Young Women

Our ward reorganized the primary and young men and young women's presidencies, so I was released today. I didn't realize how hard that would be on me. I love those girls sooo much! I have been thinking of all of the fun things that we have done this year. One of my favorites was camp of course and the float trip down the river. There are so many others like the lake trip with the Polings and tubing behing the boat, bowling, craft making, etc. Here are the Beehives...Kim, Kayla, Megan, Camilla, Heather, Zoe at our "P" party (Pizza, Pigtails, Pajamas, and Personal Progress). I will miss all of the Young Women so much! They have such sweet spirits and are so much fun! It has been a wonderful learning experience to serve with them and the presidency!

Happy New Year!!

We had outstanding weather New Year's Day!! We decided to finish putting together the trampoline that the kids got for Christmas. We had a lot of fun together! Tommy and I worked together on the enclosure because the instructions were not to be found. I had to pull out the CD that came with it for one part. It all worked out though and I think that the kids are going to have a great time on the new trampoline. It seems to wear them out nicely too which works for me since they have way more energy than I do. Yes the cat in the picture. I'm not sure why, but Tommy thought that would be a good idea. It was short lived!

We also ate these pig candies that my dad gave us in our Christmas basket in the hotel. We were instructed to eat them on New Years Day for good luck. I hope they work!

The Grinch

I just walked through my living room and noticed that the Grinch movie is on....Still as of 1/4/2009. (Happy Birthday to our little 2 year old friend Emri today) Anyway, it made me think of how much Grinch we had this Christmas. My kids love it for some reason. Starting about November, we have read the book, watched the movie a ton, and listened to the neighbor's Grinch on the porch sing a million times...even in the freezing cold temperatures. This was a die hard situation. I would have to bundle up the kids to go to Brad and Suzy's porch and make the Grinch and Santa sing. We missed the family appointed Grinch this year...Uncle Brett. Oh the excitement of Christmas! I am glad to be starting a new year though. Happy 2009 to all!

Tagged...

This is my 6th picture from my 6th album for Becca and I am tagging 5 friends. At first I was concerned about how to find the correct picture because I haven't kept picture books very well. I was very good at cataloging pics on Shutterfly.com for the first couple years of Jaycie's life. I shared pics with family and friends that way. Anyway, it was very easy to find the 6th on Shutterfly! So...here it is. Tommy with Jaycie when she was about 3 mo old. I loved that little green suit she has on. She was so chunky that she couldn't wear it for long. It looks like a picture taken after Tommy got off work at Steve Bailey Honda since that is his old work uniform. Well, it was fun finding it. I haven't logged on Shutterfly in forever so there were lots of pics that I haven't seen in a while.

I TAG....Rissa (love to see your blog and you are falling behind), Val (enjoyed seeing you so much at Christmas), my friend Charly, Bronwyn if you happen to see this because I haven't figured out how to get to yours, and Lexie --who I know has already been tagged, but I haven't seen it and I am out of untagged friend bloggers. Happy posting!
