Today I've been scrubbing the house down.....my way of giving myself permission to go away...like to Disney World!  I  have this great expectation that we should always come home to a clean house....maybe so I'll actually WANT to come home after having so much fun away from home.  


Anyway, you heard right, we are headed to Disney World on Monday for 6 days.  Just us and our 3 cute kids.  This will be our first "official" Family Vacation.  I am SO EXCITED I can't even stand it.  We've never been there before, but have only heard great things.  The kids are super excited as well.  Celestia has been counting down for a while now.  

If you have any suggestions on where to eat, what to see, etc...please post a comment for me!  

I will post all about our adventures when we get back!

Oh yeah, I should probably tell you all..........

I'm "prego" as in "great with child" as in I'm gonna have another baby!

Yup, just thought I'd let you all know I'm Pregnant with #4!  Can you believe it?  Another baby?  

So look forward to next weeks post.  I will hopefully find out what gender this little one is on Monday.  That's right, I'm almost 16 weeks already!  Due around the middle of July.  

I am so good at keeping secrets aren't I?

Happy New Year!

***Blogger is not letting me upload the last few pics...will try again tomorrow...more Christmas Day pics to come***



Well, it's a new year, yeah!  I celebrated in bed...yep...sick in bed all day New Year's Eve and New Years Day. Yuck. At least today I am feeling more myself, but as I write this, David is going to bed early saying he feels like he's going to throw up...oh, how I hope he doesn't really get sick.

Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas. My parent's and Mikhail came out to spend the week with us and of course we had lots of fun. We took the kids to "Pump It Up" an inflatable indoor playground where they had a blast.

Here's Mom getting in on the fun....

Mason with his serious face on.
Jack with big smiles coming down the slide with Uncle Mikhail.
Celestia ready for more...

Christmas Eve the kids did a little Nativity.  Jack and Celestia played Joseph and Mary, and of course Uncle Mikhail played our Donkey.  They had a great time acting it out and we adults had many laughs watching it.  They were just so funny...come on what do you expect from a 2 and 4 year old?  Too cute.  I got it on video for them to cherish in the years to come :)

Awe, look at those two.  All dressed up and no where to go...we took the kids to the movies on Christmas Eve to see Bolt.  

Here is our little Live Nativity!

Awe, Christmas day.  Jack was the first one up.  I heard him running down the hallway at 6:40am and I just knew where he was headed (usually to my room to wake me up), but this time he was off to see what Santa had brought downstairs.  I jumped out of bed and caught him already with the chair pulled over to the light switch and lights on full blast.  He was blinded by the light, thank goodness.  I quickly turned off the light and took him back upstairs to get Celestia so they could all go down together.  

It is so fun to see their excitement on Christmas morning.  It was especially fun having my parents and brother here too to share in the fun.



Jack loved opening presents.




Oh and I have to just add this great picture...my new shoes!!!  If you can't tell by the picture....these are some awesome Hannah Montana crocs David's grandpa bought for Celestia for Christmas...nice, huh?...size 4 in girls (Celestia is barely an 8 in toddlers)...wait a second....I think that's just my size, SCORE!  So check out my new Bling! (that is a cool word to use this days, right?)  I thought you'd all be jealous...

Happy Birthday Mr. Mason

Mason turned 1 last month...I didn't take very many pictures and all of the ones with Celestia and Jack were just too bad to put up...I'm talking RUNNY noses, YUCK! So, just pictures of Mason will make it up this time. At least the runny noses didn't stick around for long...Knock on Wood, right?


So, Happy Birthday little guy...






BYU vs. Air Force Game




David's dad came out for the big game last month, we had a blast going to the tailgate parties and the game.  The kids were troopers and lasted almost the entire game in the cold.  Here are a few pics of us...sorry no action shots of the actual game...I guess I was too busy keeping my kids from kicking the people in front of us, j/k.  

Thank Heaven for Naptime!

I was just thinking, as I folded the pile of clothes on my bed while my kids are sleeping, how grateful I am for naptime....just think...what a miracle it is that my 4 1/2 year old, 2 1/2 year old, and 1 year old all nap at the same time, just about every afternoon.  If that's not a miracle, then I don't know what is!   Ahhh, the joy of sleeping children :)  Better get back to my laundry pile......
