Thumbs Up!

Wy you are such a cute little guy! Can't believe he will be 4 the end of June! What a sweet boy. Happy Monday! It is an Eeyore rainy day. Good for the lawns and flowers though. So it is all good.

And Sunday was nice. And we had a nice celebration of our Mother. We just had a nice restful evening. Got to visit a lot and just enjoy each other's company. We did miss the family members who couldn't make it though. The food was wonderful too. Yum. We had wraps with all sorts of yummy ingredients to stuff into it.

A nice weekend.

Cute Headbands

So I went to the Beehive Bazaar at Thanksgiving Point on Friday. I picked up these adorable headbands that are made out of vinyl. I got two for $10 so I figured it would be perfect to give them to the twins. Look how cute they look!

Sweet little girls. (I wish I had thought about picking up two more for their cousins Jenna and Kiley!)

Happy Sunday! And happy Mother's Day to all girls and women everywhere.

Blue Shadow

And here's Anna's brother. This is Alex.Fun day today...but tiring. Got up super early... and went and painted, with my sister Karen, at my sister Deb's new house. We painted the master bedroom a pale butternut color. It used to be dark red (Ewww!) The new paint color opened up the room so much. It looks amazing. But after I was so tired. Came home and slept for a couple of hours. And now working on freelance.

I feel badly though because I missed my sweet nephew Nick's Eagle Scout celebration this afternoon. Way to go, Nick! He is only 15 and already got his Eagle! He is a great kid. Very accomplished and motivated. I am so proud of him. At least we will see everyone on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day for my mom.

Pink Shadow

Here is a silhouette I did of my friend's daughter. Ah, cute.

Happy Friday!!!

Yay, it's Friday! That about sums it up as to how I feel! So glad it is Friday! Just nice to have the weekend to look forward to. I need to finish up a freelance project (hopefully tonight) and get finishing up a bigger one but in the last week or so I did two quick freelance jobs too. Yay. It is a good feeling to get projects accomplished.

I had a wonderful time serving at the temple last night. Just a great experience each week. I grow a little bit each time I am there. When I really take the time to realize how blessed I am to work there I am overwhelmed and reminded about the important work that is done there and the humble fact that I am allowed to help with it.

Happy Friday! I plan on it being a fantastic day. I hope you do too. And happy weekend too!

It's going to be a bear-utiful day.

Haha- Bear-utiful day? Now that is a stretch on the pun stuff. Anyway, I think it will be a great day today.

Happy Thursday! All day. I better get ready for work. Slacker Lori.

Late Frog

Yah so I meant to post this little frog on my blog this morning when I got to work...but my work is blocking our blogs now. Oh fine! So I just got home so here is my contribution for today.

I just got back from a free concert at the Scera Shell. It was the United States Coast Guard Band. They did a great job. They travel all over the states. A nice little concert in Spring.

Now I must work on some freelance. And hopefully get to bed at a decent hour tonight.

Alien Tuesday

Some days do you feel like an alien? Sometimes maybe you don't feel like you fit in? I am not trying to tell anyone that I feel that way. I am truly fine and well-adjusted. And very grateful for all that I have. I just think sometimes that we get into situations where we might feel a little awkward or out of place. Now that happens to me at times for sure. But that is life. And we all want to feel accepted. Maybe a little lack of self-worth I would think. Anyway...I got onto this topic because I posted an alien...as you can see. I think he is a cute little guy. I doubt he has a problem with self-worth.

Happy Tuesday. Big gray cloud hanging in the sky this morning. I hope it blows away. It should because it was windy enough coming into work today for sure.

Look, I see a pink elephant...

Happy Monday! Nothing really new to report other than my dome light in my car works now! I took it in on Friday. Happy car! Happy me! It was a cosmetic fix but I want my car running the best it can. Got the 60,000 check on it too. Yay, happy car! Still need to take it in to get a bulb replaced when they get the bulb in. I sometimes wonder if a horse and carriage would be more appreciated then all the car stuff you have to take care of...but cars go faster and you don't have to follow after it and clean up after it...a big plus! ; )

We are still waiting to do Jason's work. That is okay. We want as many family members to come as possible. Schedules are a little crazy since we are all busy...but I know it will work out when it is supposed to. And I know Jase doesn't mind. Love you, Bumper.

Ah, sweet!

So I was going through old emails on my home account and I found one from 5 years ago. My nephew Ben, who is now 8, had been playing with me one day. My sister was taking him home later and he said to his mom, "Mom, Lori is my best friend."

I just thought that was so sweet. Of course he has long forgotten even saying that to me but it means a lot to me. And it touched my heart to read that again. He is a sweet boy and I am very proud of him. He tries to be a good big brother to Ander and Wy. And is very patient with Wy.

Sweet boys for sure.
