Cute kids

Ok, these are just pictures of my cute kids by our cute skinny tree. I just love having the lights on all the time, espically at night. Anywhoo, they were just playing on the floor so I snapped a few pictures. I LOVE these girls, they make being a mom the best job in the world and I can't resist the cute smiles and sweet voices they have. Love you girls!



Cute girls!!!

Our cute family picture!

Christmas tree Hunting

Well, I know it has been way to long but between leaving my camera at my in laws for a week, all of us getting sick, and getting ready for Christmas I have slacked on my blogging. Sorry, but I have so great pictures and updates!

We had a blast picking out our tree this year. The weather was great, lots of snow and Annie loved it! We drove up early Saturday and had hot cocoa fruit, and donuts holes in the car. It was nice to just chat with Rex, listen to Christmas music and enjoy the scenery. The girls did great and we found the perfect tree. We met Rex's sister, her kids, and his dad up there to join in on the fun. I just love having a Christmas tree up. It gives off a warm glow to our house that makes me so excited for this season. We decorated the tree as a family and put up the rest of our holiday decor. I love Christmas!

Annie and Macey resting and watching Rex cut down the tree!
Rex had to climb up part of a tree to cut it down, what a stud!
Our half way decent family picture :)
I am the official light putter upper because I have to have it done just the right way and I am kinda picky :)
Annie loved decorating. I have notice that the bottom of the tree is always being rearranged by someone......
So much fun, I love that the girls are getting really excited for Christmas and all that has to come yet!

It's a ......

GIRL!!! We are having another girl to bring the grand total to 3 girls (4 including me) to our family! I am so excited and just love having girls, they are my favorite :) And Rex, although he will be severely outnumbered is so happy too! We just want to share the good news!

baby basting 20 weeks.....

Well, I thought it was about time to start the belly pictures. I like to compare them to my previous pregnancies....just for fun. So here is 20 weeks!! I am feeling great, except for being a bit tired. I constantly crave anything bread related and tons of fruit...and sometimes brown sugar pop-tarts:) Things I used to love don't sound good anymore, which is weird so I haven't even been making that many sweets. Which is really NOT me. So my food blog has lacked sugar goodies. But I know that all the brownie cravings will come back :) I can finally feel little kicks that make me so happy and make being pregnant feel so much more real. I love this baby so much already and I can't wait to find out what we are having......which is Monday morning, yeah!!! Some people might think it is weird, but I love being pregnant. But more than that, I love having a sweet new baby to love!

Annie is 4!

I can't believe it. Annie is 4! Seriously, where did the time go? She is my little buddy and I always tell Rex that I want our kids to stay kids forever. I love that she always sneaks into bed with me while Rex is getting up and ready for work. I love that she is so attentive and smart. She loves all things girl and animals too. She is sweet and good to her sister and friends. She is my baby and I can't believe that she is 4. I love that she wants to borrow my jewelry and wear my perfume. She asks if when she is older if we can share clothes and of course I always say yes. She loves to be in the kitchen with me and help and watch the food network with me too. I am so proud of her and they little girl she is turning into. I love you Annie, happy birthday sweet girl.
Annie picked out her own breakfast cereal and even wore the birthday hat for breakfast!
Her cookie monster cupcakes were a big hit but turned everyones teeth blue :) Sorry, and my girls got it all over there clothes too. I will rethink blue frosting next year.
Her first barbie from her uncle, she loves it! I found it in her bed the other day :)
And of course her scooter! She is always envious of her cousin Ryan's scooter so now they can ride together :)
The birthday shirt picture we take every year. So she so cute and I love this girl!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween and lots of fun activities too! The girls dressed up as Princess and the frog. They were sooo cute and making the costumes this year wasn't bad at all, they turned out great! We loaded up on lots of candy and goodies, which Rex and I nibble on while the girls are sleeping to cut down on the sugar intake :) Our pumpkins turned out great too!! What a great week we had.

Rex, I mean Clark off to work, I mean to save the world....


Visiting Rex and Papa at school. All the secretaries LOVE the girls so we had to show them off in their costumes.

Ahhh, hugging. My kids are the best, so stinking cute!

Annie doing Halloween crafts during quite time at home.


Trunk and treating at our church party! It was so fun and EVERYONE dresses up!


Right when we got home it was time to dump everything out and check out the loot! (We used to do this as kids too!)


