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!!

Pumpkin Patch

So life has been pretty busy so I have a lot of catching up to do on here. For Taylor's Preschool we went to the pumpkin patch and we had a ball! I hardly ever get to just focus on Taylor because Maren is busy and Lauren is a full time job right now. I had so much fun playing with my little girl I wish I could do it more often.

This is a picture of Tay when we got on the trailer to head out to the pumpkin patch. She is such a cute little turd!!

This is a picture of Lauren on my back pack on my back :) I had to ask my friend to take this picture for me...thanks Camille.

They got to pick out their pumpkins and then the guy would come over and cut the pumpkin for them. Taylor was so excited and it took her about 2 seconds to find the pumpkin she wanted.

This is Taylor's best friend Grace

So cute

After they picked out their pumpkins they got to go play for about an hour on the play ground there. I love this picture because Taylors little pig tails are bouncing all over the place while she ran to the slide.

Once she got to the slide she was a little scared. 

This cute guy at the top of the slide helped her down. (I am not suggesting that I think he is attractive mostly because he is probably 17 years old, but I am just pointing out that he was very sweet helping my little girl get down the slide)

Taylor wanted me to go on the barrel ride with her because she was too nervous to go alone so I of course brought my camera along and got this really cool shot of us going through the corn!
