Awards!!

I received 2 blog awards today. Yea!!! :) Two of my favorite people, Lura & Marie, bestowed two very lovely awards to my blog today and I am honored! Lura is the sweetest lady ever. I actually met her through blogging and then got to meet her in "real" life while we were in California and I just love her! I feel like she is family. And I love reading her sweet blog. She has a beautiful family and I love the thoughts about the importance of family and the gospel that she shares. Marie is someone else I've met through blogging but unfortunately have never met in "real" life, but maybe someday! :) She is a talented writer and an amazing chef living in England. She always posts beautiful stories and delicious recipes. And she is a loyal follower of my blog- I love reading her sweet comments each day. They always make me smile. Both of these women are wonderful! I feel blessed to know them.

The first award is the Blogging Friends Award(given to me by Marie).

This is what it said on Marie's blog about this award, "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these kind writers." I consider ALL of you to be my awesome blogging friends, but I have to pick 8 so here they are: Tara, Amber, Melissa, Laura, Kristi, Devri, Mindi, & Rachel. Thanks for being my blog friends!

This award is the "Nice Matters" award(given to me by Lura) You are supposed to pass it along to blogs you read that are really nice, something you really enjoying reading each week. Lura picked 6, so I'll pick 6 too. Here are my 6: Mom, Jan, Suzie, Emily, Kim & Nicole. I love reading your blogs ladies!

Thanks again to Lura and Marie. You ladies are so sweet:) You are two of my favorite bloggers out there.

I would love to meet you one day as I would love to meet Lura as well! Our home here in England is more than open to you. If you guys ever come over here and don't stay with us for at least part of your trip I would be highly insulted!!! 45 minutes from the centre of London and only 2 hours from Paris via the Eurostar, we are in the perfect area!; 12/12/08, 5:03 AM

She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
