Christmas Time

Christmas is a fun time with children. The anticipation is so huge in a childs mind. Ashleigh has been counting down the days until Santa comes and Spencer has been teasing her every second of the day.

I pretty much convinced Ashleigh that I had given her Backyardigans and Dora the Explorer DVD sets. (Both of which she didn't want). But what else can you say when your children beg you to tell them what you got them. :)

Spencer has been very understanding about my financial situation and told me that he didn't need anything. How great for a 14 year old to say. So, I compromised and got him Halo 3 and a plastic ramp for his skateboarding. He was very happy.

I love my kids they are my greatest gift and am so grateful that after a very crazy and tumultuous year I still have them to look at and love and care for.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas morning.

Christmas Eve

Since I am a dork and didn't take any pictures of our Christmas Eve Chinese Feast I will use and abuse my sister Karla who always remembers to take pictures. Take a look at her blog here. Don't miss an awesome picture of Spencer looking like he likes to have his picture taken. It is a MIRACLE. :)

It is amazing to me what kids can do these days. Ashleigh my 10 year old daughter posted this comment all by herself. She is simply amazing and will go far in what ever she does. She has been able to surf the internet for years and has set herself up with emails and everything.

These are a few of my favorite things...TAG!!!!!

So, I have set this up as a tag. And I tag Karla (since it was your idea you are first), Kristina, Amy, Char and Jenni. Show us your favorite things.

Nothing is better than a good flat iron. And these are the best.


My life would be much duller with out Google. Google is a Godsend...and the internet.


Light Blue by Dolce and Gabana is the best smell ever...


Clean and Clear Morning Burst is the perfect face cleaner I have ever used.


Nars Blush is pricey but it is the best color I have found. The color is racey but I love it!!! The color is Orgasm...by the way.

Why I love Arizona

Today is pouring and I love it. Even though I had to go outside I loved it. If I were in Utah today, there'd be LOT's of snow and coldness. But here it is the last day of November and it is in the 60's with rain. I found this picture of Arizona today. Isn't it awesome!!! WOW!!!!

Here are a few of pictures of Spencer. I had to get these up on the internet because these pictures are very RARE!!!!! :) What a handsome boy I have!!

Spencer's Birthday

After 7 hours of skating with Adam I just had to get some sort of Birthday video and if I couldn't do it the conventional way I had to get it this way. My birthday boy is getting so big. And he is getting so good at skateboarding!So proud of my little boy! Or should I say BIG boy.

Happy Thanksgiving

Asleep at the Wheel

I couldn't help but take a picture of Ashleigh when I found her looking like this. Notice the remote is even facing the wrong way. You will notice koolaid stained lips as well.

Halloween Party

Today is our apartment complexes Halloween Party. Ashleigh was asked by her neighborhood friends if she could go, so I let her go. Luckily, we had a Dorothy outfit from last year that still fit her and no one is any the wiser...except our family.


Take my picture already...


See Toto...


So Adorable!

CHALLENGE!!!!!

I want you to document a day in the life on your own blogs of course. Try to be as creative as possible and we will have a judging and everything. What does everyone think about that?

So, I was looking around the internet and came across this. What do you think? Do you think it is appropriate?

Blogging with No Pictures

Since it has been over a month since my last post and I don't have any pictures (my cameras dead). So I decided that I'd write something instead. There isn't anything wrong with that. (That was my attempt to convince myself).

My kids are in school and are making friends left and right. There are girls calling up Spencer non-stop. What a charmer.

Funniest thing happened the other day. Ashleigh has had a crush on a boy from her class named Austin. Well, for some reason he ended up at our house last Saturday with Spencer. So, Ashleigh was in her room cleaning it up when they showed up. When she came out and saw Austin she immediately went back into her room and put on jewelry, changed her clothes, and did her hair. Does it happen this early. She will be 10 next week, but honestly I don't remember if I was like that when I was that age...Oh, Who am I kidding I have always been boy crazy. :)

Ashleigh Always Posing

Ashleigh is so cute. Every once in a while I will come across pictures of Ashleigh posing. I don't know who took these of her, but aren't they so cute.

Omama and Me in Brazil

This was our last day in Brazil. I didn't want to let Omama go. Man, I miss her already. I want to go back so that I can see her again.

Spencer and Adam

Spencer and Adam were looking at some skateboarding websites and I had to take a picture. How cute.

Kylee's Graduation Gift

I found my camera today. So, I am going to start posting pictures. Like these of Kylee after graduation. This was her graduation gift $300 in $1.00's. How fun. There was a trail from the front door to her room.
