Funny Video

This is Emma having a great time in Daddy's office after church one night. She is dancing to "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al. It is a little slow at first, but then she gets quite funky and starts crumpin all over the place.

Then she falls off the couch backwards.

She is so funny, and yes-- she is a lot like her mom.

Life At Home

The girls attack daddy when he comes home!!!This is Miley and her lamby. They are inseperable.

Everyday when Miley takes a nap, Emma sits in her bed and has some quiet time and she reads with her Tag Reader. I found Miley in Emma's bed with the Tag Reader. Sisters going down the slide together.

Our January 1 Picnic. It was so hot.

Miley loves Psalty the Singing Songbook. She took the lantern out of our entertainment center and started swinging it. Psalty says, "Hey kids, go get your lanterns." So she did!!!

"Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning burning burning"

Amanda's Shower

Here are some pictures from my friend Amanda's shower. The cake was so good; it had a cream cheese filling.
Amanda and Melissa figuring out the word scramble.

My two little ones helping Bri do her word search. Miley's belly is really good at answering questions.

The games were actually really hard.

It was such a nice night celebrating the new life for little baby Zachary.

Thank You Jesus.

Snow

We wanted to take Emma to see the snow, but when we got up to the Mountains, it was so crowded that we couldn't even get into the parking lot.

So we turned around and went home :(

But then we saw a road, far from the snow, and I told Dustin to turn and we would see where it goes. Turns out it led us straight to snow, in an area that was not crowded.

It was our special secret!!!

Thanks Jesus!

We let the girls sled all by themselves. They went fast too!!!


We had so much fun.

I AM SO SPECIAL

I Just Love These . . .And Tag

I still laugh at this one.

And this is another one that I LOVE

- Tag 7 people at the end of your post & include links to their blogs.
- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Okay . . .

1. I am grossed out by certain things that most people eat. Onions, sour cream, mayonaise are beyond gross to me. Other foods gross me out just because they are so artificial and wrong it is a "sin"-- margarine, artificial sugar, high fructose corn syrup, msg, hydrogenated fats, hormones, and genetically modified foods. This stuff is freaky.

2. I am afraid to use bath and body works body spray or perfume on my skin so if I do use it, which is rarely, I will spray it on my clothes instead of my skin and hold my breath until it dissapates.

3. I have a hard time bringing in all the stuff that winds up inside my car. So I look like a homeless woman driving around with a million jackets and toys on the floor of the backseat.

4. I like to walk long distances, but I am afraid to go by myself.

5. I hate antibacterial soaps and lotions. They scare me. I will only use Dr. Bronner's soaps on my skin and to wash my hands. I almost pulled Emma out of preschool when I saw another teacher using purell on the kids hands before snack. It it terrible for her intestinal flora. Don't use any antibacterial stuff with triclosan!!!

6. If could do anything that I wanted to do. And if I had the talent for it, I would love to write novels. I would want them to be so beautiful and descriptive, perfectly written, succinct, a bit ambiguous and mysterious, addictive, and life changing. I love to read books like this and I wish I could do it. I would prefer to write like Hemingway rather than Faulkner, more like Charlotte Bronte than Jane Austin. That is what I would like to do.

7. If Miley was a boy I would have thumb wrestled Dustin to death in order to name her Owen. I love that name.

I am not going to tag anyone because I can't think of who to tag.

Pumpkins

Last week we went to the Cal Poly Pumpkin patch.

It was the most beautiful pumpkin patch I have ever seen.
The girls got to wander around and taste rocks.
