Update

I gave Hannah some applesauce one day. She decided her doll needed some too. Silly, silly gal! This is the only picture I have taken in a while. Maybe if I was cool and had an iPhone like everyone else I would take more because of convenience.

This months Ensign contains an article "How do I help this child?" The cover page is of one of the cutest and sweetest girls on earth and she happens to be in my ward. Take a look on page 57 or here.

I will try and do better at taking pictures. Things have been plain and simple around here lately.

Disaster

Have you ever had water damage
done to your home?
This is our second experience
with it.
First time was when we were living in
my uncles home.
The second time on Thursday.
Luckily I was only
away
for about an hour.
These tornado wind producing
fans are loud!
The big silver thing is a
dehumidifier.
Hopefully....
they will be gone soon.

Good Laugh!

Our neighbors went on a cruise to the New England states. I just had to share this. Too funny!!!! Sorry if it's offensive but oh my goodness!

"And the rain came tumbling down"

Dont expect to see pictures on here for a good while.Our camera has died for good and who know's when we will get another one since, well, when it rains it pours i.e. car repairs, graphics card out on computer, needing to replace a tire on the car soon, and the good old camera. Life is still great and wonderful though! We are happy as can be. Grateful our lives are built on a solid foundation and not a sandy one.

And for some fun, here's what this kids are up too:

Hannah: walking. saying Hi to everyone she see's. has 4 teeth with another one coming in on top. walking everywhere. getting into everything. she loves dogs and animals of any kind. loves her brother. is almost 14 months old. Is dressing up as a cute spider for Halloween (FREE costume can't pass that up). so very sweet.

Ben: learning new things all the time. cracking his parents up along with driving us bonkers. enjoying pre-school. learning to trace letters & numbers. Can spell BOO. loves Halloween. Going to be Thomas the Train for Halloween (i got his costume for $1.00, I'm one frugal mommy!). still wont poo in the potty (i so know you wanted to know that... any tips?). so smart. he starts primary next year. Very much a handful, but fun fun fun.

Mommy & Daddy: staying busy with church callings. work , and our children.

What we've been up to

Grandma time. Brenna is Hannah's cousin. They are 9 months apart.
The family cabin near Oakley Utah. Heaven on earth there. Beautiful!
Playing in the dirt and loving it.
At Lillian Falls near the cabin.
Matthew (my husband) with Hannah, Rebekah (Matthew's sister) and Brenna.
Leading the way. Looks like he makes a good leader.
wrestling with Grandpa.
Hannah Banana. She will be 1 this week.

Sick....blah!

Sick of being sick!
*Ben is sick with a hacking cough
*Mom is sick with a bad cold
*We are waiting to take baby Hannah to the Doctor's today since it appears she has pink eye and a cold and most likely an ear infection. She has kept us up the last 2 nights. Poor bugger.
We are getting sick frequently. What gives!? I guess is kids catch something it spreads like wildfire.

must find now

Funny

 

So this is a picture of my cousin. She is going to school at Southern Utah University in Cedar City. Well, I'm sure my Aunt gave her that vinyl lettering in the back that reads "remember...nothing good happens after midnight" Love it and I am so making my kids put this above their doors when they go to college. 

Sesame Street: Cookie Monster In The Library

Sesame Street - Grover the flight attendant

I updated to the new posting format. I am not seeing the video button to add a video. Does anyone know what I am talking about, if so where is it. I have some great videos to upload of Hannah.

i am thankful

for homemade playdough, my children, husband, and oh so much more. Happy Thanksgiving.

Yesterday we went to the Tooele Family Center. I think I have found something to help Ben this winter. The Family Center is free. One Mondays we can go there and Ben can listen to stories being read, then do a craft. On Tuesday's they have a little preschool hour. We can check out books, dvd's, games, toys, and cd's all for free! Yesterday we brought home the game Boogle jr. and Benjamin has enjoyed playing with it. Now, the only problem is I am car-less during the day. How to get there??

Tooele Family Center Blog

So my blog is blocked :0). For those of you who left comments, I knew you were visiting. I was getting worried since the last few weeks people from lots of different countries were viewing it. Not sure how they found it since I did not allow people to find it on Google. I think it will save me from worrying to just have it blocked.

Blocking the Blog

I am going to block my blog. I have everyone's email address still saved, but if you think you're not on there let me know. I'll block it at the end of this weekend. I've been tracking who visits and lately I think people are getting on here that I don't know. 

Bored Stiff

We are bored. Winter is practically here. Any suggestions on how to keep my almost 3 year old happy and entertained? Movies aren't cutting it, coloring lasts a few minutes. Boo.
