In January we decided that we wanted to build a nice toy organizer for the kids, which was to include cubbies, and bookshelves. Caleb figured out the dimensions, and we headed out to Lowes to pick up some wood and necessary materials. We started with building the cubbies first, staining them, and then poly-ing them. We then followed with the bookshelves. Here is the work in progress, and the finished product, which all of us love! Caleb worked so hard at this project, and did an awesome job! He is amazing!

Pictures of Gabe

He looks so good. I was so worried he would get sick and lose weight and die or something but he has gained weight and I'm so excited.

Ukrainian Youth

I thought everyone (but especially the Ukrainian contingent) would get a kick out of this. Really moving stuff.

Happy Birthday MOM!

Yesterday was Mom's birthday, so we had planned on cooking dinner for her. I didn't get off work until 3 but when I got home Caleb, Jamie, Emily, Grace, Dad, and Jesse were cutting down the tree in the backyard! They were working on the tree and setting up the new play place for close to 5 hours! WOW! Lots of work.. Anyway, here are a few pictures that I have from yesterday. Happy birthday MOM! We love you!

Sorry to be so braggerly, but I got on the Mormon Women Project today. I first saw this website a year ago and loved it! It was such an honor to be posted alongside women who have truly incredible stories, mine feels kind of dorky. Interviewing is really hard and it turned out more cheeseball than I realized until it was posted for all to see- but oh well. Check it out here
