President Gordon B Hinckley

Yesterday (1-27-08)we lost our beloved Prophet. He was 97 years old and was an amazing man. He was so kind and giving and was known world wide. We will miss him greatly and I know that he is in a better place with his Wife and many other great people. "TiLL We MeEt AgAin"

"Oh How Sweet"

I couldn't pass this moment up...they both some how always make it into our bed and they love to snuggle in next to each other so I thought I'd get it on camera. They both looked so peaceful and comfy!

PoTTy TimE

Ok so I know one day she will kill me but I just had to do it. I snapped the first potty photos... So I have been trying to get Bella potty trained and it is well over due. But I couldn't get her to sit in the bathroom so I said well fine lets go in the living room. So to say the least after 2 cans of Sierra Mist and candy she sat through 1 1/2 movies with no luck and then she got up walked over to the wood floor and went there! What can you do? Try Try again:)I guess..

My little artist

Bella really LOVES to draw. She has these drawing boards all over the place. We have them in the car at home, grandmas etc. It's one of her favorite things to do. She draws all sorts of stuff but I was finally able to get one of her cute pictures on camera. I was really impressed. So here it is!

Bella & Baylie Playing the Wii

John and I got a Wii for Christmas and our Birthday's and we have really had a blast playing it. So on Friday we had some friends over to hang out and play it and Bella really gets into it when the guys are playing so she decided she needed to play so her and Baylie went against each other. It was so funny!

Bella, Parker and Jade!

Over Christmas week we got to spend a lot of time with Johns family. Bella loved being around and playing with Jade. She is a cute baby. So it was a lot of fun.

Santa's Visit on Christmas Eve!

We were so lucky to have a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve. He brought presents for the kids and they got to take pictures with him. Parker and Cole had a lot of fun and went right to him but Bella wasn't having it. She lost it. So she just got a picture off to the side with her crying. It was sad but pretty funny also.

Christmas at home

Ok so it has been awhile since I last blogged and I haven't put up all of our Christmas pictures so here are the ones that we took at home when we opened gifts as a family. It was a really nice relaxing time and the kids had a blast. They loved their gifts and they are still enjoying them.

Go Wild!!

We are really lucky because John's step mom gets tickets to every sporting event in MN and they invite us to some of the games and we along with the kids have a GREAT TIME.. Thanks Myrna. So here are a few pics of us at the game, Bella being a cheerleader, and her eating ice cream! They won that night and it was a Great Game. We also got to spend time with some of John's siblings, here is a picture of John's Brother Mike and our soon to be sister in law Sarah!!
