They perform classic Irish songs (“Green Grow the Rushes"), timeless pop anthems (“Bridge Over Troubled Water"), and inspirational songs (“Ave Maria”) with their signature Celtic Woman twist.

They have a new album that just came out TODAY! Called "Believe" I am so excited to listen to it! Here is a link to one of the songs on the album called"Teir Abhaile Riu" I LOVE IT!! They are also starting a new tour and have aDVD available of their concert - watch the trailer HERE! This concert features a 20 piece orchestra, 7 piece Celtic Woman Band, 16 piece Atlanta Bag Pipe Band; lush vocal harmonies from a 10 piece Aontas Choir, 30 member children’s choir and featuring a world champion Irish dancer formerly a lead performer in Riverdance! Hopefully we will be able to go to the concert when it comes to Utah in April!

Christmas was great we had so much fun Ry loved all his gifts.
But the ones he loved the most came from his two little girls.

The girls had so much fun. Santa ate all of the cookies they left for him. They were so happy all day.

Our little Brook loved it so much she is still talking about how Santa is coming to town and she sings her favorite Christmas song all day long Pillow pet Pillow pet pillow all the way (AKA jingle bells)
Kali could not believe that Santa ate all the cookies she said mom Santa must have been really hungry so cute.

Head bands for sell

2010-05-10T23:46:00.000-07:00

I have so many headbands.This is not even half of my head bands. I need to sell some I have no more room in my house for them and I just keep on making them. I am selling them for $5.00 I also have bows that are on clips.

What do I do with all of this.

2010-04-18T23:26:00.001-07:00

These are made from formula cans. I thought they would be cute to put treats in to give to people. Did I go over bored yes yes I did. To start I did home made bows and made a bag to put them in. These bows I did out of scrap book paper.

Next I made some home made Tassels. My friend got married and I wanted to make her blush at her bridle shower and it worked. I even found a way to make them stay on.
Next I made some flower pens for my sister for her Mary Kay. I took the flowers I made last time and put a pen on the end so she can put them on a table for people.

This is made from a baby diaper wipe box and some scrap book paper. It is a storage box.
These are some flower rings they are really cute on. They are made from fabric and hair holders.

These are my diaper wipe holders.
I got sick of having all my head bands all around my house so I made something to hold them.
Can you guess what it is made out of?
Her are my head bands I made for my girls. I think I made at least 25 of them I went a little crazy but that is O K Kal loves them.

Happy Easter ans so much more

2010-04-07T19:31:00.001-07:00

It was a princess Easter and our house this year. I thought this year I would make it fun for my girls so I did a Princess Easter Kali loved it she still won't let me put her basket away.

Today was a very long day we went everywhere and my girls where so sleepy.
I just thought this was so funny Kali looked like she was drunk her coke cans in her hands. these where bottles that had just been sitting in my car forever.

Cute little Brook on Easter she loved her little tutu she had it on all day

Easter egg hunt and Grandmas they had so much fun looking for eggs.

Easter morning Kali was so happy that the Easter bunny came and the table was all covered with princess eggs and princesses so fun

Come to our Spring Boutique

2010-03-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

Some fun new pictures

2010-03-19T11:28:00.000-07:00

Oh Smiths how I love your good deals

2010-03-17T16:56:00.000-07:00

Today I went to Smiths to get a bagel and I came home with all of this:) The best part about it is I only spent $20 dollars this is what I got.

6 two pack giant Charleston chew candy bars.
3 bagels
1 roll of parchment paper
3 two pk spider man sticky notes
2 after shave lotions
2 Hannah Montana fuzzy art boards
1 pk mini scented high lighters
3 two pk scrubbers
6 cans of Noxzema hair minimizing shaving gel
3 White tea and ginger hand soap
2 boxes of Welch's 40 count fruit snacks
How great is that I love days like this. I truly am a deal lover so thank you again Smiths for your amazing mark downs:)

And so a new goal begins

2010-03-14T23:07:00.000-07:00

I just got done with my 21 days of no soda so now I am ready to try another goal. This time I thought I will do 21 days of no sweets the only thing different with this one is I am giving myself one day a week to eat sweets. My mother in law told me she would do it with me so I have someone to report to. If anyone else wants to do it with us you can. The only reason I blog about these things is because I know if there are people out there that know what I am doing I have to stick to it so if they ask me I wont look like a dork and have to tell them I didn't reach my goal. So this is how it will go I will do this goal for a total of 23 days. That lets me have 3 day to eat sweets but still get the 21 days in of no sweets. This will be hard but I know I can do it so here is to a new 21 days and a new goal.

