Food Lesson #1....It doesn't matter how cold it is outside, if you have yummy food to keep you company, everyone still has a blast!

The kids and I were invited to another one of Jenni's amazing parties this last weekend. She really out does herself and i think she must start planning for these things weeks and weeks ahead of time. Jen, you should seriously go into business because these parties are just adorable!

The goodie bags

S'mores cupcakes!

Madelyn, too adorable in that hat and pea coat! I love it!

Rod let Immanuel help cook the hot dogs, which Iman was really excited about and did a fantastic job with! Thanks Rod!

Bubbles! Jack was so excited as this was his first time successfully blowing them instead of eating them!

Katie with her corn on the cob!

The smile on Sarah's face was at the joy of discovering that being next to the grill meant instant warmth!

Ellis Sowby, too cute!

See there's Jack with yet another marshmallow on a stick! lol!

Lucky for us it was one of Jenni's parties as it was also outside and the weather decided to be perfectly winter like (minus the snow). The yummy treats outweighed any thoughts of leaving early to escape to warmer weather. It was quite comical to me really that those that didn't have the foresight to bring gloves etc. (like me who thought the shinning sun would warm up the day) and had blue lips and purple hands (this was Jack, who also refused to wear the extra scarves Jen provided) seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves anyway! It really was a great morning and the hot dogs and chilli was a big hit and went along perfectly. Jack loaded up on marshmallows and i found that the minute he was done with one treat he came up to me asking permission for another.

Thanks again for a great party Jen, the kids and I had a great time. Happy Birthday again to Tre and Maddox! What a great and dedicated Moma you are! :-)

All about John & Nicola

Well, John is the extremely handsome red-head, of course, and I'm the little one in front of him! John is a marriage and family therapist and I am a domestic engineer as well as a dental hygienist. We met in June of 2000, were engaged by the very end of September 2000, and were married December 16th 2000. We have four lovely children as you can see below and love life and all that it has brought and taught us! We love to talk, have friends over, cook and eat food, camp, and pretty much do anything as a family.

All About Edy

She is fun-loving and pretty much always wants her way (who doesn't) and 90% of the time it works out well as she's a good girl with righteous desires and is extremely responsible and mature for her age. However that 10% of the time where we actually don't agree on something, she can be a little devil! She is a huge help with Jack as these two are best buds! Jack likewise adores her and she is the only one out of his other siblings that he'll let parent him. Eden is also in the fifth grade and loves to read. She has a passion for horses and all animals really and also loves to cook and bake.

Top 7 Favorite of "The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book"

{Why 7 and not 10...because I haven't found three more I really like the best yet. AND these are in no particular order either.}

1. Remember that life's most treasured moments often come unannounced.
2. Hold puppies, kittens, and babies any time you get the chance.
3. To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.
4. Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.
5. Watch for the big problems. They disguise big opportunities.
6. Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.
7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.

The Duty of Mothers...

The duty of the mother is to watch over her children, and give them their early education, for impressions received in infancy are lasting. You know, yourselves, by experience, that the impressions you have received in the dawn of your mortal existence, bear, to this day, with the greatest weight upon your mind. It is the experience of people generally, that what they imbibe from their mothers in infancy, is the most lasting upon the mind through life... Children have all confidence in their mothers; and if mothers would take proper pains, they can instill into the hearts of their children what they please. You will, no doubt, recollect reading, in the Book of Mormon, of two thousand young men, who were brought up to believe that, if they put their whole trust in God, and served Him, no power would overcome them. You also recollect reading of them going out to fight, and so bold were they, and so mighty their faith, that it was impossible for their enemies to slay them. This power and faith they obtained through the teachings of their mothers.
