Random Updates...

It's been awhile since I have blogged so these go back a ways. I was looking through my pictures deciding what to post and here's what I came up with...

Valentines (told you it's been awhile)
My Visiting Teacher brought this very cute bread to us with some other festive Valentine's.

Talden made a "shark box" for his valentines.
The shark ate them all. :)


Jacie made a Bear Bag, but wanted to show her
TeePee project instead.


Josie's 3rd Birthday!!

She's so cute... and now fully potty trained. (Yay!!)

Josie with her new haircut.
Little Julia running at the park.

Jez's 30-Something Birthday! :)
Yes, his cake is a store bought brownie with M&M's.
Tells you what kind of days we've had around here.

Happy Birthday Present...

it has heated leather seats, sunroof, 6 disc CD changer,
drives safely down the interstate, cannot seat 7,
and is the first car that Jez has ever shopped for
and purchased for himself in his life...


Last Sunday we drove both vehicles down to see Jez's
family and then took his brother out to see his kids.
We took them to lunch and the park and then went
back and grilled out/made dinner for everyone
(his mom, dad, and two of his brothers).

Sound of Severe Weather/Tornado Siren
Just in case you've ever wondered what it might sound
like when the sky turns green and things are flying outside
your window. (You don't get the full effect because it is
sunny and bright in the video, but I'm not sure I will ever
get it in it's true form... this is on testing day.)
***Make sure to pause the music at the top of the page
so you can hear it better.***



Jez had his Regional Rock Star competition
last week in Minneapolis. We were hoping he would
get to go to Chicago for it, but they flew everyone
else here instead. They only selected the top 3 to
move on to the national and he didn't make it
to that one, but I am proud of him for
making it as far as he did and for all of his hard work.
He is always trying to work hard to take care of our
family and I appreciate all he does for us.
(Love you sweetie)
We collect keychains from places we've been and
things we do so he got one to add to our collection. :)


The kids made dinner Saturday night

Pigs in a blanket and fruit pizza...
(Not so healthy, but lots of fun...)



Jez worked all day yesterday so we celebrated
Mother's Day a day early. :)
