Fall Moon

The Rainbow Birthday

2011-11-04T09:11:00.008-06:00

Let the cake eating begin!!!! She started out a little timid but once she realized the cake part was chocolate, she got really into it.

My younger sibblings Lauren and Shea painted a box my dad made into a little house and Daphne loves it so much! This face was priceless.

The people were definitely the best part of the party! We have the best families ever and it means so much to me that they come and support us. Some of them had to come a long way or make other sacrifices to be there and I appreciate it so much! I love spending time with them and its a little taste of heaven when we are all together like that!

The decorations really turned out and were fun to make. although I can't take credit for the beautiful Jiggler's made by my mother in law and the cake was more than half my sister Emily but it all sure looked pretty for the party! Also I should add that Jake helped me clean like a mad man!

Jake's bday celebration

2011-11-04T08:58:00.003-06:00

Jake chose bran muffins, grits and bacon for his Birthday breakfast which was a fun change from our usual waffles with ice cream and strawberry syrup. Daphne even liked it...well mostly the bacon. She got her hands on a piece and wouldn't let it go. She walked around all morning with it in her hand and mouth. Also we made a funny poster for him playing on one of his new favorite you tube videos. You can tell Lyndi gave me some help with the coloring and such :) I also took him for a little surprise get away that week end but of course forgot to take the camera. Anyway, I'm so glad he was born and that he is my husband and father to my children!

She's growing up!

2011-11-04T08:53:00.002-06:00

This first pic is one of my new favorites! Papa Mac put his hat and glasses on her and she just froze and looked around. It was so funny! The rest of the pictures we took for her invites for her 1st birthday party.

Baby's 1st surgery

2011-11-04T08:43:00.002-06:00

Daphne has had at least 7 ear infections since the beginning of the year. Pretty much anything that's going around cold/flu wise, she catches and then it turned into a double ear ache. So finally we got tubes put in both ears and its been so much better! Another plus is when we flew the pressure change didn't seem to bother her because she didn't have to "pop" her ears, they were just open. I was nervous for the surgery mostly because she had to go in fasting(hadn't eaten since 10:30 pm) and thats usually the 1st thing she wants in the morning. Also They don't let you watch you just hand over your baby to the anesthesiologist and he carries her back to the operating room while you wait in the family waiting room. She was actually really good though, (such a blessing) as you can see from the picture of her in the patient chair just waiting patiently :) When they wake up from the surgery they are pretty mad and they warned me but it was still hard to recognize her hysterical cry from another room. The nurses didn't wait long to come get me though and she calmed down once I held her.

Camping at Butterfly Lake

Willard and Lake Powell of Aug11

2011-09-10T09:09:00.006-06:00

The first 5 pics are at Willard and the others at Powell. Jake is getting better and better on the wake board. I on the other hand seem to get really hurt every time I try to jump the wake so I have decided to focus more time on the surfing that I find so fun! This trip Isaac surfed without the rope for the first time really well and Lyndi did it without the rope with Daddy too! Daphne had her first turn out on the board and didn't seem to feel like it was much different than being in his arms on the boat. Daphne was much more excited about the chocolate licorice that someone gave her.

Lyndi had been wanting to go on a hike with me since Jake and I had taken our own hike so I went with her and it turned out to be a major photo shoot. She wanted me to take a picture of her or me and and her about every 6 feet. These are some of my favorites. Notice how much more real her "scared face" is than mine. Jake thought she was really looking at something disturbing. She might be a good little actress when she grows up. Also she is actually a good little climber and would have kept going if I let her but I drew the line on the little cave that she could get up with my help but I couldn't follow so it made me really nervous. She reminds me a lot of me when I was little... not good for injuries in her future.

Surfing reached an all time fun on this trip with even the little kids surfing with someone else on the board with them. John figured out just the right speed and technique to make it almost hard to loose the spot where the wave carries you. Also he spent some time with Whit and got her comfortable on the surf board and she just took off and is really good now. John and Whit live in our basement and we have become best friends. Its really neat having them close and we love hanging out with them.

This is sweet little Aiden Mac Jake's Uncle Mike's son. He is such a sweet baby and we are blessed to have his spirit in our family!

Cherry Hill

2011-09-10T08:58:00.002-06:00

I got to take my younger siblings (plus Shea brought cousin Jack) to Cherry Hill and it was so much fun! It was neat to have them play with Lyndi and Daphne and we really spent all day in the water and eating nummy food! The 2nd pic is of Shea and Jack blowing up their shirts in the water and looking pretty funny! As you can see I didn't hold Daphne most of the time because they always want to hold her and its been a whole lot easier to find babysitters too! I love my family!

God bless America... and my family too!

2011-07-12T08:48:00.003-06:00

MY FAMILY IS MOVING BACK TO UTAH!!!!! We went to the Mandarin for Father's day and this first pic was from goofing around and chatting outside after we were done. They were all trying to turn their feet all the way in or out and I had to take a picture because they looked so funny! Just wish I could have caught Tyler doing it with Jake. The last two pictures are of the girls seeing their Papa Prince after 6 months for Daphne and a year for Lyndi. They were so sweet and they sure do love their Papa!

Every body loves surf'n....

2011-07-11T11:35:00.007-06:00

Since we had quite a few pictures of everyone surfing and it is definitely one of my favorite things to do I am designating a whole post to it!

Lov'n Lake Powell

2011-07-10T21:31:00.008-06:00

First of all a public Thankyou to Kelly and Becky for all of the money, time, cooking, cleaning, repairing and selflessness that goes into these trips. then a few explanations for memories sake of the first 6 pictures. #1 to remember all of the funny things that the kids say or do about Kelly's missing leg. (they like to inform him that its gone, sometimes stare or look away, sometimes jump or scream when he makes it jump at him etc)

#2- We have some awesome, funny, and smart kids in the family but mostly I think some really amazing Moms.

#3- Jake was one of the only brave souls to do the air chair this trip with out Eric doing his back flips, and he did really well!

#4- Lyndi is really fast to make friends but its not every time they can play so well and get along so effortlessly. Paiton was an awesome help in keeping Lyndi happy and busy.

#5- Jake and I found the most amazing mud pit, covered our whole bodies in it and let is dry (worked wonders on my skin...or maybe just dried it out) then we washed it all off except my face so i could show Lyndi, then jet skied back to the house boat.

#6- The pose with Lyndi wearing her visor and glasses was classic Lyndi. She got all ready for a little kids hike and I asked her to do her best hiking pose- that's what I got and I loved it!

