Happy Birthday to my "Sweet 16" Jadyn!!

I have had so many mixed emotions everytime I have thought of Jadyn's 16th B-day through out this last year. Its finally here and I still have so many emotions. I am so excited for her to get to do the things she has been dying to do like: drive a car, date, get a job, have a little later curfew on weekends, and feel more responsible for herself. But I am also sad that 16 years has already gone by. We only have a couple more years left with her at home and with all those exciting things happening it means less time at home with us already. It makes me cherish every second we get to spend with her at home, watching her on the soccer field, and just getting to be involved in her teenage life. Happy Sweet 16!!! We Love you!!! Love Mom & Dad!!! My beautiful 6 month old Jadyn!

My beautiful 16 year old Jadyn!

We love you so much and you are so thankful you are in our eternal family!

Valentines Day 2011

We had another "Loving" day again this year. On Sat. Terry and I went to Chili's for dinner (yummy). On Sunday we made cupcakes and took them around to all our family. On Monday I left some ballons, a card, and little presents for the girls and Terry. But I think Jadyn had the best Valentines of all......................

Jaice and Jantzyn playing with their balloons. You can kindof see Jaicelyn's valentines unicorn in the background.

.......This is one happy girl! Her friend Ryan brought her over balloons and flowers, and visited with her for about an hour before he officially asked her to be his valentine. She was in heaven.

Poor Jor, no valentine for her yet...(which is ok by me and her dad), but she was happy for Jadyn. And it's not like she didn't get anything. I spoiled her this year and got her new room decor and a dress for valentines. Anyway hope eveyone else felt loved this year too.
Happy Valentine's from us to you!

Jantzyn's 1st Grade Program

Jantzyn has been so excited for Terry and I to watch her program. Today was the big day (i wasn't able to attend the parents show, so we went to the school show). It was called "Our Town, Our World". She did a great job! We can't believe her 1st grade year is almost over.

This picture is to show you her size compared to the rest of the 1st grader's. She gets tired of always being the smallest but I think it's cute.

Saying her part "We want to welcome you to our 1st grade program."

Doing the swing with her partner. Each class did a dance. Her class was a square dance.

Some more swinging.

Jaicelyn's 4th Grade Wax Museum

For this semester's book reports the 4th graders had to read autobiographies, type up a 1 page report, put a picture and name of the person they read about and the funnest part of the report dress up as the person and become part of the wax museum. They went around to each class room and they were to be still like a statue, then if their desk was tapped they had to tell some things about the person and at the end say who they were.

Jaice and some of her friends getting ready to watch jantzyn's 1st grade program.

Jaicelyn was Harriett Tubman. Sorry you will have to look sideways ( I couldn't figure how to turn the picture after I put it on the blog).

Peeling Potatos

During thanksgiving Megan was so lucky as to be a to peel potato's using my peeler (it didn't work so she ended up using a knife). I told her how much I loved my peeler (not). So............ a couple of days ago I recieved a package in the mail......

Thanks Megan. It made my day to get your package. I love my new peeler and have used it many times. It works so well I almost sliced off my thumb. Love ya!

The girls go sledding...well at least try to sled.

On Martin Luther King day. Terry had the day off and had really been wanting to take the girls sledding. It had been so cold and we thought for sure Pine Valley would have snow that he didn't even call ahead to check (I told him he didn't need too). When they got there they did have snow but the road was closed to get close enough to sled on it. So they headed to Enterprise. Not very much snow there either but it was enough the girls were able to get a taste of what fun winter is. THey sleded for a while played on the playground at the school and had hot chocolate. THen headed home for a warm bath and dinner.
