Snow Days scrapbook...

So I took a million pictures of H ailey in the snow so I thought why not make a cute little book. Its kind of out of order and I am too tired to fix it so here are some pictures of it!

Artic Circle Play Date

On Fridays some of the ladies in my neighborhood meet at a play land to visit and let the kids play. This week we went to Artic Circle and I happened to have my camera. I was going to snap a few pictures but Hailey was bill a pill. You will notice her shoe in one of them because as i took the picture she put her shoe up to my face. Anyways Landon was cute and let me keep snapping pictures of him so I guess I might have to claim him now instead of Hailey...however i coudl never do that!

Obsession

So I have lots of wierd quirks about me. I mean I go in spurts with some of them but lately I have this major thing for notebooks. I have been buying them like crazy lately and I have them everywhere full of all kinds of stuff. I dunno what my deal is but I love writing, making lists, etc in them. I should take a picture of all the note books I have around but I was being too lazy to do that. Anyways I just had to share that I am a little nuts and having a notebook calms my mind! My desk is currently covered in about 9 of them! The other funny thing is I use each one for something different. Alright enjoy my wierdness. What are you passionate about right now?

Draper Temple Open House

Today we had the opportunity to attend the Draper Temple Open House. I am so grateful that Jared was able to take the morning off so that we could experience this as a family. On Monday night for Family Home Evening we talked to Hailey about how special the temple is. We told her a few things and that we had the opportunity to get to go inside a temple. We let her know that normally she wouldn't get to but this was a special opportunity. I then told her she would get to get dressed up in a pretty dress to go and see the special temple. Hailey was worried her dress wasn't pretty enough but had a smile on her face today. First you go to a church where you watch a short video about the Temple and then you are taken on a bus up to the temple to complete the walk through. As we entered the temple there was a huge feeling of peace come over us. It is such a beautiful place and Hailey was so good and reverent and respectful. She has a big smile on her face and kept talking about how pretty it was. She is excited to someday go back and do baptisms for the dead and be married the temple one day. I am glad that we took the time to take her there and I hope she will remember this for a long time. You aren't allowed to take pictures in the Temple so this was the best I got. If you want to find out more or go see the temple visit this website. Anyone is welcome to attend the open house so I highly encourage everyone try to go. Its an awesome opportunity!

Valentine's Craft...

I haven't done much crafts lately but this weekend i decided to make a quick Valentine's Day one. I am not totally in love with it but I thought I'd share it anyways. I am going to try to make the same thing but a little different!

Today it rained...

and Hailey wanted to jump in puddles. She was dissapointed there wasn't really any puddles but at least she had fun. Sorry the pics are bad my camera was messed up and the settings had been changed. I didn't notice tell we came in. Oh wells i had to post them anyways!

Boy troubles are already beginning.....

So remember my daughter Hailey who is only three. Well merely four, well today she had some major boy problems. We met my friend Ginger at Cafe Rio and Hailey was not very hapy with Easton. Look at her arms. I know the pictures not the best. She was mad he wouldn't play princessess with her and she even said he could be King Eric...So Easton pouts out the window....

and she bawls at the table....

All while baby Landon smiles away.

Man we are in for it when she is a teenager!

My last post was a joke...

I couldn't believe those ties so I wanted to have a little fuN!

I need your input...

So tonight I headed to the mall to get the free cosmetics that were on the news. As I was walking into Nordstroms I found the perfect Valentine's gift for Jared. I have never been so excited about something before but I am passionate about this gift. My only question now is which one should I go for. If I had the money I'd buy them all. Will you please give me your Opinions?





It's okay you don't need to be afraid to scroll down...........

Personally I like the middle one best but waht do you think he will like?

Christmas money put to good use with a darling girl!

On our trip home from Disneyland we stopped at the Cedar City Walmart to stretch our legs. Well none the less of course they were still having killer after Christmas sales. I still had a few dollars of my Christmas money left so I bought this chair massager for five bucks. I was so excited to get home and use it at my computer chair. Needless to say when we came home the computer chair broke and I haven't gotten to use it yet. Jared opened it up last night and apparently Hailey found it this morning! She said oh mom I'm just relaxing! She was so cute so I had to take some pictures. At least she is enjoying my cheap buy!

She is too darn cute.

