My Baby is 3!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday my little SideKick...............

It's been a while since her b.day, but I would be awful if I didn't give her a tribute..

After all she RUNS OUR LIFE....

TIA is a clean freak, she owns toys but never plays with them....they sit perfectly in her room

Tia ADORES, ADORES ADORES her Dad, afterall they do look alike

Tia, has Madi and Koda to watch all day so she seriously is ahead of her age

Tia, has a smile that makes your day, and she loves to brush so that really helps her smile too

Tia loves to laugh and play, talk on cell phones, play with laptops and ipods, NOW doesn't she sound like a three year old

WE LOVE YOU TIA, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

HAppy ValeNTInes DaY!!!!

We Celebrated Valentines this last weekend becuause we are leaving town ......

Russ showed up friday night with a Babysitter, Roses and a very Romantic Letter. We drove up to Mt. Charleston slowly in Snow ( help set the mood). We drove to the Lodge, Russ carried in the Roses for our table which sat by the balcony and fire looking over fallen slow. We had a wonderful romantic dinner and drove home, again slowly. When we got home he had my gifts wrapped on the table, with exciting kids awaiting my opening them. Russ is so good at stuff like this, I hate to say but better than me. Thanks a lot Hun, I loved my gifts and the perfect Romantic VALENTINES night......xoxoxo

Oh, How we love the SNOW!!!

Family In Town!!!!!!!!!

Dani and Wade brought their kids and came to town. We had a great time. We spent time visiting and playing at our home. We swam in the warm pools at Trendwest Resort downtown. We shopped and shopped and ate and ate. It is so fun when our kids play so well together and us adults can sit and visit. We truly had a great time. Thanks Guys.

Disney On ICE!!!!!!!!!!

**I am sure all of us Mothers share the same memory of when you children

are just loving something they are watching, music playing and you just look

at them and love every minute of it. That is what this night was like.**

Russ thinks I'm nuts, Just last summer at Seaworld When Shamu was jumping,

music was playing and all those emotions are there I was just a bawling. He always wipes my tears and kinda smiles when I know he is thinking, "Is she for Real? What can

I say I am sentimental..........

His Number One Fan!!!!!!!!!

This picture has more to say than you can imagine. There isn't a day Tia isn't there ready to watch Russ Shave. She has been known to ask Russ to get her before he starts shaving. It is amazing, especially when I did the same thing as a child. I mean you can't teach these things to kids and they still pick it up, things you did as a child.

Russ took Tia on a date yesterday, he even bought her a dress while they were out. She hasn't quit talking about it. Russ said it was so worth it cause she gave him a kiss on the cheek. My mom said she will never marry because she will try and find a man like Russ. I guess that is quite the compliment to me. Don't get me wrong he isn't perfect, but Boy is he a Catch....

What a month........

OH WOW What a Month.......Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. We sure did. As you can see below the kids were spoiled and yet had a wonderful Christmas. I have to admit I was pretty much sick the whole break. It started with Absessed tonsils and just went on from there. WE stayed in St. George most of the time and had a great time with family. Between the Wii, four wheelers and Tia's new bike all our time has been filled with these new joyful items. As I look back over this past month I am reminded of the fun this gifts bring along with how time flies. Most of all I have been so hit with the gratitude I have for My Heavenly Father, and my Savior. I feel like I have learned more over this last month that a lifetime and am so grateful for my blessings. My family, My Life.

Aunt Kaeli Teaching Tia about how tape can be used for more than one purpose......

My Parents heated their pool to about 100 degrees over Christmas break and boy did we love it. Believe it or not at times it was even tooo hot....

Joey and TIa, best buddies, they actually have a darling love:hate relationship..
