BUSY BEES!

Here is a little sample of what we have been up to this last week.

We kicked Elias out of his crib to get him ready for a big bed so we can use his crib for one of the babies. Here is a picture of Elias waving to us his last night in his crib; if only he knew what the next day would bring, he probably would have given us the finger instead of a cute wave! (PS, ignore the purple sheets, all his were dirty).

He was so happy to help his dad, if only he'd known what he was helping him put together.

Quading with the Jensens/Slys.

Elias: "How come my mom is making me ride this little quad with her instead of the big ones?!"

Emma has been begging us to take her to the snow so yesterday we finally went. She was so super excited to make a snow angel.


Elias: "Have you noticed a theme to this last week, me getting the crappy end of each stick. Why am I dressed like a mutant with a girls jacket and a man's pair of gloves on?!"

5 hours of driving for 2 hours of playing - yay! If you're bored, you can check out a video of our day in the snow. It's under our "video" links on the side.

MY FIRST FIELD TRIP!

Emma got to go on her first field trip yesterday. They went to the Fire Station and then headed over to the park to eat lunch and freeze their little bums off for an hour while they played on the playground. Do you like how Emma acts like she is angry to be sitting up in the fire truck while all the other kids only got to watch her, I know she liked being the only one who got to do that!

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!

My how crafty one gets when he cant have what he wants. He moved the stool over there and got himself or tried to get himself a cupcake. Just like his dad, always after the good stuff!

FORGIVE ME...

Forgive me for I have sinned. We had to buy a new car because of the arrival of our babies we were short a seat in the Trailblazer. We decided to buy a Nissan Armada and are pretty happy with it but I have received a few comments from those who know me best and they are all related to how I have cheated on my love for Chevys. I know, I know, they are like a rock, how could I get something else?! Jared made me get the Armada. So, talk to Jared for cheating but yes I do feel guilty when I drive around in my foreign car.

ANNOUNCING...

Now that the shock has finally worn off (mostly), Jared and I are very excited about the news. Emma couldn't be more happy and can't wait for twin sisters (she hopes) that she can name Bella and Ella; and as for Elias, well, he couldn't care less and to him it's just a couple more things for him to chew and sit on.

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE!

I love that my kids are gay for any kind of present, big or small, expensive or cheap. Yes I know this wont last forever so I am lovin' it while it does. We had a great Christmas and I hope everyone else did as well.

Every Christmas Eve my family gets together and has fondue before we open presents. Eli loved the olives on his fingers until he ate one and he spit it out as quickly as he put it in his mouth.

Eli loves to push anything and everything around the house. "Thanks grandpa for my lawnmower, tomorrow I will help daddy outside."

"Littlest Pet Shop...Yes!!"

MY FIRST YEAR TURNING 29!

Happy Birthday to me! People in my ward asked me how old I was going to be and I told them 29 and no one believed me, so yes, I did just turn 29 but I am sure I will be telling people that for the next 5 years. I had a great day. We went and got our Christmas tree, decorated for Christmas and then Jared surprised me with dinner to The Melting Pot. It was quite heavenly if I do say so myself.

Dont pay attention to my hair, it was raining that day so it had to go up.

Once the dessert came, it was every man for himself.

Good thing they shut the curtains on you so you have complete privacy otherwise, how would Jared be able to lick his plate :)
