Ohhhh I love it!!!!

I subscribe to the most amazing scrapbook kit club EVER!!! It is called Scarlet Lime and is amazing every month. I don't know how Christy does it but she comes up with the funnest products I've never seen before. She has all the connections! In addition to the monthly kit club, she does a monthly project kit also. The December kit was these darling Christmas Ornaments! The pictures don't do them justice but they are so stinkin cute I can hardly stand it!!! There is beads, ribbon, glitter, felt (yes, I cut and sewed the cute bird) and rhinestones. If you've ever thought about becoming a member of a kit club before, (I know, I'm obsessed) Scarlet Lime is THE BEST!!!! Check out their website of past artist galleries @ www.scarletlime.com

OOOH ARTHUR!!

So, I took Conner to the library the other day and he picked out some Arthur books. Well, he loved them so much we had to go back a few days later and get some new ones and we visited the video department and found a bunch of Arthur DVD's as well. Kenzie and Kaden loved Arthur when they were little too so when I put in the DVD's it was just like old times for all the kids to be enjoying Arthur. It sure beats Spongebob!!!!!!

Poulsen Cousins

Thanksgiving was at our house this year and guess what..... we went to Chuck A Rama for dinner! I just couldn't deal with the stress of the whole dinner thing this year. We loved having the family here but we were missing a couple. Jeff's brother Kevin didn't make it and stayed in Arizona and his Nephew Josh is serving a mission in Brazil. Other than that we had the whole family here and my parents as well. It is so great to spend time with family and especially around the holidays.

Prayers Needed

Isn't it interesting how just when we get really down on ourselves and our problems, the Lord has a way of putting things in perspective? My dear friend Lana just found out her 8 year old daughter has leukemia. It sure makes me grateful for the health of my children but my heart breaks for her family. Why do some people seem to be given more than they need to handle? The Lord must know how strong she is and her family also. Please remember them and their sweet Emma in your prayers. It is going to be a long road ahead for them, I pray for added strength and comfort for their family.

More Las Vegas

These are just some more views of the Halloween display that didn't fit on my last post!

Las Vegas Getaway

Jeff and I just got back from a conference in Las Vegas. It was a great little break from real life. The Blue Man Group had a great show, a little slow at times but overall very entertaining!

It is hard to believe that with a city this beautiful, it is so scummy at the same time. Just cover your eyes, plug your ears and nose and you'll be just fine!

Some of the sights weren't all bad, I have nothing bad to say about this chocolate fountain inside the Bellagio. The Halloween display below was also INSIDE the Bellagio. It is amazing what these resorts do to bring in the tourists! And thanks Julie! We couldn't have done this without you!!!

Steph's belated birthday!

So about a week after Steph's real birthday, all "the girls" (minus Sarah and Marianne), took Steph to lunch. It is always a good time and a good laugh with these women. And Emily, I know you have 6 children but get off the phone and join the party! ha ha
