Crèche 2010

Our good friends and neighbors Amy and Jeff  belong to the LDS church in our town.  Every year to celebrate the season their church holds a public Crèche event.  I believe I read that there were close to 400 on display this year.  Anyone in the community can participate and they place a card with the family that loaned it as well as where it is from.  It is amazing and really gets you in the holiday spirit!  We went last year and hope to continue going as it is a fun event to experience with our dear friends!



This is on the outside of the church and one of my favorites!

If I get back Chile I am going to pick up one of these as I just love the chickens and sleeping pup! 

We had a wonderful time plus Elle was able to make an ornament with Nora, Henry, Anne Marie, Charlie, Julia, and Kate!  Thanks A family for taking us!!

Shown up again

So I have totally given up on trying to keep up with our neighbor. I mow the lawn, he mows it an hour later. I get our grass at least a shade of green mixed in with the brown and his looks like they are playing the next Mariner game there. I thought about putting sprinklers in and he has them in over the course of a week



I think we are going to have to have a chat about this one. Kim asked when I was going to buy the spray paint for our yard. (she also just added that there are flowers on their counter) Aargh, I'll never win. (but I'll keep trying)

The spa is wonderful...

Miss Elleanor may not be very fond of her bathtime, but there is nothing sweeter than a nice warm towel and her hair being brushed.

Thank you Amy for the beautiful towel. As you can see, Elle approves!

Zoe and me

While Colby was in Las Vegas for Bowling Nationals. I doggie sat Zoe, our neighbor's pup. Zoe and I spent most of Saturday on the couch as I battled a cold.

Zoe enjoyed laying on my stomach and this didn't sit very well with baby, who proceeded to kick until Zoe felt it and it scared her off.

If she wasn't on my stomach then she was inches from my head.

Watching for her Mom and Dad to get home.

Neighborly love

Our next door neighbors have been really excited about the idea of a new playmate. Last night Colby and I left them a message.

Here is the message we found this morning!

I love our neighbors and neighborhood!
