We Love Mommy!!!

This is Ivan writing this time, as Mandy has been so terribly busy working at the flower shop this week getting ready for mothers day, and selling Snapbandz too! Since she is so pre-occupied, I thought it would be a great oppurtunity to sneak into her blog and embarrass her. Emalee and I would like everyone to know how wonderful Mandy is to us! I know it is hard to believe, but we like her just the way she is! (only maybe less busy) Life around here is never boring and we can pretty much blame Mandy for that, but really we are blessed by her enthusiasm, talent, humor, creativity, compassion, and most of all love. Emma is so much like her mother! but it can be a good thing as well. Emma is so full of creativity, we always find her making up funny stories, songs, doctrines, and pictures; I am certain she gets her imagination from her mother. As for Emalee's goofy antics; rest assured most of the time her mommy put her up to the them. Whether it is singing all the way to Ogden and back, wearing granny panties on her head, or doing "crazy eyes"; Mandy finally has a willing participant in all the sillyness!

WE LOVE YOU MOMMY!!

..and since my mother has become a regular to the blogging scene, I want to let her know that we all love her too! Mom has been a great example to me and taken very good care of all her kids and grandkids. One of the surprise blessings we have found since moving next door to Mills Limousin Ranch is how good it has been to have "Marjie Grandma" so close to us. When we are busy with Snapbandz and/or homework, mom has been very willing to take Emma for a few hours and play with her. Emma loves to help grandma bake cookies, and grandma seems to like dancing with Emma?? (its quite a sight)

Thanks Grandma Marjie! we love you too.

--By the way mom, in the probable case you haven't noticed them yet,there is a basket of petunias on the front porch, please keep them alive.
