Birthday Celebration!!!

Happy Birthday SISTER!!! It is Janalee's birthday and she is well into her 30's, OK just barely getting started. She is the mother of 5 very cute and creative kids. Her husband (Ryan) is getting used to her sense of humor. She is a wonderful public speaker, loves politics, gets dirty with her kids. She sings beautifully, doesn't want people to know she can cook. She makes great jewelry and hates to sew. I love her. People often tell us we look alike and act alike, I consider that a compliment, but feel bad for her. We are 12 years different in age and I am sure my family would agree, if we were any closer my parents would have struggled because out of the 4 children her and I are the most talkative. I hope your day is a good one, you deserve the best year yet!!!

Ball Park Funny

I saw one of the funniest things on the ball diamond tonight at Josh's game. 3 ducks; 2 males and 1 female trying to mate in outfield. I felt bad for the girl, those guys chased her all over the place or maybe they may have all had a bad case of spring fever. Sometimes the most fun I have at the ball park is watching what goes on everywhere else but the field. Sorry Bart and Josh.

Meet Makena, don't let that sweet face fool you she is sneaky and witty. She may have had one of the best one liners last Sunday that I can't get out of my head. We were talking about how the sacrament bread had beans in it and wasn't cooked, on the way home from church, when she immediately told us all it would have been "bedda with butta" on it. I think I agree with this cute girl that most things are better with a little butter on it. Okay so the bread was cooked and didn't have beans, it was just a whole grain home made bread, but what do little 4 year old boys know. (Nick does seem to know more than most or he will talk so much you just agree to hear yourself think)

LUCKY

I won "Block Jack" at quilt guild yesterday, the rules are simple: make a block put your name in the hat and walk away with enough blocks to make a quilt. Now I have played a couple of times and have not won, but yesterday everything changed. I WON!!! A little back story, my friends and family think I always win, I disagree, I have yet to win the publisher's sweepstakes or the HGTV's Dream Home, but I will keep entering.


I have been in Oklahoma for 8 days taking care of my sister's children. I had a blast and we did a lot of things along with the regular amount of things that are involved with taking care of 5 children. We made Easter skirts, Easter eggs, went to the movies and read a lot of books (my favorite). I am so glad that my mom and Hayden were with me. I love my family even if they may be older than Yoda or smell like an elephant's cage.



I will miss seeing Nate, Nick, Makena, Emilee, and Alana every day but when they move to Yakima I hope we can see each other more often.

Isn't she cute!!! I recently finished this apron, I think it turned out cute. I am so glad I can sew, THANKS MOM. I also have to admit I even took 4-H and sewed on an old fashioned treadle machine.

OK the truth is I don't get to keep the apron (even though it matches my room wonderfully) because it is a gift for a dear friend.

Happy Birthday Spring.
