Days at Disneyland with Grandparents!

Joe's parents came down from Oregon to visit different family members and stopped into spend time with us before they made their way back to Oregon. We spent one day at Disneyland with them. We had a great time going on rides and just relaxing. Danny did not want to ride with anyone but Grandpa the whole day, they became official ride riding partners.

I feel blessed!

I was just thinking about this time in my life and how blessed I really am. I am grateful for my husband, he is such an amazing man and my best friend. He keeps me grounded and tries to keep me from getting too stressed out. I love him very much. I am also grateful for my children, even though they keep me on my toes and if you know me I don't always have the most patience but I could not imagine my life with out them in it. One day we were at Disneyland and Danny wandered off and I thought I was going to die, it scared me so much. I realized how much I love him and am so glad that he is in my life. Next I am grateful that I am a member of the church, it sure helps keep me focused on what is really important and what is not. I am also grateful to all of my friends. They are the best! Whether they are close or far away they have all been such an amazing influence in my life and I would not be the person I am today without them. Finally I am grateful to my extended family and the way they are always there for me in my life. I could go on and on, but I won't. If you are reading this you probably fit into one of these categories and so I thank you! You mean everything to me!

Kayla is a star!

Today, Danny, Jenna and I went to see Kayla perform in a play at school. It was so great. The play was the 3 Nanny Goats Gruff and Kayla played the troll. She sang solo's had parts that she did and performed to her best. It was one of those proud moments as a mother. She seemed to have the most parts besides the narrator. I think this is her calling in life to be in drama, she has an amazing photographic memory and does not get stage fright. Last night before she went to bed she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep she was so excited for her play. I think that I am going to have to sign her up for plays.

My little Artist

She is an artist! Jenna loves to draw and color. She is very artistic for a two year old and will tell me what she is drawing and it sometimes will even look like what she is drawing. This picture is of two people. I love that she is doing things so well!

Lets play dress up

My sister gave me fun dress up clothes for my kids. Well, we get home and Jenna is all over the clothes. I think this combination of outfit is just gorgeous. Of course, then Danny had to get into the act, and since the only costume I have for boys is a Indian costume, well there he is!

February Snow!!

It actually snowed in February! We have had snow this year, but this is crazy. I asked Joe if we moved to the snow, not the desert. My dad asked if overnight apple valley was transported to Idaho. I guess it just goes along with friday the 13th, strange things happen!

I have a famous kid!

This last Tuesday we went to the after school program at the library. They had a guy come in that brought many different kind of drums from different places, as far as Africa and Brazil. It was a really cool program, because at the end of the program the kids get to pick a drum and we all play music together. Now here comes the really cool part, the Daily Press (our local newspaper) was there and took pictures of Kayla and Danny. He asked me questions about them and told me they would probably be in the paper. Well, they made it in there and now Danny, (who is named in the caption) has been in the paper twice, he must be destined for greatness!
