~Things I have been upto...AKA: stress relief

~Lock, Shock and Barrel....
~Nightmare Before Christmas...~
Drew this one night for my little Marley...this is our favorite show....was so excited about how Barrel (the chubby one in the middle)turned out...

~~Some Halloween fun... I love to put up decorative plates on holidays and one day decided to try my hand at making one as they can get kind of pricey ...
They turned out pretty good....will post some of the others later on.

This was a pretty fun project and I made some really pretty ones for
Halloween, Fall and Christmas....

~Really lovin' drawing leaves and trees.....

Fall and Halloween are my favorite
times of the year.... just in case no one had noticed...

I love this one, I was so happy about how it turned out.....

Is this just not the cutest boy ever......

Marley's First Day of Kindergarten

~Marley Ireland~

The first day of Kindergarten for Marley was a very long awaited for event.

Marley is one of the most amazing little girls, she has a thirst for knowledge and loves to learn anything new....
She has been ready for Kindergarten for a long time.....
Not sure if Wasatch Elementary is ready for Miss. Marley.....

~This little girl has the most beautiful, contagious smile,
she lights up our home....

~We are so happy that Marley's Kindergarten teacher will be Mrs. Werner who has taught both
India and Jonathan.....
We love Mrs. Werner and are grateful for the love,
kindness and respect she shows our children~

~Marley worked so hard getting ready for Kindergarten and Mrs. Werner was so impressed with her abilities that she authorized Marley to check books out from the library right away and evidently had some discussion with Mrs. Densley who is Wasatch's Principal about how bright and advanced she is...... our little Footit's are a constant amazement to us, we are so very blessed.

Back to Wasatch 2010~2011 School Year

~First Day of School Breakfast~

~Our hungry boy... The 2nd Grader.....he is growing so fast, we can't believe our little guy has grown so much. He is so amazingly bright. Johnathan is an excellent advanced reader, his use of the English language is wonderful, not to mention his imagination is a constant source of delight to us....

~Our beautiful girl.....
We can not believe our little India Moriah is in the 5th grade already.... She is quite amazing. Our girl's a great story teller, she is very clever and much to our pleasure she has become an avid reader. India is extremely kind and loving to animals and humans alike...It has been a pleasure to see her advance each year...

....Best Bud's.....

~Pioneer Days Extravaganza....

~Hopefully not a future prediction.....
The kids had a really good time
watching the Indian dancers and listening to the drums and music....

~The Missionaries had a booth teaching everyone how to make
homemade butter.....

.....Hand, hand, fingers, thumb.....

one thumb, one thumb, drumming on

a drum.....

Monkeys see and monkeys drum.....

~I just love this boy....what a look

The kids trying their hand at tatting lace with the "Mad Tatter".......

India was missed, however I don't think she missed us as she was having a wonderful time visiting Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Charlisa with Kiley on their annual trip.....
