Another crazy week gone by...

Monday - We started the week off with a dance performance for Alyssa. She is in a group with two of her cute little friends Cassie S., and Emmy S. They all did such a great job. Alyssa had to sing a solo for her voice teacher also at the performance. She sang "My Favorite Things". She hasn't seen "The Sound of Music" so she wasn't to happy about singing that song... I told that once she saw the movie she would love the song.

Tuesday - We had Ashley's performance today. She is in her group with her best friends... Sara W, Ella M, and Maggie S. All of these girls were so stinkin' cute. Oh my gosh to see there little butts shaking was so cute. I love to watch her dance. Alyssa also had a solo that night too.

Wednesday - I worked! I had YW. We had the cutest service project. It was called "Joy to the Ward". We had all of the primary kids come to play games and do crafts so that the parents could go shopping, eat dinner, take a nap, sit on the couch or just about what ever they wanted to do with out the kids. It turned out so great. We had 5 stations. A craft, a game, quilt tying for a hospital, a snack with story, and Santa Bingo. CUTE CUTE CUTE - Great Job Stacey!

Thursday - It must not have been too great because I can't remember.

Friday - Well it is Friday - that is just good in it self. We had our ward party. Always a good time to be had at the good ol' ward party. We also had two soccer games... Yay!

Saturday - Was so stinkin' fun. We had NOTHING going on that we HAD to do. We went to McDonald's, went shopping at Target, surprised Grandma Karen and put up her trees, went to Woody's to eat, The girls had another performance at a Ward house... yay 2 ward parties in a weekend... what more could one ask for?, Finally Steve and I went shopping for some last minute things... What a great day.

Sunday - Steve and I got up and flew to Denver for my Christmas Party there. When we got there Steve's iPhone said that the weather was 1 degree - yes you read it right 1 degree. It was hard to breathe it was so cold! We went shopping all day then to our work party at the Marriott where we were staying. It was a super fun day.

Monday - We went to a buffet breakfast as if we hadn't gotten enough to eat the night before. Then we flew home, quick trip but FUN! I did a tiny bit of shopping before the kids got home, I took Harley to get a haircut... Oh my gosh he looks so dang cute. Then tonight we went to Alyssa's Voice Recital. She has a great voice. I love to hear here sing. It is really a talent that I wish I had. I think that I want to take voice lessons too. I am not sure if I could do the recital though, I might chicken out... Some Day!

There is a quick overview of my week.

With all of our life's so crazy right now I miss our girls nights out.
I miss the girl talk... lets do it soon!

Sunday - I got up and finished my young women's lesson while my kids and Steve decorated our 2nd tree right behind me... I loved the sound of their reminiscing about the ornaments. So cute. We rushed to get ready for church and get there. Sacrament was so great. Steve bore his testimony... it is always fun to hear what your spouse is thinking about and pondering. I love to publicly hear his testimony. In Sunday school I sat by Lisa W. I really love the family relations class. I have learned so many great things. I know sometimes it doesn't look like it but I really am trying to be a better Mom. I love what I learn from the Shewell's - they are great teachers.

My dreaded lesson... I think that it turned out pretty good. When we left time for testimonies some of the girls actually got up to bare their testimonies. It was the first time since we have been in there that they have stood up. It is so sweet to hear their thoughts... I love them.

FONDUE - it is our absolutely our family's favorite tradition. We eat with Us, Steve's parents and real Dad, My parents and my siblings... I will for sure post pictures... they are great. We eat SO MUCH at Fondue. Bread dipped in Cheese fondue, Apples, Bananas & pretzels dipped in white chocolate, milk chocolate & caramel and steak, shrimp & chicken in oil to cook and then to top it off we have a spinach salad. Oh my gosh - I gained 20 pounds tonight!!!! YUM!!!

All in all it was a great weekend but BUSY! I am going to bed!
