Snow Trip


We had so much fun today on our snow trip. I couldn't believe how brave the kids were and that they kept wanting to start higher and higher up the mountin. Harry loved throwing snow balls at everyone. Paige built her very own small snowman, Mitchell was crazy and all over the place doing flips and rolls. Even Grant did great in the snow. It was a fun trip!

Harry is a hoot!

Harrison has been saying the funniest things latley. The other day when I was giving Grant a bath he walked in and saw the floor was wet. He said, "carefull MOM. If you slip you will die!" He is a little morbid....lol

Then tonight at dinner Grant was laughing and making funny noises at dinner time. Harry does a big sigh, shakes his head and then said, "Grant, You are a nerd!"

He cracks us up.

Bath Time!

Grant is such a happy baby. Unless he is hungry or tired he is all smilies. Harry and Grant both love to take baths. Here are some fun photos of them together in the bath! Grant has also learned to clap this week!

Okay, 7 random things about myself.....

~ I love Audrey Hepburn, I always have. My favorite movie in the whole world is Roman Holiday. I think she is beautiful and graceful and a real lady..

~ I really want to travel and see the world. I look forward to being able to do that when my kids are older. I want to go to Tokyo, Italy, France, Peru...anywhere!

~ I watch and read a lot of news. It makes me feel connected to the outside world even though I stay at home with my 4 kids.

~ I am a really good secret keeper. If someone tells me to keep something private I do. It's one thing that I know I am good at. I haven't always been good, but the last few years it has become something that has become important to me.

~ I love being Young Women's President. I really thought I wouldn't like it or that I would be horrible at it. But the longer I am in the calling and the more I get to know my girls the more I love it.

~ Everyone knows this....But I can't spell for the life of me. Even simple words trip me up. I almost always spell check everything I do. I don't write on the chalk board at church because I will embarrass myself if I try.

~ I like to argue and debate stupid, trivial things. I love my family for being willing to put up with it around the dinner table. Most often I don't even believe in the point of view I am debating...but someone has to be on the other side of the debate or it is no fun.

Old Photos


I found this photo on Traci's camera and loved it so I wanted to share.

Photos of Grant.





Tony shot these!

Dead Duck


Harry's new favorite thing to do is to play Dead Duck. This means wrestling or throwing pillows at Dad. The other day Matt was playing this Harry ans said, "You're a dead duck!" so now every time Harry wants to play with Matt he says he wants to play Dead Duck.

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!


We busted out our Christmas decorations this weekend and put up our tree (We had a busy weekend). I have worked with Harrison to really help him understand what Christmas is because he didn't understand anything at first. I am regretting this now because he is asking me a million times a day now when Santa is going to bring him his Mac. (He was toys from the movie Cars)
He really loves all the Christmas lights and gets excited when he sees Santa anywhere.
I had to put our old smaller tree up this year so that I could put it up on a box. Grant is pulling up on everything and he is trying to pull off all the ornaments. Harrison has also discovered that if you throw down a glass ball it will shatter. He broke three yesterday. He pretends it is on accident and says "ooopps" or "Sorry" right after. But I know he thinks it is fun and is doing it on purpose.

Mitch and Harry's room

This last week Mitchell gave his bed to Harrison. (It was about time we moved him out of his crib....lol). Matt made a new bed for Mitchell to go over the other bed. I painted their room a blue/grey. They are getting new comforters for their beds for Christmas. We are also going to get some more Transformer posters and frame them and put those up too. I was sad to paint over the Thomas the Train but Mitchell said he was ready for something new.



Thanksgiving 2007



We had a blast with Travis's family being here. This is the kids in the car on the way out to go on the quads. And then another one of them on the quad. They loved having Tommy here.
