i believe.....

I thoiught these turned out so cute and was so proud of myself, that i had to blog about it. Last week in Beehives, we talked about testimonies. I gave the girls some music and time to reflect on what they believe. I asked them to turn them into me without them knowing, and I made these for them to be able to look back upon and know they have a firm foundation when things get tough.

bon voyage, "little fish"

So, Claire went to a primary carnival that the young men/women put on for them. It was a lot of fun, but we came home with a gold fish! gggrrrrrrr!!!!! Claire named him "little fish." After 2 weeks of being a nice mother, i decided it was time for little fish to join his family and friends in the big pond. It was about to die anyway, and Claire would have freaked when we explained it and flushed it. She was emotional as it was leaving the pond with out him. Bon voyage!!

2 for 3

a friend and i went garage sale shopping on saturday morning. i found this puppet show theater and some dress up dresses for claire. she has so much fun putting on shows. she goes behind and sings us songs. so funny! i also got her a barbie motorized jeep to drive outside, but she refuses! she just wants to sit in it and listen to the radio. brevan drives it though--watchout!

weekend projects

so, this last weekend i took on a few projects. i made the pillows for my bed, and my couch. i was pretty excited with how they turned out. and dave did most of the backsplash--i just helped with the grout. but i feel like i have a whole new kitchen, and i love it! now i just can't wait to get the house painted next week.

our photo session

so as soon as i found out we would be going to utah, i called and scheduled a photo session. needless to say, after an HOUR AND A HALF there were no good ones of the 2 kids together, which i what i wanted. claire just will not look at the camera! drives me crazy! this picture was my only option! oh well. at least brevan humored me.

my limo birthday party

So we had a big birthday party on Wed. There were 4 of us friends all with birthdays within 3 days of eachother. Dave and I thought it would be fun to get a limo and celebrate! It was so much fun!!! We went to dinner, and drove downtown and witnessed some amazing karaoke in the limo! HILARIOUS!!!! We surprised Melissa. She thought it would be a quiet dinner with the 4 of us--not 15 people pullin up in a stretch H2!

Our birthday toast.

What's a limo ride if you don't stick your head out the window?
