My Lil' Piano Men

Here is my little piano men. I just love these boys. Even though they give me a run for my money sometimes!! I have to say like father like son(s) they love Scott's piano!

I Smell TROUBLE!!

Kandon is so busy now and is in to EVERYTHING!! I can't turn my head for a second or there is trouble! I accidentally left the pantry door open the other day and this is what I turned around to...him moving and knocking off all the soup cans. I can't wait to see what else this boy comes up with. Just yesterday I went to Scott's basketball game at the church and while we where sitting on the stage Karter asked me to help him and I turn around to Kandon backing off the stage (like he was getting off the couch or something) LUCKILY I caught his hand just enough to slow his fall to where he got a little mark on his forehead. The best part of it was not only did I feel like "mother of the year" but his face while backing off looking like "haha mom, I'm off to the races"!!

Happy New Year 2009

Our new Year started off with kids, family, games and bowling. We went bowling for new years eve with Scott's sister Shawna (and Mr. T of course) and brother Lance and all the kids. It was lots of fun. We ended up spending the night at Mr T. and Shawna's house and playing games, watching movies and waking up to a excellent breakfast. Lance got sick during the day and then that night I got sick...starting hovering over the toilet and having an awful stomach flu (or so I think)! I got feeling better the next day but Scott ended up getting the stomach flu on sunday morning and spent the whole day in bed. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what the rest of this year is yet to bring our way.

My hopes for 2009!!

Christmas 2008

Hope all of you had a fun christmas. We sure did and the boys had so much fun. It was really cute watching Karter and Kandon play with each others toys. I even got lucky and got a new ipod nano (I have never had one) and I absolutely love it. Have a happy New Year!!

Once There was a Snowman

The other day me, Karter and my neighbor girls Sadie and Jessica built this snowman. The kids were so proud of it and we had so much fun. Now today we should say "once there was a snowman"!
Here is what I mean by "once there was a snowman"
It has snowed so much today...more than I can remember getting in Utah all in one day for a long, long time. I would say just today today we have got over 7"!!
I will end in saying "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"! Hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas!!

Sick Baby

I know I haven't posted in awhile because I have been busy getting ready for Christmas...but today I am taking care of a sick baby. Kandon has been throwing up today. I guess it's better now than on Christmas...right? We are still alive and I will post pic's soon! Just thought I would quickly update.

Bits & Pieces Photography

Ok so I have went out on a limb and decided to start doing some photography on the side. I recently finished a photo class and decided rather than just taking cute pictures of my kids I found out I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I had some friends that knew I was taking the class ask me to take their pictures so I thought why not do it for everyone that wants some. The link is bitsandpiecesphotography Let me know what you think of the ones I have done so far, be honest it won't hurt my feelings as I am just starting!!

Happy Birthday Shannon

Ok I am late...I know. This seems like it is my excuse a lot lately!! But I was in Arizona for Shannon's birthday (November 29th) and had no pic's there to post. This is the only recent one I could find that I like of me (especially) and her. She somehow escapes all the pic's I take lately.
I just wanted to tell Shan how much she means to me. I value our friendship with all my heart. Shannon and I have been through EVERYTHING together. I truly have one of the greatest friends you could ever ask for. Hope your day was PERFECT...you deserve it!! Luv you tons!!!
