Snowmen turned Snowowls

so MY attempt and helping the kids create snowmen out of pinecones turned into snowowls. We all had fun none the less so it all worked out. They made one for every person at the table. I love my kids and love that they love making goofy stuff with their old mom. If you look closely you can see a gun for Dallin's, Sadies is all decked out in stickers and Kennedy and I did the rest snow goggles and all. Merry Christmas

World of Coca Cola

We have been here so many times I have lost count but this was the first with a camera (I am turning into a true Liddell). Whenever we are downtown we take a quick trip over. This time it was all decked out in Christmas Cheer. The kids love it every time we go. I admit I fell asleep this time in the opening movie. They even like to be the ones to answer all the questions at the begining of the tour (same questions every time). Come and visit and you can be a part of all this.

Happy 7th Birthday Kennedy

Where did all those 7 years go? Your smiles warm everyones heart and your love is overwhelming. I am so grateful to have you as my daughter. You are deciding who you are and who you will become with all of your decisions you are making right now. Sometimes it is dificult to navigate this thing called life but you are managing very well. I am proud of who you are and who you are becoming. You are so fun to watch movies with and so daring at six flags if only you where a little taller. You have a younger sister and brother who just love you so much and look up to you. Facts about you right now: you have lost 7 teeth so far, you are still smaller than Sadie (you take that well), you are very trustworthy, you will try all the rides that you are able to ride at amusement parks, you love your dog Creed, you play the piano beautifully, and you love to sing and right now you love the musical Calamity Jane.
Love Mom

First homemade ice cream cake.

A little crowded...

Kennedy oh Kennedy.
her mouth is so small so they had to pull four of her baby teeth at the dentist this week. She was still a little tired when I took these pics. she did awesome and did not shed one tear. Oh how I love this sweet girl. FYI (the two bottom middle teeth are permanent teeth that are already straightening out).

Stick my head in the sand???

NOW DON'T GO GETTING WORRIED ABOUT ME THIS IS JUST A PLACE TO VENT.......
i JUST want to STICK my HEAD in the SAND and leave it there for 3 more months..
1 day=poop in the underwear 2x's, 1 poop in the yard in the nude, sick kid with a fever, another yelling about something or other. Laundry coming out my ears and never ending because somehow a memo was sent through my house that you are required to change at least 3x's a day. A dog that needs a walk but his owner is just too tired (no sleep because 2 kids made it into her bed last night). A butt that seems to BE just getting larger with every second. A mind that is constantly telling you that you can't do this anymore. No adult conversation for any extended period of time. Not wanting to go to bed but finally resigning that I must because it is 1am and I know this all has to start over tomorrow. a creative rut with dreams of finding yourself again in some beautiful fabric.
BUT THEN SOMEONE COMES TO YOUR HOUSE WITH DINNER AND DESSERT ON TOP OF THAT. sHE DOESN'T JUST DROP IT OFF and run SHE COMES INSIDE EVEN THOUGH HER KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. i AM A LITTLE EMBARRASED AT THE MESSES SCATTERED HERE AND THERE BUT THIS IS ME AND i CAN'T HIDE IT. i AM IMPERFECT, SELF DOUGHTING AND AT TIMES A LITTLE SHORT TEMPERED BUT THIS SMALL GESTURE OF A MEAL AND THEIR TIME REMINDED ME THAT MY HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES ME.
so what does this mean. LIFE is hard sometimes and sometimes it is crappy to have your husband half way around the world. BUT i know that he is safe and that my family is safe. Not much more could be asked.
I WILL TRY A LITTLE HARDER TO GET OFF MY DUFF AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT EVER GROWING BACK SIDE. i WILL LOVE MY KIDS A LITTLE MORE AND THANK MY SAVIOR FOR LOVING ME.

I am still ALIVE!!!

I know I have been a SLACKER....
What can I say other than 2 months down and 4 to go.
Life has been an adjustment but we are managing.
So much has happened but we will just start fresh.
I will get back on the blogging wagon.
Just got back from a great trip to AZ. I miss the weather already.
We are all doing really well.
Kennedy-reading great, cute as ever and growing up before my eyes.
Sadie-silly, sassy and full of life, I love her zest for life and she is taller than her sister.
Dallin-Funny as can be, loves legos, and Indiana Jones. Loves his sisters, dad and good ole mom.
Me-Trying to stay sane, loving my kids and missing my other half
B-busy,works all day, missing his family

Bitter Sweet Christmas














Nothing like being together as a family. You even get to put your new makeup on your dad. (Side note he was trying really hard not to complain about it itching). It was a great Christmas full of love and family and most importantly the Savior.

Christmas Bitter Sweet
















Christmas was great. On Christmas eve we where surrounded by wonderful friends who we care about very much. We appreciate them opening their home to us. The kids had a great time and loved every minute. Christmas day was Bitter Sweet, with the knowledge that i would be our last full day as family for the next 6 months. We had a great time. To round out the day we built a snowman in our backyard (yes you heard it right a snowman in Oklahoma). We had a wonderul time as a family and truly felt the Saviors love that day.
