Gymboree??

My favorite place besides home to hang out.......

I heard a rumor that they may open a store in the valley mall.....

I am so excited.........

Just last weekend, while shopping at Columbia Center, I told Brad I wanted to work at Gymboree. He said it would be a long commute, but maybe not! Maybe Mama will be back working before the babies go to school. I can't wait, I hope it really does happen!!!

He did it.............

congratulations

Now, maybe when I figure out how to get the slideshow I made him online you can all see that.

Happy Birthday Grammy Bell...I miss you everyday!

Although you’ve passed from this world

And left my world in sorrow

I know that I must go on

And face this life tomorrow

Just when I think I’m content

And well upon my way

To dealing with your loss

Along comes your birthday

Memories of birthdays past

Hold my heart at bay

I will find solace once again

Until your next birthday

Wall Words

I guess I should have cleaned the top of the fireplace, but I was to excited. I've been wanting to do this for awhile. I finally picked my words and ordered them and I think I love it!!!

You'll be forever in our hearts....

November 10th, 1935 - April 25th, 2009

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Little Miss USA 2009

When I was a little girl I always enjoyed watching the pagents on tv. I was flipping channels (I do get to do that sometimes) and saw the pagent was on. I thought I would see if Emmy would watch it with me. Then I remembered I had this Little Gown in her closet, one of my Gymboree Treasures. I put it on her and it fit just right. Cade quickly told her she looked pretty and he thought he should get his singlet on. Emmy modeled for Daddy, and we think she's won the title this year for Little Miss USA~

crazy weather

Tuesday brought us huge snowflakes...

My poor tree.....

Here it is Friday and I have a bloomin' cherry tree...hooray!

Easter, new hairdo and outside fun

Eric is an expert at coloring eggs....

I love Cade's amazed look...


Emmy's new Hair...

Fun in the Ford!!!

I love to paint......usually!

Say Goodbye to the apples.......

This handy steamer took those apples away....Thanks Ronnie!

This picture is for everyone who won't be able to tell the difference..


Ahh, fresh paint...I love it. Now for the rest of these walls.

By the way. I decided to try out a more expensive paint and I am glad I did. Ralph Lauren paint is worth the extra few dollars, atleast I think so.

I splurged..............

I love this stuff...After hinting for this for 2 years, for every imaginable gift giving day, I decided to just buy it for myself. If it ever makes it to Costco, I'm sure Brad will buy it, but his shopping doesn't usually go beyond that store. The Philosophy Lady at Nordstrom gave me some samples when I tagged along while my sister was buying makeup. I was instantly in love with it. It's such a delicate and clean scent. I am so glad I bought it for myself.....if you haven't tried it yet, you should....this time I got the 3 in 1 bath, shower and shampoo and also the body spray. I think a candle will be my next purchase. I wouldn't mind my whole house smelling like AMAZING GRACE!

Hmmm...weekly post didn't seem to work, maybe monthy?

Well, so much for posting weekly..It's been a month since I said that. Here are some cute pictures I've snapped lately. Hope you enjoy them.

Eric and Emmy being Cute
Cade and his latest interest...WRESTLING!

Finally Friday........

Another week, here and gone...... I think maybe weekly post might be my goal. Hopefully I can keep up with that.

Cade has slept in his carbed all week. Up until now, he has just used it for naps occasionally. Since he started climbing out of his crib, there is no stopping him anyway. He told Brad he wanted to sleep in it earlier in the week, and has been taking naps and staying in it all night ever since. I keep asking him if we can get rid of the crib, but he wants to keep it.

Kyle had Uncle Ronnie build him a computer. I guess he was impressed with the one Eric had Uncle build. We were lucky enough to have it hand delivered by him. That's exciting because he just doesn't seem to come to the valley often enough. Emmy enjoyed hanging out with him, Cade enjoyed his trip to miners, where he ate his cheeseburger with no hands. I guess because they were covered in fry sauce from dipping his fingers straight into it.

And in case you are wondering where the big boys are in my post, don't think I've written them off. I've come to the conclusion that they are either to busy playing world of warcraft or they are just choosing to not be famous and staying out of my blog! Ha Ha

A fresh new year........

I am hoping to keep up on my blog a little more this year....I know how much I like to read everyone else's, so hopefully I have a few fans out there as well.

The year started off great. We had Emmy's Birthday party on the 4th. It was a small little celebration, probably the smallest she'll ever see. She got two dolls for Christmas, but they are to heavy for her to carry around. Nicole solved that by getting her a Cabbage Patch Newborn, she loves it. She also got a pink dog, like Cade's. I found them walking their dogs this morning. So cute.

Brad entered the Selah Fitness Challenge with my brother this year. He is doing great, for hardly trying. He's lost about 18 pounds. I wish it were that easy for us girls. Kyle is cruising through his senior year, gosh that makes me sad. He's thinking of going to Perry when he's done with High School. Eric still seems to like school. He saved his birthday and Christmas money and had his Uncle build him a computer, that I hear is faster than both of mine...Cade has started potty training, and boy is that fun. He sits on the potty, on average, about 5 times an hour. We had success today, he earned some m&m's and a hersheys kiss. Hooray for that. Emmy finally moved into her own room, on her birthday. Her crib was set up in our room while the downstairs was being remodeled. Once the bathroom gets done down there we should be done, but that has to get started first! Kyle and Eric are happy to be moved into their own space. I'm happy to have my space back now to. My bedroom is finally looking decent, I have time to clean it now that Emmy doesn't sleep in here.

Well, I'll save the rest for a different blog.........now where are all your updates??
