This is the cute craft I came up with as I woke up yesterday morning for our Other Meeting Activity in Relief Society. I think they are so cute! The little bags are burlap and filled with quilting badding (polyester fiber fill). Tied with hemp chord. That's it!<div>
<br /><div>
I cut 8 rectangles of burlap 10" x 5 3/4". Then I sewed a 1/2" seam along three of the sides. I trimmed the extra fabric of the corners so that the corners would be a little cleaner and turned the bag inside out. I used red acrylic paint to stencil on 3" letters that our Relief Society President cut out on her cricket. Then I cut a heart out of a note card and stenciled it in pink. I filled each bag with a handful of quilting badding and tied the top closed with a piece of hemp chord. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Voila! A cute Valentine burlap Love Sack! Super cute, fast and easy!</div>
</div>

We will also be having an exchange table and some finger treats for dessert. I can't wait to share this with our sisters!</div>

So, at the beginning of the summer, I wanted to keep my girls reading their scriptures. They all have different schedules and needs, so I wanted to make sure they kept up their scripture reading. To keep it fun, I wanted to add an incentive. So I came up with the idea of <b>Mosiah in a Month.</b> I used M&M's as a tool to introduce this theme! I copied a bookmark I found online, and adapted them to fit our family. The girls really liked this way of keeping track of their reading. (Some of the younger kids we decided it would be okay for them to listen to and follow along in their scriptures, but I wanted them to read the actual scriptures so they could get use to the language.)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Originally, I told them they would get 5 points for putting their name on the bookmark (basically for trying to participate). Then for each chapter they read, they'd get a point. (If they finished Mosiah, they could read any other book in the scriptures and get additional points for each chapter, but only AFTER they read Mosiah.) They would also get a point if they wrote something on our family text chat about something that stood out to them in their reading that day. (They could also just talk to me or my husband about it too.) They could only post once a day though. It was really neat to read the things that the girls were picking up on from their scripture reading. It really helped enhance my testimony this summer!! ( I did have to make up a chart to keep up on all the points. My husband and I did the challenge along with the girls too!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh! There was an additional challenge! It was called the Dad Challenge that my husband came up with. So the idea behind the points was that depending on how many points they earned, they could "buy" different items on the menu at our big dinner at the end of the summer reading (just like a restaurant.) Different menu items would be worth different amounts, so if they only had 10 points, they wouldn't be able to buy very much. (This was a great incentive for them to read, but I didn't end up using the points in the end. I'll explain later.) So the Dad Challenge was, if they read and shared a thought EVERY DAY, they could have ANYTHING on the menu! They thought that was pretty cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They didn't have to read an entire chapter each day. Just as long as they read a couple verses and shared something each day. Ultimately, the goal was to read the entire book of Mosiah, we have some slower readers, so I didn't want them to feel overwhelmed or that it was an unobtainable goal. And I wanted to keep this fun!</div>

I was pretty nervous because I had to change the rules, but didn't tell the girls! I wanted to keep the incentive for the points, but it just was too much work to make that much food, and I wanted to do a Mystery Dinner, so that would make it even MORE challenging!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had the girls make up some decorations for the yard the day before. (Pintrest was a blessing!) They also made place mats for the table! We had to host the dinner outside because they couldn't be in the kitchen at all!! I didn't want them to see what I was making! In fact, Saturday, after I went to the store, I told them that all food in the house was off limits. If they were going to eat something, they had to ask me first! (I didn't want to wake up Sunday and realize I didn't have half my ingredients!) I didn't even let my husband in on the menu! I prepped as much as I could on Saturday and then before I started the assembly on Sunday, I hung sheets around the kitchen so no one could see in. (It was my secret lab!!) As you can tell, I really built up the suspense! And it paid off!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before the dinner, I held an awards ceremony. I had one daughter who successfully completed the Dad's Challenge (so she got a big package of M&M's) and one daughter that only missed 2-3 days (so she got a medium package of M&M's)! That's pretty good considering the month actually extended into two months. Everyone else, got mini packages of M&M's as participation awards! </div>

