Sisters Night

Two of my sisters and I got together for a night of pizza, candy/cookies, and crafts. It was so fun to go out to dinner then relax and catch up while doing crafts and eating munchies. That's one of the things that I love about living in Boise again, I have 6 (soon to be 7) sisters all within 30 minutes or less to hang out with. They've become my best friends and I'm so grateful for sisters....seriously I couldn't live without them. I'm already going through Misti withdrawls...4 more months by the way. Anyway...we decided to do similar crafts, a temple picture on canvas and wedding picture on canvas, my sister did her family pics on canvas instead of a wedding one and they turned out so cute!

Here are some pics...

some of the pics were still drying from the mod podge that's why they look milky

Be My VaLeNtInE

Today Keith and I celebrated Valentine's early because I will be filling in for my sister at her work next week and Keith will be busy with work too & Keith's sister happened to come into town and she loves to babysit Carson so it was the perfect opportunity. We went bowling earlier in the day for my brother in law Mark's birthday, then we headed out to Olive Garden for some delish breadsticks, salad and Italian food! We headed over to the mall afterwards where I got to do some shoppin! One of my favorite stores was having end of winter season sales so I snatched up some cute sweaters and shirts. We ended the night watching the new Twilight.

This will be my 5th Valentines' day with Keith. Oh every one of them has just been perfect. I couldn't think of a better man I would want to spend it with. He loves to spoil me and make sure I spend $$ on myself and get time to do girly things or stuff w/my friends & sisters. Oh I just love Valentines. I know some people think it's a lame holiday that shouldn't even be, but why not celebrate love with the person you love most? I always look forward to it and I'm exciting about involving Carson and giving him little gifts too.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

mmm breadsticks

Glasses

Can you believe it's been 10 years since I got my last pair of glasses? I've just been wearing contacts since then because I never wanted to pay for both. Finally, (since our insurance is pretty good through Keith's work) I got new contacts and glasses! I was pretty excited!

Faith

"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain."- Richard G. Scott, "Trust in the Lord."

Current Jam & Breakfast

This is  my current favorite jam. love love love Boyce Avenue's version of last kiss by Taylor Swift. And the other girls aren't that bad either.

On another note....this is what I had for breakfast this morning at it was divine. I've been on this granola/fruit/yougurt kick lately and I love it! Breakfast is my favorite meal so I love making something yummy that I would like because Keith hardly ever eats breakfast. If you have any good breakfast recipes or ideas send them my way.
