We had a fun time getting together with the Lymans, we found a fun sledding hill up in Midway by the golf course. The kids had a blast...and the Dads too. The kids were off running hills the moment we got there. I hardly saw them at all. All except these little friends. Cora & […]
As the Holidays rolls around I have so many ideas and activities I want to do. But with Jase's schedule its hard to nail anything down. We finally did...TEMPLE SQUARE! Yeah I was super excited to do this, I like this tradition especially because this is Christ Centered. For the month of December I try […]
We woke up to a beauty in lights and presents. The presentation was beautiful, the stash gets bigger each year as the kids are able to shop for each other. We had a wonderful mommy store treasure and each kid got lots of chances to "shop" for each other. Heres a few pics of some […]
The Christmas season is filled with magic and wonder. When I was younger I used to sit under the tree and dream of the magic. I love that Rusty finds a comfortable place back there too. We got a lovely surprise in the mail from Aunty Dee.....Hawaiian treats. We all thoroughly enjoyed those. Not having […]
Living in Utah now means living close to family. We get to enjoy a fun family night with cousins and grandparents...perfect for the Holidays. The only stressful part is the gift....and I am a procrastinator. Finding the best gift for everyone was quite hard. Homemade gifts are always a bit better...but making a good one […]
Jase and I were invited to an Ugly Sweater Christmas party put on by the Phillips and Aardemas. I am super excited to do this. SSSOOOO excited! I looked up many ideas....but I decided to go with a thrift store junk sweater. I found a bag of fake birds...I rolled with that. I also got […]
Who are these people? Oh yeah they were once a couple before kids! Well this day we were a road tripping couple once again...without kids! Hallelujah! Jase surprised me this lovely December morning with a trip to Santa Cruz, only for a few days, but still....JUST US! We just can't kiss....because NOW we can kiss […]
Shae-man just turned 7 and is already to attend university! THAT'S right.....Monster's University! He was super excited to pick this theme, with so many fun activities to do, I was excited too!
Being a stay-at-home mom is REALLY the best job in the world. I knew from when I was a youth that I knew my life would be all about my family, the family I would raise. And right now it is, ALL ABOUT THEM! I love having a few hours each day with just these […]
Our Shae is very special. He is 7 today! Happy Pearl Harbor day my 1st son! He is wonderful, patient, loving, giving, creative, excellent reader & motivated. On your special day in the Bennett house you get to go to Breakfast with Dad or Mom and then have your special cereal for breakfast. So when […]
The Jacobsens were in charge of putting together the Ward Christmas party and we were priviledged to be on the team! We were excited to help out especially because the theme was Christmas in Nauvoo. Meg had TONS of great ideas and found lots of help online. Here are just a few pics of that […]
Everyone loves to decorate for Christmas. Well we do too! Funny thing when we moved from Hawaii 3-4 out of the 14 boxes we moved with were Christmas decor. Now I didn't bring the lame-o stuff that you can rebuy, most of these things were homemade or VERY sentimental or Little People nativities! So they […]
