The little baby bean is ONE . . .

Today is baby's birthday and she is officially one year old! She turned one at 10:14 am and as I held her when the clock hit 10:14 am this morning, I can't help but remember the chaos of her birth. I am actually thinking that this moment is just a little better than that one :) To see her smiling, happy, and healthy is a great gift! We are always giving her nicknames and one of them is Abra Cadabra . . . so . . . here's her birthday party invite that I just emailed, ha ha ha . . . it was fun to make, the kids and I giggled all the way . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BEAN!

Fun little adds . . .

My cousin Parker Jacobs posted these videos on facebook, they are like 1970 LDS ads and they are too cute and still true . . . so enjoy . . . my cousins are in two of them . . . the little girl at 5:06 and the boy at 8:03 . . .

Snow Revisited . . .

Ok so I posted these on my "facebook" account, but I intended to post them here. As it seems like everyone has heard, we got a TON of snow up here on Tuesday. The final count was 33 inches in 24 hours. CRAZY! It is actually the first time in my life where I have felt totally and completely SNOWED IN! All the other times, it was like, ok, I shouldn't go out in it, but I could :) This was I CAN'T! It was a lot of fun to just hang with the girls and cancel anything I had going and just chill (literally). So here's the pictures from that glorious storm.





Then last night Cody and I ventured out to the great city of Wendover (note my sarcasm) for a little get away it was a lot of fun and when we came home we found that we had left our front door WIDE open! All the way! The house was freezing and the heater had been going none stop (we are so excited to see that bill). Luckily we live in the middle of nowhere and no one came in and stole our stuff :) Note to self, whenever leaving to go somewhere . . . close the door behind you.

And last but CERTAINLY not least, we are SOOOOOO excited that Dave and Kathryn had their baby early this morning! Little Cole Richards Todd came in a hurry. I'll let Dave and Kathryn do the official announcing but I am so excited to talk to them and see the newest little MAN! YAY YAY YAY!

Long time no post

Ok~ so it's been a long time and no post so we will do a little update (not that there's a lot to update) but~ I have been crazy busy with my photography workshops and while they were successful (I think) I am glad they are done with. I have all sorts of ideas for "expanding" my business but am just trying to think of the right way to go about it, so we shall see :)

Hubby is working with his dad in Provo right now on a Hotel and is hating the drive, so . . . he was super excited (not) when he found out his next job will be in Payson! At least it is another Walgreen's building so he can get it done in just a few months, but we are planning on him staying out there one or two nights a week :(

Cowgirl is sick today (throwing up all night, boo) but for the most part a healthy beautiful girl. She LOVES the video game Zelda and has told us (and many other people) that she thinks Link is "dreamy". She is growing up fast and I am happy to say, really has no interest in boys :) (BIG SMILE).

Princess is a hoot, she makes us laugh continually by the things she says. She has "graduated" from the nursery and says that she is a Sun Blink now (it's supposed to be sunbeam). When she sings the song it goes like this, "Jesus wants me for a sun BLINK" (as she blinks her eyes hard). Funny Funny Girl.

Baby is just the happiest little thing ever! Her smile is the cutest thing, she has 5 teeth and will be one on February 25th. She has been sleeping all night for 4 nights now (keep our fingers crossed) now I just wish that Princess and Cowgirl would do the same, he he he. Baby is super close to walking and seems like she has been since she started to crawl but she is cautious so we still haven't made it too far. She is a little dolly who LOVES her daddy.

We love our family and are super excited for DAVE and KATHRYN to have their little man! YAY! So that's the run down for us these days and ya know life is grand.
