Busy Month

The girls and Nana at their ballet performance. They both did a great job!

We've had a lot going on this month, but it's all been pretty good. We went up to Utah for a week to visit friends and family, and of course to go skiing and see Conference. Jeremy and I had tickets to the Sunday morning session, which was very good. I loved the Spirit of the Conference Center and knowing that I was in the same room as the Apostles and the Prophet! How awesome is that!
The girls got to go skiing at Sundance and loved it. I'm so glad they enjoy trying new things and being outside! Thanks, Marnie for watching Wyatt! We also had lots of fun with Christian and Emily and Trine and Larry! We miss you guys!
Grandma and Grandpa Wager were wonderful, patient hosts and we are so grateful to have stayed with them. We also enjoyed seeing most of the Wager's that were up there. Too bad some cousins were MIA! :)
Last night, Atalie lost her first tooth! She was so excited about it and even let me pull it out! She was very brave and didn't even cry! I was worried about is going to the dentist today and having him pull it out. I want her to still like the dentist and not be traumatized. She did great! Unfortunately the tooth fairy FORGOT to out money under her pillow! Poor girl!
I've been out in the garden the last week or so building some garden boxes. I really hope to have a successful garden this year, so I've cleared out some dead plants and made room for three good sized boxes. We'll see what happens! Now I just need to fill them with dirt!
I guess that's it for now!

It started snowing these huge flakes the morning we left! The kids loved it!

Cozette's First Buggy Ride




So I finally posted this video! It took forever to upload it to you tube, but I did it!

Daddy's little girls (and boy)!

So, of course I have always wanted my kids to ride dirt bikes. That's actually kind of an understatement. I knew Wyatt was going to ride for sure because as soon as he was able to even make noises, he was making motorcycle noises and pointing them out anywhere and everywhere you might see them. Since just over a year old he knew that when I gave him a ride on a motorcycle, if he twisted the throttle the bike would go. Of course all he knows right now is to hold it wide open! I guess if you race, that's actually a good thing. He obviously, right now anyway, knows no fear! He will hop on any motorcycle with ANYbody! My point is, he likes motorcycles a lot!

The girls on the other hand, I was starting to worry about a little bit. They didn't really have a lot of interest until this trip. If they did hop on a bike, it was only for 5 minutes and then they were done for they day. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at it, we told the girls that we only had one day in the desert to go riding because I wasn't able to get any time off of work. So, if they were going to ride they had to get their riding in that day. The first half of the day they spent in my parents trailer coloring and watching Enchanted. Towards the end of the day, they both wanted to ride and actually rode for almost half of an hour. Then my mom tells me that Cozette wants to drive her buggy and so she's going to go and give her a lesson! I started cracking up! Lo and behold next thing you know Cozette is driving my mom around in the passenger seat and giving other kids a ride! Of course my mind starts to wander thinking about Cozette driving a Class A buggy or Trophy Truck in the Baja 1000 and winning! Now before you think I'm totally off my rocker, not one of you out there with kids can tell me that you never a thought of your kid(s) being someone famous or at least exceeding normalcy because of something that they might have said or done! That being said, here is Cozette's first buggy ride as the driver!
Well, Jerm and I are trying to post the video, but having problems. So we'll try again later!

Token Post

Like the title, this post is pretty much only because I haven't posted in a while. The only exciting news is that I am 10 weeks pregnant! I debated on whether or not to put this on, but there it is. Everything is fine, I'm tired, but no awful morning sickness like some people I know. Thank goodness! I am due on our ten year anniversary September 26, so so much for an exotic trip this year! We'll be in the hospital instead! Anyway, we are all fine. Still trying to get over the never ending head cold that seems to keep hitting me! But I can't complain. Life is great.

Valentine's Day!



Too bad this picture isn't better of all the arrangements in my house!

So Kirsten and I decided this year that we wanted flowers, of course, but that we didn't want our husbands to pay an arm and a leg for them. Instead, we thought we'd offer them to sell and be able to get ours at wholesale! So we did just that. We got about 20 orders, which we were pretty pleased with. Thank you to all of you who supported us. It was fun, but a little stressful, especially that my mom's wilted the next day! Fortunately hers perked up again, but I was so worried that that happened to everyone elses! What a bummer that would have been! Anyway, here are some pictures.




Also on Valentine's, I got into my first car accident! I was on my way to an oral surgery follow up when this man decided to turn left into me! He was very nice and no one got hurt, but our car looks sad. His insurance is paying for everything! I'm so grateful he was honest and took full responsibility.

That night, Jerm went out of town with his dad to go riding in Laughlin. I'm glad he got to go because he enjoys riding with Uncle Scott so much. He doesn't get to do it very often.

Super Underwear Girls!

Cozette and Atalie were being really silly while folding laundry a couple of weeks ago. They wanted me to put this on the blog, so here it is. Super Underwear girls! At least it was clean!

Campaigning for Family Night!

Cute kiddos! The girls were pretty excited to do this! Cozette held that sign (on the back it said Honk for Mitt!) for the whole hour we were there. She even said she counted over 50 honks! She thought that was pretty cool!
Part of the group that was with us. Becky (with the hat on) was the one to organize it! I've never done anything like this before, so it was great. We didn't get that many thumbs down either. Only a few. Although, the guys who mooned us were pretty funny! Becky and I had a good laugh about that one! I fondly thought of my brother, husband and probably brother in laws who would have done the same thing!
Here we are on the corner.

I think there were at least 20 or so of us there. Jeremy unfortunatly was working, but he did drive by and honk in his Verizon van! I hope you all remember to vote today! This is when our votes can really make a difference! Vote for Mitt!
