Playdate

2012-02-13T21:22:00.000-08:00

Steph, Kim and Whitney got together this afternoon to work on some crafts so I hopped over after work to spend time with all of them and take some cute pics of the boys! They crack me up... they bring pure joy and delight to my heart.

Busy Weekend

2012-02-12T19:58:00.000-08:00

Well I feel very productive, my cousin Lori and I did some baking from some sweet things we found on pinterest, I made some homemade Valentine cards and thing that took up my entire weekend was organizing years of pictures that were being stored in photo boxes and put neatly into photo albums. I seriously have a picture taking addiction! I had soo many pictures. I knew I wanted to accomplish this task so Kim got be 3 large ablbums for my birthday and I knew that was not going to be enough so George bought me another one. I have an album for each family and I also did one for Whitney and Logan. Feels soo good to have them all organzined and once I depart from this earthly life ( which hopefully we will be ways off)... the kids can have their pictures all organized.

These little goodies are brownies with peanut butter and choc chips

Lori made this Reeses peanut butter cup Banana bread

Some home made cards for Valentines

I took 4 boxes of these..................................

And organized them into these..............................!! Feels good.

January Winter White

2012-01-23T19:49:00.000-08:00

One of the things I love best about our towns is the beautiful four seasons that we have, we had a nice snow fall the other day and I was able to get a few pics, it would have been so much prettier if there was still snow on the trees... but we are having a bit of a warm streak and sadly it is already melting. I love it when it snows... just so pretty , white and pure.

Happy Birthday to Me.....

Goodbye 2011

2012-01-01T20:38:00.000-08:00

It's always fun to look back on the year before we begin a new one, so here is a look back at 2011.

In January we learned that our 3 oldest daughters were all going to have babies at the same time... and yes they were all crying when this picture was taken.

February was Valentines, Kylah had a fun class party

March was Stephanies Birthday and also Melanie and her family moved to NC :( A very sad day and month for us! But Ashley got a good job and this was a great opportunity for them. Sigh!

April was Easter and my sister made these darling eggs

May was Mothers Day and 2 mommies to be were celebrating their first Mothers Day

June was Fathers day...Steph and her dad

July was busy, 4th of July, Showers for Steph and kim and our Strings group played at our first wedding.

August was busy as well.. George and I flew to NC to be with Melanie when she had her baby, Georgia Ann was born August 13th, we stayed for 10 days and had a blast. The day before we got home Stephanie gave birth to Jaxon on August 20th, ( I totally forgot to upload his birth picture....sorry Steph... he is down at the bottom for some other pics.)

Sept 5th Kim gave birth to Brayden Benjamin Burt. Such a Sweet gentle little boy.

George, Logan and I took a vacation to Glacier National park...beautiful.

Here is baby Jaxon with his first Halloween shirt on.

November..we had Thanksgiving over at Steph and Bretts house..Yummy!

Jaxon with his First Thanksgiving shirt on.

December was joyous and fun with new babies, Melanie sent me some pics of the girls celebrating Christmas in SC ( they moved in Oct). We had Christmas eve dinner over at Kim and Bens and then exchanged gifts. It was a beautiful evening.

There were soo many more pictures to post and so many other things we did, we also learned this year that we are going to be grandparents again in May, Whitney is going to be a mama too.... so we are excited to have another grandbaby in the family. We have han an amazing year, some ups and downs, we miss Melanie, Ashley, Maddy, Ky, and Georgia like crazy. We are hoping to spend lots of time with them this summer. We have had so many fun times with the babies, what a blessing they have been to our family and to our daughters, the Lord has surely blessed them all . We are thankful for good health, good jobs and great kids. So now we look forward to 2012, a new baby, new adventures and spending lots of time with family.

The Babies say....

Christmas with the Cunninghams

2011-12-25T19:15:00.000-08:00

This whole month of December has been so fun for me, I have enjoyed everthing about this Holiday season, for gifts this year all of us girls did homemade gifts and that was so much fun. We had fun taking the babies to see Santa, everything was just wonderful. We gathered over at Kim and Bens for Christmas eve dinner, we exchanged gifts, had good food and took tons of pictures, that is why I did a smile box...just to many pics to post. Love my family!!

