Family Pictures

Family Pictures! We finally got the whole family together for pictures. About once every 2 years we try to get the whole Boice clan-(my side) grandkids and all to pose for photos. Grandma Boice always needs to have updated pictures on her shelf. It shouldn't be that hard, but it is. We had our Wood pictures taken too. I just wish I would have had the sense to have Haley, Colton and Brenna in a pose separately. Now that Haley is "never here" It is impossible to get any pictures of her. I think the pictures turned out pretty good. Brenna has her scowling glare that she gives to strangers and sometimes to family.....

So Where Have I Been?

Brenna's first sled ride! Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas Brenna

Silly Brenna!

It is sad to say the the whole Holiday season just passed me by as far as blogging goes.... Thanksgiving came, then the day after and my website exploded and I had a more than full time job processing orders and answering phone calls from Moms and Grandmas that wanted Dress UP stuff! If you call my phone you have no doubt heard my wonderful voicemail. We will be needing a separate phone for the business soon.

Things have died down for now. Our website http://www.littlefairywings.com/ actually tanked on December 25. The server went down that hosts our site... Ouch! So we scrambled to change the site over to a different host. We basically had to rebuild a completely new site! Oh craziness! So our new site is up, but with lots of bugs.

My Christmas decorations are still up. That is the part I hate-taking it all down- I guess I will do a little at a time.
Christmas was wonderful. We did have a great celebration. Mom and Uncle Mike spent the day with us. We had a fancy Christmas Eve dinner at my sister Melinda's with the whole extended family. We hosted New Years Day dinner and had a full house. It was so nice. I had strep throat for the whole week prior to Christmas. I was in bed, but it finally gave me time to slow down. I read a great book! Gentlemen & Players.

Now, unfortunately, Mike is just getting over strep. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Think "In" the Box

I haven't posted anything in weeks. So here are a few pics of the kids doing what they do and making us laugh. Brenna loves to crawl in or on everthing. So today, she was in the storage box I had just emptied. Silly Brenna...You remind me of my old cat Sabrina.
Colton found my boots. He put them on and wore them for hours...Should I be worried?
More pictures of Mike and I with Brenna. Great times.

Time to be Thankful...Always

Thanksgiving is almost here! I love this time of year. Life has been crazy the last couple of weeks with preparing for our littlefairywings.com boutique. It was a lot of fun and work. Yesterday was the big day and now I can relax...for a day maybe. I have to constantly be busy otherwise I think I will go crazy. Each day Mike and I are thinking of new ways to market our website and products. So much fun!
This week I am looking forward to relaxing with my family being thankful. I am so thankful for my family, home, friends and even our trials....We are going to spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt Julie and Uncle Marshall in Logan, UT. We love visiting them and don't get to do it often enough. Thanksgiving is obviously about being thankful and we remind ourselves each year by celebrating and eating. What Mike has always reminded me throughout the years is that we need to treat everyday as Thanksgiving and BE THANKFUL for eveything all the time. For me it is easier said than done. But I do try....
I am going to start tearing down the fall decorations tomorrow and up will go Christmas. Did I say I love this time of year?

Brenna's Party

Well Brenna's 1st birthday and Halloween came and went so fast and now it is already November 9. I had to at least update the blog with the birthday cake mess. The pics we took of Halloween will have to come later. Life has been so busy lately.

We had a great little party. All the family came and we had a great lunch. Haley brought her new "friend" Derek. Everyone really liked him. Haley was in charge of the camera. Our little princess, Brenna of course had no idea what the fuss was all about. She looked blankly around as we sang to her and Mike blew our her candle. However, when the cupcake was laid before her she sank right into it. She had never had frosting before. What a mess! So cute! Colton loved playing with her new toys. Oh the life...
