~IT'S BEEN A WHILE~

Ok, so I was gonna do so well on blogging this year...and I didn't. But a little update for those that don't know...we are expecting baby #5 in March. We are very excited and the kids are over the moon!!! I have a feeling it is a boy because I am already having blood pressure problems, and I don't have that with my girls. But we will have to wait and see. I am 13 weeks now so we will find out in November what it is. Life is good and the kids are good. Not to much else new I guess. I will post some updated pics later.

~My Birthday Weekend~

So we had Macazlyn's baptism on Saturday the 27th and then it was my birthday on the 28th. After the baptism we went ice skating with the kids. I was the only one brave enough to put the skates on and skate with the kids and I had a blast. I have always loved ice skating and did it quite a bit growing up in South Dakota on the pond they made in the park. So my mom, Tom, Vanessa, and Ben stayed on the side and watched...waiting for me to fall. But I didn't LOL I even did some spins and triple sow cow's. Hahaha Ok well maybe just the spins but it was fun and I am SO glad we went. Then on my birthday we went to church and then came home and hung out as a family. It was very nice and relaxing!! Tom left church a little early and came home and decorated the house for my birthday and then before I walked in the house he came out and gave me a crown and a wand. Yes I was the Queen for the day!! It was pretty cute and he did a good job of making my day special!!

~Macazlyn's Baptism~

I can't believe that the day has come to baptise my baby girl. She turned 8 and we had her baptism Feb. 27, 10. It was a very special day and I am so thankful for my amazing family. My parents weren't gonna be able to come but at the last minute my mom was able to get a ticket and be here. I didn't tell the kids she was coming and it was a fun surprise for them. I am so thankful to have the gospel in my life and that Tom is a preisthood holder and that he could baptise our daughter. It was an amazing day!!

~Valentines Day 2010~

I had a really fun Valentines this year!! We celebrated a day early since Valentines Day was Sunday this year. It was my friend Jeanette's birthday also so we went and got pedicures and then got our makeup done. It was so relaxing and just some fun girl time. Then we met up with our hubby's for dinner. It was a GREAT day all the way around and it was wonderful to celebrate with my amazing husband!!!

~BETTER BLOGGER~

Ok...so it's been a really long time since I have blogged and yes, I have let it slide. I really enjoy blogging and I want to get back but after so much time passed I couldn't decide if I should try to go back and do what I missed. But the thought of going back was to overwhelming so I am just starting from now. So here we are February of 2010. Not to much has changed. The kids are all older, sweeter, cuter, and taller LOL Tom and I are the same ol' (no taller thanks goodness). We are working on some goals for ourselves and just living life. So here's to being a BETTER BLOGGER!!

~GIRLIE GIRLS~

I am SOOO happy that I have girlie girls and that they still like to wear fluffy girlie stuff!! I found these skirts and loved them and so do the girls :o) So here are some pics I snapped. The last pic has one of Macazlyns friends that spent the weekend with us. And yes she is in 2nd grade with Macazlyn and her same age. And yes she is shorter than Brinlyn :o)

~LITTLE MAN~

I have been so bad at blogging it's not even funny. I am gonna try to start back up and it has been hard trying to decide if I should go back and try to do all the old stuff or just start with now. As you can see I decided to start with now. Drake wanted to go get chicken eggs one day and he looked SO cute walking out there I just had to grab the camera. When he got back he said "here Mommy, I got eggs for you". It was so sweet :o) Drake just loves to play with Daddy's Itouch and when we were in the car the other day I thought it looked so funny to see such a little guys all hooked up with the technology. He is such a little character and makes us all laugh all the time!! All the kids were up stairs cleaning their rooms the other day and had all put on the sports shorts...but Drake doesn't have any. So he found some of Hunter's old ones and put them on.
