Our last play date with Gabby and Carter before they moved- we miss you!
Happy Birthday Adam!
Last year requests were: Red Lobster and dancing
This year requests: Tomaso's and Salsa Dancing-very fun and very funny.

Gross- but this picture best describes Delilah right now- IN TO EVERYTHING!

Nixie was playing her "sad song" for Adam. Adam had finished telling Nixie about Joseph and Hyrum Smith in the picture on the piano. He explained that they were both dead and in heaven. Nixie then broke out in song that went a little something like this- "I'm sad those guys are deaaaaad... I'm sad this light is too bright in my eyeeeeees.... I'm sad to take a baaaaath" you get the picture.

2010-03-28T08:49:00.000-07:00

Delilah wants to be just like Nixie- always!

Football, Halloween, and my sweetest 11 month old ( it's hard to get to a computer these days- we have limited access)

2009-11-07T19:47:00.000-08:00

Malloy with his flag football teammate Phillip. Go Jets!

I had to put this picture in because Malloy is such a lover boy and just check him out checking out his buddy Brittlee.

2009-11-07T19:40:00.000-08:00

My Dad bought me this dress in Korea when I was 3 years old and I have been saving this favorite costume so a cute little 3 year old princess could enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks Amber for having such a fun Hallo party!

Cover it.

2009-11-07T19:34:00.000-08:00

Roller Derby teammates- I feel like every Halloween I have to black out a tooth. Why is it so funny to me?
Adam was so scary and I laughed all night at him.

Crazy hair day for Malloy. He was not sure about the bird nest we created, but he did like the bird in his hair. I could see him on the Kindergarten playground very seriously telling his friends not to touch the bird because it was real and it might come out. Wow!

My Christmas wish is for Delilah to stop growing.

Nixie and cousin Jaden

2009-07-05T21:45:00.000-07:00

This really was the best family beach picture- kinda depressing.

I giggle every time I see this picture.

Some of the cousins.

My husband so badly wants to move back to California. I guess so he can do this on the beach. Slowly I saw him go from a wearing a towel around the shoulders to becoming completely covered. He's also holding Delilah. Smile and shake my head every time.

2009-07-05T21:37:00.000-07:00

Nixie's 3rd B-day!

Thank you Cherisse for making the cutest beach cake! Nixie was in love!

Need some extra cash?

2009-06-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

WHY NOT TRY BEING A.........

LIMO DRIVER!

This is Adam's new weekend job for the summer until school starts. I wish he had the little hat.

2009-06-14T10:13:00.000-07:00

Malloy and Adam went camping for the first time ever.
Malloy loved it and kept talking about a new friend he met who had polka dots? Adam later explained that it was a little boy with freckles.

Malloy's preschool graduation- cutest class!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY- 7 YEARS!!!!!

2009-05-18T22:26:00.000-07:00

A few things I love about this man I've been married to for seven years....

2009-05-18T22:22:00.000-07:00

I love that he is so funny and witty. He makes me laugh on a daily basis (pardon the g's).
I love that he goes on adventures with me... even if they make him a little nervous.

2009-05-18T22:19:00.000-07:00

I love that he is the cutest Dad to these two crazy kids....
and this sweet little peanut!

2009-05-18T22:18:00.000-07:00

Happy Anniversary Adam- I love you!

Happpy 5th Birthday Malloy!!!

2009-05-10T21:20:00.000-07:00

Malloy was very excited to turn 5!
His hair is a mixture of a Jonas brother and Zac Efron , we don't know what to do with it and yes we do watch the Disney channel.

I love this sweetie pie!

2009-05-10T21:09:00.000-07:00

Malloy's Indiana Jones b-day which consisted of treasure hunts, swinging across the snake pit, a cardboard tunnel and fort, a mummy wrap (with toiliet paper), and candy galore.
We love this boy's imagination- sorry pics are a little out of order.

Here is half of the tunnel fort- the other half was ruined.

We love Malloy's crazy and silly side as displayed in the picture above.

2009-05-10T20:57:00.000-07:00

Malloy loves anything scary and gruesome. This was his shark stage.
He loves sports, snowboarding, and tackling his Dad

Animal LOVER!

Lover Boy- he loves the ladies, and I am so sweaty for teenage years.

2009-05-10T20:55:00.000-07:00

Just plain ADORABLE!

