last weekends events

Saturday we had Emilys birthday party and it went great! The festivities included playing telephone, having a talent show, decorating cupcakes, making fans, a pinata and listening to all the girls favorite, Taylor Swift. (Emily got Taylors first cd as a gift from a friend, Im not sure whos more excited, her or me...)
She also got her birthday spankins from all of us Sunday morning...
she may be getting a little too old for this tradition~
I was so pleased when Emily opened up the gifts from her sister and brothers and was just as excited to get books from the bookshelf as she was for her other gifts. Simplicity.... And she was thankful!
(that would be the middle picture, a book from annabelle)
Then that evening we had some yummy, although not beautiful, cake.
 It was lopsided and a little crumbly.
But she loved stuffing her face in it!
I have to add these pictures (below) just because I loved them. Doesn't Candice look just a little TOO sexy to be going to the temple?? lol... It was their anniversary on Sunday~ Yay for the Fowlers! And I got to watch little Asa for them . He is a beautiful baby~

and for the very last one, this is what Joshua does everytime Trevor and I are in the kitchen cooking...
he takes spices out of the drawer and makes a "caswel" (castle).
It was a fantastic weekend!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
