Time of Your life

Spring brought Jared's dad getting really excited about the garden. One fun thing that grandpa did was buy each of the kids a citrus tree to call there own. My kids loved planting those trees and taking care of them all summer long. Spring also brought Brook getting asked to Prom. She got asked by a son of a lady that Jared dated in high school.

I told Brook that I would love to help with the feast so she told her teacher and before I knew it I was teamed up with my sister-in-law Julie to be the ones buying all the food for the feast and working in the kitchen every night. It was a ton of work and long nights but so fun to be a part of the whole thing. Madison loved sixth grade and one of her favorite things they d

London got to celebrate her tenth birthday on the 2nd of February. We did the usual dinner,presents,cake and ice cream.London is such a fun girl. She is always full of energy and loves life. She is someone that likes details. She goes the extra mile to help out around the house and is always willing to help with the little kids. She loves to play board games and is a snuggle girl. She is also a grandpa girl. She loves her grandpas very much. I love to watch her learn and grow. Happy Birthday sweet London we sure love you.

I saw this great idea on the internet and just had to make them. The kids had a blast with this cookie making experience. We did it for FHE on night and really enjoyed making and eating them.