Birthday Blues

2009-05-10T20:45:00.000-07:00

Awwwww- don't worry Nixie, your birthday is just around the corner in June.

5 months old- hooray!!!

2009-05-01T10:33:00.000-07:00

I've been writing down the fun things Malloy and Nixie have said to Delilah since she's been born.......

Malloy

1)I will hold her forever

2)She is so agorbalish (he let me know that agorbalish is gorgeous and adorable mixed together)

3) Mom, just LOOK at her- look at her right now she is so cute!

4)I think I'm big enough to beat her up...but I won't.

5) I'm going to take care of Delilah and babysit her, you go make a sandwhich.

Nixie

1) I wuv you Lila

2) You have 5 minutes *said when others are holding her

3) Let's match Lila

4)MY SISITA!! *said whenever she see's her

Spring Break Medley (and a record 16 pics posted- too much)

2009-03-19T09:53:00.000-07:00

Spring break started off with Emily and Steven's wedding
Jaden and Nixie in their cute dresses- Nixie is the immodest one.

2009-03-19T09:36:00.000-07:00

Someone please give me an energy drink
How cute are these kids at this fun farm? How fun was their experience? Please look below.

This might look like an ordinary pic of a cow, but look at the white cows rump- the black form you see is a baby calf being born. We were on a hay ride when the farmer stopped the hayride because this cow was giving birth. He was very excited... the 2o children aboard were not quite as euphoric. There was alot of silence and Malloy looked at me and said, "I feel sick". He then spent the rest of the hayride laying on my lap- eyes closed, most likely trying to erase the image. My nephew also commented later, " we saw a cow have a baby from his butt." WOW- what a day at the farm.

Sleep over with cousins McKay, Jaden, and Roxcy- love the clubhouse.

2009-03-19T09:30:00.000-07:00

Don't forget about me- I'm 31/2 months old!

Last but not least.... ADAM'S LOBSTER DINNER!

Here he is showing off the "Lobster lover's dream" meal he chose.

Here it is in all it's glory- Adam's dream come true.

BIRTHDAY DEPRESSION-PLEASE HELP!!!

2009-03-07T12:12:00.000-08:00

Why did I ask? Why did I ASK? I have been married for 6 almost 7 years and every year for Adam's birthday I plan some surprise date. This year however, I asked what he wanted to do. The answer was "I would like to go to Red Lobster". I would rather be attacked by a lobster, so after several seconds of silence I suggested maybe another nice restaurant that sells lobster. His response was "It's not your birthday." This isn't all. He then let me know he would like to go dancing. Yea! I suggested, line dancing, ballroom dancing lessons, swing lessons, all things I would like to do on my own birthday. Adam once again shut me down and told me he wanted to dance to the kind of music we just happened to be listening to at that moment which was -and I quote "the rap you grew up with" station. I laughed and said jokingly, "a club?" He shook his head no and said a church dance. When I complained he said once again with a smile, "it's not your birthday". Please what can I do about this? I do not care if my husband sees this post- I know he will even though he pretends he never reads blogs.

I love bridal showers!

2009-03-03T13:21:00.000-08:00

My cute neice Emily is getting married! I can't handle it. Though she is only 6 years younger, I still can't believe she is getting married. Em, we love you and can't wait to see you in all your bridal glory in two weeks! Look how cute she is and look at those little pink cakes that I want to eat right now!

Engaged

2009-03-03T12:55:00.000-08:00

Those who are reading, please think back to the bridal shower/ engagement days. I hope you laugh as hard as I do when I think about that time. First of all, anyone who gave or recommended a book about marriage, I secretly felt sorry for because I thought to myself- Oh, we don't need those kind of books because we are more in love than you. Also, anything my husband did, or said I thought was "so cute". I wanted to talk about him night and day and we could not leave each other in the evenings. We would hug, hold hands,be so sad to separate. Oh I am laughing right now. I love my husband but I would gladly read a good book on marriage. He is pretty cute but a lot of things he says are not so cute and lastly, in the evenings I try to get to bed as early as possible so he can give Delilah her late night feeding! I'm embarresed when I think about some of the things we said and did during the dating days- The Bachelor times twelve! I love you Adam and we have lot's of funny stories to laugh about when you get home!

2009-03-03T12:50:00.000-08:00

Why the Easter bunny ears you wonder? What is a shower without some fun dress up- we had to embarrass our niece a little since this was a kitchen and bath shower. She just giggled at our inappropriate gifts and continued to open presents.

