Glamour Girls Plaza Party.......

This weekend we were able to celebrate Kelsee's 12th birthday. We had a glamour girls party and I glamored all 12 girls. They all arrived in their lounge wear and we started out with eating strawberries dipped in chocolae pudding, chips and dip, and cookies. They moved onto a gettig a facial mask while soaking their feet. Their facial masks ingrediants consisted of 1 tbsp yogurt and 2 tbsp of honey. This makes your face soft. After soaking their feet and getting a facial mask they moved over to my neice Hailey were they would then recieve painted toes and fingers. What would I have done without my Hailey? You tell me. Ater their toes I steamed a warm wash rag in the microwave to remove their facial masks. Alot of them enjoyed that part. Then I rubbed their legs and feet with oil. I thought some of them were going to fall asleep on me. They all looked very relaxed and glowing. After all the pampering they hoped over to the table to design quotes on sea shells. They came up with some creative quotes. They continued on with playing games. What a kick it was to listen to all the girls giggle aboout truth and dares. We ended the night enjoying the taste of cake, ice cream and opening gifts with them taking home their glamour bags. Kelsee received some of the neatest gifts and amazing cards from her friends and family. Thank Hailey for being my sidekick. I love you so much and enjoy having you with me. Thank you to all her friends and family for making her day full of memories and laughs.

Pre-Teen........

Today is Kelsee's 12th birthday. My baby is now a pre-teen. She is so excited to be 12. She has grown into such a beautiful, talented, smart, sweet young lady. She wakes up every morning with a smile and goes to bed every day with a smile. She brings out a smile in all of us. She is our ray of light and the best big sister in the world. Her little heart is the biggest heart when it comes to caring. She is always concerned about everyone's feelings and thoughts. She has made a lot of friends that look up to her and appreciate her friendship. She loves to tease and joke and make you smile. She a talented dancer and loves to teach children. She has inspired our lives and we love her with all our hearts. Happy Birthday dolly!

I Love you with all my heart,

Mom

Easter Sunday......

What a beautiful day to celebrate Easter. We woke up with Easter at home and then went to Bud and Marilyn's for more celebration. We had a wonderful lunch/dinner and enjoyed watching the children having fun. We enjoyed Jamie being home and we all sluffed Monday too to have an extra day together.

Son of God.....

As Easter approaches the girls and I enjoy sharing the meaning of Easter. My love and appreciation for our Lord and Savior is overwhelming. As I watch my children turn to Jesus and our Heavenly Father in prayer, my heart melts with joy and gratitude knowing that they have faith in Him and understand the power of healing, protection, guidence and love. What a tremendous blessing to have our Savior and Heavenly Father in our lives. I am so thankful for the Atonement and for our teachings.

"I hope that all of us begin our day be spending some time with the Savior, feeling his Spirit and enjoying his love for us" (Aloha! 35).

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and remember our Lord, Savior, Brother on this day.

Baby.........

Yep! Baby GIRL number 4. We were suprised but excited. She is active just like her big sister Avree was. She was doing summer salts and kicking during the ultrasound. There was one time that she looked like she was waving to us from the monitor. She looked healthy and strong. We are taking after the Haacke girls. Nothing wrong with that hugh grandpa. What a blessing to have 4 beautiful and healthy daughters in our lives. Jamie will have a full head of grey hair when dating time starts. If anyone would like to contribute to our daughter wedding fund we would be happy to accept. Hehehe! Can't wait to see her. Our due date is September 11th. Kind of wierd hugh (9/11). We will keep you updated. Tata for now (TTFN).

Laramie Wyoming....

The girls and I went to Laramie WY Wednesday to visit Jamie. We enjoyed our stay with him and dreaded coming home. It was a little chilly but the days were beautiful. Jamie said that someone above loved us and was watching out for us because it has not been that nice yet. It was windy Sunday but other that that it was perfect. Jamie worked Wednesday and Thursday but was able to spend Fri., Sat. and Sun. with us. On Friday we took the girls to Colorado to shop and have dinner. We had such a good time. On Saturday we took them to the recreation center to go swimming. They had a blast. Avree had fun splashing. I couldn't take her to far out for fear that someone would splash water in her ears. She can't get water in them yet. After swimming we went to lunch and rented a movie. The girls watched High School Musical 3 and Jamie and I watched Australia. We enjoyed Australia but we didn't think it was the best movie. We drove home Monday morning and are missing Jamie already. The girls had St. Patricks Day to look forward to on Tuesday so they were excited. Thanks daddy for a good time. Can't wait to see you in April Sparky!
