My friend, Holly, has the COOLEST ice skating rink in her back yard. We had so much fun skating around. Seriously, is this not the most awesome home made rink you've ever seen?<br />

Okay, seriously...I'm from Idaho, I know cold. But I have NEVER been so cold as I was at this game. I do not know how the players could even stand catching the ball with their frozen fingers. It was so cold that near the end of the game when timeouts were called, the crowd would boo. We had our snowmobile gear on and we were still freezing to death. It was a memory for sure! But despite the negative temps, we had so much fun and I am so glad I got to go!<br />

Halle had to come up with a large scale model of a bumblebee over Thanksgiving break. I'm not going to lie, I wanted to say some choice words with this project. Thanksgiving break is NOT the time to through a major project on a mama. But we got it done, and I think it turned out really great!</div>

We had to throw in a funny one just for kicks. We titled this one, "A Very Freidenberger Thanksgiving." It was really nice to be able to spend time with side of the family. It doesn't happen every day that's for sure!</div>

And last but not least, Kate was baptized this month. It was Thanksgiving weekend and Aunt Natalie's birthday to boot. Made for a bit of a crazy ride, but everything turned out great and Kate was very happy. She is such a pretty little girl and really enjoyed getting her hair done for her very special day. My sister did my other girls' hair for their baptisms, but since she has moved far way I had to try my best and I think I did okay. Kate felt like a princess and that is exactly how I wanted her to feel. I wanted her to recognize the importance and specialness (is that even a word?) of the day. <br />
<br />
She was a little nervous and Jarom said she got the giggles a time or two during the talks before the baptism. But when it was her turn, she walked in so very reverently and stood very still while Jarom said the prayer. She forgot to plug her nose on her way into the water so she flailed around for a second, but Dad got her fully immersed and she didn't have to do it a second time. <br />
<br />
Kate knows that baptism is a symbol of taking Christ's name. She knows that she now belongs to His church and has covenanted with Him to obey His Gospel and love others as He would. <br />
<br />
I am very proud of her and love her very very much! I can not believe that all four of my babies are now baptized. The time has FLOWN! I don't like it much, but I think Time doesn't seem to care. It just keeps on ticking and life keeps moving and moving. So I try to enjoy all the little things and the big things as much as I can. Kate's baptism is certainly one of those times!<br />

Carter was a creepy guy named Slenderman. I don't even really know who or what that is, and I have no idea on earth how he knows about it, but he was happy with his costume, so that's what's important.<br />

September means Eastern Idaho State Fair. This year my mom's friend entered a drawing that she did of Kate. Kate was pretty excited to see herself at the fair.<br />

Back to school time! I have 4 kids in 3 1/2 schools this year. My life is crazy. Kate and Carter both attend the elementary school, Halle is now in the middleschool, and Alyssa goes to two highschools, one for her core classes and one for orchestra. I can't believe how grown up they are all getting!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The kids' reports of their first days: Alyssa : It was so cool; I wasn't the only kid giving answers and discussing! Halle: I hated it; it was just work, work, work, eat, work, work work. Carter: Epic! Kate: Fine, but we got lectured b/c the boys just started screaming and being wild in the boy's bathroom. LOL! So there you have it.</span></span><br />

The roof of his mouth had actually grown all the way over his wire. They had to numb him up, slice his pallet, and pry the wire out. Not so fun. Poor kid. He has the most incredibly wild mouth of anyone I know.</span></span><br />

The headboard is just "stuff", that little etch is a forever acknowledgement that someone loves her mom.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Today Kate said she couldn't wait to be baptized (which will happen at the end of the year). Thinking it was a great teaching moment I asked her what it meant to get baptized. She told me it meant that her sins would be washed away and that she should act like Jesus.

