Visiting Great Grandma Arnell

Best get these photos posted before I'm up to my elbows in baby! Only 7 more days...crazy!

Okay, so one day while we were still in Utah we drove up north a bit to Bear Lake, Idaho to visit my Dad's mom, our Grandma and the kiddos Great Grandma. We were a little worried about the "perishable" items in her home, but were able to have one of us stand guard at each exit and cage them into one room. We had a great visit with Grandma and the kiddos had a ton of fun playing with her toys!

Hair cuts! (finally!)

I know ya'll were thinking that my boys hair in the previous pics was needing some cuttin'!!
I wasn't going to pay for a crap haircut when my sista would do an amazing job for FREE!!

Thanks Jenn!!

The kiddos had a great time playing with their cousins...here's some pictures to prove it!

Jenn has an unfinished basement and she has some fun toys down there to play on...they spent a ton of time down there!






Heather slept down there at night with Gwen and Oscar


I think they're twins in this photo :) Too cute!

They also spent a lot of time in Jaidyn's room where Jenn had all the toys stored since me and my boys were in Bentley's room.




Eating time was always fun....lots of mouths to feed!


Gwen, Soy, Boo and Jaidy




Mr. Oscy....so stinkin' adorable!

These 2 rode in Jenn's car since Boo wanted to ride with Soy in ours....




Where did their necks go???


Jaidy loved my shoes....


These 2 are trouble! Only 6 weeks apart....

Soy and Boo spent time switching back and forth between the DS and the ipod.....

Off to Utah....

We took a trip to Utah with Jay and Heather and all the kiddos last month. Heather and I wanted to spend some time with our sister, Jenn, who lives in Richmond and we spent our first weekend in Salt Lake with our good friend, Annie, and her twin boys, Jono and Alex.

It took us 14 hours from our house to Salt Lake. The kids did amazingly well until the last hour or so.

They did A LOT of eating...


....and well, Finno, he just about ate the whole way!


Mr. Oscy...who we worried the most about...did the best!! Such a cutie!


More food please, MOM!!!


Every time Jay would toot we would have to roll down the windows and the kids loved it!! Let's just say it happened A.LOT! :)


Soy-boy, at around Multnomah Falls (15 mins. into our trip!), started asking the dreaded question, "How much longer, mom?". We eventually showed him (at a gas station) a map of Oregon, Idaho and Utah and the roads we were traveling on and how we had to travel through 3 states! When we finally got into Utah he did a "happy dance" and was singing, "Oh yeah, we're in Utah! Oh yeah, we're in Utah!".

More to come....

Happy Valentine's Day

We ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast....yum yum!!




Finno always has great morning hair! :)


Cheese!

We celebrated as a family the weekend before, but that night Josh gave me another surprise....


I finally got my car in our garage!

I love not having to get wet putting 2 (soon to be 3!) kids in the car. One Sunday I showed up to church soaking wet and Josh looked at me like "what in the world??"...I gave him the death look and I think he realized it was time to clear out the garage, put the ping pong table away and let the wife be happy! :)
