A Surprisingly Good Time

This is the movie that we saw. By we I mean all of us including Charlie!! Yee Haw!!

This movie was actually really fun and cute. I was impressed that there were not any parts I had to be concerned with in regards to Morgan. When we got home this evening we found out that Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus surprised a lucky group of movie watchers at a Utah Theater. Bless their Achy Breaky little hearts! Darn it all to heck it was not our theater!

This dress was what Miley wore on her date with "The Cowboy"! I thought it was so cute that I am making one for me! NOT....let's try Morgan. I think it would be pretty cute on her either with leggings just the way it is or I will add enough length to make it knee length. Now to find a pattern close enough!

Poor Poor Baby

She is a brave little girl wouldn't you say? I really hope this works!

R U Kidding Me??

I had just finished posting about Chad and baseball and how late spring comes. When I hear this! Was I kidding? Now I must be honest this is hail not snow; yet! I told you it was cold. I just wanted to show you how the weather can change so fast here in the great state of Utah. When we first moved here everyone told us the motto was if you don't like the weather wait 4 hours and it will change! That has been very true!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year....

Chad plays catcher on his team, the Angels. (gag! Go Dodgers!!!)

Chad does not like to play catcher, but has for the last 4 years.

Chad would rather play 2nd or short stop, which he does well at too.

I love that Chad plays baseball, it is my most favorite sport!

You know Spring is here when baseball starts!

You can tell it is pretty cold still with no leaves on any trees.

Although the grass is getting green.

Here in Utah Spring does not really come until May.

May is when you can start planting.

GROSS!!! This California girl does not do well with stupid Winter!

BUT baseball starts in April and it let's me know that Summer, which is even better then Spring, is coming!

Simple Sunday

Alma 32:28

28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if sit be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, year it beginneth to be delicious to me.

31 And now, behold, are ye sure that this is a good seed? I say unto you, Yea; for every seed bringeth forth unto its own likeness.

32 Therefore, if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away.

33 And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the see, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow ye must needs know that the seed is good.

34 And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect? Yea, your knowledge

is perfect in that thing, and your faith dormant; and this because you know, for ye know that the word hath swelled your souls, and ye also know that it hath sprouted up, that your understanding doth begin to be enlightened, and your mind doth begin to expand,

Conference Bingo and Some Change

The closed purse.

The inside.

The of so very cute inside. Is this not the perfect little change purse?

So at my house we play Conference Bingo. We print off cards and then get prizes. I actually just get little prizes; a pencil, fruit snacks. But for the blackout prize it is something much better! My cute niece and her 3 good friends came up to play with us. This little purses are for them. What do you think? Will they like them? Let's hope so!

Mad Skills

A close up
A quick turn to the ball!

She sees the opening...

She starts to break away...

The goal!!! See the ball in the middle of the net? She was unstoppable!


My girl has MAD SKILLS! Morgan played soccer last year for the first time. She decided to focus on her dance classes this year. Then she came to me and said she was tired of dancing. This from the girl who steals everyones Ipod to "dance." I think the real issue is she is just getting burned out with all the practices. So she said she wanted to play soccer again, and basketball and softball. Good grief Morgan you sure know how to keep us busy. Any hoo this was her first game. Last week she had a rain-out.

So first 30 seconds of the game she scores a goal!! Or in the words of Charlie (actual words I might add) goal, goal, goal, goal, GOALLLLLLLLL!!! She rocked it out, the girl can run. She boxed out, she got in the scrum, she had another break-away goal.

I turned to Charlie and said "oh, man forget dance my girl is a soccer player!"
