It takes HEART!

of her whole school today. They are participating
in the Jump for the Heart Campaign. Syd's PE
teacher asked her if she would sing "It Takes Heart
To Be A Hero" which is their theme song for
the campaign. It was amazing!!!

Once you missed a jump you had to sit down (that's
why she is surrounded by seated 4th graders). She did
well, but didn't make it to the final 3 in her grade.

Fun with my Valentines!

spent in sunny Southern California! We
were lucky to get to celebrate Valentine's
Day with a bunch of our loved ones!

Now that they are expecting their first baby,
I cannot help but watch him and think about what
a great dad he's going to be. After all, he is one
terrific Uncle! My kids adore him!!!

Photo Club. Obviously, that sent us sprinting to
the Tide Pools in Dana Point!

little while and she soaked up some rays
while Pops 'watched' the Olympics at home
(which means he napped in the peace and quiet).

Last Minute Valentine's
Imagine this scene....I've just climbed
into a hot bath to relax for the evening
when my 10 yr. old knocks on my bathroom door.
"Mom, sorry I forgot to tell you, but we are
having our Valentine's Party at school tomorrow.
Can you help me make some Valentine's?"
So much for my 5 minutes of relaxation!
* Jason's out of town
* I helped a friend who's moving
clean her house today & I felt dirty
* I never get to enjoy my jacuzzi tub
* I'm raising 3 kids (need I go on?)
Sorry for the gross out picture of me in the
tub, but it helps set the stage for the story! :0)

I was prepared with after-Christmas-clearance
candy canes. Mini ones to be exact.

Melted Snow!
Ty and I have been taking walks around our
neighborhood lately. We do a mile loop
and we have been loving it.
neighborhood lately. We do a mile loop

adventure we located. Just at the end of our street,
there is a ravine. Down the steep slope, there
is a running stream of melted snow. It has
created a natural red rock slide similar (but
a lot smaller) to Slide Rock here in Sedona.
We have company coming this weekend and
the girls are determined to take them there
in their bathing suits and slide down it!
Need I remind them....
it is melted snow!?! Brrr!!!

decided you can categorize us.
Here it goes:

(we know that is freezing cold water
and choose to stay dry)

our new find! Stay tuned for pictures this weekend
when the girls will go rock sliding in the
Polar Bear Club! :0)
By the way, Scoop was the biggest fan
of this hike. She dove in the deepest part
over and over again. It made for one happy dog!

My deep, dark secret!
Please don't get angry when I tell you
that I have been keeping a big, deep,
dark secret from all of you. Sorry!
Back in August (while at the beach house),
I had a tooth abscess. After numerous Dr.
visits, it was decided that I needed to have the
tooth pulled. No biggie, right!?! Well, actually,
since I admit to being a total tooth snob, it was too
much for me to handle! I had lower braces put on the
day before the tooth was pulled to assure the quick
movement of my teeth (to hide the hole). :0)
So, since August, I have had braces on my bottom
teeth. Sure, look back at previous posts and see if
you can see them....a game of sorts. :0)

TOP BRACES....AHHHHH!
I will have these beauties for a few months and
then go back to normal...hopefully!
Yes, I did have braces once before in Jr. High.
Yes, my dad's not too happy about the fact
that I needed them again. At least this time
I have a husband that has to pay for them
(and they cost twice as much now).
