Catch Up! January

New Years we went to go see these fine people. (Jeff's parents) We enjoyed our visit.

Thank You.

New Years day we built the most awesome snow man in history!

Lilly LOOOOOOVES the snow even when she was so samll she could spend all day in it no matter how cold her nose gets.

What did Jace think of the snow? I dont think he was to impressed, or maybe he was just boiling hot under the layers of clothes he was in!

Snow Angel.

Lilly's first time going sledding! Yes I made her wear a bike helmut!

Faster Daddy!

Jeff and Lilly built a snow sled after they knocked over the snowman.

Catch Up! Christmas!

Jace and the tree Im just glad he wasnt crawling yet!

Lilly cut her hair with her safety scissors --- she snuck them from the kitchen drawer while I was folding laundry. Suits me right for trying to clean up!

So I took her in to get her long hair chopped off.

Jace turned 6 months !! Here he is awaiting his shots.

Christmas Eve opening cozies for tonight!

Our tree after Santa left.

The kids before unwrapping the presents! I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Jace's haul!

Lilly's haul minus the kitchen Jeffs parents bought her and the oak toy chest Jeff built her. Those we big heavy and I didnt want to move them! lol

Catch Up! Lilly's 4th Birthday

Having lunch at Panda Express and acting a little "out there." Before we took her to go to my grandparents house so we could fix her SURPRISE!

We painted Lilly's room for her Birthday! It took almost 4 days and was such a PaIN! but it was so very worth it to see her smiling face! It was even better that it was a surprise! She was with my grandparents the whole time we were painting.

Dirty, tired and coolllllddddddd... burrrrrr

Her own dance studio!

The finished product! My grandma made the blanket and the valence!

Her birthday party with my and Jeff's grandparents and Pirate Island Pizza!

It looks blue but it was very very bright purple!

Catch Up! November

Lilly's Autumn Tree art project.

Jace turned 5 months old.

One reason why I life St George, on this day it was 80 in the middle of November!

We stopped at the park had some lunch and took some pictures.

For practice and for fun I took some pictures of some close friends of ours.

Finally the leafs in Hurricane started to change and I got some good shots of the kids.. I would have liked to stay longer but Jace wasnt in a good mood and he messed all over, so we had to cut it short. So long to my favorite time of year!

Catch Up! Fall

Lilly stared dance late September.

Jace started solids Oct 1st. Way to go big boy! 4 months old soon, my how time flies.

We went to Star Nursery this year to pick out our pumpkins.

and here they are :)

We also had a play date at the Stahli Farms Pumpkin Patch -- Tons of fun!

Lilly and I whipped up some candied apples in the back yard! They look AMAZING but tasted horrible! If you could even get your mouth opened about closed to chew!

This is after Lilly's Halloween party that her dance class had. She was Minnie Mouse for the party.

These are the POPCORN BALL GHOSTS that we made for the party! Way cute!

I put them together and Lilly drew the faces on.

Of course Halloween Lilly was a Mermaid (I made it and I think Im going to buy them from now on lol.) and Jace was the cutest Turtle I have ever seen!
