{Back To School and a few other things:)


The many faces of my picture hating children this year:)


I can hardly believe how big they are getting... for some reason they all followed K2 with this one funny kids!


then this is starting.....


 they won their first game and my boy is on fire this year:)
-----------------------------------

I also found I had a little more quiet time this week ha ha and actually
finished this mirror project that has been waiting for me......it was an awesome $2 find at a garage sale... I forgot to do the before but it was a gold color love how it turned out!
excuse how weird I look in this picture my eyes look like they are squished together ha ha

and now working on this sweet excited little girls big day tomorrow here's a teaser :) Now I really can't believe she is 8 years old!!! My awesome neighbor Rhonda Steed shot a few fast ones of her last night and there are a few definite keepers! So till tomorrow:)
Here's a sassy one;)

Overheard this morning
I told K2 to make his bed and say his prayers because I tell all the kids that everyday......not really thinking I told K2 that and he goes in his room and the next thing I hear is::

Heavenly Father...
have good day..
jesus amen

Melt my heart, my attitude and make my day
 I love that boy he is such an example to all of us at such a young age!

Favorite Quote this week

"You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, but with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities. 
Gordon B. Hinckley
Have a great weekend:)

ok, this might be weird but Mason has super great teeth (you know for being in grade 1 and in the "awkward" teeth stage!)
the mirror is just beautiful! Great job.
I love the picture of L too. So exciting for her to be 8!

K2's prayer made me tear up. Those moments make all the hard, dirty work of being a mom so worth it!

Wow Christal! Your blog is such a BOOST! I've missed blog hopping around, I need to get back with it! I love all the quotes you share and all the fun things you do with your family. You have such good kids, they all have such shining eyes and I know they are going to be good teenagers.
