Mirror, Mirror, on the floor, who's the most handsome of them all???


Our mirror is on our floor right now as I am painting my room. Kellen is always walking up to the mirror and checking himself out. Perhaps he is a little vain... Either way it keeps him occupied while I am doing other stuff.

New Tile and tree stump




This month we took out almost all of our carpet and replaced it with tile. We did put some new carpet in the family room. It looks so much better! Also, I decided to cut down a tree in our front yard the other day. My neighbor helped me drag it over to the street for bulk trash. I got a little notice from the Town of Gilbert telling me that my tree was too big. Luckily, they took it anyway! Next time I put out another huge tree they are going to charge me $33. Oops! I just took a picture of the stump as I did not get a picture of the tree in time. Bulk trash was fast this month!

February Fun

I had to get into the garbage can to smash down some branches that Tommy just cut. Of course, Katie and Kellen thought this was the neatest thing! We all had to get in and have fun in the garbage can. Kinda gross!




Katie took this artsy picture of Tom. I thought it was kinda cool. She loves to take the camera and just take pics of anything. She's our future Ansel Adams!

PARTY!!! Read on...

Okay, so I was talking with my friend the other day about having a "Cinco De Mayo" party. It would be a family party. We would have all sorts of munchies and fun music for the kids to dance to. Also, a party is not a party without the LIMBO! Of course, we would have prizes for any and all winners. There would be a small charge for the party for the food and location. What is your vote?? Would you come, would your kids love it? The charge would be approx. $10 a family. Let me know! Or we were thinking an 80's theme, but without kids. Please, please share your thoughts. Anyone who wants to come is welcome!

You know you are really terrible at spanish when....



your daughter, who is currently in spanish lessons, corrects you! Oh wow, I knew I was horrible at pronunciation, but not that bad. Really though, my spanish teacher used to have me read the vocabulary words for the week just so he could get a good laugh. For those of you from high school reading this it was Senor Figueroa. Real nice of him, huh?

Also, Katie's latest thing is that sweet and sour sauce is Chinese Ketchup!!

In this picture Katie is sporting my grandma's wig.

Visiting Great Grandma and Grandpa

This last weekend we had the opportunity to fly up to VAncouver, Washington to visit my grandma. It was an emotional weekend as it was the last time I will see my grandma. She is suffering from cancer and her fight will soon come to an end. She is the strongest person I know as she has gone through chemo and everything else under the sun to fight this disease. The doctors give her only a few months to live. As sad as this is I am epecially grateful for the gospel. I know where she is going and that she will be so much happier! Instead of saying goodbye to her I simply said...see you later~ I love you Grandma!!!
