Long time no see!!

Okay!! I know it's been along time, almost a year! I guess this has just been the last thing on my to do list. Now that you know that, you see how seldom I get to the very bottom of it.

I lost my camera in July of last year. We went to Magic Reservoir for a fishing trip one day and thought we must have left it up there. I was pretty upset. We had pictures on there of the activity day Daddy-Daughter dance and fishing trips and other things. We didn't go get another camera immediately, so that was hard when the first day of school rolled around. I snapped pictures of the girls with my phone. Not the best pictures. Jon got me a new camera for Christmas. Not two days later we were going somewhere in his car, yes, the one we drove to Magic Reservoir. I opened up the ash tray to see if he had some spare change and right there was our camera!! I remembered putting it in there once I found it. How sad is that? Ha! So, now we have the two and I still haven't blogged. I'll try to catch up.

Madi doing The Wave

Madi came up to me yesterday and said, "Mom, look what I can do with my belly!!" I can't help but laugh and laugh and thought you all would too...enjoy!! (Sorry about her dress...hair...etc.....she's four.)

Madi had a Birthday!

I LOVE this picture of Madison. It couldn't be any better. She had pre-school on her birthday. So, I made her some fun cupcakes and took them over. When we walked in I heard a lot of giggling, but didn't see anyone. All the kids were hiding so they could jump out and surprise her. She thought it was great. I guess when it was time to come up for snack this is the outfit Madi had on. It doesn't surprise me....I see her in all sorts of things.....and if you don't believe me just scroll down to set the get-up she had on in the snow!! But, here you go, this picture sums Madi - at four- up pretty well. Crazy fun!

PRIVATE

Okay, so I went PRIVATE this last week. I feel like I have to explain......when I first set this blog up my father expressed his CONCERN that anyone could look at it. I felt like as long as I didn't put any personal information, about where we live or anything, I was okay. Well, the last time I was updating my blog I noticed this guy in my "followers" bar. I tried to find info on him...blah, blah, blah, but couldn't find anything. I wondered...why the heck is this guy following MY blog???? It made me feel uncomfortable that ANYBODY COULD LOOK AT MY BLOG. (Yeah, I know my Dad already warned me of this...but I had to do it my way first.) When I decided to set it to private a friend told me, most of the people in the blogosphere world are good people.... I agree, but there is a small percent that make it that we even have the concern....so, I hope you are all able to get on here okay. If you receive a notice one time when you log in that your invite has expired...try it anyway...I've noticed with some that I've been invited to that I can still log in even thought the invite has expired. Love, Amos

Signs

One of the women I work with in Young Women asked me to make these for a wedding she catered a couple weeks ago. I thought they turned out nice. She told me their colors were black, white and a little bit of red. So this is what I ended up with. If you can't see, I inked the edges of the white cardstock with red. I thought they turned out nice, and Pam loved them too. Yay!!

JELLY ROLL

I haven't posted in awhile, so here I sit at 11:20 pm blogging. I keep thinking I need to do this, and never get around to it. So, here we go. These next 3 pictures have no blog entry really to go with them....I just think they are funny and cute.


Madi got to lick the spoons after I made GREEN Rice Krispie treats for mutual.

I thought this was a good picture of Bailey just enjoying her Easter basket.

Kylie came out of her bedroom the other day with this get-up on. She said she was a super hero! She put her toast colored dance tights on over her leotard, and then put these pink underwear on over the top of them. I thought it was hilarious and she thought it was ingenious.

This is the pic to my Easter morning post that never attatched.....deal with it....ha ha.

Easter

Ok, I'm posting these a little out of order, but we'll all live won't we? This is Easter morning. Of course the kids just got out of bed, so they're looking a little wild. I don't know what this first picture is except that is shows I let the kids get themselves ready for bed. Kylie is wearing a DAD T-shirt, and Bailey is wearing some jammies that are a little too short. Oh well. The Easter Bunny hides the kids baskets each year....so they were off hunting first thing. They all really enjoyed the flarp....Bailey enjoyed it so much she took it to school the next day to show her teacher how WONDERFUL it was too. I'm sure Mrs. Olson LOVED it. Really. The Easter Bunny also hid eggs all over the house that the kids got to collect. Jon held onto Kylie and Bailey while Madison got a head start. I just noticed that picture did not attach so I'll attach it to my next post...grrrr......
