steph's weakness......thin mints

It's that time of year again! First Brett comes home with an undisclosed amount of Girl Scout cookies and tells me that I am going to Love him. Then he tells me that he has hidden them because he knows me well enought that I could eat and eat those yummy thin mints. This is true love when your husband brings home your favorite thing and then hides it. My nose will find them.

they grow up way too fast...

Kelty at day one

Teagan at day one

My babies aren't babies anymore. I was having one of those in awe days where I would look at each of my girls when they were talking or playing and they just look old to me. I tried sleeping in this morning and at 6:10 am Kelty came into my room and got in bed and told me to wake up. I told her I was trying to sleep in and she replied saying, "mom you have to sleep in the dark not in the sunny". Kelty went to the movie Enchanted with Grandma Smith and Aunt Shannon tonight. Teagan loves it when Kelty is gone then she goes up into Kelty's room and plays with all the forbidden princess dolls and polly pocket dolls. Teagan is in her NO NOT ME stage. Everything you ask or tell her to do she replies with NO NOT ME unless you bribe with chocolate and then she is as sweet as an angel. We are working on potty training and well today was a NO NOT ME day.

Brett's idea of Family Home Evening

Guess who's turn it was for Family Home Evening last night? Of course there was bearing of our testimonies after playing the wii and yummy dessert. Why is it that after every FHE lesson Kelty insists on marshmallow popcorn. We invested in a second controller and so now we all fight over taking turns playing. Teagan has no idea what to do with the controller so she just cheers us on. Kelty really enjoys playing baseball she gets a little frustrated over bowling. She takes after her mom. When Brett and I were dating we only went bowling once. So I can definately tell you that I am lame at it but not on the wii. Also note the new tinkerbell pj's worn by Kelty. She lives in them.

11 Year Anniversary

When ever March comes around I have so many wonderful memories come to pass. March 1, 1997 was a very special day for me. I took out my endowments in the Salt Lake Temple then 18 days later I entered the MTC as a missionary. Hard to believe that it has been 11 years. I am so grateful for Temples and for the opportunity I had to serve a mission and for the expereinces I had which strengthened my testimony of the gospel.

Winter Blues Anyone?

Just wishing I was on on a beach right now and soaking in the warm rays. I loved this beach in St. John. This was 4 years ago. Snow Snow go away come again next year.
