Spring Soccer

Dawn and Scott have both started up Spring soccer. They each had two games and many cancelled practices or games due to the lovely snowy weather. Here are a few highlights.

Dawn is a true hustler. She is always where she is supposed to be and running to help out.

Scott's first game he had 6 of these:

Followed by 6 of these:

Ha ha ha, kids are so great!

Rachel's Gymnastics

Rachel decided to take gymnastics this year instead of soccer. She has really enjoyed it. Monday was her last day and a parent day. Being maybe our most accident prone child, we were a little worried about how she'd fare in gymnastics. We were delighted with how well she did, especially on the beam. You'll have to take my word on that since our battery died. She was at the top or near the top of her class. Hopefully that will translate into fewer scraped knees and teary eyes.

Pretty Dining Rooms

I would love to eat my breakfast of yogurt parfait in any of these dining nooks. Aren't they gorgeous?

Happy Birthday Charity

Oh, our sweet girl isn't really a baby anymore. I was totally excited for her birthday until Matt pointed that out to me. Then I was a little bummed. I loved Charity's first year. She was so sweet and beautiful and lovable. I'm sure she will be in her second year, too. But you know, she won't be a baby.


She had a great time, dove right into her cake and loved her little walker/stroller. It was a great success.

Jewelry Box Cake

Who can find a a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

A few weeks ago I made this cake for a Relief Society birthday party cake decorating contest. It was a nightmare. It looked easy, but the lid kept falling apart, the sides kept tipping over, blah. I'm glad it's over.

Can you believe I won? I did, out of two entries! Ha ha. At least I won a fabulous prize! a gift certificate to Panda Express.



Then, as a double bonus, I gave it to my friend and her sweet new baby, Anne.

New links

I know about family blog roles. You skip them (at least I do). So I've added a few of my current favorite blog links. Check them out if you have a minute or two. I think you'll love them, too.

Snow, snow go away.

Don't come back until November! I'm ready for this. . .
