DisneyWorld~Orlando~FL

January was sort of a fast pace month. David and the girls surprised me with a Birthday party and then the next day  we left for DisneyWorld.  It was a trip for the two of us and one that I will always remember, it was truly delightful and full of fun experiences. We stayed at the Polynesian Resort, one of the most amazing Disney resorts and every night before we went to our room we had a "dole-whip" a soft pineapple ice-cream that was the most delicious treat, after all,,,we walked all day long. We enjoyed the Magic Kingdom and Wild Animal Kingdom, but I love, love, love Epcot…It was such a fun  cultural experience and a great place for shopping which of course I enjoyed. We had breakfast at the France exhibit which had the most amazing bakery, we went there a couple times. Lunch in Italy and of course I loved the tea shop in England. We had dinner at "Le Cellier"the famous Canadian restaurant.  The weather was lovely and every night we enjoyed the beautiful fireworks that of course are done the Disney way and doesn't matter how many times we experience this it is always magic.

Holiday Season

This Holiday Season is going so fast …I wish it will last a little longer…This month we hosted a couple Christmas parties at our home. One with my artsy ladies and the other with friends and family. This year as well as last year I did all my shopping online. I tried keeping it simple, but I always end up spoiling the girls with too many fun things that I keep finding for them…such a joy….David finished an amazing new painting that we added to our Christmas cards, he is so talented. I have a few projects that did not get done, but for the most part I did well, considering that now besides my full time job I'm Primary President and  I can finally say that honestly I have time for nothing… Love  my calling and every Sunday children make me feel humble, they are so amazing, so loving and so honest. 

From Red Room to Blue Room

A couple of weeks ago we started the process to make a simple remodeling project to my craft room. I needed a change. David wasn't to crazy about my choice of blue, but I wanted to give it a fresh look. Now it reminds me of the ocean....love it...I have an old curio in the room with all my birds....yes I said birds...I started collecting them years ago and every time we travel we came back with a new one...I painted the curio yellow and wow...what an amazing change, it looks so pretty. I started  painting a Saturday morning and my sweet husband did all the detail work, edges, corners, doors...all the fun stuff that takes so much time and an eye for perfection like he has. When we finished with everything I spend a week organizing. Every night after work I was dedicating an hour or so going through boxes and containers. I labeled all the containers so when Krystel, Cristine, grandma Schmidt or anyone that wants to work in my room, are spending time crafting they can find things easily. Happy with my results and super happy with my new room.

Park City Love

This year we again rented a house in Park City during the week of David's Birthday. We had a great time first just the two of us and then with all the kids. Seems that this vacation works for everyone since it is so close to the city that everyone can be there according to their schedules and turns out to need very little planning. We enjoyed main street and hiking with the beautiful fall colors. How fun it was to have everyone there, watching movies and having some great family time. 

Gage & Bree

Gage and Bree were married September 24th. It was a beautiful wedding and they both look radiant and so very happy. Seems like yesterday he was just a little boy...The years really went fast, really fast. Now as a family we are creating new memories, wonderful memories with all our children finding true love and happiness.
