BEE Happy

For the second Releif Society activity  that I planned, my commitee and I did a 'BEE Happy theme.' The Happy song was on the radio all the time and it got me in the mood to do something cheerful! We did a Cafe Rio style dinner where people volunteered to bring different fixins. We had three people speak briefly about different aspects of happiness- CHOOSING to be happy, taking time for your self and taking care of yourself, and Serving others. The three people that spoke did a fabulous job! Afterwards we did an activity where everyone shared something that makes them happy. Everyone brought an item to represent what that is. It was fun to see what everyone brought and it was a great way to get to know everyone better. I thought it turned out to be a fun, HAPPY night!

Baylor is 6

Baylor is 6! We have been VERY busy around here! He decided two days before his birthday that he wanted a Godzilla party with his friends. We were going to just do a family party, but my friend Debbie informed me that her son Dane came home with a hand-written party invite from Baylor. She didn't know if it was a real invite or not so she asked me. Apparently he had handed out a few of those so I figured why not just do a friend party instead if that's what he really wants! It was all very last minute but it all worked out! Of course they don't have any Godzilla party supplies at the store so we had to figure out a way to do it. I made a banner in photoshop and Logan painted a big Godzilla poster. His art skills really come in handy!

The wind was blowing so he had to pretend to blow 

out the candles!

I obviously really WAS loosing my mind... I only put four candles on his cake. The saddest part, it didn't even click that that was wrong until the party was over! I'm surprised Baylor didn't say anything!

Checking out his new garbage pail kids from Oliver.

After Logan got home from work we sang to him and had him BLOW out his candles... 6 of them! I saved the gifts from us for when Logan got home. We gave Baylor something he REALLY wanted.....

I love that I captured his reaction! The 'FIRST EVER' hardcover Goosebumps book! Baylor LOVES Goosebumps books even thought he can't read them. He just loves the scary covers and he loves to carry them around. Oh and he sleeps with them!

Baylor was one happy birthday boy! We love him so much!!!!

For Sale!

Putting our house up for sale was a SCARY thing! We loved this house... but we were ready for a new adventure. We were 'racing' another couple for the new house we wanted. Whoever sold their house first would get the new one. We used my friend Michelle Preuininger for our realtor. She is awesome! Our house in ONE DAY! We won! ;)

These are the pictures she used on the house listing. She was going to hire a photographer but I told her I could do it. 

So many great memories in this house! Selling it was bittersweet! Now.... out with the new and in with the OLD!! 

We took this from our car... we loved driving past it often!

Mother's Day

It was a beautiful Mother's day. Logan got the boys ready for church- they looked so cute! Everyday I am SO thankful to be a Mom. I love my three boys more then anything in the whole world!!

Impromptu Star Wars Convention

My friend Debbie who lives a few blocks over was on a walk with her kids so she stopped by. Her boys happened to be wearing Star Wars costumes. My boys are loving Star Wars lately... especially Wesley who just had his Star Wars party. The boys ran in the house and got their Star Wars stuff... light sabers and masks. Even the neighbor Simon got his light saber and joined in. Suddenly there was a whole Star Wars/light saber fight going on. I thought it was pretty hilarious! One of my favorite parts was that even little Bentley wanted in on the fun! Oh and Debbie and I loved that we were wearing the same outfits so we had to take another pic like the one we took in San Diego. Olsen Twins!
