Alex is 12!!

Alex is 12 today. Tomorrow is her first day in Young Womens. I can't believe how fast time has gone. I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday.


What an amazing girl she has become. I am so proud to be her mother. She is so sweet, she is a hard worker, she is always willing to help, she loves life.

Happy Birthday to our Allie Ballie you are awesome.

Friendship

"Friendship is one of the grand fundamental principles of 'Mormonism'; [it is designed] to revolutionize and civilize the world, and cause wars and contentions to cease and men to become friends and brothers. . . . Friendship is like Brother [Theodore] Turley in his blacksmith shop welding iron to iron; it unites the human family with its happy influence" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 463).

Thanks for being my friend. I am truly blessed.

Sweet thoughts

"The most important decision of life is the decision concerning your companion. Choose prayerfully. And when you are married, be fiercely loyal to one another. Selfishness is the great destroyer of happy family life. I have this one suggestion to offer. If you will make your first concern the comfort, the well-being, and the happiness of your companion, sublimating any personal concern to that loftier goal, you will be happy, and your marriage will go on through eternity" (The Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 328-329).

I need to work on this and make it a part of my life everyday. I always tend to be more selfish than I should be.

February Projects

I was asked to sew Emilee's dress for her play. I was so nervous but was excited for a challenge. I have only put together things for my girls and my nieces before. This was also the 2 time I have ever put a zipper into something.


I also finished my quilt top. I think it turned out so cute.

SPRING

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~Anne Bradstreet

I hope next week I can get out and play in the dirt. :)

Blue and Gold

This year we are celebrating 100 years of Cub Scouting. For the Blue and Gold it was a birthday party. Here is our cute cake. I think Macey's did a fantastic job.


The boys have been working really had and we had 1/2 get awards last night along with some of our outstanding leaders. They work so hard. I am so impressed with all our leaders do. They really do an awesome job and the kids love them.


Braydon was able to get several awards last night. I am so proud of how excited he is to work so that he can get his achievements.

Thank You to all our great Scout Leaders and Bishopric who support our boys.

Sewing-- Who knew

So now I have this bug that is growing inside of me to just sew and sew and sew. Here are a few projects I have been working on.



This was for my sister-in-laws Birthday. The clover is on one side the Easter Egg on the back.

I didn't know if the Leprechaun would work but I think it turned out so cute.

Here is the front all put together.
