* FUN IN THE SNOW*

Snow Day Continued...................

I took this picture when I went to get Abbie's hair ready for church, I could tell that my mom had no intentions of going to church because pink pajamas are not o.k. for church. Abbie sat there for seriously almost an hour just looking at the snow.

Dad and Julian decided to watch T.V. while mom and I made breakfast. Julian liked it because he could watch the T.V and the snow.
I took this when I was walking to the house. I didn't realize how far it was and it seemed like the snow made it ten times worse.
I walked up and Julian and Sierra were making snowmen. It was super cute. Julian's looked more like a melted snowman (not enough shape).
I had to get a picture of me and my favorite person in the whole world. Other than Jacob , my mom is my best friend.
Sierra and mom. We waked to Albertsons to get some gloves and hats. I bought that pink one for Sierra.
Julian didn't want to take a picture with me so I made him. He is the funniest kid ever!

Julian, Mike and Little Julian playing in the snow. They were pretty serious about their snowman and so us girls decided to go on a walk.
Sierra and her next door neighbor making snowballs to throw at Julian and Mike.
It was so funny, Abbie couldn't walk. Right after my mom put her down she did a face plant in the snow.
On our walk to Carl's Jr for Milkshakes. I know that's weird but we were craving them.
Abbie enjoying the ride. At first she was not so sure about it.
It turns out that the boys made a snow-woman. She's on the right. I guess Sierra was wondering why Julian's snowman had four arms. So funny.
Little J tired from a long day. Jacob said he was "playing" x-box with the boys and fell asleep. I would fall asleep too if someone took the batteries out of my controller.

Our Wonderful President Hinkley


It was a very sad moment when I found out that President Hinckley had passed away. He has been the prophet of the church for half of my life. I still remember the day that he came to Eugene Oregon for our regional conference. I will never forget the feeling I had as he and his wife entered the room, the words he spoke and the feelings we felt. He is a loved man and will be missed. I know that President Monson will be an amazing prophet.

Super Snow Excited.

This whole season I have been jealous of everyone snow pictures. I think is should snow everywhere at least once a year. I woke up at 7am to help my mom get Julian's girls ready for church and it was snowing. I braved it and drove there and then my dad decided they weren't going. So I am walking back there to go play in the snow. More pictures to come. I am just super excited.

I AM SO MAD I COULD SCREAM!!!!!

O.K. So I need to calm down so I can tell you what happened. So every week Jacob and I watch the biggest Loser religiously. To make a long story short, the whole group picked one team as the biggest threat. They didn't get sent home it was just them against everybody else. So in the end it turns out that three teams threw the weigh-in and so the yellow team ended up winning. They sent the pick team home. My favorite team. I am so annoyed. They have never fell below the yellow line. The yellow team should have sent the stinking purple team home who never loses any weigh. The purple team are loser and should have been sent home. They were one of the teams that threw the weigh-in, Again, they are losers. Our tribute to the pick team.

Our Anniversary Celebration!

First of all I just want to say that my husband is amazing! I am so lucky to have someone in my life who loves me so much. It has been a rough two years, financially, medically and mentally. We have also had an amazing two year. In the last three months I have lost 25 pounds and Jacob has lost 23. We are working hard to make our life together last longer. Jacob put himself in charge of our anniversary celebration this year. He did an amazing job, that is an amazing job at spoiling me. I got off work and Jacob had made an appointment for me to get my hair dyed and to get my nails done. When he showed up at my work, he pulled up in an amazing car. He rents a red Acura from his work for our fantastic night. He took us to Ambrosia and then he rented a hotel for the night. He also got the food we ate on our picnic the day he proposed ( Smoked salmon, Gouda cheese and crackers. Washed down with some sparkling cider.) He made it an anniversary I will never forget.

This is my favorite picture. Jacob looks amazing and I think that I look pretty hot. (These picture are thanks to my parents coming over and taking them.)

This is my second favorite. It shows the new color of my hair pretty good too. Funny story...... So my friend recommended this hair salon and when I walked in there were skulls hanging on the wall. Not real ones.... Just a little creepy. Every hair dresses has crazy color hair and probably 30 piercings. For you people that live in Eugene it is right about high priestess if that says anything. They are way nice though and do a fantastic job.

