What we have been up to

Kiya had Cowboy (COWGIRL)day at school.

Ryan and the kids went to Sea World San Antonio and visited some friends while I was in Dallas scrapbooking.

We took the kids skiing twice! They loved it!!

We had fun on Valentines day!

Brekken turned 3

Kiya turned 6

I got to help out at the Texas Stamped Cricut event (and play)

And I got to go on an awesome cruise with my bestest friend. (She was teaching on the cruise)

and lots of other things but I thought I would just share some highlights!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!

A fun picture from the past

Cutest thing this weekend! On saturday Ryan went to wake up Brekk because we had to go somewhere and he comes out of Brekk's room and tells me to "get the camera quick, you have to take a picture! Brekk is sleeping just like that one picture of you half on the couch..."

This is Brekk sleeping...

And this is me, when I was little....

Such a fun memory that we can now share!

Family Pics

Okay, So it has been a while since I last posted but I thought I would share a couple of pictures from our latest family photos. My cousin took these in May for us and I think she did a great job!! The feet one is my all time favorite and so I got it printed big and framed. Now to just hang it!!

New Names?!

We were in Vegas last weekend for a class that Ryan had. I took the kids and we hung out by the pool for 2 days! The kids loved it. While we were there Kiya informed us that she had a new name. We soon all got new names! See if you can guess what names we all got.

Sparkle Oranges

Grape Sparkles

Cool Kiwi

Cool Cherry

Thirsty Like a Hippo

As I was putting my kids to sleep tonight my daughter was bawling because she wanted a drink. This was like the 20th "I wanna..." so I told her she couldn't. (I know soo mean) Her bawling reply was "I'm thirsty like a hippo" Kids crack me up!!!!!

Well...

Well I thought I should update my blog and was having momentary lapse in thought. We are moved in to our new place. Now if those boxes would just unpack themselves! The kids love it and it is very nice to have more space. I am still super busy doing way to much for the office, working at the hospital, being a MOM (enough said), and being the YW secretary. Ryan is in YM as an advisor and is had some challenging moments lately as being the boss but I think some lessons have been learned and that he did a good job handling it. Kiya is liking primary and preschool and most of the time she is a good big sister and helper. Brekken is now in a big boy bed and likes to escape so bed time and nap time are always interesting. What am I talking about?! Life is always interesting with him. He is very energetic and very curious, and gets into stuff in the blink of an eye. I guess he is our very own Curious George. Life is good and full!
