Well, today started out so fun!! Not really. Madison was suppose to dress up in her Halloween costume today for dance. Needless to say, she did not. She woke up in a horrible mood, and didn't want to do anything she was suppose to do. All she wanted to do was walk around the house crying. That always makes for a fun start to the day. So, we finally got her in her dance clothes, and she was off the dance.

After dance we went to lunch with Grandma, and Grandpa Burns at Red Robin in Provo. She was in a great mood at lunch, so I started talking to her about wearing her costume today to her preschool party.

Our lunch ran over of course, so when we got home we ran in the house and started getting ready. To my surprise she started putting on her costume. We had no problems. She even let me curl her hair up pretty, and put on her crown. I'm not going to be here for Halloween, so I really wanted to dress her up and take pictures of her at her party. Thankfully she was cooperating for me. We left quickly and off to school we went. Everyone was dressed and so cute. There were several other princesses at the party, so she went in and fell right in to place.

Here's Madison getting ready to leave the house for school.

This is what we did to her hair. She loved it.
She's totally happy now as you can see. She loves how cute she turned out. Worth the pain!!
Here she is at school with all her friends. All smiles...

It was a lot of work to get her to this point, but she made it. Dressed and all cute. It's a good thing there cute. Otherwise I don't know if all the trouble we go through for these things would be worth it....!! :)

Figuring it out!!

So for those few who saw my blog yesterday, it looks a lot different today. I'm figuring this whole thing out. I got me a great background. It adds a lot of character to the page. I've inserted more pictures. I'm just having fun playing around with all the new features. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to add other peoples blogs to mine. If you know what I'm talking about feel free to help me out. I'm completely confused about that part. Anyway, now all I need to do is start taking some pictures, so I have something to blog about...

Kaylee's Baptism

A few weeks ago we went to Vernal, UT for my nieces, and nephews baptism. It was quite an event to do 2 in one day. I felt like we were at the church all day. There were advantages though... we got feed by both families. That's always nice. But on a more serious note. It's always so fun to see how excited these little people are when they're getting baptized. I don't remember much from my own. I'd like to think that I was just as excited as Kaylee and Max were. Here are a few pictures from Kaylee's. I don't have any of Max's. Karen if your reading this send me some pictures so I can post him too.

Figuring out the whole Blog thing...

OK, so I'm new to this whole blogging thing. Please bare with me. I'm trying to learn all the In's and outs to it. It seems easy enough, but then I go to other peoples pages and they have the cutest back ground, fonts, lay outs, etc. I could go on. I don't even know where to start. It's a little over whelming, but I'm a fast learner. I'll be a pro in no time.

I have to say, it's been a lot of fun going through old pictures today. I think I'm really gonna enjoy doing this and keeping up with my family pictures and events. I think it will make me take more pictures. That's always a good thing for me since I'm terrible at remembering to take pictures. We shall see...!! :)

Red Barn Field Trip

I went with Madison to the Red Barn last week for her preschool field trip. It was a quick trip, but she had a blast. She got to go pick her own pumpkin from there patch. She was very particular about what kind of pumpkin she got. She was the last to finish, but she got the one she wanted.
Here she is posing for the camera. Is she cute or what....

Family Pictures

We went to Vernal a few weeks ago for my nieces baptism. While we we're there we decided to have some family pictures done. They turned out OK. I'm such a perfectionist. Oh course I see the flaws.
I was in a horrible mood. We had 2 baptisms that day, and by the time it got to this point, I'd had it. My kids we're on one all day. I guess I should be lucky they turned out as good as they did!! LOl

Field Trip with Taylors Class

A couple weeks ago, I went on a field trip with Taylor's class. We went to the Red Barn. The girls had lots of fun. Taylor ended up having all her BFF's with her in her group. We got to pick pumpkins from there pumpkin patch. And of course the girls had to pose in some pictures.

SMTM Venue with Danny Glover

With my Show me the Money business I have been able to do a few venues with Danny Glover. He not only endorses the Show me the Money system, but he also sells it to people. It was fun meeting him and working with him. This was down in Las Vegas back in August. Just another uneventful day at work.
