Cookies Anyone?

Little Miss Betty Crocker paid us a visit to night!

My parents gave Averi an Easy Bake Oven last week and ever since, she has been on pins and needles waiting to "bake us DESSERT". So tonight, Garrett and I had her make us cookies. She was so EXCITED. When we told her what we were going to do, she made a mad dash for her room and came out with her chefs Hat on and apron.

From that moment on, we were suppose to call her CHEF AVERI! What a stitch!

Next time, she said "were making CUPCAKES"!

A LoVely Day

Happy Heart Day! This year we went to the Draper Temple open house with a group of our friends. It was fun. I thought that the inside was beautiful, but I didn't care for the outer construction. I was expecting to see a beautiful, eye catching, spectacular WHITE temple, instead, it was dark grey (the stone was shipped from China). I have seen many temples in my travels but none like this one. It was fun to take Miss Averi through the tour and talk about the importance of temples. She was such a good little girl. It was so nice to spend the day with our friends and each other.

HUGS

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Valentines Day.

May it be filled with LOVE...

Practice, Practice, Practice

Remember when you were little and your Mom would have to remind you to Practice your dance or WHATEVER it may have been... Lately, Averi has been the one to remind me that we need to practice her dance for her competition. Averi looks forward to dance class every week. My favorite thing is that she sings the entire song while she is dancing. Seriously, SO FUNNY! She knows all the words too!

I can only hope that her love for practicing her talents will be a desire and a passion for her as she grows, not a "DO I HAVE TO?"

Friends

Last week, Averi and I went to Las Vegas to spend some time with our friends. We had a great time but sadly had to come home early due to Averi getting sick.

We still managed to take the kids out one afternoon for a little fun.

We went to Color Me Mine, a pottery shop where you paint your project and they fire it for you. Averi chose a dog. I tried to have her paint a plate that she could use on special occasions but the DOG one! She was so careful not to get paint on her or her clothes. Good JOB SWEETIE!

Thanks to the Gibson's for hosting us!

Hopefully we can get together soon and all will be healthy!
