The perfect ending to a perfect day!
What? Is there such a thing as a perfect day.
Okay, so today I got home from school at 10:30, I fed the girls some lunch and got Ady down for a nap by 11:15 because I had to go visiting teaching at 1:30 and so she needed to nap early. We got home around 3:45, just in time to get dinner started so we could eat at a decent time. Then T came for a visit around 5 - the girls ate dinner and it was time to say good-bye so we could start getting ready for bed. Not 2 minutes after T walked out the door, Ady came running to me telling me she needed to go potty - we ran but didn't make it. She pooped in her panties, so we get to the bathroom and she's gagging, I help her to calm down a little, pull her panties off, get poop all over my hands, up her side and on her socks. I start running the bath, get her wiped off and get her in the bath. Decide that I'll clean the bathroom while she's in the bath, start cleaning and look over and Ady's backed up to a side of the bath, saying I tooted! What? There's brown stuff floating in the bathtub! I pull her out of the bathtub and start the shower. Throw her in the shower and pull the plug on the tub. I have poop up to my elbows! Are you kidding me? Why didn't you do this when your dad was here? He could use some poop smeared on him. So, while she's showering I'm scrubbing poop out of the bathtub.
Oh the joys!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADYLEEN JOY! #2
Ooh, she is so darling I could just bite her!
(and I do on a daily basis!)

We didn't do much, had cake and celebrated with
Muppy and Grandpops. What do you do for a
2 year old, that really has no clue about birthdays?

We were going to go on a horse drawn sleigh ride
and the place called at the last minute and cancelled
because of too much snow. Of course!

It kept snowing... can you see our street? No, either
could we!


and snowing...Yes, that's our swingset and to the
left of that is our trampoline (buried!)


and snowing...


and snowing! Thankfully I have a wonderful
neighbor who clears my driveway for me!

Valentine's Day

We had a great V-day. We woke up to a treat from Cupid and then had heart shaped pancakes and then the girls had a visit from the daddy.

So, what do you do when your daughter asks you what we're giving her daddy for Valentine's Day? Well, you hurry and conjure up something - and this is what we came up with. I'm so proud of Lexxy, she dipped the strawberries all by herself and then I added the white chocolate. Aren't I a nice ex-wife?

What an awesome experience! We got to go tour
the new Draper Temple - I hope my girls remember this!

I'm telling you, this girl is a crack up!




Talking in sentences, potty-training and making
us bust a gut every day!

I'm getting better - I found a new recipe. So easy and delish!

Happy Birthday Lex! #5


So Lexxy wanted a Jungle birthday party - we
hunted for snakes & frogs, had the monkey climb the vine,
made animal puppets, opened presents (of course) and ate
Jungle cupcakes - fun was had by all!




No, I'm not that talented, but I do have awesome friends
who are (lucky me!) Isn't it darling - thanks Amiee!



(me)So... what do you want to do for your birthday?
(Lex) go bowling as a family.
(me) huh?
(Lex) you, daddy, me & Ady
(me) um, okay
Look at how happy she is... I love her!


I know this is kinda blurry, but she wanted a barn
with animals - this came from the hallway and led
her to her present the morning of her birthday. Pretty
clever, aren't I?
Okay, so I have to post about Ady, because she kills me! She is a unique girl and we love having here around!
What was I thinking asking her if she wants to make cookies?

This girls loves band-aids, do you think she learned a lesson when we had to take it off? YEP!


What is this you ask? Oh, diaper rash lotion - all over!



Not an unusual place for her!





This is my little Lexxy with straight hair.

Ho Ho Ho!

Oooh, I could squeeze their guts out!

Lexxy got an American Girl and loves it!


Christmas fun! This year was Christmas at my mom & dad's home. More cousins, lots of presents and too much fun. I'm really grateful for such a wonderful family!

Happy Halloween!




We got to spend Halloween with lots of cousins and lots of fun trick or treating. This doggy costume is adorable, my grandma's sister made it and gave it to us when Lexxy was little, pulled it out of the closet and woila Ady's a doggy!


Aren't they darling!
