Yep. These pictures have been in cyberspace for a long time.....At least you can now see how much fun we had. It was going to be a surprise, but in the end, I just invited people to come and we had a great time! Happy (very late) 40th Birthday!</div>

<br />The Days of your Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551815411581076614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536764824902039027.post-75322658628519169842014-03-06T11:05:00.000-08:002014-03-06T11:05:55.636-08:00So, now we are in March and I haven't posted once. Nice try on the New Years Resolution!<br />
But, having said that, there has been a lot going on.<br />
We are moving our home based business, Day Violins, to a new location...OUTSIDE of our basement! It is a scary and exciting and stressful and very time consuming endeavor!<br />
Also, a year ago, I was asked to help with Mormon Prom for our stake. It is a year-long project, taking all my free time and energy.<br />
The Relief Society presidency work has also taken up a lot of time. So many meetings and being in charge of the monthly meetings.....I never went before because I was so busy, now I am making time to be there.<br />
And, we got a dog....It's a whole entire story about how he came into our lives. <br />
So, patience with me, please! My goal is to catch up and stay on top of it all! Just having a few hiccups along the way!The Days of your Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551815411581076614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536764824902039027.post-45503894833149714352014-01-06T07:35:00.000-08:002014-01-06T07:35:24.712-08:00HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014I have a really difficult New Year's Resolution this year...one of the hardest I have ever made. <br />
It won't be easy to keep, but I know that going in.<br />
I am going to start saying "NO" to requests. <br />
For me, it is a big thing.<br />
I overbooked myself last year. <br />
I let important things slide. <br />
I wore myself out and was grouchy at myself and my family.<br />
I stopped exercising.<br />
Just stuff like that that cannot happen again.<br />
I need time for myself and my family to be organized and ready to take on the world. <br />
My kids are growing up too fast and I don't want to miss it.<br />
I also am going to start blogging again. I need to take the time to document what is happening in our family. I cannot be too busy for that.<br />
So, here I go on my new adventure! <br />
Some of the posts are going to be "catch up" posts with not a lot of great writing, but I need to get back on track and caught up.<br />
So, a very Happy New Year to everyone! <br />
I can't wait to see more of you!<br />
Jenna<br />

I took Savannah and Paytin to the library today. Paytin is staying with us again. Her mom is trying to figure out life....again. She is a doll and we love her.

Garrett Day and Garrett Janiak are true friends. They have known each other since birth. There is a special bind between them. Garrett Janiak is "Janiak" to us and Garrett Day is "Garrett Ross" to them. It somehow distinguishes them. They have different interests and yet the same interests. They live 45 minutes away, but we do our best to get them together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Janiak is being raised by his Grandma, Doris Janiak. She is an amazing woman. We love her and she is doing a great job raising him. He sees his biological mother about every other week or so. Because of this, it took a long time for him to be baptized. But, her decided to do it this year. We are so proud of him! Congratulations, Janiak on your decision! We love you!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXZ8olbSKvGW9LKkgYYgNCAgoNAMBRFgsXsjxf3sbJO-d7T7MylkXfclDDd2RH4PdsA9Kh5whfhW-MABTvN7KWu6USpFQHy6w1MJpXIU-Iu4MIY1yhH3qk2H-sOw1B8u4GHWESnWKEx6r/s1600/IMG_2252.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXZ8olbSKvGW9LKkgYYgNCAgoNAMBRFgsXsjxf3sbJO-d7T7MylkXfclDDd2RH4PdsA9Kh5whfhW-MABTvN7KWu6USpFQHy6w1MJpXIU-Iu4MIY1yhH3qk2H-sOw1B8u4GHWESnWKEx6r/s320/IMG_2252.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

