Baby Jacob

Britt holding Jacob. She cannot get enough of him.

Not the best of picture quality, but here I am holding Jacob. He is so sweet.

Makes me soooo baby hungry.

End of year!

The end of the school year has finally come and gone!We did however have a few last projects to complete. Britt had a

research paper due. She was allowed to pick any country she wanted. She picked HAITI.

It wouldnt have even been on my mind but she chose it and we learned alot about Haiti.

Even got to make a mini float.

Glad thats over.

Every year we do a "End of the year" present for the teachers.

This year I bought projects from WOOD CONNECTION,

we painted, glittered and wrapped up flowers! We all gave our teachers one.

Then I had to make a set for myself. They are so fun!

June 1st

My dear friend was blessed with this sweet baby boy.

She is adopting him. It has been in the works for awhile.

He finally arrived!

He has plenty of sisters, aunts, and grandmas so I declared myself "Godmother"

What a wonderful way to start off the summer!

Lots more posts to come.

loves hugs and summer kisses!

Another Long Past Due

Once again it has been awhile since my last update. So much has happened. I will sum it all up with a few pictures!
Easter (along with Spring Break) came and went fast. We colored eggs and visited Family on Easter. Didn't do anything spectacular for Spring Break.

Britt graduated from DARE! I am so proud of her. She had to write an essay and it was great. She loves the shirt. Its hard to get it off of her so I can wash it.

Britt also had her first piano recital! She memorized her song and she got to play it on the beautiful piano. We surprised her with flowers afterwards. Her piano teacher is a good friend of mine. Britt will be in piano for a long time!

We also moved again. The house we were renting was great, but the owners decided to come home earlier than ever expected. It was a shock, but we found a house that we like (closer to work) and we are settling in. I wanted to get moved for the summer so the kids could meet friends and be already for school in the fall. Its tough to move. We should be PROS! We will luckily be here for a long time.

I will catch up again soon. I need to make it through the end of the school year and then I will have tons of time to catch up!

Loves, hugs, and smooches to all!

Long time no blog.....

So much has happened since my last post!

Spencer turned 9 in January.

Britt and her friend participated in the Science Fair!

Spencer was "Neil Armstrong" for a report/wax museum.

Carter turned 10!

I also started a new job. I went from 17 hours to 29 hours! I love the job and the money isn't bad either :) We are so anxious for Spring and nice weather. Starting next weekend, we will be spending bunches of time at Lagoon! Love the Season passes! I hope to do better blogging. Its a great way to help me remember what has happened in our crazy lives.

Random

Just a few random things:

Here is my decorated Christmas shelf. It has a few Nativities, Christmas Countdown, and pretty lights. The turtle loves the pretty lights!

One day on Dave's way to work he noticed these huge Snowmen.

So we took a drive to see them. They were as tall as the house! Fun stuff.

I love dressing up Woody! Here is his Christmas Sweater.

He really hated this one. He kept wiggling out of it. It mysteriously disappeared.

So glad I got a picture of it first. I dont know why the ones

from our phones are so small. Oh well. Still a good picture.

Enjoy the randomniss of this post. I am done for awhile.

Decorating the Tree and Family Party

Tree Decorating

Here are the kids with the decorated tree. I did have more pictures of that night but as you know....lost:( It was a fun night and the tree looked great.
On Friday December 17th we had our Waters Family Christmas Party. We ate dinner, acted out the Nativity story, played some table football, broke the Pinata, and did a treat exchange. It was a ton of fun. I love my family so much. My mom did a fabulous job with the invitations and the party. It was great to see my niece and nephew that I never get to see. Plus the treats I brought home were FANTASTIC!

Temple Square

For Family Home Evening on Monday December 13th, we got on Trax (our first time) and went to Temple Square to see the lights!The lights are so beautiful. It was a little chilly but not to bad. We wandered the visitors center and watched the Nativity Story on the grounds.



Then Dad treated us to a carriage ride. We haven't done it for a long time so it was GREAT! Our driver was amazing and told us a lot of facts about Salt Lake! I did have a picture of the kids with the horse but that one is lost :( It was a great night. Another Family Tradition to keep!
