sweet picture

I love love love this backdrop for the picture! Matt and I are thinking of having our picture taken like this for Valentines day. Mary, if you read this, maybe you could hook us up???

gynastics!

Well, Savannah and I headed out this morning for her first gymnastics class. I left the house armmed with a camera and the cutest little girl dressed in her pink Nike slickey outfit. I was sure to get a great picture of her doing her first cartwheel....no such luck. She would not leave my lap the entire time. She even hated the singing time part! I do have to give her a little slack--she is teething and having a rough time with it. I woke her up early when she wasn't feeling good, then dragged her out in the cold to play on mats with kids she doesn't know. We will try again next week. Hopefully she will be feeling a little better.

Other news...I woke up one morning last week with a big round belly. I swear it happened that fast. Im pretty sure I wasn't showing this soon with Savannah. Oh well! Not quite time to bust out the maternity clothes though, so I am just looking chubby!

Ta-Da!!!!!

Savannah can reach our cd player, and she always starts it herself so she can dance! She just recently learned to say "Ta-da" after her tricks....I love how she runs to the stairs to stand up and say it!!!

Playing in the Snow!

Matt took a work trip to Midway for some recruiting and they invited us wives to come along. It was a lot of fun. We stayed at a resort and went snowmobiling at Strawberry the next day. It was my first time on a snowmobile, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun!!! Savannah had a good time too!

Play time!

I know, I know....I have been having a hard time getting back into blogging. I will try to post more.


Savannah and I had a week where we were bored out of our minds!!! I decided we needed some scheduled things to do....so, we have begun an official playgroup. We have had two now and they were both big hits! I'm surprised the kids got along better than expected. It will be a weekly thing now, so anyone reading this that wants to join and thinks they can put up with 8 or so kids under 3...let me know!
Also....Savannah is having her first gymnastics class this week! We are pretty excited about it! We will let you know how it goes.

Winter Time!

It has been fun having so much snow this year! Here are a few pictures from our yard:




The girls are sad that it is too cold to play outside. I love the look on Ruby's face.


View from the back....we sold one of our horses.


Our cute nieghbor boy came out to help Matt shovel the sidewalk. (This was pre-back injury...I imagine I will be out shoveling next time it snows)

The McRib is Back!

Have you seen those commercials for McDonalds McRib sandwich. They have a huge line coming out of ol' Micky-D's because I guess they are all excited about the McRib's return. Before any of you run to get in line for it, let me just warn you...any Ribs that have a Mc in front of them, you should probally steer clear of. Second, while I'm all about cheap food, any time you only pay $1 for Ribs it is probally for a reason. Just thought I should point that out to any of you incase the pictures alone have not yet turned you off. Don't do it! And if you do, don't tell me about it!