Xander's band teacher, Mrs. Phillips, told Xander he needed to try out for a competition sponsored by the Fairfax County Band Directors Association. He practiced hard and was very excited. When he went in to play, he had a memory lapse and had to start over again. He was really bummed and was sure he didn't place at all. However, the judges praised him up and down about how well he sounded and his tone and technic. They also were amazed at how well he recovered from his memory lapse.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbE7LdeS5JBal-W2gMweWzPb8Ug2vNUqD1CuWzQYUPawPCIEhyphenhyphenqYYf4KaskwCFCfJfcyy2Vb0zSfPxSU0ZNZTWRqv9OZbu2vJU1qugz8Y9CCMpd07sRwHZ3QkH7ze4vSBEkwGiiW3jrQq/s1600/IMG_2248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbE7LdeS5JBal-W2gMweWzPb8Ug2vNUqD1CuWzQYUPawPCIEhyphenhyphenqYYf4KaskwCFCfJfcyy2Vb0zSfPxSU0ZNZTWRqv9OZbu2vJU1qugz8Y9CCMpd07sRwHZ3QkH7ze4vSBEkwGiiW3jrQq/s320/IMG_2248.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>

In my quest to immerse myself into history, I found out that there was an exhibit of the War of 1812 at the Naval Academy! That meant I could go and visit one of my most favorite people in the world, Emily Buzzard, and see the exhibit! We had a great time and it was so cool to see the pictures come to life from the historical fiction I had read!</div>

There is a certain type of love that you feel when a child is born. One that is very difficult to describe in words. It is different for everyone. Some feel it instantly, some feel it grow over time. There is also a certain type of love that you feel for one that could be your own. Someone you have held and loved and worried over and done "motherly" things. That's the way it is with Candice. She came to us when she was 11 and lived with us for awhile. It was not the easiest time of our lives. We clashed, we had to set some rules, but we loved her before she came and we loved her like our own by the time she left. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has always been a part of our lives. Coming and going, texting or calling or coming to visit at random times. She has grown into a beautiful young woman. She has had a lot of trials and tribulations in her life. She is a survivor. She had Paytin and has had to grow up really fast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to hand it to her, though. She is an amazing mom. She loves her little one and provides for her and makes sure she is well-cared for and also gives her structure and discipline. For the circumstances she is in, she is doing a great job!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And how could you not love this little one? She is absolutely adorable. She is the most amazing little girl I have ever met. She is happy and so sweet. She is super smart and very perceptive. I'm not just saying this. She really is an unusual child. Her little spirit is very wise in that little chubby body of hers.</div>

They came to see us the day before Mother's Day. She loved the trampoline. She loved the "helicopter" seed pods.

Candice brought me flowers and a card that was so sweet. She is just like a daughter to me. She and I have become friends in a way that works for both of us.

She called me a few days later and asked if Paytin could live with us for awhile. She needed to figure some stuff out. She needed to be able to figure out a few things. For the next month, we had Paytin. She became part of the family and we loved her. So, years later, we are raising another child. Not permanently, but Candice and Paytin will always be a part of our lives and we will always welcome them with open arms.<br />
As a mother of four, I thought my heart would burst each time one of my children was born. I felt so much love for them and knew they belonged. With Candice and Paytin, it is the same amount of love, but it has grown over time. I know that they belong to us. I know that they will always be a part of our lives and I am so glad.The Days of your Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551815411581076614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536764824902039027.post-35402227918497967592013-06-28T18:18:00.001-07:002013-06-28T18:18:19.950-07:00HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love preschool! I love how the children are so happy to see their moms and dads and how they want to show off. Mother's day was a busy time for us. Almost crazy busy! There was a lot going on and our business is stressful. But, I am so glad I came to this cute program, even though I just had my phone with me again!

