TOO COLD

...to sell Girl Scout Cookies.

But we did!

All THREE of my girls helped this year!  And they sold SO many!!

Poor girl fought me wearing pants...I hope she learned her lesson.  But...probably not, she is THAT stubborn!!

Baptism

I was so excited for Tatum to turn 8.  This is such a special birthday.  Not only does she get birthday parties, presents, cake and more...but the one best thing is that she can get baptized.  I wanted this day to be special for her.  I wanted her to realize what she was actually going to be doing.

Here are some pictures of her beautifully WHITE day :-)

Miss Attitude!


JUST A LITTLE EXCITED!!

PRESENT FROM GRANDPARENT ELDERS

Valentine's Day 2013

Happy V-Day

Sent all day at the school - on crutches (tore my calf muscle while running!)

at every child's class party.

I didn't get to go to Tatum's...only because she THREW UP in class right after school began!!

Gross!!

Poor thing!

 

My Pretty White Dress

While we were in Utah a few weeks ago I took pictures of Tatum outside the Logan Temple in her baptism dress.  She was so beautiful and it was FREEZING (-5 degrees!).  Reminded me of my wedding day.  She did great though.  She toughed through the cold and we got some pretty pictures.  There was a wedding going on when I was taking her pictures and everyone kept stopping to comment on how pretty Tay-Tay was :-)  It made her pose even more!!

The sun was so bright that she had a hard time keeping her eyes open!

adventures with zeke

Presentation at school

He had to research an important person in Colorado History

He chose:

John Frances Campion

He was the founder of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science

Field trip to:

State Capital Building

AND

Colorado History Museum

I feel so lucky that I have the time to go on field trips with my kids, especially Zeke.  I love how he still wants me around.  When we were sitting down for lunch he was sitting far away with a bunch of boys and I wasn't sure if I should go sit with him or sit with my "mom friends."  Before I could really decide, honestly, I probably would have sat with the other mom's just because I figured he wanted some time with his friends...he called to me:
Hey, Mom!  Come sit with me!
I have never felt so honored.
I love my son.
He better remember that once he moves away...gets married...that I am still his #1 fan!
