Shaving Cream Fun

A couple weeks back. Conner and Jake had fun playing in shaving cream outside. They had fun running cars through it and making tire tracks and just squshing it between their fingers. Conner didnt eat it so that was a good thing. They played in it for about 25 minutes and had a ball :) Here are some pictures from their fun.

Homemade Fun

The other day I came back from Christmas shopping and Jason and Taylor were making homemade items . Both Jason and Taylor are so creative. I on the other hand have to sit and think about things for awhile before I can even think of trying to be creative.. I am a slower thinker. Jason had made Taylor a guitar and she was all excited about it, Of course right after he made her it, Conner kept walking around the house saying My guitar.. My toy.. Taylor then made Conner a basket to hold his baby in with just paper plates, and foam. Very thoughtul sister.
Here are the pictures from the guitar and baby basket :)

Giving to those in Need

Due to the ecomony and the loss of so many jobs, there is such a need out there to donate now more then ever. Phoenix Rescuse Mission is a charity that my girl scout troop just helped recently with food donations. We were able to give 6 boxes of food to those in need. I was reading that the mission is now feeding about 200,000 people a day. If you feel like you have any extra thing to give or donate, PRM Is a wonderful Christian Charity. People are coming to them daily and they don't wish to turn anyone away. If you would like to help here is some information.

With Thanksgiving day just two days away.. I thought I would sit down and write of what I am really thankful for. With everything going on in the world there are still some things to be thankful for, at least for me

• 2 healthy Children
• A Husband who loves and supports me 110%
• My mom who helps me out so much.. I could not do everything I do without your help, love and support. I love you Mom!!
• Blessed to have a wonderful Step daughter, cutest little Granddaughter and awesome Son in law who loves his wife and supports her and her goals.
• Wonderful family members who do support me
• My health.. I am maintaing my blood levels so that is wonderful :)
• Family is means the world to me.
• Blessed that we can have a roof over our house and food on our table.
• Grateful that I am able to help 10 girls in Girl scouts become the girls that they will be in the future.

• Thankful that I am able to spend time with Conner and watch him grow up like I did with Taylor.
• Blessed to have both my grandma's around still
• Thankful that I was able to be a nanny for 3 girls for 8 years and now even though I am not with them daily they are still near and dear to my heart and always will be. I love you Lauren, Shannon and Megan.. I miss you
  

This Thanksgiving what are you thankful for ? I know it's difficult now because the way
things are but just look at the simple things in life and realize that life is too short to worry
about it.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians.........

Jake and Conner and Logan and I made little Indian Headbands. We had fun making them but the boys had alot of fun running around the room pretending to be Indians. Here is a picture of them with their hats. Below is a video of them running around the room having fun.. Logan was shy with it all thoug

Taylor's soccer Season

Taylor finally ended her soccer season. Although it was great to get her back in the sport she loves, I am excited to actucally have some weekends. Every weekend we have been running to her games. Her team I think only managed to win one or two games but it was good for her to get out and learn to how to be a team player and have fun while getting exercise. She was suppose to have her last game on the 15th and of course I planned a baby shower for my sister in law that on the 22nd. I found out the week before her game that she was going to have playoffs on the 22nd. I really wanted to be there but just couldnt. Poor Jason had to work that day and then go and get her and Conner from my mom's house and then run to the game and then to the pizza party after the game. I do not have pictures of the actucal day but I do have trophy pictures. Taylor was so excited about the trophies. She has 3 now. She would of had 4 but her first soccer coach when she was 4 fizzled out at the end.. She wanted me to take pictures of all the trophies. So here you go :) Enjoy

This is my second attempt at making a new blog, In editing beacause I am new on this site, I managed to go ahead and delete my new blog that I made.. Blah.. So I am trying this whole thing over. I got out of blogging on my other site because I wanted something new and I didnt like the way that the pictures turned out on wordpress. My hope in this blog is that I will get lots of readers .. I also love comments :) I like to write about everyday life, things that catch my eye and funny things and activites I do with the kids and girl scouts.. I hope you enjoy :)
