Happy Birthday!!

Well its my hubby's birthday today. The kids picked out a Jazz ornament to give him, so this is him posing with it.

I know I should have been making him breakfast but he woke up early and made himself and the kids there favorite, swedish pancakes, to eat before we left this morning.

Can you guess how old he is?? We had these candles in his pancake but my camera didn't work for a second so we had to re- capture the moment.

He will probably never read this cause he thinks I am silly for having a blog but I just wanted everyone else to know what a Wonderful, Handsome, Caring, Hard working, Funny husband I have. Even on the mornings that he has only gotten 3- 4 hrs of sleep, he still wakes up whistling and singing with more energy then any of the rest of us. He works so hard so that I don't have to work much. I appreciate being able to be home with our 3 great kids as much as I do. He is my best friend and I am thankful for all the years I have had him in my life. He gets better and better looking each year, even with the grey hair, and I am proud to be his wife! If your reading this then please remember how much I love ya and that I hope you have an awesome birthday!!!

Brayden the hot dog boy

This is Brayden and his soccer buddy Noah. We spent a few hrs out side of Dan's in Layton on Sat. We sold hot dogs, chips and a drink for $2 and also hot chocolate for $1. They did pretty well for themselves.

More of Brayden and Noah. Brayden's mouth can sometimes get him into trouble, but this day I encouraged him to yell and be loud to get people over to us. He told alot of people that they looked hungry and to come over and help a kid make his dream come true!lol.

We had a pretty good set up and when the boys had no customers they gathered around the grill to stay warm.

Fundraisers $$$

Ok i have some pictures of Brayden doing ONE of his many fundraisers but left my camera at my grandmas, so they will come later. I need help and ideas. This is what's up! Brayden has been invited over to England with his soccer team to play soccer at the United Manchester field for 10 days. He will eat, play soccer, eat and play more soccer for 10 whole days. The catch is that Brayden has to come up with 3,000.00 to go. Brayden has sold everything from cookie dough, beanies, car decals, pizza, to hot dogs and chips! He has really worked hard and we have until June when he leaves to get the money. Right now he is selling SCENTSY so if any of you out there would like an easy, wonderful gift for someone or yourself for christmas then give us a call and we can bring you samples and take orders. Also, if anyone out there has a good fundraiser idea please share. I am running out of things for him to do. We did a yard sale and will probably do another in the spring but we need the cash to keep coming. Maybe someone works for a generous business that you know would be willing to sponsor Brayden. My wk gave Brayden $5o as a sponsor so whatever a business will do is one step closer to our goal. Leave me a comment about a good way to raise money without me picking up a 2nd job.

Thanksgiving at school

Madison and her class spent all week making there Indian costumes. They made there paper bag vest at home then made the indian headband with feathers at school. Of course the costume wouldn't be complete without the macaroni necklaces. This is Madison and her friends, Makayla and Ashlyn.

Mrs. Choate and the whole class. They were able to go down to the lunchroom and have a turkey feast. The turkey and mashed potatos were delicious.

After the lunch we took the kids through the school on a little parade. They enjoyed showing off there Indian outfit.

The Best Grandpa

Madison had the best time at my moms yesterday, she talked grandpa into letting her paint HIS fingernails AND toenails. He siad "OK if i can paint yours, you can paint mine" so this is what i came home from work to find. I might be in trouble for putting these on here, but if you don't tell him he will never know, Right?? He is so good to our family and he obviously will do whatever Madi wants. My mom had him convinced that she had no finger nail polish remover in the house and he about freaked. What a good sport. Gregg you are awesome and i totally think that bright red is your color. He seems so proud to show off his nails in this picture.

Movie night

So yesterday I took Jake and Madison to see High School Musical. My sister and her girls came with us and we had a good time. I didn't capture any pictures but i thought i would just write and say that without seeing the first two shows i still really enjoyed the movie. I was wondering if i am too old to have a crush on "Troy"??. I love watching people that can sing or dance and if you can do both, then that's even better. The girls LOVED the movie and i would even say Jake enjoyed himself but i think he liked the popcorn more.