I love these kind of embarrassing moments

2009-02-22T20:16:00.000-08:00

I have to record this funny little incident for our family journal. Sorry to all my close friends and family who have already heard this story. While at California Adventures our fam went to Turtle Talk with Crush, and sat back ready to be entertained. To our surprise, Crush picked Malloy out of the crowd to be interviewed first. After answering a few simple questions, with prompts from his mother, Crush asked Malloy who had brought him here. At this point, Juliette decided to let Malloy answer himself, and he came up with this little beauty, "Heavenly Father." He said it so clear and so sweet, and as the audience sat in awkward silence, all Crush could do was nod his head furiously, repeating,"O.K., O.K., cool, cool!" If he had said God, there might have been a few chuckles- but the words Heavenly and Father probably made plenty of people nervous. I'm sure people thought we were religious fanatics or possibly members of a cult. In the end it was kind of a proud moment for us, even though Juliette's face was red and she did whisper in his ear "Mom and Dad" right after he said Heavenly Father. I guess he does listen at church.

Ohhhhh Disneyland- we miss you!

2009-02-15T09:36:00.000-08:00

Star struck!

Highlight of the trip! Watching Malloy live out his dream- fighting Darth Vador! I was slobbering like a hound dog- my smile was so huge, I couldn't handle how excited I was for this boy.

Look at that little Jedi!

Delilah's Blessing

2009-02-15T09:28:00.000-08:00

I love blessing day! I love dressing my babe in all white, I love hearing my husband's heartfelt voice while giving a beautiful blessing, and I love all the family that came up to Flagstaff to be a part of this special day.

Since having 3!

2009-01-18T13:59:00.001-08:00

The first 3 weeks after having Delilah, Nixie was way more mischievous-mostly because she knew I wouldn't move, Malloy played video games...let's just say a lot, and I was busy googling over my newborn and wishing I could high tail it to a cabin in the mountains so I could be alone with her and not worry about every cough and sneeze Malloy and Nixie directed her way. Now that Delilah is almost 6 weeks old, I'm a little less paranoid and enjoying my 3 pumpkins. They crack me up every day and we love watching Delilah become more attentive and smiley. Please enjoy the pictures below of- one video game lover, one sneaky girl, and one dang cute newborn.

2009-01-18T13:56:00.000-08:00

The 30 minute rule a day for video games has gone out the window since the birth of Delilah and as you can see Malloy is pretty excited-live it up buddy it's coming back soon.

2009-01-18T13:50:00.000-08:00

hmmmm....

2009-01-18T13:46:00.000-08:00

2009-01-18T13:40:00.000-08:00

Adam couldn't help himself- he dressed Delilah and had to take a picture of her on the Southwest blanket.

2009-01-18T13:35:00.000-08:00

We love you Delilah and your cute little smiles, cooing sounds and bobbly head- I could eat you up!!!

I love prayer time!

2009-01-14T19:18:00.000-08:00

Malloy's prayer: Please bless I will have a magical wand , please bless Santa Clause, please bless Spider man and please bless my mom to have a bed right next to mine- Amen.

Nixie's prayer consisted of echoing Adam until Adam went a little too long- she then sighed very heavily, threw her hands in the air and stated, "I'm mad wight now!" Adam tried again, but was cut short by Nixie starring him down and saying louder I"M MAD WIGHT NOW!" Adam was done.

Introducing.... Delilah June Hess

2008-12-04T21:56:00.000-08:00

Weight: 7 pounds

Length: 19 inches

Born: December 1st

2008-12-04T21:54:00.000-08:00

This is Nixie's first time seeing her new sister- I love the expression.

A few family pics and one soapy daughter

2008-11-17T06:46:00.000-08:00

We had our family pictures taken in September and now that we have some of them back, I can't help but wonder why I was determined to get them done so far into my pregnancy, especially since we will need to take them again once the baby comes. My main motivation was to get some updated pics of the kids. This picture is one of my favorites.

2008-11-17T06:45:00.000-08:00

2008-11-17T06:40:00.000-08:00

Despite the fact that I'm a little fuller in the face, I'm glad we have a picture of just Adam and myself. I feel like after you have kids people don't think about making sure there are some professional pictures of just themselves as a couple. I love when I come across a picture of my parents together, I always think about how cute they are. Hopefully in 20 years my kid's will feel the same way about this picture.

