Show off

Well, there isn't anything exciting to post, but I thought I would show off some of the things that have been keeping me busy lately.

These are the two projects I chose to do for our ward Super Saturday

This is a frame I made for myself for a picture of my dad and I. The sad thing is that I can't find a picture of the two of us.

Last, but certainly not least considering it took the longes. I made the bedding for Brightons room. I couldn't find anything that I loved at the store, so I decided, (having never taken on a project like this before) that I would just make it myself. And I'm proud to say that it didn't turn out too bad. It's nothing fancy, but it works. Now I need to find some airplane decorations.

So, I totally got called out on the carpet by my friend, even tho I know she wasn't intending to call me specifically out. Updating my blog has become a chore and yet, I get bugged when too much time goes by on someone elses. We get involved in these fads like blogging and facebook and my space, etc. and after a while it looses some of it's appeal and we forget about them. But I agree with my friend that I very much enjoy reading other's blogs and being able to keep up with everyones lives. It's about the only way I have TIME to keep up with EVERYONE. So, boring life or not, I'll try to post more often. :)

I know my post are pretty boring, because my life is... well farely uneventful at the moment. I did get my kitchen cleaned and that was quite the event. I hate that I KNOW how good it feels to get my house cleaned and yet it's so hard to get it done. The weather was farely descent today and hopefully tomorrow will be even better. I can't wait to go on walks. I realized again today how much I love this stage in my life with my kids. They are so much fun to be around and do stuff with. (Most of the time) If anyone has fun summer stuff to do around here in I.F. let me know. I want them to have a fun summer.

Motivationally challanged

I am so hoping for some kind of motivation today. I have so much to get done and no desire to do most of it. I go to bed with a headache and wake up with one. That really doesn't help. I look around and get so bugged about everything. Like the fact that when I try to clean my house, no one else cares, so why should I. At that point I give up. But I don't want to be that person. So wish me luck.

I am very honored to be the daughter of John Hadfield. It was a year ago tomorrow that Heavenly Father called him home. It has been a very quick year in some respects and this isn't an anniversary that I really know what to do with. It will be a hard day if I let myself think about it. But I think I'm more apt to avoid it. My family and I will spend part of the day in the temple and that will be such a great experience. We are going to try and all be at our respective temples at the same time, and knowing that dad will be there with us will be a great comfort.

I can go on and on about how great I think my dad is. He was not perfect, but he LOVED the Lord and he LOVED his family. He LOVED my mom and you could see it in the way he looked at her. His grandchildren were very special to him and I can only imagine how he is spoiling the ones in Heaven who are waiting to come to the family. (ha ha..not mine ofcourse since were done.) What more could anyone ask for. He was a missionary in every sense of the word. He knew (knows) what he had in the gospel and wanted to share it with everyone around him.

I have great faith in our Heavenly Father's plan and know that he is on the other side of the veil working hard to keep us in line and other's to find their way. At times it is harder than others to not have him around physically, but we have all felt him close when we needed him. I can't express enough the gratitude that I feel for having he and my mom for parents. To be sealed to them for time and ALL eternity. That didn't break when he died. It became stronger. It became more real and more important than ever before to know that I am theirs. No matter who gave birth to me. I was meant to be with them. He made sure I knew that. I love you daddy!!

Hard Hat

I am very excited that the Hard Hat will be open in Idaho Falls on April 13th. This is going to be a great new resteraunt. They have some fun ideas and a great menu. Not to mention all the thought and work they have put into their new building. If you get a chance.. check it out.

What a great weekend. My mom, brothers and sisters and I were all able to be together this last weekend. We first attented the mission reunion which was a lot of fun and the reason for us all being together. Everyone shared great memories of my dad. Then we all stayed in a hotel. We took four rooms and the kids were so loud. We were actually asked to keep it down. How embarrasing. Oh well, the kids had a blast playing together. Saturday we all gathered together in Brigham City at the cemetary. It was too cold to do much but we did take a few pictures. Eventually I'll get them posted. We spent time with my dad's parents and my mom's mom. It was really hard to leave.

On a side note for my family... Brighton called Uncle Ben "grandpa"all weekend. It was quite touching.

Aaahhh. I can relax now a bit. We finished our Relief Society Birthday dinner last night. I think it went well. Thanks to all those who helped pull it off. And a special thanks to Lisa Belnap. You were wonderful.

For those of you who have asked or are wondering... I will be having a Twilight movie night at my house for anyone who wants to come. Jim went and found it on Blu-ray for me, so let me know if I should put you on my list to invite.

For anyone who cares... we've taken our house off the market and we're staying in Idaho Falls. Jim took a job working with a resturaunt called Hard Hat Steakhouse. It will be an adventure. They are building the new resturaunt over in Snake River Landing.

Brighton told me this morning that it was spring. I asked him how he knows that and he said it's because he heard the birds chirping outside his window. That means it's spring.

"Shhhh... the princess is sleeping."

Brighton loves his 7 different blankets. So much so that he's named a few of them. There is Danky, blue blanky and ducky blanky. Those are the only ones I remember. Anyway, the other night he had blue blanky in hand and says to me, "mommy, where is danky?" I told him that I had just washed and folded him and he was sitting in my room to put away. He then said " I need him, I can't sleep with blue blanky anymore cuz he kicks me at night." I laughed so hard I just about wet my pants. I said, "he kicks you huh? that's no good" and he says "nope and I don't want to sleep with him until he stops kicking me."

What a funny little imaginations.

Happy Birthday Daddy! I miss you!!
