Things..

Things have been going on here in Tallahassee. David just finished  a semester at F.S.U.  I'm very proud of him! I cant wait until Fall comes and he graduates. It's still up in the air if we will stay in Tallahassee or move on, but what ever happens I'm sure it will great. Laurel just got her report card from Kate Sullivan and she is back on top. We are so happy with this school. I'm excited she will be able to finish 5th grade there. As far as Addie well she is just as happy go lucky as always. :) Whats most funny these days is that she hates bugs...ALL BUGS. If a butterfly comes near her she will start screaming. Its funny. She also does not like to get dirty :( So she has been no help in our garden!  I myself have been busy doing cakes and a little scrap booking. I have my first cake this weekend I am scared off. It's a 1967 mustang I hope all goes well....

Ok..so it's been awhile?

Well, It's been some time sense my last post. I had a chat with my sis-in-law Molly and she told me that I should blog  again. I told her no one reads my blog, but she then said she did! I was amazed....So here we are.  I have decided just to post  photos today. :) And tomorrow I will start my blogging again!!! No tears of joy Molly...hold them back. 

Had to get ready for the new pool!

Dad took the girls shopping for swim wear yesterday. A major success for Laurels we where able to find a short and t-shirt combo like she has been wanting for some time, and it does not show her belly. woohoo! Addison's is way cute too butterfly and ruffles. So FLORIDA here we come!!! (back)

Easter 2009

Well there is not much to say. It was Easter the kids loved their baskets and we colored eggs. Amy stayed over Saturday night and went to church with us. We made a wonderful Lunch, and had a Easter egg hunt in the house. The girls had beautiful matching dress that their Lollie and Papa Bruce bought them.

Utha Horse Expo 2009

On Saturday we decided to go as a family to the horse expo. We knew Laurel would love it and thought Addison would as well. We had a great time we saw Tenn. walking horses ,people pimpin there stallions at the starting rate of 500.00- 1000.00, and horse training. We looked at all types of horses, and very nice trailers, and some awesome western wear!! I tell you what Dave looked sooooo good in those boots and tight fittin jeans. BUT, the highlight of this outing was Laurel winning a jumping horse race, barrel race, and a couple other I cant remember. We took lot pics of her ribbons and a couple of video check them out.

Laurels Feild Trip

I went with Laurel last week on her field trip. It was a lot of fun, and I did not lose any of the 8 kids I had to watch. woohoo

Addie and Me playing out side

Picnic and Play what a Day!

Today we went to one of the parks near our home to look for rocks and twigs for Laurels school project. We found just what we needed. After we found all that we needed for the project we had a picnic lunch with the girls, played by the Provo River's edge and had fun with a frisbeee and a ball.

Draper Temple

Dave and I let Laurel skip school this past Friday so she could go with us to see the Draper Temple open house. We had a great time showing her the rooms and teaching her about it.

My Grandma's Choc. and biscuits

I made the family chocolate and Biscuits Sunday morning...They loved it!

pain in my neck

Well I think this photo say everything....... And YES my neck was stuck like that I am not looking to the side....I can't move it.

Montaie Vole

Tonight on the way to Laurels teacher conference Dave and I found a Vole. So...we had to trap it so Laurel could see it being the animal lover that she is. With success we did it! Laurel was way excited, so yes we are super cool parents for the next 30 min or so. :)

She wants to potty all the time...potty all the time.

Ya baby...nothing like a Elmo Potty. Thank to here Lollie and Papa Bruce. She wants to potty all the time...potty all the time...potty all the time. Do you hear Eddie Murphy?

What does your daughter say before she goes to bed?

HER PIG!
So, the other night Laurel did not want me to close her bedroom door all the way. She went on and on about how she was worried that we forget to lock the door at night. I tried to explain that we ALWAYS lock the door at night. I mean, anyone that knows me knows I am the biggest scared-y cat ever!!! So, as she was begging me not to shut the door, she told me (and I quote) "It's not like my Guinea Pig can jump out of her cage and fight like a ninja!" I could not help but run and tell Dave so we could both laugh, and now today I find myself surfing Google images for ninja guinea pigs!!! So here is what I found:

Key Lime pie!

Some of you may not know but Papa Bingham mails Laurel a post card quite often. She loves it because she feels special, and I love it because lately Mike has been sending them with receipts.
Lucky for me Laurel saves them all so I can put them in her scrapbook. Yesterday I was wanting to bake something so as luck would have it Laurel had her post card with key lime pie receipt still. woohoo! I made two that's how much I love key Lime pie! So check our pic...we think it turned out pretty well.

Family Snow Sledding!!!

Mush Laurel Mush!!! No just kidding. Well, today after the whole family slept in until 11 am, we went sledding. We went to Rock Canyon Park...it's shaped like a big bowl and covered with snow. It was tough climbing up but once we were there, it was easy. Dave had to go first(because Laurel was scared). After he went down by himself and then once with Laurel, she was ready. I knew she would be. It was thrilling, like roller coasters. Addison even went twice (no, not by herself!!!) and loved it. We also had a visit from a real Siberian Husky!!

Christmas Day!! WooHoo

Well, we would like to say thanks to all our awesome parents. You all made this Christmas awesome. It took us two hours to get threw opening all our presents..WOW! I tried hard to keep up some of our families traditions and our new ones. I cooked candies for days and we delivered them to all the neighbors and we even sung a Christmas carol.On the eve of Christmas we read to story of Christ birth with the girls and tracked Santa on the computer, wrote our letter, Dave and laurel baked cookies together for Santa. On Christmas we had munches and little smokes until I had our dinner made. So basically we munched and played all day. We love you all and missed you all very much. Merry Christmas.
