Recap
For Thanksgiving we ate Turkey legs at two houses...
TWO dancers!!
A beautiful Angel for the Christmas story.
Some sheep and a shepherd.
The Christmas season went by quickly. We had a piano recital, a dance recital, Relief Society activities, Christmas parties, and in between it all I was visiting my grandmother who wasn't doing well.

Blur
Seriously? I haven't posted since November? The only thing that helps me feel better is the fact that some of my friends haven't updated theirs either.
Our last few months have been a blur...I'll try and catch up soon!
Here's Lena on Christmas morning. I love this picture (taken by Mr. Mud). Isn't this the life of the youngest? Her siblings unwrapping her gifts and she just sits there.

Bet Your Bottom Dollar
For our family Back-to-School Dinner my sis, Jeannie was in charge. Her theme was "Practice Your Talents." We had Mexican food and the kids did a little talent show followed by a fashion show of their new school clothes. Here is Nay's rendition of Annie's "Tomorrow." She actually knows the whole thing, but was slightly distracted and wanted to sing the Beatles at first. She's hilarious.
Little Man and Boo
The last few months
You know how you get so behind, that you figure instead of catching up you'll just not do it at all? Like with a journal?
I'll try and do a brief synopsis of the last couple months...
Le Le--took her first plane ride, can't sit in any sort of baby chair/swing or she can flip out of it, is super cute and smiley. Seriously. Best. Baby. Ever.

It's Raining, It's Pouring
Over the past couple months I've hosted two showers for two individuals that I really admire. One was about to have her second child, a boy to go perfectly with her sweet little girl. The other? She married my awesome brother-in-law, Jacob. And she is just as awesome. We are so excited to have her in the family. I wanted to document the parties so I can remember for future showers (and maybe you can use some of the ideas).
Shower #1: Baby Boy Shower--"Blue Skies"
Decorations:
Helium-filled blue balloons w/ stars
Tealight candles
White tablecloths/blue napkins
White and blue serving dishes

Rice Spring Rolls w/ peanut and sweet and sour dips (provided by Kristen)
Coconut Chicken Skewers (and plain for those who didn't like coconut)

Rice

Shower #2--Bridal Shower--"Birds of a Feather"

White Origami Cranes hanging from the ceiling (provided by Michael, age 8, and groom and anyone else around who knew how).
White Orchid

Just wanted to say I couldn't have done this shower without Rebecca!
After looking at the pictures I realize I need a good camera. These don't even give it justice. Hmmm, I have a birthday coming up...

WHAT?!?!?
We have TWO kids in school?!?! INSANITY.
What in the world did we do all Summer? Maybe, just maybe I will post some pictures. But, I ain't promising anything :).
ps--do you like L's mosquito bite in the middle of her forehead? That's because yesterday was BEEEAUUUUTIFUL and we were outside most of the day. And she's super sweet.