And that folks, is your Sunday School lesson for the day. </span><i class="_4-k1 img sp_Uv0xZx7Cw5K sx_74773b" style="background-color: white; background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yT/r/u-FvntoxabH.png); background-position: 0px -7999px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; color: #141823; display: inline-block; height: 16px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i></span><br />

<br />
<br />
First post in April was a sad one.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Having to put your doggie down on April Fools is not a funny joke. </span><i class="_4-k1 img sp_Uv0xZx7Cw5K sx_a2cbba" style="background-color: white; background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yT/r/u-FvntoxabH.png); background-position: 0px -7778px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; color: #141823; display: inline-block; height: 16px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> Sad day at the Manwaring's.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Ugh, that was a rough day. That dog....what can I even say. I loved him because I love all animals, and he did have a sweet, happy go lucky personality. But he barked....ALL. THE. TIME! Like seriously, all of the time. And he wouldn't stop peeing in my basement. I had a very love/hate relationship with him. I thought I would feel very relieved when he was gone. But nope, I cried for 3 days straight after he had to be put down. Stupid dog. Hope he is happily barking his way through heaven these days. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">This was the next post a day or so later that I wrote:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay, so we have a fire alarm that is chirping and driving me NUTS. I was sitting here trying to get some bills paid while it's chirping away and I just automatically scolded Johnny to be quiet. HAHAHAHA! Probably only funny to those who knew my barky dog.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I love to track my friend Karen when she runs the Boston Marathon. I get on the computer and track her updates and then watch for her to pass through the Heart Break Hill live feed camera. This was the year of the Boston Bombing at the finish and line and Karen is so blessed to be unharmed! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">For those of you who tracked </span><a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1653122430" href="https://www.facebook.com/karen.newmansmith" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-decoration: none;">Karen Newman Smith</a><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> from my status updates, I need to clarify her finish time. Her length of run was 4:09.22, but her actual finish line time due to the delay between the gun start and her start line cross was 4:09.36. So she crossed the finish line a mere 8 seconds before the first bomb. My heart continues to ache for all those affected and I am So very grateful that neither Karen or Scott were hurt.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Registered Alyssa for highschool! Am I really so old as to be able to say: a) I am registering my kid for HIGHSCHOOL and b) Boy, highschool has changed since I was there?! Seriously, it was like a college course catalog and all done online. Plus, she had to have all 4 years planned out b/c just like college, some upper classes have prereq requirements. And don't forget about all the possible online classes that have to be squeezed in somewhere b/c there isn't room to fit all the requirements in. Whew! Back in my day we walked into the cafeteria, circled our preferred classes, had about 5 total elective choices and voila, done. Of course we also didn't wear seatbelts or have cell phones. </span><i class="_4-k1 img sp_Uv0xZx7Cw5K sx_74773b" style="background-color: white; background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yT/r/u-FvntoxabH.png); background-position: 0px -7999px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; color: #141823; display: inline-block; height: 16px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i></span><br />

Here I go, (in 2015) trying to get caught up on the blog again! I've decided to mostly take my Facebook posts and paste them in here in an effort to capture 2013 and 2014.<br />

<br />
<br />
A funny from Halle:<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Halle: "Mom please tell me there is no school today, I could really use the extra sleep." </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">"School is canceled today."</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Halle:"YEEEEEEEESSSSS! YAY! YAY! YAY! Wahoooooo!!!" Run, jump, scream, holler, wake every kid in the house.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">So much for that extra sleep.</span></span><br />

While it may not seem like a "fun" gift to some, my brand new bedsheets are FANTABULOUS to me! I've got the humidifier running, the vapo rub on, the ibuprofin swallowed, mentholatum on my nose, and now I'm off to bask in my silky smooth, freshly made bed. Its a glamorous life I lead. (And my new fridge will finally be here tomorrow!! No more trekking to the garage for milk.)</span></span><br />

