Minute to Win it

I was doing Melany's hair yesterday morning, knowing that Kamy was beside me doing SOMETHING! All the sudden she yells "DONE, MY MINUTE TO WIN IT" and we look over and this is what she did! We were pretty amazed at her creation. It was very funny!

Wedding Plans

I feel so overwhelmed at what I need to get done for the wedding. We started making a LIST of what we need and how much it will cost us! YIKES! Of course you have the BIG things like a dress, food, decorations, pictures,the cake,announcements, the horrible list! Then you remember all the little stuff like, slip for her dress, getting her hair done, the video, altering her dress, ties for the guys, skirts for the girls, and what in the heck am I going to wear?Okay so maybe that's not little stuff. At any rate, it all needs done and I hope I can pull it off! Here is a little taste of some of the pictures they took! That's right I got him to hold a Snowflake Lobo flag! It probably won't happen again! They took a lot of cute pictures! It about drove Shea crazy seeing all the kissing ones! So I only posted one!

This is T Jordan Tenney, he will soon be my son-in-law! Yikes, I really can't believe this is happening! I picked this picture to post to show his personality a little bit! He has the funniest sense of humor! His nickname is Junk. That's right Junk, what a name. He lives up to it and a lot more! I think I will start calling him T. We already have a Jordan. I am excited to have him in our family and watch them as they grow together.

Where did the time go? Wasn't she just my LITTLE girl? When we were camping this year Kim said to me "You could have a big year!" Sure enough big year! Wedding in October and then Derek will start his papers for a mission in February. I am thankful I have had good examples in my life of parents and sisters who have gone through all this so I know I CAN live through it! Even though they have all done it, I haven't and I am scared!!!! BUT with that said I am so excited too!

Blogging is frustrating

One reason I HATE blogging is I get so frustrated when I want to do something and I can't figure it out! I am so computer stupid! I need lessons! I try to get Tiff to help me but she looks at me like "really mom? How can you be that dumb?" Oh well, so I will keep plugging along trying to figure it all out.

Turning a new leaf.

"tiff blog for me."
"OK"

Done... Now I have opened the window to a beautiful opportunity for you to start blogging. You can even use my new speedy lap top so you can upload all the pictures you want. Go ahead and express yourself. It's okay to be silly. Or to be sad. or to be sincere. It's like a cyber journal... or possibly a scrapbook. All in favor of Yvette blogging more say I!

Happiness

So a few weeks ago Shea and I were planning this big trip to Vancouver to go to his mission and the dedication of the temple there. Well we started feeling guilty about just us going and not taking our kids (like most parents do). Why do we do that?

So we ended up taking our kids to Disneyland. Was it worth it?. . . . .It sure was! I spent 4 wonderful days with my favorite people. It was great time and we made wonderful memories!

The following Saturday we spent the day working outside in our yard and inside doing some spring cleaning. Even though we were working and working hard, we had such a great time and we made wonderful memories!

Monday night, we sat down for FHE, we were reading the scriptures and I got the giggles. We ended up not finishing reading, but then somehow we got serious again and we ended up having a wonderful talk about doing better as a family some of the kids ended sharing some of their feelings about the gospel. We had such a great time and we made some wonderful memories.

Lately I have felt so completely content with my life. I feel so blessed to have the kids I do! I know they are not perfect, but I am not a perfect mom. I am just grateful that I have the life that I do! Having such a great time and making memories that will last forever!
