Grandpa and Grandma left today and the kids were very sad to see them leave. We’ll have to plan a trip to go down to see them soon. Since today was a holiday, Joey didn’t have to go to work. So we just hung out at home the rest of the day. For Family Home Evening, we got out the Disney Scene-It Game that Lane gave us and we had a blast playing it.

It’s been snowing for the last couple of days and so it’s really been nice to just hang out at home. But this is what our driveway looks like now – Grandpa finally got our van fixed and they brought it back to us when they were here this last weekend! It is so AWESOME to have both vehicles now. I don’t have to get up early and get Joey to work when I need the car. Love it! Thanks Grandpa for all your work!

We got out the play dough and cookie cutters after school today and the kids had a blast! It kept them occupied for a couple of hours!

We got to babysit Mallory again today. She is just adorable and I’m so glad for the opportunity to get to be with her and to help out Cody and Becki. Beth loves to just hold her!

I finally broke down and got us a waffle maker. Joey and I are more pancake eaters, so I just never thought about getting a waffle maker, but Beth loves waffles. So I finally got one and we had waffles tonight. Beth was so delighted!

We went to Salt Lake City today and spent time with Brandon and Sabrina. It was Brandon’s 30th birthday and so we played some Wii, ate pizza, and visited before they headed off to a hockey game. They sent us home with lots of this yummy cake from Costco! So good!

Today was a really great day! The Colts won the AFC Championship and it was a great game! Joey and I totally watch football differently- I am pretty vocal – Joey is very quiet. But this small smile of Joeys at the end of the game said it all! We are going to the Super Bowl! Go Colts!

Project 365 | Week 32

For the past couple of weeks I have been completely consumed with designing this new kit line. I have worked on this on and off for months – but the opportunity of a blog train and extra stuff had me getting it ready for this past couple of weeks. I got most of it done last week, but the first half of this week I had to completely dedicate myself to finishing it.

My poor children and hubby had to basically live without me as I worked long, very long hours to finish these up. I stayed up most of the night every night the past few days to get it done.

And then, I finally did it – I finished it. And I have been so amazed and blessed to have the response to it that I have – thank you all of you for your kind words. It has definitely taken a lot out of me to get it done – I need to spend some quality time with my family and away from the computer for awhile! WHEW!

Today we took our monthly visit to Costco to stock up on some needed items! The kids enjoyed getting out of the house – especially since I have been so stuck to my computer lately.

I was trying to do some cleaning and get caught up with things today. I could hear the kids in their room talking and laughing. I was starting to wonder what they were up to when they came out to show me. JJ had dressed his sister up in his superman cape and hat. It was adorable – my little SuperGirl. It is always fun to see JJ taking care of and playing with his sister!

A big day! We woke up early and headed to Lagoon (a local amusement park) to spend the day with Aunt Amy and Uncle Matt and cousins Logan and Alyssa. We actually haven’t seen them in a couple of years and until today, hadn’t even met Alyssa so it was really fun to be with them. The kids really enjoyed the rides and we benefited from an overcast day which was so great that it wasn’t so hot! But since it was a little chilly we didn’t go into the Lagoon-a-Beach like we were going to. Instead we got soaked on the Raft Ride and as we were leaving the park, Beth had to run through the water fountains (she loved it.) We then headed to a park and left Uncle Aaron with the kids and Joey and I went to the Bountiful temple to be with the Mortensens as they were sealed together for Time and All Eternity. We were late, but we made it just in time (of course that made us the center of attention as we walked into the room – sorry Curtis and Anne). But it was a very beautiful ceremony and I am so happy for them. We returned to Curtis and Anne’s home for some refreshments and visiting. We got to meet Brandon and Sabrina’s new little one, Kalissa too, so it was a wonderful day!

Our Family Home Evenings are usually held on Sundays instead of the usual Mondays, just because Joey is usually home. We need to do better at actually having gospel lessons, but we have at least spent some quality time together. Lately it has been introducing the kids to some of our favorite movies that Joey and I watched growing up. Today we watched The Princess Bride! The kids will probably like it better when they get older – but it was still fun to watch it together today.

The dreaded birthday has arrived. I turned 30 today. Not sure why it is giving me such a hard time, but at least now it’s over. I made myself brownies and had fun shaping it into the big 3-0.

Beth, JJ, and I headed over to Costco and Walmart after JJ’s school to get some much needed shopping done.

JJ is really enjoying Summer school and I’m so glad he had the chance to continue his education. It gives him some much needed attention and something to do during the weekdays so his summer is not too boring! Here he is with his teacher.

JJ’s class had a small Independence Day parade around the plaground today. They all looked so cute with their hats and flags that the had made this week!

Since Joey didn’t have to work today, he got the automatic sprinklers going for the lawn. We had some broken heads that had to be replaced. The kids got drenched running on the lawn as Dad fixed the Sprinklers and they had such a great time! Pete came down and hung out with us today too!

We got some Sparklers, Flowers, and Pop its for the kids and we set them off tonight as a family. It was a lot of fun seeing the sparkle in their eyes as they watched and participated. We had 2 mishaps with Beth burning her finger and JJ getting a small spark on his eye lid, but all in all it was a lot of fun!

We decided we needed cookies, so the kids helped me make our favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies today. Thank goodness for our Stand mixer – it makes it all more enjoyable!

We got out the kids travel cups today as I am starting to put things together for our trip. Just looking at things and starting to plan out what I want to do and what I want to take. The kids like to play with these cups because they can put it around their necks. Pretty goofy kids – but I’m glad they can find delight in the little things!

JJ’s school is having a read-a-thon this month. Each student who reads at least 500 minutes (or is read to) will receive a pass to a local water park and also a pass to a family fun center. I’ve been really slacking off lately with reading to my kids, so this is a great opportunity to get back on track. We decided to start with The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A Milne. This book was one of Joey’s treasures, until we had kids and now it is worn-out. I am going to have to purchase a new copy for Joey someday. But so far the kids are really enjoying being read to EVERY NIGHT!

We got some light snow, but of course it melted later in the day. Today was spent on the computer trying to finish up a new kit. I also had my wonderful Over the Hump Chat tonight. I really love meeting with the members of the Digitals community!

I decided to get an impromtu hair cut today. I had a coupon to Fantastic Sam’s and suddenly felt like I’d like to have a haircut before our vacation. So off Beth and I went and I cut 7 inches off my hair. It feels really great! We also took a trip to Costco and got some snacks for our trip!

I finished my kit today and I think it turned out pretty well. I am definitely excited to be able to use this when I get back from California! The kids and I hung out while Joey did his Friday activities of racquetball and recording of his podcast.

The kids and I took a day trip to Richfield today to watch my brother play in the State Tournament. Valley took 3rd and I was very happy for them – though I wished for them that they wouldn’t have lost yesterday – they definitely should have been the champions this year – darn it. But they played extremely well. I can’t believe my little brother is 16 years old – he’s gotten so tall! I’m very proud of him!

When I was growing up – Sunday was always pudding night. My siblings and I would make hot Vanilla and cold Chocolate pudding and fight over who got what! LOL I made some chocolate pudding tonight and the kids LOVED it. I think I am going to carry on this tradition for Sunday nights. It’s a great memory of when I was growing up.
