Our very own Violet.

This is our drama queen. Her challenge program put on an adorable production of Charlie and the Chocolate factory, complete with oompa loompas and a chocolate river. She chose to play the part of Violet, which meant she got to chew gum...lots of it. She was a natural.









Today I was listening as my four year old son was trying to teach his two year old sister how to play "hot cross buns" on the piano. He changed the lyrics to "hot dog buns", because of course that makes a lot more sense. What are hot cross buns anyway? He would show her how to play it and when he was done she would try playing and every time he would say, "no, it's three notes like this"...Then she would patiently watch while he showed her again. Their little conversation back and forth was too cute. It put a smile on my face and reminded me why I absolutely love being a momma!

Halloween 2009.

We were down in Utah for Halloween to see this sweet niece of mine get baptized...





The kids played with their cousins all day long. Then it was time for the trick or treatin'. This year we had nerds, angels, a skeleton pirate and tinkerbell...not to mention a monk and a pregnant nun. Good times, good times.

What's on my mind lately?

All things baby. I am in the final stretch now. Only five weeks left, and furiously trying to come up with the perfect name for this little guy.

Jonas, Jonah, Preston, Cal, Porter, Tate?

I have my favorite...what's yours?

Autumn Days.

Although I am not a huge fan of the colder weather, I absolutely love the colors of fall. Beautiful! We have a tree in our front yard that seems to have an endless supply of leaves, which supplies my little ones with endless amounts of fun.

Rise and shout!

This last weekend we went down to visit my sister and her family. While we were there we took the kids to a BYU game. J could harldy believe that we were going to a "real live cougar game" and as we were walking down to the stadium they all kept saying "this is awesome"!

Yes kids, it is. Totally awesome.
