Monday, March 14 - You know when you wake up on Monday morning and think, "This is THE week! I am going to make this the best week ever!" and then you put a Diet Coke in the freezer to get a little slushie...to help with your awesome start-of-the-week-day...and a few hours later you remember you did that and it has exploded all over? Well then, the week starts with a very clean freezer!
Tuesday, March 15 - We kind of decided last-minute that we were going to throw the kids' family birthday party on Sunday so I quick took a picture of the kiddos and made an invitation. I'm kind of enjoying Photoshop now that I have a better understanding of what I'm doing!
Wednesday, March 16 - It's crunch time! I was recently called as the Enrichment Leader in Relief Society and my first activity is the R.S. Birthday Dinner. The organization of the Relief Society actually happened on March 17, 1842 so it's fun to have our activity on March 17. This picture is my first attempt at making "bakery frosting". I'll admit, it's pretty yummy! I made 80 cupcakes but do you think I thought to take a picture of even 1 of them? Nope!! :) It was a very busy day though getting ready for tomorrow.
Thursday, March 17 - It's true, what you lack, the Lord makes up for. I felt very overwhelmed going into this calling and activity. However, the food came together and was delicious, the speakers were beyond phenomenal, and the evening just came together! I am so grateful for everyone that helped but most thankful to Heavenly Father for showing me that I can do this. Even if I doubt, He doesn't and He helped me along this whole evening. I came home on a spiritual high!
Friday, March 18 - A young man from our old ward was married so we attended the reception. If I'd have known how much fun we would have, I would have been there the moment it started! I LOVED seeing all of our old ward members and friends. It made me a little homesick for West Jordan. No one could believe how big the kids had gotten and I couldn't get over how much everyone else had grown. Stuff like this makes me feel old! I remember when Mikel Clarke was new to the young men's! Congratulations go out to him and his beautiful bride! Such a great night!!!
Saturday, March 19 - This was our second annual "Grandma's Princess Tea Party". It was so darn cute! Mom made us lunch, served us tea (apple juice), and we watched our wedding videos. Both of the grandmas came and Katie (Kenny's new love). It was so much fun, I didn't want to leave! I love my little princesses so much!!
Sunday, March 20 - Cuz one party with over 25 guests wasn't enough for one week, I planned two!! We had the kids' "nautical birthday" party at our house. Amazingly, the weather was beautiful so we spent most of the time outside.The kids were spoiled, as usual. They didn't know this but we did a nautical theme because they were getting kayaks for their birthdays. They were so surprised! They loved them! We can't wait for summer now!!
