Merry Christmas

Showing off the Christmas PJ's. I thought this was the cutest smile of Dallin's. He loves Dinosaurs, so though it's not very festive, he loves them.Kenna showing off her Christmas PJ-also with a huge cheesy smile.Christmas Morning, before Dallin and Kenna discovered it. If you look on the couch, you can see my latest project. The 3 stockings are ones that I made. They are felt and they come in a packet, but every little detail is hand stiched on. Let's just say that I am glad that they are done and I won't have to make another for awhile.Dallin playing with his trains on Christmas morning. That's another big thing that he is into lately..trains. He loves them and will play with this simple wooden train for hours. What a cute boy. These are just some cute ones that I took of Kenna. I usually put her hair in a pony because it stays in better and she can't pull it out as well, but I think she looks really cute in these and you can see her little curls so well. What a beautiful girl.

Kenna's new trick

This is something that Kenna figured out all by herself, what a smart little girl.

First you drag the fire engine over to your intended target and climb up on the the steering wheel.Next, you stop and pose for all of your onlooking fans.
Then, when you reach your goal you stop to smile to look as cute as you possibly can because you know very well that you are not suppose to be there....CHEESE. (she knows it hard to get mad at her when she plays that card)

The Doctors Visit

So, funny story. I took Kenna in for her 15 month check-up. Just FYI-she is 15-20 % for height and 50% for weight. Anyway, earlier that day, Dallin had fallen and landed on his nose. When we were at the Doctors, Kenna had to get her finger pricked and got a Band-aid. The nurse turned to Dallin and asked if he needed one. He said, yes for his nose. The nurse didn't know if she understood correctly, so she gave Dallin the bandaid to place where he wanted it. This is the result. Yeah, he wore it the entire day. Silly boy!

Meeting Mitt Romney

Denny had the opportunity to meet Mitt Romney. It's kind of fun living in Iowa because of all the campaigning that goes on here. Denny wasn't too fond of this picture, but they move you along so quickly these were the only ones that he could get.

Ice Storm


This was a big Ice storm that we had a few weeks ago. I thought it was so pretty. Denny took all of these picture just outside our house, but everywhere you drove looked like it was crystal. I loved it. On the up close pictures you can see there is a coating on ice on everything. How fun

So tired

This was Dallin having a hard time staying awake.
We were coming back home later in the afternoon and both of the fell asleep and would not wake up for anything. We had a little fun with that. They look so innocent.

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY Dallin!

On Dallin's birthday, he was able to invite some of his friends over for a little birthday party. We played a couple of games and had Pizza and ice cream sandwiches.After the party Lexie and Lydia came back over to watch a movie. I think he had a fun day. On Sunday after his birthday, we invited our neighbors over for the official cake and ice cream. Dallin was so excited for everyone to sing to him and blow out his candles. Sometime while he was playing, I would hear him practicing. He would sing Happy Birthday and at the end I would hear him say "Okay Dallin, blow out the candles" and then he would blow. So cute. Denny was in charge of the cake. Dallin has been wanting a doggy birthday since the summer, so this is what Denny came up with.
It's really cute because if you look at the above picture, you can see Denny's blueprints for the cake. This is the final cake before we stuck candles in him. The eyes are carved out whoppers and the nose a chocolate kiss- so creative. Dallin's favorite color is green so we had to incoporate that some home.Dallin's friend Lexie celebrated her birthday with Dallin. They had a lot of fun with that. Blowing out the candles.What a cute boy with the cutest smile. I can't believe he is already three. Where does the time go?
