Rocks,feeding time, and SUN....

Krissa was outside collecting rocks and then bringing them in and cleaning them. When she was all done she had them all marked on whether you could scratch them with a nail or not. This girl has big imagination=)
Paislee got her doll, the bib and all this play food out all by herself and then sat down to feed her doll.

And feed her self. This girl also has imagination=)

Soon she moved on putting a bib on the dog and feeding her pretend food.

Penny did finally get real food. If you consider fake bacon real food=)

The whole dinner party=)

It was 40 degrees and sunny here today. So the kids were outside playing on the front porch. They were so excited to see just a little grass. I have to admit I was too.

I just had to add this one because I caught Brady playing house with Krissa. He was mortified that I got him in a picture with a baby doll=)

I Love Her....

I just had one of my friends who has a little girl the same age as Paislee write that she loved this age. I have to agree.

I love that instead of saying for she says "sor". Or instead of fruit she says "sruit".

I love that when I tell one of the older kids to go to the corner or they get in trouble. I hear a little voice behind me say "yea go to de corner".

I love that when I send her to corner she will be there for two seconds and then she gets a really big smile on and says "I nice, I not crying".

I love that when I say we are going somewhere she automatically says "we got to walmart woo hoo". And as we walk out the door you can hear her say "wets go wok and woll" (lets go rock and roll)

I love that she is so observant every day when I get dressed she says "momma you so pretty".

I love that she is down right hilarious. I was helping her go to the potty and she said "I need piecee (privacy) I got a big one"

I love that she likes hanging out with me. For now. Because her older brother and sister think I'm pretty uncool=)

I love how she loves her daddy, when he gets home from work she makes a bee line for him.

I love that when I was telling the kids that we were going to CA to see their friends bridger and livi. She started yelling "yeah wuci (luci)". She hasnt seen luci in months but put it together that we would be seeing her too=)

I love that when you ask her if she did something bad she looks out of the corner of her eye and in a squeaky voice she says "Mayyyybeeee". She even said it once when brady asked her if she loved him=)

I don't love that she copies every swear word I have ever said and frequently tells people to shut up. Like the time we were in the truck and she dropped her gold fish I heard her say "damn it, shit"

Most of all I just LOVE HER=)

Brady Wrestling 2010

Brady started wrestling tonight. He participated in wrestling when we lived here last time and loved it and had the same feeling tonight. He was smiling the whole time. I love that his dad will get up and help right along with the coach even though he doesn't know much about wrestling.

His cheerleaders were pretty tired by the end=)

Brady had his 2nd basketball game last night. He did awesome and only fell down once. Good job Brady!

Happy Valentines to Me!

Brian was going to buy me some chocolate covered strawberries but realized most places were closed on Sunday so what did he do. He snuck off to the store and bought some strawberries and chocolate and made some for me. What a sweet guy. I'm so lucky to be married to one of the best men and daddies around! Thanks babe Happy Valentines Day!

Friends, Valentines,and Basketball

Paislee got to play with her friend Ashlynn the other day and Krissa was more than excited to dress them both up=)
Ballet girl and Hanna Montana

The Kids in their Valentine best=)


We had a few friends over to play games and have some pizza. I only wish I would have videoed all the guys dancing to "who let the dogs out"
it was pretty funny=)

Jay busting a move with the little girls=)

Brian showing his mad skills=)

Brian and Brady decided to take matters into their own hands and add ice melt and a little elbow grease to the driveway so they could practice a little basketball.

Brian even let Brady drive the Ranger back and forth. Luckily he didn't wreck=)

Brady and Dad shooting some hoops

Thumbsuckers...

I just had to add this picture of Brooklyn and Paislee. They were in the truck only seconds before both of them had their thumbs firmly in their mouths. Too cute=)

Weekend in St.George and Krissa's special day!

Krissa got this fortune cookie for lunch the day she got baptized I thought it was kind of cool

Just before I left for St. George I got the new Wii game "just dance" in the mail. I have to say this was so fun and even funner when played with my family. We even got my mom up playing (although I wasn't there).

One more perk of St. George is getting to see baby Ava. Look at those cheeks don't you just want to squeeze them!

Our first night there we took the kids to pirate island. Picture chucky cheese except with pirates. The kids loved it. And the adults had the smart idea to let the kids eat yucky pizza there and then we stopped on the way home to get Cafe Rio. We are so wise!

Cute little pirates!

These girls are such great friends. I'm so glad Tiff and I have girls around the same age=)

We cashed in all the kids tickets and they had over 1,000 just enough to buy each kid a plastic sword. It only cost $30.00 to get the swords which were probably worth around a buck a piece. But it was worth it seeing the kids so happy=)


THE BAPTISM

Uncle Marco was nice enough to baptize Krissa. He gave her a beautiful confirmation she was so happy to finally get baptized. My mom asked if she felt the spirit after her baptism Krissa said yes. My mom said how and Krissa said "I just felt like I had done something really good". What a great answer. I love this little girl!

Just a side note on the beautiful dress she has on. It was actually a dress that was bought about 12 years ago for my wedding. My niece was supposed to wear it in my wedding but at the last minute couldn't come. My mom gave it to me and ironically the shoes and everything fit Krissa for her baptism=)


Jacee, Nathan,Tiff, Ava,Krissa, Marco Brooklyn

Grandma Ann and Krissa

Uncle Marco and Krissa

Our family. Notice my hubby in a suit. He actually bought two. He said one was for baptisms the other for primary programs. All I can say is he was looking pretty smokin in a suit=) Even though he isnt a member of the church he does anything for his family especially his kids and I love him for that!

Brian and I bought her this CTR ring and some scriptures with her name on them.

Marco and Tiff got her this pretty necklace with her birthstone on it and it says I am a child of god.

I was lucky to have my sissy there. She loves to take pictures and I love to hand the camera over to someone who knows how to use it. Thanks again Tiff=)

I just love this picture of Krissa and her Dad. It makes it even better that neither one of them knew Tiff was taking it=)

Grandma Ann got Krissa a baptism memories book and a cute little I am a child of god plaque.

Just one more of Baby Ava. Do you blame me?
