Hosting Thanksgiving

Ahhhhh I am hosting Thanksgiving, and I am sooooo nervous.
I keep seeing myself like Chevy Chase taking out a gorgeous turkey only to see it deflate before my eyes. Will let you know how it all turned out. :0)

Primary Program Oct 2010

Ariana participated in her first primary program!!! She was wonderful. She had her part memorized and didn't need any help when she got up there to give her part. I loved that when she got up all you saw was her hand raise up to pull down the microphone, and you couldn't even see her as you heard her little voice say " yo se que vive mi salvador". I made all the girls these flowers for their hair and I made the boys little boutonnieres. It was such a fun day. I loved how Ariana would dance while she was singing. Seriously she would dance during all the songs. Luckily she just danced in her spot. Below are some pics that we took before. She is in a stage right now where she loves to be silly, and make silly faces. This is a really fun age.

I'm a Big Boy Now!!

Viggo has been announcing every time that he goes pee and poo poo's. And when he is bathing he asks to be taken out to go potty all the time. Can you tell how proud he is. I am not going to take his pampers away till he turns two. And then there is no going back. But for now I just want him to have fun thinking that the potty is fun, and come April we go into potty boot camp mode. No going out for a straight week until we get it down. Or two or three depending on how this method works with boys :/ I don't do the whole pull up thing. My relief society president from agua fria Lili Quintero taught me you just take the pampers away. For the first couple of days you run around cleaning up after their accidents but by day three they are almost as good as gold. At least Ariana was. And by the end of the week you got yourself a potty trained kid. This worked great with Ariana but she is a girl. We will find how long potty training boot camp goes for Viggo.

Project #1

We moved into our new home and realized that we were tired of our huge Ikea corner desk. It just took up way to much room. So we went to goodwill and looked for an old desk that we could fix up. And this is what we found. I loved it!!! All it needed was a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware. I loved the storage space on the side of it that had sliding drawers.

Here is my little helper. While Viggo sleeps we get to work.

Here is a fresh coat of paint, and it's new hardware.

It looks really purple here, but in my room it looks perfect. I wanted a pop of color to go against my light grey furniture. Project #1 is officially done.
