Family Tribute

A family starts with only two and if they're lucky and work can create something magical called a family. Something that I have had the honor to do! I absolutely "ADORE" my family and love them all unconditionally. They are my life..... It is an amazing feeling every day knowing that we are teaching our girls to go out in this world and become an inspiration to others. To show this world what they are capable of. The power they can have!

I came across a poem that I'd like to share, see below pass the photos!

I don't know when it started, Or how it all began. But God created families, As only our Lord can. He was teaching what it means, To love, honor, and obey. He wanted a strong bond, That we don't see too much today. He wanted someone to hold us, And show respect for others. He wanted someone who'd be gentle, And so he created mothers. He wanted someone strong, A support filled with love. And so he created fathers, Sent from heaven up above. Brothers and sisters came next, With that, an instant friend. Someone to look up to, Someone on who to depend. When he put them all together, He was amazed at what he'd done. He had created a family,Mother, father, daughter, son. But look at the family, Created by only two. How many we've become, And all because of you. We have a lot to be thankful for, The memories through the years. The many times together, Full of laughter, full of tears. I don't know where we'd be today, If it weren't for the two of you. To show us strength, support, and love, Like only the two of you can do.

*Happy 30th Birthday Mitch*

With Love to My Husband, Mitch, I look at the life we’ve created —our home, our family, our marriage —and I realize how lucky I am that we are two together... For, through it all,we have shared the same hopes,the same dreams, the same ideas about how to live and raise a family. And, through it all, I’ve come to appreciate you even more, for you are a truly remarkable man... and I’m still very much in love with you —now more than ever. I am so proud to be your wife, and look forward to 30 more years next to your side.

Happy Birthday!!

We spend this past weekend in Las Vegas for Mitch's Birthday and Valentine's! We had a "FABULOUS" time.... We were shopping in the fashion mall and came across these awesome styling sun glasses and had to get a photo!!! No, we didn't buy them but it was fun acting as silly as we did.... I have lots more fun photos to share, but as today is Mitch's birthday I am planning a BBQ so gotta get to work :) Don't worry, I'll post again tomorrow... :)

"Children learn what they LIVE"

If a child lives with criticism,He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,He learns to be SHYING.
If a child lives with shame,He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,He learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,He learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,He learns justince.
If a child lives with security,He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,He learns to find love in the world.

Pre "Valentine's Day"

Kassidee and Maddison put there valentine's together last night and had a great time! Maddison chose Bratz and Kassidee chose Cheetah Girls. They came with tattoo's and stickers so they wrote their names and stuck the tattoo's on with their pink heart stickers! It was cute to watch them, because they helped each other finish them all. Then they made some for their nanny and papa, cousins, and other friends not in there class! They were awesome when they were finished. We also read a book about valentines's day, and how to share and show love to one another! Maddison has her party today (Wednesday) at pre-school and Kassidee party is tomorrow (Thursday). I am involved in both so it's fun to see all the kids hand out their cute valentines! It's also fun to plan the activities for the kids... I cant wait to give the girls their cute things I got for them. I got each one a cute valentines shirt, coloring book with a fluffy pen. A puzzle, mini bear and a heart shaped chocolate box. It fits into these cute fluffy purses they can use for dress up.....

"Beautiful Day"

Sunday was such a warm sunny day! The girls played outside most of the day. Let me tell you - they were so EXCITED to wear tanks and short sleeve without jackets... Yahoo

It is finally nice to go outside and ride bikes and just hang out. The girls were so cute, showing me all their cute tricks on their scooters! Girls are definitely outdoor status! They love the heat and the water........... I am looking forward to this summer! I can't believe how big there getting. Kassidee will be 8 and Maddison 5 in July!

Perfect Attendance

My little Kassidee got a certificate today for perfect attendance! I couldn't resist I had to show it off :) Kassidee loves school SO much, she even goes when she's not feeling good either! So proud that she cares about her work and attendance at school. We are getting ready for her Valentine's Party! I love planning these too.

Unbelievable "SNOW" in St George

Oh my goodness, I am having flashbacks of Salt Lake.... LOL

Sunday evening (Superbowl to be exact), we got to enjoy seeing snow fall in sunny St George. Big flakes mind you! I remember the last two years in Febuary I was wearing shorts and tanks... Oh not this year, it's heavy coats with hats and gloves! The girls were diggin it though, having snow ball fights. They wanted to make a snowman, but there poor little fingers were frozen. My camera batteries went dead - so I missed out on some cute photos of them! No excuse, I could've drove my butt to buy batteries but roads were pretty bad! And of course no one knew how to drive. We had so many accidents... ha ha ha
It was fun though, wish it would have done this Christmas day... Mitch and I were laughing - we said we're pretty sure this is why we moved here (for NO SNOW).. hee hee
It was cute, we got home from Superbowl and Mitch said "I don't even have a snow shovel" so he used his big squeegie! Again, had no camera to take that one either :( Then to top the night off, our power went out while the girls were in the tub. You could only imagine how fast I got the flashlight. Girls were good sports :) The joys of weather

Good times! It all melted that next day...