Crazy craft month

2010-03-11T22:01:00.000-08:00

OK so I know that I went a little over this month but I do have a reason. These magnets and the boxes that I made are for a boutique that Me and my mom and sister and her friend are having on the 27th But I did teach myself how to make these and it was really fun.

These boxes are origami boxes they are so easy to make and I think they are cute. I am putting the chocolates that I am selling on the 27th in them. I made 20 of them kind of a lot but what can you do I could not stop.

These are my baby jar crafts. This was the only thing I was going to do this month for the teach myself something new. I found this on a blog so I made 7 of them so I can put them on the table for Easter.
These are cute little night lights you put the fake candle lights in it and set it in your kids room as a night light.You can choose any paper to match your kids room or where ever you want to put it.
These I also found on a blog I love them and I will never have to spend money on bows again. These are so easy to make and the coolest thing about them is that you make them from magazines. You get to choose your own colors and I think they are cuter then the ones you buy.

These are my tissue paper carnations. I kind of came up with the pattern on my own and then went supper crazy making them. My cousin is having a bridle shower this week and they could not think of a center peace so the purple and yellow ones are going on the tables. The best part about these they will never die.
This is the one going on the table at the Bridle shower.

Say cheese

2010-03-08T10:09:00.000-08:00

My mother in law gave me these cute outfits yesterday so I thought I would take some pictures of my cute kids all matching and stuff.

Yes this is Brookies new favorite thing to do.
Best buddies forever.

Kal would not stop squinting her eyes so in all the pictures she has her eyes half shut.

7 amazing years

2010-03-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

7 years ago today I married the man of my dreams. I am the luckiest girl ever. Me and Ryan dated for a year in a half then on march 6 2003 got married it was such a great day. The very best part of that day was that I knew I would be spending the rest of my life with my very best friend. I love my Ry with all my heart and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful amazing man in my life. Thanks for everything Ry I love you. Happy anniversary.

One of this months new things Self Control

2010-03-01T22:19:00.000-08:00

I am a LOVER of Diet coke it is the only soda I will drink. My husband always tells me that I am addicted to coke and I never believed him until last month. Every time I go shopping I would buy a coke not even thinking anything of it and never thinking I was addicted (I would drink at least 1 or 2 a day). Last month while I was shopping my little girl went up to the freezer grabbed a Diet coke and said here mom I know you are going to get one of these because you always do. It really made me think I had stopped drinking as much water as I did before and replaced it with Diet coke. So that is why this month I am teaching myself self control. I was told it takes 21 days to break a bad habit so for 21 days I will not touch Diet coke. I am on day 10 because I started a little early and besides the bad headaches for the first week it has not been to bad. So every month I will learn something new and do something to help better myself and my life.

Origami Orchid Flower and a tie holder

2010-02-24T22:16:00.000-08:00

OK so this is my Origami Orchids they turned out OK I guess. I also tried bunnies they turned out OK but I still have to work on those.
This I saw on a blog the lady made it to hang something on it I can't remember what. When I saw it I thought It would be a good thing to make to put my hubbies ties on. They are always falling off the hocks and I am always picking them up off the floor. this is what my finished project looks like.
All you need is a hanger and some shower hooks and ribbon I tried to make it look a little manly.

You can add as many shower hooks as you want you just tie the ribbon to connect each shower hook together.

New project for Feb. Teaching myself how to make Origami.

2010-02-18T20:03:00.000-08:00

So I have decided to teach myself something new every month. January was sewing and Feb is making origami. I always thought it would be fun to do origami so I did a search and found some sights to help me and and when I was done these Lily's are what I came up with. Once you get the hang of it it is really kind of fun.

Valentines day fun.

2010-02-14T21:45:00.000-08:00

Make your crayons into funner crayons. I saw this on a craft blog and thought I would give it a try. All you do is brake up some of your old crayons and stick them into any kind of mold you want them to take shape as. Put into the oven for 8 to 12 min on 300. Then let them cool for 15 min. They really still color and little kids will love them.

