my babies

i'm in love. seriously in love.

goodbye ali!

our beloved Ali had her last day this week. she is leaving for BYU in two weeks and had to finally break free from us! she has been our babysitter/nanny for the last two years. she started when jane was 1 1/2 years old so i could work out of my home. she even continued to watch the kids when we moved down here to talega. i knew she loved them when she decided to commute ! she came twice a week and was never a minute late! ali is top qulity! jane would stand by the window watching for her every tuesday and thursday. jane & henry adore her. they would go to the park, play puzzles, play-dough, and games. as she was leaving for the last time it was all i could do not to break down in tears. actually, i did cry before she even made it out of the driveway. i am so proud of her accomplishments and for the person that she is. i can only hope that jane will turn out like ali someday. she is the most mature 18 year-old i know! we were lucky to have her in our lives for so long. ali, you are like the little sister i never had. we love you more than you will ever know. thank you for every moment you spent with my kids. we will miss you too much!!!!!

Friends

my life

one of the reasons i am starting a blog is for my mother & father-in-law who have moved away to Utah. we were very sad when they left, and i know it's probably hard not being able to see the kids very often. so i thought this would be a nice thing so they could see the kids any time they wanted. we love you jeri & lou! i'm one of those mothers who is abosultely obsessed with my kids. head over heels. Jane is my tea-party girl. she insists on wearing dresses at all times and always asks for bows in her hair. Henry is my little hunny. he is manly and dirty, and eats sand.

Fuzzy don't be mad...

but, I know you are too busy, so I started your blog for you! I can't do it alone... the good news is you can delete this whole thing if you want, but, if you don't want to, you now have a blog... welcome to the cult! p.s. it's kinda fun!
