Playing nicely

Rach and D played with these sticker dolls for over an hour last night nicely! It was heaven!

Now rach is playing them this morning and once again it's been over an hour. She is quiet, engaged, and happy! I love good birthday gifts!

Temple square lights, Aquarium, Santa Clause, and cousin fun! 

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we got lucky and had lunch at my moms and dinner  was with Adams family. Thanks Jan and Steve Davis for having us. Love you all! So grateful for my family and beautiful children! Good food, family, and friends!

Sara bridal shower

Last Saturday was Sara's shower. Jared and Sara are getting married dec 11th. We had a good time together. Lisa and I especially loved hearing grandmas stories. She is hilarious! We got this priceless picture. 

I made them this plate, in their wedding colors. Hopefully it will be an "every season" decoration for their home. 

Congrats Jared and Sara! 

3 years old!

Happy BIRDY Rachie!
And Grandma Trudy too!
Thanks all who came to the small family party. (Friend party in another post.)
We love you!

Colored Water fun!

With the cooler weather it is time to start getting creative with our afternoons. This week we played with colored water and experimented with mixing two colors together to make a new color. The kids LOVED it!

Aren't they sweet? I love moments like this! FUN!

Rachie's friend party!

Rach turned 3!

Rachel wanted a Minnie Mouse birthday for her 3rd birthday! So I got the decorations, visited amazon.com for rings to top the cupcakes, bought balloons and hats. She had three friends, Lydia, Elijah and Miles come to her party plus Dayton. She even had a magician, lucky girl! The kids LOVED Jared. He did a great job!

Her Friends that came!

The magician! The kids were in awe! Literally so perfect for this age!

We played games like pin the bow on minnie, duck duck goose, and button button who has the button?

She was so happy!

Opening presents! She hugged everyone after she opened their gift.

Singing and cake!

Happy Birthday Rachel! We are glad you are in our family!