Please read on to find out why our family has to do this..

2008-11-17T06:37:00.000-08:00

2008-11-17T06:32:00.000-08:00

This has been our daughter's favorite pastime this month. She likes to quietly and quickly sneak into the bathroom and pump as much soap as possible into her little hand, and slap it on the top of her head and face. She has burned her eyes multiple times but does NOT learn her lesson. This incident was one of the more mild ones.

Halloween Pumpkins!!!

2008-11-04T20:26:00.000-08:00

I loved this picture that I actually stole off of another mom's blog, but it was so dang cute. This little preschool class is so much fun, I love teaching them 3 days a week. Gotta love the glasses and happy faces!

2008-11-04T20:21:00.000-08:00

Spending Halloween with cousins. Malloy was the Big Bad Wolf and Nixie was Little Red Riding Hood, although I wish we could have had her cutest little hood on, it was my favorite part of the costume- thanks Cherisse! Malloy would wear his wolf mask for about 2 seconds.

2008-11-04T20:15:00.000-08:00

Isn't everyone so cute? Oh, except that dwarf sized, scary warewolf- why does my son obsess over anything gruesome.

2008-11-04T20:00:00.000-08:00

Adam and I sitting on the couch of shame since we were just kicked out of "the band" at the Halloween party. They had Rock band all set up, Adam was excited to try and about 20 seconds in to our song the game was over and the "Rock band crowd" was booing us off the stage. On a high note, I get a picture of myself 9 months pregnant- YES! Costume explanation: I am a 1950's house wife pregnant with the milkman's baby, thus the milk mustache and smeared kisses on my milkman's cheek. A guy at the party came up to Adam and told him that his friends Dad was an actual milkman back in the day and would get calls from random people claiming that he was their father! I guess their is a little truth to the saying.

2008-11-04T19:52:00.000-08:00

Malloy and Nixie with their cousin Carson and friends at Mother Nature's Farm.

HAPPY 24TH LITTE SISTA!!!!

2008-08-16T13:25:00.000-07:00

Cherisse Elizabeth Tipton was born on August 15th (sorry I'm late)1984- and from the moment I saw her I knew we would be best friends. I wasn't quite two but my obsession was absolute! I informed everyone that she was my baby and I truly believed it. Cherisse has always been very honest, adorable, easy going, the best baker, and the best friend a sister could ask for. Now I have to add, the cutest mom as well. Happy B-day Cherisse, I wish I could be there to celebrate with you!

2008-08-16T13:19:00.000-07:00

This picture is the best! You are -as usual the cutie pie of the girls. Yikes to me and my hair do and yikes to Tiffany's bangs.

2008-08-16T13:17:00.000-07:00

Who needs birthday presents when you can squish in to a box with me! Should we try that again?

2008-08-16T13:15:00.000-07:00

Thanks for always being my best pretend partner, even if you didn't want to.

2008-08-16T13:13:00.000-07:00

Cherisse could never make an ugly face, she is a for sure a natural beauty with the best smile!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

2008-08-16T13:10:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday to my cutest, funniest, most honest, and creative little sister! Thanks for being a good example to me in so many ways and loving me no matter what! You are the best!

21 weeks down- 19 to go! Yee haw!

2008-07-22T21:28:00.000-07:00

Do I love being pregnant? H#%@ no! Do I love that I am at the point in my pregnancy where I never have to suck in? You better believe it! I'm done being sick and ready for the growing belly to overwhelm all I meet. We are not finding out- sorry! I hate people who do it, but since I have a boy and a girl, I think it would be exciting one time and one time only. There are so many grand kids on both sides, I have to do somehting to make more family members a little involved!

California vacation unplugged!!!!!

2008-07-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

I did tell these cute kids that there was a booger in my nose so they would look at me and the camera- no smiles but at least you can see their searching faces.
It was so fun to have Rach and Myles visit!

Random picture but the day this picture was taken I kept hearing a quiet " BZZZ ARGHHH, Bzzz, ARGHHHH" and what did I find? None other than a bumble bee pirate- he was trying to sting me and make me walk the plank at the same time- pure entertainment.

Cute brothers and bros- in- law- minus Jonathan
Cute sisters-in-law and sisters

2008-06-03T08:59:00.001-07:00

We are working on how to smile normally- don't worry. This was taken at my Mom's house last week while we visited for a little while. It was heaven to swim and be with family.

