Jassy's First Missing Tooth!

I can't believe my baby girl is old enough to loose teeth! She is officially not a baby anymore.

Park City

Every year we take the kids to stay a couple of nights in Park City. The kids love staying in a condo and course the swimming pool!

We also like to go to the Alpine Slide, where there is always a ton to do.

Miniature Golf

The big scary slides.

Rock Climbing

There is also a Roller Coaster and a few little rides for the kids. The best is afterwards we get to eat at my favorite restaurant Baja Cantina.

It feels like forever since I have blogged! The last few weeks were crazy busy getting my kids done with school. This is our first official week off. We've only had time to do a few fun things. The kids really wanted to be lazy for the first few days and lay around in their jammies. We have been watching the movie "Up" almost everyday,so when my SIL sent me an email that there was a house built like the one in "Up" we had to go see it!

From the movie

House in Herriman, UT

It's painted just like in the movie and is going to be decorated just like it too. The cool thing is that it isn't that far from our house. There was a ton of people looking at it!

Olivia's Dance Recital

Last weekend we went to the Riverton Arts Festival to watch Olivia perform her Jazz Routine. She did an excellent job and we had a blast at the Festival!

Olivia and Olivia

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
