Creative Crayon Bead Toppers

This is what my 8 year old daughter left on my bathroom counter today.  Pretty and creative, but this is how the house always feels like a mess too.  Someday I will miss these little messes.

My kids are growing stalactites/stalagmites after watching a Bill Nye DVD on caves.  This is only about 8 hours after we started; impressive!

Saturday Sept 17

Our 'Girls Gone Wild' team of 'zebras' post race.  Our stripes are nearly disguised.  Sure was fun!

Color Me Mine

Sept 15; Heidi and I took the kids to paint ceramics. Very fun!

This is Maddie in her bed upstairs.  Our family sleeps downstairs all summer since it's cooler and quieter and darker there, but tonight we all moved back into our upstairs rooms and beds.

Bryce and Shannon's wedding

One of those times I wish I'd had the good camera instead of the little waterproof one.  A very lovely wedding by the lake and sunset on the mountains.

Mark's birthday candles

Birthday cake my mom made for my youngest brother's birthday celebration.  She asked, "Can you believe he's 28?!"  Um, yes, Mom, I can believe he's 28 just fine; as long as I don't do the math that means I'm 35!

Okay, so I've been a slacker.  It was Valentine's Day and then my birthday. These are the flowers some girlfriends gave to me yesterday morning.  I was showered with little gifts all day long and felt so very loved.  What a wonderful birthday it's been!

I'm sharing this one because it made me laugh to see my 4 year old son looking so troll-like.

Got my challenge ingredients from Chip!  I can't wait to cook with this stuff- plus some fresh ground lemongrass.

This is what you get when you really let the 4 year old tell you what they want for lunch.  Mint-chocolate chip ice cream with pretzels and caramel sauce.  It was delicious!

The mountains in my backyard.  How lucky am I?  I wish I had taken the photo first thing this morning.  As the sun rose behind them, you could see the wind blowing the snow around on the top.

I thought it would be fun to help my daughter with her school Valentines.  She wanted nothing to do with it though, and truth be told, I rather enjoyed doing them myself.  These are the 'candy rings' I made for the girls.  The note says A ring for your finger is oh so sweet, Even more so when it's a Valentine's treat!

That amarylis bulb I started this blog with has come into full bloom today.  Beautiful! And it has 2 or 3 sister flowers coming up next.

Febrary 4th 2011

Madeline with some of her 2nd grade classmates at Weber State University's Chinese New Year's celebration.  Madeline's class performed several skits and songs.  She was so nervous before we got there, but in the end, really enjoyed being on stage with her friends.

Our 'Iverson Family Schedule' posted on the 'fridge.
It includes meal plans, daily chores (for mom), exercise schedule (for mom and dad), and the activities that are scheduled for every week.  I also put the daily schedule on the white board.  This is really helpful to my 4 year old who does much better if he knows what is planned for the day.

Our amaryllis bulb is getting plump!
