11 Years!

February 26th was our 11th Anniversary!  We celebrated by going to the Anniversary Inn!  We got this cute little Pirate room.  

We shopped, ate and enjoyed our long date!  Thanks to Grandma for watching the kids!  

Valentine's Day 2015

Valentine's Day this year was crazy!  I planned the Kindergarten party for Jace and Sophie's class.  We did cute stained glass window hearts for a craft...

 A fun game

 A game at the rug

 Wafer cookies dipped in frosting and sprinkles for a treat!  With pink 7up.

 Cute class pic!  Jace is front left, Soph is middle in pink.

 Jace and Sophie's valentines.

 Soph made this cute banner at a friend's house!  She loved her own valentine decorations!

 Here's our before school pic: 

Thomas made a rocket valentine box.

 Kaley made a hot air balloon valentine bucket.

 Selfies at Jace and Sophie's class party!

 I helped in Thomas' class too - here's our station at the rug.  The twins were my helpers!

Thomas the Wolf!

The beginning of February was Blue and Gold Banquet.  Thomas really wanted to finish his last few requirements to earn his Wolf badge, so we got it done!  

Here he is leading the flag ceremony part.

 The silly skit.

Wahoo T!!!  Way to go buddy!  He is LOVING scouts!  He has the best leaders, that are letting the boys "help" with the activity each week.  They take turns planning the treat, game, and scout activity from the book.  It is great for Thomas!

YW New Beginnings

The last week in January we had our New Beginnings Night for YW.  It was such a fun night!  Chris and Brooke (our Beehive leaders) went all out for decor!  They always do, and it turns out so nice!  Our theme this year is Embark in the Service of God - so they came up with the UP theme.  "Adventure awaits when you Embark in the Service of God."  

 DeDe's BEST sugar cookies!

 Our Beehives interviewed the new Bees coming in this year.  

 A few of our YW came up with a skit.  "Russell" earned his badges by doing things taught to him through the YW values.  

 Our awesome Bishop!  

 Our cute girls!  (we were missing quite a few this night!)

 A couple of our new Bees!  

I just LOVE being in YW with these cute girls!  So much time and energy goes into planning these BIG activities and we always come away having felt the spirit with these ladies!  So fun!
