This was me being crafty this month. Abby had to have a treat for preschool so we made pink rice krispies with special valentine sprinkles. I took a couple extra, but apparently there was not enough cause the kids wanted more. She loves to make treats and share.
The pillow was my first embridory thing I have done I was proud of myself. It was easy and fun too. Abby says she needs a tinkerbell one now. HAHAHA!


Colton decided we need a miley spidey.


This was Hilarious!! Colton went and got in Abby's dress up stuff. Came up stairs and said look mom I am Abby. I laughed so hard I peed my pants!!! His dad said I was in big trouble when I sent him the picture!!



This is Miley's new favorite place. Any empty box of basket. She is content forever in them.





I just love to see when they are loving each other. I am so lucky cause my kids play like they are best friends.



Abby got her hair cut to help fix when she cut it.

I am so excited, I was sitting in sacrament last sunday when Miley grabbed my finger stuck it in her mouth, and yes it hurt because she has her first tooth. Then. we went to my in-laws after, and I was telling my mother - in - law about it. So she stuck her finger in there, and says she had 2. So then Abby and Colton want to feel, and see, and I pretty sure by the end of the day everyone had their fingers in her mouth. Isn't that grand. I think it is hilarious that everyone had to stick their fingers in her mouth.
I also had to speak the Sunday before that. I was so stressed. I had no idea what came out of my mouth. I just read my paper, and tried not to cry. I don't know why it is but everytime I get in front of people I get so emotional. Oh well it is over, thank goodness. I decided the only good thing about talking is the learning. I got the subject humility. I did not realize how complex that subject is. There is so much to learn about one word. It was amazing I had a hard time putting all my facts together, and deciding which one to share. I was also proud of my husband. He got his talk done in between all his craziness in his life.
I am also really sorry you get lots of stories, but I am working on getting a new camera I am just having a hard time deciding which one I want. I am getting one though. We are planning our family vacation this year, and we are going to New York. I am so excited never been there. We are going to see the Joseph Smith Musuem thing, and if we have time we might hit niagra falls. We will be visting my mother- in - laws family. I can't wait.

It has been so busy the last few weeks. We had a fun pony party for Abby she is now 5. It was so fun. It was a My little pony party. It was hard cause there is not much little pony party stuff so I had to really use my head. It was a great success though. All the girls loved it. Abby's favorite part was the cowboy boot pinata. I would have guessed the barrell racing on the stick horses would have been. She did not want to stop. I just can't believe my baby is 5!! She is always reminding me she is 5 and now she can go to the big school now.
Colton has been keeping me running. He is big on going outside so the past few days when the sun pops out he tells me it is warm outside cause the sun is out. Then he goes outside for a few minutes, and comes in and says that he has changed his mind.
Little Miley is starting to really think she is big. She is sitting, rolling, shaking her head No (not my favorite thing when I am trying to feed her), and she is a jumper in her little jumperoo. My arms get the workout, when I am not home to use the jumperoo. She is also laughs over everything. Last Sunday in church all Abby had to do was look at her and she would laugh, so of course Abby kept it up till I had to move Abby on the other side of Jon.
Besides the kids growing I have the best news I finally got a brand new huge set of a washer and dryer. Who knew that would be so exciting. To me it is wonderful especially during the winter.
I also I am just now getting the hang of being a single mom. Jon leaves at 5am and does not get home till 7 or 7:30pm. He is doing that 6 days a week. It has been a big adjustment for us, but I am so grateful he has a job.
That catches you up on almost everything we have been doing the last few weeks.
One thing that I am not looking forward to going through again is my little girl got her heart broken. Her best friend, donkey, was takin to a new home. My husbands friend needed to get rid of him, and we have been having him stay in our pasture. So little Abby has become quite attached, and when they came to get it she was trying to tell them that they needed to come back later. It was so sad.
Enjoy SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!! I am going for the underdogs.