2008-06-03T08:56:00.000-07:00

Nixie's cousin Jaden had a dance recital, so my sister put her hair in sponge curlers, then suprised me by putting Nixie's hair in curlers! I loved it and wish she could be on the stage with her cousin.

2008-06-03T08:54:00.000-07:00

Not the best picture on a lazy sunday afternoon, but just so my kids know that I am part of the family once this blog is a journal/book.

Cousins

I miss, miss, miss these faces every day!

Swimming at Mimi's

2008-06-03T08:45:00.001-07:00

Adam is a returned missionary with a farmers tan, and yes, he is stoked about his bicep- oh brother.

2008-06-03T08:39:00.000-07:00

Sunbathing on Mimi's pool deck

Thank you Adam

2008-06-03T08:27:00.000-07:00

The whole time I was in Mesa, I searched high and low for our camera, so sad that my trip wasn't being documented. Adam was on a 3 day hike with my brothers and in laws- he did take the camera, and this is what he came home with. I'm glas his trip was documented.

I'm PREGNANT! Let the smorgasbord begin!

2008-05-06T14:28:00.000-07:00

Yea! I'm so excited for a new little baby to join the fam and especially the 50 pounds I will be gaining very soon- isn't it wonderful!

Team T-Rex!!!!!!

2008-04-17T10:08:00.000-07:00

Wednesday was Malloy's first t-ball game, and Adam's dream come true! I'm sure every Dad is excited when their son or daughter finally reach the t-ball age. His game was so entertaining and I loved every minute of it. Adam is the coach, and despite his desperate attempts to name the team the Trojans, Dodgers or Lakers, the team voted and T-Rex won. Sorry babe- we live in Arizona.

2008-04-17T10:02:00.000-07:00

It was freeeeeeezing outside, my toes were numb and Malloy is crying in this picture. He's crying because he is cold, I think Adam is crying as well. When we got in the car the only thing Adam said about his son's first t-ball game was, "I'm over Flagstaff". He proceeded to drive home with his best grumpy face on. Besides the freezing 50 mile per hour winds, it was sooo fun watching Malloy run all over the place.

2008-04-17T10:01:00.000-07:00

Action shot

2008-04-17T09:59:00.001-07:00

Don't forget about me. Nixie loved thinking she was part of the action with her mini bat.

Fun at the park until...........

2008-04-01T11:21:00.000-07:00

I love it! The snow is gone and the park is on! I stole this picture off of my friends blog. Here are my kids and some buddies rolling down a 2 inch hill, loving every minute of it until Malloy informs me about an hour later that is tummy hurt- uh oh.

2008-04-01T11:19:00.001-07:00

Malloy ended up throwing up in the car, Nixie felt sick, and we all watched movies the rest of the day. Adam came home and couldn't believe that his two crazy kids were actually laying down watching t.v. in the middle of the day.

Who's scared of this Easter bunny?..... I am.

2008-03-27T09:56:00.000-07:00

I am sad to say that we have lost our camera. However, I did scan these pictures that Adam was so excited about- since they were free at Walmart. Our Easter was wonderful despite the lost camera. We celebrated Adam's b-day sweating it up at Laser Quest, we also went to the zoo, the park, skate land, attended a few Easter egg hunts, and last but not least I was able to spend a few days with just my sisters and mom. YES! No kids! There were a few bumps, Nixie did get sick the moment I left Adam with the kids, she did throw up the whole time and nearly drowned in my parents pool. Luckily superman (Adam) dove across the pool and rescued her. He did ruin his cell phone in the process. Also, as if the below bunny wasn't scary enough, another Easter Bunny attended one of the hunts Malloy went on. This Easter Bunny was about 6'4 in a costume made for a child. His bald head was popping out the back, and his hairy wrists were showing. The minute Malloy saw this scary sight- his eyes grew 3 sizes and he backed up slowly repeating, "Mother, there's somebody in there, there's somebody in there"! Scarring! Besides those few fun incidents, it was heavenly soaking up the sun and hanging out with family. We were able to coax Malloy into sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap above, he did do pretty good even if you can see the fear behind the smile.

Nixie on the other hand, well the picture speaks for itself.

2008-03-27T09:53:00.000-07:00

Ummm please don't chase my daughter, and I will be having nightmares.

All for you Tiffany Ann!