Ok mostly the rest will just be to look at-

This trip was the Macfarlane Family reunion. We had so much fun and love being with family and friends. The food is amazing and dessert was in abundance this trip since we were celebrating quite a few birthdays.

Also lots of cute and fun babies on the boat! Here are a few pictures of some of them. I somehow didn't get a picture of cute Kyler who was my favorite pee-er off the back of the boat! He was so cute!

Little Big Party

2011-05-05T16:11:00.007-06:00

Lyndi's 5th birthday party was a blast! The theme was from a video game we play a lot as a family called Little Big Plant. In the game you have levels and collect points, and things to decorate your levels as well as the costumes for you "little sac guy". So the drawings that were hung around the house were of the sac guys in different costumes and then they were able to decorate themselves with a choice of face paint, and decorate a small rice crispy sac boy with fun treats. I was very impressed with the quality of face painting at another thing we went to so we hired them to come to the party and it actually took a lot of pressure off of us to entertain. My husband was amazing and we really have fun planning and getting ready for these parties. There is no way I could do it without him and family that helps.

Easters!!!

2011-05-05T11:51:00.006-06:00

Easter turned out to be pretty amazing this year. Lately I have really been missing my family and wasn't looking forward to another holiday without both of our parents. Jake's Mom and dad were going out of town and my parents still live forever away in Texas so I decided we needed to do something fun with the kids that are here. We ended up joining both of our families for Sunday festivities and had dinner (chicken milanesa, gnocchis with red sauce, fried corn, salad and chocolate eclaire dessert) then a Easter egg hunt and some family pictures. It was a lot of people but turned out really fun to mix it up.

On Saturday morning we went to the Fruit Heights easter egg hunt to start off Lyndi's 5th birthday. I was so proud of her because she filled her basket really fast and then started giving some of her eggs to some kids who didn't get very many. She has such a sweet heart, sometimes she just needs a little nudge, but when she sees how it makes others feel she catches and almost won't stop giving.

Friday night before the in laws left we did the yearly egg wars and guess who won!! ME! I seriously never even get close but I guess I had to show the Macfarlanes how its done ; )

I am so very thankful for family, SPRING (which we haven't seen much of yet), and mostly my savior Jesus Christ who makes my life more full of joy and peace. He has given me so many priceless gifts and I treasure them with all my heart!

Bumble Bee Bash

2011-05-05T11:40:00.004-06:00

Our sweet neighbor gave us some free tickets to go to the Bumble Bee Bash at Discovery Gateway and it was AWESOME! They had little bee headbands for everyone, face painters, a magician, rope/sash dancer (if that's what you call them), crafts, a puppet show and food w/ bumble punch (yellow juice with Hershey's syrup swirled on the cup). we had a blast and ended up hiring one of the face painters for Lyndi's Birthday party.

Daphne and Aunt Amber

2011-04-11T12:00:00.005-06:00

This was so fun! Amber would pour water on her with her hand and Daphne would sigh and coo. We had so much fun taking pictures and videos but then realized only a few things were internet appropriate because we didn't want to bare her cute lil girl parts. I feel so blessed for everyday I get with my little girls. They are rewarding and challenging in very different ways and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

More newborns

2011-02-28T10:33:00.003-07:00

So I really hate all of the pictures with us in them but that one at the top was the best. First of all we took it on my bad side when I still had Bell's Palsy and Jake didn't shave. Also my makeup was really dark because my cute sister did it for me and didn't realize how much darker it looks if we are doing closed eye pictures. But Daphne looks adorable and that's what really matters. We did have a little mis hap that made editing these pics a nightmare. We did the pics with her in the flower basket as the second pose and she got a really bad rash. So all the pictures except with the hot pink rug we had to edit out the rash :( It was sad but I think the pictures still turned out.

My girls

2011-02-28T10:25:00.002-07:00

I finally got the cd of Daphne's newborns! I'll post a couple more but these are some of my favorites. During the photo shoot Daphne peed and pooped on us and the studio floor. I was so embarrassed! It was fun though and she is so adorable. I just can't believe how big she is already compared to the new born pics. She still looks tiny though on the huge love sac in this last pic. Also the pic of Lyndi and her friends was of them doing a candy heart picnic on Grandma Mac's trampoline. They are cute girls and so funny when they play together.

Prince's Unite

2011-01-31T11:42:00.002-07:00

First of all Ryan is home from his mission!!!!!! I need to get a better picture of him with Daphne that doesn't make her look like she has such a bad uni-brow. It was so neat to have him finally see her and hold her for the first time along with all my family in Texas since my mom was the only one who got to come down when she was born.

So we had some little Christmas miracles this year. My family was going to try and come just after Christmas but wasn't able to. so then I thought I'd have all the Princes in Utah over at our house. Then my brother and his wife were going to California and then last minute someone in my parents ward in Texas offered to fly my two single sisters out to be with the family on Christmas. Such a nice thing since the tickets by then were so expensive and I knew my sisters really wanted to be with the family. But then all the stocking stuffers and presents we had gotten ready for them were kind of a waste and I was pretty bummed that I wasn't going to have any of my family around. I have to admit even though I was excited for them I cried quite a few times leading up to Christmas day. Then my husband surprised me with plane tickets for Daphne and I to go for a week the day after Christmas. I was more excited for that then I think I have been for any other present in my life. He is the best husband ever! Seriously, I just about died thinking that I was going to be with everyone and most of all the rest of my family was going to be able to finally see my daughter and hold her. I think the very best part of the trip was when I got there and watched everyone gather around her and saw their faces and excitement over her. We got to go do some shopping with gift cards they had received as presents from some other giving soul in their ward. Jake also told me part of my present was to take them all to a movie since they can't afford to do that very often. They have an awesome discount theater close that is like half as much to see the same movies right when they come out so we went and saw Tron! Then we were able to go see the Dallas temple again and they all did baptisms while Shea, Daphne and I went and found Shea a CTR ring for his birthday coming up. Braden gets home in July and then we will all be able to be together for a bit. It was a dream come true and can get me through until I get to see them this summer. I love my family so much and really between Jake's family and my own there is no one I'd rather be with. I love my friends too but its just not quite the same and I am so grateful for the love, friendship, support and closeness that I enjoy with our families.

