Ending the school year 2017

So I have NO time to blog anymore. ...which is why I post so much on Facebook these days.

I'm catching up! Here's some fun end of school stuff 2017!

Harrison's last day of 3 year old pre-k!
Mrs. Tammy (left) and Mrs. Sharon (right) were the best! harrison loved them so much!
I think one of my favorite things about Harrison is how awkward he is in pictures- he's so dang cute!

Next, it was awards day for the big boys! These boys are so smart!

Austin earned Honor Roll (all year), Outstanding Reader, and a special Lubbock ISD award for his district test scores, LISD Scholar.

Jackson earned Honor Roll (all year), Outstanding Achievement in Math, and the LISD Scholar award. Look at that swagger!

Look at these brothers- they are night and day, but they sure make my heart so happy.

And finally, the last day of school!
On to 2nd grade for Austin.
We love you Mrs. Taylor!!!!

On to 5th grade for Jackson- his final year in elementary. Sad.
We love you Mrs. Reves!!! ...and Mrs. Derek and Mrs. Marine!!!!

And because he's so flippin cute, here's one of the tiniest Nuffer waiting for his brothers after their awards assembly:

Easter 2012

This year we had our big family Easter dinner on Friday because Grandma had to work on Sunday. I tried out a new recipe for dessert which I found on Pinterest (of course). It's a super rich chocolate brownie cake. It turned out great, but was a little too rich for my taste. However, I really think that if you are a true die-hard chocolate lover then you will LOVE this recipe . I thought I was a true die-hard chocolate lover, but this cake beat me. A good friend of mine makes Easter cupcakes with her kids every year. I saw them on her blog last year and I thought they were so cute! This year we made them at our house to hand out to our neighbors. Jackson helped with the baking and decorating. He has some mad grass and egg decorating skills! He also decorated the plates that we handed out the cupcakes on. Our neighbors were quite impressed with his work. For some reason I still get these little momentary realizations that I'm a mother of two, and I get this rush of emo...

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the ...

George Albert Smith challenge

Last Sunday we started the new lesson book in Relief Society over President George Albert Smith. I was really impressed by the 11 "ideals" that make up his personal creed. You can read each of the 11 ideals from his personal creed here . I wish I could say that I am already living ALL 11 ideals, but that's not the case. So I'm challenging myself to take one ideal a month which will take me through November and honor that ideal by living it somehow (it will vary each month with each ideal). I will try very hard to do something representing all 11 ideals in the month of December. I will update the blog each month with whatever good deed or service project I have come up with for each month's creed. Writing about my monthly challenges is not to be boastful or prideful, but rather to ensure that I follow through with my challenge. You are welcome to take the same challenge. I would LOVE to hear about how you live each creed! January's creed: "I will...
