happy 2011!

so excited for what this year has to bring!

thrilled about a new little one joining our family this summer (also scared out of my mind!)

happy that kason has steady work (although the work will take him out of town. blech)

excited to watch griffin and nolan grow and learn new things

so ready to hear a little heartbeat and watch my belly grow (it's already growing let me tell ya. the third will do that to you!)

my resolutions are...

-to be a better wife and mom.
-to spend quality time with my boy's because before i know it, life will be really busy. eeek!
-to watch what i eat more with this pregnancy and not let these 9 months be a total free for all. ha.
-to make sure that i keep up a simple cardio routine. nothing crazy.
-to attend the temple more.
-to polish up my spiritual side.
-to just be a better, more positive, happy, content person!

hope everyone had a merry christmas and a happy new year!

welcome, 2011!

Christmas 2010

We had such a great Christmas this year. Griff is old enough to really understand what was going on. Last year, he was still a little baffled by the whole thing!

Griff got a bike which is what he asked Santa for. Nolan got some balls and a little toy 4-wheeler. They also both got camping chairs for the many camping trips we have planned.


We had so much fun spending time with family. It really was a perfect Christmas!


Fun little side note....

{Kira, Nate and the girls came to town and it was so fun to see the 4 little grand kids together. Griff and Addie are about 3 months apart and Livi and Nolan are 1 month apart, so both are pretty close. The day Kira and Nate got here they announced that they were expecting. I wasn't there but Kason was and he about died when they shared the news (we hadn't announced yet). No one had a clue that either of us was expecting and we didn't know they were and vice versa. So, when they announced Kason realized that our due date's are exactly the same! He even called me from his parents house right after they announced and said, we are due on the 30th, right? Craziness. They announced one day and we couldn't stand it and had to announce the next day. It was hilarious when we said what our due date was! Two more grand kids for the Pead's! We are so excited!}

merry merry christmas!

hope everyone has a merry christmas and a very happy new year.

counting down the day's because we absolutely cannot wait!

this picture is of us trying to be matchy-matchy, cute and christmas-y!

griffin and nolan's faces say it all.....

love this season

my heart feels so full and i feel super blessed lately.

the cool weather and the warm, comfy clothes make me so so happy.

i am loving my little boy's so much these days.

believe me, we have our moments and we have our days but like i always say....i will wish these hard, crazy times back one day.

i can't imagine my house not being a disaster and not hearing noisy kids bustling about.

i love things just the way they are.

what is it about the holidays that make you feel so blessed and make your heart feel so full?

i am thoroughly enjoying it.

haven't stressed about christmas once. just so ready for it to get here!

crazy excited.

keeping it really low key. the boy's are only getting a couple of things from us.

i am not bothering with christmas cards or neighbor gifts this year.

like i said, keeping it low key and stress free!

just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the holidays.

these day's

not gonna lie. this is one of my favorite times of the day. mealtime! i get to have a teeny tiny moment to myself cuz these kids take forever to eat.

look at these "angelic" faces!


zero nap for no no today so it's been a long one to say the least. but a fun one! we spent the entire day outside playing like crazy and walking all over the neighborhood. short sleeve shirt on to boot, it was warm and sun shiny.

and presenting! one small piece of furniture that got done while my ma was here. the color is a little wild, not exactly what i was thinking but it's growing on me!

don't mind the comb on the couch...my stuff gets strewn from one end of the house to the other by these little boy's. they literally destroy and disorganize my house daily.