My sweet Savannah was one of the loudest singers and so cute! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her teacher told me that she is the one who organizes everyone so they can learn the songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She makes sure they pick up their toys and they are quiet in line. Hmmmm.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder where she learned that!!???!?</div>

So, Xander is really into his music. He practices every day, he loves band. He loves Jazz band. He even calls himself a "band geek" and is proud of it. So, the night of his last concert for Jazz Band and regular band was bittersweet for him. He has had two amazing band teachers. I personally think they are the best in the area. They have inspired him and motivated him and challenged him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flute is not a major part of a jazz band, but they still have them. Last year they didn't want to have a flute. This year, he begged. And then they asked him to solo in the concert!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN08M3yqR-sRI6BT_VCATB0X3prsjaFocGVmFhFIM6bqb4m-HbwocPjZdjl1-JkA-VDNOR_nz5awr_Bs_toBfLsjFJOdgauqBotVNuM2_-zAZThDfl_tXbu6iO9eEykssf6DaHTFBzPcZr/s1600/DSC_0258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN08M3yqR-sRI6BT_VCATB0X3prsjaFocGVmFhFIM6bqb4m-HbwocPjZdjl1-JkA-VDNOR_nz5awr_Bs_toBfLsjFJOdgauqBotVNuM2_-zAZThDfl_tXbu6iO9eEykssf6DaHTFBzPcZr/s320/DSC_0258.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

One day we went to the library to pick up the next Harry Potter book for Eleanor. Then we headed to Sweet Frog, a frozen yogurt place that has a million toppings to choose from. I just had my phone with me, but I always want to remember how much fun I had with these two cute girls! Love them!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndaQV4RlARrfdoDgHG1IxH7gsRluRHdYPPQ6KOGZhL1052rWycTPgr8itDOL1DTX1VNso-00LP0mts9HyNVqJ4MTYa2fn1jpjMtS4Z5og4cpQJ3hypymGEToaOA9R9Khp0T_YSAee2sp9/s1600/IMG_2148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndaQV4RlARrfdoDgHG1IxH7gsRluRHdYPPQ6KOGZhL1052rWycTPgr8itDOL1DTX1VNso-00LP0mts9HyNVqJ4MTYa2fn1jpjMtS4Z5og4cpQJ3hypymGEToaOA9R9Khp0T_YSAee2sp9/s320/IMG_2148.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

I don't know if you remember the story of Flower. She was actually from Santa when Eleanor was four. She is a Bitty Baby from the American Girl Store. That year Savannah was one. She got an age appropriate toy from Santa. But, when Eleanor opened up her doll and squealed and promptly named her Flower, Savannah immediately claimed her also. Nothing we could do would persuade her from Flower. She claimed her. She loved her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, for Savannah's 2nd birthday, we negotiated a new doll with Eleanor and wrapped Flower up in a box. When Savannah opened her up, she squealed, "Flower!" and has never looked back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needless to say, Flower has been well-loved. And her arm wore out. It was in a place that could not be fixed by mom. So, one day, we headed to the American Girl Doll store to take her to the doll hospital.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was nervous about how this was all going to take place and the cost involved. I was ready to walk out and super glue her together if it was too expensive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we had the dilemma of getting her there. Flower had a special outfit, she had her diaper bag and her carrier. She was fed and changed before we went. It was so sweet. I love that Savannah loves her so much!</div>

We were introduced to the doctor at the store and he was awesome!!! He got down on Savannah's level and asked her questions and showed her what was going to happen. He filled out the form and helped her into her special gown. Savannah was so cute! And I knew Flower was going to be ok. Not to mention, the price wasn't bad!<br />

A few weeks later, we got a box in the mail and there was Flower. All better. All fixed. All ready to be played with again. There was a note and a certificate and instructions on helping her with her recovery. Marketing geniuses, I tell you! Thank you, American Girl Store! It was a very positive experience!The Days of your Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551815411581076614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536764824902039027.post-73337006776663738582013-06-18T18:02:00.003-07:002013-06-18T18:02:44.072-07:00Easter 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the first time in about four years, Jason was able to come with us to Hilton Head!!! The bummer? It was freezing the entire time we were there! I brought some sweatshirts, but we used them everyday! Brrrr! It didn't stop the children from running into the water the first day and loving the frigid waves! It was like being on the Oregon Coast!</div>

