Back, again!

Well it's been a long time once again because I continued to have computer issues, but now all seems to be well again, so time to catch up with a few pictures!

 

As most people have already heard, we are excited (and shocked) to say we are having a BOY!! He is due July 10th, which I feel is sneaking up on me closer and closer! I am so excited, and it will be so different to have a little boy running around, exciting times!

 

This picture is to prove that we still have TONS of snow! I mean, ridiculous amounts that I'm afraid will still be here in July! Although, this week we've been having a heat wave...sunshine and in the 40's, woo hoo!!

 

By the way, I am wearing Chris's snow pants because mine no longer fit around this belly!

 

And this is one from today. The girls wanted to have a tea party with Daddy. It's hard to tell in the picture, but Riley made Daddy a King's crown out of duct tape and a tissue! Daddy wore it with pride, even though he said this is one kingdom where the King has no power!

Gosh, those girls are little clones, huh??? They look just like their Daddy! Maybe the boy will look like me :)

 

As long as my computer keeps going strong I'll keep posting new pictures and updates! Thanks for reading!

Skiing and Snowboarding!

Today we took the girls skiing for the first time. Taylor went on ski's, but Riley and Shelby wanted to try snowboarding. They all did so well, and had a blast! I was impressed!

 

Here's Riley on the snowboard for the first time!

Silly Riley...

 



 

Here's the crew getting ready for our first trip down the mountain!

 

Daddy and Taylor! Daddy was such a good sport, pushing Taylor all over the

snow, while she begged him to go faster! He got quite a work out!

 

 

 

The older gals with their snowboards.

 

And Taylor on her ski's!

 

It was a fun day, but we are all pretty tired, time to hit the hay!

 

 



Sweet Valentines

It's been awhile once again, but we have been pretty sick over here! Taylor is on her second round of Prednizone to help get her asthma under control. We've been getting cold after cold and her little lungs are having a hard time staying clear. We just finished the second round though, and her asthma doctor made some changes to her daily medicines, so hopefully that will help! In the meantime we have been hibernating in our house trying to get well! But, we did have a fun Valentines Day!

 

Here is Riley with some glasses Grammy sent her, which of course, she also had to put on Whiskey.....

 

 

And Daddy....

 

And Mommy...yes that is me, extreme close-up taken by Riley!

 

These were the girls presents they woke up to on Valentines Day. They have been begging for those bright light pillows, so they each got one, a new book, a new lalaloopsy and new socks!

 

And of course, Resse's Peanut Butter Hearts, yum!

 

Here's Riley enjoying her presents! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of Taylor enjoying hers. With the way she was feeling, she wasn't enjoying much of anything yesterday! But, she is doing better today, please keep her in your prayers that they can get this asthma and medications under control, thank you!!

 

 

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

 

 

Disney on Ice

We took the girls to see Disney on Ice this weekend, and they LOVED it! I was actually quite impressed myself, and overall we had a great time!

 

 

Okay Daddy, that's enough pictures, just let me watch the show!

 

We got to our hotel early the night before the show, and the girls and I were SUPER excited to have time to fit in a trip to Target and McDonald's!! It was one of our most exciting days in awhile!! So much fun!



Loose tooth!

Riley has her first loose tooth! It has been quite traumatic as she says it hurts, but mostly I just think she's scared. She won't drink out of anything without a straw, and we had quite the meltdown last night when it was time to brush her teeth! Hopefully this tooth will wiggle it's way out soon. The new tooth is already coming in behind it, so it shouldn't be too long I hope!

 

 

It's hard to tell in the picture, it's the bottom tooth, it's just barely sticking forward in this picture. Exciting times!

 

Ice skating is not our thing!

I like to think of myself as pretty athletic. But, yesterday's trip to the ice skating rink proved otherwise! In my defense, the skates to choose from were VERY old, and I couldn't find my size, so I just went with a big pair of men's skates! I have ice skated before without too much trouble, but this time I could not even walk out onto the ice!

 

It took me about 10 minutes to make it from that little blue shed behind me, to the wall to get into the ice rink. Riley could not make it, so she crawled her way into the rink! Taylor got carried by Daddy to the rink, and managed to stand up the whole time!

 

 

So I made it to the door, but then started sliding backward and could not get in!

 

 

 

Still trying to get in the door!

 

Okay, one foot is in! Riley fell down!

 

Okay, I'm in, but not able to let go of the wall at all...

 

Even when one of my loved ones needed me....

 

 

 

That's enough, we're going to crawl our way back to the shed!

 

 

 

On the way home I decided to take some of my aggression out with my early Valentines Day present from my hubby....my very first pistol!

 

And this last picture does not fit into any of the above stories, except that I found this at the store, and my hubby rolled his eyes at spending $3 on this thing, but Taylor loves to eat her hot dogs out of it! So cute!!!

 

 

That is all for now from the frozen tundra!

Cutie Pies!

 

Silly little girl! She got these sunglesses off of her Build A Bear and proceeded to wear them during prayers and her bedtime story! She cracks me up!

 

 

And here is Riley Roo with her horse Butterscotch, that she got from Grammy and Poppy for Christmas. She loves this horse, well she loves EVERY horse, but this one is actually in her house!

 

 

 

It's so nice to have everyone back on the healthy list once again!
