St. Patricks Day!

 Each year on St. Patricks Day, the Leprechauns visit our home. The night before, the kids leave out their shoes for the Leprechauns and the Leprechauns come to our house and fill the kids shoes with little treats or treasures. This year didn't disappoint. Kaleb is getting quite smart at this whole tradition and told Karmindy that if they put out their "BIG" shoes that the Leprechaun would have to fill their shoes with more loot. So of course, out came their big shoes. The leprechauns came and left the kids sprites, Lucky charms and their own boxes of Mack and Cheese. There were also gold coins sprinkled around by the front door. The Leprechauns must have tripped and their gold must have gone everywhere.When the kids woke up they sure were excited about their treasures.

Karmindy has afternoon Kindergarten which has been nice for her since she likes to sleep in. It is also nice because then I can have time to do fun things with her hair. I saw a cute hairstyle on Pinterest and decided to try it on Karmindy. We made a Shamrock with her hair. Karmindy was thrilled to have a pretty hairstyle to wear to school and not get pinched.

We sure love the Holidays at the Frisbey house! I love celebrating the holidays with my kids and making it magical for them. I hope they will never forget this!

Crafting with My Chicky!

Karmindy and I had a slow Saturday afternoon one weekend while the boys were out running errands. While the boys were off shopping, I asked Karmindy if she would like to make some crafts with me. She said she wanted to and was so excited and couldn't wait to get started. I told her she could paint her own craft and she was so excited to make a "big girl" craft with me to display along with all the other crafts I have showcased around the house for Spring time. I really loved spending time with my little girl and Karmindy seemed to enjoy our crafting time with me as well. I look forward to many more years of spending time with my little girl and doing more fun activities like this. I love having a little girl. Karmindy is such a joy in my life and I am so proud to be her momma. 

A few weeks prior to our little Mom/Daughter crafting session, I made this LUCKY sign to display on my mantle in my living room for St. Patricks Day. I really love crafting and decorating my house with the creations I make.

Date Night With Friends

I love where we live and have made such close friends with a few of the gals in my neighborhood. I truly have been blessed with good friends while living here in Riverton. It is so fun to be able to have girls nights and to double date with some of my girls friends and their hubbies. 

My friend Natalie Bradford and I decided to take our guys to dinner at Red Robin and then hit up the bowling alley in Sandy one Saturday night. Mark and I had so much fun spending time with Jason and Natalie. We are so grateful for their friendship!

The Tooth Fairy & 100 Days of Kindergarten

 Karmindy had a couple of exciting days this week.! Not only was it her 100th day of Kindergarten but she also lost her two bottom front teeth. She was so excited about her 100 days of Kindergarten at School. Her teacher, Ms. Calhoun, had the kids bring 100 items for show and tell. Karmindy brought 100 macaroni shells because she loves Macaroni and Cheese. 

Earlier on in the week she lost her two bottom teeth just a day apart from each other! The tooth fairy found Karmindy on both days and left her 2 sparkling dollar bills under her pillow. Karmindy was so excited about her money and loved showing us all her toothless grin!

 Its so exciting that our little girl is growing up but it also makes me wish that time would slow down so I could enjoy her childhood a little more!

Rain Drop Plop!

Spring is right around the corner and we have been getting a lot of storms coming through in Northern Utah. One Sunday after church it was raining pretty hard and Karmindy begged to put on her galoshes and take her brand new umbrella that she received from Santa in her stocking for Christmas outside to "make sure it worked." We let her go out and she had so much fun being out in the rain and I had to take a picture of her enjoying the beautiful little rain shower we were having! I love my silly cute girl!

Valentines Day 2014

 We love the Holidays at the Frisbey's House! I love watching the kids get just as excited for these special days as I do! We started our Valentine Planning a few weeks before the big day! I am loving Pinterest(a virtual bulletin board) and all the fun and cute ideas that I find on there. This year I found several cute ideas to "copy" and use for the kids' valentines this year to give to their friends. Karmindy gave her friends a valentine that said, "Your'e a Gem!" I found some cute eraser rings at Target to attach to her Valentines. I also found Kaleb some stretchy frogs to attach to his Valentines that he gave his friends. His Valentines said, "I hope your Valentine's is TOADALLY Awesome!" I think the kids homemade valentines cards turned out cute! I also couldn't be left out and put together some goodies to give to my closest girlfriends. I love surprising my friends with fun little gifts.This year I found some cute printables and made some cute cards and attached it to some Chocolate Cupcakes and Lemon Bunt Cakes. My girlfriends were surprised and loved their "valentines."

 Valentines Day finally arrived and the morning of I surprised the kids with Raspberry Filled Donuts and Strawberry milk for breakfast! They loved it. I also sprinkled cute cut out hearts on the table and let the kids use our fancy goblets to put their Strawberry milk in. I also taped hearts all over the kids bedroom doors for them to wake up to. They loved it! 

Mark and I also surprised the kids with a new outfit and toy. Kaleb got a new shirt and Karmindy got a new dress that had hearts printed on it. She looked really cute. I also had fun doing her hair in heart shaped pig tails. Both the kids looked so cute. We got Kaleb got him a new video game and we got Karmindy a new lalaloopsy. The kids loved their gifts. I really love making the holidays special for my kiddos!

After the kids left for school, I scrambled to get Karmindy's class party ready. I am the room mom this year for her class and was in charge of her class party. I had several stations that the kids rotated around to. Karmindy and her classmates made Love bug hats with antenna's, necklaces made out of holiday straws, yarn and heart cut outs. The kids also played a few games. I had a conversation heart stacking game and a Valentines Bingo Game. We also read a Valentine's Book together as a group and ate sugar cookies and drank little tiny waters.I didn't get any pictures of Karmindy and her classmates and I am kicking myself. The kids seemed to have a great time at the party. I have really enjoyed being Karmindy's room mom this year; however, I was glad that my last party was over with! It has been a lot of work to be a room mom this year but has been really worth seeing Karmindy so happy when I come to her class.

Mark and I couldn't not do something for each other. I love that he still remembers me on these special holidays. He is always so thoughtful still after all these years!! Mark got me flowers and wrote a poem telling me to go about my day and find fancy chocolate bars around the house. The Chocolate bars had traits that he admired/loved about me. It was very sweet. Some of the traits said, Outgoing, Loyal, Friendly, Thoughtful, Lover, Friend to everyone.

I also surprised him and got him some Chocolates, Candy, "Hot" Sauces, and a card proclaiming my love for him. He liked his surprises as well.

We loved celebrating the holiday this year and it makes it even more fun that the kids are getting older.

All you Need is Love...

 I have been getting an itch to craft and make something lately so I headed to Wood Connection with my friend, Crystal Albrecht one afternoon to get some Valentine Crafts to make. I don't have very many Valentines Decorations so I thought it was about time to add some to my collection. I ended up choosing this Love Block Kit and I loved how it turned out. It is sitting on my TV Armoire for all to admire and see. I love "Love" Month!"

In other news, I am so grateful to my parents who never forget my children when the Holidays roll around. My mom is the best grandma and always remembers to send some sort of care package up for the kids along with a typed note tell them how much she loves them. The kids really look forward to receiving Grandpa & Grandma DeMille's Care Packages. Thanks Mom and Dad for always remember Kaleb and Karmindy and making the holidays special for them and letting you know that you care about them!
