My Jophess!

Okay, so this is my little nephew Joseph. I love this weird little kid. He can be singing you a sweet song one second, then the very next pushing you off the couch! yes, he is rad. So I gave him a bath, and couldn't find his jammies. So I used some of Kaileys, and you know, since I was already putting girl jammies on him, why not go all out?! And by golly, he LOVED the little pink night gown! Who knew! I thought it was hillarious how he was strutting his stuff in this first photo. And in the second he has a death grip on some scentsy samples, he loves them! Such a character. Speaking of scentsy, I am having a party soon if anyone wants to place an online order or come to my party let me know! Here is the web site for Scentsy if you don't know what it is. I love it!

Kailey's 2! And Olivia's 4! YAY!

So my girls had birthdays within the last few days and I have finally found a moment to post something! My sister (we don't use the "in-law" part anymore since we are related twice!)Desi and her kids have been down here visiting and it has been so much fun! It was a really fun birthday for them this year with their little "be fri" (best friends) down here to celebrate with them. Here are a few shots from the birthday party. And by the way, I LOVE having the miner clan around when it is time to sing Happy Birthday. It is spectacular to have 30ish people singing to you!




Then we just HAD to go get ice cream! (moment of silence for Grandees closing...) We went to Dairy Queen and got sundaes with the cousins! What fun! Can you tell these guys love the heck out of each other?!

PS Thanks for all the wonderful gifts! And for the many Happy birthday songs from loved ones over the phone! You guys are swell.

Isaac Piano Recital spring 09

Isaac had another piano recital last night, it was great! he has really learned a lot in his 6 months of playing! Enjoy!

Tag! You're it!

PICTURE TAG!

Here are the rules.

1. Go to my documents/pictures.
2. Go to my 6th file folder.
3. Go to my 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 people to do the same.



This is actually a pretty good picture for having to be picked at random! I swear I didn't cheat! This is a picture of my sister Lisa, brother Jeff and me at my cousin Audrey's wedding at the Portland Oregon temple about a year ago. It was so much fun to be with them and just have fun and to only have 1 child with me was such a luxury! Good times!
Okay, I am tagging Lisa, Anna, Kim, Tyler, Amy, and Soleil. If you have already been tagged then never mind! Good luck!

Cute Rosie...

So here is Kailey Rose (will be 2 in about a month) singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I thought it was precious, so I had to share. The next video is of her and the crane mobile that her auntie Lisa made for her for Christmas. She loves it! It hangs over her head in her crib and every time she takes a nap, or goes to bed for the night she says "birds! Birds Mommy! Birds!" until I give them a spin and send them into flight. Apparently it is quite mesmerizing. She loves it.

Valentines Cookies

we made these fun, easy, and DELICIOUS Valentines cookies for FHE to give to our family and teachers. I actually stole this idea from another blog. :) (They are just oreos dipped in chocolate)

The kids got to do all the dipping and they had chocolate from one end of the kitchen to the other! Not to mention all over themselves.

Cute little(totally crazy) livy jane...

Kailey kept saying "Happy to you Mommy!" or "Happy to you Daddy!" She thought they looked like little birthday cakes or something because she was telling us happy birthday!

Snow Canyon

So I love this picture because I think it looks like giant dinosaurs should be roaming down that valley between the hills. That would be awesome. I can see it now...



We're going on a picnic! Yay! I love that my kids (especially Isaac) have inherited my obsession with picnics! An outing with the family is so much better when we have a picnic!


Totally rad cave. Scary and dangerous (with 4 kids!) but well worth it. So fun.


This one is for you Lisa. Cute little crazy spiky cactus!


I had never seen a Lizard crossing sign before! So naturally, I had to document it.
