I took the older two kids to the eye doctor today. They both need glasses! Poor Taylor has 20/50 vision and astigmatism. He told us that if she were 16 going in to get her drivers license she would not pass the vision part. Trevor has a very "hard" astigmatism and we are to watch him for my dads eye disease...poor kid. They should get their glasses tomorrow, I'll post pictures when we actually get them.

Christmas (better late than never)

On Christmas Eve, we went to Shaun's parent's house

Jim read the birth of Christ from the scriptures as we all

reenacted the story.

Taylor was on of the angels and Trevor was the star.

(We only had 10 minutes to go through the house to fine costumes, this is the

best I came up with)

My Grandpa Bellows sent us some money for the kids a Christmas gift.

I found a Sesame Street fold up town.

Eli loved the box, as usual...

Pictures of the Bathroom...finally!

I did the hall/kids bathroom a month ago now. It has turned out

very nice. In my opinion. We hope to update the vanity

and counter top this spring. I don't want to pain another bathroom!!

I think its the hardest room in the house to paint, and I have one more to do

and its the big one.

Bathroom

I redecorated our Hall bathroom with weekend. I am very happy with the way it all turned out, its still fun for the kids but elegant for guests. I'll post pictures soon. Ignore the counter tops, they will hopefully be changed this spring. Yea for tax returns, it all goes back into the house.

Graduation!!!

Shaun Graduated from BYU-I on Friday night!!!

After many years, test, papers, and late nights he has his

Bachelors Degree!!

His Major was in CIT.....

and a Minor in History!

He'll take a year off and start on his Masters in 2011, the year before the end of the world:)

I am so proud of him, and his kids will always know how important an education is!!

Private

By the way I went private again, and will stay this way from now on. So check it every once in awhile because private blogs don't show new post lines.

Snowflakes

Today we had a preschool/meeting for the kids and moms. We planned out the next quarter while the kids played and frosted cookies. Than we cut and decorated snowflakes to take to a Retirement Home in our ward. I had forgotten how to make a good snowflake, they're fun once you remember how to fold the paper and where to cut the shapes....i think I'll have to do some with my kids for the front windows. Now if only it would snow here it would be warmer!!! So DARN COLD!!!