I had to try these candy cane hearts I also saw this on a craft blog and these are so easy to make. You take two candy canes any size and stick the ends together on a cookie sheet. Turn the oven on 350 and let cook for 3 min. When they are out of the oven push the edges together so they stay together. Get some melting chocolate melt it in the microwave then put it in the middle part of the hart and let harden. these are really good they keep the same taste and they are cute.

Peanut butter bars are my hubbies favorite so we made him some for valentines day. I did a little decorating on top with some melting chocolates and I do have to say they tasted really good:)

More crafts and some fun pictures that I took with my new camera

2010-02-12T15:24:00.000-08:00

So I got a little camera happy at my sisters house today. I thought I would try out my new camera so I had my sisters kids come outside and I went camera crazy.

I know they aren't the best but I am going to practice hard to get really good at the picture taking thing.

These two are my favorite
Kal is so funny I tried so hard to get her to do what I asked but she was not liking the camera thing.
This is my little Blue eyed baby Who loves the camera. She is so cute and funny when it comes to cameras.

The kids there thought that it would be fun to play dress ups they all looked so cute.

Kal and Brookie got a little table and chair set from there grandma so late last night I thought I would make a little tent cove to put over it so they can have a little place to play.I used there old blankets that I have like a hundred of. It may not look the best but it is something they can have fun with.

Out with the Old in with the New kind of old.

2010-02-08T19:59:00.001-08:00

So I have decided instead of tossing my old clothes I would do something with them. I am teaching myself to sew and making new things out of all my old things. These are some fabric watch bands they are way comfortable.

I also made two diaper bag holders for little Brooks diapers. These are all made out of old shirts.

I also made a plastic bag holder so they don't sit under my sink anymore. This was lots of fun to do after this little sewing spurt I might have no shirts left.

I saw this on face book and think it is fun

Guess who is 1

Yesterday was our little Brookies birthday. She was not a big fan of the eating the cake part. At first she wouldn't even eat the cake so Ryan put her hand in it and she cried for about 10 min. I guess that is what happens when you don't give your kids any sweets until they are 1 they don't know what to do with it. Poor little girl.
This is what she looked like after she eat her cake a wet wipe was all it took to clean her up.
She didn't eat her cake she just played with it.
This is the start of the ten min brake down. She could not believe that her dad got her hand so dirty.

Once the crying stopped we had a very happy baby.

Happy birthday

This morning While I was getting the kids dressed, Kal pointed to a spot on her blanket and said mom what is that? I looked at the spot and said I don't know! She looked at me again and said, it is Care Bear pee. I just started cracking up it was so funny.

I have such a cute mom and dad

2009-11-11T22:00:00.001-08:00

This was the hardest one to get. They could not look at each other without laughing. I finally took it when they were talking so that they wouldn't laugh.
OK so my mom and dad are so cute. Today I thought I would take some pictures of them because I can honestly say I don't remember the last time they had pictures done. They were so funny. I had only taken 3 pictures and my mom had to come and see the picture to check her smile to see if she needed to change it. Then when I would tell her to turn her head to the side she would tell me no I don't like that side of my face. Then she would switch sides every other picture because she didn't like the way her hair looked on that side. It was so funny.
These are some of the funny ones that I still thought were cute because it shows how much fun my mom and dad have together.

Here are the real ones I thought they turned out ok.

This is one of my favorites I think they look so cute.

I love my mom and dad so much they are so funny and so cute.

This is another one of my favorites.

What a cute couple 7 kids and 24 grand kids latter they still look great. I am so lucky to have such great parents. They are truly they most amazing people ever. I am so grateful that my Heavenly father gave me the parents he did. I love you mom and dad.

I went a little over bored this week and made a lot of bows again. My girls helped me model them . The pictures below will show you how mach my girls like bows I don't even know why I make them.
Little baby clips
Some bows for my Kal
These are my new favorite bows to make they are so easy and so fun

This is how much Kal likes bows she tried to smile.
Brooke was ticked she was not going to smile at all

This little hat was a little small. It looked like a hair net.

Yep there is that fake smile again
This one is a real smile what a cute girl
Kal got into my makeup the other day when she came out of the bathroom all I could do is laugh. She said mom I look so pretty don't I. Know she always opens her little fake makeup looks in the mirror and says I need to check my eyebrows.

