where have I been????

I think life has been hectic...It all seems like a blurrrrr....but we definitely enjoy ourselves along the way....
The kids were helping me wash dishes, until I had to kick them our for the lake on the floor...it was cute though.
For preschool we took a field trip to Wheeler farm. it was cute, the kids really enjoyed it.I posted a Halloween invite on facebook and it put the wrong date and time, until I fixed it...but a family showed up at the first time..so we threw an impromptu Halloween party. We played a few games and made cut out cookies. It was a LOT of fun, I am glad for the mistake.
it made for a batty fun afternoon!
we went to the Logan temple (who is that stud in the grass? heehee)
cuz Missa and Brandon Got married!
which means I got to make a cake...
My Best Cake EVER!! This was serious one of the best cakes I have ever done, and it was very intricate and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!
I the the depth and definition. (thanks Missa for the challenge and a HUGE thanks for Mom Dad and Donna for the help and moral support.)
The first snow of the year...in Oct...

they loved eating the snow!
which also brings on the first hot chocolate of the season!
Fish came out for Missa's wedding and the kids like to hang out with her.
then we had the preschool Halloween party...SO FUN!!
that snow disappeared and made way for the leaves to fall...they are so dang cute!
Then I got to do another cake...YODA! cool huh!
some more play time with daddy...a tent for everyone. I love this pic, they are all so happy!!
More play time with daddy...LEAF Monster I mean!
I love watching KJ play with the kids, it makes us all happy!
then more snow....A LOT more snow!

this is what one of our neighbors did with all of his excess snow...if you can't tell the size look at the house in background...the big on in the middle is at least 15feet tall!! Happy Holidays!!!!

A true Halloween Horror!

Jon was out playing with the kids this morning and went in to get something and turned and noticed this little fella....
oh you can't see what it is...have a closer look....
Yep, that's right...a BLACK WIDOW...right there, hangin' out....
of course it must meet it's demise....bug spray....
and a flip flop!!!
Horray for MY HERO!!! (I am SO glad he was home to take care of this little Halloween Horror!)

AAAHHHHHH!!!

potty, turning 6 months , preschool and other daily adventures...

One day I could hear PD in the bathroom and went to check on her and I found her helping "pseudo george" go potty. She was nice and held his legs up so he wouldn't get potty on them...
they they walked down the hall together...
She is so stinking adorable! :o)
aren't they lovely...PG may be a talented artist one day, but I wish he wouldn't use the bathroom wall as his canvas...
yep, I made HIM scrub it off...I did also ask him to redraw the family on paper, because I thought it was so good. So now it lives appropriately on our fridge...on PAPER!
one night we played "restaurant" for dinner the kids loved the homemade icecream and cookies.
doesn't that face just "scream for more ice cream"?
she only wished for ice cream...soon enough little girl!
my babies out grow the baby bath way too fast...so I have to be creative ...not that the kitchen sink is all that "creative" but hey...it isn't common at our house. :o)
I helped some neighbors make wonderboxes..they turned out so cute I had to take a picture. It was fun to sew with friends. :o)
the kids enjoyed the pile of pillows too. :o)
PD LOVES to rub backs and get her back rubbed too. She is majorly talented....Look, 2 backs at the SAME time! Everyone was happy...except me! :o)
PR's turned 6 months on the 1st, she is getting so BIG! He favorite snack...flip flops!!! (kind of disgusting but whatever!)
We started doing preschool with a few families in the ward. this week was my week. This lesson brought to you by the letter A, the number 1 and the color Red. :o)
look at our big girl now....She is SITTING!!! And judging by this pic, she LOVES it too! :o)
PG make a fort from pillows...he kept saying "you can't see me, I am hiding in my cave" but he was waving out the window! :o) Silly boy!
this is another common look for Miss Roo. She ALWAYS sucks in her bottom lip and smiles. She is SO cute...I love her!!!
there are my 3 favorite "Yahoos"...Man I love these kids. They add meaning and entertainment and LOVE to my life!

(Also thanks to Camilla for the fun Disney presents! They LOVE them!)

lastly...the video of Roo's latest feet....

family photos shoot - August 2010

I should have posted this last week but life got away from me, this was our family photo shoot a few weeks ago, by my "niece that is not my niece."








Thanks Amber....WE LOVE THEM, and WE LOVE YOU!

Today was the day!

this is a very nice picture of me
...taken a few weeks ago by a cute friend of mine. Look how long and flowing my hair was...
this is what that hair looks like sitting on the counter at "the Spa Club" after they chopped it off. I do this every few years, I grow it out, chop it off and donate it to locks of Love.
this is the final product!
What do you think???
(I really like it ... A LOT!!)