Hot Date

2011-01-17T16:27:00.002-07:00

I got all dressed up and we went out for dinner with a gift card we got for Christmas. By all dressed up I mean doing me hair and make up more than the norm and wore high heels. Sad I know but it was fun and we just don't get to go out as often anymore. Then we watched a movie together. I love Jake and really we really needed some just us time. It was AMAZING!

Playtime and field trips

2011-01-17T16:07:00.004-07:00

I helped Lyndi and her friend Ashley build a fort/restaurant. They watched a movie on the little mini dvd player while they ate Ramen noodles, Caprisuns and fruit snacks. They thought it was the coolest thing ever and it was a good distraction while I put away all the Christmas decorations. Lyndi really wanted to keep up everything Christmas indefinitely but it was time. Then the field trip we went on with her pre-school was to Great Harvest and a dentist office. I was so proud of her because she volunteered to be the helper at the dentist and she even followed all the rules at the bakery. They were supposed to hold onto the big bowl all the time unless they were in a line following the lady. It has been really fun for me to do things like this with her because I felt like I missed out on a lot of the mom and me things when I was working. Its definitely been busier than I thought since I stopped work, with two now, but its been wonderful. I've gone back a couple days to fill in for someone while they were on vacation but that has been it. My sister Emily is living with us and that has made things so much easier. I have so much respect for mothers who do it alone. I don't know if I could. Turns out I'm not as patient, fun, or talented as I thought I'd be as a mother. Growing up with 8 sibblings even doesn't prepare you for being THE MOM. I'm glad that its something I can continually work on and that no one (husband) included really expects me to be perfect right away. I LOVE "working out of my home" being mommy. Most of all I LOVE my girls!

Sledding and celebrating!

2010-12-01T14:02:00.003-07:00

Well Jake was sworn in as an Attorney of Law the day after I got back from the hospital after delivering Daphne. Miraculously and with some good pain pills I was able to go to it. Since we missed his graduation from Law school for his sisters wedding in May, it was great to be able to support him and witness this great accomplishment! I can honestly say that Law school is one of the hardest things we've been through and I'm so very glad its over and that he can be practicing so I can stay home with the kids. It is a blessing I don't take for granted.

Also it finally snowed enough for Lyndi to get to go sledding and she was soooo excited. We bundled Daphne up in her little teddy bear jumpsuit and took some rides down the Fisher's hill in our neighborhood. I almost ran us into a tree one time but we had a blast!

Lately...

2010-12-01T12:24:00.001-07:00

From the top- Daphne went to all of church for the first time because Jake and I both needed to go the full time for teaching and training. She wore the dress that Lyndi wore for her first time to church and filled it out well even though she was younger going for the first time. Lyndi and Angie matched perfectly at our family Thanksgiving party so of course we had to take a picture- the second one. Then the last three were taken yesterday to show the super cute leg warmers Angie made for the babe and to show how chunky she's getting. She is also smiling at us when we talk to her now which is fun and makes you feel good. Ps. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for smiles!!! Most of all to be able to smile again myself!

Daphne Jane Macfarlane

2010-11-10T15:01:00.004-07:00

The two pictures with other babies are some friends that were born close to the same time. the bottom one is our cousin Brad and his wife Jen's baby Porter thent he one with all the dark hair is my friend Rachel's baby Paxon. Daphne was born 10/10/10 at 7:57 weighing 8lbs and 7oz's and 20 in long. She took about 8 hours to get here and had a relatively smooth delivery. She had some problems with her billirubin being high so she had a light bed and or pad she had to have on her at all times if possible for a couple days and nights as you will see pictured above. She eats more than Lynd did for sure so she has earned the title of little miss piggy. She smiles a lot in her sleep and smoetimes when she's awake and has the cutest sneezes I have ever heard (there are usually 4-5 and the last one are two aren't full sneezes but more like a couple yelps- for lack of a better describing word). I think that she looks like Lyndi but her nose is different, she has a rounder face, more chub and her hair is totally different. Lyndi's was dark like mine when born then lost it after a couple months and it came back in lighter where as Daphne's is light golden brown that seems to be getting lighter and I'm hoping she doesn't lose it cause its so much fun to have all the hair. She isn't sleeping very well lately but she used to be giving me a bout a 4 hour chunk then off and on for the rest of the night and morning. She slept better during the day of course. I just feel like even though its hard sometimes I am so very blessed that we are able to have these amazing little girls in our family.

Pre-baby

2010-11-10T14:41:00.003-07:00

Bottom to top this time. This picture of the baby was one of the 3D images we got and I took a picture of it on my phone so it's not the best but it was so neat to be able to see the baby this way. Her little legs were up with her hands up under her chin. We go another one of her drinking and snuggled but her nose was squished so I picked this one. The next two up were of the 4 wheeling trip i took with Jake's family. I know, crazy huh? They seemed to think that I was the weird one for worrying and assured me it was a really chill trail with very few bumps. Jake was really good to take it slow but I think I pretty much had a one solid contraction the whole time. It was beautiful though and its always fun with the Macfarlane family. Lyndi had to go the blessed #2 while we were out on the trail and ended up using a lettuce leaf and some paper dividers from snadwhich cheese to wipe with. It was quite the adventure. Then the coat picture was when we were at the Mac fam cabin and had to borrow some coats from the timeless coat closet. The top one is at the Macfarlane family reunion just after one woman told me I looked like I was ready to go any minute, or I had twins, or if not that then surely it must be my 4th or 5th child..... when I laughed instead of decking the woman she asked Jake if i was going to pee my pants, with my "condition" and all. I still had 6 weeks to my due date and even though I know I get really big I just had no idea that one woman could be so tactless so many times in a row. The rest of the family was wonderful but this woman almost got it.

Randomness needing to be posted

2010-11-10T14:13:00.002-07:00

Ok so from top to bottom there were just a few things i needed to document so we don't forget to since they are kind of random. The 1st one being that if she ever does need glasses, Lyndi would be adorable in them. She tried a few pairs on when I was getting some new ones and I just about died. The second was a cake that my friend Rachel made to tell all of us that the baby was a girl. Now that I'm writing this I'm realizing that I may have posted this earlier, hmmm. We'll leave it just in case. The 3rd pic is one that I feel like, weather or not I like it, needs to be posted. Bell's palsy was one of the hardest things I have had to deal with emotionally and physically. Thanks to a loving husband and heavenly father, as well as a lot of prayers and fasting I got through it and am almost all the way recovered from it. This picture is one of the only ones I took of my smile in the beginning and it was for my friend Lisa since she lived too far away to see me. Jake tried to do the smile with me so that between the two we had a full smile. If you haven't heard of Nienie's blog go to http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ or check out her mormon message. It helped me through these last months when I fealt ugly (paralized and pregnant aren't really the recipe for good self esteem). The last two pics are of when Amber my sister ran the 1/2 marathon in Ogden and then we took her out for breakfast at Sill's cafe after. Lyndi just wanted a pancake and bacon-that is what she got. Her face was priceless.

