Happy Birthday Crystal!

Even though Kanoe and Suzanne beat me by putting their tribute of Crystal first, I still had to give her a shout out!!
Crystal is turning the big 26 today! We have been friends since we were about 7 or 8. We lived across the street from each other and were best Friends! Even my Dad and her Mom were good friends growing up! Our families go way back, and they are still my favorite family in the whole world. Hope you have a great B-day today. Love ya tons!!

Long time no post

Sorry for the lack of Posts! I can't find my camera to put up new pics. I'm about to go crazy and turn my whole house upside down! My kids have been known to throw things in the garbage.....I'm praying that is not the case.

Meet the Arnett family

A couple of months ago my family had pictures taken. A guy named Troy Brinkerhoff did them and did such a good job. I can't believe how big my little family looks!!

Thanks Mom!


So I bought this Amy butler fabric awhile back to recover my coushions, but I forgot that I don't know how to sew!! So my Mom came to the rescue and recovered them for me. Don't they look so cute!!

Back to Pre-School for Brody

Yesterday was Brody's first day back to pre-school. He is going to a new one this year and his teacher's name is Mrs. Lisa. She is so cute! He gets to go with two other kids on our street (Dayton and Bailey) so they all have so much fun together.

I thought this shirt was appropriate!!

Fun finds!

So I found this really really cute blog the other day. It's full of the cutest ideas and great tips for so many fun things. Check it out at tangledand true.com
When you do you will find the most adorable cake pan that I have ever seen! I'm totally getting this and can't wait to try it out!


I know you all have or have seen the Bumbo, but did you know that you can now buy a tray to fit on it? I love the Bumbo and will love it even more when I will be able to use this tray. Sadie pretty much lived in the Bumbo for about 4 months. I'm a big fan!!
My sister in law introduced this book to me, and I have been meaning to get it and make it for the nursery in my ward. It has the cutest visuals for all the nursery songs. It's already in color so you just cut it out and laminate it. I love it!! Anything to help those little ones have fun and learn to sing primary songs is great in my book! It would also make a fun FHE night if you have little kids.

July Happenings

The month of July has been full of fun events, but I am anxiously awaiting the fall months to come. I love the change of seasons. Not to mention, ready for the temps to drop! The past two weeks of stormy weather has been fabulous though.
Noah started of this month by going to Havasupai with the young men in the ward. They had so much fun and everyone did pretty good on the hike. The only bad thing about the trip is that Noah lost his wedding ring while going through a rapid. I guess if you're going to lose your wedding ring it may as well be in one of the seven wonders of the world. Right?! He finished up a session of summer school, and is currently still on the Dean's list! Then the young leaders took the boys up to canyon lake for an overnight lake trip before school started for everyone. They had a blast!
You can now add Gap to one of my job titles! I started working flow. Which means you go in 2 or 3 times a month after hours and help put out all the stock and organize everything. I pulled in a whopping 9 hours this past month! You should see my pay check! Noah just makes fun of me. But I get a great discount, so who cares! I just finished reading Twilight. It is such a good book. I neglected my kids and husband for about two days, but I really could not put it down. I also just finished writing our primary program. Ya that's right! I am so excited to see it all come together. Our primary kids are the best!
Brody just finished up his swimming lessons. (finally!) He is getting so good at swimming back and forth all by him self. He spends most of his days playing with his best bud Dayton who lives next door. All the other kids on the street are in school already so it's just the little ones again. We took Brody to a D Backs game for the first time and absolutely loved it. They handed out baseball cards as you walked in, so he kept waving them at the game, thinking that it meant something. It was really funny. Brody gave a talk in church this past Sun. and did so good!! He absolutely loved being in front of everyone with all the attention. I wonder where he gets that from??
Sadie had a big month in July. She turned 2!! She had a really fun party and got way too many fun new toys. She also gave up the passy! Noah cut the tip off one of them and gave it back to her, and she said: "not going". She didn't really get it and then threw it. She asked for it a few times but that was it. She is such the big girl now.
Well that's about it. We are all doing great and are thankful for all our many blessings!
