I'm Blogging: A First Time For Everything!!!

You can close your mouth now. I'm stunned that I'm blogging too. My sister has been such a great example. Her blog is a highlight of my week. So . . . . . .Here I go. (Just don't expect too much. I'm a complete novice!)
A little catch up (not ketchup): Here is our typical Christmas morning coming down the stairs. Notice the puny tree. You won't believe that I FINALLY bought a 9 footer pre-lit after Christmas this year. Scott's worried that I bought it without considering the "feelings" of our little old $4 tree friend who has been with us through thick and thin for 13 years. (sniff, sniff) I said, "We'll just put it in the playroom. I'm ready for more!"

The real reason I started this blog is that I'm hoping it will be a better way of sending video and photos to my family and friends.

Nicole and Ryan were in a show this weekend. They are in an group called PGY (Performing Groups for Youth). Nicole did it years ago once and this is Ryan's first time. I'm proud of them for having the courage to get on stage and perform. My camera wasn't focusing well, but here's a little taste of the show (I'll try to download their solos another time--I'm having troubles with it):

One last thing. It's goodbye nursery for me (boo hoo!) and hello to Young Women. I'm really going to miss those cute little nursery kids. It was the BEST calling in the world! I'll be the adviser to Nicole's class (Beehives).

One last thing--This is how Leah uses HER driveway in the wintertime.

This is how we use OUR driveway in the wintertime.

Nicole and Sierra "accidentally" got wet with the hose, made lemonade slushies, and soaked in the sun. Looks like summer, feels like spring, really IS winter. Gotta love California. (But we could use some rain.)

Kim -- so funny to see your kids coming down like that and then the fire playing on the TV... very similar dynamic in the Maury and Emily household! And, your daughter is like I remember you in the youthful days of our teen years... wow... she looks just like you.

Kim, Maury is right, your daughter does look like you! You have a good looking family. Kathy has the same fire you do, best kind no mess to clean. My house is some were between the two, no snow (at least not now) but no sitting in sun either. At least it is green in the summer, and so pritty in the spring.
