Prom

Our Stake does a Prom for the Laurels and Priest. A few of Tiffani's friends that are turning 16 around the same time as her, got permission from their Bishop to go to the Prom. So their Young Women Leader, who is a good friend called and asked if we would like to see if Tiffani could get permission from our Bishop so that she could go with her friends. Our Bishop said that Tiffani could go to the Prom with her friends. She was so excited and surprised. She hadn't even asked if she could go, knowing that her friends had gotten permission, she had just figured that she would have to wait till next year. So I was so glad that my friend, had thought to ask if Tiffani could go with their ward because I know that Tiffani would have been sad that her friends had been able to go and she didn't.
Right before prom, we got a little worried that Tiffani might not be able to make it because on Tuesday she started not feeling very well, by Wednesday she had started running a fever. I took her to the Doctor and she had the Flu, type A. So they put her on Tamflu and she was feeling much better to go to the dance on Friday.

So here is Tiffani with her friends. There were 13 of them, they had dinner at Maria's House(YWP) and we took pictures of them there. They are such a great group of kids and a lot fun.

Getting read to leave in the limo that they rented. From here they went to the dance then the went to a bounce house that they Stake had rented for the kids to go to after wards. Then they went to one of the kids house for games, movies and breakfast.
Inside the Limo. What fun memories.

Valentine's Day

I love this day!!! Mike is a wonderful husband and a thoughtful father. He bought a dozen red roses and he gave one to each of the girls and the other 8 were mine. He takes such good care of us and wants all of us to feel special. I got the girls the cutest socks for Valentine's Day. Here are Ashley and Kylie at their class parties. I wish I would have taken a picture of the flowers they were so pretty but I forgot.

This is Randy, he is in Kylie's class and he calls Kylie "the boss" because she always knows what to do and he likes her to help him.

Scripture Treasure Hunt

I found this great idea for helping to motivate the kids in reading their scriptures. It is on the Primary Group Page, if your interested I can give you the site to find it. Anyways the girls have a map for each section of the Book of Mormon when they finish a chapter they color a space on the map. When they finish the whole section like 1 Nephi they get a clue and a treasure box. Then when the finish 2 Nephi they get a jewel with a letter on it to put in their treasure box. So at the end they will have to figure out the special word that they are scripture hunting for with all the letters on the jewels.
These are our treasure boxes we made. The girls are doing such a great job in reading their scriptures. Ashley or Courtney will take time to read with Kylie if I am a little busy with studying. This has been a great success with our family. We are still working on our Morning Scripture Studying as Tiffani as to be to Seminary at 6:30 some days are better then others as Ashley and Kylie are the alarm clocks. They are the best in getting up and making sure everyone is ready to read, if they don't get up we just don't seem to make it. I am so proud of my children and the choices that they make and how they try to do the right things. I feel very blessed to have such 4 beautiful and happy girls. (Tiffani, left before I could get her in the picture.)

Where Have I Been Lately and My Allergic Reaction

I know I haven't been blogging lately just been busy with the Girls and School. I had my first A&P test for class and my first practical for lab. On my test for lecture, I got a 97 and I am still waiting on my Practical score. I also had to take this PSB test two weeks ago. My teacher was sick today, so here I am catching up with all the busy stuff we have been doing.

For Mike's Birthday we went out to dinner with some friends. Mike and I went to a movie and saw "Fool's Gold" a cute romantic movie. On our way home we stopped at the grocery store and then to Walmart to return one of the gifts Kylie got for her Birthday because it was broken. As I am walking into Walmart my eyes start itching, before long my whole body is itchy, I get to the car and tell Mike we need to hurry home cause I am just so itchy. We get home and my eyes are swelling and I have hives on my body and then my lips start tingling. Mike gives me a Benadryl to help, and then precedes to take me to the Hospital. By the time we get there the Benadryl has kicked in and I am no longer itching, but my eyes especially the Left eye is swollen pretty good. I convince Mike to take me home thinking that by the morning all should be well. Not true, my left eye is pretty much swollen shut. I know this picture isn't that great but here is what my eye looked like a couple hours after going to the Doctor and telling me that I must have had an allergic reaction to something and to take Benadryl and Claritin to help. Who knows what I had a reaction to but I hope it never happens again.
