We Love You Mara!!


For those of you who don't know, a dear family in our ward lost their precious little girl to brain cancer on Monday.  Mara was such a beautiful person inside and out.  Please keep the Adam's family in your prayers.  If you would like to know more, I strongly encourage you to visit her website maraadams.com but you will probably want some tissues nearby.  Go back a few updates and read the inspiring words from her wonderful parents.  We love the Adam's family and will miss Mara a great deal!

The Latest in Facial Cream

I think Brooklyn might be onto something here.  I'm sure there is a huge market out there for Peanut Butter Facials.  If you're interested in being one of the first to try it, just let me know.  
P.S.  It's all natural!!!


P.S.S.  There are 2 more new posts, so keep reading. . .

First weeks of School

I've seen many people blog about the first day of school but since I'm a little behind, I thought I would title mine the first weeks of school.  The kids are doing really well in school.  
Nicholas has a great teacher name Mr. Morris.  I think him and Nicholas will get along pretty well, he seems really great.  Nicholas is also excited about all the fun things that 5th graders get to do.  They get to start band or ochestra. (Nicholas has elected to play the viola and is really excited about it)  They also get to have "jobs" around the school and Nicholas was chosen to be one of the kids that gets to change the letters on the big reader board outside the school. He also gets to go to 5th grade camp at the end of the year.  It should be a very busy but exciting year.  I can't believe that he will start middle school next year.  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Lucy is also doing very well in school.  She is a 2nd grader in a 2nd/3rd grade split class.  Her teacher is Ms. Ferguson.  Nicholas had her as well and I really like her.  She is really going to challenge the kids this year with  a brand new math curriculum that only her class is doing.  They also get to do fun book projects and other fun things that Lucy wouldn't get in a normal 2nd grade class.  It is so good to know that she will continue to get an excellent education.
Noah started afternoon pre-K.  I love his school, Lucy went there for 2 years as well and I just can't say enough good things about them.  His teachers have commented several times on how well he is doing and how much he has changed over the summer.  Overall, it looks like we are off to a great school year!





Road Trip: Part II

So I finally got the 2nd part of our road trip put into a movie.  We had a blast.  This video covers the aquarium, six flags, and our visit to park city.  It was so fun.  I hope you enjoy the movie.  Hopefully there will be one more to come.

Hallelujah!!

Yes, we made it back from our road trip in one piece, and I will have more to post on that later.  I just wanted to leave a quick post because Noah started his preschool today.  It is 4 days a week in the afternoons which is conveniently the same time Brooklyn takes her nap.  So I now have a solid 2 1/2 hours of peace and quiet.  Now I know that most of these days I will spend keeping up on housework or other motherly duties but I have promised myself at least one of these days a week I will do something I enjoy, whether it be scrapbooking, posting to the blog, reading a book, or just whatever I feel like.  I just wanted to share that.
