What to do??.....What to do??

This is a little weird. Sean took Cierra and Brooke over to Josh's to watch a movie and Kaylee and Connor went with their dad and I am all alone and I am not sure what to do. Kaylee even took her cat, so she isn't here to keep me company. I am done shopping, wrapping, writing Christmas cards, and all that stuff so I just sit here. I really don't like to watch TV and I have already looked at all the blogs I stalk. Sean cleaned the house this morning so that is done. I guess I will go take a shower(just got back from the gym) and curl up in bed with my book and read.
Hope everyone is enjoying the snow. I hear it is only going to get worse. I think it is kind of exciting but if I had to deal with this on a everyday basis I would go crazy. The kids are going through clothes(guess if they had snow clothes that would help)like crazy and I am doing a ton of laundry.

Brooke's Christmas Program

Brooke had her preschool Christmas program today even though school was canceled because of the snow. Grandma and Grandpa came along and as the snow fell we watched Brooke sing some Christmas songs with her friends. I love that Mrs. Spencer plays the piano and they all sing along. Mrs. Spencer got all the kids a book and a little mouse. It was very sweet of her!:) Brooke made me a ornament that said HOPE with a picture of herself in the O.

Kaylee came over after and because it was too cold outside, Kaylee pushed them around inside the house. They had a great time, until Kaylee had to leave. Brooke cried herself to sleep she was so mad.

Cierra and Meaghan stayed by the fire for a long time after coming in from the snow. They played games and got warm.

9 years!

Today Sean and I celebrate 9 years of marriage! Sometimes it seems like I have known him my whole life and other times I feel like we just met. I just want to tell him how much I love him and appreciate all the things he does for me. He supports me in all that I do and for that I am very grateful. He always is full of compliments and makes me feel special. I thought I would just make a short list of the little things that makes me love him more every day. Sorry, bare with me while I list them.
1. he call me from work 4 or 5 times a day just to make sure I am doing ok.
2.he worries that we don't spend enough time together.(how sweet!)
3.he opens doors for me.
4.he wants to cuddle at night when we go to bed.
5.he comes home and isn't afraid to clean a bathroom or mop the floor.
6.he is a big help with the kids.
7.he is very spiritual.
8.he cares about my feelings.
9.he will give me a massage anytime I want.
10.he reminds me of the important things in life.
11. he calls me weetie!

I could go on and on but I won't.

Thank you Sean for being a part of my life and loving me everyday!

Snowday!

Well, I guess we will have to take what we can get! I was hoping for a little more snow but this will have to do. School was canceled so the kids were excited. We headed over to my sisters to go sledding behind her house. the kids had fun but they were cold and now they are all laying down covered in blankets watching Space Chimps.

This is the kind of snowman you build in Washington. We have to make due with the snow we have.

Brooke wasn't really excited to go down the hill but I am one of those moms that says, you will try everything once, so I stuck her on my lap kicking and screaming and down we went. She wanted to do it again and again and again!

My poor kids don't have snow gear. I think it is a waste of money for the 2 days a year we need it. They survived!

Cierra and her cousin Shaylyn! They did this about 30 times!

Yes, that is me behind my nephew, Austin. We went pretty fast and I was a little scared.

Shaylyn wanted a turn with me. We must not have gone fast enough because she wanted to ride with Cierra the rest of the time.

Brooke trying to climb back up the hill. That was the worst part.

Connor trying to climb back up!

Kaylee and Chance cruising down.

These are my sisters dogs. I have mixed emotions about them. Sure, they are cute, but they kind of freak me out. They have no eyes, or at least none that I can see.

Brooke finally got cold and decided to stay inside!

Kaylee is spoiled!

Kaylee goes to a tutor every Tuesday night for an hour and a half and it has done wonders for her. Her tutor's name is Maile and she is so nice. She has taught Kaylee so much. We are so grateful to have her. She tells Kaylee everytime she has a test to call her and let her know how she did. I think that is so sweet. She really cares about Kaylee. Well yesterday was her last session until after Christmas and this is what she gave her. I would say she was spoiled!

Enrichment

As the counselor over Enrichment in the Relief Society Presidency, I get to do some fun things. This is one of those times. It was very stressful and a lot of work but Amy and I along with 5 committee members pulled off a great dinner and program along with singing and a beautiful spiritual thought and the Reflections of Christ slide show. Besides running out of salad, everything went perfect! I was so happy for it to be over but I truly enjoyed it as we were able to reflect on the real reason for the season.

We had a lot of help setting up and it turned out beautiful when the lights went down.

The kids kept busy running around and eating their lunch!

The Chicken Alfredo and the Spaghetti with meatballs tasted yummy!

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

I invited Marci from basketball. She sat with Anna and Kelli. Thanks for coming Marci.

The dessert was potluck and we got a big variety. They were all delicious. I know because I ate one of everything.(JK)

Tari played most of the music and did a wonderful job. Isn't her new haircut gorgeous?

The program was very spiritual and it went well.

Kristin decided to eat the leftovers after everything was over.~Just kidding. She was making goody plates! Thank you Amy, Kristin, Tari, Jennifer, Sharae, Karina, Sarah, Laurie and Kathy.

Just like their mother~

My children are just like me when I was a kid. I used to love to stand on my head.(I still do it at times.)
