Gingerbread Men....

We tried our hand at "Gingerbread" cookies the other day.

Here they are fresh out of the oven, and ready to decorate

Kenzie really wanted to help.

Erin decorating her's, with some frosting.

Kai made sure he had just the right color M&M's for his.

It was alot of Fun...and here are the finished "Men". We saved some to decorate another day.

Happy Anniversary

29 Years of Wedded Bliss....Ya right! Well most of it anyway.....

I married a Man who is the most easy person to get along with. I love that he puts up with all my nonsense. I love that he loves me even when I am grouchy. I love that he doesn't roll his eyes too much when I change my mind (which can sometimes be a lot). I love that he loves our children. I love that he so helpful and supportive with Erin (cuz I couldn't do it without him) I love that he is an AWESOME Grandpa. I love that he kisses me every day before he leaves for work and when he gets home. I just plain love this man!

Baptisms

I love Baptisms.

I always have. There is just something about an 8 year olds understanding of the gospel and the ability to choose right from wrong.

I love that I got to watch my baby brother baptize his little girl last Saturday.

Murry & Shay

One of "Those" days!

You ever had one of those days where you wished you would have just stayed in bed?

That day was today.

We are re-doing the bathroom because the shower has never worked and the tub is not "Erin Friendly" meaning she has a hard time getting in and out.

So when we turned off the main water to the house and turned it back on.....it started to leak. So we called a plumber.

Then Qwest told us our phone lines are not hooked up to the outside. So we called back the electricians.

In the middle of it all the Home teachers showed up and gave a lesson on gratitude.....hmmmmm!

I still think we should have stayed in bed!

But on a cute note: I was talking to Mandy and said "uh oh lets not open that can of worms" and Kai wanted to know if they were Real worms or Pretend worms? I just love kids! Especially Grandkids.

Lights

Whew........We (actually Bruce) with a some help from Kai & Erin got the lights up on the house before we got hit with a HUGE Snow Storm.

Its a good thing we had the "Muscle" (aka ...KaiBear) here to help us.

Kai was so excited to help Grandpa Bruce. There are 2 rules when helping. 1st one is to Listen. 2nd one is to stay right by grandpa. Kai did good with both rules!

I'm so lucky to have a Hubby who will put up lights on the house, and take direction from the ground crew, without too many eye rolls!

Kai loved that he could carry the lights on his back and climb the ladder at the same time.

And we couldn't have done it with out Miss Erins help....she did a great job helping me put the clips on the lights.

The Light Crew did an awesome job....Thanks

Finally

I finally gave in.

Bruce dragged me down to Best Buy. We bought a new computer.

The kids gave me some gift cards for my birthday with specific instructions that they could only be used towards a new computer. It is going to take me awhile to get used to the new computer. But so far I love this new computer!

Such a cutie....

Kai is always so good to let me snap a few pictures when he comes over. Which I love love love!

He has the cutest smile....


And the cutest nose...

And the cutest personality.....BUT when.....

He is done...HE IS DONE!

Oh well it was fun while it lasted!