2011-12-11T22:37:00.000-08:00

I Love Christmas

I Love the Christmas season, the lights, the music, the food, the parties, family, and especially focusing on our Savior Jesus Christ and the celebration of his birth.

You're A Mean One....

2011-11-28T21:13:00.000-08:00

MR. GRINCH.... the Christmas season has offically begun because tonight "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was on... I was wondering what I was going to watch since Dancing with the Stars is over and I was pleasently surprised to see Ole Mr Grinch on. This is my all time Favorite Christmas show... I have loved it ever since I was a little girl and I have wathced it faithfully every year. When the children came along we all watched it together, when Madyson and kylah came along, we made a night of it with popcorn blankets, and cuddles with grandma. It just brings very special memories for me. I love you Mr Grinch!

Oh he's a mean one plotting his evil doings

and the People of Whoville have no idea what is lurking on that Mountain

Little Cindy Lou Who...watching the Grinch take all their stuff

The Grinch cannot ruin the Chirstmas spirit of Whoville.

Is Mr Grinch having thoughts of niceness and kindness??

And here is is heart growing and soon he spends Christmas with Whoville.

Love this show... Rudolph and Santa Claus is coming to town are not bad either.

Lets Talk Turkey!

2011-11-25T21:11:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving over at Steph and Bretts house this year,Stephanie did a great job with the Turkey, everyone brought side dishes and there was an abundance of food. We are very blessed. Jaxon is 3 months old now, and he is the funniest baby, we had the best laugh ever getting the 2 boys together for pictures. WE have soo many things to be thankful for, the Lord has surely blessed us.

I love this time of the year, the colors of the leaves are breath taking, the smell of wood burining in a fire place or wood stove is one of my favorite smells,seeing homes decoarted for Halloween or Autumn is fun and going down to Sherman Square to see all the different scarecrows is one of my favorite things to do. So thankful to live in this part of the country where we can be a witness to this beauty.

After a very fun day at Greenbluff we headed back to Spoakne for Pig out in the Park... it is an annual thing they do every year....hundreds of different food vendors, ice cream, snowcones, elaphant ears and tons and tons of people... to many people today. I could not even take any pics there....too many people..but our elephant ear was delicious. A very good day.

The wheat fields by Greenbluff were beautiful

Well as many of you know, I Have 3 daughters that were all expecting around the same time... George and I flew to NC last week to be with Melanie as she was having her baby, Steph was due the 21st the day we were to come home so I thought for sure I would make it home in time for her birth but the baby had other ideas. She went in to labor on the 20th and at 5:30 in the afternoon she delivered a healthy 8lb 6ounce baby boy that they have named Jaxon Jimmer Fromm. He is pure sweetness, I am so glad that my sister, and my other two daughters were able to be with her. Now we are just waiting on daughter #3 to have her baby the first part of September. We are so blessed and have just fallen in love over and over again.

First Family Picture

Melanie was induced at 7 a.m. on the 13th, she did really well until she got to about 6 cm and because she was confined to the bed and could not get in the tub she suffered some painful contractions that were basically on top of each other. She had an epidural and was able to have a wonderful pain free delivery. Brenda ( Ashleys mom) and I were able to go in right when she delivered so that was a very special experience. Georgia is beautiful and I am so happy that I was able to be here in North Carolina to celebrate this special day.

2011-07-16T20:09:00.001-07:00

Today was absolutely beautiful...George and I went to the Farmers Markert and then hit some really good (baby) yard sells... then Kim, Whitney and I went to Cold Stone for a nice treat and then Whitney and I came home and made bread in her new bread machine ( new to her/good deal at yard sell). Perfect day!
Love These Girls

Steph's Baby Shower

2011-07-09T21:39:00.000-07:00

It was a beautiful day for Steph's baby shower, we had it at a park in Spokane....lets just say Baby Jaxon is going to be one well dressed and loved baby boy. We can't wait to meet him and hold him and kiss him all over!

Our 4th of July Weekend.

