Little Jewels

As we were waiting for Daddy to get home from work, we needed something to do. So, we made FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS.

The girls were so proud! They love anything girly.......................

We got to pick letters to spell out their names.

So I have been into cooking a lot more lately. And I LOVE the combination of peanut butter and chocolate........Mmmmm! So the girls helped me make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Oh my.............they licked their fingers, dipped them in sugar, rolled the cookie dough, bit into the cookie dough, they licked their fingers again and put them on the cookie sheet to bake. Couldn't get any better than that!

My favorite part of cookies is eating the dough.....................I am sure that is where they get it from.

Whoever got a batch of these cookies is in for a TREAT!

MOVING on........

I can't really describe today................sad or happy, glad or mad?
We've been waiting nearly two months to find out what Isaac's flying status is...........he won't be in the class anymore because even though the waiver went through, they still have to do another MRI in 3 months and he would be way to behind to stay in this class.

So, he's OUT!

It's not 100%, but it looks like we will be MOVING to PHOENIX sometime in January to start an earlier class.

MOVING AGAIN.......................BLAH! We have lots of decisions to make..............................

Heavenly Father Has A Plan For Me

For family night on MONDAY, we learned that HEAVENLY FATHER has a plan for ME. Trying to keep their attention is still being mastered.................at least for little Brynlee. They got to color, cut and arrange a picture to hang on their closet door.
I just hope SO much that my sweet little girls will FOREVER hold the gospel to their hearts! That is where they will find true happiness.

MADELYN writing her name on her picture

I am sure your all wondering what he had for TREATS......................I did make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that were DELICIOUS! Unfortunately there are no pictures. I made Isaac take them to work so I would not eat them all up!

Horton hears a WHO?

Tonight was so fun! Playing games as a family.........

We decided that we need fun things for the girls to do together and keep them from watching television. So again to Target, we got Horton hears a who!

It was a HIT! And it was HILARIOUS!

Once they landed on a clover they got to put on the elephant head and either : run, walk, hop, tiptoe, crawl or flap to find the clover (distributed in each room).

Bending down without using hands, they had to get the clover (velcrow) onto the end of the snout. FUNNY!

I would definetly recommend this game

Just SO sweet...........

Madelyn was off to school today on the big yellow bus. Mom and Brynlee went to a meeting with the teacher, Mrs. Martinez.
She introduced the curriculum and explained how well Madelyn is doing in her class with these words:

polite

smart

listens to teacher

easily makes friends

got a 96% on academic testing!

I thought to myself, "wow!" I feel so blessed to have such an amazing daughter (including Brynlee of course)!

As high spirited as I was, my little helper and I ventured to the wonderful world of Target to find something "special" for this extra special little girl. We of course got a treat and Brynlee had a tester to make sure they were good (learned that from daddy). Then we found a felt dazzle doll that captured me, probably because anything 'pink' or 'princess' is always welcomed in this house.

Madelyn got home. I was so EXCITED. I will miss the day when she stops running to me yelling, "MOMMY" and jumping up in my arms. I proceeded to gift her with her doll and treat and she said, "that was so very kind of you mommy."

A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart.
