Cute Story...

I just wanted to pop in to tell you a cute little story that happen with Isaac at church today.  They combined our ward with 75% of another ward a while back, so unless you get to Church half an hour early, you don't get a seat.  Like that is going to happen with 3 small boys!!  So we were sitting in the lobby trying SOOO hard to get the kids sit quietly during Sacrament, in the hopes that not only we would get something out of the talks, but that something would sink in for the kids as well...  Well I don't know how much they understood, but Isaac for sure heard something!  The speaker was talking about the Holy Ghost and Isaac blurts out, "THE HOLY GHOST!!?!  We met him at Disneyland!!!"  It was the funniest thing ever!  I tried so hard not to laugh!  Ben and I just looked at each other and tried to be grown up, but seriously, it was hard!  He just seemed so proud to know about something they were saying!  Too cute!

The Haircut

We finally decided it was time to cut some of Noah's gorgeous locks. :( I hated to see them go, but, sadly, it was time. The thing that finally convinced me was the fact that we could put his hair in a pony tail. What? Yes, it's true. Look.

Ok, does this one not look like he's a little

Sumo ready to strike!?! Hehehe!!

So after the impromptu photos on the front lawn, we brought little Noah in for the cut. We started The Bee Movie, of course - he doesn't move a muscle if it's on, and started the cut! Here is one last "before" shot of those amazing curls... Bye, bye, my lovelies.

And on to the chopping. May we have a moment of silence in memoriam? Thank you.

Did you notice that my arm was in direct conflict
to Noah's view of his bees? Note the head lean...

He didn't move while I cut. In fact if I asked him to sit up
or move forward, he just did it! He didn't ever complain!
Little trooper!

Here is the final result... Drum roll please......

Ta da!! What a cutie!!

Genetics, man!

Have you ever seen Stupid Human Tricks on David Letterman? That's what I felt like we were doing with Noah the other day. Everyone in the fam can roll their tongues, so we were trying to find out if Noah got that gene or not. We all showed him our stupid human trick, and he eventually did it!! I couldn't believe our sweet little 16 month old could do it! I was such a proud mama!

The Bee Movie

Have you seen it? If you haven't, you should! We love it around here. I think Ben and I laugh harder than the boys!! This is a pic of the boys watching it... Notice that NONE of them are running around screaming? Not even Noah. In fact, Noah will just sit and watch it start to finish without even blinking! And if you get in his way, he'll just lean one way or another until he can see those bees again! :) It's too cute!

First Signs of Spring

We were finally able to spend a little time outside a while ago! The winter seemed to be over (although 2 days ago we woke up to SNOW!!! AH!) so we let the kids run around in the back for a while. They had a blast!

Yes, Matthew is feeding Noah lunch.
How cute is that!?

Ah, what a good big brother!

Long, Long Ago...

We went to Disneyland for Matthew's 3rd birthday, way back in 2004.  Have I done anything with the pictures yet?  Umm.....  No.  Until now!  Britt just came out with a new "Disneyesque" kit that is amazing, so I dug out some of these old pictures to work with...  I'm not done yet, it's going to be a 2 page layout, but I thought I'd post it now to show off her fantabulous new kit! :)

You can check out the kit here...

The Canyon

The boys and I decided to take a drive up the canyon last month to see whether or not the waterfall was frozen. It's had been SOOO cold that of course it was. It was beautiful! And because Ben was working and wasn't going to be home for an hour or so, we kept going up the canyon to check out Deer Creek. I have never seen it completely frozen and covered with snow before. It was stunning! The sun was shining perfectly and I couldn't help but stop to take a picture.

Bridal Veil Falls - Icy, eh?!

If you didn't know this was a lake, wouldn't you think it was
a great big field of snow!? I'm so glad we drove up to see it!

And yes, that is a wild moose. It was trying to reach food
on the other side of the fence. Matthew and I were pretty
excited to see it. First wild moose I've ever seen! :)

On the way home we stopped by Sundance and
found this buried stop sign. Wow!

This is my favorite photo... Ahhh.
