Thanks Heather for the idea. It was fun reading about everybody. And like Candace I wasn't going to do this list. I didn't think I could come up with 100 things. And the whole time at church I was thinking of "my list". This was fun!

Here is a better picture of Tanner's black eye!!!

Here is a better picture of Tanner's black eye!!!

Carson was sick all day yesterday throwing up! So after the last time he threw up (at 6:30pm) he took at bath and then climbed up in his chair & said he wanted dinner. I was a little scared to give him any food. But he was starving!! This is everything that he asked for: applesauce, apple juice, soup, oatmeal, and chicken & rice. And it is all sitting on the table in front of him. He was acting like he hadn't eaten in days. He only took a few bites of everything & then he was done. He kept it all down & slept really good last night. So hopefully we will have a better day!
Not a very good picture but does this look familiar to anyone??? Tanner fell off his skateboard trying to jump a ramp & fell flat on his forehead! He got a huge bump & now he has started to get black eyes!!! The last two days he has come home from school saying that his head is going boom boom & up and down!

Here are some handsome boys!

The day started with the boys playing on the trailer. Driving the Jeep up and down. They had a blast!!


Yesterday was such a nice day! We were outside for most of the day. I took these pictures of the boys & then Carson wanted to take a picture & this is what he got. (The one of Brian & I) I think he did a pretty good job!


Carson was telling me a story in these pictures. He is so expressive in his face. I just love it!

Crew is smiling so much! I just love it. He will try to get my attention when I am feeding him & then just smile! And look at that drool. His shirt is always wet!

Valentines day at our house

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yesterday was Brian's birthday! The big 3-3!! We had scouts & then came home for some yummy leftovers for dinner. (And he didn't even complain.) Then I did make a chocolate pudding pie. Because not too many people in our house like cake!?
We gave Brian some new T-shirts & tickets to a UNLV basketball game. It was a good day!! Happy Birthday Brian!

What the kids see--part 2

What the kids see!!

Here are some pictures from the boys camera that they got for Christmas. I am not really impressed with the camera & quality. But I guess for a kids camera it will do just fine. It was fun looking at what the boys captured!! I thought I would share!

Chicken Taco Soup

1 box or can (32 oz.) chicken broth
2 cans (15.5 oz each) chili beans
1 can (15 oz) great northern beans
1 can (14.5 oz) Mexican- style stewed tomatoes, diced
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies
2 cans (15.5 oz each) white corn, drained
2 pkg chicken taco spices & seasonings
1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped cilantro
chopped scallions

1. Combine first six ingredients in large slow cooker. Stir in chicken taco seasonings; add chicken.
2. Cover & cook on Low 8-10 hour, until chicken is tender.
3. Remove chicken to platter and shred with fork; return to soup. Serve soup topped with cheese, cilantro, and scallions. Serves 8.


**We had this for dinner tonight. It was very yummy & supper easy to prepare! **

No pictures

Crew's blessing was on Sunday and I have absolutely no pictures to share. That is because I didn't even get my camera out once! What was I thinking. I remembered when I went to bed that night. Oh well what are you going to do right?? It was nice just enjoying the day but you know it still would be nice to have at least one picture of Crew in his outfit. I told myself that I will just have to get him back in his outfit one day this week or even on Sunday to get a cute picture.

Speaking of Crew he is so dang cute. He smiles so much. (The bishop and also Paul told me that he was smiling all through the blessing.) He gets so excited to see us or when we talk to him. He will kick his arms and legs out of control. And talks to us. Sometimes he won't drink his bottle because is wants to just talk & smile at me. He knows when I just walk in the room. At least that is what Brian thinks. I love that he knows me and loves me so much. It is such a cool feeling. I just love this little boy!!!

These boys!

The new thing at our house is that these boys want to take a shower in mom & dad's bathroom! They bring in cars & can play in there forever. The hot water usually runs out. I turned the water off & told them they needed to get out but they stayed in there for 20 more minutes. Carson told me they were "playing cars the movie."

I guess if I need a break I know I can throw them in the shower!
