Visiting Janessa

The kids have been wanting to visit Janessa at BYU for a while now. They were very excited to see her dorm. We decided to visit her this week because Thomas' birthday would be on Friday and boys 6 and older are not allowed in the dorm rooms and since Thomas was this 5 this would be a great time.


They thought is was a great place. Thomas' favorites were: 1. The bathrooms 2. The loft by the stairways 3. The fact that there weren't any screens in the windows.
We love Janessa! She is great and the kids love being around her.

Valentine's Day 2014

We had fun making valentine's this year. Elizabeth made this adorable fish bowl with Swedish fish in it. Aunt Leslie gave her the idea and she took off. She did it almost all by herself. She was very pleased with the results and so was I since she was able to do it by herself.


She also had to make a valentine's box. This is something we've never had to do before so after looking at some ideas online, this is what we came up with. It was great because it wasn't time consuming at all. We just stuck the picture on a gift box that we had laying around from Christmas and voila, DONE.


Emilie did glow sticks. She was very excited but also insisted on getting one herself. So before they were handed out in class she told her teacher she wanted a pink one. Hahaha!


Thomas did erasers this year. We just took a picture with him holding out his hands and then glued a little eraser to it. I completely forgot to take a picture of the final product but you can get the idea ;)


Since this was the last class party for both of the kids this year I decided to help in both of their classes.

Parents and Pastries

You go to school read books and eat donuts with mom. What else could this child of mine wish for.
He LOVED it.

Beautiful Girl

Emilie got this pretty dress for her birthday from her aunt Leslie and the sweater from her grandparents. She wore it to church today she looked beautiful. She even wore Elizabeth's matching headband and she didn't take it off after 1 minute (like she normally does).
