Still here

So I guess it has been awhile. We are all up to the usual. Greg loves to draw, and he loves to write. He is always asking, "how do you spell ____?" He is getting pretty good! He's now banned from markers (see picture above for the reason). Abby is starting to play with her babies, and she loves to take them everywhere with her. "Baby wants to come too!" she says to us when we leave. She loves pink, and everything is pink to her. "I'll pretend the swing is pink... I will pretend this cup is pink... etc."

Emily had a blast playing basketball with the relief society. Their team made it to regionals, and lost their second game by only a few points. Maybe next year! Emily was even starting to play somewhat decent.

We gave Greg another hair cut. We call it the summer cut. He had such long hair, and he looks so different now - still as handsome as ever though. When we pulled out the clippers he started freaking out and saying he didn't want his hair to turn gray. Must be because Dad is always cutting his hair with the clippers (not that his hair is that gray). Greg likes to think he looks like Shark Boy because it is spikey!

Daniel just hit his one year mark at work, and we are thrilled!

Greg Snow is Spiderman!

Greg loves this picture! He is always talking about the time he was on the tall building when he was Spider-man. He also wants to know where his webs are.

Getting Ready For Christmas!

We have been listening to Christmas music since before Thanksgiving. This is my favorite time of the year. We decorated our Christmas tree after Greg's party, and that was a lot of fun. This year I let the kids do all of the decorating, so most of the ornaments were from 3 feet high and down. Later as they "fell off" the tree, I have moved them up a little higher for some balance.
As for the Christmas songs playing, Greg just loves Feliz Navidad, and the Carol of the Bells (he calls that one the Halloween song).

Greg has been so excited for snow. He has been asking me to let him make a snowman, so the other day when it was nice and sunny I set him to work. I think he did a pretty good job with a little help from his friend.



Abby made me laugh this morning. She came up to me with a little tower of blocks and said, "I made a present for Santa. Take it to him. He is at the mall"

It was too funny!



Happy Birthday Greg!



I'm Four now!




Greg just loves being four. He is always saying, now that I'm four I can do this. Abby when you are older like me, then you can play with that, etc. It's so funny! You'd think he just turned 18.

He had all of his friends over for his birthday party. The theme was Spiderman (of course), and they played pin the spider on the web, make your own spider sucker, and they even ran a spider obstacle course. They finised the party off with spiderman cake and spider web cupcakes.

We love you Greg!

Happy halloween

Trick Or Treat!




Greg and Abby had a ball this Halloween. They loved their costumes (Greg was wearing his months before). In case you can't tell, Greg was the Black Spiderman, and Abby was the spider that bit Peter Parker.


New Bathroom Floor


Before and after


Before we had some old linoleom flooring that was damaged and ugly! I (Emily) Tiled the floor with some consulting help from my neighbors, and from Lowes - they cut the tile for free! I am pretty proud of my work, it's not perfect, but it still looks great! Oh, and this was done in August, I just haven't posted in awhile.

2nd date

This was taken on our second date dance. I just love it! Daniel suprised me in his top hat! He's so fun that way!
