Spring! Spring? Where Are YOU??

Today is Sunday the 29th and it is snowing.... Yuck. I am ready for flip flops and sitting outside in the evening air. So, in the event of summer ever coming, I will day dream about the things I like about summer and warmer weather.

1. I love painting my toe nails for wearing sandals. (you won't catch me with bare toenails!)
2. I love sitting out side in the evening, enjoying the CV cool air.
3. Reading in the sun
4. Baking in the sun @ Bear Lake
5. Walking in the morning hours before it gets too hot
6. Working in my flower beds (I really wish I had a "flower bed" like the DeMille’s- that just cracks me up!)
7. Smelling fresh cut grass
8. Mike worrying about mowing the lawn each week before the Williams girls (lol- he is just too funny!)
9. Eating outside at my Mom's - on the deck. The sound of the river is mesmerizing.
10. Feeling a burst of cold air when I step inside the AC house!!!

Another great thing about summer is the kids play outside a lot, but that comes with bumps and bruises and bike crashes. Yesterday, Olivia has a dozy and has a beautiful purple bruise on her chin to show for it! I'll post a picture!

Broadway Words of Wisdom

Many of you may know, or not, but I like to listen to the Broadway channel on my satellite radio. The other morning, I shared with my sisters three words of wisdom that came from songs I had heard... They were pretty funny so I thought I would share them with you!

"It's a beautiful day for saying it's a beautiful day"- (Can't remember)
"Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party" -The Producers
"When life throws you garbage, you can use it to climb." - The Wedding Singer

Don't you just love the wisdom!??

Hello Hello...

I few house keeping things....
First I took the music off. As much as I LOVE 80's music- it just got annoying. So I hope you don't mind.
Second- thanks everyone for your comments! I am really slow at reading them- but when I do, they brighten my day.

OK- life....
It is has been crazy. Between school, work, YWs and trying to keep the house clean, I just haven't had time to do anything other than the basics. Can I just tell you all how wonderful my husband is. Because of him and his willingness to help and support me, I had a companion at the temple on Friday and I, now, understand the wonders of the "magic" underwear drawer. LOL. It seems to re-fill it's self. (if you don't get the joke, call me!) I love Mike!

One other thing- I have been thinking a lot about my womanhood roles and working and teaching these principles with the YW has helped, but I wanted to share with you a little poem that I found. Please share your thoughts about the poem. I just love it. I think I will frame it for Olivia one day. I shared it in YW's today as part of my lesson.

"You never know what a girl is worth,
You'll have to wait and see;
but every woman is a noble place,
A girl once used to be."

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. I think you are all "girls" and you can change today to be the person you want to be!

Juli's Creations

So, in my spare time, when I should be updating my blog- I have been sewing and being crafty.

I have sewn some skirts for Olivia. She hates pants, so this is our only option. She really likes the tan/pink one, but hates the read one! What a poop.

She does love the nightgown I made for her during the Holidays. I spent almost an entire day at my sister, Jamie's house. She helped me through the entire process. I had never made anything with sleeves before! What a fun time and I learned a great skill.

Another thing is kind of scrap booking- but pictures, not pages for a book!

I bought this picture frame at a thrift store about a month ago, not sure what to use it for. I decided to make it into a wall hanging for my mom.

I painted the frame black, and ordered some vinyl lettering (Thanks Erin for Missy's number- Thanks Missy for such a quick turn-around!)- a quote that my mom has had on her fridge for a year- saying that she would love it on her wall. I got some help from Ruth P- (I love you Ruth) and scrapbook papered the background. It turned out awesome! What do you think?

Before

After (the pic isn't the greatest. The quote says: Families- make your memories, determine your future, love you no matter who you are")

As 2008 ends, 2009 Begins

Hello everyone,
Welcome to 2009. I am happy that you survived the '08 Holiday season. Things were fun here at the Weber home. Mike and I snuck out to the movies, twice! We saw Australia and Yes Man, both were great!
Christmas was fun and pretty normal. I will put together a slide show in the next few days or so. Big Christmas news- Jere and Alisa are expecting baby number 2! That makes 3 new babies for this year. My niece Kerry is due any day, that will make 4 for Kolton and Kerry. I have another nephew- Caleb and his wife, Brittany are expecting in the spring- 2009 will be full of new life!
New Year's was great. We joined Jere and Alisa at a ward party. Bob and Dani came too! It was fun, except I fell on my knees playing broom hockey and now I have a really cool bruise. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays with the ones you love!

Things I am looking forward to in 2009-
1. More Great SV Lady Bobcat basketball (and hopefully another state title) Go Amy!
2. A Master's degree
3. another Young Women's Camp
4. The movie New Moon
