Now, which picture should I use for the Christmas card? Hmmmm?

You scream, I scream...

It's so fun watching your children delight in things like ice cream in a great big waffle cone!

Mommas night out! I went to see New Moon with some friends, and we had so much fun. We paid a few dollars extra, but got gift bags filled with all kinds of fun stuff, like lipgloss, and vampire teeth. I even got a chocolate cupcake, with strawberry frosting that said "Bella's Home Girl" on it. Lucky! Good times!

Super Dad!

Dad is sooo strong, he can pull us all at the same time!

Halloween 2009

We took the kids trick or treating around the neigborhood, and had a great time. My oldest daughter was a Vampire, my middle daughter was a princess who refused to let me do her hair and make-up, and my little guy was a cheetah! The weather was nice, so it made for a pleasant evening. Now if we can just keep dad from sneaking into the kids candy!

Let the Potty Training Begin!

Jared has started the process of potty training! These are his first pair of "Big Boy" Underwear he has ever worn! (I'm sure he will not be happy about this picture when he is older, but thats what moms do, right?) We started in September and he has now gone 3 full days (except nights) without wearing a diaper, and no accidents! He says "Mom, I gotta go wiwy bad!" He also says "Mom, you so proud of me, huh!" I just eat up how cute this is. And its true what they say about letting them do it on their own time, it's been pretty easy, because a little incouragement goes a long way when they are willing to do it. The best part is, we will be saving soooo much money on diapers!!!

First Day of School

August 2009, and Madison is heading off to 4th grade and Kate is starting Kindergarten. They were so excited that they woke up early and were ready to go way before they needed to be, but that made the morning very pleasant. They both had a great first day!

Fun in Idaho

Yes, its summer, and the kids are in coats. We went to Rexburg, Idaho in August, and it was COLD! We still had fun though. We picked Huckleberries in the mountains, and looked for bugs in Grandma Greats back yard. We ate fresh raspberries every morning, sometimes right from the bush. It felt so nice to be out in the country!

Yes, these are my goofy kids. I wonder who they take after?

My little family! I love them so much,

they are all my valentines!
