2 sisters 1 heart 5K Run

This morning my sis in laws, mother in law, Brittany & I ran in the "2 sisters 1 heart" 5K run. I was impressed with how well we all did:) It was no first place, but I felt ok about my time which was 43 min. a good starting time to work towards beating for next year:) This is a pic of 2 of my sis in laws Jami & Cassi

This was after we were done running.

it was chilly when we first got there. The kids were all bundles up. Londyn had her scarf and all:)

Messy boy!

If you were wondering how you would go about eating licorice that is a year old we have the answer. You suck it! 4 EvER.............. and I mean forever. Brex had been working on his for atleast and hour at this point. What a mess, but he enjoyed it. I guess I need to clean out and organize the pantry more often so I can find these goldmines before they get stale.

She's a haircut girl in her haircut world!

Londyn was a little unsure about this haircut that mommy was going to give her, but she is a hair growin' machine. In trims over the years I have cut atleast 10-11 inches off, but she has managed to still have hair to her bottom. She has been complaining about the tangles so much latley that I decided that it was time to give her a nice good cut. So we did it, we cut 8 inches off.

I need to take an after picture, it looks so cute and it is so much easier to comb out!

Londyn's Valentines box

Londyn was so proud of her Valentines box she made at school. She downed all of her candy within just a few minutes I think. She wouldnt even put her chocolate down for this picture.

Brexen you little stinker

While I was inside helping Britt with her math homework the other day Brexen was busy pulling up all of our preety flowers that we had just put in the day before. He was so excited to have me come see, I think he figured out quickly by looking at my facial expression that he had done somthing naughty. Dont ya love how he lined them all up in a nice row. Since this photo I have now replanted them 3 times, now we will see if any of them even make it:)

Londyn and the wave

we used the wave iron on Londyn's hair for church on sunday and she looked so adorable so I had to take a few pics to share.

London's Run

Brittany and I decided to run in the annual "London's Run" that was started for an adorable little girl who passed away from cancer. We really hadnt trained because it was a last minute decission. However, we still did pretty good considering we only did the 2mile run. It was a fun thing to do together but we did decide that next year we will be better prepared for it:)

Poor little guy

What a tough little guy! Brex was out riding his motorcylce a few days ago and crashed into the block wall right on a corner. On top of what you see here, he had a lrg trickle of blood running out of this. He cryed for maybe 2 minutes but then wanted to go ride more. He kept on swipping his forhead to wipe away this enormus lump, I am sure he could see it because it was sticking out so00 far.

This was right after the 2 min mark of crying. I dont think he realized why I was taking the pic, he just put on his cute smile. If you notice, all of his recent pics he has this cheesy crooked smile, we dont know what it is all about. But Brad and I were laughing so hard the other day because as we were going through a ton of pic's they ALL were like this. Silly boy!

Kindergarten Shots

If you can tell , Londyn's entire sholder is huge and swollen, and hot to the touch. Those dang immunizations! she had her last 5 shots yesterday to get ready to go into Kindergarten. she did amazingly well, and didn't even shed a tear. I couldnt beleive it, even the nurse was super suprised that she was so tough. I did take her to get her a giant suprise for doing so well! After we got home from getting them, I noticed that her entire body had become completly covered in a bad rash and so I had to call back to the dr's to question them. I was informed it was not a suppost to be a side effect to her shots, so I had to give her some Benedryl and then keep a close eye on it to make sure it didnt spread any worse, but really it was already everywhere. It was weird because the medicine didnt help it to go away at all. I checked on her at 1 in the morning and Brad checked on her right before he left for work at 4 and it hadnt gone away. But by 7 when she got up it was all gone. Thank goodness! anyways, she is super excited that she is officially all ready to be able to start Kindergarten in July:)

my little drag queen, LOL

This is Brexen's attempt at putting on mascara and a little eyeshadow, he was conservitive and didnt want to over do it. What do you think? Well, Britt didn't think he did such a good job, only because it was her stuff that was destroyed! He really was trying to be careful, but didnt manage to leave it without lots of damage. Gosh he is a cutie:)

The Big kids play in the snow:)

Brad and I decided to go out to my parents cabin and play with the new snow shoes my Dad got for Christmas. We had such a blast! The weather was perfect, and we totally enjoyed playing in the snow.

The snow was so deep that I could touch the roofline of the cabin, crazy!

Here is Brad getting all geared up

Ohhh how cute a heart! ha ha, we were just being goofy

I know it is hard to see without an arial view. But there is this big open feild by the side of the cabin that had preety much untouched snow, so we decided to write LILES in cursive accross it. We took atleast a million baby steps to pack it down in just the right spots. We followed exactly in each others footsteps so we didnt disturb any of the other snow around it. Pretty fun! Those snow shoes give you such a great workout, we had a hard time walking when we were done because our legs were so tired:)

Playing in the Snow!

Poor little Brex played Soooo hard out in the snow and got himself completly worn out, we thought he would sleep great that night. Wrong, he ended up being sick and puking all night long. So the next morning while everyone else was just getting going, he fell asleep like this and slept for quite awhile right there. He even started talking in his sleep, which was so darn cute. I have never heard him do that before:) I pulled out my camara hoping to get it recorded but he stopped doing it, go figure. I am glad that his sickness passed quickly and nobody else got it. He just continued to be fevered for like 2 days.

Our Trip to Blanding

Cute little girlies!

Brexen and Londyn were in heaven when we got to Blanding after sitting in a car soooo long they needed a way to unwind. What better thing to do than go and beat on the drums like crazy! Brex did decide that this (Blaine's room) was his favorite room in the house this visit not only the drums but Blaine showed Brex where is stash of candy was.

Londyn decided for a minute that the noise was way to loud. But that didnt last long, I guess it was to much work to hold them on:)

I decided to give the drums a try. The head band totally gave the desired effect I think!

Brad showing us his stuff

Blaine really is great on the drums, I sat and listened to him for quite a while. Good job Blaine!

We thought it would be funny to demenstrate "The Drummer From Def Leopard Only Has One Arm".

Birthday suprises!

For my birthday this year I was told not to get out of bed until I was told too. Gosh, how do you argue with that? I could hear the kids rustling around out in our loft area for quite some time, finally at around 8:00 they told me to close my eyes and come out. They had the whole area decorated so cute! There were little cupcakes, candles and other bday pictures hung everywhere. They then led me downstairs to show me that they had straightened the whole downstairs and had me some breakfast waiting. Brittany told me that she wanted to bring it to me in bed but was worried that it would be to messy. She was right, it would have been:) I have told my kids that I used to eat toast with peanut butter and bananas on it all the time as a kid, but they get this super discusted look on there faces at the thought of it. I was suprised to see that she made just that for me.

Off to Nana & Papa's Christmas morning

It gets preety crazy when we are all over at Nana & Papa's but the kids just have a blast together.

This is Brad's grandparents GG & Gpa

O look, another time Brex didnt want his picture taken, so he just closes his eyes

Here are some of the girls waiting so patiently to tackle that huge pile of presents!

It is tradition that after we open our gifts Christmas morning at our own homes, we then head into Brad's parents house for the yummiest breakfast. We then open our gifts from them and then the family exchanges.
