Happy 5th Birthday Sarah

For her birthday I told Sarah that while Dad and her brothers were at school we could do something special with just the two of us. We went to Farr's Fresh and got ice cream, then to the dollar store where she picked a police set, then to WalMart to get some stickers for toes. Then we came home and painted toes. We had a great afternoon. I love you Sarah! Happy Birthday!

Sarah got furniture for her doll house
and a Snow White Barbie Doll

Sarah got to choose where we went to dinner. We went to Arctic Circle then came home and had cupcakes!

5 year old Sarah!

Sarah is always very loving and kind. She wants to do what is right. She loves preschool and learning new things. She loves to do her "homework," just like her brothers. She likes to tell jokes and always wants to look beautiful! We love our sweet Sarah!

Party With Family

Saturday, December 11, 2010

We were going to Herriman for Drew's birthday party, so we decided we would just celebrate with Dusty's family while we were there. Aunt Marilyn made Sarah these cute cupcakes complete with Dora on the top!

Blowing out the candle!

Eli wanted in on the fun too!

We were supposed to go to Sandy to celebrate with Wayne's family, but Aunt Margo ended up being sick, so we met Grandma & Grandpa Madsen at Ikea and then came home! When we got home we let Sarah open the presents she would have opened at the family party!

Dora Save the Snow Princess Wii Game. She was very excited to have her own Wii game.

New outfit and bath paints!

She has been begging for her own MP3 player ever since last Christmas since Tyler got one. She was very excited and got to help Dad put the songs on it!

Building a Snowman!

Dressing the snowman!

Tyler, Braden, Sarah
The snowman has two names, Sarah says he's Frosty, Tyler and Braden say it is Clickey.

Ohhhh! What a cute snowman! Sarah was out there talking to the snowman. She said she was telling him jokes! Too cute!

Our family was asked to sing in Sacrament Meeting today. We sang "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus." Mom and Dad sang the first verse, the kids sang the second verse and we all sang the third verse. We got a lot of compliments, so I guess we sounded descent. We were grateful for the opportunity to sing this wonderful song and learn some of the stories of Jesus along the way!

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving!

Wednesday, November 24, 2010! We decided that for dinner the night before Thanksgiving we would watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and eat their dinner. (Thanks for the idea Darla.) So we got out the TV trays. We had popcorn, toast, jelly beans, pretzels and chips for dinner. We had a great time and decided this should be our new tradition. It is fine with mom, that is one less meal I have to cook.

For Thanksgiving this year we stayed here at our house. We had our friends Heather and Tracey Rau over for dinner. Their kids were at their dad's for the holiday, so it was just the two of them. We had a wonderful dinner with all the Thanksgiving fixin's. We followed dinner with a family movie and a rest on the couch! It was a great day!

We promised Tyler that when he got his casts off we could go do something fun as a family. He chose to go to Chuck E. Cheese's, so Friday we went and had pizza and let the kids play some games. They had a great time.
