Taylor Loves Hockey!

Taylor has really enjoyed her first year playing hockey! Her team has won every game! The first few were total blowouts! So they shuffled the teams up a little so now she has a blue jersey instead of white. Now the games are a little more even. This time they played some out of town teams from Gilbert, AZ. They played really well and won 1-0.





Taylor has really improved on her skating! She is doing great! She even wants to continue next season! Dad is really proud of her! :)

Mom and Daughter(s) Book Club

This month's mom and daughter book club was at our house! We chose 'Everything on a Waffle' by Polly Horvath. The kids seemed to love it! The librarian at the city library recommended it for the age of girls in our group.

It was a fun night of questions and discussions. We printed out 'waffles' on paper and put the questions on the back and set them all on a plate. Too cute!!

Then for the dessert we served--what else--Waffles! We also had strawberries and whipped cream to put on top!! Yum!! They all had seconds!! :)

Emerie Gets a Character Award for Responsibility!

Emerie was chosen as one of two kids in her class to receive this award! We were so excited for her! They have a Character Counts assembly and the kids receiving the award (2 from each class) get called up to get their certificate! Kerby and I were both invited to attend the assembly. Emerie said: "I am so proud of myself!" It was so cute and so 'unexpected' of our 3rd born! ;)

Emerie with her cute friend Taylor Rhoton (the one she calls 'not my sister, Taylor, the other one!)



Love that Emerie! Congrats Emmie!!

Kerby and I took her out for Cold Stone that evening as a special treat! :)

More and more SNOW!

**Update 2/11/09: I just found out that the total of snow we received Sunday, Monday and the morning of Tuesday was 29 inches!!!

Well we are on snow day number two for this storm! School was canceled yesterday and today due to 'hazardous road conditions'!

I think we have gotten close to 18 inches in the last 24 hours! It is so crazy! It was 50 degrees just last week and sunny for about the last 2 weeks!

The kids LOVE it!! They went sledding yesterday and again today! It is a little windy and really cold today so they didn't last as long.

Our roof was finally clear of snow because it had all melted off. Now it is loaded up again!

There is no more room to shovel the snow! The piles are now too high for me to throw snow on!

Here is our BBQ in the backyard! I think it has about 18 inches piled up on it!

He's Just NOT That Into You!

It's always fun to go to the 'Chick Flick' movies with your girlfriends!! This was a great movie and a good time! After the movie we all went to Village Inn for hot chocolate and pie! These are a fun group of women I have met in the short 5 months we have been in Flagstaff!

Home Depot Craft Day

This was such a fun craft for the girls! It was a trinket box! It had 'velvet' inside where you would put the jewelry and they can paint it after it dries! I will have to add an 'after' picture when they finish painting their cute boxes!! :)

(**Maddie was not in these pictures because she was in Tucson for the weekend with her friend. I saved her craft for her to finish after she got back.)