Our pumpkins! Mine is the spider, Macey has the cyclopes, Annie wanted a happy pumpkin and Rex's is the really good wolf, he is a master carver!

Halloween Festivities!

We have been doing lots of fun family activities leading up to Halloween. I love when we do all the things that I really want us to do. It makes the holiday seasons so much more fun when you pack tons of stuff in!! So we of course went to the pumpkin patch and picked out the perfect pumpkins.... Macey HATED the hayride. Macey and I walked back to avoid any more tears, but Annie had a hoot. Well, just take a look....At the hay maze which they loved! Who knew that a bunch of hay bales would bring kids such happiness...

Macey, Annie and Kara checking out this really dirty pumpkin...no one would touch it :)

Trying to smile and hold pumpkins....not easy

Macey wanted to take all the baby pumpkins home. She actually made it home with 3.

For family night we made cookie brooms. Scary cookies that were in the shape of brooms that were delish!

Of course we had to do our annual sugar cookie decorating. Annie did great decorating her cookies... all of them were happy

Macey is supposed to be frosting. But most of it made it into her mouth, oh well :)

Us in front of all our glory. It was so much fun!!

Family cookie decorating is the best! Next, Halloween costumes and carved pumpkins! We love Halloween!

Really quick.......

Aren't the girls so cute reading up on how to be a good big sister? Well, good thing because we are expecting baby number 3 on April 5th! We are SOOOOO excited and I have just been waiting to post, so there you go! We will find out in couple of weeks if it will be another girl or our first boy! Just wanted to share the good news!



These girls are going to be great big sisters, I just know it! Yeah for babies!!

Fun Filled Saturday

Wow, we really packed a ton into our weekend! On Friday we went to Portland as a family. We stopped in Woodburn to look around at the mall, went out to lunch and went to the temple while my loving sister watched our kids. It was a great day! Next to be followed by a wonderful Saturday. We all went on a walk in the morning together while Annie rode her bike and then we were off the pick apples with some friends! We had a blast and the weather was great! After nap time we went to a friends house and pet her horses. She worked with Rex and dad at the middle school and every time we went to visit she told Annie to come over and pet her horses. So we did! The girls loved them. Next time they are going to ride them! We finished the day off with dinner and hot chocolate. After the kids went to bed Rex and I snuggled up on the couch, watched a movie and had a yummy dessert! We had a great weekend!
What a great apple, she ate apples the whole time we were there!

Annie and her buddie Kara, they love playing together
Our family photo, not bad :)
Me and Amy (and her little baby) Amy is amazing!
Me and my sexy rexy!
The girls waiting for the horses to come over to them by the fence
These horses were so sweet to the girls. They fed the horses apples right out of their hands!
Macey actually sat on one for a second. They have kid saddles, so next time we are going all out!

We love Glee!

Seriously, we love it! Rex and I have been watching the 1st season and the music is so fun. We have a bunch of their songs on the computer so Annie and Macey can dance their hearts out in my room! It is pretty cute!

Today, I had music on so peaked in my room (she shut the door so no one would see her) to see Annie admiring herself. She is so fun! Pay no attention to the unorganized desk, it gets out of control......



She loves to watch herself in her tutu in the mirror. This goes on and on for several minutes and songs.... Rex was down stairs wondering what on earth was going on :)

p.s. Sorry my blog has been lame.....not much going on around here and I feel like I can't post unless I have a corresponding picture to go with it! I will do better!

Happy birthday to Moo!

I can't believe that Macey it 2!! Wow, time really does fly, which makes me sad. Macey is such a GOOD girl, she sleeps great, eats like a champ, plays good with Annie and loves to snuggle with me :) I love my sweet girl and I am so grateful that she is part of our family! We had a great time celebrating her birthday with friends and family. She had her little friends over for hippo cupcakes and we also had family over for dinner! Macey loved every minute of it. Happy birthday my sweet Macey moo, I LOVE YOU

Hippo cupcakes, they turned out cute!

She loves blowing out her candles, so we did it a couple of times....it only comes once a year so why not :)

she go new blocks that she was excited about

all her little friends and Jillian, the oldest of the bunch but is so sweet to these girls:)

Really excited about opening presents!!

Me and my sweet girl

Testing out the blocks, they are fun and we have built many castles and houses
