Busy, Busy Month!


We have been down to Utah for the past 4 weekends in a row! Thank goodness our van is holding up! My cousin, Jesalyn had a bridal shower, my nephew Mason was baptized, Jesa got married and my Grandpa Keith passed away. And somewhere in between all of that, we managed to go sledding and play at Leo's (in Idaho)....

Here are just some pictures from all the events...
My beautiful cousin Jesalyn.

The whole Lemon clan!

We will miss you Grandpa! Love you always!

Proud Mommy Moments

These are just some of my recent proud moments as a Mom:

Alivia (eyeing my drink):"Mom, are you sick?"
Me: "No, why?"
Alivia: (drinking my drink) - "Now I'll get whatever you have - like your Good Looks!"
Me: "laughing hysterically!"
She really is a genius child!


The other day we're driving on a slick road and the car slid a little.
Me: "Whoa"
Josh: "Mom are you okay?"
Me: "The roads are just a little slippery."
Josh:"That's because we forgot to pray this morning."
Me: "Why don't you say a prayer right now then?"
Josh:"Heavenly Father, please bless that the roads won't be slippery anymore for Mommy's driving. Amen."
This is from my child who use to refuse to say prayers with us as a family. Truthfully, I have to credit this miraculous change to his wonderful Primary teachers! Thank you to the Andersons!


Lacey has recently joined a performance group called Elite Talent. She gets to sing, dance and act. She's going to be a triple threat! :-) Her teacher called me the other day to discuss how she's doing. Lacey's first class they had to sing solos to see what song they would be assigned for their next show. I was worried she would be nervous and scared...apparently not! Her teacher kept saying how confident and talented she was and how lucky they were to have her! She gets to sing a solo to Selena Gomez' song "Naturally." Super excited for her!

Kaleb's vocabulary has greatly increased as of late. New favorite words: "No, no, no, no, no," 'Mine", and (with hand outstretched), "Stop!" It's a good thing his cheeks still jiggle when he runs! :-)

I love being a mom. I'm so lucky to have been blessed with such wonderful and cute kids! :-)

Already looking froward to next year! :-)

Veteran's Day



The fifth grader at my children's school put on a Veteran's Day program. Lacey got to be one of the speakers- she did great!


They acted out a story called "The Little White Table" (which was awesome), sang songs, and paid tributes to all the Veterans that attended.


I bawled quite a bit!


It was probably one of the best programs I have ever seen by an elementary school! So proud!