PS SO this morning when Hailey woke up she told Jared, "take that yucky sugar medicine back to the store we don't want it at this house!"

She kills me!

The best part of a sick baby..

is getting to cuddle with them. Hailey is not a cuddler but when she isn't feeling the best she will often want to lay and cuddle with me. Hailey has a rotten cold and has been miserable. I feel awful for her but I am loving having her cuddle with me. Also we are taking care of our sick animals. She gave me Cupcake aka dog and she has Unicorn. They are very sick so we have to take care of them. I hope she gets better soon.

PS My friend Toni's husband is a pediatrition so I asked her what she suggested for her cough and she told me to use honey. Well I tried to give her some and now I have loads of laundry to do. And boy is it sticky! and me too! I have never seen her spit anything out like that. She did get some down but now that we got changed and some things thrown in the wash she said, "Mom I don't ever want that nasty sugar again." She must have gotten enough down though cause her cough seems a little better so thanks Toni!

Alright back to cuddling her and I hope she gets better over night. We want to do something fun with Daddy while he is off work!

Good Intentions...

So tonight I set out to yet again reorganize my craft aka junk room. Well I had the best of intentions but ended up with this instead....
That's right folks a table full of cards. At least I did something productive right! I really need to get things put back away and organized in there now! Here are a few of the cards I made.

My creative juices have been lacking lately so maybe I can get back on making or doing some cute things again!

Alright below is one of my new exciting things. I got these cool corner shelves to add to my craft room. They will be great to set some stuff up on once I figure out what. I just stuck a few things up there to show you how the shelves work. I am not sure yet what I will put up there but it will be fun to have some stuff put up and not right on the table~!

Hailey was sitting on the stairs waiting for her cousin to come play today posed like this. I tried to grab the camera fast but she wasn't too happy. She is such a goof!

Hailey and her cousin. So Happy to see each other!

Hailey was annoyed by me taking pictures so she was pretending to be asleep. Notice she is still posing with her legs crossed but her hands aren't on them!

Could she be any cuter?

Randomness....

Is it the winter blues or is blogging just not the thing anymore? I dunno what my deal is but i have been neglecting the whole blogging world lately. I really love to blog and I love to read others blogs but lately I just haven't been as into it. I hope that changes but I wonder if it is just me or if you are feeling that way too?

So I just have to give a huge shout out to all my great friends. Sometimes life can be rather challenging and sometimes you just feel too overwhelmed or like life is just too darn hard. Then I have these great friends who randomly call me or are just there to listen to me as I let my struggling and trials all unfold. I love that I can lean on them to be there to help lift me up. Oh and I can't forget those awesome times that when you are feeling down and someone stops by with a reeses peanut butter heart...I mean a lot... and diet coke or was it diet dr. pepper that day? I can't remember its been changing too much lately. But all I have to say is Thanks to all those who really show they care and are willing to go out of their way to help me.

Okay so I dunno why I am going off on this but today I got to see a friend that I haven't been able to hang out with for the past few weeks. I feel so grateful tonight to have good friends like this. WE haven't seen each other in weeks and the minute we get together is like we have spent everyday hanging out .,I love that! Friends are the best.

To all my wonderful friends out there I just have to give you a big shout out and say Thank You so much. I have been going through quite a bit lately and I am glad to have you in my life. Your the best. Thanks for all you do.

Alright sorry for all the random blabber I should stop now. Who knows if I will even leave this post up but I had to write it anyways.

Happy Winter Blues! Ha HA

It's about time...

Seriously after one week of play wii all too often I finally got my age in the fitness diagnostic test. This is seriously an accomplishment seeing the first time I did it I was 78. I can't even tell you how excited I am. Now I am working to get my age even lower. However my arm has never hurt so much and been so sore. Gotta love the good ole wii!! Yeah for my awesome age score!

Utah Gymnastics

Last night Hailey was lucky enough to be invited to go to a Utah Gymnastics meet with her cousins and Grandma and Grandpa. She was so excited. She even wanted to wear her cheerleader outfit until the last min when we were running late. From the pictures they took it looks like they had a great time. Hailey was sound a sleep and out cold when they got home.

I guess apparently at some point she got mad at Grandma and told her she should have invited her mom to go. I guess she was a little sad. She cracks me up.

thanks for letting Hailey have some fun with you guys!`
