She is here... okay I might do a bit better at blogging... but no promise. We were able to bless Avery this last week and it was such a joy to have all the family there and be reminded of how special the new spirts are that come to our home.

we're done!! It took some time, but I would stay we are finally done with the basement.. okay except the decor, and finsihing touches, but we finished the last big progect...the kichen in the basement. It was very stressful at times... okay only when girl power takes over and you decided to move the cabniet foward 31/2 inches after your husband leaves for work in a crazy panic an hour before the graniet installers will be knocking at your door. (thanks Carrie, Tammy, and Mom) or maybe when you install the stove and an extra helpful 5 year old turns it on just in time to melt all the warrently information, styrafom and zipties into a yellowing goo, or the mini flood of 4 inches of water flowing over the floor as a water line is not longer attached to the dishwasher. But after the trials of fire, water, and... the ice makers is worth the battel. We love the look. We are now up for a rest from the home project worlds.... What am I saying.. What can we work on now!!

MASON******danger

AHH he can climb. I pulll him down, and down, and down, but that just makes him giggle and go up, up, up. He loves the new found freedom of following the other kids around the house. The only truble is gettting back down once he's gone up. We have installed baby prision. Mase just stands and cries until someone free's him from his bondage.

v-day

Okay I am not very good at keeping up so I finally downloaded pics all by myself so I thought I would try to catch up. We had a great valentine dinner nothing is cuter then a billion kids all sitting up ready for some special grub. but here you go...

Reflections...

The entire family love to do reflections. This was this years painting by Carsen. He was so excited to paint Ashton making across the monkey bars. Emma had to be satified with a little water color. Ashton made a basketball scupture WOW.. I love to have the kids feel good about being little artist.

Christmas time a time for cheer!

This year we have been waiting for chirstmas since last christmas. Highland city had a free santa that following a wonderful primary party we headed over and sat with santa. I found all my kids asked for pets, a dog, a kitty, and pokemon. The last was from carsen.

I did it!

Don't worry mom I cleaned it all up. My sweet Emma decided to trim her bangs, but to her dismay that was not her bangs. After a quick prayer from Ashton with tears in his eyes he told her don't worry Emma I prayed and it will grow back. I dug deep and pulled out my hair stylist desires from my childhood, okay I didn't really have that desire but gave it a try... And here she is .. all beautiful again. I Have been stopped in the store to let me know that boy that is a cute hair cut.
