Handsome Boys

learning something new

I decide to learn how to sew. My MIL bought me a sewing machine 4 years ago and it has never been used. So I decide to start out slow and make a pillow case for Jakob. This was my end result.

Playgroup Fun

I was thinking about how much I love going to playgroup, and if it was possible I would have one every day. I also wanted to thank Mindy for organizing and planning all of our outings while she was here. And I also wanted to thank Tara B. for taking over that job. These are some of my reasons for loving playgroup.

-I get to hang out with wonderful moms, and get to know them on a more personal basis.
-I've met some of my best friend's in playgroup.
-My kids learn to play and interact with other children.
-I'm a better Mom because of playgroup.

I was so grateful to come to a ward where there was a playgroup because it made it easier for me to get to know people in my ward.

Double Mission Calls

A lot of exciting stuff has been going on with my family over the last few month's. My younger brothers(who are twins) both got their mission calls recently. Jentz will be going to Sacramento, California.(spanish speaking) And Callin will be serving in Eugene, Oregon.(spanish speaking also) My brothers will both leave to the MTC on May 16th. We are so excited for them and we know they will be great missionaries. We have a lot of trips to plan for all the different events. But I'm looking forward to spending some time with my family.

Sister getting Married

My sister Kelsey just got engaged. And will be getting married on June 13th. In the Salt Lake Temple, we are so excited for her.

Enjoying the outdoors

Happy St. Patricks Day

I remember every St. Patrick's Day my mom would make us corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Which always included green peas,green mashed potatoes,green jello and of course green koolaid. The kitchen was always decorated green as well. I always looked forward to eating corned beef and thought that it was a rare treat because the only time you could buy it was on St. Patrick's day. Well I just became aware of the fact that you can buy corned beef all year round. Oh I wish I had known earlier.
