May the 4th

May the 4th be with you! Happy Star Wars Day!  

Kate created a Wookie cake for us to enjoy today, she is so creative. 

Yummy!

Our family really loves a yummy bowl of warm Danish Dessert.  Tonight we added a bit of angel food cake and some strawberries to it, but just plain is just fine with me!  Oliver spooned up as much as he could and then decided it was so good he needed to lick the bottom of the bowl. Yummy!

Elder Atkinson and Elder Hubbard

Nathan's grand missionary adventures are coming to an end, at least the full time adventures in Missouri and Illinois.  The wonderful things that he has learned there will, I'm sure, help him in his future adventures!  We received his travel papers and he will arrive home the morning of May 23, 2013.  I am so excited to see him, bask in his missionary spirit, and listen to all he has to share!  One more month.

Finished Project

I finished Katie's afghan!  I've been working on it for a while..well years now...but it is complete and a gift to her with love from me.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!  I created this fun bunting with some of the crochet doilies that I have collected over the years.  I think it turned out so fun and is a great way to display them.  just fold them in half, press, and arrange them on a piece of ribbon. Makes me smile every time I see it.  Have a happy day!

Twenty-five wonderful years!

Today is our 25th Anniversary!  We had so much fun last night at the Jazz game.  We got the company tickets so all four of us were able to go.  We really got spoiled while we were there too.  Thayne had some sneaky connection and he had roses delivered to me during the game...the Jazz people sweetened it by delivering the roses with a Jazz tote bag and fleece blankets, they also gave us two after game passes to meet the players and get photos and autographs!  Hannah was super excited about that so she and Thayne went after the game, what a treat.  It was an awesome game, the Jazz won in overtime, and apparently we were on TV too!
Tonight after work Thayne took me to Market Street Grill for a wonderful dinner.  I am so blessed to have such an amazing, caring, wonderful husband.  

Kanter and star struck Hannah.

January

Wow, we are halfway into January!  Happy New Year everyone! The most important thing that happens at our house in January is that we celebrate Hannah's birthday.  She wanted low key, just family, pizza and cheesecake for her happy day this year so that is what we did.  Happy Birthday Hannah!

 January also brought us a huge snowstorm, so here is everyone out in the thick of it pitching in to clear the driveway.
