Oh how i've missed you blogging world and email!!!

Well, I have definately been going through internet withdrawals the past three weeks or so. It's amazing how much I miss it and I also have realized how much I ignored my kidlets...it has been kind of a bitter sweet experience.

Here are some pics of are latest happenings...I was called into YW as the beehive advisor, and they asked me to decorate for the YW in Excellence this past week. I am used to enrichment nights and going all out, so they were surprised to see what I had done. It is hard a pic of the entire room, it looked better together as a whole. Anyway, it was fun but I am glad it is over too.



Theme was the Garden of Values. This started out empty and each time they read their value and it's part, they would then stick the flower and that values color into the "Garden of Values" This was the end result.

We took the girls pics with their parents here. They had a lot of fun posing

We had these ribbons and it really just dressed up the room.

This was another picture taking setting.

Thanks to a lot of willing people, We were able to borrow most of the items and only spent $15 of the budget to decorate the whole cultural hall!


We made chex muddy buddies for the first time, at least since I've had kids...

...and boy did they love licking the bowls!

I am growing my hair out, at least trying, and just not sure what the heck you are supposed to do with long hair. honestly it ends up in a pony most of the time, but every once in a while I get the itch to gussy up! ;)

And here is our sweet little scarecrow that I believe was scaring himself!!! He wasn't too fond of the hat, but at least we got one pic before he ripped it off.

And my superhereos to the Rescue! Coleman wanted a bag just like Dalton's, so like a mad woman, i pulled out the scrapbooking supplies and whipped up an okay duplicate! He was happy at least.
We've been doing great these past few weeks. I just take care of the boys and continue teaching my 12 piano students. We are prepareing for a recital in december. So we will see if this one goes any better than the last!
We are all doing well health wise which is a heaven sent! We've had our share this year, so we will take what we're getting...it's been great!
I've had a few breakdowns, just being a mom, but am doing better at reading my scriptures and exersizing, which seems to be helping my moodiness! Isn't life wonderful?!?
Hope you are all doing well and again, I will post in a few more weeks.

You are so stinkin creative. I have never been one to have any sort of imagination or creativity. I really admire those who have that gift. It's so hard to let your hair grow out, but you can do so many more things with it long. Your boys sure look cute in their Halloween costumes.

How is Young Women's going? I miss being in there. It looks like you did another amazing job on decorating.

Oh my heck! (trite but true) I am astounded at your creative ideas. I love it! The pictures turned out very well. They are bigger than the screen when I click on them. SO good to have you back with a new blog. Will look forward to another one :-)

Wow what a great idea, I wish I had some pictures with my parents from those young womens activities like that. I love the scarecrow and the other costumes, your boys are so adorable! Glad you are all healthy and happy and i am so jealous that you teach piano lessons up there, I want you to teach them here to me and my kids. I just need to look for someone, I am sure a milion people teach them, I would just love to have my Jennie do it. Well I am glad to see you are still posting, I bet you have so much more time in the day without the computer to distract. Miss you Jen!
