Scatter Sunshine Floral !!




 I survived my 1st Valentines Day since opening the shop April 1, 2013 - It was successful and I couldn't have done it without the help of my #1 daughter and my #1 sister !!  We did it!!


Just a few pics of my (our) work - I really do enjoy what I do - at times it is a lot of pressure but there is always a feeling of accomplishment.  This is a casket spray that we did for my sister-in-law Kalee's sister Valee Smith - It was a privilege to put this together for such an amazing person.  With casket sprays I always feel like we have divine/heavenly help.

August 2014 - 1st Day of School!!

 Brock - a Junior at MHS!!
 Mary - in 5th grade - She has Mrs. B for a teacher.
 Tyton - in 4th grade - He has Mrs. Tenney for a teacher.
Nate - in 6th grade - He has Mrs Ferriter (who is new) for a teacher.  The 3 Rug Rats are all at Capps Middle School this year which will be nice - plus if they cause any trouble they can go straight to the Principal's office:)    We LOVE Mr. Slade!

Just had to post this pic!

Since - I print my blog into a book - I just had to upload this picture - He slept like this for a long time.  I can't believe how big my baby is getting!!!

Easter - April 2014

 Kids having fun coloring eggs - Nate you are such a DORK!!!
 Granddad helping Graci with her Easter eggs - This is his tradition and it has been for years - He loves it and the kids love it!!!  I usually get to clean up the mess and that's okay with me cause he is making memories with the kids and now grand kids!!!
 Gracilyn checking out her Easter basket - Look at that sweet face:)
 Buddha - we just love you!!!!
 Tim and I came across this crazy sour gum in the shape of an Easter egg - so we put it in the kids Easter basket - well - it ended up being crazy, crazy, crazy sour!! So, we had a contest with all the kids to see who could chew it the longest.  Mary opted out - chicken!!!!  The little guys didn't do to bad - Nate actually won - and as you can see Carly couldn't hack it!!! What a wimp Carly:)
Yep - she spit it right out!!!

Happenings of 2014 - since 2014 is almost over!!

 Here are a few HIGHLIGHTS of 2014 -  Tyton and his Pinewood Derby - He actually ended up taking 2nd in speed - YEA TYTON!! 
 Tim looks so happy - happy that it is over!!! Well - at least for this year - haha
 Brock looking amazingly handsome at his 1st Prom - It's crazy to me that he is old enough to go to Prom - seriously - I am crying right now!!!!!
He doubled with his cousin Tristen and his date Rebekah Reynolds.  Brocks date was Brittney Watchman, she is in our ward and a amazing young lady :)

Christmas Tree Gettin FUN!



This year getting Christmas trees was so much fun!!  We were lucky to have the Slade's/Butler's from Tucson with us.  It was their first tree getting trip and hopefully not their last!!

These two little girls are bff's - this is their "say cheese" pose.

This is their "the sun is in my eye's pose".

This is their "the snow has made me a little tipsy" pose!! They seriously kill me:)

We LOVE this girl - best niece ever!!  So glad that they got to go with us.  Notice the truck in the background - this trip was the 1st time it ever got dirty - NO JOKE - they are city slickers - they don't have mud in Tucson!!

Peace Out Peeps!!

Carly - the FASHIONISTA!!  I just had to say it:)  When you are a hick from the sticks anything goes - haha

Better late than never!!

I haven't blogged in forever.  Life has a way of quickly passing by.  Here are some pictures that I LOVE! 


Rudger - I just love that sweet little face.

Halloween is not my favorite holiday but we try to have a little fun.  Thanks Aunt Tara for painting all the kids faces:)
Two little lady bugs!
Mary had her 10th birthday!  We LOVE this girl - she's the best!

We took a trip to the Valley with our good friends and the girls got their ears pierced for their birthdays.  They didn't even cry:)

Yep - this little guy turned ONE - he is so stinkin FUN!!

Love, Love, Love this picture - it was right after our state football game.  She melts her granddad's heart.

Well, you can tell by the look on Brock's face that the Mustangs didn't get the WIN - they had a great season though and starting on varsity as a sophomore isn't too shabby!

If this picture doesn't make you HAPPY then I don't know what will.  This cutie turned THREE - she is a sassy little booger but oh how we adore her!!