I had to think of something to do, Jacob wanted me to pose in front of the car. It just makes my butt look extra huge.
Waiting for our food at Ambrosia. I had never been there before and it was amazing. If you live in Eugene and haven't been there yet put it on your list. We are going there for Valentines day.
He's not very creative. He had to pose exactly like me. That's o.k. though. At least he let me take a picture.
Everything is in twos. I didn't notice until I was setting everything on the table. I guess it makes sense because there are two of us. By the way we did not eat all the cupcakes, we only ate one. We were too full from dinner. On the bottom right are the truffles that Jacob bought for me. I thought they were super cute.

*Happy Birthday Madison*

For Madison's third birthday we went to build a bear. It was super fun and a great way to celebrate.
Benjamin and his parents ready to make his new friend the turtle

Dani, Deanna and little Emma waiting to make Emma's new special friend. She made a super cute bear.
Denise waiting in line. All the children had to wear name tags, so they gave little Alia a name tag too. I thought it was super cute. I can't believe that Denise is due in less than seven weeks. Madison is so cute, she always talks about her Alia. If you ask her where Alia is she points to Denise's stomach and looks at you like duh!
The house was decorated so cute. Madison is such an awesome little girl. She deserves to have such a fun birthday.
Madison's daddy playing with her new bear. She made it a baby and so she got all the baby stuff. Diaper bag, toys, diapers and a blanket. Then on the way out of the store she realized that she needed to get a makeup bag for her baby bear. Her two favorite things, makeup and baby's.
Madison blowing her build a bear kazoo.
I made a dog, and I named her lover. She has hearts all over her fur and a heart nose.
Madison got those hot sunglasses with her new two piece swimsuit she got for her birthday.
Madison's friend Emma, just hanging out and looking cute as can be.
Madison's favorite thing is taking pictures. Too bad she didn't get a camera for her birthday.

Two Years Already!

I can't believe that it has already been two years. Time sure does go by quickly. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to have such an amazing eternal companion. We've been through a lot but it has just brought us closer. Here are a few pictures that I love of the two of us.

Dedicated Nursery Teacher!

So today I found out that I am the only person called to Nursery right now. I asked my mom to help me out today because after the new year the nursery is full of 8 little ones under two. As the day was closing, while I was helping the children clean up the toys, the worst thing happened. I tripped over a toy and twisted my right ankle and skinned my left knee on the carpet. Sweet little bailey came over and gave me a kiss on my arm as I was laying on the floor looking dead. The best part is, I can't walk on my foot anymore. Loving every minute of it. Just kidding. I feel like a complete idiot.

Benjamin's first birthday!

Ben eating lunch before his party. I was on Benji patrol before the party so that they could set everything up.
This is what happens when you take a baby's cake away from him.

Just getting started, I told Nicole she was crazy getting a cake with such bright frosting.

Benjamin loving every minute of it. He had a little bit of cake at his cousin Julian's birthday, this was more fun though.

Mommy, daddy and baby. I can't believe how big he has gotten.
Mom said he was just a little messy. We had to strip his diaper off because he had frosting falling from it.
How many people does it take to give a baby a bath? I guess three, Mommy, Daddy and uncle Julian.
That doesn't look like too much fun. I think he is feeling the side effects of all the sugar. Right after he got done with his bath he started to fall asleep.
Ben's friend Cameron. Cameron's mommy Sunny works with me at Albertsons.
Julian riding the exercise bike to work off the calories of the cake he has all over his lips. He had to have some of Ben's cake. He wanted the blue frosting.
Sierra playing war with her cousin Shane, uncle Eric and uncle Jacob.
Shane beating his cousin Sierra at War. That is not his normal smile, it is actually really funny.

Benjamin really feeling the effects of the cake now. He is so tired. We think some of the frosting got in his eye because it was really red.

Abbie enjoying the balloons. She is in my nursery class now. It is so much fun.
Ben's friend Nic, playing pin the tail on the donkey.
Nicole reading the card she got for Ben. She had to stop because she started crying.
Next year I am just going to get Ben a bag of wrinkled up wrapping paper.

Nurse Molly and Ben's friends Nicole and Bennett fro the NICU.
Ben and his brick he got from nurse Molly for his birthday.
