screaming teens...

Girls' nights are the best. Especially when a little New Moon is involved.
We braved the crowds again and went on opening night with all of the screaming teens. This pic was at dinner right before. It was a fun night!
And I would have to add, that I liked New Moon better than Twilight. I can't wait for Eclipse in June!

every hour...

This is how I feel today. Have you ever woke up every hour on the hour...for example, last night I woke up at 12:30, 1:35, 2:30, 3:24, and then 4:40 I was up for good. Why is that? It is so annoying!

9 years and counting...

I went through our digital pictures on our computer, and realized I don't have hardly any pictures of Mark and I together. It is funny how kids take a priority when they come.
But I decided that a big part of why I love Mark is the great dad he is. So I thought this anniversary I would put pics of Mark and our kids.
Thank you for putting up with a grumpy pregnant wife lately, and for making me feel beautiful even though I know that I have seen better days. I love you more every day!

Thanks Aunt Angie!

Addison took ballet/creative dance lessons from her Aunt Angie. The girls were so cute. Addison was a little stubborn and shy, but she had a good time. The flash went off and I was standing in front of a glass window, but I still thought this picture was cute.

This is all the girls at the recital in their hip-hop gear. It doesn't get much cuter than this!

This is Addison's younger group. Addison is in the black hat and her little cousin is on her right.

This was all the girls in their ballet clothes being introduced. That is Bailey's hair at the bottom of the picture. Mark was out of town, so I was trying to fight kids and video and take pictures at the same time. GOOD TIMES!!!

This is our cute girl. She loved that black hip-hop hat. So much fun!

This is how much she would do in practice....

This is all she would do at the recital...

It is a good thing she is so cute! I think she gets her stubbornness from Mark, and her shyness from me. (:

I've been playing...

I was wanting some cute new things for this new baby girl. I looked on etsy and found the cutest stuff, but I wasn't willing to pay for it. So I looked up some free patterns on line...I thought they turned out pretty cute.

The Luckiest!!!

I have the best husband ever! I asked him to help me shampoo our carpets last Saturday. And not only did he do a much better job than I ever would have taken the time to do, (and let's face it, we all know I am a little OCD) but he tackled the stairs w/o me even asking. I love this man! He definitely knows the way to my heart!!!

perfect night

This year was a lot of fun! All the kids were really excited about dressing up, and getting LOTS of candy. We went to the ward trunk-or-treat (which was awesome this year, they even had a little mini carnival set up too), and then we went out trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and with cousins in their neighborhood. I think their buckets weighed more than they did by the time we were done.
The weather was perfect too. It makes such a huge difference when you aren't sweating as you are walking from door to door. It was a fun couple of nights!
