Happy Valentines!!!

Ok, so this isn't your "normal" looking Valentines Card

but hey when do I ever do anything normal? hehehehehe

Happy Valentines from our home to yours :)

*Stand a little Taller**

I'm just so grateful for a Prophet that was such a great example to not only our faith but to so many others. So with the passing of our dear Prophet I'm grateful for his teachings to stand a little taller and to be a friend to anyone. I'm so glad to know that families can be forever :)

15 tHiNgS i LoVe

Ok, so Tasha tagged me forever ago. I really love way to many things!!!!! So I'll try to keep it to 15 :) and in no particular order......

15. Ok, so I am addicted to reading! (any romantic, mystery, funny, ect...) Not in a crazy way but in a "kids, mommy need to finish this book so I can sleep tonight!" Ok maybe a little obsessive. Once I start a book (and its interesting) I must finish it-I can't get anything done- So I've been trying to limit my book reading so that my children, husband, home don't get to neglected!

14. I looooove GUM!!!! Most any flavor will do! (ok, there are some nasty flavors) It makes my mouth happy!

13. one word... PREVIEWS! If I'm late for a movie and miss the previews, I'm not gonna lie to ya- it takes away from my movie experience =) The previews rock!! It totally gets me excited to see the movie- ok, so I may be a big geek but what do ya do :)

12. I love food!!! Especially when I don't have to cook it! So I guess I really love going out to eat -hmmmmm Cafe Rio!

11. Holidays- I love everything about them! I love having my hubby home from work, spending time with family and all the excitement that goes along with it!!!

10. Digital Scrapbooking -this should be close to #1 because its so much fun. I love the ease of No cleanup, work on it whenever I like, put tons of pics on one page and have it look good, print as many as I want..... I could go on and on!

9. Taking pictures! (and looking back at old ones :) Pictures truly capture that moment in history you'd like to keep forever. (ok, some you'd like to get rid of but can't-like on my 16th
b-day my friends and I combined our birthday and had a party and our goofy guy friends bought us a toliet from the DI (yes, gross I know) so anywho we each took turns posing on the toliet for the camera, (remember we were 16) so by the time it was my turn I was in a goofy mood (imagine that- hehehehe) and I made the most ugly face ever, I seriously looked like a crazy person. Every time I look at it I cringe but at the same time I remember what a fun time we had that night!!!) Awwweee the memories we make :)


8. I really like cleaning products. Of course if you saw my house you'd probably laugh! hehehe but really, I love the idea of cleaning products that make my life easier! ohhh I love Paper Towels- if I could win a year supply of something that would be it!!!

7. I love putting clean sheets on my bed -well of course its better then dirty ones :) Ahhh there is nothing better than soft, clean, tucked in sheets!! ohhhh and towels.

6. Looking at the Sunday paper and all the ads. Its my favorite thing to do after church! Looking to see what great sales and bargins await!!! along with that I love clearance racks!!

5. Salsa Verde Doritos! Hmmmm, I seriously ate a whole bag in two and a half days (not my finest hour:) I love to drink it with a big glass of milk--ohhh and while reading! I don't buy them very often because they are my addiction :)

4. I love the idea of decorating my house. I don't have a whole lot on my walls but I'm always looking for new ideas to make it look better. I wish I could actually go through with most of my crazy thoughts but then I turn into a nervous nelly and can't do it! So until then I have lots of cute frames and lots of ideas that I hope one day will turn into a reality :) Any decorators out there???????

3. I really like the Wallflower plugins for Bath and Body works. (Except when my son pulls them out and turns them over so the oil gets everywhere =) I love how it smells up my house and makes it appear comfy and homey



2. Movies- I know I metioned going to the movies but recently I've really enjoyed watching the classic Disney Movies like "A Goofy Movie" that show seriously cracks me up. I like the music and it entertains my kids- Watching older ones takes me back to when I was younger and how much fun it was to watch with my fam. or my friends! Let the good times roll :)

1. Saturday Mornings-when the kids wake up (sleeping in until 8:00 hahahaha) they run to our bed and hang out. Its so fun- Its like we have this little family pow wow until the need for food kicks in. Then my hubby makes pancakes or waffles for us- This routine happens most saturdays and I miss them when we don't do it! I love my family :)





So there ya have it! Some of the things I love (or like to do). Maybe not to exciting but hey what do ya do??

*Too Big????*

Ok, so perhaps its time to change him elsewhere- but its still so easy to put him up there and change his bottom :) Of course I have to be careful now because he likes to scale the changing table and if I'm not careful I'll bonk his head if I don't lay him exactly in the middle. Oh time goes too fast!!!!! Potty training here we come =)

**Love babies**

I've been quite the slacker in blogging

and am so behind in the pics I've taken!!

This is my friends son Ethan. It was pretty dark by the

time I got there, but the few nautral

lighting pics we got were so cute.

This was one of my favorites. She is such a cute mom and

the way she looks at her kids (this is #4) is priceless!

**Sweet Baby Girly**

This sweet little girly is a friend of a friend. She had some of the sweetest expressions.

There were so many pictures to choose from.

Oh how I love the squishy bum shots!

This blanket her mom made for her. It is absolutley darling!!!

(Ashley you need to hire out :)

I loveeee this expression and how the moms toes are crossed :)

and of course some b/w pics!

and feet (of course :)

oh look at that pinky toe-makes me happy :)

*Sweet Dreams*

Ok, this little guy has fallen asleep like this for a week now-

It's just too darn cute

Whether he's on the floor or in a bed, he goes right to this position

*He's my little old man*

(don't mind the chocolate nose, it was a lot worse earlier-

We had a leftover cake and he had his whole face down in the pan eating and licking like crazy, all the while going "mmmmmm this is soo delicious"-all I did was watch and laugh!)
