Birthdays and christmas!

First of all as I have been slow at posting lately. I would like to tell my Baby Girl Happy Birthday. Preslie celebrated her 2nd birthday on the 22nd of December. She was unexpected but not unwanted. We loved her from the go and knew she was a part of us long before she ever entered this earth. Preslie is a joy she is a mom and dads girl she likes and equal share of us. She is growing so fast and has been talking in full sentences for a few months now. She loves to play babies and barbies with lainee and follow mom around all day. She is always saying mom I love you. Just for the heck of it. I love you sweet baby girl happy 2nd birhtday!!

When prslie was born. I was induced because I didn't want to go into labor on christmas eve and miss christmas. She was due january 1st but they induced me december 22nd.I had about 2 hours of labor at the most before she came into the world.

She was a beautiful baby her color was perfect.

She did get a little jaundiced and turned yellow for a few days but she was still beautiful

I think the kids all got what they wanted a wii a gun a bow dolls games for the wii clothes and lots of other stuff.They all seemed happy and pleased with santa and we had a good time. I love Christmas and am always sad when it's over and look forward to next year. Happy New Year to all of you and yours.

Lainee's day!

So the snow has come this year and the kids have been having a ball in it. Except for lainee who has no snow boots and gloves. She has a snow suit but not the boots. So every time the boys went out to play in the snow she would cry to go . So we headed to was-mart today to get her and tanner some boots.(tanner had been using mine). We bought her some cute princess ones that can also be used as shoes and some gloves and came home she suited right up and had a ball playing out in the snow all by herself.
Lainee's snow angel.

Well bell followed her around so she wasn't entirely alone.


Preslie decided to throw on tanners boots and head out while I was taking pictures. She wanted to play out there so bad but I told her she was too little. She did not like that at all!!

She loved it until she fell and the snow hit her hand and that was the end of the world. She started screaming I had to get her in.


lainee playing with bell

This is lainee's first year of dance she has done so well and loves it. Tonight was her first recital. This is backstage all dressed and ready to go.

I gave the camera to kaylie to take pics but I forgot to turn the camera to night time and so the pics need to be touched up but here is lainee on stage. She did so good she owned that stage. It being her first time I was worried that she would not do her dance. She pranced right out and knew every move and smiled the whole time she loved it . I am so proud of her. I love you sweet heart you are such a wonderful little dancer.

The Biggest loser!!

So I have been thinking about this and then I seen Josie's post on her blog about it. We all make our new years resolution and I am sure half of ours is always to loose weight. I want to loose 26 more pounds. But I am not willing to start a diet until after the holidays It would be doomed from the start. So starting January 2ND. I will be hitting the diet and the treadmill. If anyone wants to join me I say we make a pledge mine is 26 pounds. We don't have to disclose our weight just the number we want to loose and then we will weigh every Monday and post our weight loss or our progress. I think it is easier to stick to a diet if other people are there to do it with you and to get your report. I will be using the south beach diet and a treadmill. As this has been successful for me in the past you can each use your own way. Let me know if your on board and we will begin our journey to be the biggest losers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!!
Today is rons 34th birthday. We went to St.George for the weekend to finish Christmas shopping and celebrate both our birthdays. We spent two wonderful days just relaxing and doing whatever we wanted to it was nice (we missed our babies though and were glad to see them.) A big thanks to my mom who came over and stayed with the kids so we could get a brake. I really appreciate her soo much.

I want to tell my husband how much I love him. He is such great person he has the biggest heart. He would do anything to help anyone out. He is always calling me in the middle of the day just to say I love you and miss you. Which is great to know that while he's away he is thinking of me. He loves his children so much and puts so much into them. I love the way he is always spending time with his boys hunting and doing the things they love and then is so tender with his daughters. They all worship him.
I couldn't ask for a better husband I love you Ron and appreciate you. I hope you had a wonderful birthday.
We bought Ron a cake real fast since we had just gotten home.

All the kids waiting for the candles to get lit.

All posing with the cake (Chocolate Oreo!!! my choice of course if I had been really nice I would have gotten his favorite carrot cake Gross I'm puking at the thought)

Ok so i think i repeated this pic on accident sorry

Happy 34th birthday..