A lot of work for me, though. I wanted it to be Book of Mormon based, which was super hard! I looked ALL OVER on line, and found very little help. So, this is the menu I made up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls were instructed to use all 15 numbers. They couldn't use the same number twice! They had to enter a number in each box for the three courses. It was fun to hear what they thought things might be. (And yes, that means that some of them had their dessert for the first course, which they thought was AWESOME!) **I posted the menu and items below.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had to have my husband help me with this part. It was too much all by myself. I put sticky notes with the numbers 1-15 on the table with the food item so it would be faster and easier to fill each plate. (This was a saving grace!! If you ever do this, the sticky notes are a MUST!) I also put names on each plate so I could match things up easier. Now the rule is to take away the plate and everything after each course. (If they were lucky enough to order water their first course, I let them keep it.) We used paper plates and they had a clean one for each course.<br />
<br />
Also, I would suggest only putting only a couple apple slices, or carrot sticks, or whatever the item is on the plate. It ended up being a lot of food and they were all stuffed by the end and really hadn't eaten all that much! After the dinner was over, they were allowed to go into the kitchen and have seconds of whatever they wanted.<br />

The girls had a blast with this whole thing! They didn't even mind that their points did or didn't count! And they said it was the best dinner EVER!!! I'm so glad it created a fun memory and all my hard work paid off! They are even planning other events for me now! Nephi in November, for example! I'm so blessed to have such a great family!<br />
<br />
If you end of doing this with your family, let me know how it goes and if you come up any helpful hints for the future!<br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I have a new calling in the Relief Society. I'm the 2nd counselor
and over the Other Activities. I don't have a committee yet, and so the
presidency helped me throw this evening together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Our theme was, "Take a Leap of Faith." We asked a few
sisters to share their conversion stories (in about 5 min. each) and then I closed by sharing Elder
Bednar's talk,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><u>Converted Unto
the Lord</u>, from October 2012. It's a great talk combining testimony and
conversion. </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Knowing that the gospel is
true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is
the essence of conversion.”</span> I closed my talk with the scripture, Alma 5:26 <i>"</i><i><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt;">And now behold, I say
unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and
if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye
feel so now?"</span></i><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span>I made up some
handouts for the sisters, which I have posted below. (I think they turned out
cute!)<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

To close
out the evening, the sisters were asked to bring something to share that they
had never made before (Take a Leap of Faith). And then we, as their sisters,
would in turn "Take a Leap of Faith" and try their creation! It was a
great hit!<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For those of you who are
curious, I made a Maple Bacon Cupcake. (My hubby has tried to encourage me to
make these for two years, but honestly, they just sounded gross.) As this is
something I have NEVER made (and would never normally make), my daughter and I
gave it a shot. We made a homemade maple cake and folded in bits of bacon. We
topped it with a maple frosting and candied bacon. It actually turned out quite
tasty! Kind of like breakfast, but better! So my husband now has gloating

I remember doing these with my grandma and there were tons of pink cookies and pink frosting! When Lylli was about 3, I decided to start doing cookie bakes at Valentine's Day too. They have always been a lot of fun. Last year was the only year in 7 that I haven't done one. So we were excited to get back to it this year! We usually do it the Saturday before Valentine's Day and this year was no different.<br />

The girls each get to invite a couple friends. Layla, being the loving soul she is, invited more friends than she was supposed to and therefore earned herself her own party. (Don't ask.) (She's the one bottom right.)<br />

Lylli, of course, only invited three friends and only one could come, but I think they had a good time. Although, I can never get a good picture of that kid. I even took a couple and this was the best one. Crazy, I know!<br />

Seryn, in all her silly glory, (middle) had all her friends show up. It was interesting to watch my girls interact with their friends. I'm proud of my girls for choosing such good friends. They seem to come from great families! That's always so nice!<br />
The Blevins came over too, but for some reason, I didn't get pictures of them. Needless to say, we had a great day full of pink and sweet!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998840618735328420.post-72953117354202153862013-02-06T22:36:00.003-07:002016-05-06T11:50:21.766-06:00Trip to Washington<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Christmas was lots of fun for us this year. I had to work until 2 on Christmas Eve, but then I met the girls at my parents' and we had homemade pizza for dinner. Then some family came over and we did some singing and made (and ate) homemade doughnuts. They are, of course, amazing!!</div>

So mine was the first to be opened so that Santa's would make sense. For Christmas this year, I bought all four of us plane tickets to Seattle Washington. My brother, Dean, lives out there as well as my boyfriend, Brian. The girls were VERY excited to learn they would be seeing everyone AND flying on an airplane!<br />

