Birthday Party!!!!

I know January has been CRAZY but we are doing Cake and Ice Cream for Mara (her birthday is Friday and she is turning 10) and Coulton (his birthday is Tuesday and he is turning 14!) on Sunday Night at 6:30 pm at our house. For those of you who haven't been out to see us yet this would be a good chance to come and see our new house and help us Celebrate! Please let me know if you are going to come so that I make sure we have enough cake (because I wouldn't want to run out with this family!! :)




Also they will be ordaining Coulton a teacher either the Sunday after his birthday or the Sunday after Just after that keep it in mind and I will let you know more when we get closer

YEA Birthdays!!

One of my favorite blogs that they have turned me onto is

She is so amazing she was even featured on Good Things Utah for this project that I am dying to do for Taylors room when we get it finished!

I have totally become a party blog person because I PROMISED my kids that this year after a VERY long birthday party drought in our house we WOULD be doing them this year, so I need Ideas!!!

This is the idea we found for Mara, now I have not gone crazy I am not going to do everything in this blog, because well its a little to much. BUT there are some great ideas that I will be utilizing. I would post a picture but its to big so you will just have to visit.

Lexi- we are going to do a Ballarina Party with Tutu's and everything. I have a sweet friend at work who found a place to buy tulle in bulk for way cheap and we will definately be visiting. I also found these cute felt crowns that I am seriously considering making

Taylor is turning 12 this year!!! if a birthday wasn't enough it really does up the stakes a bit. We have talked for the last couple of years about doing a totally pink pj party and I found this blog with some SUPER cute fun ideas for it

This cake is going to be a must!! but we will be using Heather's marshmellow fondant recipie so that it will taste as good as it looks!

As for Coulton I CANNOT find the perfect party for him yet and believe me its HARD to find the perfect idea for a 14 year old. They just play Video games and hang out most of the time so it scares me to even try. Esp. when I only have about 10 more days to figure it out. HELP!

Wish me luck!! I will post more have to things as I find them!

We sing...... ALOT

Ok so I am going to start a little backwards, This is Taylors program that she did in January with the entire 6th grade and had a solo to boot! We are so proud of her she did such an amazing job she made her mom cry... Every time I watch it.

The other ones are from Mara and Taylors Christmas program, in which they did a wonderful job. Taylor was so nervous that we had to get her attention and get her to uncross her arms and relax. Mara on the other hand is really into the music and sways the entire time! I am so proud of my girls, both programs took alot of work and time after school. They where amazing, I am a very proud Mom!!
