Our own little Drama Queen

The Missoula Children's theater came to Walnut Elementary again this year and Megan once again was cast in a part. She was a "Camelotian" or a Citizen of Camelot in the play "King Arthur's Quest". Here is the picture from the paper of her at one of the practices. She is standing in the middle of the back row in the blue t-shirt.

Sweet Sixteen

Jordan turned 16 on the 13th of January, she's driving!!  So exciting but I sincerely can't believe she's 16 years old.  Her Young Women's leader made her the most adorable cake I've ever seen.  I mean the talent that it took just blows me away.  The top layer was Lemon with Raspberry filling, the middle was vanilla with cookies and cream, and the bottom was chocolate with fudge.  So yummy and I had to share a picture of this beautiful creation.

Megan turns 8 with a bowling bash and boyfriends

Megan celebrated her 8th birthday at "Pla-Mor Lanes" and I'm not quite sure how to deal with the fact that she is more boy crazy than her 16 year old sister!  Her friends Ryan and Tommy were there along with all her cousins, and her friends Sidney, Sadie and Brooke.  She was happy and crazy and it was difficult to finish the game of bowling in between the boy chases around the bowling alley.  I think it was the longest two hours of my life to date.

Halloween 2009

So fun, the kids were cute, the costumes were funny, the candy was plentiful, I even dressed up as a cowgirl but no pictures to prove it.
Here's some of the fun.....The best is little Miss Brooklyn w/ Obama.  Connor was pretty brave to pick that costume to wear in Wyoming I thought.

Max the Skeleton, Kyle the Storm Trooper, Gabe the Giraffe......

Megan the Pirate....

Jordan the "Happiness Fairy" - her and her two friends had a little theme and they were each a different color fairy.  They had fun and went to a dance.

My Birthday was great!

I am officially 39.  One year before the big 4-0.  My family was so sweet to me.  I got french toast breakfast and a new leather jacket, a homemade cheesecake from my sweet sister, Heather, and lots of cards and wishes on Facebook from everyone, even people from high school who I haven't talked to in 20 years.  It was a good birthday.  We went out to dinner on Saturday night as a family, Dave took me to see the latest "chick flick"  Couples Retreat --good if you want to laugh a lot!  And even though it was on a Sunday, it was relaxing and wonderful.  Thank you everyone.  I am truly blessed to have such good friends who called to wish me a happy Birthday and even my neice who sang "you look like a monkey and smell like one too" Olivia, I love you.   Next year I think I'll be 39 again.
How about that?  No objections, PLEASE.