The highlight of the trip was the dolphin cruise. The kids earned the cruise by learning math facts and doing extra homework on the way down. I am so glad we did! Our captain was amazing. He was so fun and we saw dolphins! Eleanor and Savannah (and myself!) were thrilled!!!</div>

Savannah is my child that likes to march to her own beat. Every day her preschool teachers stops me with a funny story about Savannah. She has a very unique personality and is loved by adults and children. Mismatched day was a great day for her! She loved it! Probably because she changes her outfits about 30 times a day and most of them end up being mismatched! </div>

She made a special bracelet (in yellow, of course - its her favorite color!) to unmatch the rest of the outfit! She had crazy hair and necklaces galore!</div>

Eleanor does not do anything "normal" when it comes to school. Especially when it comes to art! Last year when she was chosen to be "star of the week" she planned it for months! She insisted on a try-fold, even though it was only required to do a poster. So, this year was no different! Full spread, in color, fancy art work and amazing looking try-fold. Complete with sparkles and jewels and other accessories! I guess she takes after her mother......</div>

I make my children go to Cotillion. I want them to learn how to dance. I want them to have manners and I want them to be exposed to situations so they will feel comfortable when they are invited to a formal event. Living in the Washington DC area, it is not uncommon to attend formal events. I know I have attended many just because I live here! It's a great opportunity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Xander and Garrett both attended this year. Xander was a student assistant and Garrett was a participant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Spring Ball is the last formal event they attend. Where they dance to all the dances they have learned, the fox trot, the waltz, the cha cha, the swing.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizb18L0j5uAN74PD4HAT-W3RbHXHbROogfhfuqlTZcB_FvnbFoKBGs0l1YXFmrEzgtZ0LI4ZoObj8q-yPQbTDWC41o0iTaKGRBcme1NOoBpsuGpsHcEmyM7RwzE7Z56HyIJ31gX0YlVg9/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizb18L0j5uAN74PD4HAT-W3RbHXHbROogfhfuqlTZcB_FvnbFoKBGs0l1YXFmrEzgtZ0LI4ZoObj8q-yPQbTDWC41o0iTaKGRBcme1NOoBpsuGpsHcEmyM7RwzE7Z56HyIJ31gX0YlVg9/s320/DSC_0001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They even have dance contests. This one is where they have to dance with a ball on their forehead. When it falls, they are out. There are always more girls than boys and so Xander dances all the time! He and this girl won this contest! The look on their faces is great! Sometimes the ball is so low they look like they are kissing!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They learn how to pin corsages and boutonnieres. Here's Garrett doing the swing with one of my favorite young ladies. That's the other nice thing! They are exposed to nice, well-mannered young people!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And my favorite part of the Spring ball is that there is a parent dance. I get to dance with my boys! I love it! Garrett is growing up so fast and he is a really good dancer! I enjoy every minute that I have watching him become a young man.</div>

This little girl has stolen my heart. She is the daughter of Candice, who we have known for many years. Over ten. Candice and her family have been a part of our lives and we love them like they were our own. Candice even lived with us for awhile. And we have been able to be a part of her life and love her and watch her grow. This little one, Paytin, is now in our lives. She has been living with us off and on for about a month. Candice is trying to make some positive changes in her life and we are helping her out by having Paytin live with us. </div>

It has been very interesting to have a little toddler back in the house! I was used to having everyone brush their own teeth and be potty trained. It's back to diapers and naps! Candice is a good mom. She is a survivor. She is going to make it and she will get back on her feet and have Paytin in her life again. I am just glad she loves her daughter enough to call us so we can help her out when she needs it.<br />