Past parties

2010-08-12T12:27:00.011-06:00

We went to Provo to visit Tyler and Kiley and i just had to post this pic from our little dance party. This girl can dance like you couldn't believe.

This is a Lego statue of a man riding a dog on top of a building...Lyndi is very creative in her commands.

This is Lyndi at Daxton's crocodile Birthday party. So fun and the cake was awesome!

Lyndi had her end of year pre-school program. This pic was when they were singing the 5 little monkeys song. Our favorite part was when Lyndi wouldn't let the little boy with Mr Alligator get her monkey because she is so much taller than everyone... Miss Lori had to come and help her give it up.

Then we had an awesome Party with a chance of meatballs for Lyndi's 4th b day. Jake made the awesome pinata that looked like the machine in the movie that spits out the food and a fun pin the beak on the rat bird game. I made the spaghetti and meatballs cake (ice cream cake with with piped frosting for the noodles, Ferreroche meatballs, and strawberry red sauce), and the cheeseburger cake (yellow cake buns, cocoa crispy patty, and Starburst and fruit roll up toppings). Then the fam helped out with cooking the noodles for the kitty pool full of spaghetti and pretend meatballs.

Then we threw a really fun Bachelorette party for Angie. Her friends gave her a make over and then took her out for ice cream then we came back and played games, had cake and opened presents. This was probably the only pic I would put on the blog but rest assured we still kept it appropriate ....enough.

Su-more!

2010-08-12T09:39:00.004-06:00

We had quite the April snow storm so we decided that Lyndi's snow man "Alpha" needed a new friend. Meet "Awkward" the snowman... yes Lyndi picks out these awesome names all by herself! Then we have some pics of the cute rain gear Gwama Mac got for Lyndi's birthday and Kelly's 50th Birthday celebration. Last but not least the epic battle of easter egg wars, some awesome Pokemon eggs Jake decorated, and Lyndi and Daddy easter morning.

On a more personal note I feel like there are some things to mention that we don't have pictured but definitely impacted us that spring. I'm a planner if you didn't know (meaning I like to make plans in my head of what to expect in the future). Most of the time Jake and I are on the same page with these plans and sometimes I make my own hopeful plans and Jake is nice enough to try and humor me on most occasions. as far as our Law school, living, and work plans we were agreed that Jake would take the Bar in February (which he had been taking extra classes and working really hard to be able to do for the past 2 1/2 years) then once he had passed that, I could quit and we could move back into our house in May when our renter's contract was up. I also had my plan to be pregnant in time to have a baby hopefully by March (Jake was thinking April or May so as to not cut it too close to the Bar). So when the FBI lost Jake's background check paperwork and time after time things were delayed beyond his control to the point we were going to have to wait until July to take the bar, you can imagine how our little plan crumbled. On top of that we went 8 months with no luck on the pregnancy thing. Emotionally that was really hard on me for a couple reasons. We got pregnant with Lyndi right away so I kind of expected the same thing. Then we had been off birth control for a couple years and I had been secretly hoping it would just happen and was ready to have another one for that long already. Then I had some friends who were trying for years and I kept worrying that their might be something wrong now and that we wouldn't be able to get pregnant again. I know that there are so many who have suffered much worse and know that my Heavenly Father was very aware of how much I could handle. I received many blessings from family members praying for me, fasting, church lessons, and priesthood blessings that got me through. So I kept working and Jake worked more and started studying for the bar for the second time so he wouldn't lose any of the knowledge he had started accumulating with the first course. It seemed like a huge set back at the time but of course it all worked out. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with our 2nd little girl, Jake just finished the bar and I will be able to be a stay at home mommy in October. I have gained such a respect for working mothers, people who struggle with infertility, my husband who works so hard to be able to provide for our family, and especially my father in heaven who I know loves me and knows what is best for our little family. It has been hard to have my family gone through out these trials but I have had amazing support form people around me here, from them even though they are far and my savior Jesus Christ.

Catching up...my life abbreviated

2010-08-12T08:11:00.004-06:00

Ok so I have never been the best at writing in my journal regularly, writing missionaries or friends like I should or even keeping in touch with people like I would want to so you shouldn't be surprised to see how long its been since I have posted but it is definitely something I would like to change because I feel like it is not just a fun thing to do but as a family journal it is really important. A lot has happened so I will try and get some good pics up to summarize and hit key points or life changing experiences. The last thing I posted about was my trip to Texas to visit my family and i have a few of my own pics I'll put up. The pic where we are making faces is at this amazing 3 story park we went to, then Amber gave Lyndi a trim while we were there (she is always so good to take time out or her day to take care of all of our haircuts), then the pic at dinner is from when we took my dad out for his B-day for some real Texas BBQ, then there is a sweet pic with the flag at the temple and last of that section is Lyndi when she went and caught tadpoles with Shea and her daddy.

The pics of Lyndi with my mom and dad are the first time she saw "Gwamma Princess" in 6 months and Papa Prince in at least a couple months. I was just as excited to watch her see them again as I was to see them myself. The other two pics are from a fun walk we took as a family and the one with us in a parking lot is a Trade days.

Stolen post....

2010-04-13T15:55:00.003-06:00

So I thought that I would try to copy and paste the pictures from Texas that my cute sister in law posted since they got some that I didn't but now I feel guilty for taking credit. So I'm just going to leave her work so you can know how talented her and my brother are at taking awesome photos then I'll make a separate post with my Texas pics. I think some of the pictures are cut off too so I'll work on getting that fixed but in the meantime I'll have it up. I know I'm wierd but what can ya do?

Happy Mexico Anniversary

2010-04-12T15:23:00.007-06:00

This was such an amazing trip and I'm glad I am married to my very best friend! We have so much fun together and even though I was having the fun pregnancy sickness it was still sooo amazing and I loved every minute with Jake. I thought it was interesting that the whole time I was there with my work I was never offered drugs- just alcohol and it was nice to just tell them I was pregnant, but walking around with Jake I got offered- marijuana, "the white stuff", "the green stuff", blow and simply "Ju wann get high?" Everything was strictly virgin and the Daiquiri's and Margarita's were delicious!

