Christmas week 2010

Christmas this year was wondereful, my parents, michelle and grandma came down. We had so much fun. It was real sad to say good bye.

We went to Denver and kenzi loved the horses and she can say horse now really well. She would laugh and get all excited when she saw one walking down the street it was so cute.

David and Michelle could not resist.

Kenzi was attached to Grandma the whole time she was here, when she got up this morning she looked for her and could not find her we were both pretty sad.

Rylee was not to sure of grandpa for a while but by the end they were good buddies.

Ry cuddled up in my new snuggie

The girls new slide. Rylee loved it she has no fear.

David's work

Here are some pictures of what David has been working on lately. He is loving his job.

PS. the girls new found hobby!

Thanksgiving week

David and I decided to stay home for Thanksgiving this year, I was a little bummed because all my family was going to be together and all of his family was going to be together and I have not been home for a Thanksgiving in 3 years. In the mean time of me feeling bummed my brother Kevin decided they were going to come see us for the week, and made it all better!!!
It was so much fun, here is David with baby Trey. My new adorable nephew.

I took them to the Olympic training center. The elevation here is 6200 Ft so it is a great place for athletes to train.

Me, getting cuddles from Trey and Ry (Ry was not to fond of me holding another baby).

Suzi getting cuddles from the twiners

This was obviously taken when the BSU score was 24-7, We were still happy and smiling:(
(it's root beer in the bottle but I am pretty sure after the game he was wishing it was something a little stronger!)

I had to take my brother to the stadium (I am obviously not a cheer leader)

A picture of Rylee just because I think she is adorable (My sister in law makes and sells these cute hats, FYI)

Kenzi dressed all girly, but showing her true side!

"I love my girls'

Rylee getting her first hair cut.

Kenzi's first hair cut. Taking a nap on moms lap.

There is just something about dancing kids, can't help but laugh!!

You have to start em' young!!!

Halloween

We started the day off with jumping in the leaves.

Then we made sugar cookies. YUMMY!

The girls loved eating the dough and feeling like they were big kids!

Kids were done, so moms are finishing up the work!

These were the costumes I found for them. They would rip them off every time I tried putting them on. But I thought it fit them perfectly!

"waz up momma"

Luckily David's grandma sent them these adorable costumes.

Rylee is Snow White,she loved the dress.

Kenzi is Cinderella, she screamed when I put it on her, she is much less girly then her sister.

This is her after she realized she got candy for wearing it.

MOMS

I was coming home from the grocery store the other day when the neighbor guy says to me "do you stay home all day", I say yes I do, and he says "what do you do all day". Some of you women can imagine the look I gave him!! I know he was not trying to be rude, however being a sensitive women I got a little defensive. I replied to him that I crawl around on my hands and knees all day chasing kids around, singing nursery rhymes and picking up pots and pans 16 times a day after my girls empty them out of the cupboard. Now I know that I am not the only stay at home mom that has ever felt like maybe you could be doing more or wish you could help out more financially, but I also know that our sacrifices will pay off.

I found this quote from a friend's blog and i fell in love with it.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautiful tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured finger nails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the lord to know that I was really here and that I really lived." -Marjorie Pay Hinkley

It is easy for us to get caught up in the world and to forget about what really is important in our lives.I remember when I was young asking my mom why her shoe had a hole in it. she said because my 5 kids need shoes for basketball so my new shoes can wait. My parents always put us kids first and taught me good lessons. I hope that I am half the mom my mom is to me.

Wedding/Seattle/Fall

I am finally unloading the SD Card so here it goes.
First is David's sisters wedding it was beautiful, looked like it came straight from a magazine!
The Bride, BEAUTIFUL!!!

While we were at the wedding we were able to spend a day in Seattle, we went to the aquarium, rode the fairy and walked around pikes place.
The girls were in love with the Jellyfish.

Seattle from the fairy

Grandpa Ralph and the girls.

Pikes place

David and his buddy dreaming about hunting! (They can't go this year because out of state tags are way to expensive and the wives said not a chance.)

I love the fall so I was attempting to get some pictures of the girls, but between the squirrels, dogs and river it didn't turn out so well! Here are a few.
Rylee is not to happy about taking pictures can you tell!!

One of Kenzi's faces, she is the queen of goofy faces.

Rylee saying forget you mom I'm out'a here!

The dog!
