Josh's Cake


Here is a picture of the cake I made for my brother's birthday. If you can't tell it's a water polo player.

Samuel's Birthday




Although Samuel's birthday was a month ago, I wanted to post some pictures of his party. This year we let him have a party with some of the children from the ward. They made placemats with stickers, played the game Hullabaloo, and had cake and ice cream.
Samuel wanted a flag cake this year. I thought it was an interesting choice for a six-year-old, but whatever. I think he might of chosen that because they had been discussing President's Day at school.
We had his party the day after his birthday, so on his birthday, we had a special pizza and spaghetti dinner with his Grandparents. It was a lot of fun!

Thanks for voting!

Thank you to everyone who voted for my kids in the recent contest. Even though we didn't win, I really appreciate the love and support.

Please Help!








Hi Everyone!

Need your help. Recently my kids entered two contests to win a trip to San Diego, and we could really use a vacation. But, we need your help to win. I need you to go to a couple of websites and vote for my kids. Since you can only vote once per computer we are consolidating our votes on one child for each contest.

It's really easy and will only take you a second. Just go to each website, enter your email and vote for the number I ask you. Then check your email and follow the instructions to make your vote count.

First, go to this website. (You may need to copy and paste the link) Vote for 164. This is Janet.

The more votes we get the better our chances, so please vote on all the computers you have access to. Also forward this note along to everyone you know, so they can vote too.

I know I've been posting this everywhere, and I'm sorry if you've seen it already, but I really want to win! Thanks for all those who have voted.

Please, please, please help us!!
