Let It Snow!!

Alivia's Hair

I finally took pictures of the final product. Lets just say that the curls stay in her hair a lot longer and look better, here in dry weather. Humidity is nice, just not nice for certain hair-dos.

Our Comedian

We discovered on our Mac computer a really cool feature. It is called Photo Booth. Ever since Elijah learned how to run it, he disappears to the computer and creates... I was laying in bed the other morning, when he started playing me all his videos he has made. I thought I was going to burst a gut laughing. I knew he was funny, but this is just hysterical! I am going to post one, or two a week, just for a good laugh! Tell me what you think!! Enjoy!

Youth Dances..."Here We Come!!"

WOW! My tiny babies, 3 to 4 lbs at birth, are 14 years old tomorrow! It seems like just yesterday that we brought them home one at a time from the hospital. The 1st year was a BLUR, diapers, feeding, playing, no sleeping X 3. The 2nd year was full of them biting each other, and becoming their own little, sweet people. The 3rd year came the temper tantrums, and the really funny memories and stories. At 4 years old, they started preschool, and I don't know who loved it more, me or them. Kindergarten was next, and life became a bit more Chaotic! Blink a few times and here we are! I can't believe that they are going to High School next year! I can't believe they are old enough to go to Stake dances! I can't believe they have turned from darling, sweet, yummy babies to these amazing, smart, happy, kind young adults. It really has gone fast! I am so thankful that they are mine FOREVER! They make my life complete, and I can't imagine my life being any different. I am glad that I am their Mom. Happy Birthday Allie, Joseph and Samuel! I love you more than you can imagine!!!

Christmas Tree And Wrappings


This year we headed to Utah to have Christmas with Grandma Sherie. We just moved back to cold weather, and desperately needed warm clothing, so Santa just brought stockings this year. I actually really liked that idea, and think that we may make this a family tradition. Alivia and Elijah both got digital cameras, so they were in charge of the pictures this year. I am pleasantly surprised with the things they took pictures of. It is truly Christmas through the eyes of a child. Allie was happy to receive her blog turned into a book and an itunes card. Joseph got art supplies and an itunes card. Samuel got a book and a Borders gift card. Scott and I both got cologne. We had a blast at Grandma's house! She gave us great t-shirts and ornaments. Thanks Mom for being such a great Mom and Grandma! We love you!
