When will he get here?????

It's not so bad when I am the only one saying that but it has become almost unbearable when I have a chorus of 5 others asking me every day. So for now I just sit and twiddle my thumbs. I should be cleaning the loft, deep cleaning my bedroom and doing what feels like mountains of laundry. Oh well...the 18th or the 25th will get here eventually...
Just for the record here were every ones guesses:
Dad 13th
Mom 12th
Andrew 29 leap day
Lilly 14th
Abigail ?
Foster 15th
Pearl 1st

Kids Fall Asleep (episode ??)

Yet another installment in the kids fall asleep series. Cry cry cry lay down cry wimper sleep.

Vail Pride Day 2012

We had lots of fun at Vail Pride Day. The School District's fun bus was there. The kids had their art projects there. The Sheriff's office was there with the swat truck and a motorcycle. Andrew got the gun holes open on the swat truck. My favorite part was watching Foster try to be the first one through the fun bus. He was scared though. We have a video if it works. The school choirs and orchestras performed also.

Way on time

So we r all in the car and ready for church. Turned on the car to see the radio. We saw 845 and thought at first that the battery on the car had an issue. AT&T confirmed that it was actually 845. That is focus to get ready for church.

New stroller

We got a Cadillac. I mean a new stroller. It is wonderful. Swivel wheels. Smooth riding. Folds up nice. Big wheels that are air wheels. The wheels can lock straight or lock to allow just a little swivel. Very nice. It is called the Valco trimode twin.

Math Bowl

Lilly is on the math bowl team for Mesquite Elementary.

Valentine' Morning 2012

We decorated the table again this year. Not quite up to standard. It is always a ton of fun though. Balloons. Pink milk. Candy. Mmmmm.

Valentines Day

It snowed today! What a freak storm it was!? I hosted salad lunch and Andrew was the trooper and grilled pizza on the grill for us. It was delicious, although I didn't take pictures. Tonight we had some yummy bacon wrapped filets and all the fixins. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Sick Pearl

Since Saturday night thur today she has had a bad cold and fever. All she hash wanted to do was sit on my lap. I think it is just her way of preparing me for what it will be like with another baby in the house.

One Cool Dude

Foster found his sunglasses and we caught him riding his bike in the cul-de-sac. He has style.

More Progress on the kitchen

Although the progress is slow. The results are sure worth it! Here is Ryan and Andrew putting up some more bead board.

Good bye piano

I had to document this piano's life. We got it free off someone's porch and had it tuned. It only worked as a piano for a couple of days and then it turned into a room divider. It got pushed into the garage when we sold our last house. We moved it to our new house and it became the desk that held the Wii and DVD player under the TV for a while. Then it got put back into the garage again. Finally last Saturday after a pregnant lady fit it finally got pulled out of the garage and someone took it! All I can say is hallelujah!!!!

Book report for 3rd grade

Here is her report on Amelia Earhart. She did it in a news paper format.

Conner's Quilt

I made a quilt for my newest nephew Conner from some luxury suit swatches my dad gave me. I think it turned out really well for my second official quilt.

Who needs toys when you have a box.

I still am amazed that boxes are so fun to play with. One of theses Christmas I am just going to give boxes.

They're so cute when they're asleep.

I can't resist taking these pictures.

Abigail's sleepover/Birthday

So Abigail turned 9 this year and that means that she gets a friend birthday party. She chose to have Tara and Natalie Nichols come over and go to the movies. We had a great time seeing "Puss in Boots" and stayed up way too late having fun while Dad and Andrew were at a campout.

100 days

Foster has been in Kindergarden for 100 days now. I couldn't get him wearing his hat he made for the special day but Pearl was willing to model for me...little ham.

It's snowing

Pearl has been forecasting the weather about as well as the news....absolutely wrong. She goes around saying it is snowing and has to have gloves, scarf, and mittens on wherever she goes.
