Lanterns and Wreaths

I don't know what it is , but I LOVE wreaths! My heart skips a beat when I find one that I love.  So I got a new one for Valentines Day, and I had to hang it up.  So my front room is "Snowmen" for January and a little bit of "Love" for Valentines.   Thanks to Christmas gifts I also got some new Lanterns that I'm excited to decorate.  

I need to find a cute heart to go in the middle of the wreath! 

Now I just need it to snow!  

Life as I know it!

I don't want to be negative, but I am so glad that 2011 is behind us.  This was a hard year for us!  It first started with Zane getting laid off from his work.  It was very stressful to have your husband lose his job and being 9 months along with your 5th child.  He started school in April, which made it so we never saw him.  To help with matters I got a job working for Target from 4am - to 8am. During the holiday season we had to work almost everyday from 3am -to 9am.  It was pretty hard to come home and be a happy mother/wife.  I take my hats off to all the working mothers out there!!!!   Zane is still in school, but is almost finished!  He got laid off again last month, but is finding LOTS of work in Davis county from the big wind storm that happened several weeks ago.  It was a stressful year, but it was also one with many good times.    Just wanted to add a few pictures of 2011

 Brody turned 7!  

 Love his toothless smile!

 Gavin turned 4! He was really spoiled from Grandpa and Grandma! As you can see he loves "Toy Story"

 Trevin soaking his shirt with spit! He was my most slobbery baby. 

 Me and my hubby.  Not the best picture!  We don't have very many together. I am going to try hard and get more of us together.  ( he hates his picture taken)

Picture with Santa.  I'm sad that Trevin wasn't in the picture he was sick and had fallen a sleep.

Bring on 2012!!!!!  

Ty turns 6

Ty had a great b-day!  We went out to dinner at the Pizza Pie ( very good ) came home and opened presents and had cake and ice cream.  He was lucky because he got two cakes!

The big wind storm

Last week we had a big wind storm that came through.  Zane went to a late movie and when he came home, he found are trampoline over on the neighbors yard.  This is what it ended up looking like!

He put two metal posts on the bottom so the wind wouldn't take it away.   We were planning on getting a new one around spring time, so it was ok.  The kids thought it was fun to play on it up-side down.  It probably wasn't the safest...but they had so much fun.

They found it a lot easier if they took their shoes off.  I can't believe it is Jan. 6th and they are able to take their shoes off and not freeze to death.

Zane was holding Trevin trying to keep him warm. I don't think it is working very well with his cute little toes hanging out. haha

Say "Cheese"

When I pull out my camera this is what Trevin does! He pulls the funniest faces.

Halloween 2011

This year the boys dressed up as the " Avengers "  And of course Morgan was "Little Mermaid" 

Had to add "Hulk" in to get the whole effect.

 Morgan loved her bright red hair that went with her costume!

Front porch decorations!

 Zane got the old fence for me and he made the shadow box.  

Morgan turns 3

My only little girl turned 3!  She was so excited for her birthday! When you asked her what she wanted, all she would say was  " Little Mermaid. "   She is little spit fire!  She is all girl!!  

I went on line to order her cake.  Found the perfect cake at Baskin Robbins!  Zane went to pick it up the next day, when he got home this is what it looked like.

I thought it was so ugly!  I was very disappointed in Baskin Robbins.  I don't think I will be ordering from them again.   Oh well!  Morgan thought it was great! 

 Birthday Girl

 Brothers waiting and watching their little sister open all her pink princess toys! 

 Singing "Happy birthday"

And blowing out the candles! 

This little princess is my best little friend! I hope it can stay like that and never change!  She makes my heart melt!  

She looks up to her older brothers.  But they don't get away with anything when she is around!   LOVE YOU MORGAN!!!
