Instead of emailing these, It's actually easier to post them. So here's some pictures of the apartment for jerry.

Party

Amara (Caleb's grammie) threw me a huge birthday party!  It was so much FUN!  The food was awesome, as always!  And a ton of people came! I just feel so loved!

Camp Pictures

Another fun weekend at camp. Caleb was with his grammie, so it was just the boys. Grampa got them each pop guns from the new Cabela's that opened up. They loved them! Me? Not so much.

Tip for Karinne.

When you are playing with Photo Booth late at night when everyone is alseep, make sure you delete the pictures.

Another clue...

In case you didn't get the first one.

I'm mad at you.

Stake Mother/Son Activity

Daddy will be proud!

Aren't Heidi's boys so handsome!?

Saturday Jordan and Tanner (Caleb thought he was too "old") went to Topsham for a fun carnival! They got to play games and win prizes! I got to see my sweet friend Heidi and two of her beautiful little boys there (she has 3 boys like me)!
Heidi- We HAVE to get these boys together soon!

Preschool Graduation!

Today was our Preschool Graduation. I made graduation caps for the kids and Tanner and Jordan have been wearing them since last night! They were so excited to "graduate"! We had a fun day today! All the moms (and a dad, grandma, and grandpa!) came over my house for the graduation then we had a lunch/party. I am so thankful for Valerie, Kathy, Daynon, Jennifer, and Suzy for inviting me into this preschool group. They are amazing and fun moms (and a grandma!) and have been amazing examples to me. Thanks girls!

I love this.

Grease

Nara is the pianist for the Grease musical at Cheverus High School. She did an amazing job! The musical was great! A whole bunch of us went. Cindy bought flowers for the boys to give to Nara after the show. So cute.

Here are a few pictures from our recent Preschool Field Trip.

Thanks, Hunter!

Whenever we see my nephew, Hunter, he always has hand-me-downs for the boys.  I totally love this. The only problem is, he's a few years older than Jordan.  I usually have to put the clothes away until they fit, but if Jordan sees them he'll immediately put them on (regardless of size) and wear them continually.  Since we just saw Karinne not to long ago, Hunter managed to find a tie that was too small.  Needless to say, Jordan has worn this tie since Monday night.

Utah

You'll have to bear with me, this may be a very long post.  I deleted my Photoshop Elements to upgrade to CS3, but I'm waiting for more memory so I have no Photoshop.  Therefore, I'll post a few of my picture from myfabulous trip to Utah.  I'll also list some highlights from my trip.

- I attended Women's Conference at BYU on Thursday and Friday.

- I heard the prophet speak for my very first time in person.

- I attended great sessions by Jon Bytheway and ohter speakers.

- Went shopping at some of my favorite sto

res (Rod Works, Tai Pan Trading, Downeast, Quilted Bear, etc.)

- Spent time with my adorable nieces and nephew.

- Ate Krispy Kreme everyday.

- Had a huge

 Windham Reunion

 at Tony's wedding with the Peterson's, DiFiore's, Williams, Lawson, Hansen's...

- Went to Church at the Thai/Laos Ward with Kristyn Stroud.

- Straightened my hair....Which I never do in Maine.

- Spent Sunday afternoon with my in-laws, and had Ma's yummy pho and eggrolls. (The pic is of Marcus's sweet grandmother.)

- Visited the Forebe's (friends from Maine who recently moved back to Utah.)

- Acted crazy with Brin, Hunter and Ava.

Laughed until I peed with Karinne.

- Hung out with my little brother.

- Brought home 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.

- Had a "girl talk" night with Lori, Emily, Mary, Becky, Kristyn, Mary, Mom, and Karinne.

So, it was a very busy packed weekend.  There was so many things I wanted to do and people I wanted to see that I wasn't able to.  Hopefully it won't be too long before I can go again.  I have a ton more pictures I'll post later in a collage format.
