We are still alive

I really enjoy the blog world but then I get so far behind I don't know where to begin...so I put it off and off again. So here is your update on the Phillips Family :) ENJOY!!

So lets begin with January. I turned the big 3-0 and that was a big deal for me. My calling at church changed. I had been the Relief Society (women's group) Secretary for 4 years. I was under 3 different Presidents during that 4 years. I now work in the Primary, as the 2nd Counselor. I love working with the kids. And it was perfect timing too. Jacen entered Primary in January and was not going to let me leave his side.

In February....Jacen turned 4. He said that he would go to class by himself when he turned 4...thank goodness his birthday is February 8th and not in December!! He began going by himself the first Sunday in February...by himself I mean: he was not sitting on my lap, hugging my leg when I conducted, and he even went to class without me. It was perfect timing because I was over the sharing time in February :)

I really wanted to do a birthday party for the boys this year. I chickened out and it was a good thing too. On Jacen's birthday he informed me that it was just going to be the 4 of us. When I told him our friend Bridella was coming over, he finally said, okay the 5 of us. He informed me that I was to make yellow cake with brown frosting. After he helped me make the batter I got out a 9x13 pan....and that wasn't right either. "No yellow cupcakes with brown frosting". Too bad the night before when we were at the store he wouldn't choose a cake and frosting. I decided to get my favorite, funfetti. That was not going to work!! Thankfully we had yellow cake in the cupboard and Scott was able to run to the store on his way home from work to grab some brown frosting. During dinner Jacen informed us that we were to jump out and say "surprise"....so we did just that. Once dinner was cleaned up we turned off the lights, hid, called Jacen in, and SURPRISE!! You should have seen the smile on that boys face! He was so happy!!

Brycen turned 2 on February 19th. Scott didn't have school on the 18th so off to Sea World we went. (We love our season passes!) Brycen got to enjoy his birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson and he loved every minute. The Funfetti cake and frosting I originally bought for Jacen's birthday didn't go to waste :)

In March Scott was part of the High School Rock Off. He got some kids together, taught them the moves and if you ask me they were by far the best group. Someone posted it to youtube, and since I don't know how to post from the actual DVD, you will have to settle with this version.
