Family Pictures 2010

The wind was insane the day we took our pictures, but we knew we couldn't wait another day because we wanted to do a fall picture. Anyways due to the wind the pictures didn't turn out exactly how I wanted them to, but they are family pictures all the same :) I'm glad I got what I have and that's all that matters. 

Snow Fall 2010

We woke up the other day and it was snowing. The girls had to go to school so they couldn't play in it and they were so sad. I promised them that if it was still snowing when they came home they could play in the snow. So when we pulled up to the house and it was still snowing they jumped out of the car and started catching snowflakes. 

I tried to talk them into gloves in the first place, but they had to learn the hard way :)

We came inside to make hot chocolate and I made it too hot so they were complaining to each other about how hot I made it.

At least it made their hands warm.

 

 
FINALLY :)
Round 2...with gloves this time. They played outside for 2 hours and they were sad it wasn't snowing anymore by the time they came in. 

 
Jon can't deny them that's for sure!

We do it Dirty around here!!!

HA HA HA I think I'm funny :) Jon and I a while back decided to run the Dirty Dash. It's a 6 mile "run" and you go through all these obstacles like running up a hill with the sprinklers on and jumping over hay bales, getting sprayed with a fire hose, swimming through mud and running through a swamp. Needless to say it was really pretty....well fun. Jon and I had a lot of fun together because really we aren't together alone a lot these days. I am so grateful for my cute husband who is always ready for an adventure. I've always said I married a play boy and even at the age of 31 and the first counselor in the bishopric he's still game. He's such a little boy sometimes and I completely love that about him. Thank you babe for keeping me grounded :) Thank you for being so much fun. I love you more than love you and I always will!!!

This is the morning before. You can tell we just rolled out of bed and took off :)

1 down many more to go

So Maren has had 2 loose teeth for a while now it was finally time for one of them to come out and she started out pretty excited. (notice the 2 teeth growing up from her "guts" but behind her baby teeth.)

I gave it a shot first and started the whole drama off :)

Then Daddy tried

See Taylor in the mirror making Maren laugh? That's my girl!

Then we gave Uncle Jeff a call because she didn't want us to try anymore. For some reason she thought if Jeff did it it wouldn't hurt.

Well it still hurt, but at least he got her tooth out. She kept asking me "why do my guts have to bleed mom...why?"

Success!!