I think She just peed on me

2009-10-21T22:11:00.000-07:00

Little Kal does not like it at all when her sister tries to get into her stuff. She will go over, grab her legs, and pull her nicely away from what she is doing. She has seen me do this so now she does it too. Little Brooklyn thinks it is a game so she will crawl right back over to her stuff again and this goes on and on. Well yesterday this kept on happening. we were trying to let Kal know she needed to be soft and just to let Brooke play. Kal keep on doing it so the last time she did it Ry decided to spit the little bit of water he had in his mouth at her trough his teeth so she would get a little wet. So he did. Kal at that time had Brooke's feet in her hand and she dropped them as fast as she could, looked over at me with this weird face and said "Mom she peed on me!" I looked at her and said "what?" I did not know that Ry had just done that. So Kal walked over and had me feel her hair and said Brooke peed on me. Ryan and I just stared to laugh so hard. She did not know how it happened but her little sister who was lying on the ground apparently peed on Kal who was standing straight up it was so funny, or so she thought.

2009-10-08T11:41:00.000-07:00

One word can say a lot

2009-09-24T11:07:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends: Curious ... Please write (comment), one single, unique word that would describe me according to you. This is just a fun post I saw on facebook I thought I would put it on here because I don't have anything to post.

Sometimes we get things we don't ask for but there is a reason.

2009-09-18T20:41:00.000-07:00

Today I did some research on something I was told I had years ago and was kind of shocked when I saw what I did. The doctors years ago let me know that I had what is known as PCOS I always just thought that means I grow cysts on my ovaries and if I just took birth control it would all go away boy was I wrong. Here is what I found out.

What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (say "pah-lee-SIS-tik OH-vuh-ree SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOS may also cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it is not treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (or PCOS) is common, affecting as many as 1 in 15 women. Often the symptoms begin in the teen years. Treatment can help control the symptoms and prevent long-term problems.

The body may have a problem using insulin, called insulin resistance. When the body doesn't use insulin well, blood sugar levels go up. Over time, this increases your chance of getting diabetes.

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms tend to be mild at first. You may have only a few symptoms or a lot of them. The most common symptoms are:

Acne.
Weight gain and trouble losing weight.
Extra hair on the face and body. Often women get thicker and darker facial hair and more hair on the chest, belly, and back.
Thinning hair on the scalp.
Irregular periods. Often women with PCOS have fewer than nine periods a year. Some women have no periods. Others have very heavy bleeding.
Fertility problems. Many women with PCOS have trouble getting pregnant (infertility).
Depression.

Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful, but lead to hormone imbalances.

What causes PCOS?

The symptoms of PCOS are caused by changes in hormone levels. There may be one or more causes for the hormone level changes.

PCOS seems to run in families, so your chance of having it is higher if other women in your family have PCOS, irregular periods, or diabetes. PCOS can be passed down from either your mother's or father's side.

What conditions can be associated with PCOS?

Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for a number of illnesses, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer). Much of this risk can be reversed by exercise and weight loss. Additionally, it is important for women with PCOS to have regular periods. If a woman does not have regular periods, her risk of cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer) is increased. Medication is generally prescribed to induce regular periods. Obesity is a complication of PCOS. Reducing the medical risks from PCOS-associated obesity requires hard work on the part of the woman with PCOS and is often frustrating. For more information about obesity and management, please read the Obesity article.

Don't you think the Doctor should have told me and my sister a little bit more about what we have. I so love Doctors. So for all of you out there that have been told you have PCOS here is a little more info for you so you know what is happening with your body.

This is little Brooklyn she just turned 5 months. Time goes so fast I can't even believe it. She is such a happy baby always smiling at me. She loves to laugh and roll and likes to make farting noises on her arm when she is having her tummy time. She is a great sleeper she goes to sleep at like 10:30 and wakes up at 7:45 to eat then goes right back to bed. Most of the time I have to go in at about 11:30 to get her up for the day I think she would sleep all day if I let her.

This is my cute little crazy Kali. She loves to play and run around. She loves to sing and read and dance. Yesterday she was saying her prayers and I was helping her I told her I am thankful for scriptures and out of her mouth came I am thankful for LAGOON. I thought it was so cute she loves Lagoon we have passes and she is always asking to go. I cant believe she turns three at the end of July.

I thought this was so funny Brooklyn looks like a pirate I don't think she know what to do. She just closed her eye and sat there until I saw it and took it off.
