Girls Dinner

Hooray!  A reunion of the Girls!  We all got together while KJ was in town, and before Christina, Linz and Haley left for Christmas break!  We had a lovely little dinner and chatted!  I don't think I would be who I am today with out these Girls!  They are SO much a part of me!  I love you, Ladies!

Snowy days










Oh, how my kids LOVE to play in the snow!  I love the way their coats look against the white snow, too!  I love little rosy cheeks and noses from the cold!  The last picture is classic!  I told Thomas to throw a snowball at Kaley.  Kaley quickly picks up a ball of snow, and throws it right at Thomas' face!  He is shocked!  She is SO pleased with herself!  You'll have to click on it to make it bigger!  :)  What funny kids!

FHE - Temple Square

For Family Night last week, we went to see the lights on Temple Square!  It was cold, but not windy, so we scored!  




After the lights, we went to the Sing-a-Long at the Delta Center ( I know it's not the DC any more, but I still call it that).  The kids had so much fun!  They gave out free hot dogs and soft drinks.  They also handed out free tickets to the Bees game and free popcorn vouchers!  I think we have a new family tradition!

500th post!!!

Well, actually this is post 506, but I am behind.  I wanted to do something clever for our 500th post, but life happened. I posted a few pictures of what has kept us busy.  I do have a few more to catch up on, so check back soon!  

What we do in the Winter time...

take pictures...
dress up...
put the baby in a box...
wrestle on the floor...
crawl around and pull ourselves up on things...

What do you do in the Winter time?

Two little Monkeys


This two kids just drive me nuts sometimes!  Last week, I was making cookies to take to the neighbors.  One cookie "happened" to drop on the floor.  Thomas and Kaley couldn't let it go to waste, so they licked up the chocolate off the floor!  They can be such turkeys!  Somedays, I think Thomas' smile and blue eyes are the only thing keeping him alive!   :)

Party for Kaley in Sandy!

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!

Last week for Family Night we bought and decorated our Christmas tree!



The kids just love the Christmas tree! I can't keep them away from it! Thomas likes to rearrange the ornaments and snowflakes. It tests my patience! Kaley is the first to snitch on Thomas when she sees him touching the tree! So far, we have lost 3 Christmas decorations to Thomas' destruction this year - and yes, it is only December 7th! Good times. :)

Happy Birthday, Kaley!

Four years ago today, our sweet Kaley came into our life!  She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19 inches long!  
I love this picture!

Starting Preschool this year!  We love our Kaley Lynn!  She is such a good helper to Mommy!  She is a loving, caring big sister to Thomas and Bella.  She loves to help fold laundry, read books, do puzzles, color, play outside, play dress up, and be with friends!   Some of my favorite things that Kaley says, "Got-For" - instead of "forgot."  I can't bring myself to correct this one!  She calls Christmas Eve, "Christmas Even."  She is always looking for "K" on any sign.  She is getting good at writing her name by herself.  She loves Preschool and her Princess Playgroup!

We love you Kaley!  Happy Birthday!
