I Fly!

We went to the Solomon Center in Ogden and tried the I-fly thing...it was a blast (much better than I thought it would be). Monday nights are Family Night, and it is BOGO 1/2 off, so $100 for the four of us (Ally was on one, so she didn't go...we gratefully used up her time for her). Brittney thought it was the coolest thing ever. Could her smile get any bigger? She had drool all over her face when she came out. LOL

New pictures!!

I just had pictures taken of the kids at Sears, and they are SOOOOO stinkin' cute if I do say so myself!! I had to post the scrapbook pages to show them off. LOL

Cedar

Ally

Brittney

Not a baby anymore....

My baby Cedar turned two!! I know everyone thinks their kids are the cutest and most adorable, but this girl is so dang cute I can't stand it....

As you can see we had a Birthday party for her this past weekend and things didn't exactly go as planned....they turned out OK in the end but here was the drama: I spent two *$#!@+! hours making this turtle cake (which first of all did not turn out as cute as I had imagined in my head) and when I was done I needed a "safe" place to put it where little fingers would not poke at it or it would otherwise get ruined...so, after some dilemma I decided that the oven would be a great place to keep such a prized creation.

All was well, I went about my day of cleaning, preparing etc and realized that I was supposed to have picked out a gift to be from my dad....I rushed off to Target and found a suitable gift, to Costco to get take & bake pizzas, came home to find that the house was not yet decorated (party is starting in 1 hour), kids hair is not done, Cedar has woken up from her nap and removed her clothes (luckily nothing worse than that), my makeup is not done (becuase of course I should have plenty of time with an hour to spare) and I still need to change my clothes etc....needless to say, I am a little frantic.

I got the house decorated, kids cleaned up and had 15 minutes left for my hair and clothes, when people start to arrive...againl, panic sets it. Now, you might be wondering where my husband is....he is outside working on a HD dish for his blessed TV, while I am running around like a mad-woman....but don't worry, I have it under control. :o)

I force Ally out into the family room to distract and entertain the first few guests, turn the oven on to preheat for pizzas and I dash off to put my make-up on...the finishing touch. That is when I realized what I had done.....I TURNED THE OVEN ON AND MY $#@!*&% CAKE IS IN THERE!!!!

I ran out to the kitchen and tore open the oven door to find a melted, very sad looking turtle. I wanted to cry. I took it out of the oven, said a few explitives and slammed the door shut. A few minutes later, when I could manage to take another look at the drooping eyes and mouth, I stood there trying to decide what to do when Matt's brother (who doesn't have the best tact in the world) came over and aked "what the hell happened to that?" I burst into tears and told him I would kill him if he opened his mouth again (maybe not that nicely). Yep....right in front of the whole family!! Not my shining moment. :o)

I went to my room and settled down for a few minutes then came back out and tried to fix it up the best I could.....my sister said it looked like it just crawled out of the swamp. LOL Oh-well....I suppose the Birthday girl didn't know the difference and she is the only one I was trying to impress.

The rest of the party went well and I was sure not to cause any more drama.

Ally's new do!

So, this is Ally's new haircut that she gave herself yesterday. She took her bangs off right down to her scalp...cute huh? LOL. She also got in 3 swipes at Cedar's and trimmed the cats while they were sleeping! Notice all the clumps of hair down the hall. When I asked her what she was thinking, she said she wanted to look like the polar bear on her necklace....I guess she was on the right track. Cedar was an innocent victim I'm sure!

The crapper is that I had scheduled to have their pictures done for their birthday's next week. Guess she will have to learn to like beanies for the rest of the winter.

Ally turned 4!

I can't believe Ally is already four! She can be such a handful sometimes, but overall she is a really good girl who just wants to entertain everyone and make them happy. There are so many things I love about Ally, but here are my top 10:

10) Her curiosity

9) Her genuine love of animals/creatures

8) Her desire to "protect" her family

7) Her desire/ability to make you laugh (even at the risk of getting into trouble)

6) Her smile

5) The sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes

4) The way she says "thingers" instead of fingers

3) The way she cries when someone else is hurt

2) Her sense of humor

1) Her love for her sisters

The moon is out tonight!

Ok, so I was going to write a post about my wonderful weekend with my kids. Matt had to work and we had no particular agenda and spent a lot of time playing on the floor, making a cake, etc etc and the two little ones were amazing angels. You know those moments when you stop to really look at all their features and you can't stop smiling about how cute, and perfect they are???

Well, that was my weekend, then Matt and Britt came home and we went to dinner at Outback, where Ally decided it was appropriate to MOON BRITTNEY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESTAURANT!! I am talking, full moon, wiggling the thing around! LOL Then, she had a total look of surprise when we had to have a discussion about not showing your butt in public. Like she had no idea that such a thing was wrong.

Crazy kid...I must have lost my mind to think she was anything but TROUBLE!

Swimming

Swimming in the Winter is a great way to get out of the stuffy house and burn off some of the kids' energy. We had a great time and I had to wake them up for dinner! Sorry for the picture of me in my swimming suit...I am far from swim-suit worrthy, but what do you do??
