Leah the Angel . . .

We don't usually use those two words in the same sentence too often around our house (those of you who know Leah know EXACTLY why!!)  But she has been LOVING her angel wings the last few days and I had to take this picture of her trying to comfort Nash, who OF COURSE was having "the worst day of his life" AGAIN!

FOUR posts in ONE

So I have been meaning to blog about our latest for a while now - so here goes!!

I took Ty and Nash skiing a few weeks ago, it started out a LITTLE slow and I was wondering if ANY of us would survive!  Luckily my Dad and Sisters and Brother were all there to help out!  They FINALLY caught on and ended up doing GREAT!  We really had a fun night!!

 Ty, Hagen, Nash & Kendell

Me and Nashy

Dave and I went on a cruise a couple of weeks ago.  It was SOOO nice to get away and hang out with ADULTS for a while!!  Although, I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to get myself and Leah back into the REAL WORLD again (she stayed with Grandma and Grandpa for a week and was VERY pampered!!)

Speaking of Leah, she continues to be a little troublemaker - getting into anything and everything she can get her little hands on!!  This is her latest art project:

I am still on a quest to get more pictures of my kids together, it is NOT an easy thing to do!!  Here are the latest:

What we've been up to . . .

i know, i know…long time no blog. i have no excuse really, well aside from the fact that i have been crazy busy…and sleeping alot more than usual.  yes, it is true, we have baby #4 on the way - due July 11th and for some reason I cannot stay up until the wee hours of the morning working on pictures and blogging anymore!!  I have so much to share, but quite honestly the thought of blogging takes me to straight to the edge. i try to keep up with it..really i do, but night after night, i myself doing something, anything but blogging..chatting, facebooking, scrapbooking (I realized that my #1 child has 5 scrapbooks and my #3 child is yet to have one, so I have been working like CRAZY to get hers somewhat going!!)  so this is what we have been up to the last few weeks, the boys went icefishing with Dave and his dad, Leah had her birthday, LOTS of movie watching, Nash broke his nose by falling off of a stool and having it land on his him, and yes we did have christmas BUT my camera broke the day before so I had to use my point and shoot, which is fine just not really worth sharing!  Now I am back to scrapbooking and trying to keep Nash off the injured list!!

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!
