Memory Box Mini Retreat

This weekend was the Memory Box Mini Retreat. I was a little nervous about it, I always am it is always so hard to please a large group of ladies. It was really fun though and there was no need to worry. Everyone seemed to have a fabulous time and it is fun to get away from the kids for a few days and just hang out with girls. Sage and Hallie had a great time with Jason. He spoils them when they are together. They ate out at "Old McDonalds" (As Sage calls it) every night and he took them to see "Enchanted" on Saturday afternoon. They didn't miss me at all. Here are a few pictures of some of the layouts I got done for the upcoming April retreat classes.

Monkeying Around

These are for Mom. Just a few pictures of the girls in their Christmas pajamas. They love them and want to wear them as soon as they come out of the wash.

Meagan's Birthday Party

My friend Meagan celebrated her birthday on January 22nd. I threw a little birthday party lunch for her at my house. I invited Angela, Jessica, Meagan, and all the little kiddies. It was really fun to eat lunch with adults and acutally eat something besides macaroni and cheese. I made chicken and wild rice soup and a really yummy triple chocolate mousse cake. I love birthday parties!

Mouth, Nose, Tummy, Toes

Hallie has finally learned some of her body parts. We are still working on the words but at least she knows where they are.

Dancing Queens

These are a few pictures of the girls dancing.

Sage's Photo Shoot

Sage told me the other day that she wanted to be a model. So I took some pictures of her. I guess this is her idea of what a model looks like.

Grandma's Birthday Bash

It was Grandma Ruth's 88th birthday on January 7th. Hallie, Sage and I went up to Bountiful for the big birthday celebration. Grandma was in good spirits, despite a black eye from a fall. Aunt Kristie set a beautiful table in the common room with Grandma's gold plates and tablecloth from Damascus. We ordered food from Wingers and then had cake. There was lots of family milling about which was really fun. Dan, Kristie, Tyler and his two older kids, Clay, Mason, and McKinley.
