Sweet Home Alabama

No we are not moving to Alabama, I just watched that movie the other day on TV. That movie is one of my favorites and I have been singing the songs off it all day.....This is a very strange post :). Sorry to those who wanted more.

Birthday Bash!! (only 2 wks late)

Karlee is officially 5 years old. We had all her little buds from Primary over for her Hello Kitty water party.....

This cake was so de-lish!!! I didn't make it but my wonderful friend with mad skills made it. Thanks Cara :)

We have a pretty good size hill in our front yard that made a great water slide after a slip-n-slide was put on it.

Even Blake's twin Brother's little boy went down... he's a mad man and he's only 1!!

A BIG picture of all the CHAOS!!!!

We've been asked to do this for a play date so all the brothers and sisters of the party guests can have a chance to come over and try it out.

The Girls chilling out eating some cake and ice cream.

I can't believe my little girl is 5 already. She is ready to leave me and conquer the world of Kindergarten :( .

Little Update....

I am not doing a very good job at keeping up with a weekly post. Sorry Grandparents :( . But we are a healthy and happy!!! Blake is still busy as ever with work and his scouts. He got the front end of the Tahoe fixed this past week and he did it all in 1 afternoon I was truly amazed. He is truly a gifted man with many skills ( luv u Babe). He is also in charge of the Father/Son Camp out this Friday which means its Girls Night Out this weekend YIPPEE!!!

I have been busy with haircuts and helping at Karlee's school and Primary stuff, and making sure that the house is cleaned for the clients to come and look at the house. I guess that's the life of a mother :).....I am not complaining.

Karlee is getting ready to celebrate the BIG #5 this weekend. She is having a water party with all her little buddies. She will be done with pre-school this week and isn't really looking forward to Kindergarten yet, she said she wants to stay in her school that she is in now.

Macy is still my big helper, she is always by my side. I can see in her already that she is a clean kid which I love, but it is all a scary thing. She is finally starting to talk like a big girl, it really hasn't helped with an older sister that does all the talking for her.

We are having a Soccer Social at our house on Tuesday for all the Team. I think all the parents and us included are really glad that the season is over. I know all the kids had a great time and they all get there very own trophy with there names on it.

We are also planning a family trip to Idaho the end of June!! Blake's Brother is coming home from his mission in Peru (P-U is where Karlee says he is). We are looking forward to seeing family and friends.

We will post pictures soon of all of our up coming events!!!!

Madness at the Mouser's

It feels like it has been forever since I have written a post, even though it has only been a week and a half. Our Family has been very busy with visitors, soccer games, strawberry picking and car accidents!!!! Here are a few pictures for u 2 c :

Blakes parents from Idaho came to visit for a few days. The girls were so excited to have them come. We all enjoy there visit and it was sad to see them go after such a short visit.

More soccer games....Yippeee!!!! It is starting to get hotter outside here so the poor kids are sweating as they are playing. Good thing the games are only 45 mins long.

Team pictures... Karlee is the 2nd from the right on the bottom :)

We needed a new picture with Papa and Grammy. The girls look so fabulous in there "puppo" (Macy's way of saying purple) dresses Grammy got them.

We have never been strawberry picking before. So while Blake's parents were he we all decided to go for it and try it out. It was awesome to watch all the kids pick strawberries. They ate them instead of putting them in the basket. I think they ate $3.00 worth of strawberries all together. Then we went to pay for them and all the kids has red strawberry juice all over there faces. I am sure the lady sees red faces all the time :).......good times.

Blake's Tahoe after the accident. This kid was blocking the road and Blake had no choice but to hit him. Blake is a little sore but other than that everyone is ok and we are so glad that he is ok.

~Another Blessing :)

~ Hoppy Easter ~

We had a great Easter this year....

Grandparents always send a package full of treats and toys for the girls :)The Primary held a Easter Egg Hunt for the kids at the park. Before they got to find eggs they told a story to the children to help them remember what Easter is all about.

I think we hid like 200-300 eggs so the children all found a ton of eggs.

The little woman loved there Easter dresses, they saw me making the bows for them. Karlee asked how I new what color to make the bows since the Easter Bunny brings them there dresses. I had to be quick and told her that the Easter bunny asked me to make your bows because he didn't have time to make all the girls bows so he needed my help.... sorry about the picture not showing all of it, I don't know what happened to it :(

Little sis...

Such a sweet picture, she wasn't feeling to good....but she was still fun to photograph.

Big sis....

This picture is for u Sister Homewood! I makes me feel good that people enjoy all the styles I do in my girls hair. I Luv styling there hair :)

Clothing Designer during Confrence ; )

During the 2 hour break between Conference on Saturday I finally started on the skirt I have been tiring to make for Macy. First thing....I am not a sewer....people think I am but I am not. I like to just wing it and start cutting and sewing. I was only going to make a jean skirt but I had enough leftover material for a shirt too. This is the completed outfit :)

As I started to cut and sew I needed Macy to try them on but she was napping so...Karlee to the rescue. When she tired on the skirt it almost fell off of her so this then became Karlee's outfit. ( Macy will get it when Karlee grows out of it). The fabric that I had cut for a shirt for Macy wouldn't fit Karlee so I had to add some fabric in the front and the X ribbon for effect.

While working at Old Navy a shirt came in for the girls department and for the sleeves it had ribbon tied in a bow. I thought I could do that and plus it looked really cute.

Karlee wanted to keep it on for the rest of the day. That showed me that she liked it and it was comfortable for her. She was a good little Model for me while taking pictures :).

Every outfit has to have a bow with it. I had only enough ribbon to make one. I think this sewing stuff is pretty easy, I get all confused if I am using a pattern : ) Plus I had a great mom that was always sewing us Easter Dresses and Stuffed Care Bears when we were little. Love U mom U taught me how to be a ?????? Sewer ;) . ( U can fill in the ??????)

6 years down, Eternity to go....

6 Years have gone by so fast for us. But it all started when.......Blake and I met in our college ward in Rexburg. I first noticed him, he was in charge of our ward Talent Show one night ... He was so funny, and cute up there:). Anyways a friend of mine new him and she told him he should come into the salon I worked at to get a hair cut. He finally came in a few weeks later and he asked me out for the next day. We went to Applebee's with his twin brother and his wife and baby. 2 weeks later we started dating . 2 months later he purposed to me in front of the IF Temple. 5 months later we were married in the IF Temple for Time and all Eternity on April 4, 2003. That was the happiest day of our lives...(other than the birth of our girls)... We are so blessed to have found each other and have the same goals in life.

We thought u'd like to see some pictures of our unforgettable day.

~Enjoy
