Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day everyone! It has been a busy few days with Ken gone to Colorado. The kids and I spent the evening eating heart-shaped pizza and watching movies with a friend of mine who is here from Washington for a few months doing and internship. Ken sent me a boquet of beautiful red roses and some chocolates! I sure have missed him. I am so grateful for all that he does to help around the house and with the kids! I realize more everyday that I can't live without him! Lexi woke up on Thursday running a fever and coughing so she had to miss her Valentine's Day party at school! She still isn't feeling well tonight. I sure hope she gets better soon. I am so grateful for my kids! They bring so much joy to our lives. I have posted just a few pics for fun. I love my little munchkins! (and the big one too:)

It's February Already!

Ok, I can't believe that it is almost the middle of February already. Things are so crazy around here lately that time is just flying by. The sheetrock guy finished the walls this weekend and Ken started hanging doors tonight! He is going goose hunting (with his business partner Jeff and a salesman that they work with) in Colorado on Wednesday so the construction in the basement will have to wait for a week. McKay has been busy playing basketball and his team is 5-0 for the season so far...go Destroyers!! Lexi and Kaitlyn are getting ready for the dance competitions to begin next month and Kaitlyn is getting ready for "Footloose" starting the 25th. She has been working very hard for this so everyone will have to come and see her! She is also performing for the district solo and ensemble competition on th 26th. She is singing a duet with her friend Fallon. Whew!!! Needless to say it has been a busy month for us. I love it though. It is fun to see the kids so involved in activities and I love to watch. I guess you could say that I am a pretty proud mom!

Still New at the "Blogging"

Ok, so I am not good at this blogging! It is much easier for me to work with "real" paper on my scrapbook pages and make it look cute...I can't figure out much but I will keep playing with this. I am determined to make mine look as good as some of the other ones I have seen! (Well, maybe not that cute but at least I am trying, right??!) I haven't taken very many pictures lately so these are the most current ones of the kids that I have taken that weren't just snap shots. The basement is coming along nicely. The sheetrock was delivered today and the guy is supposed to start hanging it tomorrow!!!! I am hopeful that we will be done by the end of March! We had fun this morning watching Kaitlyn and Lexi on Fox 13 news. Their dance team was on the morning news with "Big Buddah", he is a reporter that travels around and does different spots each morning from different events. I think they were doing it to promote So You Think You Can Dance that airs next week?? Who knows! Both girls were on and had their moment of fame. We have had parent teacher conferences this week and have been busy with that. Well, I'm off to run again...hopefully I can play around with this and do better.

About us...

I decided to start a new blog..especially since I couldn't log on to my last one for some reason! So I am starting over. I have had fun reading some new blogs and wanted to try again. I haven't figured out how to make it "cute" yet but I'll figure it out! So....just an update..We moved into our new house in West Haven in August. We have been busy getting adjusted to a new ward, school, friends etc. The kids are pretty settled and enjoying life again. Kaitlyn is 14 and in 8th grade. She enjoys school, friends, text messaging, dancing, and singing. She is one of the leads in the school production of "Footloose". She plays Wendy Jo, Ariel's friend...if you are a fan. McKay is 10 and in 5th grade. He enjoys sports of any kind, watching and playing. He is playing basketball and his team is 2 and 0 for the season so far! He plays point guard. McKay is a master at video games. He thinks it is fun to play his dad because he usually wins! He just started piano lessons last month and is doing great! Lexi is 6 and in 1st grade. She loves school and friends. She still enjoys dance, coloring, playing with her dolls and playing with friends. Lexi just lost another tooth tonight, with the help of dad! Ken has just been put in as 2nd couselor in our new wards' bishopric. Needless to say, he has been in a lot of meetings this past month! He is trying to get our basement finished in his spare time. We will hopefully be ready for the sheetrockers to start next week. I keep busy running our three children to their various activities and friends. I am in the primary presidency in our new ward and that has kept me busy lately. Well...that's just a quick update for everyone. I will try to post some pics of the new house soon!
