Kindergarten Art

One of my favorite parts of Kindergarten is seeing the adorable artwork that comes home with Anamarie each day. This one was too adorable not to post. She's learning about the sounds of different things, and drew each picture as she made the sound. What an Artist!

Thankful For Technology :) My BFF by Sarah

I can't believe how far technology has come in these past 15 years! I am grateful to be here on this earth witnessing the fullness of many things, especially technology. From the Internet to the iPad, it keeps moving forward. I consider myself a tech junkie, and I love all the gadgets and devices that not only make our lives better, but they give us the ability to send data and communicate easier than any other time in history. For family night each week, we use our iPad and apple TV to watch inspirational stories of people on YouTube. Our favorites are the Mormon Messages found on their YouTube Channel, our kids love these! It truly is a gift from God! My wish is that everyone can use this gift for good to promote righteous messages and relationships.

Brady's 39th Birthday!!

I created this funny invite for Brady's 39th Birthday. Yes, That's Brady wearing "drag", and this picture has come back to haunt him!! He thought it would be funny to dress up as a woman for Halloween a few years ago, and I thought it would be funny to resurface this picture. I can't believe he found a dress and size 12 shoes that fit him. Notice the garments hanging out on the left side...LOL!!
Here's the Picture and the text from the original  invite that I created.

Anamarie Turns 6 Today!!

Anamarie was so excited this morning because she was finally 6!! Last night her and I cleaned her bedroom because the birthday fairy called me and said it needed to be clean so she wouldn't trip over anything when she came to bring her a surprise. So with a spotless bedroom, Anamarie was so excited about the birthday fairy coming that she didn't fall asleep until after midnight. She awoke to a bedroom full of balloons and a massive birthday banner. She ate Mr. Breakfast Buddy (egg sandwich, banana and bacon)...

...Good Morning Birthday Girl!

She went shopping with me to pick out her cake and twisted candles.

For dinner we had McDonald's and salad.

Everyone singing the birthday song. 

She was so upset that her little brother Brett blew out her candles before she could. So we re-lit them tried again...

This time ending in a successful candle blow-out for Anamarie.

The strangest thing happened tonight! The doorbell rang and Anamarie raced to see who was there. As she looked through the window she saw no one, so she opened the door and saw a wrapped present with Anamarie's name on it...

...The present was from Santa and this is what the letter said... 

"Happy 6th Birthday Anamarie!! I wanted to give you this last gift. I flew it all the way from the North Pole so that you could have it on your Birthday.  I hope you love this one of a kind Genuine gift. Remember, it comes to life when you sleep. I hope you have fun with this Special present. I have been watching you and you have been a great girl. I am so excited to bring you lots of presents on December 25th. Only 12 more days. Keep being a good girl.

Love, Santa

After reading the storybook of the "Elf on the Shelf" Anamarie was the lucky one to choose his name "Dovee"

What a great night for Anamarie! Here's her presents from us and Kim & Janise.

The Ahh Bra!

About 9 months ago, Madison and I were watching tv together with the younger 3 kids. As she turned the channel to watch something else, I told her to "go back". It was an infomercial for the glorious Ahh Bra. They were showcasing these bras on many different sizes of women. I thought this was quite humorous, so we watched it for about 5 more minutes before changing the channel. The next day Brett says "hey mom, where's your ahh bra?". He then races to my closet to find the prettiest ahh bra (my red one) and tells me to put it on. 9 months later, he still goes and gets my red "ahh bra" from my closet and insists that I wear it for the day.
Here's a picture of the ahh bra, that I stumbled upon while I was at Walgreen s the other day. Too funny, maybe I should get me one :)

Sarah, through Anamarie's Eyes :0

For the past 6 months, I have debated whether or not I should post this.  Anamarie has been known to never hold back on anything, even with her creative drawings. As she showed me her newest creation, I couldn't help but to laugh out loud in disbelief as I saw the provocative image of me. Pretty funny girl!!

Halloween Party 2011

Our family attended the Thresher's Halloween party on October 29th. The kids had a blast carving pumpkins, playing games, and winning candy. Anamarie has my luck when it comes to numbers, because she kept on rolling doubles, which won her lots of candy. Taylor, Maddy, Anamarie & Brett all carved cute pumpkins. It was Brett's first year carving, and he had no problem getting his hands dirty. Brady and I dressed up as Cleopatra & Julius Caesar and our love child Caesarion (William). A few people questioned our costumes because of the union of Cleopatra & Julius Caesar, thinking it was Mark Antony.  But, she was in fact Julius Caesars mistress and had a "love child" with him before she married Mark Antony. Taylor was a cool shark (Thanks Janise), Maddy was a red M&M (Thanks Janise), Anamarie was Spider Girl, Brett was Frankenstein (for the second year in a row), and William was Caesarion. Kim & Janise dressed up as Bedford, Wyoming Hippies ;)

9th Grade Band Bash!!

Taylor has mastered the Bass Clarinet!! For 3 years now, he has rented the same bass clarinet from his school for $70 a year. In 7th grade, His teacher told him about a bass clarinet that the school had for rent, we jumped on this opportunity because the same instrument at Bert Murdock Music was $25 a month to rent. This instrument must be 50 years old, or so it looks. When Taylor brought the instrument home for the first time, the case was so worn that the wood showed through in most places. So with a little time and a lot of black duck tape, we had that case looking like new in no time.

2011 American Fork Band Bash!

Once a year all the band classes from American Fork Junior High  & American Fork High combine for one big band bash. The highlight was watching Taylor's 9th Symphonic Band play and of course the American Fork Marching Band Grand Finale at the end, (Utah State Champs for many years). It was really cool, but my cell phone died during Taylor's performance, but I did manage to get a short video of him playing. In this video, he is right in the middle of the group.
