I'm Running out of Toilet Paper...

QUITE LITERALLY......how many times can a nose be wiped/suctioned!?

not on this girl though, she prefers the lick....makes my tummy turn...I keep telling her how disgusting it is...but to no avail...when I'm around it does get wiped.

Ruby's had this funky thing on her elbow for several weeks now...is it ringworm? is it eczema?...doctor asks the same question...so we're treating it for both...what's up with our household.?

We had the coolest experience a couple weeks ago, my Uncle had found a bunch of family names that he'd been searching for, forever. We went as a extended family to the Bountiful Temple to perform endowments and sealings for them. It was awesome to say the least. My grandparents were in the sealing room with us and that will probably be the only time I'll ever experience that. It was soooo spiritual and amazing. All of my siblings(close by) were there and their spouses and alot of my cousins/spouses and all of my Aunts and Uncles on that side. We were all in the sealing room together...afterwards we went out to eat in Bountiful..all of us...it was such a cool experience, I'm so grateful for such a strong/loving family...here are a bunch of pics of most everyone there...wish we'd gotten a pic in front of the Temple...

Sledding is so much fun....we found the perfect size hill for Ruby and her cousin Brooks.... it is right by my house too...they had a blast, as did I.

Ruby could even pull her own sled up the hill, which is a huge deal...

Liam went down with me a couple times, confusion- on if it was thrilling or shocking to him...

making love...out of nothing at all...

Hello 2009!

new years eve fun....a group of us got together to celebrate... I'm not really pregnant...it was a balloon...Charlie's angels?...nah....Liam is officially still NOT walking....16 months and counting...should I be worried, not necessarily about his delayed abilities but more so about his attitude... he couldn't care less it seems...we were thinking this new toy for christmas would help him have a desire? ...um, no
my family had a christmas party on new years day since it was our OFF year, we played games at the church....okay so WHO KNEW I had such an amazing husband when it came to the LIMBO...wow
this wasn't even the lowest setting, he succeeded at one more lower than this...even the nieces and nephews weren't able to do it...seriously the next party I go to -we are playing this game, ya'all need to witness this and plus it's funny to see everyone try.We played this really creative race -guys against girls- and each team had to wrap up one of the kids with 2 rolls of toilet paper and then add the scarf, mittens and hat to look like a snowman...it was hilarious...My mom had sewed these teepee's together over the last month-many hours of labor...they were all hiding behind the acordian doors at the church, so after the games and such they announced that there was a surprise and my dad pulled the doors open to this....it was so great the kids all squealed with delight and went running to pick out the teepee of their choice...what a fun gift, then we all got a bag of books and a lantern/flashlight to enjoy inside...it's always a loud/chaotic night it seems when we all get-together...could this be the reason...? these babes are all under 15 months and that doesn't include the new addition to our family -Sawyer, who couldn't be there because he was still in the hospital...Speaking of babes I was thinking about how much of a reward motherhood is...I am soooo blessed to have 2 healthy wonderful kids...all you mom's out there can agree that they are the cause of your most frustrating, head-pounding, hair-pulling, voice-raising (okay I'll just say it-Yelling...) days; but also the cause of the most joyful, heartswelling, precious moments...there is NOTHING more special to me than the relationship I get to observe between Ruby and Liam-seriously nothing is sweeter...what would I do without one or the other...
