Best Friends!

Just wanted to a little post about Damon and the little girl, Taylor, who I watch a few days a week. They are such cute little friends. Now that they both talk (Taylor seriously talks like she is a teenager - I'm not kidding) - I sit and listen to them have these adorable little 2 year old conversations, and I almost bust up laughing. They of course have their "terrible two" moments, but for the most part they sincerely care about each other. If one falls down, the other runs over to help them up. They say "thank you" and "you're welcome" to each other and hopefully they will be friends for life. I feel so blessed to have this sweet little girl in our home for a couple of days each week. Love you Taylor!
They love holding hands....

New favorite past-time...playing in the sink! Damon always ends up shirtless.
A cute matching "Sundance Film Festival" t-shirt from Taylor's sweet mom, Sue. Thanks!
After a long play group trek downtown - they both zonked out on the Metro...sweet kids

One project down....

Well...it took a while, but I finally got all of these frames hung up. It's a project I've been thinking about for a long time...and thanks to my very good friend Jackie...we got it done! (we did it last month, but I forgot to blog about it). So THANK YOU JACKIE! It wasn't easy with hammers, measuring tapes, nails, and 3 little kids running around! I couldn't have done it without her! Okay - so some of them look crooked in this picture...but I swear they look straight in real life!

A Valentine's to Remember

So I know I'm a few days behind on doing a Valentines post...oh well. Better late than never. I need to give a big THANK YOU to our good friends, the Cannons, for throwing such a fun Valentines Party. The kids had so much fun playing (and eating treats) all night. A lot of people came, which made it so much fun! I didn't include pics of everyone, because there were a ton of people..and.....my camera, of course died while at the party, so thanks to Jackie for letting me steal her pictures....lots of them...

Brigham and Alexandra....the wonderful host and hostess!
These are the most adorable little doggie cupcakes made by Tiana and Elizabeth! So cute!

One of my Favorites!

A few months back we were having a Girls Night at my friend Jenny's house, (actually watching another all time favorite "Sound of Music" - are we dorks?) and I saw this movie sitting on her shelf of DVD's UPOPENED! I couldn't believe she had never even seen it. It has been one of my favorites movies since I was young...but I hadn't seen it in such a long time - that I had kind of forgotten about it...well not forgotten..but you know what I mean...so I borrowed it (and have yet to return it to her...whoops...hee hee...), then last week I saw the movie at my good friend, Jackie's house...She didn't have a choice but to watch it with me....I just love it! I told my husband that one day (many years from now) we need to go to that hotel! It looks so amazing! If you haven't seen it...you definitely need to. - warning - it is kind of depressing...but most good love stories are at some point....

Damon has also informed me that he really likes this movie, and he has tried to pull it off our shelf to get me to watch it with him...kind of funny....

Just a few more....

Just a few more pics of our boy....The lady at PicturePeople said that she wanted to hang this first picture up in their store....along with the picture from my previous blog...so if anyone out here in DC happens to be at Tyson's Corner...check the PicturePeople store and see if he's really hanging up in there!

I just love him

So just ignore the big word "zazzle" across my kids face....it's just because this picture is from the email that picturepeople sent me from his sitting last week. If its illegal to post this picture...please tell me cause I obviously dont' know for sure!

Just wanted to post about my sweet, adorable, darling boy. I feel like the luckiest mom in the world. He is sweet, funny, and so forgiving. Somehow, even after he gets in trouble, or one of us gets upset with the other about something, he still comes to me and wants me to cuddle with him. I really need to take advantage of that while it lasts, because as an adult - the last thing I want to do with someone after I am upset with them is snuggle up! I just love my boy and I am so grateful that I get to play with him every single day. I love his laugh, his smile, his cry, his long eyelashes, his curiosity, his big blue eyes, his voice, and just everything else about him. Love you bud!

Sweet President Hinckley

Just a little mention of how much I loved our sweet prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. What an amazing, warm, adorable, strong, spiritual, loving, and funny man. He has done so much for the LDS church, and has greatly influenced my life. I will never forget when I was able to go to a General Conference - maybe 6 or 7 years ago - everyone was sitting in the conference waiting for things to get started, 10's of thousands of people talking with their families and friends, then suddenly...out of no where ....silence. Then everyone stood and watched President Hinckley and his counselors enter the room. One of the cutest things I've ever seen was as he walked past his wife who was standing in front of her seat, he reached over with his cane, and tapped her on the leg. We Thank Thee O God For A Prophet was of course sung by the congregation, and I don't know if I have ever in my life felt the spirit so strongly. For one man's countenance to project the most amazing feeling I have ever felt must say something about President Hinckley. I am so grateful for his life, for his testimony, for his humor,for his amazing example and for the love that I know that he has for all of us.
