Strawberry Pancakes and Mommy Contents

We had a little gathering here Saturday morning for a friend who was moving. It was so fun to have all these little girls to eat Strawberries and pancakes and play games. What a great morning.
Lizzie sucking down a fizzie gogurt! A favorite in our household.
YUM! I love strawberries and pancakes. The strawberries were so good for being so early in the year.

I just updated Mommy Contents with a delightful story of what happened to us this weekend. Please check it out here. But if you don't care please comment on my photos below and let me know what I can do better.

The Haps Yo!

Ya so the lack of blogging has come from a few things but I thought I'd make it up to you all by a plethora of collageie type goodiness brought to you by my good friends and latest obsession of photoscape. Here's what we've been up to besides like having birthdays and holidays and what not


Collage 1: One day I went to check on Abby during her afternoon nap and she was not to be found in her bed. I freaked! I ran all around the house and she didn't answer to her name. I went back to her room and saw a little foot under her bed. And that is where I found this collage.
Sorry to wake you hun but for reals you scared mommy beyond words!

Collage 2: I'm really trying to summon my inner photographer. ( I know she's there because she critiques every single photo ever!) And thought I'd be all artistic or whatever and show a glimpse of our view from our house. They're pretty cool. If I can just learn how to make light my friend.

These Mountains are pretty special to me whereas 70 years ago my Grandpa was a sheepherder in those very same mountains and has so many amazing stories of his adolecent years in them.

Collage 3: Lizzie has taken advantage of the warmer snowless weather and strapped on her roller skates. She is hilarious to watch skating but determined to conquer any slightly sloping hill.
Yes the bum shot is my favorite because right after that she asked for gloves just in case she fell again.


K so the next section of this amazing photo tour is during our Christmas Holiday we went to my SIL Stacey's new house and took advantage of the ample untouched snow that surrounded her amazing home. And thus Sledding had to be ensued. So here a ton of pics.


Jeremy making the maiden voyage down the slopes. I realize now that I need a better lens for these long range action shots (See I know she's there inner photographer picky lady)


BIL curt letting me get a close up of his snow covered face before I was kind enough to brush off the cold. I love the fact that Curt is currently attending UNLV and his UNLV hat is soaked with snow.

Princess Natalie riding with uncle Curt. She wasn't too sure about her first trip time down the slope so Lizzie decided to give her some seasoned love and comfort.


Seriously such cute cousins!

Ethan and Savanah were lucky enough to have a Grandpa Drawn Sled over the feilds and through the snow. Once again (Inner photgrapher won't shut up) the lighting needs work.

I love this little pic of Lizzie just because you can't really tell but she's trying to give a "thumbs up" but her gloves are too big so instead it looks like a shaking fist. She loves the snow and loves even more going quickly in the snow thus sledding is an all time favorite with her.

Collage # ok so I've lost count and if you're still here seriously gold star: We all got wiggle carts from Jeremy's parents as Christmas gifts for the "kids" and had so much fun racing them everywhere. Stacey's giant garage made an awesome place to race them. Or derby them, or is it bumpering....

The men had to take a ride around two. Which honestly cracks me for the fact alone that so many of the men were way too tall for the machines and consequently had legs hugging their ears.
Favorite picture is of FIL Dave taking a cold rest on the concrete after being bumpered a little too roughly.



After being sufficently chilled we went inside and warmed up in Stacey's (at that time) almost finished house. We had hot cocoa and rice krispie treats and plenty of rosie cheeks.



....Really? You're still here? Wow! You deserve some sort of prize.... HMMMMM I can't think of anything really great right now. Why don't you leave me a comment and give me a few recommendations. But for now know that you are a C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N!

How Super Baby turned into Super Man

29 years and 3 days ago a super baby was born. The baby had super powers just waiting to be unleashed but they had to wait to be developed as he grew.

The super baby grew. He grew and he grew until he was two year's old and ready to take on the world.

The super boy continued to grow and became a mighty 3 year old and had mastered the power of the tricycle.
He knew he was ready to go faster and ready for bigger and better things so the super boy grew some more
The super boy soon learned that when he ran it felt like flying. He was faster than a speeding bullet and had mastered running 3 miles in super fast speedy times. The townsfolk were in awe of his super speed.

The super boy had also developed making super friends. Who also made super decisions and had super fun all the time.

But Super boy would soon leave his friends to serve a super mission in a super country.

He was a super missionary dodging bullets and saving those in need. But his superness could only last a couple of years with the super people of Uruguay. The Super almost man needed to finish his super schooling at Utah State University. So he could develop his super skills and improve his super brain but most importantly so he could meet this super girl


And fall in super love with her and eventually ask a super big question to which she replied with a super big YES! And they continued on life being super together.

The super Man put his super speedy power and his ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound together to do super fun things. He continued his education learning super hard stuff so that he could be a super cool, super smart, super employable engineer and eventually landed a super awesome job working for a super amazing company so that he could continue to live his super sweet life.


And now this super man can instead of being faster than a speeding train can watch them go by with his super cute girls.


And instead of leaping tall buildings in a single bound he can cause cases of giggles from his super cute son. We love our super man and are so grateful for all the wonderful things that he does for all of us. Thanks for always making life SUPER for all of us! Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

cake and balloons

I just wanted to post a couple of pix from Will's birthday party and give some general info. Will had his dr. appointment on Friday and I'm proud to say he is measuring in the 90th percentile for his height. (A big deal to his 5'4" mom) I'm sure he'll even out eventually but he was above average on everything. He's is officially done nursing (hip hip hooray! I'm slightly excited to have my body back.) And is looking more and more like a big boy.
Will had a fantastic birthday party despite the lame gift his parents gave him (a car seat) (We just couldn't handle another truck, car or train). It didn't matter though his balloon was his all time favorite present. He's still playing with it almost a week later (a good sign of a good present). And I just had to post his reaction to the cake. It was so fun to have a fast camera to take pictures of his face as he watched his cake come to him and then be taken away only to come back to him. Priceless.

And what is a first birthday party without pictures of a messy cakey face. Adorable.
