You're Invited...

I am having a Scentsy Openhouse/Party next Tues, Oct 5 from 6-9 at my house. You are all invited, come and see all the new items and scents(travel tins, scent buddies, hand sanitizer to name a few), plus there will be really good food/treats.

The scent of the month is Cranberry Muffin and it smells really good. Plus they have a new warmer that says "give thanks" on it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Freezer Corn

We did freezer corn on Wednesday with 4 kids running around. As we were husking it Preston and Shelby would get an ear and eat it raw. I have no idea how they could stand it but they ate like 2 ears each like that. Preston carried his around with him outside and would take a bit every now and then. It was funny to watch him. A HUGE THANK YOU to my friend Heather and her husband for planting it in their field, helping me pick it, and then coming and helping me put it up, it saved me a lot of time. I got 28 bags of corn.

Sydney Dance Pictures and Kindergarten Program.

Sydney's Dance Review was in May, boy am I slow. My camera's batteries died so I didn't get any pictures of her in her Cheer Costume. She is such a good dancer (I am a little biased) but she has improved so much compared to last year. And she loves cheerleading. Shelby gets to take dancing for the first time this year and she is so excited to finally be old enough to go to dance class. She gets to go to dance camp this friday for the first time. We will see how it goes when she is by herself without Sydney.

Sydney had her end of year kindergarten class with all the classes. HECTIC, but they all did so good. 100 kids and all their parents, siblings and g-parents do not fit in the gym very well. They sang alot of songs, I am so proud of her!! She is so excited to go all day to first grade in a few weeks. She got Mrs. Christensen and she actually has a few of her really good friends in her class thank goodness.

Win a Silhouette!! (like a Cricut)

Go here http://www.theidearoom.net/ to enter to win a Silhouette. It is kind of like a Cricut, but you can hook it up to your computer and print/cut straight from there. plus you can download things to your computer then use it on your silhouette. You can also do vinyl. I hope I win, or someone I know does. It would be so fun to have to do school projects.

New Colt & Pictures of the Kids

We got corn on the cob in our Bountiful Basket and is was so good. This is Preston's first time eating corn on the cob. He did pretty good cleaning it off. He loved it. We have had it a few times since and he just can't get enough.

Preston enjoying his popcicle. It took a few washes but I got the red out of his shirt. I suggest not buying cheap superman popcicles, they have a lot of dye in them.

Preston loves to play in the gator. I can only imagin the places he will try to go when he figures out how drive it.

Shelby striking a pose.

Sydney enjoying a cupcake at Grandpa Scott's B-day party.

Preston saw the ice cream scoop on the counter and thought he needed some ice cream. He pushed the stool over to the bar and climbed up and got it. I think I am going to have a problem with him getting into everything.

Shelby playing with the electrical tape, making a mustache like Daddy's

Sydney's Shining Star poster for Kindergarten. Each week in her class a different kid got to be the Shinning Star and be Mrs. Anderson's special helper and be at the front of the line. Sydney had fun picking out the pictures and glueing them on. She did a great job cutting around the flowers to put on it.

Preston onGrandma Bev's lawn mower, he didn't want to get off when it was time.

In April we got a new colt. Shaun's sister called and said Anne had it and it was a little girl. So, we headed over to Shaun's parents house in Smithfield and took a look. Shaun caught it and let the kids pet it. Then a about a week later Shaun's dad called and said that our little filly colt was now a horse colt. No one had really looked at it and thought it was a girl, so needless to say Shaun was even happier because we now had a boy instead of a girl. Here are some cute pictures of the little guy. Right now we think he is going to be a blue roan. The kids named him Blue Jeans, we are going to try and register his name as Forever In Blue Jeans.

Easter 2010

I know I am a little slow, but better late than never. Saturday of Easter we went to Garland's Easter Egg Hunt. Preston came out the winner between the kids with 8 eggs collected and a ton of suckers. Sydney and Shelby both got 3 eggs and some candy. They were haveing more fun just running around and talking to their friends. It had snowed the night before and there was a couple inches on the ground, nothing like frozen candy for Easter.

We then headed over to Smithfield and went to Lee's Market with G-ma Bev, Hudson, and Angie and did their easter hunt. The kids got balloons, string cheese, and candy. Boy was it crowded. After Lee's we went to Aunt Angies and the kids colored Easter Eggs.

Sunday moring was much warmer, the kids loved their flip flops and sunglasses they got from the easter bunny. I think it is funny that here it is April and Easter morning and they are wearing their Christmas PJs.