Of course, I can't begin to name all the wonderful gifts we received this year. Harry Potter wands, a mini food processor, suitcase, jewelry. Well, you saw the pile of gifts. I could go on for a while. But what's most important is that we had a nice time. I made dinner and my parents joined us. It was laid back and really nice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998840618735328420.post-91278046476673470432012-12-26T22:31:00.001-07:002012-12-26T22:31:34.528-07:00Santa's Lap!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's the end of October, so that means it's time for our October traditions. Namely getting pumpkins and making caramel apples!!</div>

Lylli found hers next. I told the girls they had to be able to carry the pumpkin they got. So naturally, Lylli chooses the biggest pumpkin she can. She can hardly carry the thing!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have recently been accused of never updating things. So, I’m
trying to fix that. But rather than fill everyone in on an entire year, I’ll
just start with now! So today, we went to Casper's first ever corn maze and had a great time!!<o:p></o:p></div>

Earlier this week, the girls were riding motorcycles with Papa Harold. Lylli went first. Then it was Layla's turn. Harold went to lift her up, and she hit her leg on the hot exhaust pipe! Poor thing! She's doing fine now, so that's good! :) But she had a HUGE blister!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpUP71x6fAKSctzlIxM8wyZDR_lS3cjZopxzkpLXu4tMmsAz2slSU1sj0smKZLUPy0GHjdeXx-kpGhuDy-PkX5sZ_w6W5-3er_haj51eGau8TGuMcrSWl7VH-uXxLk9yhzpEhlgDGPb2c/s1600/Picture+2+612.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633121669018451282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpUP71x6fAKSctzlIxM8wyZDR_lS3cjZopxzkpLXu4tMmsAz2slSU1sj0smKZLUPy0GHjdeXx-kpGhuDy-PkX5sZ_w6W5-3er_haj51eGau8TGuMcrSWl7VH-uXxLk9yhzpEhlgDGPb2c/s400/Picture+2+612.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioX5DcpwpYlsws-HPFyqlLjHkLY31_VnT6iv4nDm0HsqOxt6zNX54fkzlw6V5nATM_-lnRAMdCoy_ExqZsob4_eal267aF6LqHPzK3MjG9g0QyXjq4hXYXHSG0j5Xks0lelGgrC7b8Q1w/s1600/photo%255B1%255D.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633121663985711090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioX5DcpwpYlsws-HPFyqlLjHkLY31_VnT6iv4nDm0HsqOxt6zNX54fkzlw6V5nATM_-lnRAMdCoy_ExqZsob4_eal267aF6LqHPzK3MjG9g0QyXjq4hXYXHSG0j5Xks0lelGgrC7b8Q1w/s400/photo%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a><br />Today we went on an outing to Shane's dad's (just a half mile from his mom's) to see our kitty. (Jerry's watching the cat until we get a house.) The girls were riding their bikes, and Shane and I walked with the dog. Seryn rides well but doesn't brake well. She'd rather stick out her feet to stop. Well, Shane lifted her seat a bit so she could peddle better up the hills. Deciding to follow her sisters, instead of waiting for her dad, Seryn followed the big girls down the hill to the house. Unfortunately, when she stuck out her feet to 'brake' her feet didn't reach as well she thought they would. She panicked, her arms caused her wheel to go crazy, she hit the curb, and crashed. (The picture above is her mark she left on the world!