Katie's 6th Birthday

Okay, this is a little late. About a month to be exact.

Katie is now 6! Can you believe it?!?

Testimony of the Book of Mormon

This is such a great video. I hope you will watch it and listen to the message within it. I believe with all my heart that this is true.

Dayvon

I realized that I don't have any recent pictures of Dayvon so I got the camera out yesterday. Here is his cuteness. I LOVE these pictures. It's just so him!
Wide Smile. This is the smile he just started doing recently. It is so cute. When I try it, it hurts my jaw so I don't see how he can do it so much....
Shy Smile
So not impressed!
Happy boy
Serious
Normal happy self
Regular face

Dallin's 4th birthday party

Dallin had a superhero birthday Party on Feb 6th. I made capes for all the kids (and 1 extra that I wore) and the kids decorated their capes and ran around playing for a while. Here are a few pictures
Here is the cake. Sarah helped me make it. The transfer turned out pretty good. I did the writing (can't you tell?!) The tip was too big and I'm sticking with that story
Singing to Dallin
Dallin trying to blow the candles out. Apparently he's going to have 4 girlfriends. It ended up being Austin that blew out the candles. He just couldn't help himself. :)
Getting ready to eat the cake. The kids look so ready for it too.

Toothpick Art

My parents sent me an email with this the other day. It is amazing.

Mr. Stan Munro
works with Toothpicks!
See below his amazing works.

A miniature city made out of millions of toothpicks
It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million
toothpicks and 170 liters of glue. He can spend up to 6 months to create a
building and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum
of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York ( USA ). Look at the
amazing works of one of the most patient men in the world.














And we were just picking our teeth

Amazing eh?

Valentine Craft

Well, I was put in charge of a Valentine craft for our RS activity and it was pretty hard trying to find one. Anyway, this idea popped up in my head.

Apparently everyone else liked it too because I now have to get 18 sets ready for this Thursday night. Also, Sarah made one too and she put cinnamon hearts in hers. If it's not there yet, try again later because she's just posting it up.