2011-07-06T22:28:00.000-07:00

I could not have asked for a more PERFECT Holiday weekend...the weather was gorgeous, I just could not get enough of the warm weather. Monday my sister and I along with Danny and Kimberly all went to watch the parade which was amazing...I loved every minute of it. After the parade we headed down the beach and I think just about everyone else in town had the same idea because it was packed but that is alright....we put our chairs in the water and we were sun worshipers for 3 glorious hours! I got quite the sunburn but no complaining here ,,, I needed that sun. Later that day we had a bar-b-q over at Cheryls house, my cousin Lori and her family came, Kim and Ben brought Ben's mom which was also her birthday so double celebration for her. We ate tons of good food... Danny did an amazing job on the Bar-b-q. I had good intentions of going down to the lake and watch fireworks but the SUN did me in and I was in bed by 8:30. I LOVE the 4th of July and I LOVE my country.

Dr.Hardy and Steph

2011-06-30T18:57:00.000-07:00

I had the day off today so I was able to go to the a Dr. appt with Steph, Our family LOVES Dr. Hardy. He is so sweet and sincere and careing and treats every patient like they are the most important pregnant girl on the Earth. His beside manner is top notch, he takes time to listen to his patients, lets them ask questions and it just so sweet and gentle. He was so wonderful and loving with everything that Steph and Brett went thru last year with Annabelle, we just love him and are so glad Steph has such a good Dr. for baby Fromm!

Happy "Fry"day

2011-06-17T18:23:00.000-07:00

I made these cute little fry boxes for the girls at work toady..the fries are made out of sugar cookie dough.. and the fry box is an actual McDonalds fry box that I took apart and then traced it on printed cardstock. The girls loved them and it was a nice way to end a busy week.

Moving on Up....to the 6th grade

2011-06-12T20:58:00.000-07:00

When Melanie, Ashley, Maddy and Ky moved to NC back in March we knew it was going to be hard for us to be so far apart... we have missed them and things they have been involved in. This past week Maddy graduated from the 5th grade and in the fall will be in Jr. High. I have to admitt when I saw these pictures on FB I cried like a baby, we have been with the girls for all their school activities and everything they have been involved so this was very hard for me to not be there when she had a little graduation. I have to accept the fact that my children are going to have lives of their own and move away, I just have to say thank goodness for FB, Blogs and skype.

Grandma Brenda and Maddy

Something I've always wanted to do....

Learn to play the Cello

So one of the girls in our String's group mentioned to me that her sister had several Cellos and would sell me one. I was thrilled .So she brought me this cello last night at Strings and Imust say I am so excited to learn to play...I am thinking I need to take lessons instead of trying to teach myself.

Today was PayDay and I made these cute little goodies for the girls at work.

Happy Friday

It was a fabulous weekend and it started off with the Royal wedding Friday Morning, I woke up at 5:44 just in time to see William and Kate come out on the balcony for their first kiss...I did record the entire wedding but didn't have time to watch it that morning...when I got to work all the girls in scheduling were gathered around one of the girls computers watching clips of the wedding. I loved the entire thing, I think they are soo cute together and I love her dress and just how beautiful her and her sister were. William was adorable too. The whole thing was pure lovliness.

We had a family dinner tonight over at Stephs, it was a year ago today that Annabelle was born so are thoughts have been about her today, so thankful that all 3 girls are having healthy pregnanices and the babies are growing well and that we will have some cute little boys coming to hold and cuddle.

Happy Birthday Relief Society

2011-03-18T21:26:00.001-07:00

Tonight in my ward here in CD'A we had a very nice and fun gathering to celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society, for those of you who read my blog and are not members of my church, the Relief Society is the largest womens organization in the world. It is celebrating 169 years of service to many women, men and families. No matter where you go in the world, you can walk into any LDS church and you will be welcomed by the Relief Society. I have had the opportunity to serve in the Relief Society and it has truely blessed my life. I have the best girlfriends ever that I have met in Relief Society, I have see the program bless so many families and womens lives. So below are some pictures from our little gathering to celebrate the RS's birthday.

These four women have all been Relief Society Presidents.