So for whatever reason, I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon. Not just a little fall, but like fell off, rolled into the ditch, and got left behind by the wagon. My entire 2013.....NOTHING, I have written not one thing about an entire year! It makes me so very sad. I love so much to read what our family has done over the years. And so, I am going to only hit the highlights over the next few posts in an attempt to get caught up and jump back on that wagon. It's been so long since I've posted anything, that blogger has even changed things up. So be patient, I may get things all out of order as I try to figure it all out again. Also, a lot of 2013 pics are on my phone, so quality is probably going to be poor. But something is better than nothing, right?Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163704.post-87624662390273870002013-04-29T14:14:00.003-06:002013-04-29T14:16:01.769-06:00Merry Christmas From Us to You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are not a lot of girls Kate's age that she knows. She is in spectrum class so there are only a total of 4 1st grade girls in the entire class. Kate's party was just a small group, but they had a good time. We partied at Blast Off and the girls ran wild. Just like 7 year olds should do.<br />

It was a little difficult to decide what to get Kate this year. She has inherited all the girls hand me down toys, she has just about everything in the world. And she thinks she is 14 not 7, so she told me all she wanted for her b-day was clothes. But we surprised her with a Squinkie Mansion and I think the look on her face in the above picture says we did a good job. I guess she does enjoy being a little girl after all. :)<br />

Happy Birthday Kate-Kate! Our little "pink caboose" is a spunky little fire cracker. She is ALWAYS on the go and it's always at 100 miles per hour. She's got sass enough to spare and a hot little temper and a serious case of curiosity that sometimes leads to trouble. She is fiercely loyal to her opinions and there is not a thing anyone can do to change that. She loves to color, read, do math, wrestle, wrestle some more, and play barbies. She becomes extremely shy around people she doesn't know and either won't say a word at all, or runs her mouth non-stop. You never know what this kid is going to say. She always keeps us laughing.<br />

We are constantly getting told we look a lot a like and when I look back at my kid pictures I definitely can see some similarities. I think it is such a compliment to be told I look like beautiful Kate. Kate keeps us on our toes and is the perfect little ending to family.

The cell phone rule at our house is that you get one when you turn 12. Halle has not so patiently waited for her 12th birthday for a LOOOOONNNG time. She was SO excited to finally get a phone. And I have to be honest, I was too. It has eased a lot of her anxiety to know she can call me and vice versa when needed.<br />

Halle is certainly growing up. She didn't really want a party this year. Not even a cake. She just wanted to go ice skating with her friends. So that is what we did.<br />

There were a couple of falls, but really, they all skated great and for most of them it was their first time.<br />

Happy Birthday to our sweet Halle! Halle is our most affectionate child. You can always count on a hug and squeeze from her. The closer she can be to you, the better. She loves to laugh, and can find the funny in just about anything. She is a sensitive soul and wears her emotions on her sleeve. Her spit fire temper still shows itself once in a while, but she does a good job at keeping herself in check. She is doing a good job at being able to help babysit for me once in a while. Being alone is not her favorite thing, so I know she does it to help me and I love her for that. She is becoming a wonderful artist and loves to doodle and draw. She has been working so hard on her grades this year and got her first straight A report card. We are SO proud of her and all the hard work she puts into everything in her life. We love you Halle, our family would not be complete without you!Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163704.post-84885983002525749972013-01-28T16:11:00.004-07:002013-01-28T16:11:52.127-07:00Happy Halloween!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year Kate chose to be a flamenco dancer, Carter was a BYU football player (along with his buddy Harrison), Halle was an 80's girl (but she kept saying she was a hippy), and Alyssa decided she was too old to trick-or-treat, but wore her swim gear to the Halloween Party. Halle got to go off by herself with friends this year, Alyssa had friends over for movies and treats, and I took the little kids around the neighborhood, and they made a haul in the candy department.Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163704.post-8048308792496713082013-01-28T16:07:00.003-07:002013-01-28T16:07:40.976-07:00Alyssa Turns 14!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The big event for Alyssa was her 14th birthday! She was upgraded from a regular cell phone to a smart phone, and boy was she excited!<br />

