Snow Day in Vegas

In honor of celebrating no school because of snow, I thought it was a great reason to have snowman pancakes. The kids loved them. Mason wouldn't eat his because he didn't want to mess it up. Now I need to drive somewhere so my kids can play in the snow. It never stuck to the ground at our house. It was beautiful watching it come down. What a great way to bring in Christmas, WHITE! Go figure a snow day in Vegas.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Hope your holidays are merry and bright!

Morgan piano recital

Tonight was Morgan's piano recital for Christmas. She stuggled more this recital with her music pieces. She forgot her music and I think her nerves got the better of her. When she was finished I gave her a big hug, and let her know how proud I was of her, and told her she was very courageous . Morgan just kept telling me she can play it really good at home.I felt so bad because I could see her disappointment in herself. Morgan is such a sweet girl and I wish I had just a little bit of her piano talent. Morgan makes my job as a mother a joy. Good job Morgan, I love you!

Much to be Thankful for

Another thanksgiving gone and I have more and more to be grateful for. I am thankful for my loving husband and 4 of the sweetest children on earth. I am thankful to a loving Father in Heaven who sent me to earth to my family and entusted me with his children to care for on earth. I am thankful for the gospel and knowing that one day I can live again with my Heavenly Father and for the eternities to come with my family. I am thankful for a land where I have my freedom and for all those who fight for me and my country. I am thankful for all the earthy comforts I enjoy, a home, car, ect.. I am thankful for wonderful friends. There are so many things I am thankful for I could never write them all down and this post would go on forever.

I was to busy, I didn't get much pictures during turkey day. I did manage to get this picture when we were home relaxing after alot of food, this just brings a smile to my face, Loryn's little crack showing while she is playing piano.

Turkey cookies

So tonight for our FHE activity we made thankful turkey hand cookies. The kids had fun tracing their own hands and making cookies out of them. It was a huge mess but the kids had so much fun.Loryn's hand never made it to get a picture, she would frost a little, then take a bite. I love how simple things bring kids so much enjoyment. It was fun to hear what they were thankful for. I am extremely thankful for my biggest blessing, my children!
