Our little ham

Chris was in the play Sleeping Beauty at school and we went as a family tonite and Grandma Sheetz came with. We had a lot of fun. Chris was very good and was such a ham. I took pics and actually am getting them posted right away. I am so proud of myself. =) We went out for ice cream afterwards. The play was great. They did a really good job putting it together.

Getting Close

Most of you know that I have been working on losing weight to be a healthier weight. I am very excited, because I am almost to my next big goal the big 7-0. I can't wait. I only have 2 more pounds to go. Yeah me. I have already decided my reward and can't wait to go get it. Here is my thank you speach to all those who have supported me up to this point. I have to acknowledge of course my fabulous and very wonderful, patient, loving husband for his words of encouragement. Alisha Despain who is a great aerobics instructor and encouraged me when I needed it. Thanks so much, your awesome. Of course I can't forget my sister Jody who has been my personal cheerleader over the phone through thick and thin. My mom and other sister becca who were also encouraging and supportive. I definetly have to say thanks to the ward for all those who are there cheering me on, I really appreciate it.

Paul and I decided to do Spring cleaning this weekend due to our schedules wouldn't allow it for the next month. We got our crew involved (of course). I know they didn't enjoy the work, but I know that they liked having really, really clean rooms. Paul was very eager to get going and so he got started yesterday and ended up doing the lions share of the work. He is so awesome. We finished up the rest today. The kids were happy to finish quickly and get outside in the beautiful weather. Maybe we should have done the outside...

Anyways there are only 8 weeks of school left (actually less because of spring break, etc. ) YEAH! Summer Break here we come.

I did it!

So, I know better late then never, but here are the pics of my new nephew and his "present" from Emily and the bunny is my 1st project I did at ceramics. Enjoy.

Me Time

I have been going to a ceramics class for some "me" time. I love it, I go once a week for 2 hrs. and work on painting ceramics. My first project was a bunny. It turned out very well I must say. (not intending toot my own horn, but it looks good for a first timer) My next project that I have started on, is 3 witches in a cauldron of bubbles reading a book. I am very excited to work on this every week. I look forward to it and when I finish, will try to post a picture of it (if it doesn't look too bad). The teacher is so good and she will help you when you screw up ( I do that lot).

I'm an aunt, again

Yeah, my sister Jody had her baby. Maybe she was 2 weeks early and the nurse delivered her, but she is here and is a healthy 7lb. 14 oz. She went in and not even an hour later she had her with absolutley NO edipural-now that's wonderwoman in my book.
She is such a great mom, we love comparing stories of likeness with our girls who are 6 months apart. They still look the same, they got there freckles at the same time have the same hair and eye color. I am very excited to go see my new niece soon. Paul and I now have 7 nieces and nephews, thanks to our siblings. I definetly love being an aunt to all of them.

Friends

Emily and I have been outside more this past 2 weeks. Love that sun. We have discovered that Evelyn (who lives 2 doors down and is a Sunbeam with Emily) and Hannah (not 2 doors down but a nice walk to, and also in Sunbeams with Emily, and BYU fans) are 2 good friends that Emily can play with. We have gotten into a routine. We come home from work/Julee (emily's sitter-whom she absolutley LOVES) and get lunch watch a little Dora and then its friends time. So we walk to one and if they aren't home or can't play then we go to the others to see if they are available. (For reasons of not wanting to hurt either ones moms feelings I won't tell who we go to first) Most times it has worked out and she just LOVES being a big girl and playing with HER friends. She has so much fun with them and that has been so nice for to play with kids that are her age. She LOVES our neighbors, (we love you Turnbows) don't get me wrong, sometimes its just nice to play/hang out with different people. She is also doing so well at dance, she LOVES to shuffle stomp in her tap shoes. That girl definetly has the stomp down. It is so cute to see her dance.

MP 3

The first term of school this last year, Brittany was doing significantly better than last year.(I believe she was on cruise control through Elementary.) So when she ended the term and was on the Honor Roll, I decided to continue motivating her by the usual motivation of 14 yr. olds, new toys. I told her that if she made Honor Roll the rest of the school year that I would get her an MP3 player. Well it has obviously worked and she has almost accomplished her goal. Go Brit
