Two . . . and Five.

Leah is TWO today, but if you ask her she says she is "Two on my birthday and five."  If you ask her dad I think he would say she is two and SIXTEEN!!  I think he is still trying to figure out the girl thing, and she is ALL girl!!  She loves shoes, dresses, babies, lipgloss, getting her hair done and pretty much ANYTHING girly.

So it's December . . .

Time to update the blog a little.  It's late and I can't think of anything great to say, but I did include FIVE pictures, so that is worth AT LEAST "five thousand words" right??  Just pretend that it was something REALLY cute and funny ; )

Nash found his new favorite food - SHRIMP!!

he has always LOVED it, but thanks to his Aunt Aimee he now knows that it is not just something you order from a restaurant!

Leah is being her GIRLY little self, always changing clothes, playing dress-up and trying on different pairs of shoes.  She LOVES to wear boots.

and she HATES to wear pants . . .

Ty is becoming quite the little reader, he is especially likes to read to his brother and sister, but I think they like it even more!!

Happy Birthday to Ty!!

Ty had an EXTRA fun Turkey Day this year, not just because he got to hang out with cousins and eat lots of good food, or because he got to go to the Jazz game with his best friend and eat junk food, BUT because it was also his BIRTHDAY!!  I know, I know,  I sound the same as any other mom when I say that  "I cannot believe that he is SEVEN!!"  But is is SO true!  Time has gone by SO fast!  Ty is such a great kid, he is SO sweet to his little sister, he LOVES school, he LOVES to read,  he LOVES football (both watching and playing), he LOVES the Utes,  he LOVES icecream, and he LOVES Pumpkin Pie.  We LOVE you TY!!

{Not Quite So Innocent}

Ever since I posted THIS post about Nash I have had lots of questions regarding the actual horse that caused poor Nashy's injuries. Now I know you can't imagine this sweet little horse trampling my little Nash, but it is true . . . this is in fact "Biscuit".  Nash is a tough kid and made a speedy recovery, but I don't think he has forgotten - A few days ago he said  "I have been bucked off a horse, kicked by a horse (I haven't been able to verify this one yet!!), and trampled by a horse, I sure hope one doesn't BITE me!!"  I can't guarantee he won't get bit, you just never know with Nash!

SoCCeR

Well Nash has wrapped up another successful soccer season, that is if you consider

Picking Grass. . .

Chasing Butterflies . . .

Chatting with girls . . .

And sitting in the goal . . .

. . . a success.  I know Dave doesn't!!  He could hardly stand to watch!  Oh well, there is always spring soccer I guess.  Oh wait, he did actually kick the ball one time -

. . . after we offered him a trip to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard.

{Another New Lens, Old/New Camera & Poor Nash}

I FINALLY talked Dave into letting me buy THE lens I have been dreaming of for my camera - it came today and I had to take it outside and test it out.  Earlier today I found my very first digital camera (It was at the bottom of my closet, I was sure that it got lost in our move back from Florida, I thought it was the moving company, WHOOPS!!) anyways, Ty has been wanting a camera so I charged it up and let him go - he was LOVING it.  Meanwhile, Nash decided that his Fisher Price Digital Camera was not REAL enough for him, he claims that Ty's has WAY more buttons than his does!!  Can't you just FEEL his pain??!!  Poor Nashy.  Little Leah was just happy to be outside playing, but maybe NOT so happy to have her picture taken!
