A weeks worth of fun.

You know how some weeks just seem to go on and on. Within one week we had lots of fun.

We spent a morning in the hospital with Trey because he had to get a tube out of his right ear. Nothing bad, just more healing for his ear. Poor ear.

Ashie found out that she could color on her feet!

And color on her hands!

We spent a couple days up at my parents house because Quin is doing his OB/GYN rotation in West Jordan. Here are the kids and my brothers eating lunch on the stairs. Yes, they just don't enjoy the kitchen table any more!

Trey's Birthday Party

Trey had to have a Thomas birthday party. We had lots of fun and enjoyed everyone that came to celebrate this special occasion with us.

Here is a picture of the fam on Trey's birthday. I cannot believe how big he is getting!
Trey with his cake. He was so excited to have Thomas on the cake. Can you tell?
Here comes the Train around the bend!! Choo! Choo!

We are so greatful for the train driver!




Here is a video clip of the chidren riding the train, blowing whistles, and shivering. It was a cold day but worth it!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

There has been a ton of snow this year. I actually kind of got sick of scraping off my car! But the kids enjoy playing in the snow and it has gotten us out of the house.

Quin and Ashie sliding down a hill near our house. Ashie loves to go sledding.
Trey made it to the bottom of the hill without wiping out!
Watch out! Trey, Ashie, and Quin were wild.
Here are all of us. The snow has been lots of fun!!!
This was in front of our house. The snow was piled up in huge piles. Trey and Ashie had fun sliding down the hills!

CHRISTMAS!

Christmas was so much fun this year! We enjoyed being with family and having our own little Christmas to ourselves. We enjoyed watching our children's eyes with each new surprise. I think being a mother during Christmas is definitely more enjoying than being a child. I live through my children though, so I win both ways!!!

This is my whole family minus my married sister, Kirstin. I am the oldest in the family (would you have guessed!?!)
Here is Ashie cheesing it up as I took a picture of her in her new Christmas dress. Trey wouldn't stay in his suit long enough for me to take a picture.
I love the pictures of Santa with the chidren. Who could hate a guy that brings toys!?!
Trey and Quin's ginger bread house. It has BYU written on the other side of the roof (so mine isn't as cool, says Treydon).
Ashie and I's ginger bread house. Ashie is eating some of it.
Treydon's preschool Christmas program. This was the only time he actually focused on me and it was before the program started. The rest of the time he was off in his own little world!
Christmas jammies! I love christmas eve!!!

My Pet Peeve About Blogging

I have a huge BLOGGING problem that I cannot overcome and will probably never get over it, so I feel that I need to explain myself. If I feel I cannot accomplish something in the time allotted then I will not start it. So what it comes down to is this: if I feel I cannot download pictures from my camera onto my laptop and then blog them in the FIVE minutes I get alone (if that), THEN I FEEL LIKE I ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING! So this is why I haven't blogged since December. How embarrasing!!! I definitely need help, because if I cannot even take five minutes and let my friends know how my life is going then I have problems. MAJOR PROBLEMS! I AM SO SORRY, I WILL UPDATE AS MUCH AS I CAN. Here goes . . .
