I have fallen in love with Powell and I have the Enloe family to thank, they are the ones who first introduced this amazingly beautiful place to me. Hopefully, our children will have many fond memories with aunts, uncles, papa, grandma and cousins in Lake Powell.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Zw-7OPiZb6Az5jvMvuTLx-XybzEJN7kEvOgteDGA2Txkeb5-IOf5P8v5Y1ldOTZl9S6aBnAc-6tEdKBHZ8YxYpajj7jE_A4igD100Or5bJr_Lj5NAsTV8GYWHBLrl1dl9hpDXt07G4Y/s1600-h/ENL_4571.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Zw-7OPiZb6Az5jvMvuTLx-XybzEJN7kEvOgteDGA2Txkeb5-IOf5P8v5Y1ldOTZl9S6aBnAc-6tEdKBHZ8YxYpajj7jE_A4igD100Or5bJr_Lj5NAsTV8GYWHBLrl1dl9hpDXt07G4Y/s320/ENL_4571.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388803618309806946" border="0" /></a>Rhys learned how to wake surf and loved it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQiSfdUVxN8OJAF89V-y_YXgsEgINNZtrZf_w9jxBQLkRao0Rc4ceUsjjbB_ifCAuOF83D-UKHGKCpel60bxt1A7RZQLhVZoYpAKOzjzMYhSiDOqhUvAavIOXktHwqBrWkfd8PcpdHPg/s1600-h/ENL_4467.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQiSfdUVxN8OJAF89V-y_YXgsEgINNZtrZf_w9jxBQLkRao0Rc4ceUsjjbB_ifCAuOF83D-UKHGKCpel60bxt1A7RZQLhVZoYpAKOzjzMYhSiDOqhUvAavIOXktHwqBrWkfd8PcpdHPg/s320/ENL_4467.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388803606716894850" border="0" /></a>He even started tossing the rope back to the boat like he saw the older kids doing.<br />Hang Loose Buddy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTBVP3O7UdTOXF1wn_jtAEVB0iKffsKu6kt9GOX4AujAB7CSpMY3zWj5ZmrFHpGsdP4JfHRjhDGKjJ1Xdp9FPE6mUSR_1D1WumTEn0N8Ml216nL70G0FEBBwG12izEYDWTU_qp3YKtR4/s1600-h/ENL_4459.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTBVP3O7UdTOXF1wn_jtAEVB0iKffsKu6kt9GOX4AujAB7CSpMY3zWj5ZmrFHpGsdP4JfHRjhDGKjJ1Xdp9FPE6mUSR_1D1WumTEn0N8Ml216nL70G0FEBBwG12izEYDWTU_qp3YKtR4/s320/ENL_4459.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392175334687701698" border="0" /></a><br />We found a really great spot to park the houseboat, there was a great beach that the kids played on most of the days.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgat87FPu5DuL4OfCcLoGUdVXUJB-5LCvokNBmPo7zMZmuJAJLVCyy9XfFf-mivKCsv3XfaOeyPgb3SttRCiO5DFb1GAMVU4NShxqvi4THfmE2PnkkyVpS5_N_K_676cY4jdOBAEy9Kpio/s1600-h/2009-09+Enloe+Family+at+Lake+Powell_4365+-+Rhys+%26+Jorie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgat87FPu5DuL4OfCcLoGUdVXUJB-5LCvokNBmPo7zMZmuJAJLVCyy9XfFf-mivKCsv3XfaOeyPgb3SttRCiO5DFb1GAMVU4NShxqvi4THfmE2PnkkyVpS5_N_K_676cY4jdOBAEy9Kpio/s320/2009-09+Enloe+Family+at+Lake+Powell_4365+-+Rhys+%26+Jorie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392183550524606642" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The "ladies" spent most of our days playing cards.