We also gave her her very own riding helmet. She was having to borrow one at the barn and really hated using somebody else's helmet. Who knew a funny looking helmet could make a girl happy? :)<br />

Happy Birthday to my dear Alyssa! She is such a great kid. Always dependable, responsible, perfectionate, and very very smart. Never needs encouraging to get homework finished, in fact we sometimes have to do the opposite and tell her to chill a little. She's a pretty no-nonsense kid, but still knows how to find some fun in life. She really has her head on straight and knows exactly what she wants, and what she expects from life. I think that is such a strong attribute of her personality. We love you Alyssa, and are so glad you are part of our family!Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163704.post-81080573635629977612013-01-28T15:58:00.000-07:002013-01-28T15:58:10.436-07:00Toe Shoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A big event for Halle happened in October. She finally got fitted for toe shoes. We went to this little shop that had boxes and boxes and boxes of shoes. She tried on A LOT of shoes, different brands, different shapes, different hardness, etc. Until the right shoe was found. I seriously felt like I was in Harry Potter and the wand shop. You don't choose the shoe, the shoe chooses you. :)Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163704.post-24565709278753147312013-01-28T15:54:00.002-07:002013-01-28T15:54:32.574-07:00Provo Canyon<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We stayed in Utah for the weekend after the BYU game. We took a drive through Provo Canyon while listening to Conference on Saturday. The colors were absolutely gorgeous. Cameras never seem to quite capture the brilliance of Fall, but let me tell you, I felt like I was driving through a painting. We had to stop and get a few family shots.<br />

The first weekend of October we decided to get a group of friends together and tailgate for a BYU football game. The Treasures, Traynors, Englemans, and Smiths all joined us for a little parking lot party. We grilled some chicken and ate treats while we waited for the game to start. We had beautiful weather, a little chilly, but beautiful still the same.<br />

This was Kate's very first BYU game. Usually Jarom takes each kid individually for their first time, but since we own 3 season tickets, Jarom and Carter and the Smith boys sat in our usual seats, and the girls sat in different seats. I tried my best to make it a great time for Kate, but I think sitting by her animated dad will still be a better experience. But we still managed to have some fun singing, dancing, cheering, and eating Cougar Tails. :)<br />

Uncle Brandon scored some field passes and took Carter and Jarom down on the field to meet the players and cheerleaders. I'm not sure, but I think the big boys might have been more excited than Carter, but still he felt like a VIP. Thanks Uncle Brandon!<br />

September brought Jarom's birthday. He turned 37! Can we really be this old? I don't know where the years have gone. We were little 13 year olds when we met. CRAZY!!! But what a beautiful family we have created over the years.<br />

For the last few years, the Cromwells have invited us to join them for a weekend of fun at their cabin in Bear Lake. It is always a good time and this year was no exception. Well....except maybe we could have done without the throwing up and diarrhea (yah, we had a little tummy bacteria going through a few of us) and maybe the Jamisons could have joined us like usual, but we really did have a fantastic time. And you really should click on this picture and check out the colors of the hill behind the kids on the tube. The leaves were absolutely GORGEOUS! And with the blue blue lake in the foreground, it was breath taking. Pictures just don't do it justice.<br />

There is always plenty of time in the water on the lake. Everyone got in except me. Yah....who invited the party pooper? But seriously, I really don't love playing in the water and I honestly have a fabulous time sitting on the boat watching everyone else. It's the best of both worlds for me. Kids get to play and get wet, I get to be there and stay dry. :)<br />

Carter was introduced to fishing. The kid was in heaven. He sat out on the dock casting his reel for hours! Jarom and Adam took the boys to a local fishing pond and Carter FINALLY caught his very first fish. He was so excited!<br />

The kids got a long great and were tuckered out at the end of each day. I think they would live at the Cromwell's cabin if they could. Thanks for the fun Jennie and Adam!Elenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073513719640179145noreply@blogger.com1
