HOLY MOLEY

First, I should explain my kids have been some what spoiled by growing up near or on the beach and living in apartments and not having to do much YARD WORK. We worked in the yard yesterday for a few hours raking leaves...the reason I am writing this post is because of the length of time it took us..for the reason of...."DID you know how many bugs are in the dirt", the excitement that came over my kids every time they would rake and find an insect. Jos (3 years) was so fun, I introduced her to the "Potato Bug" or "Rollie Pollie" BUT, Jos called them the "HOLY MOLEY'S"...she was screaming I want another HOLY MOLEY or HOLY MOLEY WHERE ARE YOU...it was so funny!! There where worms, lady bugs, beetle's, spiders the excitement!!! All Jos is talking about is, "when are we going to go RACK (that is how she says rake), some more HOLY MOLEY'S"......it is going to be a very exciting spring.

Gorgeous Spring Skiing

Boomer's brother, Tracy came into town for the day. So, Boomer, Tracy and his Mom enjoyed a gorgeous spring day and went skiing. It was a perfect day...

That Dang Leprechaun.......

Happy St. Patrick's day...we started out with green pancakes......


It was such a beautiful day, we went up to Grandma's house and played outside all afternoon and even got to help her plant some pea's. Jos loved planting the pea's especially when she found a worm, they were best friends from the start. She was just mad at us because when she asked, "If she could kiss the worm", and we told her no, she wondered why we don't kiss worms...GROSS!!!!The kids were in heaven. Luke is just learning to walk and loved exploring. He is not used to grass, we didn't have any in CA, he was just use to cement and the sand on the beach...so he loved picking the grass and throwing it, it was fun to watch him explore.


We walked around my Mom's gardens and found all the new little blossoms...on this little adventure Joslyn found tree bugs....another best friend.


BUT, when we got home that DANG Leprechaun had struck again...the basement was trashed. He left footprints and candy. He turned the girls beds upside down and threw all there blankets and stuffed animals everywhere....The girls where so mad, it was priceless. (Morgan would like everyone to know that she knew that he doesn't exist and she just played along for the little ones...) BUT, does he....MMMOOOWWWAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY GIRL, JOS!!

Jos turned 3....WOW!! Joslyn is such a sweet, funny little one. She loves to sing and talk. She also loves playing with her toys, she has such a fun imagination that keeps her busy for hours. I love to listen to her stories as she plays with random objects and makes a fun game out of it. She is very creative.



We are signed up on the Toys R Us birthday club. She received a coupon off any toy in the store. When you go to the store you are suppose to tell the front desk that you have a birthday girl. They were so cute, the man up front made such a big deal that it was her birthday. he gave her a crown and a birthday balloon. Then he said over the loud speaker, "Attention shoppers we have a special guest here to day, her name is Joslyn and she is going to be 3, if you see Joslyn shopping with us today make sure you say HAPPY BIRTHDAY." Joslyn's eyes got so big when she heard her name, it was so cute. There were many people that stopped us to tell her Happy Birthday, she felt very special. Then I let her go loose to pick out a toy...oh my goodness, an hour and a half hour later she made up her mind..."STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE:, it was a fun afternoon.


She wanted to make her own cake....we had a fun, very messy afternoon making the cake. It was so much fun watching her decorate it all by herself. She used Ding Dongs, Starbursts, M & M's...so yummy!!


waking up.....and opening a few presents....


Opening the rest of her presents and eating her cake....



Happy Birthday, Baby...We love you!!

The Cutest Pictures EVER!!!

I was so excited about these pictures of Luke and Jos...such sweet little angels!!!

Disney On Ice

We had such a great time going to "Disney On Ice"....the girls were in heaven. The evening started with the two little girls (Morgan is TO OLD to dress up) getting all dolled up for their big evening of Princesses. It was so cute!! We couldn't leave the house fast enough to get to the show. When we got there we found out we had a suite waiting for us...SWEEEEETTTTT!! That was sooo fun. The girls got to walk around and stretch there legs anytime they wanted...that is the way I would love to roll all the time ;o)
They anxiously waited for the show to start...so many memories. Here are pictures of the BEST evening!!!


Rylee (Belle) and Jos (Cinderella) all ready to go....