CABO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-04-12T13:57:00.007-06:00

I went on a work trip to Cabo where we went for cont education courses that were 4 days 8-1pm. We had to do a skit to introduce the team at the beginning of the seminar so we did the SNL "Perfect Cheer" hence the cheer outfit picture. Also I had a lot of 1st's like getting a henna tatoo, boogie boarding, free room service and water taxi. We had a sweet dance party on the beach with a limbo and fire pit! When my work team went home Jake flew out to join me for our 5 yr anniversary celebration and we stayed where we went on our honeymoon, a time share that the in laws so lovingly let us use! It was amazing and so mostly the pictures will describe how it went.

Angie's 1st shower!

2010-04-12T13:36:00.002-06:00

This was probably the cutes most color coordinated shower I've ever been to. My sister in law's friend and friend's mom Peggy threw her a fun red,black and white shower! Everything matched (the flowers, presents they wrapped, the food, and the games) and we played all sorts of fun games with clothes pins and bracelets where you have a key word you can't say and if you do people steal yours. Then we made bouquets out of odds and ends ( you can see my mother and sister in law's pictured below)

Dad in town and Tyler's B-day

2010-03-27T15:40:00.006-06:00

The first two are of the spank line so we could make sure Tyler got all 24 spank'ns.

Then we went out for dinner with my dad at an amazing Mongloian Barbeque place called Charlie Chows and had a crazy waiter. He was really nice but had quite the personality and we all just about died when Lyndi with her hand outstretched walked straight for his crotch. Turns out we didn't notice but he had a sweet Optimus Prime belt buckle and all was ok once we all realized that was what she wanted to see. W e were also invited over to my Grandma Prince's home to celebrate my brother Tyler's and cousin James' Birthday. My grandma is an amazing cook so we all ate ourselves silly and talked and laughed. It was great and luckily my dad was in town and could come!

Finer things club!

2010-03-25T18:32:00.004-06:00

If any of you are fans of The Office then you know what this club entails, if not it is like a book club with finer things... namely good food! Jake and his mother and sister Angie started reading well before me and until they went out for a nice dinner one night with out me I wasn't going to do the club with them because I am not really a reader. But my love for food and hate to miss out on things inspired me to read the book while at Lake Powell. We read "The Lovely Bones" and it was a little heavy for me in the beginning but the interesting point of view and descriptions were the best I've ever read. After the completion of the book we all went to the movie and dinner where we discussed our favorite parts of the book or asked each other what they thought about certain things. The pizza factory turned out to be a good place for a bread stick dual and Angie had an interesting ice experience (if you'll notice the picture of her cup with the ice suspended). Oh ya and we were honored with a celebrity guest appearance of Alvin the Chipmunk which Lyndi was delighted with!

Christmas and Christmas parties

2010-02-14T13:35:00.007-07:00

Christmas day was very busy between opening presents, talking to my two brothers on their missions, skyping with my family and the Memmott family Christmas festivities where the family is so big we use the church cultural hall and tables to fit all of us! Jake also made zombie tag shirts as you can see from the pic of my sister in law Angie and her fiance Eric.

My friend Michelle invited me and lisa over for a sleepover! It was a blast and I haven't had one in forever. Of course we had to take some silly pictures! Then I also got together with some high school friends and went out with Jake to the Roof for our company Christmas party. Love Christmas time

My Aunt invited my family, my brother Tyler and his wife, and my sister Amber over for a Christmas dinner and we had soooo much fun talking and bringing up old family memories.

Be'n silly and Mac fam Thanksgiving

2010-02-14T13:01:00.005-07:00

I think one of the best things about being silly is having fun wherever and whatever you are doing. I'm glad my husband and daughter are so much fun! We may not be the most "mature" or well behaved group but I wouldn't change it for the world!

The rest of us...

2010-02-14T12:51:00.003-07:00

Our own little Prince family Thanksgiving. We have so much fun and just laugh our heads off when we are together. Also down at the bottom I went to the pre-showing of New moon a while back and Jake even made us some sweet fan T-shirts...not too geeky, just for fun. I went with my sister Amber and some girl from work (plus my boss of course) ps. if anyone is looking for a job and has Dental experience we are hiring right now.

Lyndi fun

2010-01-10T18:38:00.003-07:00

Ok, first of all I think I have the funniest little girl ever. She cracks us up on a daily basis and since her vocab and interactions are maturing the humor has escalated. She will often quote a you tube or SNL sketch because she knows we think its funny and she is making up song lyrics lately so that adds in some fun. A couple examples are "Mommy, rockabye and relax for three years and a night" or "Peace and blessings, peace and blessings!"or "I need some some lip balm on these crusty crusts" from this you tube video http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DgtkU2ch0sRI&h=c7f6a8d6e93b0051eaff2d6789e45c68

Bottom line we have a lot of fun with this girl. Here are a few poses, play-dates and things she's been up to lately.

The Horror and pedicures!

2009-11-12T18:32:00.004-07:00

Apparently filing nails is horrifying to my brother. He was helping his wife paint her toes- mostly to prove he could be good at it I think, and then he got frustrated and irritated by the filing and covered almost her whole toe! It was pretty funny. Then the boys talked us into watching a sick Zombie movie for Halloween and they owe us big time because it was truly horrific!

Halloweeny

2009-11-12T18:19:00.003-07:00

Ginkies!! (Velma) Like, who's ready fro some candy?(Shaggy) Scoooby dooby doo!(Scooby , of course) So to explain a few of these, the one with Lyndi in the wagon is classic because her face and she kept telling the "Mystery Machine" to "Stay there myssery masheeeeen!" all night when it would roll a little in the drive way of the trick -or -treat houses. And the one where she is crying is from when she sprayed her uncles cologne in her eyes and couldn't open them normally with out screaming for over 30 minutes. It was sooo sad, and on Halloween too! But luckily, her favorite dog Lucky (no pun intended)was there to snuggle with and cheer her up.

Family din din

2009-11-12T18:05:00.003-07:00

This was the last big family dinner we had before my family moved to Hades.. oh I mean Texas. My Aunt Jacquee invited us over and it was a blast! AMAZING food - us Princes do love our food! Also this is where my camera monster lives so you will notice that these are from the summer then the next post will be pics from Halloween when we got it back....finally!!

