Saturday Fun

I love the beautiful flowers that Gus bought me for Valentines Day!
I love you Gus, you are a wonderful husband!
Grandpa came out for the day that started at Gus' basketball game at 7:45am. He was a great help getting the motorcycle where it needed to be and he stayed for Carlie's game. Thanks Grandpa!
We sold the motorcycle which was sad but a blessing.
The kids at the soccer game!
The crowd at the Soccer Game!
We had 15 kids on the team and five of them were Carlie's cousins!

Grandma was so nice to make sugar cookies with my girls! Did I mention how much I LOVE sugar cookies! They are so yummy! Thanks Grandma!!
Yummy!
The girls had a ton of fun and did a great job decorating!

We had a blast with some great friends at Chili's... Ryan and Pamela were in town and so we all got together and had a ton of fun catching up. It was great to see Tom and Alisha, and Nate and Amanda! I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while! Thanks for the FUN!

It was such a beautiful day that we played outside for a while and the kids were outside for most of the day!
I decided to take a few pictures while we were out!

Gus took this pic of us... he did a good job!

Silly Sarah Jane

Since I showed off Carlie and her memorizing skills I thought it only fair that Sarah Jane get her chance!
We are re-learning the Articles of Faith...



This was just too cute not to post!

Memorizing Machine

Carlie is a very smart little girl who has a gift for memorizing! In our ward our Bishop encourages the children to memorize the 13 Articles of Faith by having them recite them to him after church on Sunday. If they do it the bishop gives them a piece of candy! The prospect of candy is a big motivator for Carlie so while she was in Nursery (3 years old) she memorized ALL of the 13 Articles of Faith! Since she has passed them all off the Bishop encouraged her to try the Scripture Mastery's.
These are the ones that she learned last year...
