Lights at Temple Square

This week for family night we went

to Temple Square to see the

Christmas lights. We went

With my parents and

Grandma Kinder. It was

a perfect night.

Here are a couple photos,

when I figure out what

is going on with my

computer I will post more.

Bentley had so much fun. Can't

you tell.

Happy "Bee"day Destri!

My cute little Destri turned 12 on Thursday.

It was a fun day for her, I took cupcakes and coke

to her school glass. Then we went to the dinner of her

choice, which was KFC.

After dinner we had a BEE day party at my house.

Here are the highlights..............

The beehive cake was grey and yellow striped

with white and black polka dot frosting We had all of Destri's favorites donuts, cupcakes, cake and chocolate milk. When the kids left they got a treat bag with all of Destri's favorite candy Twix, Oreo's, Reeses, Tootsie Rolls, baby bottle suckers, chewy jolly ranchers, lafft taffy and the licorice ropes.

Thanks everyone for coming

to celebrate Destri with us.

You all helped make Destri's day perfect.

Sick Babies

What is a mom to do when

she has two sick babies?

This worked.

Hate sick kids, but love that

they want to snuggle.

Christmas Advent Calendar

I saw this last year and

it was too late to make then.

So I made sure I got

it done for this year.

It is a muffin tin

you put the candy where

the muffin would bake this way it doesnt get smashed.

Rem's big day

Cute Baby Remington was blessed

on Sunday. He looked so cute.

Jason did an amazing job.

After the blessing we had a breakfast

at my parents home (Thanks Mom and Dad)

With lots of yummy food.

More pictures to come.

Big Day Utah Utes

Where's Sailor?

The other night I couldn't find Sailor for like

10 minutes I am yelling for her and she

was being so quiet,

Well this is where I found her.....

I guess she hates bedtime

Poor Turkey

I have a white board in my kitchen

that I try to draw something cute for the season

or upcoming Holiday.

So I drew this cute Be Thankful turkey

when I got home from a baby shower Des had

added some cute things....

What she is thankful for and

notice the gun shooting the turkey and

a cooked turkey at the bottom.

Love that girl

Zebra Table

So earlier this week when Destri

was cleaning her room (ths doesn't happen very often)

She told me she didn't want this table because it was boring

So I made it less boring......

With a little painting tape,

I made Zebra Stripes

Painted it black and she now has a fun new table for her room.

My cute sister.

My favorite, cute, talented younger sister Tiffany has been on my mind a ton this weekend. I sure do love and miss her. Wish I could be with her to help her though this little rough time. Even if it was just so she could rest. She is in my prayers for comfort as she deals with her miscarriage. I love you cute Tiffany.

Halloween weekend

What a busy weekend. Glad to have it come to an end. Friday we had school parades and work parades. That night we went to the Best's to have pizza and do pumpkins. Since I was still healing from having my tubes tied I wasn't much help with pumpkins. Saturday morning Jason's aunt Donna asked me to help with her ward Super Saturday I helped the cute ladies in her ward learn how to make zipper flowers. It was fun to run into the labor and delivery nurse who help bring little Rem into this world. Cute Shauna. That night we went with my parents to their Samoan Trunk or Treat. My parents are serving a service mission in a Samoan ward in Kearns. After that we went back to their house and took the kids trick or treating. WE have way more candy than my kids will ever eat. Sunday we went to my parents Samoan ward primary program. It was so neat to see all the primary children in white. Although I could not understand the program because it was in Samoan, the message came through the strong spirit that was there. I have never been to a Sacrament meeting that you could actually hear the hymns being sung. They love to sing and when they do it is beautiful. Amazing people. I can see why my parents love them so much. After I took Rem and Bentley to my ward while Sailor took a nap. It was 5th Sunday which makes for a crowded class. Bentley was excited to go to class and sing and play with the kids. He such does love going to church. Now off to both sets of parents to visit and this crazy weekend will come to an end.

Destri and her school Parade

My big sixth grader had her last