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Iy0w074dFdlUW9QrfLBX1t0NIS_JvsMATMMRO62VZU_IMlJNih8kiGKoP9GL8cTRlA9ryVa2yt5TMsty2m0XZfxS_Zb3aHbvJYYOK0_E7IpX5bGJ6D1d0LpkF5EG0rzXmlR7CIo0_wI/s1600/Picture+2+613.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633121657247240626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Iy0w074dFdlUW9QrfLBX1t0NIS_JvsMATMMRO62VZU_IMlJNih8kiGKoP9GL8cTRlA9ryVa2yt5TMsty2m0XZfxS_Zb3aHbvJYYOK0_E7IpX5bGJ6D1d0LpkF5EG0rzXmlR7CIo0_wI/s400/Picture+2+613.jpg" /></a> She got banged up pretty good, but she's doing well. She has a pretty big gash under her chin, and most people probably would have had her taken in for stitches. But Shane butterflied it closed, and I think it will be fine. She's bruised, but in relatively good spirits!<br />Hopefully that is the end of our summer injuries this year!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998840618735328420.post-71002800969430903952011-07-24T20:44:00.004-06:002011-07-24T21:05:19.841-06:00Random Summer PicturesWe have had a busy summer! The girls got their tonsils out, then I had my hysterectomy. Two weeks later, we attended my family reunion. The following week, Shane and I went to Casper to find jobs (Shane found a job at National Oilwell, and I found one as a teller at Wells Fargo), then he and I returned to Provo to pack up the house and move. Shane and I start our new jobs this week and the kids start school in a couple weeks. Needless to say, I've been busy. So, here are a few random pictures from various adventures this summer.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8o7zBxhBPnOxBlb6dE5dSOFJ-l-GenoLTQwAEeJsRxHl6qsBjml4kUwSjAwpm8O6dWg0NDhAKSYiApJnxSnRQqzVRdDBka2xAoaXoA95VFXJogJ2yytiZHH67XhHa2ohqRC1fM0uDnMU/s1600/Picture+2+625.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633117763839028354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8o7zBxhBPnOxBlb6dE5dSOFJ-l-GenoLTQwAEeJsRxHl6qsBjml4kUwSjAwpm8O6dWg0NDhAKSYiApJnxSnRQqzVRdDBka2xAoaXoA95VFXJogJ2yytiZHH67XhHa2ohqRC1fM0uDnMU/s400/Picture+2+625.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJb7IfGXlK6bn3A6YveT1eBfj7n7lc4HIr0Whw_Wyl2Cv-YkN6xQsmKtfXV3pEzypzkYa38-HwFcJPRC6JTtNlhkgvRU1Dt6A3ftpywfTu9ISEVzKB_XwDRvaOwM2CFiJlNBFXuv-EfE4/s1600/Picture+2+623.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633117756151000850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJb7IfGXlK6bn3A6YveT1eBfj7n7lc4HIr0Whw_Wyl2Cv-YkN6xQsmKtfXV3pEzypzkYa38-HwFcJPRC6JTtNlhkgvRU1Dt6A3ftpywfTu9ISEVzKB_XwDRvaOwM2CFiJlNBFXuv-EfE4/s400/Picture+2+623.jpg" /></a><br />Shane and some of his friends at a BBQ.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56tkU3gBLkg4bndKI1rmfVmNmUrn0fJdKGhFVXdEY_ATOiaXNXIrL5hw7UUPsYyFdNjJhUyppQHbxqLpKV-TqzbKv_iO4zgd8VjWKKmIvJaqQJCSkUaJ3dpKnLg4egDSJsxs44yUYPAw/s1600/Picture+2+621.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633117750020441666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56tkU3gBLkg4bndKI1rmfVmNmUrn0fJdKGhFVXdEY_ATOiaXNXIrL5hw7UUPsYyFdNjJhUyppQHbxqLpKV-TqzbKv_iO4zgd8VjWKKmIvJaqQJCSkUaJ3dpKnLg4egDSJsxs44yUYPAw/s400/Picture+2+621.jpg" /></a><br />We were at a BBQ with some friends and this nice girl took to Seryn.