George and Teri's excellent Adventure

2011-03-15T20:10:00.000-07:00

George and Teri have hereby been called by the Coeur d'Alene Stake to serve for 18 months in the Plummer branch in the Coeur d' Alene Stake...sounds kind of official doesn't it? Actually we were called by the Stake President to attend the Plummer branch for 18 months and help build up the branch. It is in sorts a mini mission. Plummer is about 35 miles from our home and there are about 70 members down there. We are are very excited and our first Sunday there we were welcomed with warm loving arms. I think it is going to be a great 18 months and I am anxious to serve the people of Plummer Id.

Miss Maddy

2011-03-06T21:27:00.000-08:00

I totally forgot to add this picture of Madyson to my previous post, she is a sweetheart and so smart, she is a straight A student and wants to go to Harvard some day. Today Madyson ,Kylah and their parents left Idaho and are on their way to North Carolina where they will start a new adventure in their life. I am going to miss them so much and I have to say it has been a very emotional day for me. I won't see them until August when Melanie has her baby. I look forward to that day. Until then we will sype and text and talk on the phone alot. Pictures of the girls will come from their mother! Hoping to still include them in our family blog.

Girls weekend with Whitney

2011-03-06T20:09:00.000-08:00

All of us girls (minus Melanie..she was having dental work done) drove down to Moscow Friday after the girls got out of school, We had lots of fun and Whitney was so excited for us to come down and spend time with her. All in attendance were me, Cheryl, Steph, Kim, Maddy and Ky.

More baby stuff!

2011-02-26T21:19:00.000-08:00

We had another family dinner tonight and Steph was able to come this time so while she was here we did the pencil test on her too... according to the pencil she is having a girl... so that is 2 girls and one boy but we will find out for sure when they have ultrasounds.

Sunday Fun

2011-02-21T20:40:00.000-08:00

The girls ( minus Steph) came over for dinner on Sunday and after dinner we decided to do the "Pencil Test"..an old fashioned way of finding out the gender of the baby... You stick a needle with thread in the eraser of the pencil and hold it over the wrist of the expecting mom..if it goes up and down it is a boy...back and forth it is a girl..so according to our pencil test Kim is having a boy and Melanie is having a girl! We have yet to do it on Steph.. we will see how correct it is when they have their ultrasounds to find out the sex of the babies! It feels soo good to say babies...yes we are having babies!! Stay tuned for the real sex of the babies!!

Valentines Day

2011-02-15T21:17:00.000-08:00

Valentines Day..the day we profess our love to our loved ones with surgary cookies, homemade cards or store bought, lots of chocolate, a nice dinner out if were lucky and small gifts of love. Because I had to work I missed out on Maddy and Ky's party at school so I took a few pictures at their house. I did make some yummy cookies and brownie bites...George and I had a fun date...scroll down to the bottom to read about that.

Maddy and Ethan have been best friends since kindergarten These are Mississippi Mud Brownies in cupcake liners and they were great.

Decorating cookies.....always fun.

The Girls with their Valentines
George got me these beautiful Roses

This year for Valentines Day I wanted to do something different so I had Whitney put 4 random letters in a bag and after work we drove to ShopKo..In the car we picked two letters each and the rule was that we had to buy some gift's that started with those letters for each other and our budget was $25 each. My letters were T and O.. these are the items I bought for George, A T-shirt, a throw for his den and a Ocean scent diffuser for his den.. and everything was on clearance....I also thru in the Movie Somewhere in Time because it was only $5 and he LOVES the music from that movie.... SO George's letters were L and C... there are no pictures from his letters because he bought me a really cute lingere set but it was very much the WRONG size... has he not noticed that I have been working out the past 6 weeks and have lost weight and many inches???? He bought EXTRA large! I asked him if he noticed they were EXTRA LARGE and he honestly told me he did not notice... and then for his letter C he bought me Candy which I am not Eating at all... so I feel he tried but kind of missed the mark.. we did have fun passing each other in the store and trying to be secretive but I will be taking my things back and getting myself something that fits!!

