Dance

 Jadyn got to perform at the halftime of the highschool basketball game. This is Jadyns best friend Emma.

I asked her if she had fun? She said "I didn't have fun.... I had SUPER FUN!"

Half of February

 

The calendar for this month. Yuck is all I have to say. It's been exhausting. And last night I put away the last of the laundry and then hid under a blanket on the couch, with 2 remotes in my hand.... And a bag of oreos. Because I was badly in the need of some me time.

Sweet little hands digging for rocks.

 He mastered the spider web bars. All the way to the top and back down the other side.

 I took a picture of Jadyn sleeping because this is the only time I get to look ate her anymore.

I made rolls for the first time. They were not very good and I don't know if I will be trying this adventure again. So much work and not even worth it. Very disappointing.

 We got a Ipad and had to try out the camera. Happy Valentines Day.

 House pictures that people have been asking for

 Ok 2, you all just need to come visit!

 We like the park. Despite it being pretty cold. Most of the pictures are from 2 different days at the park.

Before March gets here I'm sure all the Ghiradelli brownies in the pantry will be gone. But thats what i get for having 3 kids in 4 years. :)

Life. From Pats I-Phone

Dinner at Pizza Hut. (I swear we don't always laugh when our kids beat each other up.)

Enjoy The Words

Documentation. It's bad. I know. Priorities. Blogging not being one of them lately. There has not been alot picture taking around here lately, so you'll have to enjoy the words. Where to begin? We moved across town. Really it should be it's own blog. I wanted to remember all of the sweet friends who helped us. Sister Yager stayed til 1 in the morning to watch kids, while we cleaned out the old rental. Brother yager helping til the very end despite trying to hide being really really tired. Dinner from 2 friends. My in-laws coming to help unpack. How did we get so blessed. And the house, It's really beautiful. I feel thankful everytime I pull in the garage. Really love the house, and wish we had bought it, not just renting it. I have an empty cupboard in my kitchen. Amazing! Jadyn and Maddux have been doing gymnastics. Jadyn really likes it alot. Maddux has his days were he does not want to go. I don't think I will sign him up again next month. Jadyn keeps us busy. Next month we are doing dance and a jewelry making class the school offers. Some days I feel as if all we do is run her around. Maddux (my normally easy child) has been not so easy lately. Threw a fit at the elementary school today, when I walked two feet away from him. And then threw another fit when some neighbors stopped by to say, "welcome to the neighborhood." He doesn't adapt to change very well. My Grandma Mortensen died and we drove to Colorado for her funeral. My Dad is the youngest of seven brothers, so it was a large funeral. She was 96 years old and spent the last 15 years of her life in a wheel chair. We know that we will see my grandma again and we're happy that she was able to move on to the next life. I'm thankful for the knowledge that familys can be together forever. Bodey has been sick with a fever. I have been asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting on sunday. Am always busy with primary. Pat has been doing alot of interviews, trying to hire some new employees. 

Here are the few pictures I have of this month. Sad.

 They don't fight over water. This amazes me. They love to brush their teeth together.

 I was begging Jadyn for a picture. She said ok but only with her puppy.

So I got a picture with her puppy coming out of her shirt. She puts animals in her shirt like this all the time. Their heads sticking out.

 The seven brothers

 Our family, my mom wanted a picture of everyone before Kyle leaves on his mission in 2 weeks.

The brothers in my life.

Snowmen

Maddux did all the hard work

I took pictures, Bodey made a tiny one.

Phew!

Ok maybe I helped him with this huge ball.

 Bodey "Mom take a picture of my snowman." (cutest little snowman ever made)

 He was so proud of it.

Love building snowmen. Love my boys.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Self Timer Christmas Photos

 Next year, a promise to myself we will actually get real photos taken. Its extremely difficult to get Pat to take a photo, but he did push the self timer and give it 2 trys. This turned out the best out of the 2. So it wasn't quite what I had in mind for a Christmas card, but Hurray it's a family photo.

Jadyn wanted a picture with her head in the middle of the wreath.

 Bodey is just as bad as Pat.

 Oh Maddux and that smile, it never gets old to me.

I baked a quadruple batch of chocolate zuchinni brownies. They took up the entire kitchen and dining room for a few hours.Yum. I hope people consider themselves lucky to be on my Christmas List. Yum.