The mosquitos were horrid, but we all managed to have an enjoyable time. It was two weeks after my surgery, so I didn't hike, but we had a good time.<br />

I've been updating everything on Facebook, but if you don't stalk me, you may be in the dark. Plus, my blog now has pictures!<br /><br />First, I forgot to post a couple pictures from Lylli's birthday. Shane and I got her a new scooter. This one holds up to 180 lbs and the wheels are quite a bit larger than the razors (which only hold about 95 lbs). It also goes much faster!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpAEtKoe73m6YZtGtEzhEhcHVgjRNPh9HhtWPGqN9Ax3TyWr_NawMiJo_Tb763fsb7DoNmSQ9yczGtxs_2JuFjsoUPL0kmTHpI1IK0jgZJq4AdhNh9cvUbisdLwpQlvkAgP9zlIlC3S3s/s1600/Picture+2+467.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616306227104397682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpAEtKoe73m6YZtGtEzhEhcHVgjRNPh9HhtWPGqN9Ax3TyWr_NawMiJo_Tb763fsb7DoNmSQ9yczGtxs_2JuFjsoUPL0kmTHpI1IK0jgZJq4AdhNh9cvUbisdLwpQlvkAgP9zlIlC3S3s/s400/Picture+2+467.jpg" /></a> Lylli especially likes it because it is called a Road Rager!! She says she wants to cross out Road and write Lylli! She and Shane also painted the gold on the wheels green. She loves it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha-ZjhnxXMrNSQYfqLNgT41_3Zug54su42vHHuSKY7LKvrdq3Zgfh80hfYTrsswc9jKIHvcVfm3oRIA-7suHYAkPWNiLy4nADF1bxA-o_1xyT_c0O5jl2C8RZT6rvLkJm69bXs-UDjKcI/s1600/Picture+2+455.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616306216219998610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha-ZjhnxXMrNSQYfqLNgT41_3Zug54su42vHHuSKY7LKvrdq3Zgfh80hfYTrsswc9jKIHvcVfm3oRIA-7suHYAkPWNiLy4nADF1bxA-o_1xyT_c0O5jl2C8RZT6rvLkJm69bXs-UDjKcI/s400/Picture+2+455.jpg" /></a> In this picture you can see the size differnce of the wheels between Layla's Razor and Lylli's Road Rager!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnccd9ehfSH3deDK9BYKHx_puv3znrVoPgHwF3E961PsGebHM32DNG6VssVDkxL8AdpPqKxlTzwA_68IxPzmJ9EXI84wNfinFq_BdMQPcTVmvX5q5n7qEEy_WLS8EXYml51qIUrvTnZk/s1600/Picture+2+564.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616306214360330818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnccd9ehfSH3deDK9BYKHx_puv3znrVoPgHwF3E961PsGebHM32DNG6VssVDkxL8AdpPqKxlTzwA_68IxPzmJ9EXI84wNfinFq_BdMQPcTVmvX5q5n7qEEy_WLS8EXYml51qIUrvTnZk/s400/Picture+2+564.jpg" /></a> Lylli also got a gift card and some money from a couple friends at her birthday party. So I took her to the store and she bought herself a skateboard, which she loves! She's pretty good, for never having done it before! She wants to get good enough to go to the skate park in Casper. I remember even when she was little she used to ask me if she could go there! Well, if she keeps practicing <em>(and wears the right protective gear)</em> she can!</div><br /><div><br />Now to the tonsil.<br /></div><br /><div>My girls have always had big tonsils. When Seryn was a baby, the doctor told us she had 'beefy' tonsils. He also told us they would have to come out but we should try to wait until she was at least 3. So, Shane now has great insurance and, knowing my other girls have big tonsils too, we decided to get them all out. Crazy, I know. But maybe it was really genious! Either way, it's over and done with now!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>If I'd been thinking clearly, I would have gotten a picture of them all together before they went in for surgery. They looked so cute in their 'hospital jammies.' But I didn't think of it until just before they wheeled Layla off. (Mommy was a little anxious about her babies!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9OMAY2GWhkwOcTQ1-Esi0W97V4nPm6F6H6_Z0sLwyUyLhUuS8mYDa2ajFt3y74iAERN8qKKaA4u6amzO1M-FIdQtt79qcYhSYDNiDjwJVZwSMaiXuAtOCShTqlSbosufz5WfBlCXQpwE/s1600/Picture+2+565.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616306203531235442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9OMAY2GWhkwOcTQ1-Esi0W97V4nPm6F6H6_Z0sLwyUyLhUuS8mYDa2ajFt3y74iAERN8qKKaA4u6amzO1M-FIdQtt79qcYhSYDNiDjwJVZwSMaiXuAtOCShTqlSbosufz5WfBlCXQpwE/s400/Picture+2+565.jpg" /></a> Layla was so cute in her little hat! I'm not sure if she was nervous and therefore happy or if she was excited to do something new. I have to hand it to the nurses who really made this a good experience for the girls.<br /></div><br /><div>So, my mom came on Wednesday so she could have a couple days to spend with the kids before they were miserable. So that was fun for everyone.<br /></div><br /><div>Friday morning, we went to the hospital. Seryn was first, then Layla, and then Lylli. One of the nurses told me that they sometimes will get two siblings at a time, but almost never three. She said she remembers only one other time with three, and that was 15 years ago!<br /></div><br /><div>Perhaps this was suicidal, but now it's done, and I don't have to worry about it ever again. Having my mom here to help was a godsend!<br /></div><br /><div>So life was pretty crazy there at the hospital for a while. They were checking all three girls in and the doctors came and talked with us as well as nurses and there were papers to sign. I think at any given time we had 5 to 10 nurses/doctors between two rooms before the surgeries started.<br /></div><br /><div>And everyone was enchanted by the girls!<br /></div><br /><div>So, they wheeled Seryn off, and while she was in recovery, they took Layla back. They then brought me Seryn (who was crying) while Layla went to recovery, and then they took Lylli. Poor thing. Seryn needed Mommy and Lylli was told she needed to go into surger and was a little nervous because her sister was so upset. She didn't know why Seryn was crying and that made her a little uneasy.