The boys were never this mischievous, Jorie sneaks away and within seconds, not minutes, she is making a mess. Let me give you a quick run down on the recent incidents (I didn't have the presence of mind to take pictures of all of them, we all know how I am when I'm grumpy).<br /><br />1- Pink lip gloss smeared all over her face<br />2- Cut her own hair<br />3- Destroyed my blush and eyeshadow (two items, one incident)<br />4- <span style="font-style: italic;">Tried</span> to apply mascara (she actually made it on some of her eyelashes and left the incident with both eyes in working order! Kind of impressive!)<br />5- Needed lotion, 1/2 of a bottle smeared all over her head, face, hand and arms (it was kind of sad, she got it in her eyes) - There have been reoccurring incidents involving lotion one in which I was upstairs and hear Corey shouting, "You are in SOOO much trouble Jorie Marjean!!!"<br />6- Floods the bathroom on a daily basis trying to "brush her teeth"<br />7- Sprayed half a bottle of Fabreeze all over the laundry room (keep in mind, there is actually no fabric in the laundry room, only tile and cabinets)<br />8- Loves to fill the toilet with toilet paper and then flush........<br />9- Wanted more "eggies" and cracked 2 on the counter and started to licked her fingers before I got to her.<br />10- Pooped in the bathtub and almost made Rhys throw up.<br /><br />She is sure a sweetie when she wants to be, but she definitely gives me a run every single day! I'm sure I will continue to add to this list in the near future, but I had to share our misadventures thus far.

I hat to speak too soon, but she is doing GREAT! I love to watch her get so excited when she has remembered to tell me she need to go and then after she is done she is so proud! I realize we aren't there yet, but I think she is well on her way!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Big News = No more Diapers!!!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycdpjkNxwU5tXVqsShdgnb3dE_YtSC2tdIzLIQ1JJu420f9W0tosSSWpFnORSOqq-RSUnBPAnVWuXrkSEorH0suBdrSHCfpumpT0jRnpTBV16BGbz5PaNndYx78W3XMJbz_ezIWWGQzg/s1600-h/IMG_2208.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycdpjkNxwU5tXVqsShdgnb3dE_YtSC2tdIzLIQ1JJu420f9W0tosSSWpFnORSOqq-RSUnBPAnVWuXrkSEorH0suBdrSHCfpumpT0jRnpTBV16BGbz5PaNndYx78W3XMJbz_ezIWWGQzg/s320/IMG_2208.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306748384358755890" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Way to go Jor Jor Binks!!</span></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXJRGBQafKhP_ITxBYynoAGlQr0KAKXsKVlDozgwVZ0ZmdlwsmbwHm1QanLNtQD85vrimkRWvfwQywyu_yCcrr7TZFyxZ9XqDmPNHBCbbKuFbkn1E7zHc6jpBmsMeKsG54m6eOZWddic/s1600-h/IMG_1814.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXJRGBQafKhP_ITxBYynoAGlQr0KAKXsKVlDozgwVZ0ZmdlwsmbwHm1QanLNtQD85vrimkRWvfwQywyu_yCcrr7TZFyxZ9XqDmPNHBCbbKuFbkn1E7zHc6jpBmsMeKsG54m6eOZWddic/s320/IMG_1814.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306753030077602034" border="0" /></a>But that's not all for the big news, this may be even bigger news!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As many of you know, Jorie has has a pretty severe dairy allergy that makes her pretty sick if she eats dairy. So, since she was about a month old, we have withheld as much dairy as humanly possible. If she mistakenly gets her hands on dairy and eats it, within 2-3 hours her tummy is pretty upset and we end up using 50 diapers the next day. Our pediatrician told us that she may or may not grow out of this, so we should test it every 6 months or so. About 4 weeks ago, Jorie flipped out and wanted a bowl of mac and cheese, we ended up giving it to her and hoping for the best. The best happened!!!! Absolutely nothing! So needless to say we tested it again with yogurt. Again, nothing!!! We then let her have a piece of cheese.......nothing!! Alas, we have not withheld anything from her in the last 4 weeks and she is doing remarkable!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Big News = No more Dairy Allergy!!!!<br /></span></div>.........Still ME!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13479521454055662805noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194229416120863.post-86031571295028682752009-02-22T15:14:00.001-08:002009-02-22T15:46:37.677-08:00Super FUN Saturday!We all have a bit of Spring Fever and have been cooped up a little long. We just needed to get out of the house before we all went crazy! <br /><br />We started our day at Target, getting some potty training rewards for Jorie then went to Costco for lunch and a few groceries. (this may not seem super fun to you but our kids LOVE lunch at Costco and since we moved and have to travel an hour to get to Costco it is even more of a treat!) Then we gave the kids the choice between a movie or bowling and of course they choose bowling. We love to bowl together, I love to watch my kids be so supportive of each other and give high fives all around EVERY turn! I think we kind of bugged the family in the lane next to us, but they definitely weren't having as much fun as us. Then, in true awesome parent form, we went to City Market (the only place we can rent movies) for a movie (Madagascar 2) and popcorn and ice cream (for dinner, best parents EVER!)<br /><br />I LOVE spending time with my family! I truly don't think many other things give me so much satisfaction!