10 years ago: I was 15- dying my hair orange, trying to be blonde, and having a new crush every week.

5 things on my to do list :
1) walk- I know I'm an old woman, and no, I did not get to put a check mark next to that
2)laundry- always
3)clean game closet- no check
4)take Malloy to a Spider Man birthday party
5) Get a babysitter for tomorrow so Adam and I can to on a date and see The Other Boleyn Girl.
My husband will be drooling over Scarlett Johansen and Natalie Portman. I am already drooling beacuse I am so excited to see that dang movie! Double check!

5 snacks I enjoy: MMMMMM
1) eggo waffles any time of day
2)cereal
3)Nutty bars
4)cheese and crackers
5)chips and salsa

5 places I have lived:
1) Tempe, Az
2)Mesa, Az
3)Provo, Ut
4)Queen Creek, AZ
5) Australia.............ok fine Flagstaff- that list is so boring I just wanted to pretend.

What would I do if I was suddenly made a billionaire:
Wow, I could go on and on or just copy and paste my sister's ideas but I will be quick.
Build my dream house, buy a beach house, help family, travel, get a massage each week, be generous, and pamper myself. I would say save but seriously a billionaire? Would I really need to save, I can't think of anything I want that would even put a dent in a billion dollars.

5 jobs I have had:
1) Sunsplash lifegaurd- and I did not know how to save anyone- CPR? No idea.
2) Receptionist
3)Tumbling teacher
4)Dental Office
5) Preschool teacher

5 things you didn't know about me:

1. When I was a junior my older sister woke me up one morning and asked if I could drop her off in my car to get her car that she left at the church the day before. We went outside got in my car and I drove her to the church but her car was no where in sight. She panicked, we went back home, told my mom, went back outside, she took me to school and borrowed my car. The point- my Dad went and got her car the night before. Her car had been sitting right next to my car the whole time. I actually had to squeeze inbetween her car and my car to get in to my car and driver her to the church. We then had two more opportunities to notice her car in the driveway and neither one of us did.
2. My husband and I went backpacking through Europe where we slept in hostels and due to the fact that almost every hostel was full, we spent half the time sleeping in seperate rooms with random people, and the other half of the time sleeping in the same rooms with other travelers/ transients. Adam was almost beat up by a group of 10 drunk Australians beacuse while they were gone, Adam stole their pillow. Adam felt pretty helpless when they were cussing and spitting at him because he was tucked in bed with the sheet pulled up to his chin (just picture a scared granny) trying to conceal his garments that he insisted on wearing to bed even in groups of foreigners.
3)The first night of our honeymoon I noticed that I forgot my make-up. I didn't really want to spend a week in Hawaii without it so I called my mom and asked if she could send someone to the hotel to bring it to me. Her response: "Don't worry about it, he won't be looking at your face anyway"-click. No make up for me.
4)I've peed my pants more times than I can count- mostly in Highschool from laughing so hard. I'm not talking about a little drip, I'm talking huge wet spot on the chair. Sorry I know that is gross.
5) I have been in eight car accidents where I have been behind the wheel. Only two of those were the other persons fault and two have happened within this last month due to the wonderful combination of snow and hills.

That was very long, I will not be posting for months and I tag Jill, Rachel, Amber, Paige, Jana, and Holly- have fun, I will hound you until you do it.

Is my husband going to Physical Therapy school?

2008-02-13T07:48:00.000-08:00

This particular Saturday I was gone running errands. This is what happened in that time. I always love when Adam spends time with the kids because they do things that I never do. For example this picture. I would never have thought to draw every bone in the human body on my son. I'm not sure if Adam was using Malloy to study or if he was just bored, but please notice the facial bones, toe bones, and the heart carefully placed under the chest bones. Malloy loves skeletons and anything scary so he was in heaven.

2008-02-13T07:41:00.000-08:00

This is how it started. I guess Malloy and Adam felt like it wasn't enough.

Eyebrows

2008-02-13T07:31:00.000-08:00

This picture is unique for a few reasons. A) my daughter has figured out how to take her shirt off and sometimes almost take her shirt off . This is a picture of her almost taking her shirt off. She messes up her hair every time she does this and I am the saddest mom. B) my Mom was watching her and decided to put make up on her. Note the eyebrows, yes that is eyebrow pencil. My mom is obsessed with eyebrows and from the time I was 4 years old she frequently expressed her dissapointment in my non existent eyebrows.

