Four Jingle Bells

We are totally excited that Johnny Carinos has come to Las Vegas. It is on Durango and 215 by TJ Maxx. This is where Blake and I went on our first date and the rest is history. It is the best Italian place and the bread is totally awesome!! And FYI Sammy's Woodfired Pizza is having 99 cent Kid's Meals for every day in February. This is in the same place as Johnny Carinos. Yay for great food!

Play do with cousin Sarah Our little piggie after some green beans.=) Reading with Spencer. They were both very serious and engrossed in the reading. Hailey is turning into a great big sister! This is just too cute. I remember pictures of me with the same smile as Hailey. I'll try to find some. They are such great kiddies!

Happy Birthday to our cute girl, Hailey!!!! We sure love her. She has been so much fun and has taught us so much about fun, laughter, and patience!=) Three years have gone by so fast and we are looking forward to what else she has in store for us! We were going to have a birthday party, but mom put it off to far and her birthday kinda snuck up on us. Soo, we are waiting till next year....be prepared for the big bash, friends!! We are having a family party on Sunday. Sometimes it is fun to have your birthday all spread out Opening presents from Nana Bell. She got some awesome puzzles and cute pjs. This girl LOVES puzzles!! I love that she was born by Valentine's Day. Such cute paper! I'm sure it will put her husband in the poorhouse!=) Birthday shirt from Nana Bell. Yay!! We should get her new shirts everyday, then there would never be a getting dressed battle!! Another shirt from Nana for Valentine's Day. Hailey could not resist putting it on as soon as she saw...

Hailey was playing quietly in her room (very unusual) and I went in to check on her. This is what I found. She definitely loves books. Must be in her genes.

Got this email from a friend and thought it was a great idea!! I am only five pages behind. yay, I'm off to a great start.=) As most of you know, our beloved prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. His funeral will be on Saturday, February 2nd. I was thinking of how I could honor his legacy and I came up with an idea. My friend and I have created a challenge for those willing to accept it: Read the Book of Mormon in 97 days . We are trying to get everyone to start on the same day. Here are the details: Goto www.hinckleychallenge.com and create an account (free, of course). On Feb 4, 2008 (the Monday following the funeral) have an FHE lesson on the Book of Mormon and begin your reading. Each day you read, record what page number you are on by going to www.hinckleychallenge.com . We would like this challenge to be heard all around the world! Please forward this message to everyone you know. We would love to see over 1 million pages of the Book of Morm...

Today, I put Spencer on the table on his belly for tummy time while we were having lunch. I put a toy on there so he could reach and stuff. Hailey put me right in my place. "Mom, no toys on the table. You need to listen to yourself. " Oops!!=) Blake passed one of his A+ technology tests for school. Yippee!! Don't ask me what it means, but it is a good thing!

No pictures, but an interesting/very embarasing story. I was feeding Spencer in the mother's lounge on Sunday when Melissa Hales (poor girl) came in and notified me that Hailely had pooed in nursery, like on the floor. So, I ran in there and find her laying on the floor totally embarrassed. Poor girl has always had a hard time going. Krissy Stimpson (even more poor girl) is the nursery leader and was cleaning up toys and almost picked up the poo not realizing it was poo. Oh my goodness. Talk about embarrasing!! We have always given her apple juice, applesauce, all kinds of stuff to help, but they take forever. Any ideas? I know you are probably grossed out enough with the poo issue, but then Monday night, we are getting her ready for bed and she starts throwing up, like four times and at 10,1030, 12, and 1. So sad!! The next day she was pretty much better though. Must have been something she ate? The only good part about the throwing up is I told her to yell "It...
