Such a fun party. It's our ten year anniversary in just a couple of weeks and it really made me think of tonz that I want to do. First off Brother Eyring gave a talk a couple of years ago, on acknowledging the Lord's hand in your life on a daily basis and write it down. I think that I am going to do this, I know that I can at least write down one for every year that we were married. I will keep you posted on how it's going.

My Birthday.

I am now 31. Jeesh louueesh. Can't believe it. Had a great day, my girls made me french toast in bed. Mark got me a phone and new perfume. A friend that I haven't talked to in four years came by. My cute friend made me a banner, and some flowers for my front porch that won't die. My other coach gave me the cutest shirt and homemade cookies. I got to go to dinner with this cute guy above.

Good day. I am ready to make it a good year too!

Nicole's ROom.

This huge picture of the empire state building, was a copy of a painting that I bought when I was in New York. I loved this artist. These pics are horrible, but she highlighted the painting, that was sepia tone, in moss green. Then I had it blown up to 9x6 feet tall on this product that is kind of like wall paper, except you can take it off the wall and move it. THen we just made a frame around it out of moulding. THe moulding is like a mustard color. You can't really tell what color are in the fabrics, but they are cream, moss green ,mustard, and chocolate brown. I sewed the shower curtain, curtains, pillows and dust ruffles. I am in love when I get to decorate! I hope that some day I can do this for reals.

Dancing Queens

Lots of fun going to dance competitions, and recitals. I am not sure what is funner, playing dress up or watching them dance. Klaira has really progressed this year!, taking 7 classes., and Lily has informed me that that was her last dance recital! She loves gymnastics! That girl takes a cartwheel every five steps.

Focusing on my family.

Sometimes I feel like this big orange thing, I think it is called a smokestack, is like all of the disturbances of life. and then way down there are my two adorable girls, making funny faces, dancing, trying to yell at me, and here I am just looking at this big, loud obnoxious smoke stack.

So this is what I have learned this summer, and what I want to work on the rest of the year.

0 My family is the most important thing to me

0 They are truly what makes me the happiest.

0 They are so fragile, especially next to life's huge challenges.

0 They say look at the big picture, but really I think it is all of the little details in life that makes the picture so beautiful!

Our family has grown so much this summer,{not by peoples dangit} but we are so much closer, and maybe it is because my girls are getting older, but my family is really all that matters.

Catching up in no particular order.

Back to School! I am going to miss the girls this year, we had such a fun summer! Between work and school, I feel like I miss out on alot throughout the year. Yes, the girls wanted to dress alike this year too! The girls get to be at first recess together, which is the highlight of their day. Klaira is such a kind big sister, and Lily let's her be kind, we will just leave it at that.