He and Rhys looked through it at least 50 times then announced that they would be making Salt Dough Christmas Candle Holders for their teachers and Grandma's and Papa's for Christmas. After looking over the ingredient list and making a list on Saturday we headed to the store. Then, yesterday after church, we began our 7 hour project. Mind you it's not a difficult project, my children are just perfectionists! They spent almost 4 hours painting them after they had cooked!

Just thought I would rejoin the land of blogging and give you all an update from our new little neck of the woods.<br /><br />The move went without a hitch and we have temporarily moved into a 3 bedroom home that a friend of our is giving us a great deal on. We are currently in the middle of trying to make a decision (which you all know isn;t an easy thing for us to do) about more permanent living arrangements. Hopefully, by February, we will either be breaking ground for a new home or have found one that we love and in the purchase process. For now, our rental is just fine and in a great location.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJBR3TlpkaB88rhsz3VuUO40Z0UF63U77bWasXrh0w9MEoLMfrVIOG1U0Yt6Npf_xhKJ49yjLmuCV7SHdtzU1pKpdh39UTXUXogors53Egs64Wc8FTVrDYRU8dD4h69_72PUApSyx6jU/s1600-h/IMG_2002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJBR3TlpkaB88rhsz3VuUO40Z0UF63U77bWasXrh0w9MEoLMfrVIOG1U0Yt6Npf_xhKJ49yjLmuCV7SHdtzU1pKpdh39UTXUXogors53Egs64Wc8FTVrDYRU8dD4h69_72PUApSyx6jU/s320/IMG_2002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281565798045853266" border="0" /></a>Malik started into his new 2nd grade class and loves it!!! Initially he was so sad/mad about the move but to his surprise he has fallen right in step and has made some great new friends. I also have been pretty inpressed with this new school, don't be jealous, but there are only 15 students in his class!!! It's a dream!<br /><br />After hours on the phone trying to find a preschool for Rhys with openings, I finally found one. The only one in the whole stinkin' valley with an opening! In hopes that we might be able to pay Rhys' tuition in January, I will be selling a kidney. Let me know if you are interested. Rhys loves his school! They have movement classes on Mondays, gymnastics on Thursdays, and they get to play in the bounce house once a week. The play yard is like nothing I have ever seen! The have a bear cave, tunnels and hills, a treehouse and most recently (and Rhys' fav), sledding hills and sleds. They have a great time and Rhys always leaves with a smile!<br /><br />Jorie and I spend a couple of hours on Monday at a play gym called GiminiKids. There are always kids her age to play with and I think the change of scenery is very welcome for Jorie. She misses her brothers while they are gone but is so happy when they get home. She is very chatty and is going through a phase where she asks thousands of questions, not only once but 5-6 times! Cute but kind of annoying. She is getting so big!<br /><br />Corey is definately in his element! He loves his new job (not to mention the 5 powder days he has had in the last 3 weeks, thanks to 3-4 feet of new snow). This job in this area was made for Corey! He has always been very content with his job but now I see a huge difference in him when he comes home at night, he is so happy! He is getting ready to put the kids in ski school and can't wait for spring so we can all bike and hike the thousands of trails availabe to us.