That is why my posts have been so sporadic! It's been crazy busy around here! I'm hoping to get caught up and back on track. If not, I will just enjoy the snuggles and baby talk and chubby hands that reach for me to hold her tight and enjoy every minute of this beautiful little angel named Paytin.The Days of your Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551815411581076614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536764824902039027.post-13954399402958267442013-05-08T19:39:00.002-07:002013-05-08T19:39:54.591-07:00My heart is full this evening.<br />
I have been able to take this evening and relax and work on a special project for the Relief Society. It is a spin off from an exercise I have loved for years called, "A Fortnight Walk with Christ." It is basically fourteen days of learning about Christ and journaling about your feelings.<br />
When we met as a presidency, we talked about how the sisters could learn how to stand in holy places better. I suggested this exercise and volunteered to "tweak" it to make it fit our needs.<br />
So, all evening, I have been reading and immersing myself in positive thoughts and talks and scriptures and quotes. I have needed this.<br />
We will present it on Mother's Day to the sisters in our ward. On the first Sunday in June, we will have our Visiting Teaching Conference and talk about how to Stand in Holy Places as a Visiting Teacher. Several sisters will report on the activity that we are giving them and bear their testimonies about this.<br />
It has been humbling to try and figure out what to put in the packet, what subject matter needs to be said for every day.<br />
My hopes for this are that each sister will learn that wherever they stand is a holy place. With the influence of the spirit and their desire to be better, they will automatically be witnesses of Christ and the light of Christ will show through them.<br />
I was very sad to leave primary and I still miss it terribly, but I have needed this spiritual nourishment. I have needed to be reminded to refuel and regroup. I have needed to be reminded to be a better mom, a better wife, a kinder person. <br />
Sitting in my pi's writing this packet has been good.<br />
How grateful I am for a loving Heavenly Father who reminds me that I am worth it.<br />
One of the quotes I used tonight will be going on my wall. It reads:<br />
"If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."<br />
Roald Dahl<br />
May we have good thoughts this evening and forever......<br />

I know that. They know that. We are ok with that. But if they are interested in a sport, I will let them try it out or pursue it. Except, living in the Washington DC area is a freakin' nightmare when it comes to sports. <br />
Most children in the area start at age three. Then they are privately trained at summer camps for winter sports and winter camps for summer sports. By the time you are eight, you are on a select team that only plays on Sundays and you have to travel every week. I won't do it and I can't afford it! I have so many families whose grandparents pay for all these special trainings, all these special uniforms, and extra classes.<br />
When Xander was ten, he decided he wanted to play baseball. So, I looked into it. I was told it was too late. He needed to attend a special camp to get his skills up. He really wanted to play, and it was his first interest, so I signed him up for a several week camp. He was miserable. The boys were already players and the coach basically wrote him off. I was told by the commissioner that he could join, but there was no guarantee what team he would be placed on, since ten year olds now are put into skill levels. I was furious. Can't he just play baseball? Some friends of his encouraged him not to sign up because they said the other teammates might be rude and belittle him because he wasn't very good. It was a heartbreaking situation. He never asked to play again. I swore I would never sign my children up for a special skills class either! <br />
So, back to the insane schedules of sports around here.....<br />
I like family dinners at home. I am in the car enough that I don't need to give up more time to watch a game. And Sunday is out.<br />
So, this year they decide to do swim team. They are all excited. We all pass the swim test, which is the first round of competition. Then we find out it is so competitive to get on the team, that there are special sign up times! Yes, I became one of those crazy moms trying to sign my children up for swim team tonight. The system kicked us off a minimum of three times and we ended up on a waiting list. <br />
Seriously!?!?! If they want to swim, can they just join? My mom made my brother and I ride our bikes a mile into the community pool to join swim team. We didn't have to have any special skills, we just swam. And learned to swim better. I personally did well in the butterfly and the backstroke.<br />
So, tonight, I have disappointed children. They did what they were supposed to do. And now they can't even follow their interests.<br />
It's like the opening ceremonies of the Hunger Games where there is basically a blood bath! <br />
I'm just a little bit irritated, can you tell!?!?<br />
