Hey all- I uploaded my pictures to my computer finally so I suppose I have stories to tell again. Haven't really wanted to share anything lately but I am back I suppose.
The picture on the left is Nutmeg and her one kitten she had about a month ago. The other kitties are Jerry and Vicki's bunch. They are nephews and nieces to our kitten. They got to spend the weekend with us when the Nelson's came down to our house for General Conference. The kids had a blast playing with them. We had a great time with the Nelson's eating, sleeping, playing games and enjoying the company.



This is a funny picture I took of Ronnie. We had just talked about how the kids liked to play midgey mode and pull themselves into their shirt. I went to make a phone call and Grandma went to give Tess a piano lesson. I looked up about 5 minutes later and Ronnie was fast asleep on the chair. This was at 3:45PM. About two minutes later, he lost balance and toppled onto the floor. I raced over and picked him up. He didn't even cry. I asked him if he wanted to go sleep on the couch or his bed and he vanished. He went to his bed and didn't wake up until morning!



I wanted to post a recent pictures of the boys. They are getting so big and talking so much. They are little rascals getting into everything and making 3 times the mess. It is so cute to watch them. They feed off
each other in a way none of my other kids did. Yummiliciousness! Beware when they are both sick though. . .


We had a family recital last weekend. It was fun to be with more family. Everyone did a great job. Grandma sure is working hard with all the grand kids. I wanted to post Michaela's and Trey's performance.



I took this last picture today. I was hoping Spring was here but we still are getting snow. I am grateful for the moisture, but i am sure ready for warm weather!Here ends my post hoping its not the last for another few months. . .

Lil' moments

I was making dinner last night and hadn't seen Alex for a bit. Danny was happily eating his chimichanga and corn. Still no Alex. It was time to look for him. I walked out of the kitchen and heard him in the bathroom crying. He'd shut the door and couldn't get out. The boys love to shut doors, so this was not an uncommon occurrence. The next moment was, though. I opened the door to the bathroom and banged right into an open drawer. The door would only open about an inch. Hmm, what to do. I ask Alex to shut the drawer but I was worried this phrase was not quite something he understood yet. He tried to shut the door to the bathroom. I was starting to get a bit panicky. I wanted to bash the door down. Could I get the window open? How would I get Alexander out? I was contemplating call the fire department for a few moments. All this time Tessa was trying to sweet talk Alex into shutting the drawer. He tried a few times but it must have been jammed a bit. I went and got a untensil from the kitchen and tried to slide the drawer shut with it through the crack in the door. Finally Alex got up enough gumption and shut the drawer himself. I opened the door and gave that sweet little boy a whole bunch of kisses!!! Sigh. . .

Christmas at the Nelson's

We had a very nice Christmas Holiday. We went to the Spanish Fork Christmas Light display with the family. It was fabulous. Afterwards we had treats and played cards.

Christmas Day the kids finally were able to drag mom and dad out of bed at 8:15AM. It was most fun to see the excitement in the kids as they opened presents.

Here are the stockings I made a few years ago. I even made one extra, but now that the twins are here, I need two more. . .

I took this picture of the puppies tonight. They are growing soo fast. We found out today that their father is 100% Alaskan Malmute. Whew! We are planning on keeping one. Choices, choices!

This is the view out back. It just keeps snowing! Beautiful, but lots to shovel.
