Bare With me

So I set up this blog with the intention of posting on a regular basis but due to my lack of IT skills I got lost along the way But I have decided to take the plunge and try to jump in and learn as I blog.

OK so where to start? Well let me tell you alittle bit about myself and my family. I am married to a wonderful man who goes by the Name of Phil or LeGman, recently though he has been given another name by our friends 2 1/2 year old little boy......that name is Old Man Le Grice...the first time we heard it we were sitting reverently in Sacrament meeting whilst the bread was being passed and Phil was one of the priesthood holders actually passing the sacrament when from behind us we heard "Old Man Le Grice" being shouted in Phil's direction for all to hear, the girls and I had to sit there trying our hardest not Laugh out Loud esp as this little boy continued to call this out. needless to say the reverence was short lived. Phil is a gadget boy through and through........If we go into town you can always be sure that he will find the Apple store or the other stores that sells these tiny yet expensive bits of technology. He becomes all transfixed with that glazed look you see on a Trekky when they attend a Star Trek convention. One of the wonderful things that I LOVE and adore about my husband is that he LOVES to shop. Seriously he loves shopping esp when it comes to clothes and it is not just clothes for himself he loves shopping for clothes for the girls and I and has a real eye for fashion. No wonder we were given girls from Heavenly Father, he obv knew that they would be well dressed with a dad like Phil. Only downside to this is that Phil likes the "nice" clothes.....the labelled ones which the girls have learnt to love too.

Our Eldest daughter Amie-Jo is 16. I know. I know, before you say I know that I don't look old enough to have a 16 year old I have obv been blessed with the Snow white gene of looking olny a few years older that 16 myself, but its a curse I have to bear and bear it I will! (who am I kidding, I refuse to tell people that I started having children just after I left the teens years myself and prefer for people to think my children are adopted...lol) So back to Amie-Jo or as she prefers to be addressed these days AJ. Horseriding is her passion and we try to indulge this hobby as best we can, although no pony has been purchased in her Honour much to her disbelief. She wants to be an interior designer when she leaves school, which I will make sure to use and abuse if that is the road she ends up taking, she can ceratinly design my home and furnish it with her tastes for sure. AJ is is her last year of High School and in a few months time she will be in high Education. AJ came into this world much earlier than planned and weighed a tiny 4lb. Right from day 1 she was an Angel, Motherhood was a breeze and I enjoyed every single second of having a newborn. Because of this experience I wanted to relive the joy soon after and just 21 months later along came Emily.

Emily also came into this world earlier than planned and brought with her a spirit of adventure, she is our "spirited"child. Emily is 14 and yet looks older than her sister which she loves when people mention. Emily loves to draw and to write poetry. Emily is a very compassionate person wh has a great gift when working with younger children.

then there is me.....LeGlady. Here I am looking youthful as mentioned above and the shortest member of my family. they say the best things come in small packages (to this Phil will always state and so does arsenic, how rude!) I LOVE, LOVE, Love to bake cakes and cupcakes. and in the past year have taken to make these and have even been paid for a couple of them. another love of mine is having Yankee candles lit all over my home......a strange obsession but one that has to be indulged almost every day. I love travelling and have been blessed to have had many holidays away from home both with my family and also on my own (more posting will follow about some of those) I love shopping but getting things a a discounted price, I am the Barjhon Queen and often use this talent to having my Christmas presents bought in January ready for the December......this year I am a bit behind but will state I only have 8 more gifts to buy!!!! I love looking after children and Babies and offer my services to friends at every opportunity.

So now you know alittle of our family and hopefully this blog will continue to help you get to know us. I will in the meantime add a few blogs about happenings from the days we already call the past to enlighten you into some of the predicaments that I seem to get myself in. I will also try to learn how to post photos on this blog to go along with the posting and hope that this learning curve will be one that is enjoyable for both you and for me.
