Tuesday night we had our Blue and Gold Banquet for cub scouts. It was so fun. The theme was Chinese New Year! Michael earned his Bear. It was quite an exciting night. John is the head of the dragon, I thought you might enjoy, it is funny.

Emily decorating a cake

It was cold on Saturday. Emiy was bored so she decorated a cake. She took a cake decorating class years ago with Brianna in Tooele. She still has her tips, decorating bags etc. So, she decorated a star cake. She got the idea from a book my mother gave her. She had fun and it was tasty also. The kids enjoyed having a slice after dinner on Saturday. Sophia now wants Emily to make her birthday cake this year.

Enjoy.

Love, Amber Anne

My kids are growing up!

I don't know when this happened but my kids are growing up. On a typical Friday night we would get a movie and pizza or do something outside if it is nice out. But, lately all of them have become so social. They all have busy social calendars. What? I don't enjoy this. I miss them. Emily has had several birthday parties to attend this month and Michael plays air soft with the teenage boys in the ward on the weekend. So, Emily now leaves to attend a mutual activity one night a week and then has plans for the weekend also. Sophia has a birthday party in the morning and Michael will soon be having baseball 3 nights a week. I guess I have no choice but to go with the flow.
John and Sophia are going to play guitar hero tonight, she is quite excited.

Spring is in the air and I am so excited. As most of my friends out there know next week is my big 40th birthday. Excitement is in the air.

Have a happy weekend. And Jenny Easter is almost here you are almost done!!! I sent you the picture in the mail today, email me when you get it.
Happy Friday to all.
Love, Amber Anne

Sophia having tea

I came upstairs the other day and found Sophia having a tea party with her cat, KeeKee. I had to grab my camera and take some video. It was so funny. Mom bought her this tea set in St George last month. She LOVES it, she has tea 2 or 3 times a day! Dad bought her this dress and she changes into it when she has really special tea parties. As you can see she is serving her cat hershey kisses. Enjoy!

Michael snowboarding lessons

Last week John took Michael to Powder Mountain for a snowboard lesson. He had a great time. He was exhausted when he got home! He was very sore the next morning. He wants to go again. Here are a few videos John shot.

EMILY BELL IS 12!!!



Emily turned 12 on Saturday. She had a great day. She went to the temple to do baptisms in the morning. She went to her brothers basketball game. She had 11 girls over for a friend party and then went out to dinner. We came home and she opened even more presents. She has enough lip gloss to last a year!
Grandma Patty bought her a new outfit to wear to church. She looked so pretty and grown up. She got new high heel black shoes that she has been practicing walking on for 2 days! The bishop introduced her as the newest YW and she told the congregation her favorite article of faith. She did a great job, she spoke slowly and loud enough for everyone to hear. Sophia kept waving to her, it was cute.
I have pictures I will post later today.
