies (toys, blankets, onesies, bottles, binkies, bathing supplies and more). So here's my first attempt. What do you think?

Destiny or Bad Luck?!

So I've started to get really excited about this blog thing, but every time I sit down to update and dedicate time to adding pictures, making a cute background, etc. my computer or something doesn't cooperate. I've sat down 3 times seriously to do this, but the computer has frozen up or the disk drive wouldn't work, or I couldn't find my pictures or something else weird has happend. Am I not destined to blog??? I'm starting to wonder.