So we've been busy.<br />While my mother-in-law was here, we went up to SLC to see Shanda and John who were in town for the bike races. We went to the Discovery Center.

Her party was originally planned for Saturday, the day after her birthday, but her best friend was leaving town for the summer that day so we changed it to Friday. Lylli had a GREAT day!! It was the last day of school and they got out at 11:30.

First thing this morning, she came in to my room and said, "Mommy, is today my birthday? Am I four today?" When I told her that she was, she threw her arms around me and squealed in delight!<br />Seryn is a joy and a blessing in my life. She is a very happy girl and loves her sisters. She has a very vivid imagination and wants to impress others. She also has an amazing sense of color and fashion. She just knows what looks good (most days.) She's quite the perfectionist, is always missing someone who's not with her, and is a mommy's girl! We are really blessed to have Seryn in our lives! Even though she may cause us all to go to our graves before we are ready, as she is EXTREMELY accident prone!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDHgaHaZzq4-V8Cl7MqggFDerly67qt33Yg7a9-OSlEa3MxJM8q5vE3UeFOQDkrK02btTfdJ0zZIj8hvoomTmDG7Dz0pBH5CieOqmWxDlBp8c6bOz99sRUA7GpkMc_LIbJFy_PBDvs-DA/s1600/Picture+2+437.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610112668138071602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDHgaHaZzq4-V8Cl7MqggFDerly67qt33Yg7a9-OSlEa3MxJM8q5vE3UeFOQDkrK02btTfdJ0zZIj8hvoomTmDG7Dz0pBH5CieOqmWxDlBp8c6bOz99sRUA7GpkMc_LIbJFy_PBDvs-DA/s400/Picture+2+437.jpg" /></a><br />It rained like crazy this morning but was so nice after lunch. So Shane wanted to give Seryn her bike after lunch so she could ride it a little before it rained again. (which it did) She had a bike, but Lylli and Layla had both ridden it into the ground. So eved though Seryn rode it a little, it's difficult to ride a bike that the seat doesn't stay on.<br />Needless to say, she LOVES her new pink bike and rides it pretty well!

We didn't stay long, but we had a good time with our families. The first morning in Casper, Seryn fell off the bed and hit her head on a table and got a little bruise. Later that night, she was tired and jumping from couch to couch at Nana's and face planted!! Her goose egg was HUGE and stuck around for a couple days. We have since learned (I hope) that monkeys don't jump on couches or beds!!! I'm amazed this kid hasn't ever broken anything. If something is going to happen, it ALWAYS happens to Seryn!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZ6btH9G5zJaOOhF5QgeaRJMhSQvDxJVjdg0PQ9qlKW-4b8nccasC_xVegWWaunTvrrdiFEF3O24m6y0NXSAJJIJrUh17zHcp9L6uaA1aL06cYqg7jq2zMfWDMulJQepmiHQ6BcbO0WY/s1600/Picture+2+335.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606420839932241666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZ6btH9G5zJaOOhF5QgeaRJMhSQvDxJVjdg0PQ9qlKW-4b8nccasC_xVegWWaunTvrrdiFEF3O24m6y0NXSAJJIJrUh17zHcp9L6uaA1aL06cYqg7jq2zMfWDMulJQepmiHQ6BcbO0WY/s400/Picture+2+335.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div>Our kitty is getting SO big, but everyone still loves him! We have put him outside, and he is not a fan! But he's getting use to it and has proven himself equal to the dog. (There was a pretty big fight over sleeping arrangements the first night, and I'm pretty sure the cat won.) So they pretty much just avoid each other!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRPzb-AF45x7rHMfUeWeaAH9OVTpzrP7MuMsJGxcmrCHaLVutcDI5Ue5n1wOnYX1a8rs2dtT_aNhiJImk_QaV6ZkfS1Dqkso3-zomTizF2E_1LyR7KdNIFrS7uzce3mfeLC00uKJnwpQ/s1600/Picture+2+344.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606420833911482898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRPzb-AF45x7rHMfUeWeaAH9OVTpzrP7MuMsJGxcmrCHaLVutcDI5Ue5n1wOnYX1a8rs2dtT_aNhiJImk_QaV6ZkfS1Dqkso3-zomTizF2E_1LyR7KdNIFrS7uzce3mfeLC00uKJnwpQ/s400/Picture+2+344.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>This is Layla holding baby Nolan.
