Happy Valentines Day!

We made it simple this year. Since daddy already bought himself, I mean me, a new TV for Valentines day, we made him a simple gift of sugar cookies! The kids had a lot of fun decorating them! Especially Karlie. She has a sweet tooth like nobody else!! Don't worry dad, we didn't give you the one Karlie licked on!

Walking at Last!

My third baby has now enetered a much more mobile state!! She is now on the move finally walking. She is 14 months old so it is about time. Although Karlie didn't start walking until she was 17 months! Braden was much earlier at 12 months. They all end up the same in the long run! It is so fun to watch her little body move around. This is such a cute stage! I just love my little Hailie so much! She loves her mommy too!!

We made it on the BIG SCREEN!

Today is Super Bowl Sunday and Mike's whole family is from Arizona! So of course we had to host a huge super bowl party. Once everyone arrived we had an unexpected guest! News Channel 6 knocked on our door. We were house #2 on their story. They came and took some video of our family and here is the clip on the news tonight.

The funny thing about the whole story is that two days ago I came home from work and Mike had my "Valentines Day present" set up in the living room. He took it upon himself to buy a 52" TV! He had it mounted on the wall and everything. I wish I could say I was thrilled. Now after the news crew showed up of course he thinks it's just fine that he bought the TV! And of course all of the men in the family thought buying a new TV would be totally appropriate to do for the Super Bowl. Anyway, we had a ton of fun....too bad the Cardinals couldn't finish it off!!

The joys of kids!!

The other day I was playing with the kids in Karlie's room. It was so funny because Braden would pick up Hailie and Hoist her up onto the bed then they would all crawl off the end into a pile of pillows. They were being so funny. But what I caught on video was even funnier!! Now you have to understand that Braden is 4 years old and has been completely potty trained since 26 months. He is a very good kid and never has accidents. I watched this so many times because it made me laugh so hard! I love my kids!!

Okay, so I found these darling matching sweatshirts for my girls. Mike was out of town and I decided that I needed to get the kids pictures taken and I was going to do it now. The thought of taking them all to get their pictures done is somewhat insane!! After the stress of getting them all dolled up, I took them in. Amazingly, they were wonderful!! They really did so well. I will post the pictures in a few weeks when I get them. Here are some pictures of us getting ready. Luckily, they smiled even better for the realy photographer!!

Christmas 2008

We had such a good Christmas this year. Every year just seems to get more and more fun with kids!! It was a very eventful and tiring day visiting with family! We had so much fun and my sweet husband spoiled me like always!! It was a wonderful day and the kids just can't wait till Santa comes again!!