<br /><br />I am very happy here but more than once a day I miss my old routine and my girlfriends and family. I love being a mom and I love my family. I am happiest when I am with them!<br /><br />We love you all and hope you all want to take fun and exciting vacations to visit us, we will make it worth your while!!!! Promise!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJs932GZ4mfdcDQ7rmKV8bYSrFxfq7MyY8qIUFJ3yGiwU2CpUNpJouD-c78nHz3x9H1HnGBPbUNRr5KxEufnXuLeNKDjXvz8d7ZcrpbAVqEkISR-LOfYnHfMt_DIPIp7VP5aEIortD6CQ/s1600-h/IMG_2001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJs932GZ4mfdcDQ7rmKV8bYSrFxfq7MyY8qIUFJ3yGiwU2CpUNpJouD-c78nHz3x9H1HnGBPbUNRr5KxEufnXuLeNKDjXvz8d7ZcrpbAVqEkISR-LOfYnHfMt_DIPIp7VP5aEIortD6CQ/s320/IMG_2001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281675104489087474" border="0" /></a>Yesterday afternoon it warmed up by about 10 degrees (which brought it just above freezing) and some of the snow on our tin roof began to slide. Although not for long, the temp dropped well below 15 degrees pretty quick. This morning the kids were facinated by this scene in our backyard. The snow was curved and the icesicles curved in toward our house!!! Crazy, but really pretty cool, just thought we'd share!<br /></div>.........Still ME!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13479521454055662805noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194229416120863.post-79670149646029056622008-11-20T16:51:00.000-08:002008-11-21T12:40:22.717-08:00Chicago<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_qGZQS7DtOaCzPtsJSkqwBKHoKBdNBmqq1HK00CLI3wVyL581c9yssHbn4zqfCxh71hWXNZp25OiKsa5D61owAIcBOetn5I7k8DgEJzR3p9lN4HIFgrSCsHxDLqVOB5CHIxTku3q1gYE/s1600-h/IMG_1946.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_qGZQS7DtOaCzPtsJSkqwBKHoKBdNBmqq1HK00CLI3wVyL581c9yssHbn4zqfCxh71hWXNZp25OiKsa5D61owAIcBOetn5I7k8DgEJzR3p9lN4HIFgrSCsHxDLqVOB5CHIxTku3q1gYE/s320/IMG_1946.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270908302223360930" border="0" /></a>I really look forward to, what seems to have turned into a tradition, making the annual trip with Corey to Chicago for his budget reviews in the late fall. Last year, Ty and Carrie were able to make the trip with us, which was a blast! This year it ended up just the two of us and Corey knowing how much I wanted to see <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">"Dirty Dancing"</span>, was able to finagle great tickets for us!<br /><br />Over our 10 years of marriage, food has become our hobby and not just food......<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">GREAT</span> food, which in turn has lent us the nickname, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">"Food Snobs"</span>. This night was no different, we had dinner at a restaurant called <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">312 Chicago</span>, which happens to be managed by a friend of ours, it was amazing!

Corey wishes every year that the kids would just plan forget about carving pumpkins. The smell and texture of the inerds hits the gag reflex and it's all down hill from there. So, with the fans on and the windows open wide, we attempted to spend a bit of quality time as a family. Dad cut off the tops, then retreated to his happy place while and mom and the kids scooped out the guts. Incidentally, Jorie and Malik love the inerds and have no problem, but Rhys on the other hand may have a bit of the dads weak stomach.

