NINETEEN!

Where have all of the years gone??? It was just yesterday that we went to Logan Hospital to have Ben. I didn't believe the doctor when he said that you had red hair... both Russ & I were tow heads!!! So strong and handsome!!! You were always so independent... learning to walk... doing things yourself... It is nice to see you make these grown up decisions now as you become a man. Thanks Jeanette for the fabulous picture!!!

Is it who??? or hoot???

This is the cute owl ipod cozy we made Friday night. Everyone had a different ipod so they were all different sizes and shapes! TOO CUTE!

Party! Party!

Morgan & Madison.

The dead girl who got run over & the dead ballerina... see any connection here?

Laura always comes up with the cutest crafts for us all to do... I will post mine tomorrow!

Leftovers!!!

See anything that looks like it might be lost?

Finishing Touches

The Thomson Halloween party is an annual get together with any of the NON hunters in our family. Because of SWINE FLU it got changed to our house this week. I love having family and friends over... but with every crazy thing going on in my life my house needs a DEEP cleaning DESPERATELY!!! I vacuumed, washed light switches, put the gym back together etc... and put on a few of the finishing touches that I had been wanting to do, but not finding the time for!

I need to find some cute gourds for my table topper... but I LOVE the mum topiary!!! The wreath I had, I just added the letter & the ribbon! Cute idea I saw on Ucreate I think!

Sweet Fifteen!

We celebrated Meg's B-Day last week. WOW Fifteen! She is still my big helper and beautiful (not little anymore) girl! She is an excellent student, who I don't have to bug or prod to do her homework! LOVE YOU!

Life lesson...

This past week has been... oh, not so good! Morgan & Brayden were sick last week, but they got over it fairly quickly. Megan & Zack started on Thurs. kind of, & Russ started on Sunday. He got Zapped! He has been home this whole week! (He even missed out on hunting on Monday, his day off!) I have been threatening since Tuesday.. and Ben started yesterday!

It's hard when our large family gets sick! IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET RID OF ANYTHING!!!

ANYWAY.. on to my reason for this post.

Last week my visiting teachers learned of our woes! They called me and said that there was a present on the porch for us... (they didn't want to risk the gumbah!!!) Dinner, desert and enough drugs that I didn't have to go to the store!!! One of my children (who shall remain nameless for fear of embarrassing him!) commented on how great "THE CHURCH" is. He recognized that this gift was divine design... I am SOOO thankful for fabulous visiting teachers who came to our rescue!!! They not only took care of our needs, but gave one of my children a life lesson!

A trip to the salon...

Last week my friend Cami opened her cute little salon @ her house. I had won a set of glitter Gel toe nails at our wards service auction so Megan & I made an afternoon of it. Megan had her fingernails done. They look really cute!
