Social Darling Frock GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!

Its My Party Skirt GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!

Yes! Need to use my new sewing machine.=) Sew Liberated Book GIVEAWAY!!!!

For Blake's and my Christmas gift, we decided to take out the nasty ol' carpet and put in wood floors. It has been great! He and Mike Parrish have worked their bums off every night this week. All that is left is the kitchen. Thank goodness! We are ready to get back to real life! Spencer hard at work!

We went to Utah and Idaho for Thanksgiving. First we stayed in Logan with Spencer and Kellie, then on to Idaho Falls. It was a great trip. The cousins had so much fun. The only downside was Hailey getting strep throat so we couldn't visit our friends the Demetters or go to temple square, but next time!! Their true selves... What are you thankful for? Among the list "computers, the gospel, business time, church, pumpkin pie, you tube, etc." Watching the DS Freaking cute Addie!!!!! Visiting Blue New gloves Didn't mean to post twice, but thought it was pretty! Leaf fight with Uncle Spencer, the next day was snowball fight. Wow, somewhere with seasons!!!

We've been pretty MIA for awhile. Three kids is quite a handful!! But really, it's been great to have Brooke in our family. She is such a great baby. So happy. Sleeping through the night and we love watching her hair grow too!! The tree with all the ornaments on top to stop the tornada AKA Spencer from breaking them all! I realized our star wouldn't work on this tree so I threw together a star with some garland I had. I am not that creative, but I guess it works. The other day Hailey was fighting a nap as usual and fell asleep at the top of the stairs. Then she woke up and came down and yelled "I fell asleep without my underwear on!" Wild child!!! Every year, we each get a new ornament and when the kids grow up and move out *sniff* they get to take their ornaments with them. This is a pretty bad picture of both of their ornaments but it was kind of a rushed night. Hailey's says Hope. Spencer's is a santa, wooden to last longer! Brooke doing ...

Went to the air show beginning of November. After an hour in line to get on a bus (very exciting for the kids) and a lot of wind, we had a great time! Spencer has always been obsessed with airplanes so it was perfect. Next year we hope Ryan and Griffin can join us. These pilots are totally crazy!!! You couldn't pay me to fly upside down and/or zoom at another airplane, but it is sure cool to watch!

I know this has been done a ton of times, but it is still so funny to me every time. http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/ view/RjnFDiVhsyYWLhMs

Disclaimer: I am by no means a professional photographer....BUT I have always loved photography. In fact, as soon as I have a spare $4,000 I will go get a sweet camera and photoshop and possibly join the rest of the photographers in the world. But probably not any time soon.=) Actually, as soon as I have a spare $4,000, I will probably do my backyard, take up sewing (with the super cute expensive fabric), paint and super decorate my house. Anyway, this wasn't supposed to turn into "What I want to do when I have $4000), but now I am thinking of what you (if anybody reads this =) would do with a spare $4,000? Now I am really thinking: Go to Europe, go on a hot air balloon ride, sky dive (?), lypo (ha), see Coldplay, Dave Mathews, U2 (the good seats), go to Hawaii, go on a cruise, get a bunch of cute scarves, belts, shoes, hats. Okay, that's good. Anyway, enjoy Sarah and Clint!!!! Oh yeah, they are getting married February 13th.=)

Nothing like double chin smiles.... or playing with daddy!
