What we have been up to the past few weeks...

Bubbles, balloons, and bikes are a favorite around our house these days.We have also had lots of fun using our umbrellas and eating the occasional chocolate!

Easter was lots of fun in our pretty dresses and visiting family in Salmon. We were lucky enough to participate in three Easter Egg hunts...all of them in the snow!
We have also been busy with the latest project for the house: A GARDEN! Mom is so excited and dad.....well that's all we need to say!

one, two, three, four....teeth?

Avery found these the other day and I just about died laughing. Really, my sides hurt after seeing what she did! Oh I love my kids!

Latest Project

Not that this is very exciting for anyone else, but here is what our latest addition to the house was! Shelves in the extra storage room in the garage! Now everything is off of the floor and we have a place for food storage, an extra freezer, and whatever else ends up in there! Stephen and one of his buddies did it all! Great job!

Here is the before:


Here is the after!

Catching up.....

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to in the last month or so.....

Megan and Avery love to ride this little plane at Walmart any chance they can get ( or at least when I have 50 cents in my purse)


Visiting Santa and Mrs. Claus.....Megan wanted nothing to do with them at all, and Avery made sure that Santa would bring her a ballerina outfit!
Christmas Eve with the cousins acting out the Christmas story. Avery was an angel and Megan was suppose to be baby Jesus if only she would have stayed put...


Christmas morning.....it was lots of fun. Avery loved to see what she got and to help everyone else open what they got. Megan loved the boxes and wrapping paper. They both were spoiled!


Sledding with the neighbors behind the four-wheeler. We love our neighbors and always have a good time with all of them! (I love how Avery's face is all squished in the hood of her snow suit...at least she doesn't get cold!)

The finished painted product in the living room, down the hallway, and in the kitchen! Voila!


A trip to the visitor center at Idaho Falls Temple. The girls both could not get enough of the Savior. They kept hugging Him and trying to climb on his lap. The spirit was amazing and I am so grateful to share moments like this with my family!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

Every little girl needs a wonderful dad to share her ice cream with!

Not so little anymore

Megan is just growing up too fast. She is already a year old and I don't know where the time went. Anyways we just love having her in our family and we hope she feels the same about us! We love you Megan! Happy 1st Birthday!




Isn't her face hilarious? She really didn't want anything to do with her cupcake so Stephen finally tried to put some in her mouth. Um...are we really related because sugar could be my middle name?!!!!!!

Halloween!

Okay so I know this is a week or so late, but at least I'm getting to it! We had so much fun, especially with Avery because she was so excited to go door to door and pick out a treat! I bet next year will be even more fun with both girls just loving it!
Anyway it was cute to see the reaction of some people when a duck and a skunk showed up at their door! Now if only I could have convinced Stephen to dress up as the farmer!
