I know, it's been forever, but I finally sort of have a minute to add some new pictures. I wish this was easier! We are doing well finally after having several of us sick. I'm actually happy to say that January and February have flown by. I've kept myself busy with sewing projects and just recently painting projects. I've been planning our trip to Disneyland! We leave on the 25th!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!
As the kids get older I realize just how lucky I am to be a stay at home mom! I am constantly driving them all over the place. We were really busy for awhile with both Madi and Parker in basketball, Madi and Savannah in dance, Madi and Ashley in piano, and let's not forget....Scouts, Activity Days, Young Women's, Preschool....oh, and Ashley has early morning Math, and Parker has after-school reading class too! Madi and Ashley are both starting Volleyball this week and Madi will be trying out for the traveling basketball team. It's not going to slow down for awhile.
I'm still the Activity Day Leader and the pianist in Relief Society. Nate is still the Young Men President. We are busy but happy.
I had to post this picture of Parker because he has watched me sew doll clothes all winter. Well, he must have felt left out because he begged me to make some for him. I let him pick out the material and so I made his doll a pair of Utah Ute pajamas. If think it's sweet. (Don't tell him I told you, he's embarrassed)
Our house is always a party around the holidays. Madi and Ashley begged me to let them have a Valentine's Party. We had 17 girls here! I should have had Savannah and her friend Ellie in the picture too. So.... if you count them and myself, that was 20. Nate and Parker didn't want to have any part of it so they went to the Boat Show in Sandy and then to a BYU basketball instead.
Food
Dancing
More Dancing. I pretty much let them plan all the games. I helped with a few but I pretty much let them do what they wanted. These girls have ideas and know how to have fun. They played hide in go seek in the dark for a good share of the time.
I thought it was cute how most of them wore pink or red!
Crazy!!!!
Parker's talked his dad into buying him Cosmo?!? Which is it guys? BYU or Utah? (look at his p.j.'s!)
Parker shooting the ball.
Getting advice from Dad at half time.
Dribbling.
Madi's team won the Championship game! Madi's #24. I took video and forgot to take more pictures. Dumb. We were so proud of them. She's doing well and scoring every game. She made 6 points in the championship game. That's a lot considering they only score between 12 to 24 points the whole game.
Savannah's enjoying her American Girl Doll, Ella. They were exercising in this picture.
Our yellow playroom was fun, bright, warm and hammered. The pictures don't show it, but these walls were drawn on, had holes in them etc. Our Ace had my favorite Benjamin Moore paint on sale for 75% off and I knew I had to paint.
So here's what it looks like now!!!!! We used mom's Bennington Gray (really tan) and turned it into Parker's new room. He's thrilled to have a bigger bedroom and two closets now!
Here's Parker's old room. He picked out this beautiful blue color for it. But, we decided to let him move into the playroom. Now, I need to decide if I should move Ashley in here (she loves blue and green) and let Savannah have Ashley's pink room or should I use it for my sewing/playroom or do I use Savannah's room upstairs for my sewing room (Savannah sleeps downstairs anyway)? We're still undecided so it may just stay empty for a while.
I kind of like the empty look for now. Anyway, yeah! I posted! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I sure love you all! Have a great week!

Wow it has been awhile. It's so great to read what you guys are up too. The room remodels look great, and I'm so impressed your taking on sewing projects too on top of running around with all the kids are involved in. I'm so excited for your guys' trip to DL! Make sure you don't lose your camera, we'll want a post about the trip for sure.
Good job posting Jenny. It looks like you guys have been busy. Parker's room looks great; that is so nice to have options with what to do with extra rooms. I miss your kids; they are so cute and are sure growing up. it looks like the Valentines Party was a hit...so fun!!
Such a fun post! You guys are BUSY! It looks like the party was a lot of fun. You are such a cool Mom! The painted rooms look really good. I really like the blue in Parker's old room. Have fun in Disneyland! Hopefully the weather will be great for you!
Oh, what to do with so many rooms! I think I would get lost in such a big house. I think my children are always about 2 feet from me :)
You are such a fun mom. It's great that you have the party house. I want that some day. Parker is looking grown-up to me. I can't wait to see you at the wedding!
I'm so slow! I'm sorry. Thanks for posting! I really love to see what everyone is doing. Madi's party looks so fun!! I'm glad you love being a stay at home mom--That's a funny word for it huh! You are always on the go and your kids are having lots of fun with sports etc. etc. Parkers room looks great so does his old one.
