Let it snow!!!

Now that Lauren's birthday, my birthday, and Christmas is over ( I will be posting pictures of our big day soon) I finally had a break and was able to go out in the snow with my hubby and girls! We have had SOOOO much snow lately. I think that we had about 2 feet in the last week and a half! My girls love to go out and play in it, and I love watching them through the windows of my warm house. Today it was finally warm enough for me to venture outside. We had so much fun!!! Because we live in a cul-de-sac (sp?) the big plows come in and gather up all the snow and pile it out in the middle of the cul-de-sac. It makes a huge mountain that is as tall as the houses, and the neighborhood kids get their sleds and go sledding, and build forts in the smaller snow banks. It keeps the kids entertained for hours....This is the first year that Lauren joined the big kids in the fun! So here is proof that snow can be fun!

By the way! I have to give a HUGE thank you to Kimberly Smith for making these awesome frames that I use!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Lauren!!!

I know...I khow... something important must have happened in my life for me to sit down again and actually blog something. But it is true... something wonderful has happened in our little family... Our little preemie Lauren celebrated her 3rd birthday yesterday. We were so lucky to be able to go to Salt Lake City and visit with friends and family for it. All day on her birthday she got to play with her cousins and her Aunt Kristen. We had so much fun putting together her small little party. The only 2 things that were requested by her are to 1) have a rainbow cake and 2) to get a baby doll for her birthday. Well, thanks to Aunt Kristen helping me with the cake and Gramma Dinsmoor supplying the baby doll, she had the perfect day. She was so funny. She had the same look on her face with every present she opened up... isn't it adorable? The other funny part of her birthday is when she opened up her gift from Gramzy which was Cinderella bubble bath... she wanted to stop right then and there to take a bath. She said she would get to the rest of her gifts later... so without further adou.... here she is the birthday girl herself...



HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN! YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY AND I LOVE YOU!!!
