Krissa's spring sing

Krissa had her spring sing the other night and it was actually enjoyable. They did just the first grade this year so you could actually see your child sing. Instead of sitting a mile away like we did last year. Over all it was short and sweet and krissa did a great job!

Jumping rope with Grandma

Krissa has done nothing but nag Grandma Ann to jump rope with her when she gets home from school. So I thought I would video it. My mom can actually jump 100 times in a row. Can you do that? Because I can't. My mom is good for me. Everyday she has had me walking or biking somewhere. And yes she can walk faster than me to. I need to get into shape:)

Blowing Bubbles

I just loved this picture of the kids and Brian blowing bubbles. The look on Krissa's face just cracks me up:)

The Toy shop

We had Krissa's ballet recital this weekend and it was really cute. I have to admit by the end I was excited it was over. Mostly because people don't think it is cute when your one year old starts screaming bloody murder in the middle of the ballet:) Thanks for walking in the back with her Brian! Krissa did a great job and we were so excited that Grandma Ann got to come up and watch her.

Krissa and the flowers Dad and Brady gave her.

Happy (early) Birthday Paislee!!

Paislee on her new zebra. Which actually she loves even though she can't touch the ground. We had Paislee's birthday a little early because my mom was going to be up here. She really liked her cake and ended up eating almost half of it. She didn't attack it like I thought she would but she really loved the taste of it. As you can see in the last picture while we weren't watching she got in the garbage and proceeded to eat cake out of the garbage plates. My little girl can sniff out food anywhere!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to the two most wonderful mothers Brian and I could ask for we love you!

Ballet dress rehearsal

Krissa will be a Spanish doll in the ballet toy shop this Sunday. She looked so pretty at dress rehearsal and she did a great job. I can't wait to watch the real thing!

Paislee 1 year pictures

My friend Amanda called to see if I wanted to do Paislee's one year pictures today and luckily she had just woken up from a nap. So we went over to her house and she took them. They all turned out so cute I have no idea how i will choose. Thanks a ton Amanda!!

Flash Back Friday

Since Brian has been lifting weights with his friends. I thought everyone might like to see him lifting weights when he was just a little kid. If you look close you can see the spot on his pants where he peed because it was too heavy:) And yes I had permission to use this photo.


My friend Carrie asked when was the last time I was in a leotard. Well this was one of the last times. Don't you love the leg warmers?

Getting to know my blogging buddies!

I got this tag off of my friend Kristin's blog and I thought it was kinda cute. So here goes

1. Answer the questions about the list of friends and/or family on your blog.
2. If you don’t have 18 names answer the question about the next name that you have not had a question for on your list.
3. Tag 5 people

When did you first meet the first person on your list? The first time Brian took me home to meet his parents. Since Larry is my brother in law.

What do you like about the third person on your list? Holly is a very fun person to be around and she usually has some pretty good gossip:) Also she was my boss for one summer and she was a great one.

What do you like best about the seventh and eighth people on your list?-I like April because she is great when it comes to keeping our girls in touch and she is a wonderful friend and mother. I like Marin because she is always so happy and it tends to rub off on me even if I'm in a bad mood. She is also a great friend and a wonderful mother.

How long have you known the ninth person on your list?-I would say I have know Tracy for at least 9 or 10 years she was once my sisters neighbor in salt lake.

What impresses you about the twelfth and thirteenth people on your list?-I am very impressed that Jen and Skip have traveled the places they have gone. Heck I haven't even been on a plane. Terrie is my mom-in-law and I'm impressed with her because she was able to leave an abusive relationship when she had 3 small boys and managed to raise them and 2 other boys to be great people. She is also a great mom in law and would do anything for her family.

What is a memory you have with the sixteenth person on your list?-Sadly I don't have to many memories of Bethany she is my sis in law but we have only been together a handful of times. I just remember her always being so happy and she is always good at telling it like it is. I love that about her.

Happy (early) Mothers Day!! To me!

Brian and the kids bought me these hanging flower pots for mothers day. And then Brady made me a single flower pot and his hand print at school. I'm lucky to have such a great family.

Walking (well sort of)

OK so she is not really walking. But considering that just last week she would fall over walking behind this toy. I was proud she could walk just like this.

Money well spent!

Our little monkey

Paislee loves to eat. In this picture she had just finished eating her dinner so I put her in the living room with her sippy cup and went back in to eat dinner. Well five seconds later she is under my chair begging for food. Good thing thunder thighs look good on a baby:)

A couple of firsts!

Brady waiting for his kindergarten screening. (I can't believe my little boy will be going to kindergarten. sniff sniff)

Paislee facing forward in her car seat. The first time she rode this way I was going to Hailey and she giggled and talked all the way there. Almost like she was saying "so this is what you people have been looking at."

Pailsee bugging Brady while he is trying to get some zzz's

This one I just had to share because she was sleeping so peacefully with her little binky and clutching her little luvy blanket.

A day at the park

Bad Dog, No Biscuit

I got home from girls night out on Thursday and happened to notice that my house phone said "no line" on it. I asked Brian and he said "I don't know but I haven't been able to get on the Internet either." I said did you check to see if your dog chewed on the wire. He said no. Well needless to say we went outside to find the dog had ripped out the phone wire from the side of the house. Brian said we either kill the dog, send him to training, or see if qwest needs a phone wire sniffing dog. So the next morning Brian drove Mowgli to burley for a little dog training 101. I told the dog that he better never miss with a woman's Internet connection again. One happy thing about it is Brian has a thousand more patience than me and figured out the wiring to hook up our phone. When I gave up just looking at it. I swear he can fix anything.

Mowgli had to spend the night in his kennel. Which hasn't happened in a long time.

Flash Back Friday

Today I thought I would share some older pictures of my family and the house I grew up in.

My family in 1986(Dad,Darin,Tiff,Me,Ray, Mom

If you were to climb in these hills you would find many pretend houses and phones made out of rock that me and my sister created. And yes there were mountain lions around. I still wonder where my parents were when I was playing in the mountains all day.

The view from my front porch. The kids in this picture are my nephew Quade (now 12),my niece Jamie (now 16), and my nephew shad (now 15).

Opinions please!!

I'm making this cake for paislee for her birthday and I really want your opinion on the colors I should do it in. I'm adding a picture of what the cake looks like with the colors they provided and the colors I bought along with the sprinkles and everything. I'm thinking of putting the big dot sprinkles in the middle of the circles in the wings but from there I'm not sure what colors to do the body, wings all of that. I ask Brian and he says I don't know it doesn't matter does it. Anyway I need some advice and I would appreciate any and all you can give me.
