Life at the Jardine's: January 2013

Scott turns 5!!! And has a Mario Party!

You have to look close, but there are gold coins hanging from the ceiling. The kids had a blast getting them down like Mario would in the game! Super fun party!

Josh turns 10!!! And has a Harry Potter Party!

I had candles floating above the table. And "potions for our potion class" below.

I had so much fun putting together this treat cart. The kids loved it, and it was super yummy!

The cake....

Thanksgiving 2012

This was the first year we had Thanksgiving at our house! First time I've been in charge of the "turkey". Luckily it all turned out great, and was a fantastic success! Loved it!

I had so much fun dressing Jared and I up as "Ninjas from the Hidden Leaf" this year! It is from a Japanese Cartoon show called Naruto. No one knew who we were, but WE KNEW! And we knew just how AWESOME we looked! I couldn't stop smiling whenever I would look at Jared! He looked so perfect! And it was fun to get dressed up for our Halloween party, which turned out fun too.

Trick or Treating! Luckily we had great weather for it! It was a fun night!

4 Wheeling with Gma & Gpa Mortensen

So Beautiful! I love getting up the canyon to do this!

Breanne turns 8! And has a Pirate Party! "Arrrr"

"Arr"! Breanne wanted to have a Pirate party so she could invite boys and girls! It really turned out super fun! I loved the making the cakes too. And the party was a blast!

"Walk the Plank, ye skervie swaves!"

Eli turns 6! Has a Batman party!

11 years together!

Jared and I celebrated our 11th anniversary! We went to Cafe Rio, then up the Expo Center for a gun show, then to a movie (seriously can't remember what we saw...I'll update that later if I remember. Must not have been that amazing a show, but it was still fun to be together!) Then out to dinner The Pizza Factory. Fun day. Love this man. So grateful to be married to him!

Joshua plays Flag Football, and Dad coaches!

With Josh's 4th grade to This is the Place Park!

I got to go on the field trip with Joshua, and his fourth grade to This is the Place Park in SLC. It was so fun. I love going on field trips with my kids. And this was a really cool thing to do. We all had fun! Josh even got to be the volunteer helper for the olden days school teacher.

Mom gets her Blue Belt in Kenpo!

I am just loving the Kenpo class I get to be a part of. I hope I will never have to use this new found skill, but I must say that I do feel more confident knowing how to beat someone up! ;) But I also love being friends with all these great people! This has been a wonderful experience in my life! So grateful for this chance to do something I have always wanted to do.

Brigham LOVES dogs!!!

We visited Jared's uncle's house, and he happens to have this wonderful dog that Brigham just LOVED!!! Good thing this is such a good dog, because Brigham would just put that puppy's face right in his face. But never a nip, or bark, just happy playing! Super cute! Too bad our Dad is allergic, so we will probably never get one, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy other people's dogs, and Mom doesn't have to deal with the work of having a dog! Win-win!
