Let it snow!!

The snow has been so beautiful and Sophs and Mike have had so much fun playing in it. Wish I could be out there too. I love it!

Growing girls

The girls are growing up so fast! Kate's just about to crawl (I think I have slow kids) and Sophie had her first salon haircut! She was so cute sitting up there, she did great and loved every minute of it.

Starting all over...

So I received a text from Crin Friday morning saying that she had fallen and that she was bleeding from the incision and she was heading into the doctors. When the doctor saw her and felt her Achilles he knew right away that she had rupture it again. She had surgery in the afternoon and we now start the healing process all over again. Aren't life challenges so much fun!

Sophie Klum??

Soph is such a little poser! These pics made me laugh so hard.

Happy Halloween!

Kate was a ballerina for our playgroup party, she looked so cute in the tutu my friend Dena made for her.

Gramme was a cat so she and mouse Sophie looked pretty cute together.

We had so much fun with the girls. Kate and Georgia looked adorable all dressed up together wondering what the heck we were doing to them.

MIke Rocks

So I'm totally holed up with my leg in a cast and Mike is being so great! I must admit the novelty of having everyone do everything for me has worn off completely and so my attitude may be slipping a bit south but Mike is being so patient and nice. So I'm just giving him a little 'shout out'. Thanks babe, you're the best!!

Just like her Daddy

Mike was out washing his motorcycle and Sophie thought her bike needed a wash too. She totally carried it out to the driveway and started washing away. She's the funniest kid, I just love her to pieces!

Miss Kate

Just a couple recentish pics of Kate... she's growing up so big and is so smiley and fun! I think I finally like being a mom of 2. Just being honest. :)

The Glass Castle

I just finished reading The Glass Castle, and it was seriously one of the best books I've read. It's a memoir about a girls upbringing with really out-there parents. It's amazing to me some of the things people have to go through in life and then I think about what a crap I am to ever complain about a thing. I have so much to be grateful for, but definitely have days where I'm just in the dumps, so I'm going to make a change. I recently went to a seminar that talked about how complaining affects you and the way you percieve things, so I'm going to make a serious effort not to allow myself to do it. I have such a great family with the funniest, cutest little girls and a fox of a hubby, the church, a home I love, and a job I totally enjoy so thats it no more complaining! BTW, its sort of a sad book, but sooooo good. You should read it.

The Puyallup Fair

We had such a great time today at the fair. Today was opening day so we went to the parade to kick it off then Kylie and Sophs had a blast on the rides. Fun day!!

Family Campout

Yep, we totally slept in tents!

Sophs looking so cute after a rough nights sleep

Swimmin like fish

We spent Labor Day weekend camping at Sun Lakes with my family. We had tons of fun boating, eating, relaxing and just sitting around chatting. It was the first campout for us as a family and aside from not sleeping, and massive wind at night, we had a blast!

More Idaho pics

Going in for her first deer kiss...

First horse ride with Lance and Jennifer

Jenn lives in the Mountains, and we saw a herd of these crossing the Salmon River on our drive home.

Trip to Idaho

Sophs wanted to drive.

Her new pose, so funny.

Crazy kids with way too much energy.

We had such a great time in Idaho with Mike's family. The kids had so much fun playing together! We went to Bear World on our way back to Idaho Falls. It's the coolest place, that totally a deer they are petting! They got to ride rides and pet deer, goat, chickens, feed fish and ducks, and drive into the wilderness part with tons of bears. It was so fun. We had such a good time. Thanks Ryan and Lisa!

Playing with baby Kate

Happy 3 Months!!

I can't believe she's already 3 months old... she's getting so big and much easier. Tana my older sister took Sophs for a day and night, and it's amazing how much of a break it was to just have Kate. I can't believe I ever thought having 1 kid was hard!