2008-02-13T07:28:00.000-08:00

Mimi makeover- maybe someday Nixie will have eyebrows like you mom.

Header side note

2008-01-23T08:12:00.001-08:00

Ok- I am a proud mom, but not so proud that I purposely put an 8x10 of my children in my header. I'm still trying to fix it, so until I can figure out what I'm doing- enjoy the bigger than life pictures of my kids!

Love- Hate Relashionship

2008-01-23T08:01:00.001-08:00

Adam won this wonderful and hateful little toy/video game as a white elephant gift at a Christmas party. I wasn't too worried, it looks harmless- nothing compared to real video games but little did I know it would completely consume Malloy's life. Adam has lovingly taught him how to play each game- thank you. I never thought Malloy would have a clue as to how to work it. I should have known better because I have seen some kids playing video games at age two. The upside is that when I need to get things done it is a great babysitter.

Getting to the next "lebel"

2008-01-23T07:56:00.000-08:00

Every time Malloy plays pacman he yells,"I NEED TO GET THE THE NEXT LEBEL"! I'm so glad Adam showed malloy the different levels of pacman because now my hot tempered little 3 year old is obsessed with the game, the levels and winning. It was so much better when he had no idea what was going on and thought it was funny when his little pacman was chased down and eaten.

2008-01-23T07:54:00.000-08:00

Adam was finally able to get to the next level. Malloy is showing his appreciation and who looks more excited?

Oh how I wish I could be a fly on the wall!!!!

Malloy has graduated from nursery to sunbeams and it cracks me up to picture him sitting reverently through primary and a Sunday school lesson. First of all, sunbeams consist of a lot of coloring, something Malloy hates, something I have to bribe him with candy to do. Anyway, this is the second week he has gone to primary and YES his class has a spy window. This last Sunday right before Relief Society, I casually walked by and peeped in his room only to find an empty class- bummer. I realized he must still be in the primary room so of course I went to check on him. After cracking the door I can see that he and 3 other older kids were picked to go to the front of the room for some kind of activity – queue the sweat glands. The President says, “Ok kids, please draw one of Heavenly Father’s creations” . I am laughing so hard and all I can think of is later Malloy, you are on your own. I’m pretty sure Malloy hasn’t even noticed the writing utensil next to him that he is supposed to be drawing with and the word creation hasn’t even been uttered in his life up to that point. Ok William goes first. What do you know a camel and – bonus- a picture of Jesus, very impressive. Audrey is second, she draws a cow and some flowers, Malloy’s turn. Oh he is still on the ground with his paper. The President says,” Malloy do you want to stand up and show us what you drew?” He stands up, shows her the paper and says, “an M” . The President says “Oh an M for Malloy.” I was heavily breathing / giggling and almost slobbering because I was smiling so big. The letter M had nothing to do with the assignment, I was just happy it wasn't a blank piece of paper. At that very moment an older man that I do not know walked by and said, “easy snoopy!” Oh I wish I could spy every week, it was so entertaining. I really hope this nosy feeling subsides because when I think about his first dance as a deacon, trench coats and wigs come to mind.

I was so excited to have our friends Ryan and Amber visit this weekend. Try as I might I am not a good snowboarder, however I do have fun despite the lack of feeling in my toes every time I go. Amber, Ryan, and Adam are very good! I almost had more fun watching Amber twirl and twist than I did snowboarding. Thanks for the fun Olsen fam!!

2008-01-12T20:15:00.000-08:00

MMMMMMM STAMPS!

2008-01-12T20:13:00.001-08:00

Nixie found Malloy's blue stamp pen- we had better hide the red one.

2008-01-12T20:10:00.000-08:00

Ooops- looks like she found the red one as well.

I love Christmas and everything that goes with it!!!

2008-01-08T17:07:00.000-08:00

Christmas morning was so fun. I loved watching Nixie and Malloy open presents and freak out. I also loved all the wrapping paper everywhere, the Christmas mess- when Adam came out with a bag to clean it up, I did ask if we could just leave it for a while. It was fun visiting friends and family. Good thing my sister emailed me some pictures documenting the trip. We are loser picture takers which is why a blog is very good for us. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I miss it already.

I MISS MY MOM AND DAD! Ok- I'm pretty sure I need my parents more now- now that I am a parent, versus when I was a teenager. And please check my Dad's cutest Santa apron, he is so cute!
