Happy Birthday Grace!!

Grace celebrated her birthday while we were in Cleveland visiting Telisa and Bodie. We went out to breakfast, shopped at the Dollar Store, (10 gifts for $10.00!!!! Can't beat that!!) went to a georgous bakery where they make gourmet cakes- Grace picked her favorite, went out to lunch and then came home and watched "Camp Rock"!! Grace was super excited and grateful.

Bodie and Grace

Every waking hour for Bodie, he needed to be near Grace!! She was so cute and tender with him!

Our last day in Cleveland!

We went to the Science Museum, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a Bahama Restaurant in downtown Cleveland! It was a great way to end our little adventure. Thank you Telisa for your hospitality! Thank you Grace for being a perfect angel the whole time!!!!

Service Project for Haiti

As all of you have seen in horror and disbelief, the destruction in Haiti, our family felt prompted to do a VERY small part to help out. We made Hygiene Kits which the Humanitarian Center will ship off to the shattered country . They consisted of two hand towels, two combs, four toothbrushes, one tube of toothpaste, two bars of soap. Not much, I know, but we needed to do something. Sara mentioned she and her young women went the the Humanitarian Center for a tour. They told the girls that the recipents of the kits are most excited about the ZipLock bag it comes in. They cherish it for years! Yeah, we're pretty spoiled here. Now, I wish I could find good families for about a million orphans.

Super Bowl Sunday!! 2010

As you probably all know who read this post, I am not a big sports fan, but my FAMILY is! So anyone who wanted to watch the big game on Grandpa Den's new TV was invited to come and enjoy the game along with lots and lots of food! Quick rundown: we missed the Beus', Kim, Whit and Mylee, the Cleveland Van Leeuwens and Adam! Tara was feeling very pregnant, Owen loves to move it, move it, the dress up clothes are a hit for my little princesses, I remembered why I stopped buying red soda pop and the Saints won!

Girls Craft Night!! 2010

This year we made headbands, embellished t-shirts and ate lots of yummy food! When the ladies get together, we tend to get a little nuts!! We missed Sara Bell who was off to St. George to run a half marathon!! You go girl!!

January Activities or Let's see how many things we can fit in while Telisa is here!

Get Your Head in the Game!!!

For the last two Christmas' our children have given each other an evening of games, food and laughter with no little ones on board! There was literally no days available during the month of December, so unfortunately we had to have the game night after Clay returned to Cleveland. It was a blast!!! But we missed you Clay!!
