Decisions

I know it isn't Valentine's Day yet, but....

Perfect Personalities

These two are hilarious together. Sitani is always so hyper and crazy and doing weird things with Elijah. Elijah is so mellow and laid back and just laughs when Sitani plays with him. They are a match made in heaven.

I can't believe how big my baby is. Noooo.... slow down!

XOXO's

I absolutely love having a girl in our family. Marley seems to soften up my day (a day from wild and crazy 2nd graders, a day from annoying traffic, and a day from go-go-goes). She is always helping me to stop and slow down and just take a minute to give a hug or smile and laugh. If I am lucky I can catch her when she first wakes up in the morning or from a nap and she will let me hold her for just a second. I also love to put her to bed because she makes this certain tired face and will just smile when I put the covers over her. She doesn't like to be tickled before she goes to bed (unlike Sitani) but she will put her head under her covers and just giggle. Sometimes I hear her singing after I have shut the door. It is usually her favorite song "One Love." Her prayers consists of blessing mommy, daddy, mommy, Elijah, Sitani, Daddy, mommy, and daddy. She is soft but she plays with the cars right along with Sitani. She brings me her baby all wrapped up in a blanket and tells me to hold her so she can go to sleep. She always looks for the pink or yellow plate at dinner time and she has a certain liking to her pink hat (we put it on her when her hair is messy). Every now and then when we are all playing on the floor she will look up at me and just cheese from ear to ear. She has the cutest double chin when she does this. Yesterday morning she said, "You can't go to work." Then later on I was procrastinating opening the door to leave to work and she told me, "Just go to work mom." I am so thankful for a little girl/little mother.

P.S. I caught her having a tea party in her room with her dolls. I had to stop and take a shot.

I Wish We Lived Somewhere Warmer

Well, our suppose-to-be-sunny-forecast-Saturday ended up being freezing cold and overcast. We made it a quicky. And then the first thing I notice this morning was the beautiful sun shining through my window. We will have to try this again before you guys leave. This is another beautifully pregnant sister and her two kids, Mark and Jace. They are so fun together. My kids absolutely love these guys. We can't wait for their little girl to get here. I've never seen Laura so domestic with her sewing and scrapbooking (hahaha and yes I said that word).

Snowboarding

We made some cardboard snowboards for a program at school. I had some extras so I brought them home and we painted them. I never knew they would be such a hit.

Tessha

This is one of my many beautiful sisters (I have 5 of them). I wouldn't describe her as cute or pretty. I would describe her as GORGEOUS!!! I always wanted her skin, her perfect nose, her sparkling green eyes and her petite hands. She is just so beautiful to me with her sophisticated style and great taste for beautiful jewelry. She can give the BEST massages and fix up a YUMMY meal as well. Does this sound like an E-harmony add? Hahaha, well I told her that I would find her a husband for Christmas. Thanks for rocking this photo shoot Tessha. You're such a hottie!

Lately

Due to the lack of snow, we made mini snowmen. Marley made sure hers was warm while Sitani created a Transformer one. I went to put gloves on it and he made sure to let me know that Transformers don't wear gloves. I even caught him looking at his Optimus Prime before we left the house to see if it had a nose. I saw him search the toy and then say, "Yup it has a nose like that one."

I over heard Sitani telling Marley that this little green toy wasn't a phone but a cook-a-la-tor. (calculator
and... yes that is Marley drinking her own bath water. (gross)

Our ward party was fun!

Somebody is crawling around these days. Seriously... stop please!

This glove is often seen on Sitani's hand. Apparently "football players wear them, mom."

The Turkey Trot was fun!






Let's get ready for 2010
