Happy Halloween!

A few spider cupcakes for a friend's birthday... 

A few Mummy cupcakes to go with them... 

A scary Jack-o-lantern cake 

And because I thought we needed one more treat this halloween season, rectangle sugar cookies! 

Halloween Piano Recital, it was spook-tacular!! 

Aren't they cute! I had six perform this time! 

In case you hadn't heard...R-5 will be a GIRL!! Coming Late March 2013. 

A Pink Princess, a Pirate, Cat-woman, and a Blue Princess. John Lee's shirt says"this IS my costume"

It's Fall Y'all!

 Heehee Alisa! You need a hair-thing!

 I made these little tea cakes for a tea-party I went to...fantastic company, too.

 And this is why I will never know how many strawberries actually grow in our patch...

 The last of the Elder Rorings made it home, yeah!

"I love to see the Temple"--Brigham City has a Beautiful Temple!

 A Double Rainbow right over our house!

 First Day of School!!

 Happy Birthday, Lily!

Per-ry, Perry the Platypus

 Lily needed to write her name for her homework; when I checked to see how she was doing I saw this...and asked "What's this?" reply "I wrote my name, and drew all my farm friends." "I see."

This is my living room wall. The fish are piano related...but look closely between the fish and my couch - another "Mural by Maya"...ugh.

Some of these...

Greetings Blog Readers! Life slowed down just long enough for me to share with you our latest adventures...

Lily's last day of PreK, she got to be in one of these... 

I made some of these... 

 John Lee and I snuck away on one of these...

 Maya's b-day guests enjoyed some of these...

Maya had one of these...

Alisa is often found playing in this... 

For our piano recital refreshments we had some of these... 

I have a huge piano studio, as you can see. I am so proud of all my students!! It was fun to play on one of these...

And no summer is complete without all of these...

Family Gathering #1 - Rorings

Family Gathering #2a - Oxborrows 

Family Gathering #2b - Oxborrows 

Family Gathering #3 - Jensens/Rorings Not Photographed

Family Gathering #4 - Oxborrows, minus my sister serving in the Peace Corp, assigned in Mongolia.

Whew! And John Lee had a birthday too. His traditional "Punch Bowl Cake" was served, but I didn't get a picture...it would have looked the same as all the other birthdays he's had that cake!

Anyone have any tips on keeping up with laundry?! I just can't seem to manage...someday, right?

It's spring, spring, spring again!

Happy 1st Birthday Alisa!! This one was not shy about digging right in to her 'smash cake'! So cute. The guests enjoyed chocolate-dipped cake pops and cupcakes; they were gobbled up in minutes. I guess people liked them!

This is how my kids usually are: K and L in jammies, M in practically nothing, and A in the high chair. I love my little monkeys!

For Spring Break we went swimming, and very much enjoyed the water!

After swimming we got a pizza, nearly as big as our table!! This 28" pizza lasted us for several days, and it was tasty:)

Easter baskets have candy...need I say more.

These tasty brownie kabobs were created just for my sister, Sara's, birthday. Mmmmm.

And I've been playing in sugar, again. But they turned out so lovely. I ended up hand painting the fondant flowers.

Winter Fun with the Roring's!

Alisa is a thumb-sucker!! Haha!

Extreme Sledding up the canyon!! Loved being towed up the hill with a snowmobile!

Keoni played Jr. Jazz this year! Wahoo!

Ah, yes, another "Mural by Maya." This one is called 'Rainbows' and was done in sharpies, in my front room. Joy.

Dr. Roring took a trip to the elementary school and showed the 1st and 2nd graders how to take care of their teeth. SMILE!!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Keoni!!

We headed to the race track for K's birthday...So FUN!

This is my newly decorated 'Red and White' Tree. It's so pretty :)

Nativity Scene - the sheep were played by 'Little People' this year.

This is my 'Pencil' tree, which we love because it is so skinny...we didn't have to move anything to put it up. We put our family decorations on this one. It's fun!

Merry Christmas, Alisa! Hope your first was a good one!
