Foster Family: March 2012
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. In January we officially became the parents of a teenager. Can you believe that? I certainly can't. I promise, I just blinked. for real this time. Matt's birthday, as always, was super fun to celebrate. We kicked off the celebration by meeting Nana for dinner. Matt chose Red Robin because he had a hankering for a big burger. Got it. :). Matt and cute Nana. Happy Birthday, Matthew! I am so proud of who you are and who you are becoming. I am so grateful you are ours!

Foster Family: November 2010
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 16, 2010. You know when you find THE perfect dress? The kind of dress that is just perfect for a tea party. And not just any tea party, but a royal, fancy tea party. Imagine the sheer delight of two little princesses upon finding TWO such dresses on the same day! So when you have a dress that good, you can't just take it off. You should wear it. Everyday. Everywhere you go. Because you can. Posted by Foster Family. Thursday, November 11, 2010. You know, the one who wouldn't eat forever?

Foster Family: December 2011
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. The week before Halloween, our cousins came for a visit and we made our annual visit to the Pumpkin Walk. We love looking at the pumpkin scenes and the kids love the picture cutouts. Ended the evening with Pumpkin face pizza. Kids all ready for the ward Halloween party. (Bailey is in her cooler version of her butterfly costume.). On Halloween day our cousins came back up for a day of fun and evening trick-or-treating. (My sister makes those amazing costumes! The next morning sh...

Foster Family: Random catch up stuff
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2012/05/random-catch-up-stuff.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. Random catch up stuff. I'm behind. Same story. Let's just get to the gettin'. So, the gals got a new (really old) baby and Matt got a game. I figure the girls will love this picture someday - with their sweet bedhead. :). One Saturday we took an impromptu drive up the canyon. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and we decided to just get away for a little while. It was so much fun! So, we found a box and spray painted it gold - because a Leprechaun can't resist gold. Then we let ...

Foster Family: March 2011

Monday, March 14, 2011. I went to junior high school with her, but had obviously lost track of her and didn't know her married name. The next day I headed to the library and got more books by her. I had enjoyed the two books I'd already read and she was such a nice girl in junior high. When the life, tragedy, and stress hit, she had a peculiar way of handling it. Really ready? This talented author described the suds and warm water in such a way that I believed her.almost. I tried so hard. I looked at...

Foster Family: Holidays
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2012/02/holidays.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. Perhaps this post should really be called, "A quick recap of Christmas stuff in a few pictures.". As always, the holiday came and went far too quickly. We had a fantastic Christmas filled with friends and family. We made our annual trek down to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. Always amazing. We also had our Family Christmas party at my brother's house. So much fun! My brother in law read a Cajun version of the Night Before Christmas. This is a picture of the map and ...

Foster Family: Bailey's Birthday!
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2012/05/baileys-birthday.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. My baby turned four! I can't even get started on how that made me feel - ya'll know by now how it kills me to have my kiddos to grow up so fast. :) We'll just say that my sweet Bailey had a birthday and it was wonderful! Having a sleepover and a party at her BFF's house was "a dream come true! Now, my Bailey is completely obsessed with Harry Potter. Really. She has only seen the first movie, but she LOVES it! My very talented sister made this t shirt for Bailey. She loved it! And h...

Foster Family: May 2011
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 27, 2011. I love the musical Les Miserables. I have seen it three times and would love to see it another three. Every aspect of the show is moving and inspiring. The question is who do you relate to? Are you Val Jean, running from your past or are you Javert, trying to live the letter of the law and having lost all human compassion. Who is right and who is wrong? Les Miserables brings me a lot of comfort and healing. I can, in some way, relate to every character. Posted by Foster Family.

Foster Family: February 2012
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. First item of business on Christmas morning was making sure that Santa got his milk and cookies. He sure did, and he must have liked them because he sure left these kids some nice gifts. They were a tad worried since they knew that the Elf had been watching all month long. :). Bailey and Rachel both asked for a Baby Alive this year, and happily, they both got one. Who doesn't love feeding a baby doll and changing its greeny poop diapers? What a perfect Christmas! As always, the...

Foster Family: October 2011
http://thefivefosters.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. It happened. Again. Summer ended. School started. Again. Actually, my kids were really excited about going back to school this year. Great time of year. A few nights before, we had our annual Back to School Dinner. We used to decorate by hanging Matt's school supplies on the walls - pencils, crayons, etc. We've since stopped doing that has giant binders, calculators, and reams of paper don't hang so well. :). Can you believe that? Rachel's first day of school! She was sooo exc...
