High/Low + Freebie Friday | Mulan

My LOW this Week is that I am very impatient with my financial situation. I have been taking a personal finance class and I am making progress in my communication about money with my husband and we have been working hard to get back on track with savings and living within our means. But, I have made so many mistakes, that it has been a struggle to get to where we want to be, and I am a bit frustrated with it this week!

My HIGH for this Week is that it’s Game Night tonight with some friends. I am in desperate need of a night of laughter and fun and its going to be great!

I do have a freebie for you today!
The next in line of my COLOR SKETCH SILHOUETTEZ!

Life 2014 | Summer Camp with the Princesses

Summer Camp with the Princesses | June 23, 25-26, 2014

Beth had the opportunity to participate in a Princess Summer Camp. She’s getting older and this Princess stage is not going to last forever, so it was really nice to see her still enjoying dress-up and play with the Disney Princesses! She got to spend three days with various princesses and got to do SO many fun activities! She had a blast and it will definitely be something she will always remember!

Beth’s first session was a Frozen party and she got to be with her favorite princess, Anna and her sister, Elsa. She was so excited to wear her Anna dress. She got to make a wand, had ice cream, had a snowball fight with cotton balls, and was crowned a princess!

Next session was the Adventure camp with Merida and Rapunzel. She got to paint a lizard, shoot a target with arrows, stuff a bear, make a wish with balloons and danced with ribbons!

Then came a Luau with Jasmine and Ariel. She got to paint a treasure box, taught Jasmine to hula,made sand necklaces, and made headbands to go with the hula skirt and lei!

The last session was a Spa Day with Belle (her 2nd favorite) and Aurora. Belle did Beth’s hair and nails and Aurora did her makeup. They got a butterfly treasure box with beauty supplies.

Here’s the layout I did:

Life 365 | Week 26

Monday, June 21, 2010

It was such an exciting day for JJ. He left with his cub scout troop at 6:30am for the Jeremiah Johnson Scout Day Camp. JJ has never done anything like this before so I was a little nervous about how he would handle it – but I shouldn’t have worried. He came home about 2pm with a huge smile on his face! His leader told me how amazing he did today and that he actually started initiating conversations with the other boys and just trying and doing his best at everything. I’m so proud of him! He got to make a paper rocket, a wood airplane, and do lots of belt loops and other requirements! It was a wonderful day for him.

Soon after JJ got home – Grandma Smith arrived. She spent the afternoon and evening with us and the kids loved having her play with them. She helped us finish up organizing the toys in the kids room too. We had Uncle Aaron over for dinner and we had some really great conversation. After the kids went to bed and Joey took Aaron home – Mom Smith and I had a long conversation into the night and it was so great to have someone to lean on. Thanks Mom!

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

It was a hard day for me. I started the day with a bad panic attack that basically wiped my whole day. I’m so thankful to Joey and the kids for helping me through the day. JJ had his pack meeting tonight and got lots of belt loops from his day camp yesterday. He was so excited!

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

It was Beth’s last day of Soccer Camp. She had so much fun. The coaches played soccer games with them and then they got to have a huge water fight. Beth was completely drenched and completely happy!

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen arrived today. They brought Uncle Clint and cousin Colby and some of their team to the BYU Basketball Camp, so they are staying with us for a couple of days. The kids were so excited to have them here! We attended the boys’ first game at the camp and then we picked up Joey and went to Cabella’s. What a store! The kids were fascinated by the displays! Then we went to IHOP for dinner (since Sizzler was closed before we could get there)!

Friday, June 25, 2010

It was a fun, busy day. We took JJ to school and then went and watched another basketball game before running Grandpa and Grandma around for this and that. After picking JJ up, we did some more shopping, had lunch, and went to another basketball game. It was fun to just be with my parents and visit!

Saturday, June 26, 2010

Another exciting day! Grandpa and Grandma left early to go get some tar in Salt Lake City and they left for home later on in the afternoon. But we didn’t see them after that – because we had a lot to do! It was our DATE WITH THE KIDS DAY! We started by going to JJ’s last Tball game – where he got a fun trophy! Beth and I left a little early and went back home to curl her hair and dress her up. Then we headed over to the wonderful Princess Festival! It was our first year but we will definitely have to plan on making it a tradition. Beth got to go on a treasure hunt for a wonderful princess story & autograph book. She got to go on a princess adventure where she helped all the princesses. We did a little shopping at the booths, ate lunch, and took lots of pictures with the princesses. Beth ADORED it! While we were gone – JJ and Joey headed off to the arcade where they had lunch, played games, and JJ got to play his first laser tag game which he loved! About 3pm we all arrived home – hot and tired, but the kids were so happy! JJ then headed off for an hour of water time fun at a friend’s birthday party. We did a bit of down time before having pizza for dinner. Then we switched and Joey took his little princess to the Ball at the princess festival and JJ and I went to see Toy Story 3 in the theater. Beth had so much fun at the ball with the entertainment, the snacks, and the dancing and JJ really loved the movie! So I think our day was a COMPLETE SUCCESS!

The kids loved that Grandpa and Grandma left them DONUTS! It made for a great snack after church!

Life 365 | Week 21

Monday, May 17, 2010
Beth’s last week of school started today. Afterwards, she played in her little “puzzle corner” for quite awhile so I could keep working on my Good EatZ Kit. She is getting so good at doing puzzles and we just have a puzzle going all the time! She loves it!

Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Another day of trying to get my kit done. It just isn’t happening and I’m just not going to have it done on time – but I think its turning out pretty good. No picture today since I just worked all day on the computer, but I do have some of the kit to share. The kids have been playing pretty well together so I am getting some done – just not enough.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
I took a break from designing today to go participate in JJ’s School Spring Run-off – the only school fundraiser they have all year. We didn’t go last year, but I thought we really should do it this year. Beth went to only about 1/2 of her school today and she and I went and joined JJ in the race. We ran a little and walked a little – but we made it to the finish line and we got fun shirts to show it! My Book ScrapZ Chat was tonight and of course I didn’t have the kit done – but everyone is being very patient with me – so that helps!

Thursday, May 20, 2010
Beth graduated from the Center Stage Preschool today. Joey and I were able to attend her graduation/program and it was very cute. I know Beth is going to miss her friends there and the teachers and I’m grateful she has had the opportunity to do a little Karate, a little dancing and singing, and learning.

Friday, May 21, 2010
We got to babysit Mallory for half the day today and it was so fun. JJ was so happy that she came early so he could have a little time with her before he went to school! Mal went with us to Beth’s last time with her class. We went to a park and had Mommy and Muffins. We got to have some muffins and juice and the kids got to play on the playground. It was a lot of fun and Beth didn’t want to leave. But she started feeling a little sick. By the time night came she was coughing up a storm and had a high fever.

Saturday, May 22, 2010
This morning, I got to pick up my first Bountiful Basket. I have found a great co-op for fruit/vegetables/bread and I’m excited to have more healthy foods come into my home. Hopefully I’ll learn how to use it all! It is so fun.

Beth is our little sickie today. She does pretty good during the day, but the night is really hard on her. She coughs so much that she can hardly breathe and her temperature got up to 103 degrees today. Joey and I got free tickets to go to the I Fight Dragons concert. (It’s a fairly new band that Joey has had contact with and he’s even had their permission to use their music on his podcast. So its pretty cool). Anyways, but because Beth is so sick I stayed home with her while Joey went to the concert with his brother. He said it was really great – though he overdid it with his leg (blood clots) and is pretty swollen!

Sunday, May 23, 2010
With Joey not feeling well and Beth not feeling well – another very hard night – we stayed home from church. The nights are so awful. I think Beth has finally broke the fever – but the coughing at night is just awful. We are all very tired.

For Family Movie Night we watched A Little Princess and we had muffins and meat pies (chicken) – like they have in the book!

And we finished our night – with watching the finale of Lost. It’s been a very interesting 6 years and I’ll miss the show – I think the finale was good and I’m glad they ended it the way they did.

And here is my weekly layout:

Life 365 | Week 20

Monday, May 10, 2010
I still wasn’t feeling very well today, but JJ seemed just fine, so the kids went to school. I didn’t accomplish very much. It ended up being a rough evening. I burned the corn chowder and the kids were fighting and having a bit of a hard time. But at least my rolls turned out good. I don’t think I will be having corn chowder again anytime soon – I ended up being up all night and throwing up in the bathroom.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Last night was completely exhausting. I haven’t been that sick in a long time. Today wasn’t any better. I didn’t eat a thing all day and still felt so sick. But the kids and Joey were fine. Joey got to go on a field trip with JJ and they went to Fishing Day at Salem Pond. The wonderful community puts it on every year for all the special needs kids. They get to fish and have lunch and they bring home a fish and a fun hat. This is JJ’s second year and I went with him last year. I’m glad Joey got to go with him this year.

Wednesday, May 12, 2010
On the mend but still not feeling real great. After school today, Beth and I spent a long time playing with her ponies and princesses. She loves it when I take the time to play with her and I need to remember to enjoy these little moments more.

Thursday, May 13, 2010
Beth has discovered that if she sleeps on her braids and when they are dry, she gets curly hair! So I’ve been practicing french braids on her and I’m getting better!

Friday, May 14, 2010
It was Beth’s last Show-and-Tell at school today and she wanted to do something special. So we made some flower red velvet cookies and she gave them to her class. Everyone loved it!

Saturday, May 15, 2010
A very laid-back Saturday! The kids played all day and Joey watched them while I got to catch up on some rest. Then we played and did puzzles and watched movies and worked on computers. I finally took advantage of a gift certificate that I won at Christmastime for a photo that I took of my kids and got a Fandango gift certificate. So we used some of it tonight and we got Aaron to come over and watch the kids (they were in bed for the night anyways) and Joey and I went to a movie. We saw Letters to Juliet and I really enjoyed it! It was nice to go out with Joey – we haven’t done that lately.

Sunday, May 16, 2010
I taught the Sunbeams class today and it was good to finally make it back to church. Since we finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia) last week, we decided we needed to watch the movie for Family Movie Night. Our tradition is to watch half the movie – have an intermission and do dinner and then watch the last half of the movie. The kids loved Narnia and I can’t wait to read more of the books with them! Joey was great and volunteered to cook dinner and he made some lion head pancakes with scrambled eggs for the manes. He also tried his hand out at some other shapes too. He spelled out the kids names, he did an I Heart You pancake for me and a colts pancake for himself. But my favorite one that he did was a hidden Mickey pancake. So very cool!
