Daddy is almost home!!!

Stephen has been in Arkansas (woohoo!) for the past 5 days. And I have been amazing. I didn't even cry once! Go me! But really, the kids were so good, and we kept busy doing projects:

*Elise and I made hair clips for her friends for Christmas. Bows are all the rage here in Utah, and I must admit that I jumped on the band wagon with this project. It's been a bunch of fun to do with Miss Elise, tho, and we made a bunch of flower-bows for really cheap! :o) Here is Sammy modeling some of our fantastic bows.




*Mason decided to make marshmallow guns for his friends for Christmas, so we made a trek to Lowes (where a VERY nice man cut all the pipes for me!) and bought 30 feet of 1/2" PVC pipe and a bunch (20 of each to be exact) of T's, elbows and caps. I showed him how to put one together, and he's made 8 on his own. Amazing machine-loving boy! He has also invented a balloon blower-upper with the leftover pipes.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that STEPHEN'S TEAM WON!!!!!!! The FedEx Case Competition is the supply chain competition in the nation, and BYU won! This is only the 2nd year they were invited (they took 2nd last year), so this is fantastic for the supply chain program!