Camera found- picture updates

2009-11-08T10:19:00.003-07:00

We went to a Davis Drum Line reunion and it was so fun to see everyone and catch up with what they are up to! Then also Lyndi had her first girl party/ sleep over with Jake's cousin's kids...soooo fun!

Hair trimm/ photo shoot

2009-09-27T10:02:00.002-06:00

My sister Amber stayed with us for a little while after my family moved and helped with a lot of things. She gave Lyndi and I a trim one night and we ended up taking a bunch of pictures while she was cutting Lyndi's hair because it was a good distraction. She is so funny because she likes to make different faces and then look at the picture an laugh and laugh.

Where an Adult can be a kid...

2009-09-27T09:44:00.003-06:00

Lyndi had her first trip to Chucky Cheeses with us and her uncle Isaac. She had a blast and Isaac was really cute with her. We saw a crazy squirrel figure on a log by a horse ride and thought it was pretty funny. Jake actually did a pretty good side by side impression and I love how even though we are adults we can be like kids and have fun. Also Lyndi had some unconventional ways of riding the rides. One instead of sitting on the seat she climbed the stork to ride him, poor guy was missing a wing. Here are some pictures of the excursion.

Our own little trip to the Willard beach.

2009-09-27T09:33:00.003-06:00

On Memorial day we went with the Macfarlanes and some friends to Willard and went boating. We did some surfing and air chair and wake boarding. Jake stayed back on the beach with Lyndi for one of the runs so that we didn't get ticketed for too many people on the boat. He is such a fun Dad! They took turns burying each other in the sand. The only pics we have, again, are from our phones so here is some of Lyndi buried, and Isaac surfing.

Lost..... Camera....

2009-09-27T08:22:00.010-06:00

OK so I know it has been way too long since I have posted but I can't find my camera and I am definitely a picture post-er. So I finally decided I will just fill in what I can and post any pics from Jake's and my phone that might be good.

So first item of news is that my family, after many crazy trials or close calls and miracles have arrived and are living in Texas now. It wasn't as earth shattering as I thought it would be and I feel like Heavenly Father has helped me out a lot with them being gone. For the most part I'm ok. Sundays and upcoming holidays are the hardest. We have gotten on the web cam and Skype'd a few times and that actually helps a lot more than I imagined. Any chance I get to see my siblings (Tyler and Kiley, or Amber) that are in Utah still, it feels like my family isn't as far away. Jake has been really good with the whole thing and has made sure to do anything he can to help it be easier. Also his family is great and I couldn't ask for more from the "in laws", they are amazing. Wow I know this makes me sound like I'm crazy or a baby or something but I just never imagined living this far away from my family and I really enjoyed seeing them at least once a week. My family are some of my best friends in the world and I gain so much strength and support from them. Lyndi Kept asking to play with my youngest brother Shea but I think now she understands a little better that he's far away. She did the cutest thing at the park the other day. We were in this part of the play ground that is like you are driving a car and I asked her where she wanted to go. She exclaimed TEXAS!!!! SO I drove and told her it was a really looooong drive then when we finally got there I got out of the toy and pretended to be different people in my family, every time she would be so

excited and give my a huge hug and smile and say "Oh Papa, I missed you, or Shea I missed you ect...." It was sooooo cute and made me cry. Its been quite the adjustment for my fam too. My Mom and Dad are trying to start over and get there new life out there all organized and started. Emily has had to retake some sophomore classes because the requirements are different for graduation and she goes to early morning seminary, then works out with the x-country team, gets ready and goes to school from 5 am to 4:30pm. Hyrum is in middle school and said he's the shortest guy in school even though he's in the oldest grade, also he has started at the famous Woga Gym to work hard on his gymnastics. Lauren is in middle school too and says she hears more swear words in a day out in the halls then she ever heard in her whole life growing up. Shea is getting used to how much more intense homework and school is. They all are making friends though and don't complain too much but ask when we are going to visit every time we talk. Hopefully we can visit soon!!!! This picture at the end is off them at the beach. they e-mailed me the picture of there first fun excursion, a overly needed break after all the craziness with the move.

SPRING BREAK!

2009-03-26T17:30:00.005-06:00

Flying kites and fun at the park!

We went to Battle of the bands at UVU where are friends in The Market won 1st place! She wanted to touch the wolverine's teeth. Jake totally made her jump with a growl while she was going in for the touch!

We asked Lyndi to do the rock on sign and this is what we got... love it!

Hide and seek with Aunt Angie!

See the bubble wand up in the air? She likes to do bubbles with gusto!

Home made bubbles are the best. Don't know who had more fun though, Jake or the kids!

Took the 4wheeler for a ride around Gramma Mac's backyard. They chased Lucky in circles and laughed and laughed.

2009-03-26T16:57:00.001-06:00

Made creme brule and chocolate pot de creme for my dad's Birthday. We put whip cream, strawberries, raspberries, and cramel sauce but ate them before I thought to take a prettier picture.

2009-03-21T17:26:00.001-06:00

Our weekend project!

The Masquerade

2009-03-16T16:00:00.004-06:00

We had a Masquerade ball with dinner dancing and games and it was sooooo fun! Everyone had to make a mask and we had prizes for the top5 winners. There are a lot more pics on facebook. Thanks to all who participated!

2009-03-03T20:55:00.001-07:00

I thought this was so cute, Jake fell asleep in the car so Lyndi just reached over and held his hand! I love those two!

1st time in curlers

Dixie Chicks

2009-02-26T19:18:00.002-07:00

My friend Brandi just had her 3rd little one blessed last Sunday. We went out to SLC for it and got catch up with her and my good friend Jessi May and some of the other girls I met through those two at Dixie College. It was so much fun and I love seeing old friends. Lyndi also fell in love with the cat and their dog (she was convinced it was Balto from the animated kids show)

Classic FUN!

2009-02-26T18:38:00.005-07:00

So the other night I had a bridal shower and Jake took Lyndi to Classic Skating for her Uncle Isaac's school night. Grandma Mac went with and I think they had so much fun. They had a little blow up slide there, that sounded like it was the favorite. Isaac was working it during the snowball (they put their hand out and if some one touches it they hold hands for the song and skate around with eachother). We are so lucky to have such loving and supportive families! We love being so close.

Valentines fun and more!

