YAY!!! Our 10th Anniversary

Beautiful pic, but check out the ugly weeds....

Don't we look so young...Ok you are right, I still look the same!!!

This was the best day of my life!!!! Thanks D

Yay,
We made it to our 10th anniversary....with eternity to go!! I can't believe that we have been married for ten years!! Time has just gone by so fast!! Our wedding day was really the awesomest day of my life!! We had so much fun and I felt just like a princess!! Daryl is the best man in the world to me, and I love him so super much. He is a great husband and a great father to my sweet little kids.
Since D just had knee surgery and I have a cold with an ear infection (I have not had an ear infection for ever!!!) We didn't exactly get to celebrate in style... Bre and Brandon are up in Bear Lake with grandma and grandpa, but we still have Lex and Ells so we decided to put the kids to bed early and get chinese food and have a "candle light dinner" at our own table. It was very fun!! Then we watched a movie together!! OK....now is the time that I feel like an old married couple because I kept saying Dar, can you turn it up I can't hear it. Then a few minutes later Daryl would say, Oh man, I can't really see my eyes are blury, as he sits there with his leg propped up on the couch, and I sit there with a blanket on the couch. I really felt like old people complaing to each other....It was so hilarious I totally started laughing!!
So this was our wonderful ten year...I know you are all super jealous!!!! Lets hope next year is well lets just say a little bit more exciting for us!!

WICKED....

So I really really really wanted to go to the Broadway play "WICKED" . My sister-in-law Brenda and I tried for about 2 hours to buy tickets on line. Bryan even tried a few times. I also tried calling the stinkin phone number to buy tickets. NO LUCK!! This is a picture of me (ok I guess I am not in it, but I am taking the pic) sitting at the computer trying to get through...I had everything all ready to go if I were to get through...my celly and my phone so Brenda and I could call each other...my credit card(and no I won't show that, we have already had our number stolen once.) and about 5 tabs open and trying to load the page. So after trying forever I gave up trying the computer. I finally decided I would call one more time and wow, it started to ring....I was so excited....It rang for about ten minutes....then someone answered and said that they had sold out of tickets one hour before.
What a bummer.

So for any of you out there who are lucky enough to have tickets, you stink!!!! And let me know if you want to share....especially after I just said that you stink!! :) :)

Girly hairdo's

I love to do my girls hair. It is so fun. When they feel like holding still. I love all of the little flowers and clippys that I can add also!! If only it would look like this all day...

Oh Christmas tree

Each year we go up one of the canyons in Bear Lake to cut down our Christmas tree. It is always so much fun, and something our kids will always remember... This year wasn't too cold and made it perfect for Christmas tree hunting.
The only mishap we had was when Breanna tripped on a tree root and fell on her knees ruining her cutest pair of jeans (that should have only been worn at school, but oh well I guess...) Her knee was a bloody mess but she tried to be tough.
The cousins always have so much fun together!!!
I had all of the kids pose in front of the tree before church on Sunday.

TWILIGHT

Ok, so I finally went to see Twilight last night!! I went with about 10 girls from my ward!!! I thought I was totally living on the "WILD" side, because we went to the 9:15 PM showing. It was so much fun. I absolutely loved the movie. I wasn't sure about Edward in the beginning, but then by the end I thought he did a great job. And since I am a major Edward (not Jacob) fan that was very important. Besides a few immodest dresses and two words I didn't appreciate, it was a good show!! I can't wait until the next one!! :)

CHARLIE.....

My nephews Tyler and Justin found this funny clip on youtube, it is so funny. The little boy is stinkin cute with his little British accent.

I guess you will just have to copy and paste this website....I can't figure out how to put it in a post... :) :)

Beautiful baby girl

I just got Ellees 6 month picture taken. She was so cute and so smiley. This is the dress that I made for Breanna 8 years ago. I have all three of my girls pics taken in this dress when they were 5-6 months old. I did have to replace the pink ribbon for Ellee though, it was getting a little worn out. She is such a fun and happy little girly girl!! We love her. And it sure helps that she sleeps very well and loves her binki.

ALEXA is a ballerina

Alexa is taking a dance class!! She is so cute and so funny. Her cute little friend Brynlie is in her class. My friend Jen (and Brynlie's mom) is the dance teacher. She told me that last dance class while she was trying to teach, Lexi said, "Jen, Jen, Hey Jen, guess what?? My mom painted my finger nails yesterday!!" She said that as she held up her hands to show everyone. What a silly little girl!!! I love her cute little personality. She is so funny. And makes me laugh everyday with her drama. Love you Lex!!
Alexa was showing me her dance moves...
Another dance move:):)
Lex and Brynlie chatting while I was trying to get a picture.

