Day 24

 This pretty much sums up our last two weeks here at our house. This was Eliza's doing. Poor girl tried to make it to the bathroom in time to throw up. Didn't quite get the toilet opened, darn it! Nothing like cleaning up puke when you're already throwing up.

Day 23

 Trey feeling the effects of the flu. So many afternoon naps here lately. 

Day 22

 Just a typical afternoon at our house. Dressing up and doing a concert. Jason gets worried when Trey does this, but he's just following his sisters. I think it's fine and super cute!

Day 21

 Jersey Day at school

Day 20

 Trying to keep them occupied with crafts while I sleep this sickness off. Their new found love - the glue gun.

Day 19

 Eliza and Lanie LOVE the game of Life. Trey obviously wants in on the fun too. Found him "playing" it one afternoon.

Day 18

 We've all been feeling very under the weather lately here at our house. One afternoon I put Tori in the tub and ran downstairs to grab something. When I came back up this is how I found her. She was dead asleep. She kept doing the head bob and I couldn't help but laugh. She just wasn't feeling well and couldn't stay awake any longer, even in the tub.

Day 17

 Trey helping Uncle Alex to shovel the driveway.

Day 16

Acting out King Noah and Abinadi for Family Home Evening.

2013

Day 14

 Best January ever! Can't remember when January has been so warm! +7 other day!

Day 13

Happy Birthday to me. 28 years old! Wow. We went for a nice dinner at Milestones, then hit up Mcdonalds for my "birthday cake". Yes, a cheeseburger is better than dessert.

Day 4

Lanie's gymnastic cake.

Day 3

Lanie's 6th Birthday. Can't believe that she's already that old! We love our Lanie so much! She has finally got out of her REALLY REALLY hard stage! Tantrums have almost stopped, her getting into EVERYTHING has slowed and she knows how to help herself a lot of the time. She's definately given us a run for our money since she entered our family, but we couldn't imagine life without her. She's the best cuddler, helper, happiest, sweetest, most fun girl ever. We love her so much!

Trey so excited to throw his snow ball at me

Day 1

Starting the New Year Right with scripture reading. 

2012 Wrap Up

You may be wondering where the rest of the pictures are from 2012? I'm a few short. It's hard for me to accept that I have to end the year without posting right up to day 366. I'm trying to let my OCDness go, and be ok with the fact that I don't have quite enough. I guess I'll have to be a bit more diligent in 2013, but for now we will end on Day 352 and be ok with it. Here's to a great 2013!
