Another fun outing with Norah

Scott, Rylie, Norah and I went to Blickenstaff's at The Shops At Riverwoods. Norah really didn't like the horse ride. But she loved the shopping cart, the toys, the bikes, the balls and everything else. She was so fun running from one thing to another. Scott loves being a Granddaddy and that he was free that day to come with us.

Norah's first visit to the Monte L. Bean Museum

We are watching Norah for 8 days while Mom and Dad on on a cruise. We have been loving it. So much fun. She is the perfect little angle. We took her to the Bean Museum and out for ice cream. She LOVED it. She was loving the Museum and was smiling and laughing and running around enjoying all the animals. I would take my kids there when they were little. It was a lot of fun. Then for ice cream. Norah eat hers and wanted to eat ours. We did share because she is so cute.

Looking at some old pictures.

I think I made the dress I am wearing.

Not sure how old I am in this picture but I am guessing maybe 12?

I have the best family ever! Growing up we moved a lot so we were a very close family. We didn't live in a neighborhood we lived out with lots of land. We love playing together outside. I have never been a big TV watcher I think because of this. We love exploring outside. I had the best childhood. Love my family.

Hailey's wedding article and Jessie ad. So beautiful. What an honor it is for Jessie to be featured and have a cover.  She has worked so hard to get where she is. What a wonderful husband and a GREAT support he is to her. Jessie just called to tell me how blessed she feels to have her family and their support. Geoff and Scott helped by getting the table and the doors there. Rylie is babysitting a sick Norah today so Jessie can shout her wedding and work her booth. Jason has been there all day manning the booth. Family that's what it is all about.

Rylie's busy life

Rylie keeps very busy with friends, cheer, school and family. She has great friends for which we are grateful! She loves cheer! She got asked to a Liahona dance last night. Andrew Boyle . He is a good friend of Rylie's I am sure they will have a great time.

Time to go home

We had a blast at the cabin for Christmas. Now it's time to go home. We didn't get to play in the snow much because there wasn't that great of snow. The kids did go sledding once. I missed out they said it was great. I sure I was cooking or something. Pray for snow!!

Making Jewelry at the cabin

 Stacy is so creative. So we decided to make jewelry at the cabin this year for fun.

Rylie found this bird nest Necklaces on Pinterest. Check it out http://www.sarahortega.com/2011/05/diy-bird-nest-necklace.html. It was easy and a lot of fun.
