"Whatever it is, I want to eat it!"

Grace was loving the snow for the first minute or two until she started eating the snow and realized how cold it was. I grabbed this one before the whinning started.

Another snow day!

Like most of you, we had a MASSIVE amount of snow this year. I won't even start complaining, so instead, here's one of Daisy and Tristin snuggling to keep warm.

And, don't forget the bow...

What's a birthday without a big huge bow on your head?

Happy Birthday again Grace

These are completely out of order because her b-day was December 22nd, but I forgot to get one of her/me opening her presents! We can't forget the loot!

Grace gets a NEW toy!!!

Everyone who knows me, knows yard sales are my life, which means, I NEVER buy new toys. Believe me, I sanitize the heck out of them (like I even needed to explain that) anyway, I "splurged" and bought a new toy for Grace. So in honor of my monumental occasion, I have it documented for all of you! Yahooooo.....

New Christmas Pj's (and our super serious faces!)

I don't even remember what the kids were doing in this shot, I think they were striking a pose of some sort, but it turned out looking like a shot that could be used for a prune juice/constipation add. Lookin' good there Daisy!

Christmas Eve Night...

These are the moments when being a Mama is so wonderful. Tristin wrote a quick note to Santa on Christmas Eve and Daddy (I mean, Santa) replied back ( and ate most of the cookies, naturally). And you can thank my crazy Mom for the rediculious looking cookie plate!

I am computer challenged! But Merry Christmas anyway!

Don't laugh at me, I am just a silly girl who can do 4 1/2 things on the computer: type, print,
e mail, sell on e bay and attempt to keep a blog. Anyway. this is what you can expect from me. Sideways pictures, entries with no pictures, moths at a time with no updates and several other irratating things yet to come (like A LOT of spelling errors)
This was taken at our ward Christmas party and is the only picture of the kids with Santa! It was a fun night!

Happy 1st Birthday Grace!!

Well, another month has passed and I have been trying not to feel ashamed of myself for not posting pictures, but I really couldn't do it! But, God was feeling sorry for me and you (for not seeing cute pictures of the kids) and blessed us all. At last, I can post pictures ( yes, that was plural, in hope another one follows, but no promises here.)
Here is our little Grace all grown up and enjoying her special day. She is of course going on 15 months already and is such a doll. She started walking 3 days after her birthday and as the saying goes... "The rest is history"

I know, I'm WAY behind!!

Well, when I started, I was doing so well posting pictures and keeping the grandparents updated, but slowly, it all went down hill. I'll get back to it after Trav helps me with the pictures again, but we always seem to be so busy with everything else that my beloved blog gets pushed to the end of the to-do list.
Oh well, priorities right? I've been keeping busy with normal life. 3 kids, work, the house, teaching in RS @ church, being a sweet and wonderful wife (I finally gave in and "allowed" Travis to buy his flat screen TV, now he can be quiet about the darn thing!) , trying to cook but failing, planning birthday parties (Grace turned 1 before Christmas and Daisy's princess party is in a few days!She's turning 3 and is SO girly, I love it!) I've started manking hair bows for the girls and LOVE it, they are so cute! It's been fun to try something new. We are survivng the snow but I am still hating it. I don't have panick attacks anymore when it's time to pick Tristin up from school, and if the roads are not too icy, I can run errands, but it's time for it to go.
The kids are doing well. Tristin is still enjoying school, Daisy is in princess Heaven and Grace is working on more teeth, so you know how great she is!
We are excited for our trip "home" next month to Seattle and to the coast! I cannot wait to set foot on the sand and get swept away (not litterally of course.)
Well, Grace is screaming and laundry is waiting for my arrival! I'll post more pictures when I get it figured out again!
