Our New Niece

Welcome to the world baby Emily!

John and Holly had their baby February 26th at 5:21 in the morning. I got to watch Sydney and Broolyn and they had a lot of fun playing with my kids. John called at 4 in the morning and I got there as fast as I could, at 4:30, they were in the hospital only 41 minutes until Emily was born. She weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces and was 21 inches long.

CONGRATULATIONS JOHN AND HOLLY!

Matthew's Baptism Invitation

I have been learning how to use Photoshop Elements 8 from a cousin! I am way excited to start digital scrapbooking. I made these invitations for Matthews Baptism and they are being printed at Sams Club. I hope they turn out.

Princess Brianna!

So the other day Brianna comes walking in dressed up like a princess. She looked so beautiful, like always, and asks "Mom, will you please take my picture?" so I did. We are so blessed to have Brianna in our family. I love having a little girl and she is so much fun to have around. She will always be our little princess!

Basketball!

So this year I put Matthew in Basketball and at his first practice the coach asked if anyone had any brothers or sisters that could play with them for practice time. I took Brianna to the next practice and she loved it so I asked the coach if she could not just practice with them but be on the team. He said that would be great! So Matthew and Brianna play on the same team and they both love it! Here they are after their last game.

Their shirts are reversiable so they can be either blue or white. Every team has the same shirt so it works out great. We love watching them play. The kids on the team are fun to watch. Sometimes we just have to laugh a little.

Outside Fun!

The kids love playing in the snow! I can't remember what I was doing at the time, but when I was gone, Robert got the kids all dressed up and they went outside and made snow angels and snowmen. They had a blast!

Ward Christmas Party! (Sorry I am late posting)

Our ward Christmas Party was great! I was one of the helpers to make sure all the food got there again this year. I called all the people and reminded them what to bring and the party was a success! We ate dinner and then we had a little Christmas program. Then the big guy showed up and read a story and talked to all the little children. All in all it was a great night!

Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know that it is almost Christmas and I am barely doing Thanksgiving pictures, sorry. We ate Thanksgiving dinner with my family and then we headed out to Malta for the rest of the weekend. We had fun playing games, visiting with each other, and eating lots of yummy food.
