Happy Birthday Ali-bear!

Last Friday was Al's birthday.

Everybody say HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL!!!

al6

She is now five years old.

Okay, not really she is seven.

Okay, FINE she is NINE!

Yes, nine! My little girl is getting big.

I don't know where the time is going but every time I look up a year has passed.

Al, had a pretty good birthday.

After going to a very cold, very wet, very long soccer game, we headed to Salt Lake to Build-a-Bear.

Everybody say hello to Jacob

Yes, my cute little (FINE almost big) girl made a boy, basketball playing turtle, named Jacob.

Whom she loves.

As long as it is a stuff animal I'm okay. The birthday that she brings home a basket ball playing "boy" named Jacob, whom she loves, will be a whole other story.

After we got home dad made her favorite meal and the rest of us got busy making birthday cupcakes.

Pink and Purple of course! I still have one girl who loves pink and purple.

Then we ate, sang happy birthday, ate the cupcakes and are still working on cleaning up the sprinkles.

It was a great 5th birthday.

Whatever, this is my blog. Get your own and tell me she is nine. I like the world of denial.


PS When Al was little I called her Ali-bear, her dad soon turned it into Albert, when she was three if you asked her her name she would tell you it was Albert. She even insisted we call her Albert. Again, I ask, "Where does the time go."

I'll definitely have to show my kids this one!!! Hope she had fun the cupcakes look great! I'm the control freak mom that goes insane letting my kids do that kind of thing.

Your denial about how old AL is getting had me counting and recounting the candles in the picture. "No, there's more than five there... one, tow, three, four... Oh, she just said it right there... AL's nine"

Interesting name for her stuffed animal... hmmm.... a little crush, maybe?

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
