We love friends!

Emma was so excited, she had Miley and Maron over to play. I know they don't look anything alike but I am not sure which is which it is a twin thing i guess. I am so glad Emma has some fun girls to play with here.

I never think my kids are short until I get pictures of them next to "normal"size kids.

SOOO tired!

Reagan hasn't napped in months! I guess I should make her play wii fit plus EVERYDAY!

Can that really be comfortable?

Watch out he is dangerous now!

Tyler started Karate on Tuesday and LOVES it. I forgot my camera so here is a few pics after we got home.

a sneak peak

I have been working on the girls room and here is just a quick peak. I have tons more plans for this pink paradise.

It is finally done...

I started the hall way before we even moved in and it was the HARDEST wallpaper removal yet. It ripped a bunch of the sheet rock and the ceiling was wallpapered with the stickiest glue ever. Plus we found watter damage and had to rip out part of the ceiling. I had to re texture the whole thing because I couldn't get the glue off. So what I thought would be a simple and quick fix turned into almost 2 months of misery. I would find problem after problem and would give up all the time. But last night I finished it with the help of Emily and Joe!

Before

And now....
looks like I still need to put the light cover on. oops.

I actually don't like the color but oh well I am going to learn to like it. Notice the ceilings are WHITE not papered!!!!!

I actually got Tyler's room done last week but still need to make the curtains so I will post it then.

A small reveal

This change was actually a little while ago and I forgot to blog it. I don't know how I would forget something so important because this changed my life!

I lived my first few weeks here without a microwave. It was so much harder than I thought it would be. So I quickly got a recommendation for someone that does custom cabinets and he ripped out this oven and cabinet and put in this....

He did an awesome job!

My little dancer!

Emma had her first dance class last week and LOVED it. It is a tap, ballet and gymnastics class. She wants so dance and sing all the time now.

New years eve party!

My sister's Amy and Trisha came for the night since they were driving back to Idaho. And of course Emily came over too.

We played a little Wii, ate lots of food and made funny faces

I hope you all had a wonderful 2009!!!

I can't believe Joe let the kids have a dog

Meet Biscuit!

Merry Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas...

I told Tyler he could not get up before 6:30 and he came in at 3:30 and said he didn't think it was time yet but he wanted to know just in case. I sent him back to bed and he came back at 4 and I sent him to bed again. then at 6:25 he came in and said he thought it was really close to the time and wanted me to check again. I told him just to climb in bed with me. I was hoping he would fall asleep and we could all sleep a bit longer. Instead every minute he sat up and read the clock out loud. So I was wide awake by 6:30.

Reagan took her time taking everything out of her stocking one by one. It was so cute to see her get excited about the little things.

Tyler had a very different approach then Reagan he just stood up and dumped!

Emma thought Tyler's idea was pretty smart so she just followed him.

Santa Got the girls Tutu's and leotards

Patiently waiting to open another gift.

they didn't want to take turns they all ripped into their presents.