Many poses for the camera....


Waiting for the show to start.......many fun moments with cousins.


Still waiting for the show to start.....We had a fun time with Grandma's, Sis-in-laws, my sister and her daughter.


FINALLY the moments was here...the show started the screaming begin...so fun!! I don't think Joslyn moved out of her chair the entire night, she was on the edge of her seat taking everything in.....

The funniest moment of the night was Joslyn wondering "WHAT HAPPENED TO TINKERBELL". In the scene of Tinkerbell the weeds came and fought with her and took her...that really, really, REALLY upset Joslyn. After the show she ASKED EVERYONE at least 5 times, "WHAT HAPPENED TO TINKERBELL", that was a very upsetting moment. She asked a few times on the way home and then the moment she woke up the next morning I got the question, "MOM, WHAT HAPPENED TO TINKERBELL"...I have come to find out there is NO right answer!!!

Family Ski Day

We got together with Boomer's family for a family picture and ski day!! It was so fun! The day was a little cooler and snowy, but we still had a blast!!

The Moments In Life That Make You Smile

Here are some fun random pictures of Luke and one of Joslyn. Luke is teething and he has a tooth coming in on the bottom. So, his little tongue is consistently playing with it and hanging outside his mouth, it is so cute. Grandma got the funniest and perfect picture of him doing it....

Morgan's Ski Day With Grandma

Morgan had a fun, very cold and snowy day skiing. She had blast, even though the weather was not the best. Her Grandma got some great shots of the day to share. Thanks Vick!!

Ski Day

Here are some pictures of Boomer, Kirsten (sister), and Mom skiing at Snow Basin.

Rylee's Field Trip

Rylee had a field trip to the Treehouse Museum. She was SOOOOOOO excited to ride a bus for the FIRST time.


Here are some pictures of her exploring the museum. Lots of hands on FUN!!



The theme was "FAIRY TALES", she helped act out the three little pigs. She was the Mama pig, she had sooooo much fun!!

My Organized Chaos

I did a little photo shoot with the kids.....they are growing up so fast!! Morgan is 10, Rylee is 5, Jos (almost 3) and Luke is 14 months.......

Skiing at Deer Valley

We went up to Boomer's Mom's house in Park City for the weekend. It was really fun. We took the girls skiing at Deer Valley. It was the PERFECT day, the sun was shining it was 50 degree's, we couldn't have asked for a better day. When you have to start shedding off the layers, it makes for a great day. The girls had a blast skiing and did really well. Grandpa took off with Morgan and skied with her for a while and Boomer helped Rylee.
They have the resort set up so cool. There is a little hill and chair lift for only beginners, so, I could sit with the little ones while they were playing and still watch the girls ski. I loved it! There was an outside patio to eat lunch, with the sun shinning we took full advantage of eating outside. It has been awhile since we soaked up some Vitamin D...it was SOOOOO FUN!!! Here are some fun pictures of the day.




Boomer and Grandpa skiing with the girls.




Jos was so funny. She was playing in a sled and in the snow most the day. Then she picked up Rylee's poles and she HAD TO SKI..so Grandma went and got some beginner ski's and got her all set up. Jos was in heaven she was singing as loud as she could, "I AM SKIING, I AM SKIING, LA,LA,LA", she loved it. She was mad at first because she couldn't go on the lift, so she just started walking up the hill on her ski's. The ski's definitely needed a good waxing. Grandma took off with her to show her how to ski. Jos was so funny. The ski's wouldn't slide very much so Jos would start hopping a little to get going, once she moved she would throw her hands in the air with excitement, then she would fall down. It was so funny. Grandma worked with her for awhile, it was very sweet. Thank you, Linda (Grandma).





AAAHHHHH, the first pictures of Boomer with all the girls on ski's, a dream come true :o) He can't wait till they are bigger and they can all go together. Luke will be with them next year. Boomer has been skiing since he was 18 months, so Luke will be ready next winter.




Random pictures of Jos and Luke playing while the girls where skiing.



He's still got it.....awesome picture. Thanks, Mark!!


Another pic of my HOT man!!


Some fun pics that Mark (Grandpa) took....the girls were in heaven playing with their cousin Brian...they were getting hugs left and right, he is a doll!!
