Blog 2 Print

So excited!! I just made my year 2008 blog post into a book. Placed my order and should get it in a few weeks! Year 2009 will be next pay day! It is so amazing at what technology can do these days. It only take a few minutes. Not a scrapbook but blogging is easy and fast. So to all of you if my post get a little to picture-y (so not a word) and a little to much...just skip it. I am using this for my scrapbook....am I lame? It's faster....cheaper....what more can you ask for?!
blog2print.sharebook.com is who I used. I will for sure post when I have it in my hands! Yay!!

Who do I look like?

The last week on Facebook people have been putting in place of their profile picture a picture of someone famous that they have been told they look like. Me, choosing not to participate because I don't look like anyone. Good...I guess. I am an original. My sister's on Facebook both look like hot chicky's. One Drew Barrymore and the other Kate Hudson. So feeling a little left out...this is what I posted this morning! Yes....I am Miss Piggy!

Build-A-Bear

So...my older kiddos got gift cards for Christmas. Santa was generous. Felt they probably needed something to do while they were off track! Smart Santa. Anywho...the day came it is was a happy one. We ended up taking Beau man with us....which is always an adventure! He wanted his dog until I committed to buying it then wanted nothing to do with it! Funny...but irritating at the same time. My older kids had so much fun picking out clothes and naming them. A few weeks later they are still in love with them. Britt carries hers all over the house! Robbie's sits proudly on his bed. Brittyn's bear is Lila, Robbie's wolf is Dragon and Beau's dog we named Max. Spent a little more then I wanted to even with the gift cards. But well worth the fun afternoon I had with my kids.

Homework

I just asked my kids "Who's ready to do homework?" Beau piped up with his fat little hand all the way up in the air. Yelling "ME ME!!" He went right over to the table and sat down. Where are my other two that actually have homework?? Sitting in front of the TV acting like they didn't hear a thing! Hopefully this is a sign of what's to come with my little man....wishful thinking...YES!

Skiing!

Skiing has always been a something T enjoys to do...the last couple of years he has taken Brittyn. She loves it and has gotten to be pretty good. It is something she looks forward to do ever winter. A few weeks ago he decided it was time to start to teach Robster. Me...scared, because it took a lot of taking into. He went because T told him he would buy him goggles! What ever gets him there I guess! Skiing and lunch with dad! Big huge grilled cheese from the resort...WOW and don't forget the cookies!! He loved it! I love that T likes and enjoys taking the kids to do fun things. He is a wonderful daddy and my kids adore him! I am hoping next year I will be able to go with them....give my crap knees some more time to feel better. I am feeling a little left out! So, here are a few pictures.

Giving a thumbs up!

Tis the season...COOKIE SEASON!

Girl Scout cookies season has begun.....I am sure most of you know that I have an extremely cute girl scout that lives at my house!! Her name is Brittyn, she is 9 years old and this is her second year selling the cookies. Last year she sold almost 400 boxes....THANKS to a lot of you!! They are 3.50 a box and she has to have all orders turned into the "cookie mom" on Feb. 1. Here is a link to show you a picture and description of each cookie!! Let us know of you would like to place an order! www.girlscoutcookies.org/meet_the_cookies.asp

Williams Granddaughter Party

That time of year again...a party for just the girls! I love these women and their daughters! Trent has some of the best cousins in the world and I truly mean that! I have so much fun and can be myself with these girls! They are my friends! I wish we saw each other more often and even lived a little closer to a few! Sowby's hosted it this year and Tiffany was so nice to have all the chaos at her house. It was a princess theme...the little girls made crowns and hair bows. Tacos for dinner and a chocolate fountain after! Yum! I love you all! Hugs all around! Note to Mindy....next time you take my picture make sure I am aware. That way I can pretend to look somewhat pleasant! Tiffany....don't you agree?!

The party was in Bountiful this year...a little drive but loved every minute of it. Just Britt and I in the car...which is rare! I love this girl....she has so much spunk and personality! She is my all time favorite girl to be with. She complains all the time that she wants a sister (sisters are the best) but that is why we will always have each other! For that I am truly grateful!! I love you Bug! You will always be my #1 girl! I so so love the men in my life but girl time is so much fun and for sure needed!! We talked, sang loud, chik-fil-a on the way home...because their was no way she was eating a taco! Heaven for bid!! A fast stop a Target for base and a new Cd. I love spending time with her!

Happy Birthday T!

My sweet, amazing, wonderful, cute hubby turned the big "33" on Jan. 4! Oh yes all 33 candles were acounted for!! Holy smoke!!! Happy Birthday to the love of my life....I truly adore you!!

Tates Belssing

Bradley "Tate" was blessed this past Sunday....here is my sister Julie and her cute little family! Can I just say what a sight it is to see my whole family in a church meeting. We take up like 5 rows!! It is crazy and growing fast! But I love it and each one of them dearly and wouldn't trade it for the world!

New Years Eve Party....

Every year Jenn and JD do a party on New Years..."Taco night" everyone is invited even with your kids. Which makes it super easy and fun but lots of chaos! They make millions of tacos...this year I brought my homemade salsa. Great food and lot of fun people! Here are just some random pics of the night! Brittyn girl thinks we all need to dress up for new years...like in the movies! So, she did! Trent with baby Jiji...again with the babies!

Me and Julie booly....love her!

Little Livvy...my brother Brads little girl. She broke her arm last week:( but she is so cute in her pink cast!

Robster doin a little chalk work....they have everything to do at their house! Truly everything and anything! They have the best party house!

Corey and my so cute nephew Owen!

My momma and papa....Jill and her hubs Mike.

My favorite ladies...all the Hackwell chicks minus the little girls. Oh yes, and baby Tate!

We of course left before midnight hit this year...are kids where so tired! This is what we came and did. Microwave corn dogs all around!!! Woot woot! Brittyn and I were the only ones that made it to midnight at our house!

HAPPY NEWS YEARS TO YOU ALL!! Hope the best for you and your loved ones with 2010!

Snow!

My kids love snow! Beau thinks just because he is out side he has to pull everything out of the garage like summertime....brooms, shovels, bikes...really everything comes out!
