Happy Birthday L.E!


Le. is in to....
Barbies, Imaginary play , High School Musical, Max and Ruby
Favorite Jokes...(that we hear over and over)
Why do hummingbirds hum? Because they forgot the words
What do you call a deer with no eyes? I have no I deer

Before she went to bed last night she said" Next time you see me I will be 5!" It seems like it went by that fast too... I woke up one morning and I have a beautiful, funny, loving, kind, stubborn, silly,giving, 5 year old. I love you, you are my happiness.

For her birthday we went to a a salon that caters to children, so she had a manicure. I know I will be creating a diva much too young.

So there has been some confusion on the halloween costumes... Mom was an old grandma. When the neighbor girl asked what she was and heard "old grandma" she said..."oh, thats what you really are" :)Dad was a goaly caught in the net, he had bandages all over him, Matthew was suppose to be an old lady with Annie but as soon as he put on the wig he had to be Weird Al. We miss you all tons.. P.S. Emily do you have a blog now? I couldn't find it

Obviously I am still figuring this out, because my lastpost was missing half my text.... We had a fun party for Reagans b-day,We all dressed up and had a spook ally and good food, mom went all out as usual. the entire week was full of primary parties school parties, L.E. had good use of her costume. I went to a few parties with friends... be greatful those of you that are married. Parties always reveal why there are so many people still single... :)Next week we are off to Spokane to visit Jimmy and Carly... can't wait.

This weekend was fun with Jimmy and Carly visiting. L.E. couldn't wait to see Hal and they played very well together I think only one or two biting incidents this time. We decided, much to Jimmy's dismay that Thanksgiving point would be fun for the kids. They loved the petting zoo and fed the chikens and goats and put their fingers right in their own mouths.I went golfing with the boys, still not very good, and my fantasy team made out with 193 points, I think that may be an all time record:)
From time to time I find myself reflecting on life and if i'm spending time on meaniful parts of it, and this was one of those weeks. Some patients in one of the offices I work in lost their 3 yr old daughter at Lake Powell, another family lost the bishop of their ward,and my good friend a baby that only could be with her for a short 24 weeks. Funerals can be so emotionaly draining, such sorrow for the loss and such happiness to know there will be such a great reunion someday. I know that is so easy for me to say.... I don't understand why I am so blessed. I tucked L.E. in extra tight tonight and sang just a few more songs even though it was past her bedtime, hopefully I can remember to do that more often

Oct.7, 2007




This weekend went by way too fast.Me, L.E., Grandma , Annie and Reagan went to visit the witches at Gardner Village. The girls loved all the pumpkins and fun fall decor. Reagan loved the witch riding a bike although I think she was a bit freaked out at first. Seeing the witch suspended in mid air while peddaling would be a scary sight at that age. L.E. was even happy this year to have her picture taken next to the witches... a big step from previous visits which usually ended in tears of fright. Even though I am not excited for cold weather, Fall is my favorite season. The leaves on the mountains are beautiful this year. We can't wait for Halloween!
L.E. has been busy the last few weeks playing soccer for the first time. She has her last game next week... her team has come a very long way. I think the first two weeks the other teams scored about 10 goals to our one, even though our team actually may have helped them a bit...oops. They have learned their directions, its not the end of the world to fall down, and they can "take one for the team" (or several). They are still learning that once the ball goes out of bounds they can stop play, ( although the parents enjoy then stilll chasing the ball through our chairs) they should wait for timeouts to get drinks instead of mid play,and to leave the dollie on the sideline.L.E. has scored two goals this season and wanted to make sure everyone saw it each time.
The rest of the weekend we moslty hung out at mom and dads, watched conferene and ate a lot of food. It was fun to have Annie and Mathew dowm all weekend and for Drew to make his occasional appearances. Of course we made it to Grandma Wynns for usual conference Sunday visit. It's just not the same with some of you so far away.
