More fun

Some more pictures from last weekend.



This picture is one that I forgot to post a long time ago, Lexi wanted to give grandma Moyes a kiss for her birthday. This pic is our attempt to give her a kiss. Sorry it is so late!




Josh seems to be offended if we give him baby food anymore so we have moved him on too table food. I hate the mess I would much rather just feed him baby food, but at least you can get a cute picture.

Out of order pictures, just some more from our fun weekend in Idaho.

Easter

Here are some pictures form this last weekend. I have a lot more but I have lost them somewhere on the computer and I want to go to sleep, so I will post more tomorrow. On Saturday we got to go snowmobiling, we had so much fun. The weather was perfect. The girls had so much fun and keep asking when we are going to go again. I was really impressed with how brave they were they kept begging to go up the big hills with dad and grandpa, the pics with the mountain and the little specs on the hill are them riding up to the top. Oh and I thought that to keep people off my back I would post another pic of myself. It is the one with the helmet. Nice, huh.

Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dalleys, these are just some pictures of the kids playing outside in the beautiful weather.

NEVER, ever leave your tough, future BYU football player alone with his princess obsessed, girlie girls sisters.

Almost done

SO the kitchen is almost there. Here are some pics of it now. We still need to put some more base boards down. I am also going to paint the bead board, what color would you do? I am thinking either a moss green or a khaki. Please give suggestions. You can barely see the bead board in the pictures but it is around the island part.

Quote and scripture for the day

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us: It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Proverbs 21:19
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry women.
*Incedently Steve just went camping, hmmmmmmm.

I finally put a lot of post up below, enjoy.

My new BFF and EVER!!!!

So I have mentioned that I have been super busy, now let me explain why. Not that life was not crazy enough I decided to completely renovate our kitchen. My intentions were good because I planned on doing it the week that Steve had off from school. So the weekend before we bought the supplies and I started to take the tile out one by one. Steve then had to go out of town on business so I was not too worried because we would still have two days before he started school again. We were SO wrong, the tile was a beast to get out and the flooring is not as easy to put in as everyone says it is. Then we decided we should paint the cabinets and repaint the walls at the same time. I feel we may have inhaled to much cement. So we have been living in a MESS that I have been trying to get done all by myself because Steve is never home to help. Things were not going very well because for some reason my children feel that I should also be feeding them and taking care of them.
Well yesterday morning Steve finished a test and we ran to Home Depot with every intention of finally getting our kitchen done. Once again we so miscalculated the amount of time and those pesky children, but then(imagine angels singing) our friends and lovely neighbors came to the rescue. Brett and Jason spent all of their Saturday helping us figure out the darn floor, and if that wasn't enough to bring a tear to my eye my other neighbor took my baby and Brett's lovely wife(who I consider a friend but unfortunately I am nothing but a member of her ward to her!:)) Amanda took Lexi and THEN fed us that night. By the way how much sugar did Lexi have she threw up all night, I am not complaining though.
Seriously thank you so much to the men for spending their free day and helping us out and thanks to the wives for sacrificing your husbands. We owe you so big. The kitchen is almost done and as soon as we get everything in we will pot pics.

*oh and the whole thing about being a ward member of Amanda's is just a little inside joke and me just teasing her.

Another post

I have been having the worst time keeping my eye on Josh lately. I set him down to do something and then next thing I know there are horrible screams and he has a huge bump somewhere. In one day he got a steak knife(I have no clue how, we are now interrogating Lexi), fell down the stairs, burnt his hand, pulled the VCR on top of him, and knocked over all the garbage's in the bathroom and ate whatever he found in them. I called Steve one day at work(which at that time unbeknowst to me Josh was conveniently chewing the toilet plunger) and told him that we needed to get some cage of some sort because I was afraid to even fold laundry with out something horrible happening. So this was Steve's answer, a little box! Doesn't he look so cute. Put your phones down and stop calling child services, it was for fun and we only made him spend one night in there.









































Josh now pulls himself up on to everything.
