This was not the result we were looking for...

Lemons don't usually produce instant smiles but then again she is always smiling so I guess we shouldn't be surprised...

Beside I love this little smile and don't mind seeing it more often! :)

My cute Kiddos!

 I have to admit they are the cutest little things in the whole world!  I think however Sam is starting to grow out of the little part...

Birthday Hugs!

 I can't believe that I have a 1 and 5 year old!  It's almost to crazy to even think about!  Either way our little gal decided that her big brother needed a lot of hugs for his birthday.  This is just a glimps of the hugging session.  He's a wonderful, patient and loving big brother to his two younger sisters!  She is so loving and always has hugs for us all!  I'm so glad they are both in our family! 

 The strangle!

 It's hard to believe with how big she is and how much hair she has that she's really just 1 but it's true!  She's only 1 and just got there fairly recently too!

 I think she started getting a little tired at this point and decided to snuggle a bit too... ;)

 He's really such a good sport!

 She knocked him over at this point since she's so huge and she was throwing herself at him. :)

 Definitely getting some snuggles in and found that thumb too!

Oh and hopefully we can get a bit of catchup and posting again around here on this blog! :)

Sam climbing a Pillar

and once again, climbing up things...

He loves to climb!

My kids....

The things they do...

January...

I thought I'd do a blog about January (or atleast the beginning of it) so I can get caught up a bit. I have to admit sitting at the computer for long enough to do a post is not always an exciting idea right now with this huge belly of mine, so for an attempt at a summary...

First of all Sam started Primary! He loved it! Especially his new suit. He's so proud of wearing a suit like Pappi every week to church.

My parents showed up with Jenica to drop her off since it was her first time flying (and I think they wanted to come and make sure all was well and see their long lost grandbabies). Something seemed to find a way into one of their bags. I'm always surprised at the flexibility of that little man.

When they arrived they brought sunshine and warmth enough to melt our huge snowmen, which was a little sad, but also the ice patch we had for a road, which was very nice. I got stuck on it once and we had quite the exciting time

The kids even went out that day to enjoy the fresh air without the need of extra warmth. Of course they both found shoes before wandering out.
Jenica, although jetlagged and very home sick jumped right in and did a great job entertaining the kids.
My dad also had fun reading lots and lots of stories to the kids. He was probably the only one awake enough to do it at that point.

To be continued...

There is really not much else to say about this picture...

What can I say? It is, what it is. We both like ice cream. :)