2009-02-19T19:59:00.004-07:00

My cute husband suprised me with a free little trip to his parents condo. He even rented some chickflicks and had everything packed and meals planned to cook there. It was the break we've needed for a while and a dream come true! Later the next day he went and picked up Lyndi while he let me take a nap and then we got in the hot tub and watched a kids movie and then had a fun sleep over with all of us! We had so much fun I just never wanted it to end. Then my cute friend Michelle had an awesome themed "Mustache Party" for her birthday. So that will explain the ugly facial hair in the other pics. She even made mustache shaped chocolate and peanut butter suckers. We had a blast and it was fun to see some people I hadn't seen in a while. I took a sucker home from Lyndi and just thought it was so cute on her!

The last weekend with Ryan : (

2009-01-23T13:36:00.006-07:00

So My little brother Ryan just left for the MTC to serve an LDS mission for two years in Halifax Canada. It's been a bitter sweet experience in that I am so proud of him and know that what he is going to share with the people of Canada is a priceless gift, but I also miss him very much and can't believe I won't be able to see him for 2 years. We tried to pack in as much family fun as possible with him before he left and definitely made some good memories. These pictures are all from the night he was set apart to be a missionary. We had some little smokies with the bacon wrapped around them and the brown sugar sauce, then headed over to the church- it was a really neat experience to be there for. The only thing that was super embarrassing was that Lyndi hit the Stake president in the face (he's also my boss) when he said hi to her (I just about died). When we got home we had some birthday cake since it was my little bro Hyrum's 13th b-day the 19th. Then because my dad was bald in all of our last family pictures we tried to get some before Ryan left. Don't worry we were trying to get a toddler to behave for pictures at 11:30 pm. Through all the craziness we still had allot of fun and I love my crazy big family. You'd think it wouldn't be weird missing a couple with such a big group but we all notice it for sure.

Funtivities

2009-01-09T16:34:00.004-07:00

I got to hang out with my cute friend Lisa and her boyfriend Steve before she left for DC. Steve's mom made some amazing authentic Mexican food and we just chilled and talked. They are cute together huh? Then the next two pics were after my brother Ryan went to the temple and we came back to my house for brownies and ice cream after. The last two are Lyndi at Pets Mart and the mall quarter toys. All around this break has been awesome and so nice to spend some time with Jake and Lyndi with no school and less work. Family is the BEST!

Rockband Groupdate

2009-01-09T16:12:00.002-07:00

We (Jake and I, Emily and Mike, Ryan and Angie, and Braden and Melissa) had a blast doing our Rockband date! I was related to almost all of our participants which was fun and we rocked out pretty hard. We had all sorts of crazy 80's colors with the girls and a bit more on the punk stuff on the guys. We did Hawaiian haystacks for dinner then rocked out and finished off with watching A Knights Tale. I love that my younger sibblings will hang out and go on dates with us even though we are "old and married".

Memmot Christmas Parties

2009-01-09T15:39:00.003-07:00

These first pics are of us being silly at the cousin's white elephant gift party. Cheers! We went up in their play room and took some pictures because their playroom was way cool. I especially like how creepy Jake looks coming out of the little door. Notice one of the coveted gifts was my sweet unicorn from my collection when I was little. "My horn can pierce the sky!" Michael from The Office

Jake's mom's side of the family always does a Christmas get together with everyone where we eat soup and breadsticks and act out the Nativity. Lyndi was the cutest little Angel you have ever seen and Isaac (Jake's little bro)was a pretty sweet shepherd. Jake's mom is the youngest of nine so you can imagine we have quite a few people there when we all get totgether. We got a picture of Jake with his grandma and I got to hold one our cousin's tiny little baby (I miss how little they are).

Christmas Morning

2009-01-09T15:00:00.004-07:00

Well Christmas this year was amazing and extra meaningful. We didn't have alot of money so presents were a bit more sparse but I would have to say its been one of my favorites. Jake's family had a visitor from Taiwan (Jake's brother John is there on an LDS mission and Ernie is the ward mission leader in his area right now) so we got to meet him and do some fun Utah things together, also he reminded us of the importance of missionary work and showed us the effect this gospel and specifically Jesus Christ has had on his life. We were able to go to Body Worlds, the Capitol, a SLC carriage ride, sledding and lots of family fun with him. My family's Christmas this year was special because we all decided to cut back on presents for us big kids and chip in together to be able to afford a hearing aid for my little sister Lauren. The picture of her with my parents is when she opened up the card and money. She was overwhelmed by how much we were able to get together and very thankful. She is such a sweetie and has been saving all of her babysitting money for a while. It was also very fun to have Lyndi so excited about everything. We did alot of going back and forth between our two families and had sooo much fun!

This picture with her mouth full is at the Macfarlane's when she stuffed a whole package of gushers in her mouth to make sure her tongue was ALL blue. Her one Christmas wish was to get a green ring pop which of course Santa granted since she's such a good girl! I have a really cute picture of her eating it on my phone so I'll post it later.

2008-12-10T12:05:00.001-07:00

I made a couple dresses for Lyndi for Christmas. They are kind of summer dresses but hopefully she can wear them with shirts underneath or jackets. I found the little peices of fabric on a really good sale and finally made them. My first time besides Halloween costumes so hopefully it all works ok.

Work Christmas

2008-12-05T16:51:00.004-07:00

This year with the economy not so hot we decided to do a little someth'n someth'n with our us bonus $ instead of shopping (Our boss is wonderful and gives us an incentive bonus pool that we ually go shopping with). Anywho we were able to use donations from that pool to buy a bunch of scarves, hats, gloves, and coats to handout this morning at the SLC mission (not LDS mission but a place where people who are struggling can recieve donations and breakfast before they go out on the job hunt). It was fun and cold so I'm glad we were able to bring a little warmth to those people. We handed out some donated donuts, coffee and sandwiches. Then we went out as an office for breakfast as our Christmas party. We saw this huge gingerbread house below.

The Twilight Zone

2008-12-05T16:28:00.002-07:00

So I know I'm a little late and everyone has given their full opinion of the Twilight movie but i took this pic right after we saw the movie and thought it was cute! It was soooo fun to watch this movie with my little sister who was absolutely ready to expolde when the movie started. I enjoyed the movie although was dissappointed at a couple parts.... but very excited for the 2nd one since it will have a ton more funding. Hear that? The bar has been raised!

Lyndi was very excited to have us home but her horsey wasn't so enthusiastic.

The Macfarlane 'charlie brown tree'

2008-12-05T14:24:00.000-07:00

We didn't want it to be too big just in case Lyndi pulled it over on her self... there wasn't really a size between this and the 10ft trees when we were cutting them down so there you go!

