Entertainment for the Bored

As my kids get older it becomes harder and harder to keep them entertained. The other day they were getting a little restless, so I turned on the jets in our bathtub and filled it with bubbles. They loved it! First they played next to it with cups and spoons and then they couldn't resist and they had to get in.
The other day Ethan and I washed our car in the garage. It was too cold to wash it out in the driveway. He felt like such a great helper. I have discovered that each job that the kids help with doesn't have to be perfect. Just as long as they put the effort into it. :)

Christmas recap

I know, I know a little late. I have just been really busy with Taxes, my preschool stuff and our adoption paperwork.
We went up to my parents for Christmas. The first night we stayed in a hotel, which was great fun! Wes and the boys went swimming while Lilly and I hung out on the swing.
It snowed a ton up there. If we didn't have a four wheel drive we would have been snowed in.
A lot of my siblings live up in Idaho, so it was so fun to visit with them. Liz and her family came up to. I just love my family!

I've been tagged

My sister Liz tagged me. She did this thing where you go to google and type in your name and see who else in this world share the same name as you. Here it goes...

These are the pics I found for my name.

Happy New Year!

This is the picture we used this year for our Christmas Card.
I was just about to post our Newsletter, but decided not to. I am a little skeptical of the web and sharing too much. If you know what I'm saying. Love you all. Hope you had a great Holiday Season. Now on to the New Year to start fresh and create New Memories.

Lilly's first hair cut

I have been cutting hair ever since I was in Junior High. So, I cut my kids' hair, Wes's and mine as well. I decided Lilly's wispiest had to be contained. I trimmed her hair a bit and wanted to share some photos with you.
I took some before and afters. I like to put her hair in two piggy tails.
As you can see, Lilly can't get enough of her veggie tales tooth brush. :)