As his mother, I have the amazing opportunity to know how smart, creative and funny Malik is, but it is always makes a mom proud to know that others see those same things.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love you Mal, you make my heart happy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmwDfZSjq3ZB4hRZy6Dre0kivmJ8IzFmMw4-W8lNejD1e3-TAsJ-J0CCuKmcTiTdx-1QMFlFVrVES07XyjLtiNs3eN6A3MvaDKRKdYQy-rOLAPz46GiQRR5VfESzH4b51fvj5n-P20P8M/s1600-h/IMG_1896.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmwDfZSjq3ZB4hRZy6Dre0kivmJ8IzFmMw4-W8lNejD1e3-TAsJ-J0CCuKmcTiTdx-1QMFlFVrVES07XyjLtiNs3eN6A3MvaDKRKdYQy-rOLAPz46GiQRR5VfESzH4b51fvj5n-P20P8M/s400/IMG_1896.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260915171841359042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsslq3LjiAalER-2pj6QcB3Fe-NRcc8k7aFL4RnZ-Sb7RseYd6NgI7tUtrrKq1MdV_RHsw61vcSMdpa4yC21VNPR6FUd3E4oriav8iwfB4g7Ygzoaw_kxFZssr-x-LbALSzkjkMSiWUQ8/s1600-h/IMG_1895.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsslq3LjiAalER-2pj6QcB3Fe-NRcc8k7aFL4RnZ-Sb7RseYd6NgI7tUtrrKq1MdV_RHsw61vcSMdpa4yC21VNPR6FUd3E4oriav8iwfB4g7Ygzoaw_kxFZssr-x-LbALSzkjkMSiWUQ8/s400/IMG_1895.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260915166544087666" border="0" /></a>Sorry, it's a little blurry, Malik is dead center in the stripped shirt.<br /><br /></div>.........Still ME!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13479521454055662805noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194229416120863.post-49763561243504677692008-10-22T08:35:00.000-07:002008-10-23T18:24:14.464-07:00News<div style="text-align: center;">Well, I guess it's time to make it official.

We are excited for this opportunity but at the same time we are very sad to leave everyone/everything we love here and start again.

This was the day we blessed Rhys, he was 2 1/2 months old and looked so cute in his little newsboy cap. Malik was so excited to have a new baby, he took every chance he could get to hold Rhys, but on the other hand he was so mad at Corey and I for months.<br />Also, my nephew Christian and Malik were born on the same day one year apart, they are lucky to have a cousin who is one of your best friends.<br /><br />Now, everyone else, show me your 4 and 4 too........ and while you are at to maybe your 6 and 6!<br /><br />Here's my 6 and 6, this is kind of addicting!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK5DWpkQH2FETa63eKzqxx4GCXQtgFa5_m9FsbCfWcaieI5U4AxM5JLU_1bD0iy6a9Su-yT7wzPptV2w2nyNCF4egrFGPcQ9PgolDHK8iOBB0ik0YSotSiH97hT_AmPS9GFIwuFjZkX4/s1600-h/Madi+106.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK5DWpkQH2FETa63eKzqxx4GCXQtgFa5_m9FsbCfWcaieI5U4AxM5JLU_1bD0iy6a9Su-yT7wzPptV2w2nyNCF4egrFGPcQ9PgolDHK8iOBB0ik0YSotSiH97hT_AmPS9GFIwuFjZkX4/s320/Madi+106.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259775741324630626" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">Carrie and Ty</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" ><br />What a crack up!!!!! </span>For Carrie's 30th birthday I put together a book with some pictures for her about her life, Ty sent me a bunch of pics and....... apparently this is my 6 and 6!

Snowmen, sledding, snowball fights, they couldn't their ideas out fast enough. They were so cute as they ushered Jorie to the back door to show her the snow, or as she calls it, snowman. I know you can't see it very well but the snow is coming down pretty hard, then it stopped and before church at 1:00, it had melted. The boys were so disappointed, I really don't think the snow will come to soon for them. I don't know if I can agree, I really want a few more weeks of fall!<br /></div>.........Still ME!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13479521454055662805noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194229416120863.post-92226039371251299312008-10-09T11:12:00.000-07:002008-10-09T11:24:57.654-07:00Clone Wars Party<div style="text-align: center;">I think I have mentioned it before, but Malik and Rhys are super freaks when it comes to Star Wars. Last Friday night was the premiere of a new show on cartoon network, Clone Wars - The Series. The boys counted down the days, then as the day arrived, the hours until it started. Malik invited two of his friends, Easton and Cannon, and Rhys invited his friends Jacob and Owen to have a Clone Wars premiere party, stalked with treats of every kind to get them through the hour.

Although, there is an entertainment factor that can't be overlooked. I am just going to give then the benefit of the doubt and wait til after a few practices and games, maybe they will start to catch on.