More small spaces...

2008-11-19T20:18:00.002-07:00

I don't know why but this girl just loves small spaces and I am always suprised at how small she really is!

Lets hear it for the girls!

2008-11-19T20:00:00.002-07:00

So the other day my sister was having a rough day so we decided to let everything else be put on hold (like my unsightly dished in the background) and get together for lunch and made crepes and just have some fun girl time. We had a couple incidents with the whipped cream spilling out when were eating so we decided to take apicture of all of us with it on our faces but then we started laughing and spitting whipcream every where. We had alot of fun and I'm so very thankful for my sisters and daughter!

Golden Beauties

2008-11-19T06:51:00.000-07:00

So I know it sounds funny but I've wanted to try and make onion rings for a long time. I used to hate onions but as my taste buds have grown up, I started to love them as long as they are cooked. So when I saw some onions at the store bigger than grapefruits I HAD to buy them. They turned out to be the best onion rings I've ever tasted and so pretty.... so ya I'm weird but it was post worthy in my head. The one on the left is a normal sized ring for reference of just how huge they were.

Dejavu....

2008-11-03T20:53:00.010-07:00

I swear I feel like I've worn more make up in the past week than my whole life put together! First I dressed up 3 times as a vampire with tons of light foundation, white powder, and shimmer powder to appear even whiter than my pale self, then I did the opposite Saturday and wore a tone of tan and brown make up to appear part african american as Lil' Mamma and Jake was Lil' John. Lyndi was the cutest little bat ever!!! Also I was very proud of my DI/Homemade under $10 costume we put together for her. We tried to make our costumes a bit different each time so we didn't get too bored but it was alot of work and a ton of makeup. I already have the 3rd eye zit in the middle of my forehead to prove it. So here is our halloween entourage.
The ones where Jake is my bearded victim was for our party on Halloween night at my parents house. My brother Ryan was Braveheart and my cousin was a dang creepy Joker while his wife was an awesome gypsi. The one below with just Jake and I is a pre-blood pic for the law-school party. Then the next one is all of us vamps at work. I look like a giant because I was wearing really tall (and extremely uncomfortable to work in) black boots. Its all worth it though I guess. Then the last two are the "lil' people" costumes. When I googled Lil' Mamma she some pics of her with a diamond studded binkey instead of a grill so that is why I have that in my mouth. We had a blast with the two other couples at Jamie's party. Happy halloween everyone!

Jake's life long best bud and cousin blessed their little baby on Sunday. Brielle Ava Brown- so cute. It was beautiful and so fun to get together with the family. So here are pics of me with Jen (the cute mommy), Jake w/ Brad (the happy father), the loving uncle and baby Bree, and Lyndi sleeping in the car on the way there.

Law school Halloween party

2008-10-29T20:14:00.004-06:00

Just in case you can't tell, I was a vampire and Jake was my victim. He rigged tubes to his punctures with a pump and would ooze blood out the holes. He steadily grew more and more drenched throughout the evening as he showed more and more people his gruesome invention. We had a lot of fun and were both sore the next day from all the dancing...I know we are out of shape. Below was one of my favorite other costumed couples there... except we didn't get the other 5 wives. It was awesome, they were all in DI dresses and most looked pregnant. I think 3 were girls and 3 were boys dressed as plig wives. Actually I just realized you can see two of the boys in the background of the pic of Jake and I.

She's wearing her big girl panties and thinks they are so cute!

Family Pictures

2008-10-21T16:49:00.008-06:00

My brave cousin took some family pictures the other Sunday. We did our little mac fam, then the Prince fam and the extended Prince..... would herd sound too mean. It was about 80 people and we were still missing around 10 so it was quite the group!
Then here is a little candid of me and Lyndi....what are we looking at? I think it was a plane, just so we don't keep you up at night.Then here is my fun family. I loved that my parents were fine with whatever (some of the other families wanted only the stiff traditional portraits) cause I think this is my favorite out of all the other families. Can you tell Lyndi was completely done taking pictures at this point? Then I liked how she captured some personality in our siblings photo.

Random Fun

2008-10-19T10:31:00.003-06:00

I got to go visit my friend Chelsie who I lived with during my Dixie College days and her little boy Spencer is getting sooo big and he's just adorable.

We also got to go to my little brother Hyrum's soccer game. It was freezing but fun! He is probably almost a foot shorter than most of the boys on the team but deffinitely one of the best little guys out there. ( not even being prejudice...my brother ROCKS!)

We went on our first train ride to visit daddy! Lyndi made friends with another little girl and had fun talking to her. She bumped her lip though while she was excitedly jumping around and I didn't have a napkin or anything. We took a picture of her fat lip "to show Daddy" and it made her feel better.

THE WEEZ

2008-10-18T14:26:00.009-06:00

I just had the amazing opportunity to go to the Weezer concert with my 3 brothers and two cousins with their spouses! Weezer was AWESOME and it was so fun to be there with family and have a blast feeding off eachothers excitment and everything. Also the biggest weezer fan out of all of us (my cousin James) was even able to go up on stage with some other radio station picked people and play an instrument with the band to "Beverly Hills" and "Hip Hip". They may be a bit wierd or different but so much cleaner and fun than the opening bands. I really appreciate when people can express their feelings and communicate something real instead of blurted out statements just to use profanity. Anywho I'll get off my soap box and show you the pics!

I know I look like a ghost but here we are waiting for it to start. Right to left its me then my bros Braden, then Tyler and the one flashing a sign is my bros friend Trenton.

Then down below is me and my cousin Sarah. The one below that is James, Tiara (his wife) and my brother Ryan with the red hair.

Then here are some pics of the stage when my cousin go to go up...he's in the far second to left. Sorry my camera doesn't have a good zoom. And last we have us all showing our weez spirit!

Marker Mishap

Lyndi got ahold of the black permnant marker and decided she wanted some tatoos like daddy!

How bout them apples!

2008-10-14T22:29:00.000-06:00

Aren't they pretty though? The ones that didn't have worms at least and they are so delicous! I made some apple crisp but if any of you have nummy recipes or ideas of how to use them up let me know.

2008-10-14T22:25:00.001-06:00

I was out in the yard picking apples and it started to snow! I want my autumn back!

Small spaces

2008-10-06T16:21:00.000-06:00

Lyndi loves small spaces, wether its a laundry basket, box, the dryer (dangerous I know), or cupboards. In this picture she's snuggled up watching Blue's clues. So sweet!
