Thanks For The Chopsticks Nana!

Nana just got back from her trip to Japan... and in the tradition of vacation gift giving, she gave us chopsticks. And of course the kids wanted to run home and try them out.

Too much Fun!

Front Page News!

The kids and I decided it would be fun to fly kites on Sunday.

The weather was (if possible) too windy, but they enjoyed it. And a bonus! There was a lady from the Deseret News there taking pictures... Sure enough I pulled out the paper today and there is Destiny, on the cover no less. It must be good to be that cute!

The caption says

"Send it Soaring. Above, 8-year-old Destiny Rowe of West Valley catches the wind as he lifts her kite up at Sugarhouse Park on Sunday."

Too cool!

Getting old...Sucks for you and your pet!

We saw this as we were leaving the park on Sunday, and I just had to share.

I have to give the guy kudos for getting the poor dog it's exercise, but SERIOUSLY!?!

My little girl is growing up!

Destiny was so excited to preform in the talent show at her school! I am very proud of her I just can't believe how fast things fly by. She has been taking piano lessons for 3-4 months now and she finds time to practice even in our loud household. I might be a little biased, but i think she did the best in the whole school! And a big thanks to aunt Kirsten for the lessons!

The BIG 30!

That's right... I'm turning the big 30!

And what better way to celebrate getting older then doing something that makes you feel young again. Thanks to grandma and grandpa Wilkey Destiny, Dylan, and I got to go to Disney on Ice. We had a blast! It's always fun to see things come to life that way, and the "characters" are surprisingly good figure skaters in spite of the costumes. Because Jeff had to work that night I took a bunch of pictures and couldn't decide which ones to post, so please be patient with the long slide show.

Dylan's new room!

Home improvements are non stop at my house, and as much as we try I find it hard to finish everything. Dylan's room has been neglected for the last 9 years, so i decided to try and tackle it myself.

Before.....

After.....

I am very proud of how it turned out! And I did it all on my own ( except of course for hanging the shelf and the chair rail...those big power tools scare me a little.)

Dylan even got to go to the store and pick the paint. The best part...

The black is chalkboard paint, it must be un to be a kid!
