Real tree

December 2010 southern Tooele county was actually snowy this year when we went for our tree!  Glad all went well.

Saturday Out

At beautiful temple square.  What really matters most- family!

We had lunch at Litza's Pizza and then toured the conference center and temple part of temple square.  We ended in the Church History Museum in the children's area.  Tired but happy at the end of the day.

Celebration on a Monday night

Jed had a birthday shout hooray!  Can't remember what all happened that day but it was the first time I bought a cake for him instead of making it.

I love my kids!  I hope this year is amazing.  We all keep trying and doing better. 

What a lot there is to learn! 

Happy Birthday dear Paige

Gifts first.  New dress, doll outfit, lotion and lipgloss, paints ect.

Louis trying out the foot massager that came with nail stickers.

Cake time!  Mom wasn't paying attention and we didn't even have a quarter cup of powdered sugar for the frosting.  So we made frosting with pudding and whipped topping- a recipe from Kraft.  It was yummy but hard to make nice polka dots with.  We celebrated her birthday a couple days early since Mom was going to girls camp on her birthday!  Also, Grandma and Grandpa Olsen could make it on that day.  G and G Vorwaller were on a trip that week.  We were a small group but it was a fun time.  11 years old!

At the pool

We always have a lot of fun at the pool!

It was hard to get this shot.  Lucy kept poping up too soon and some girl kept trying to get in the picture.  After I took it Louis said "Did you see my finger?"  what a stinker. Oh well.

We were done trying to get pictures.

Tyson is in the center.  To the left of Lucy in the yellow tube.  He was hard to get a picture of.  He loved going down the slide by himself.

Family Day

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Olsen's house the Saturday before Memorial day.  I felt we should stop at the cemetary in Farmington.  We did and left some irises on Broschinsky and Knowlton graves.  I cried a bit.  It had been a while since we have stopped there.  I really have felt an urgency about those who have gone before us.  Louis was asleep so we didn't stay too long.  I think he needed a nap since his hurt hand trauma.  He wanted to stop the tread mill when I was on it that morning.  He didn't want to go to Grandmas because he wanted to play on the computer.  Uggh.  I hope he learned his lesson.  He had a wrapped hand for a few weeks and still has a bandaid on one finger as of June 29, 2010.  I talked to him about talking to me when he wants something so we can work it out and not get hurt.

We went to the cemetary in Milton too.  It was beautiful.  All day had been off and on showers.  I liked this picture of Paige.  Lucy was having fun with dress up at Grandmas.  Louis was in his pajamas all day since he didn't want his hand bothered getting them off.  The next day we cut the one arm open to get his hand out with minimal trauma.  We were still late for church- not knowing how long it would take us to get him ready.