HOW COME YOU ARE SO CUTE???

We just borrowed this little Bumbo chair from Darcy and Ellee loves it. She looks so cute just sitting there. Over a few days I took pictures of her:):) She is a happy and sweet little baby!!! I LOVE her and her cute little smile!!

LEEEEXXXXXIIIIIII

Well it finally happened!! My little lexi cut her hair. The little stinker was sitting at the counter cutting, which she usually does. She came over to sit by me and I took one look at her and knew something was different. Then I went over to the counter and saw her little golden locks of hair lying on the ground. I was so sad. It looks hilarious but it could be so much worse, yes, I am trying to be positive. Luckily it will grow back!! So she is going to have poky bangs for a while. oh well!

Cute pics of Brynlee

Here are some pictures of my new little niece Brynlee. She is almost 2 weeks old. She is so tiny and so beautiful. We decided to take her picture laying by what I thought was my little Ellee. Hello Ellee looks HUGE!!!! I was laughing so hard. We are so excited to finally have Brynlee here. Someday these two will be good friends. Ellee and Brynlee

FLOWERS AND CHICKEN:)

The girls and I made a bunch of pretty hair flower clips. Breanna had so much fun choosing colors and mixing and matching and gluing. Little Lexi tries so hard to be involved but mostly she could just watch. Then we put them all in our hair, it was lots of fun! :) I have to admit I would love to wear the pretty flowers but I probably won't. Maybe we will have to go to Hawaii so I can wear them and feel comforatable!! :):)

I also bottled 20 bottles of chicken. I never in a million years thought I would ever do that, but it was so easy. It did take a lot of time, but now I have lots of already cooked chicken and it will last for a couple of years if it needs to. Thanks so much Brenda for letting me use your pressure cooker and helping me!!! The picture of it looks pretty nasty but it tastes so yummy!!!

The girls and I with our pretty flowers!!

Pretty smiles
Lots of work, but worth it!!

BRANDON LOVES BASKETBALL!!!!

Brandon has started playing basketball!! He was so excited. He would ask me everyday if it was time to play!! This is the first time he has played and I think it was a little different than what he expected and yet it was so fun to watch him. He will catch on and be awesome!! Of course I am his mother so of course I think he is sawesome. It is so fun that he gets to be on Zac's team!! Brandon thinks he is the coolest kid ever!!

Hole in ceiling........

So Daryl was up in the attic trying to put in an antenna and all of a sudden as I was walking down the hallway I hear a weird sound then tons of white fluffy insulation floating down from our ceiling above our stairs. Daryls leg went right through our ceiling...such a blessing that he didn't fall al the way through. Anyways, we still have a huge hole in our ceiling. Just another fun project for D to finish. yippeeee. It wasn't too funny the night it happened, but we are just trying to laugh about it instead of cry!!!
The kids actually had fun cleaning up the mess. There was three garbage sacks full of insulation!!!

This is the lovely hole....another blessing that he didn't hit the light!!

That night daryl propped the ladder against the wall to try to fix it a little bit...I was not to happy about this.

HALLOWEEN

Yeahhhh, its Halloween!!!! There are quite a few pics, but I guess that is how it is when you have four kids.
Ellee was a purple fairy, Lexey was Cinderella, Brandon was a Jedi Knight, and Bre was who do ya think...HAnnah Montana.
We had a super fun day. I went into Breannas class party then the kids did a little parade through the halls, so cute. Then we went to the mall for a bit to trick or treat. We then had our traditional (thanks to mom:)) chilli and bread and donut dinner....yummy..then it was time to trick or treat..

Ok I thought trick-or-treating in the "country" was going to be LAME. However I quickly learned that our lovely neighbors buy full size candy bars and if they just bought the little candies then they gave them about 5 or 6 pieces. So it actaully was super fun for the kids and they got way better candy and even more candy than I ever got growing up in "The City".Ellee....purple fairy
Brandon...Jedi Master He was protecting our house in this picture.
Hannah Montana sing me a song girly girl!!
And Beautiful Cinderella

Watch out Brandon Jedi Master, there are two Darth Vaders!!!! What??? It looks like they are friends??





We had a Halloween party at our house...these are the boys!!
And these are the girls.
