Nine People In February

This is a picture and a day to remember. We are down on the court after the BYU Women’s basketball team became MWC Conference Champs!!! It was a great game in which they were down by 19 points to come back and win. It was also a great game because my Mom was in town to watch Marie play her last home game. They honored the seniors this night too.  Lots of pictures of that to come! Great game! Great day! Great picture! Great memory!

Tori’s Animal Faces

Tori loves to make animal noises!! It is the best distraction when she is melting down. I love it! I just ask her what sound a certain animal makes and she is off and running!!

Another favorite thing of hers to do is make animal faces! I love her fishy face!

Her monkey face is hilarious!

And here is her tiger face.

Another favorite of mine is thumbs up. She just recently picked it up!

Tiger Tails

Last night for fun we made tiger tails. Adam sent me this link. Marshmallow, caramel, and chocolate, who can say no to that?!

First we unwrapped the caramels.

Zoe colored the sugar orange.

We put three marshmallows on a skewer that had the pointy part cut off.

Then we rolled them in melted caramel! The kids loved this part!!

Next we rolled them in the orange sugar.

Let them cool a little and then put the chocolate strips on!

Let the chocolate harden and you are ready to eat!!!!

These were delicious and so much fun!! Warning: they are very rich and most of the kids couldn’t finish one!!!

Too much time!!

These are the crazy things that happen around our house a day off!!

Zoe is behind the camera egging him on!! Love my goof balls!

Sorry Denise! I will wash the bucket, I promise!!

Blankets

Kalixta and Britain got fleece blankets for their birthdays. The kind you tie by yourself. They love them and were so excited to make them. Life being what it is, it took me until yesterday to get to them. The kids didn’t have school so we sat down and cut and tied them.

They had a hard time cutting and it was a lot of tying. But they love their blankets and drag them all over the house!

Go Nuggets!

Ammon’s team is called the Nuggets and they are doing well. He is really having a great time playing and learning a lot!

The best thing happened Saturday at his game when he made a basket!!! He was so excited and turned and looked at me first thing!! The ball was loose on the floor, he picked it up and shot it. Through the hoop it went!! It has been a great season!!

Details!

Thanks for all the sweet comments and emails. We are super excited to be welcoming another little babe into our home. We used this shirt to announce to the kids we were expecting. Zoe couldn’t believe it! Nik is super duper excited! Ammon says he will be excited only when it comes out a boy!! Britian and Kalixta want a boy but think that the baby will be a girl. And my sweet Airana says, “this is going to be the cutest baby EVER!” She also thinks the baby will be a boy…or a girl!

So I am due on June 13th which makes me 23 weeks. And pretty big! I am feeling pretty good, just tired all the time!! I am excited to be pregnant with my sister in law!! Our babies will be just 2 months apart!! My sister Marci’s baby will turn 1 in Aug so there will be three cousins all around a year!!

Ahem,

Tori has an announcement!!!

Crazy Jammies

I just had to post another picture of Tori dressing herself. Yesterday she put her jammies on all by herself!

Here are the funnies to notice. She is wearing Ari’s pajamas. They are on backwards. They are both tops, which means that she has one leg through an arm hole and the neck hole is around her waist!

Silly silly girl!

Happy Valentine’s Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful day! We had fun at our house eating heart shaped pizza! And watching Despicable Me! So cute!!!
