~~Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?~~
Last year -
This year -
How I've changed -
~I'm a year older..but probably not wiser.
~I weigh 25 lbs less. (but not for long if I don't lay off the Halloween candy)
~I'm a mother of 5 kids instead of 4.
The kids and I made cookies this year. I bought a bucket of Halloween cookie cutters,frosting,decorating gel and sprinkles. Josh narrated the whole time,pretending he was hosting a cooking show. ( I think I've been watching the Food Network too much lately)
Although being a chef is one of the jobs he wants to have when he grows up,so I guess it's good practice.
Someone REALLY didn't want us to make cookies. Thankfully she calmed down between the baking phase and the decorating phase.
On Friday there was a costume parade at the kids' school,followed by class parties. The weather was just perfect! Brady was very sad that we had to leave and couldn't stay for the par-tays.
Day 26 – A photo of somewhere you’ve been to.
Beautiful Hawaii! Adam and I went there in 2007 and we were by ourselves for a whole week! We had so much fun,we would love to go there again one day.
My SIL, Jenn, took this pic of my niece Isabella and my sweet Savvy. They are the same size but Isabella is 6 weeks old..Savvy is 3 months old. I have such a petite little girly. :)
As you can see,she was thrilled to have her picture taken.
Halloween pics of my kids coming soon!!
~~Day 25 – What’s in your purse?~~
wallet
brush
gum
snack bar
iPod
sunglasses
various medicines
tums
lip gloss

Right now I use a diaper bag most of the time and just put my wallet inside it. I love purses though. Here is my new one which I bought on sale for less than $15! It is dark purple..it makes me happy. :)
~~Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.~~
The Salt Lake Temple..this is where Adam and I were sealed for eternity. I don't go as often as I should,but just thinking about the temple gives me a feeling of peace and reminds me of what is important in life.
~~Day 23 – 15 facts about you.~~
~I'm the baby in my family. There are 15 years between me and the next oldest sibling so while I have young kids,my sibs are all grandparents now.
~I was a dancer when I was younger. I performed in competitions and marched in parades. I really wish I had stayed in dancing.
~I know a lot about pop culture and entertainment. Family and friends often call me for an answer to their movie questions.
~I had 4 miscarriages before Josh was born.
~I love to scrapbook but with 5 kids,I've become more of a collector then a scrapper.
