Through 25/365 photo challenge

25/365 Grow: This little one is growing up way too fast. It scares me when I watch her mimicking me. Just realizing that she really does watch everything little thing I do.
24/365 Sun: Snowboarding at Pomerelle. It was a perfect day!
23/365 Together: Dev's work finally had their work party. The theme was "redneck". It was a blast! **Notice Dev's stocking he made. Pretty funny!



 22/365 Electric: Some days space heaters are the best! The kids and I like to sit by them all winter long.
  21/365 Corner: My little work corner.
  20/365 Something you saw: these two cuties right after school it was about 40 degrees and they didn't want to come inside. Connor played with his backpack on. It's serious business.
19/365 Delicious: Dev and I have been making our own homemade salsa...soooo good!

 17/365 Ready: Presli got ready by herself today. Actually this is a regular occurrence. I love how independent and girly she is.
 16/365 Two Things: Presli's first day of School and just started Nursery. She is getting TOO grown up! She has transitioned naturally...loving and enjoying it all.
 15/365 An Ordinary Moment: Connor playing any type of legos is an ordinary moment.

Up to 12/364 Photo a day challenge

12/365 Surprise: Ironic that my theme today was surprise because I had a surprise party for Dev for his birthday. It was fun getting together with friends, playing games and eating good food.
 11/365 Water: Devin and I were on our way home from Idaho Falls and the weather was REALLY bad. Like the worst we have seen all winter.
 
 10/365 One 0'clock: At 1:00 Devin and I were on the slopes at Pomerelle. Great cold/windy day together.
9/365 DEVIN'S BIRTHDAY!!
  
8/365 Street: the view of our street. I LOVE where we live!
7/365 Something beginning with a 'T': Daw's shirt says "tough guy"....little cutie!

5/365 photo challenge 2014

5/365 day "Movement": Pres loves to play "ring around the rosies" with her toys. Today was a "Belle" day.
 
4/365 "Mine": Daws loves balls. He makes sure to let everyone know they are his.
3/365 "heart": Daws received his birthday card from Grandma Sorenson. Before she passed away she had cards for all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren labeled and ready to send off. She was so organized. It is so special to have something from her even though she isn't around...and in her hand writing. It is priceless!
 2/365 "Something New": The kids broke out in a rash over the holidays. This infection is something we haven't dealt with before. All three kids are on anti-biotics and hopefully they can kick it soon.

1/365 "Today": ringing in the new year with some friends. Ready to set some new goals. This photo challenge is one of them. It is the closest thing to scrapbooking and journaling I get to.

*Christmas Eve*

These are all out of order...anyone know how to put them in order??
 Dev had to work Christmas Eve. As soon as he got off we headed to Pomerelle and did a little skiing.
 Pres does pretty good for a few runs. She is slowly getting the hang of skiing and it isn't as scary for her anymore. She thrives on the cheers and hand claps! Love her. Connor on the other hand is a dare devil. He is silly as you can tell in this third pic. Love him.
 On Christmas Eve there are LOTS of santas on the slops. The kids loved it.
 We we got home. We did our traditional Christmas dinner and activities.
 Along with leaving cookies for santa...this little cookie monster took a few with her to bed.

I am ONE!









 He wasn't sure about the cake smash....
 Second try....on a different night. He loved the candle!
YUM! So good...

 Happy Birthday to our sweet little Dawson. Such a happy little guy. His toddling around is my favorite. He is a master at crawling up stairs but hasn't figured out how to come down. I don't have to put the gate up anymore though. He knows he can't make it down. Little smartie! A stubborn little guy at heart....he knows what he wants...when he wants it. I love his little jabbers like we are holding our own conversation. It drives me crazy but he grinds his only four teeth. Growing two more teeth. My shy little bug. He loves to climb, balls, cars/trucks (he makes the cute sound effects while driving them around), sugar, brother and sister. He doesn't like car rides, his sister constantly carrying him, being scared (thanks to big brother...he hates the hulk mask), being a lone. Sure "love you Dawsie" (as Pres would say) I am so lucky to be his mom.
