Anna's 6th Birthday

Anna wanted a "Fancy Nancy" birthday party this year. If you haven't heard of Fancy Nancy check out the books at the library, they are great. The party was a lot of work for me but was well worth it. Everyone seemed to have fun and Anna was very happy with it so I was happy as well. I had each of the girls who were coming get me a pair of their old jeans so I could cut them off and make a skirt out of them. I also made curly hair bows and beaded socks to match. Aubry invited a couple of her friends over to help. They were in charge of painting nails and make-up and I was the hairstylist. We had 7 girls come. Check out the slide show to see how much fun we had.

Mother's Day

It was a special Mother's Day for me. Aaron and Aubry made breakfast. Aubry surprised me by speaking in church. She wrote her talk by herself and did a wonderful job. Seth, Luke and Anna were excited to give me the cards they made. I recieved a flower at church. We had a delicious dinner made by Aaron, Aubry, and Seth and then we had some friends over for dessert. Aaron gave me 3 more charms for my Pandora bracelet. The kids had so much fun making me jewelry with Anna's beads. They created some pretty cute stuff. It was a great day. I love being a mother and I am so grateful for my mother and mother-in-law, they are very special to me and have helped me become the mother I am today. I am truely blessed to be a mother!

Ice Skating with Anna

May was Anna's month to have a date night with mom and dad. She chose to go ice skating. Aaron has been before but for me this was also my first time to ice skate and I had fun. Anna did really good for her first time, and even though she fell a few times she had a great time. Towards the end Anna even wanted to be by herself so Aaron and I backed off and let her go. We stopped for ice cream on our way home, thanks Anna for a wonderful date!

Las Vegas

I'm finally posting a slideshow of pictures from our fun trip to Las Vegas. Aaron had to get in some hours of continuing education. Trent and Brooke met us there and we were able to spend a couple days with them before classes started. It was great having Brooke there to hang out with. Usually I'm just on my own while Aaron is in class so it made the trip even better that I wasn't alone. Aaron also enjoyed going to class with Trent. I'm hoping we will do this again since they have get continuing education every year.
