Its been a while...

Life has been so busy for me lately and I have had to prioritize my time and energy. Sadly blogging has been cut for a while, but I am now going to attempt to quickly catch up and get everyone up to speed.
First of all... I have been so busy lately because back in the middle of October I started a part time job at Target. Why work and why Target?? Well I went back to work to help out at home for a bit to help us get ahead and prepare for the future- especially while Liane is young and we only have one child. And Target because it helps meet my two main criteria for a part time job... 1. it allows me to stay home with Liane still (I work the 4am-8:30am shift) and 2. it doesnt affect the fact that we have one car right now. I get home before Salomon needs to go to work. It really is perfect!! I LOVE my job and even though it has been a huge sacrifice on my sleep. It has truly been a blessing for us in more ways than one. My mom always says "whats a blessing for one is a blessing for all"... meaning God will not only bless you for doing what is right, but the others in your family as well. He wont bless you while the others suffer. It is so true!!

So onto the catching up!!

Liane's 3rd Birthday September 14, 2010

Princess party all the way! Liane has been into the Disney pricesses (esp Cinderella) for over a year now and so it would only be appropriate to celebrate princess style! Liane had a wonderful day (well bday week it turned out) and was spoiled by everyone who knows and loves her. Thank you all for making her big day so special!! Check out the way cool (but not professional by any means) cake I made her!! I totally just printed off the princess pics and castle onto paper and tapped a craft stick to the back to help it stand up in the cake. So easy and FUN!
Liane and her cousins hitting the two pinatas!

California Trip September 2010

When we got home from Montana we had a week before we left for California. We were so blessed this year to make a few trips as a family. We love traveling and getting away - so we had a wonderful time doing so this summer!! We worked hard for these trips and enjoyed every moment of them! Corona Del Mar - the Tide Pools

Ward Pool Party - August 2010

Each year our ward holds a pool party at night at the community pool across the street from our neighborhood. We took Liane this year thinking she would love to play in the water... um guess again. She wasnt a huge fan, but we had a good time anyway. Maybe next year right?

Bridal Veil Falls - August 2010 (Lilly's Birthday)

Stake Family Fun Day - July 2010

The Stake Family Fun Day at church is always fun! Lots of yummy food, cute games and rides for the kids. We thought Liane would enjoy this bouncy obstacle course, but well, she didnt. Poor kid. Other than that, she had fun :-)

Camping -June 2010

Back in June we went camping at Bear Lake with my family. This is the first time we have all camped together and with kids. It was a good, relaxing trip and the kids especially had a blast!

4th of July

This year we celebrated the forth of july on the 3rd since the 4th was on a Sunday. We went to the park and had a yummy bbq, played soccer and water balloon games and then went home to light a few fireworks. We had a great time celebrating together!

Let the games begin!

Liane LOVED the poppers...

and the sparklers!!

Girls Camp

I recently got called to be the First Counselor in the Young Womens presidency at church. I LOVE my calling! The young women are amazing and I am learning and growing so much just being around them and trying to progress like they are. Right after the new presidency was called, it was time to go to Girls Camp! I joined the church at 19 so I missed the whole young womens program and therefore never had the chance of attending camp. I was way excited to go (even though I had to be away from Salomon and Liane for 3 days which I have never done before). Heavenly Father blessed us to have a wonderful and safe trip, as well as blessed me to have handled the separation from my family very well. Looking forward to next years camp!
