Happy B-day Syd!!

Sydney turned 8 on Christmas Eve and will be baptized soon!! She is a silly girl, that likes to have fun!! She is sure growing up quickly, we love you Syd!!

My baby is growing up!!!

Not the best picture, but she got her hair curled for the 1st time for church yesterday!! I got a glimpse that she is growing way too fast, Slow down Ivy!!

Sledding minus the snow

Well before we could put the sleds away the kids were sledding around and around the house, having a great old time, who needs snow?

We took the kids to the snow the day after Christmas! It was 15 degrees, wow was it cold. We don't have great snow attire, just regular coats, descent gloves, hiking boots and regular pants. We have discovered a trick to help with keeping the snow out of the shoes and pants, a little white trash, but it works great. Rich duct tapes the kids pants to their shoes, and voila!! We had a great time and lasted almost an hour and then we were off to our favorite pizza place in Payson, The Pizza Factory, yum!

Ivy and her new obsession

Ivy has a new fav......dolls! Who would have thought at 11 months old to buy her a doll, well good thing her b-day is less than a month away! She will not let go of her sister's dolls that they got for Christmas, or she will let you know she is not happy! I could not make her let go of the doll to feed her the other morning, so we put the bib over the doll, which is as big as she is and fed her that way, whatever!!

It's official!!

Well we went to the Dr. today and we have determined a due date. I am 3 weeks farther along than we originally thought. It puts me at 11 weeks and 2 days.......this is going to be the worlds fastest pregnancy! So the official due date is July 9th. We got an ultrasound and got to hear the heartbeat, too. What an unexpected blessing!