I don't know whether to cry or shout for Joy

2011-02-06T19:58:00.000-08:00

Logan has flown the coop, left the nest, movin on,...in plain and simple words, Logan has moved into his own house with his friend Cody. He is only 1/2 a mile or so from home but it is hard to realize that George and I are now true Empty Nester and you know it is kind of sad! I am happy for Logan and Cody and am hoping that they will be responsible have a great experience of learning to live on their own. It is just wierd to have NO kids here.... not sure I am likeing it all that much!! But that is part of being parents..raising good kids, teaching them to be responsible, kind, thoughtful, helpful adults and I can proudly say that those word represnt all my kids. I am very proud of them and LOVE them soo much.
So here is Logan and Cody's new home...needs some work but it is perfect for the two of them.

Logan is going to be a great chef!

Cody and Logan

My last born, now an Adult on his own.

2011-01-22T21:00:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday the family gathered over at Kim and Bens for my birthday dinner, little did I know I was going to get the best birthday present ever! When we walked thru the front door there was a Surprise Banner and underneath it was a POSITIVE pregnacy test that was blown up with the word " Were pregnant" unerneath the banner and then 4 little ultra sound pictures.. Well you can imagine my surprise and and I just started yelling and screaming. We are sooo happy for Kim and Ben.. and then Steph and Brett arrive and after the shock settled down, Melanie mentioned how wonderful it would be if Steph was pregnant too... there stood Steph with her arms folded and a BIG smile on her face and she too is pregnant... this means all 3 of my daughters are PREGNANT and all due the same TIME! How wonderful is that? I could not be a happier mom!

2010 in Review

2011-01-03T22:14:00.000-08:00

This past year has been a great year, we have had joy, sorrow, a lot of fun family activities. Logan got to go to Alaska (no pics for that trip), Kim and Ben bought a new house, Melanie, Ash, Maddy and Kylah moved back to Idaho from Hawaii, Steph got a job teaching Kindergarten, Whitney moved out and is going to school In Moscow ID, Teri got a new job and George took over another lab in Spokane. We are excited to see what 2011 brings to us.

In January it was mine and my Brother Ken's birthdays.

In February The Bennett family moved back to Id from Hawaii
In March Steph's friends thru her a surprise "Princess Party" for her birthday
In April me and the girls spent Easter with Kim when she lived in Wenatchee and I was also able to buy a new camera, a Nikon D 5000 which I had saved up for. May was a month of sadness and happiness.. the family all gathered together to be with Steph and Brett as they welcomed a sweet baby girl who came to this earth for a body and then returned to be with her Heavenly Father, this was a sweet and tender day for the whole family. Mother's day also was celebrated for us moms.. it was a difficult day for Steph but she was amazing and got thru it with the love and support from her family. I adore my family, I have been blessed to be thier mom.
In June Logan graduated from High School.
In July we celebrated our Country's birthday, I completely refinished a baby grand piano and Steph and I spent 4 glorious days in Leavenworth WA with Maddy , Makenna and Kyra
IN August we went on a Family camp out and Maddy turned 10 September Maddy entered the 5th grade, Kylah in the 2nd grade, and Logan and Melanie had birthdays
I totally forgot to upload October..we had a really fun month, fall was gorgeous, we went to a church Halloween party, we also went up to Scarywood which was freezing but fun, and then me and my sister and my girls went to a haunted house here in town called House of Horrors which was really fun... SOOO IN November, Kim and Ben bought a house here in CD'A, Kylah turned 8 and we had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Melanies house. George , Logan and I also drove down to Calif for a memorial for his mother who passed away in Oct.
In December George and I had our 32nd wedding anniversary.
And we celebrated a joyous Christmas Season with friends and family.
So all in all this has been a great year, I think the thing I loved the most was that I had the whole year off from work, I babysat Maddy and Ky and one other little girl during the summer and we had so much fun, I really enjoyed staying home but now I have a new adventure in my life with a new job at Kootenai outpatient Imaging. I look forward to this new job and new experiences.

Breakfast with Santa

2010-12-16T10:28:00.001-08:00

This morning at Kylah's school they held a breakfast with Santa for K-3rd grade. It was sweet, Santa sat in a rocking chair and read a book to the children that were gathered around him and then he was patient as children climbed on his lap for a picture. Then the kids had a little breakfast served by Santa helpers ( 5th graders).
Santa and Kylah

Every child got a new book.
