Barbie loves books

Since we started reading books every night to the kids, the change in them is amazing and they really love it. Samantha thought Barbie needed some of her good fortune so she set her up for bed and read her one of her favorites just so she could sleep better.

Andy's 4!!!

Well as you can see we had a cowboy themed Birthday party this year and the kids loved it!!! Jeremy had a great guy from work come out with his great horse and all the kids got to ride! It was great fun.

Andy really loved posing for the pictures.

And Sammie loved riding too!! And thank goodness Mom was here to help me with the cake this year. She is a great froster!!!

We all had a reallly good time!

Stair Sledding!

So Jer taught the kids how to stair sled.....I couldn't even watch until he got there helmets on.

And even though this one looks bad and is not for the faint of heart...the crazy kids with rugs burns and bumped heads did it over and over and over

They loved it!! Seriously!

Easter!

Before the hunt...........

After the hunt.................

The beautiful Easter outfits that Grams got!

I am an angel.......LOL LOL

Posing for family pictures.

And more Family pictures

And more Family pictures! We had a great relaxing day for Easter. Thanks Grams for the Easter outfits, they fit great! The only way Sammie would get out of her dress was a bribe of candy!

Our first trip to Yellowstone!!

We had such a great time at Yellowstone! We went to see the wolves and bears twice and they absolutely loved it! The wolves loved them too, as you can see they were bowing down to the kids (maybe saying a prayer before lunch?) LOL

Sammie loves to hug things but seriously? LOL

Andy is growing up so fast, he had a great time in the snow.

Wolves still following us around the park...

Still following....

Still following...

The Worldmark resort we stayed at had an indoor pool, a wading pool, and 2 hot tubs...it was fabulous, of course we had to swim alot! The resort itself was really beautiful and the town was so great.

This was one of the wolf caves, the kids loved it after they realized there were no monsters or wolves in there.

Posing for pictures, finally!

A really nice man took this one for us! What a great family vacation, were doing it again next year for sure. We got to relax and just enjoy each other. Life gets so busy sometimes you just forget to stop and smell the roses you know?

The poopin dance!

So you think its time to start potty training when Sammie has made up her own poopin dance????

Andy is a sunbeam!

Andy is really enjoying being a sunbeam this year and is so proud to show all of his accomplishments! BRING ON THE MACARONI NECKLACES!!

He is learning so much and even had his first primary event in which I forgot to take my camera! He also had his very first evaluation for preschool and his teacher says he is doing very good!

Andy's Christmas Program

This is quick and dirty just to get it posted.
I am so proud of my little guy, he did so good for his first time in front of a crowd.
He listened and participated so well.....We were such proud parents.

P.S. This video really showed me, how much Andy looks like me when I was his age....poor kid.

Sam turns 2!!!

We had such a good time over Thanksgiving with the family. Of course even though we were traveling the day of Sam's Birthday. Grandma made sure we celebrated a little bit with donuts and princess hats!

And of course we had to have a double birthday so we could have icecream cake and Janelle and Quinn's house!!!! (it was fabulous!)

He's got grandmas good hair!!!

Couldn't help but posts these pics....cause Jer has hair!!! I love you honey! Happy Anniversary!

Our last trip to Moms until spring (probably)

I really wanted to get to my moms one more time before we got snowed in here so we decided to go on her birthday. The kids helped me bake a LEMON CAKE (thanks for the recipe Goldia!!!) so we could wish Grandma happy birthday the right way.
Lisa my bestest friend and my sis and her kids all made it!! We had so much fun. Lisa helped out with the kids so much my mom was like "COME BACK EVERYTIME TAMI COMES!" LOL

Andy got to play games on her iphone and Sami got to put on lots of lips (chapstick). We had alot of fun and just in time too! As we just got snow in the mountains on Wednesday.

We even got to lock the kids up for awhile LOL I'm just kidding..they got in their all by themselves. Thanks mom for a great weekend and thanks Lisa and Theresa for coming!

Our trip to Billings!

We had such a great time in our travels to Billings. Jer had to travel for work and we actually got to go this time and it was a blast! We stayed in a hotel that had a water park attached to it!! Indoors even! They had a perfect part for the TODDLERS!! Andy went down the slide about 1000 times by himself. Here is a couple pictures and video of that :)

Then Jer had to work all day Friday so I took the kids to a TOYS' R US which we don't have here and A MALL!!!! I miss the mall!

They had a play structure there for the kids so we played there until they couldn't take it anymore then we just browsed around the mall! I didn't get to go into any of the stores but who cares! I got to WINDOW SHOP and it was AWESOME! The little things in life right?

Here is just a couple of the pictures of them playing at the mall.

Then of course...andybody that knows our family, also knows we can't make it through any adventure without an injury of some sort (sheesh!) So here is our injury of the trip.

Andy fell at the water park running not walking through the slide area :)

All in all GOOD TIMES TO BE HAD BY ALL!!
