hard work

Here is Madilyn taking a rest after working hard in the snow. Don't you love how deep this snow actually is... this hasn't been shoveled or plowed. It actually came up and over the seat of the rocking chair. Madi wanted me to take a picture of her in it. She thought it was funny the snow was this high.

Snow Fort

This was Isaah's big project while we were last in Utah. A Snow fort. They had alot of snow and when grandpa plowed the back around the barn he made large snow piles. The first day we got there the snow was light and fluffy and you could not pack the stuff to make a snow ball. But after another day it hardened and Isaah went to work. This is Isaah in his tunnell. He dug it all himself. His body is actually stretched out inside this tunnel.

Here is an idea of how deep he shoveled down. It was a shape of an L. He went straight down then he went right for his tunnel. He didn't break through the other side though because we had to go home. Notice how hard he was working... he was the only one without a hat.

Little Chefs

Making RollsPaige is showing us how to stir. She is great at this job!



Then you roll out the

dough, just like so...

Talli watches on waiting

for her turn.

Now it's Talli's turn. She's the offical slicer. (Scarey, Talli slicing something, luckily she does have some adult supervision)


The girls decided to let
Isaah and Madi join in
the fun. Roll, slice, then
roll with your fingers!

Yummy!!

I want to be just like...

Talli and Paige have wanted to get their haircut just like Madi after she cut her hair. So I did it. They look so cute and they really like it!

My Valentine

It all began about 10 years and 11 months ago, when we first met at USU, we ended up on the same co-ed softball team and the rest is history. This one is for my love of my life, my confidant and friend. Through thick and thin we have been and we will keep pludging through life one day at a time. I love you!!!

Some things my sweetie and I enjoy doing together, eating sweets :), remodeling, shopping, boating, bike riding and winter sports to name a few. His favorite food is cheesecake and his favorite activity is boating. He enjoys surfing the internet and is quite good at magic tricks. He is a perfectionist when it comes to many things such as his great talent of woodworking. One last thing is he looks awesome in is Southwest Uniform, doesn't he!

Friends

Well since Valentines Day is around the corner I thought I would send my love to my friends whom I love and appreciate. Yes, I do have other friends but these are my main lifesavers. We all used to live in the same neighborhood, our husbands all worked for the same company, we all have crazy kids and lived away from our extended family. We were all each others family, there for each other through the good and the bad. (Except Jody but when she comes to visit she fits right in). Slowly time is moving forward when I think we all would like it to stand still. Darci was first to move, then Juli. Slowly our little family is growing up and moving away. In a way I think we may feel like parents sending our kids off to college. We know that it has to change but you don't want it to. Anyway enough of being sentimental. Thanks girls for all you do! (Sorry about the pictures, I figured these would be better than the one's from the lake :)!)

Orange

Here is something you don't see everyday. Eye protection for peeling an orange. Madi asked if she could have an orange and I said yes. Next thing I know she is asking me if she can wear the snow goggles. I said sure you can. Then she went on to explain that it is so the juice doesn't squirt her in the eyes while she is peeling her orange. So if you have ever had this problem now you know how to solve it. Thanks Madi!

Gymanstics

Thursday, Madi started gymnastics at Woodlands Gymnastics Academy. She was so excited for it. She was literally counting down days till she could go. She had tried a trial class and loved it so when I told her she could start taking it that was all she could talk about. When the big day finally got here she was practicing her cartwheels all through the house until it was time to leave. During class she was all smiles. I do not think I saw her with out it on her face. She did very well for her first time and is once again counting days until her next class.

Here she is in action. Sorry my pictures not that great. I am hoping for a new camera for my birthday that would have taken this picture perfectly (hint hint).

100th Day

Madi celebrated being at school for 100 days. The kindergarteners dressed up as if they were 100 years old and did activities all day long that had something to do with the number 100. Below is a picture of the old foggies on parade. Madi decided she didn't want to wear her glasses and she would not wear panty hose. But she really enjoyed showing off to the rest of school in the parade.

Out with the Old and In with the New!

The old furniture We had a dresser I bought at a garage sale in high school, a night stand and a plastic tupperware drawer set. We have only been married ten years so we thought it was time to upgrade.
Here is our armoire and Chad's Chest of drawers.

This is my dresser.

Sorry the picture isn't that great but we also have two night stands. Chad and I love it and he made the comment that it feels like we are in a model home, we just need to hang decorations up now.

Jealous Yet?

I don't have much going on right now so I just thought I would let you know it is 10:15 pm and I just turned on my air conditioner. Yes you read right, my air conditioner. The high tomorrow is suppose to be 80. Any one want to come for a visit? We are now taking reservations.

Anyway, laundry has over taken my bedroom the last few days and until I get it put away I can't take pictures of my new bedroom furniture. But there are going to be a few fun things coming up for me to post. So stay tuned!!
