Happy Heart Day to You!

Happy Heart Day! This is what Jessica and I did last night. These little chocolate heart cookies turned out so cute. We made what seemed like hundreds of them. Jess put them in little cellophane bags to give to her friends today.




I think I eat my way from one holiday to the next. There is always another cute little treat to make....and eat.

Happy Birthday Matthew!

I'm really behind in posting some birthday pictures of Matthew! He turned 11 on January 12th. He had a really fun birthday. He got his first BB gun. Waaa hoo! This was against my wishes of course. But I decided to let boy stuff happen. Brock had everything to do with this gift. Matthew is so excited to go shoot it somewhere. So far he has shot the gun once in our backyard. Brock really needs to take him somewhere to shoot some cans.



Super yummy chocolate cake! Matthew's favorite.

Matthew is such a good-hearted kid. I love him to pieces.

I can't believe my boy will start middle school next year!

Breakfast Casserole Anyone?

Dear Bloggy Friends:

It is my turn to take breakfast to all of the youth seminary students. They get breakfast every Friday. It's a fun tradition for them. I'm wondering if any of you have a GREAT breakfast casserole recipe. Can any of you help me?

Blog to you soon,

Julie

Things that made me smile...

Last week was my best yet of the new year. Here is why I am smiling...

I no longer have a smokers cough! Yay! I am

finally getting better.

By Friday, I was actually singing in the kitchen.

This is something I have really missed!

Matthew participated in his last pinewood derby.

He and Brock worked so hard on his car.

Unfortunately, the car was too light

and it just wouldn't go very fast.

Matthew was a good sport.

No school on Friday!

It has been snowing in East Tennessee.

The kids were ecstatic and had a

great time sledding.

Church was cancelled on Sunday.

It was weird, but a nice break.

All of us prepared a talk or thought to share.

We had our own family service.

Friday was fun!

We rented "This is It"

Michael Jackson was such and incredible

musician and artist. I still have

a hard time realizing that he is gone.

It was a fun documentary.

Playing guitar hero and rock band

has been so fun!

My favorite rock band moment was

watching Benjamin play the guitar

and sing the back up to Mr. Roboto

"Secret, secret, I've got a secret."

It was so cute!

ok.......

enough smiling, I need to go

do some laundry!
