Silly at bedtime

December 2007

Tonight Justin and Katie were being so silly at bedtime. I was sure they would never fall asleep. They were up giggling and laughing for a while. You would think after such a long day they would crash. But somehow at bedtime they get this bit of energy and they want to play. Sometimes I come in and they have the whole room set up with all their animals, and beds made up for them etc. And other nights we put them to bed and they are out in a few minutes. They sure do love sharing a room though. We have begun to let Katie know that eventually she will share a room with her sister and she doesn't like that idea at all, and neither does Justin.

So blessed.

December 2007

I had the kids dressed up tonight, and they just looked so cute. Rob and I are so blessed and so lucky to have 3 such great kids. It doesn't take Christmas to remind me of that, I am blessed to see it every day. Thanks for being so great and teaching me so much. I love watching all three of them grow, learn and play together. I love how much Katie looks up to her brother and follows him everywhere, and how great Justin is with her. They have such a great relationship and one I hope they will always treasure. I can see it in Megans eyes allready how much she watches her older brother and sister and wants so much to play with them. Soon little one soon.

Growing up!

December 2007

Megan is growing up so fast and it is so fun to see her little personality start to develop. Such a giggly girl and so fun. She says ma ma now too and loves to be held. Mom is in love with her cute curls (not natural I have to sponge curl them), but I think they look so darling on her. She loved this bell around her neck and would cry if I took it away from her. She is starting to scoot around on her behind and in the first stages of wanting & trying, yet failing to crawl. Sooner than I think I will be putting up gates and babyproofing everything a foot off the ground again.

Work Party

November 30th, 2007
Sorry I know this is a little out of order but I neglected to share an awesome night of food, fun friends & dancing. Rob's work always put together such a great Christmas party every year at the Joseph Smith Memorial building. They had a great dinner and after they had dancing and it was really a lot of fun. Rob was still really sick but he was such a trooper. He is a really great dancer and so we had a lot of fun. I have been trying to learn some more swing, ballroom, cha cha, and fox trot so it was a lot of fun to try some of the moves. We even did some country swing and polka. I am still learning more and really enjoying it. He is constantly teaching me and some of our favorite date nights are dancing around our basement to Michael Buble after the kids have gone to bed. SO FUN!!! I love it. A special thanks to my sister Shannon, she came out and played with the 3 little ones so we could go. They all had a great time with her and couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had.

Ward party

December 8 2007

Today was the ward Christmas party. Here Justin is singing with some of the other primary kids (in striped shirt front). The theme was Christmas around the world and it was really cute. We all had a great time.

Shower Caps!

November 2007,

Kids can be so cute and so funny, I can't help but laugh along with them. This night the kids were in getting ready for bed (I thought) I was in my room, they came running in with Katie's pull ups on their heads. They were dancing around and singing. When I asked them what they were doing they said showering, and these were their shower caps! I was on the floor laughing. It was really hilarious! Silly kids!

Swimming

November 2007

Rob and I joined a gym (Lifetime Fitness)

in the first of October and
we have really enjoyed it. The kids have too. This is the kids swimming one day. They have a water slide but the picture didn't work out, Justin loved this. I had a picture of Megan and I also but it wouldn't post the picture rotated so I just deleted it. She loved the water and I was suprised how long she swam. Katie and Justin are also little fishes. As you can see they loved the water and have been begging us to go back. Katie kept walking out too deep and would start to float on her back she DID NOT like that. Other than that she enjoyed it. We are hoping to go again tomorrow now that our 4 weeks of sickness are over. We had a flu that went from one to the next in our house for over 4 weeks straight and it was awful. I am glad to be away with it now. I missed working out and I was glad to get back to my kickboxing and other clasees this week.
