First off, I'm such a mom for girls. I love dressing my girls up and making them look beautiful. Not that that's so hard since they have the Stevens genes in them. I created this blog not for bragging, but for counting my blessings. Counting our blessings has helped us to be happy and to live more righteously. We feel very blessed to be here in the Northwest, which is why I try to go see and serve the homeless in Seattle every Wednesday. My repay for all our blessings.



Talk about famous. My daughter loves to show off her mom's picture in a magazine to everyone that comes to our house. I guess she's proud to have me as a mom. Anyway so I thought I would sign her up with my agency for commercial prints. Here she is on Copeland Williams website. She had her first audition today and since they needed to see kids Debrie's age also, Debrie is also now represented by Copeland Williams. They look fabulous at their audition whether or not they get the part, I'm so proud of how well they did and the fact that they smiled in front of the camera. I'm so glad my Reena isn't as shy anymore.

Cousins!
Last year we took Reena down to Phoenix to go treat or treating with her cousins. She had so much fun she told us "I want to go trick or treating with my cousins every year". Well we didn't agree with the idea then but it's looking like she will be trick or treating with her cousins this year after all. Dave, Dan's cousin on his dad side just moved to Seattle for a job with Microsoft with his wife Kim and 2 kids, Damon, Melynn. Reena heard that she'll have cousins here and immediately loved them. Damon and Melynn, Reena and Debrie play really well together. We've really enjoyed the dinners and games we've had together so far. We've done something together every week. We met up the second Sunday at Snoqalmie Falls and the kids really enjoyed getting to know each other. What we're really looking forward to is the babysitting exchanges. It's nice to have families nearby. They're in our stake. Dave and Kim are awesome!
Third, Dan has credits on an xbox game "Kingdom for Kiefflings". Dave was talking about a game that his daughter likes to play. He told Dan that Melynn likes to kick the sheep and Dan's thought was "there's a game that I made that I also liked to do that". He asked Dave "what's the name of the game" Dave said "Kingdom for Kiefflings" and Dan said "I programmed that!" So out came Dave's xbox and here you see Dan's name in the credit. Wow my husband's famous!:)

Reena goofing off with daddy. She put on those tiny glasses and then said "two daddies" We all had a good laugh.
Brie is Walking!
She's 11 months old. My kids walk really early. They came out fast and they're just excited to do everything early. She took 8-9 steps while great grandma and great grandpa are here and at the end of their trip she was pretty much walking. Now that's how she gets our full attention. She also LOVES stuffed animal. It's really cute watching her give her bear hugs and kisses. She'll give you a big kiss with her mouth wide open if you ask her for one, too.
Dan and I are taking a preach my gospel class. We're pretty excited about this. We invited our nonmember neighbors that I got to know at the park over for dinner and FHE. We had a great time!

There are so many things to do around here. If we drop everything and do everything we want to do it would take years. We love this area. We can't express enough how much we love it. This is heaven on earth...for us.
