Blogging

Well friends, I found this link from one of my other friends blogs and I just loved it. In fact, it made me want to rev up my blogging again, just for the sake of doing it. You never know who you could affect. Hey, it could even be yourself.

Check out this site for some insight into what other people think of us mommy mormon bloggers.

Kid's First Time Skiing

We took the kids skiing on Saturday, and it was a fun filled family adventure!

Greg was so stoked to have Gavin on ski's by the age of two

Grandma Laurie came with us and let mommy and daddy take a run with out any kids. Lets just say it was divine. After having a child in between your legs for two hours, it is amazing to be able to carve in the snow.

The kids did awesome, and Hailey was really getting the hang of it by the end of the day. It was so fun to get out and just focus on the family.

Time to share...

It has been so long since I have blogged, that I considered just deleting it all together, but for the one or two of you that may check up on us from time to time, I thought I would share a few things...

Here are some pictures in overload newer to older, because that's how blogger works right?

Christmas 2010, don't the kids look like they are having so much fun? Mary and Joseph apparently don't smile. :)

Hailey was so happy to get her elephant Kala from Santa.

Hailey was a Lion in the wizard of oz ballet

Hailey turned 4 on December 24th and in true Hailey fashion, she wanted a pink elephant cake, so here is what I came up with:

My sister Kasse is now Hermanna Adams in the MTC, she is leaving for Tempe Arizona in two weeks. I miss her so much, but I am so proud of her.

My little Halloween animals:

Cheering for the Ute's is always a good time, even when Shakey, shakes us.

Date night with friends is a blast! Note to self: plan another date night.

We finally got our family photo's from Hawaii. YAY!!! Here are a couple:

Hopefully now that I am caught up with blogging I will be better about it, and keep my 2 readers entertained. :)

First day of pre-school

Yes that is right, my little baby is growing up! She was so excited to go to school this morning. It was quite a rush to get there but we did it with time to spare. I made her eggs and pancakes for breakfast and made her chug it down because she slept in. Hopefully that doesn't become a habit, or we are in for stressful mornings.

We got her a new outfit for her first day of school (tradition... right?)

We made her a cute tote for school with her name and of course an elephant on it (her favorite animal, which may phase out soon because I can't tear away her baby horse right now)

So excited for her newest adventure:

Wedding Madness

Greg's sister Makenzie got married last weekend to an awesome man. It was a huge event because they had a Cambodian ceremony the night before and I catered for it. I think I accidentally fell into the catering business, which has been a lot of work and also a lot of fun.

The day of the wedding Hailey and Gavin got to get all dressed up because Hailey was the flower girl and Gavin was a ring bearer.

My glam girl. Can you say, "Vogue"?

We actually got a shot of the family where everyone was at least looking at the camera. (A huge accomplishment)

Cambodian dinner that night: Greg, me, Makenzie, Richy, and Robbie

paint, popcorn, and pimpness

Hailey's cute face painting, everyone we saw that day complimented her on it and she was so proud of it. She was so cute because she took a bath later and started crying when it washed off and said she wanted her princess crown back. I guess I am going to have to take up face painting.

For those of you who know Hailey, you know that she is OBSESSED with popcorn, and it has now become a sunday tradition to have a movie and popcorn after church. She slowly eats one kernel at a time until she has eaten the whole bowl. Popcorn definitely qualifies as her favorite food.

My studly Gavin in his new pimp suit. LOL!

I just love these kids!

Playing with friends at the lake

We have been trying to soak in all the last days of summer as much as possible, so we went to the Herriman Reservoir with our friends and had a blast. The kids LOVE the beach, and could probably stay there all day long. They were so cute together digging and building in the sand. Who says you can't play on the beach if you don't live by the ocean?

Hailey, Kendra and Makaylee playing. Hailey has been so hard to take pictures of lately because she can't sit still for a photo.

Gavin and Brody diggin' a hole.

My girlies: Angie, Mariette, Janessa, Leslie, and me.

I love my girlfriends!

Montana

Well we made it to Montana for the 4th and had a blast! It was freezing cold, so we had to wear wetsuits/drysuits in my case, to go water skiing, but we still had tons of fun.

We were so happy to have uncle Tyson home so we could play with him in Montana.

Nothing better than peanut butter on a spoon!

Catch phrase is a must!

Family shots on the rock. We should have been water skiing rather than taking pictures. (Just look at that water)
