The jump rope from Grandma that Janie loves! She is always trying to do it in the house.
Janie wanted a Barbie birthday cake so this is what we came up with. Once I was finished frosting it the icing was somewhat warm so I decided to put it out in the garage. I made sure the cat wasn't in there and then took my pictures. Right before I was to leave and pick up all the friends from school I walked out into the garage and guess who was there. The CAT!! Reid had gone out to play and left the garage door open and I didn't realize it. Luckily the cat only licked off a small portion of the frosting in one spot. So I hurried and patched it up and it was almost as good as new. It could have been so much worse!!! It turned out fine.
We had a birthday party for Janie on Friday the 12th of October. It was a miracle but all her friends kept it a secret like I wanted and we surprised
her. She had no idea. It was really fun. The girls decorated little canvas purses and beaded necklaces. I think they all had a great time, especially the birthday girl.
Our family lives in the small town of Victor, Idaho. It sits at the base of the Teton Mtns. My husband, Justin, was raised in this valley and brought me here 10 years ago. Now our children will say they were born and raised in Teton Valley. We were married in December of '98 and moved here soon after. We have four children. Janie is 9, Reid is 7, Jack is 4, and Lucas is 2. We own our own business called JRN Contracting, we are a for hire dump truck operation. Justin also farms. We love the simple life and love living in the country.
