So, as a mom I realize I probably think this is alot cuter than it really is, but oh well! She is such and adorable little girl. She is getting so big and we are so thankful for all the joy she brings to our little family.

Noah's smile gets bigger.

Who knew this boy's smile could get bigger, but he emerged from his room proving it was possible! Made me laugh!

Everybody is starting to feel better.

My husband brought me home these beautiful flowers! He surprised me with them!
Yes, I am thrilled that he brought them to me!




Dad and Noah having fun in the kitchen! Yes, we are slowly getting the kid to wear clothes!
Gabe and Julie, either the best of friends or the worst of enemies. Right now it was the best of friends.

Julie found one of Belle's dresses and decided it fit her. So she wore it!

Gabe has his pet turtle around his neck.

I love smiles!
Yes, I do!

Gabe's First Time Skiing!

So here is Gabe at Kelly's Canyon. He was so thrilled to be able to go skiing and really did a good job I am told! He went skiing for 7 hours and was asking to go again the next day! Isn't he super cute!

Valentines Day!

So, I have gotten a few complaints that I haven't posted in a while. Sorry, we have been sick here. My camera battery is dead and I need to charge it. With that being said, this Valentines Day, Toby and Josh and Joe, decided to make dinner for their wives. They met at Josh's house at 3 pm and started the cooking. These are the pictures I got before my camera died.
Joe wore himself out prepping. I think a couple trips to the gym and a boy band try out would fix that!


Josh and Michelle got out their beautiful china for us to use. I love the pattern!


The table waiting to be set.

The guys did an excellent job and we had a decadent dinner that I would dare you to find anywhere else in the world! Linguini with a killer wine sauce and loaded with seafood. Stuffed mushrooms to die for. Bacon wrapped scallops and stuffed shrimp. It was delicious! For dessert, chocolate cheesecake with raspberries and strawberries. When we were done eating the guys realized they had forgot to bring out the crab legs and halibut! We were stuffed and couldn't enjoy those! Thank you guys for making Valentines Day so nice! We super enjoyed it! We ought to play the game again! It was priceless seeing Joe laughing until he cried! Maybe next time I will have a babysitter. Thanks to Josh and Michelle for letting it be at their lovely home! Joe and Aurora, thanks for the drinks you brought! Toby, thank you , for being my sweet husband and doing so much for me everyday! I love you soo much!
Oh, and it was Aurora's birthday! Happy Birthday!

Quite Musical!

For the size of our church we have some immense talent! This is from this morning. Unfortunately, you can't see any of the instrument players, they did awesome. I have to say my mom wrote all the instrument parts except the piano! Isn't she talented! I love you, mom! There were two violins, two harmonica's, cello, and piano. Hope you enjoy! This morning in church was our Creation Celebration. We celebrated that God created all. It is a blessing to know that and not have to rely on some random chance of evolution!

Little Miss Megan

We got to have dinner with Casey, Rachel and Megan Schanz last week. Little Miss Megan was too cute! I just had to post these pictures of her in one of Julie's ballet skirts! I am sure she thought who is this crazy lady with the camera.


I asked Noah to show me his Superman underwear, he happily obliged! Isn't he something else! I think Julie was getting ready to show me hers. :)

Without Dad Wrestling.

So, you don't have to have dad to wrestle. I came into our room to see what the rucous was and this is what I found.Yes, Noah was in on it, but if you notice he is on the outskirts of the wrestling, don't tell him that!
See. You can't tell him he isn't part of their wrestling.


So, when they were done they were worn out, but happy.

The kids perform in church!

Gabe and Julie are it the front row. Julie has the white tights on and Gabe is 4 people to her left. The guy with his hands in his sleeves most of the time.

Okay, I know this is not professional grade or anything, but Gabe and Julie are in Patch the Pirate Club. They memorize scripture and learn Biblical values. Such as one of the songs that they sing. You go first I'll go last. One day when they were standing in line for lunch Gabe was first. (a big deal to him) He looked at me and said,"Wait, you go first, I go last, that's what the Bible says." With that being said he went to the end of the line. I am so happy that we are blessed with Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Santos who take precious time out of their week to do this! Thank you ladies! So here you are. The sound isn't great and it may seem long, but it is worth watching all of it! Nothing is sweeter to the ears than hearing our children sing praises to God and quoting Scripture.

When you see it shaking, it was they were soooo cute you had to laugh! So sorry.

Chug-a-Chug-a-Choo-Choo!

This is the thing to do at home these days.

It seems like I always have a tag along or two or three.
Some of my shirts will never be the same again!

Fun at home!

The day is not complete if one of them doesn't fall asleep on Dad!Noah found a new hiding spot.
He was pretty delighted with himself.Julie and Noah tried to fit at the same time, until Julie got down and said,"I am just to big!"
She did however try it out by herself before to long.

Noah wanted to be doing what Gabe and Julie were doing very badly!
Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is the name of the game.
It is serious work!

Dress up day!

Julie and Noah decided it was dress-up day. They use a wide variey of things from regular clothes and mom's old ballet stuff. (yes, I was much smaller back than!) So this is one of the outfits Noah was in. Bear in mind they dress themselves.I found him playing with Mr. Potato Head. He is a puppy, hence the leash. :)
Gabe has taken an extreme liking to the Gameboy and is even pretty good at it. Mom has to limit his time or he would play it all day!
Here is how Julie ended up looking. I guess she thought she was lacking in certain areas and took it upon herself to remedy it.This is our Noah's feet.He was very proud of his shoe, but when he went to show me he lifted up the wrong foot!

Gabe throughout dress up time just played the game.
Yes, the girl has her own sense of style, but we all knew that already!
Can't believe how old he is looking.
This was Noah's original outfit!
This is from the other day. Julie wanted me to put these on, so I did.
Here is Dad and Belle. She is getting chunky.

Look at those BEAUTIFUL eyes!
It is really to bad we have such a cranky baby! :)
Sitting up in the Boppy.
A little unwanted help.
