When Mommy's not looking!

So I must preface this by saying that my two kids are SO different! I mean not only the fact that they are different gender, but in every way they are total opposite! So this actually happened a week ago, but I am just getting to posting it now. I was in the shower getting ready for the day when the kids came running in about something, and I thought I could smell baby powder. So I said to Ammon, "have you been in the powder?" And of course he says "No, but Abbey has." She of course wouldn't come all the way in the bathroom, so when I got out I went and looked and sure enough, she had emptied the entire thing. At first I was kind of upset, but then realized that I needed to take the responsibility since I left it where she could get it.....Then as I looked around some more I realized she hadn't done it JUST to make a mess....she was taking good care of her babies! Then I really just had to laugh and tell her she was being a good mommy! Now to tie it all in with what I said about my kids being so different.....Ammon would have, and still never would do something like that! Go figure!

Happy Birthday Abigail!!!

My sweet Abbey turns 2 years old today and I can't believe it!!! Time flys by unbelievably fast, but then again I have to remind myself that she is only 2. She does so much for herself already and she seems to be miles ahead of where Ammon was when he turned 2. So happy birthday Abbey...I love you!

Random Information.....

So my friend Jenny did this on her blog, and I thought I would try it too cause it looked kind of fun. SO this is what you do...first, read the question, second, type the first answer that comes to your mind in Google image search and third post the first picture that comes up. According to her, it was hard sometimes to use the first image, but do it cause it can be kind of funny! So here I go.

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpas!

Ok, so it wasn't the whole weekend, but it was SO enjoyable. On Friday, we went up to Logan which is about 1 hour from where we live, to stay with my parents for the night. Why? Well, two reasons really.....The first was that we were going to go to my nieces baptism the next morning and if we rode with my parents we wouldn't have to leave as early and I wouldn't have to drive alone in a possible storm. The second reason being that Andrew went to the doctor for the first time since we have been married and tested positive for influenza A, so he was VERY sick and we didn't want to get it! But the whole reason for this post is because I was reminded that the kids really get away with a lot more when we are visiting grandma and grandpa and they end up doing stuff that I would never let slide here at home. I hope that everyone enjoys the pictures as much as I did!

What A Day......

So have you ever had that kind of a day where things are going wrong but the only thing you can do in the end is shrug your shoulders and laugh? Well, here it is only 2:45 in the afternoon, and that is how our day has been. We woke up to a HUGE snow storm. For those of you that do not live in Utah....




So on these days the kids and I do not go anywhere, but unfortunately, Andrew still must go to school and work. So, after school, a friend of his was headed to our place to pick him up and take him to work. Well, because of the massive amount of snow that had accumulated and had been plowed, he bot stuck right at the end of our driveway. In the effort of myself, Matt, and a passer by we were able to get it unstuck, but not before causing an accident between two other cars. Nothing major, but still an accident. Then in the attempt of Andrew to get our car into our driveway, it got stuck twice. And now the final resting place until we figure out what to do, our car is in the middle of our driveway. Now the one thing I have failed to mention is that I was outside for about 30-40 minutes, while the kids were inside....alone. When I finally checked on them, they were much too happy and this is what I found.....




Yes this is my computer, and the keys that go on it. It is completely my fault. I was in such a rush to get outside, that I didn't shut my computer when I left it. It was such a mess, but luckily we had all the pieces and I was able to get it all put back together. WHAT A DAY!!!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to everyone out there reading my blog! Mine sure has started out well, and I have blessings to be thankful for as we venture on to some new experiences in our lives. One of the many things I am so thankful for is my wonderful family, both mine and my husbands extended families, and our own little family. I, as I'm sure many of you have, have made some resolutions this year that I hope will stick and my ultimate goal is to better myself and my family so that we can be better physically, and spiritually. It makes it difficult sometimes for Family Home Evening, and scripture study as a family since Andrew works evenings, but I have made it a goal to have FHE with the kids every Monday night and try reading the Book of Mormon with them and help them understand some of the great teachings and stories that it contains. I too am trying to be healthier and in turn trying to be an influence on my kids to eat healthier and want to continue being active! So happy new year to all of you, and many blessings to you on sticking to your resolutions this year.

A little late....

We have been busy tring to get a lot of things done before Andrew started school again, so I didn't take the time to post on Christmas and New Years. We had such a fun Christmas and the kids got plenty of gifts to keep them occupied and having a fun time for quite some time I wouls think. On Christmas Eve we always go over to Andrew's parents house for a HUGE feast. This year the broccoli cheese soup was left out and we still had enough left overs for Christmas day. Ammon didn't wake up until 6:50, and then we had to wake up Abigail at 7:15 because Ammon just couldn't wait any longer. The kids were at such a fun age this time around. Ammon was much more aware of what was happening and Abbey was SO excited because brother was. And on Christmas day we got visits from both sets of grandparents and that really made the day complete. Then on the 28th we got together with my family....we always do our family get together after christmas and it is so much fun. We go sledding, eat soup, and then all the grandkids get to open their pajamas from grandma and grandpa. This is when some wonderful memories are made.
