HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

I am in a card swap club. This month we did Mother's Day cards. Here is the one I did. It seems like a lot of work, but it was therapeutic cutting out all the pieces. I love the Soft Sky color from Stampin' Up! I wish they were going to keep it!

A SAD DAY.....

My baby, JD, is the only baby I have had that has curly hair! It is so adorable, but alas, he is a boy. Rob has been wanting to cut if for a while now, but I have put him off for as long as I could. So today, I finally bit the bullet and buzzed it. (sniff, sniff)
Here are the before and after pictures.

We are also having an ongoing debate as to whether his name is JD or Joshy. I am determined to win that war. :)

HAPPY EASTER!

PICTURES

Okay, here are the before and after pictures. Can you tell a difference? I feel the same, but I hope I look different. This is me having lost 18 lbs so far. I hope to lose 5-10 more, but it is a start. ( I am wearing my skinny pants in this picture. :)

BRYCE'S BAPTISM

Bryce got baptized March 1, 2008 which just happened to be his Birthday as well! He was really nervous about getting "dunked". I told him it would be very quick and at least the water was warm.

The Spirit was really strong during the meeting. The Bishop stood at the end to welcome him into the ward. He had tears in his eyes as he told Bryce that he was overcome with the love Heavenly Father feels for Bryce. I also had the image of Bryce fighting valiantly in the the pre-existence. What a special boy!

After the baptism and confirmation we spent the day celebrating his birthday. We went to Red Robin where they sang to Bryce, Parker and JD since they all have birthdays this week. They even got a free hot fudge Sunday. The other kids were more than happy to help the boys eat it. We also went to see 'The Spiderwick Chronicles". Then we went home and had pizza and played the new Wii game he got for his birthday. What a fun day!

SKINNY JEANS HERE I COME

I am at the 16lb. mark and I fit into my SKINNY JEANS! WOOHOO! I have about 5-10 more lbs. to go before I am done, but I will post pictures. I just had to share. :)

BUNNIES

We are starting to get countrified! (is that a word?) We inherited some bunny rabbits from some people who are moving from the neighborhood. They are so cute!!! Their little hearts were racing as they were mauled by my children. We hope these bunnies will satisfy my kid's need to have a pet. They have been begging for a dog. Parker is holding Cocoa. I am holding Midnight and praying he doesn't pee on me!

Need a Good Book to Read?

I joined a book club almost a year ago that has really helped me to continue learning and growing. We each take turns picking books. Each member is so different in likes and personality and so are the books that are picked. I just thought I would share some of the books I have read because of it. All of them have been good and interesting. If you read one of the books off my list, let me know what you thought about it!
