Mamma Mia!


So I know I am slow watching this but I did finally see it and now it is like my new favorite movie. Except of course for Twilight, my one true love. So after watching Mamma Mia I immediately went to itunes and downloaded the sound track and now it is all I listen to at home and my Twilight sound track is all I listen to in my car. I know, I know..... I am pathetic!

Big Girl Bed.

Oh my goodness. My baby girl is so big now. My cousin had an extra twin bed so they gave it to us. We set it up last night and Emma got to sleep in it. She only fell out once. But sometime in the night she went and got in bed with Riley which is pretty normal. She looked so tiny sleeping in her new bed. This spring when it is not freezing outside I want to paint it, but until then it will stay as it is. And sometime before she graduates High school I would like to make her some bedding but for now I just bought a princess quilt since we are going to Disney world because she is totally into all the princesses right now. Riley of course had to be in all the pictures too.

Passed Out! 5 minutes later.

New Year's Eve

We went up to Nampa to spend New Year's Eve with our good friends Holli & Ryan. We had a blast. They had this new Wii game called outdoor adventure and we (the adults) actually stayed up until 2am playing it. I was so sore the next day and so of course Luke went right out and bought it. I am all about games that make you exercise! We toasted in the new year with virgin pina colada's shown by the adorably pregnant Holli. We love you guys, we had so much fun.

Christmas '08

This is a little late but here it is. We had a great Christmas. We enjoyed watching out kids' excitement. Christmas is so much more exciting when you have kids. Watching their faces light up when they see there presents.

Christmas Eve PJs.

Christmas cookies for Santa. And a carrot for the reindeer.



Our beautiful tree.

Here we come.

Riley's favorite present.

Emma's leapster, one of my black friday buys.

Transformers of course.

Emma's Back pack w/ sleeping bag.

My beautifully wrapped present from Lukee.

Luke's new sunglasses.

My new "toy"a scroll saw.
Emma's dance outfit. What a cheeser!


I am always sad to have the Holidays end but this new year brings new adventures. I hope your holiday's were as wonderful as ours.

Happy Birthday Crazy Lady!

I have to say Happy Birthday to my dear friend Holli (you old fart.) Today is her golden birthday. I hope we can go on a fun birthday trip this weekend! Thank you for being my friend and teaching me how to have confidence in myself. You are the best and I love you forever!

I finished my stockings and have to say, I love them. I am not much of a sewing girl but these actually turned out good. I wanted to add jingle bells on the toes but I think they will be to heavy and pull the toe down so they will have to stay as they are.




The kids were shoveling snow the other night and so I grabbed some pictures. Emma decided she needed to keep her dress up on, so notice the mermaid tail beneith her coat.
Our pretty lights.


We had a little Christmas party with my family to exchange gifts. It was so fun to be all together.


Cute little Levi
Ry's hulk gloves. Thank you sooo much Aunti Megan.






Merry Christmas!

Let it snow * let it snow * let it snow!!

We woke up to snow on Saturday and of course had to go play. I love this time of year and almost dread Christmas day because I don't want this season to be over. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.
