Happiness is a cozy blanket on a cold winter's day.

This blanket (binket) has me finding Lauren in the oddest places laying down. It's kinda funny, by the time I have a camera she is usually up and going again.

Let's see where can I hide?

Tupperwear, Keeps everything Fresh

Lauren has been such a sport, and such a tare the past few days. Since we are moving, she has been so board without her mommy friend to play with. Plus, there are so many things she can't play with out. Life is just unfair.

Hi, I'm gonna beef this side widget up, but for now it's just up. Melina Thanks for the invite. I think this is a great idea. I'm always up to seeing what books other's have read so I can kinda see what I want to read next.

This cracks me up! Liz there is one for the dems too.

Kitchen and Nook

The nook is kinda part of the kitchen, but kinda not. I like it that way, plus look at those two big windows. And on the wall that you can't see in the picture, it is full of china cabinets.

You can kinda see the kitchen from the living room picture. They are replacing the stove with a glass top stove. I'm kinda excited. Through the back door in the kitchen is the room that leads to the Laundry room. Back there it's kinda just closets and space. It used to be a porch and they built it in. There is also another door to the right. it's not in the picture. That leads to outside, and to the basement where we are able to have storage. Yippy!

Living Room

There is Eldine, the co-owner of the house. They live above us. I'm so excited to be dealing with people again, not an agency that has no problem giving us problems.

Foyer

Mom why are you taking picures?

Front Room

New Place.

Dave and I are so excited! We are moving about 50 feet from our front door and I know we sound crazy. It is a duplex and we rent the bottom half. I love the yard! I just can't wait to use it.

See the middle tree/bush infront of the tall building? Behind that is our bedroom window. I know, close.

Thanks for the Memories!

I have to split up the type, it's getting to big. So, I just want to continue saying that I was so glad to see everyone. I don't have one bad memory. Even when I was sick I was just happy to be with Dave. I want John and Lara to know we had soooooo much fun with them. Of course you two are the type to have fun where ever you go, but we like to think you kinda like us. Lara thanks so much for letting me come to get my hair cut while you got yours done. I had so much fun. It's been awhile since I could just sit in a chair and let someone as fun as Malana do my hair. I still can't believe how good she is. Love it!! and how cute is it that Lauren and Kaysen had a goodnight kiss. I'll tell ya folks it was sooooo cute. It was a kiss and hug. Oh and it's so cute that we went Christmas shopping with our father-in-law, while our hubbies took the kids and went shopping with their mom. I'll just say for the hundreth time, we had fun with you guys. And Lee and Ellen, you guys were so great. Thank you so much for letting us borrow your car/suburban. I know we have mentioned to eachother how much we appreciate it. Plus thanks so much for watching Lauren when she slept, Dave and I are seriously in shock because it was so nice. Thanks a ton!! I have the best in-laws! And Ellen, It was so good to be with you. I am so happy, so so so happy to see you feel better then you did two months ago. Oh, I was just about in tears when we first saw you! You looked like a whole new woman. We love you and Lee. Your the best.

Steve and Pam thank you so much for the room and the fun times. And Emily is so cute! Ash was such a doll with Lauren. I loved to see them playing. She made Lauren Laugh so much. I loved playing ticket-to-ride with you. I am always up for games with you two. Oh there is so much to say, I guess I have the time to hu? James and Renee I felt so comfortable with you guys when we came to visit. And baby Koby is so handsome. I really think he is going to be so cute, just like Aithne is. I really enjoyed laughing with you about the flight of the condors youtube video. I always wish I could spend more time with you when I leave. Pete and Nancy I wish I could see you three more. I just love being with you guys. You have such fun and happy personalities. I can't help but smile when I am talking with you and Jesse is such a cute dog!!

I am impressed by how kind your kids are and how fun too. Thank you so much for letting all of us use the Wii. And Wallaby's was a blast. If anything we could just sit down and have some good stories passed around, oh before we had to get dessert that is ;) Mom and Dad I miss you guys and I was so sad to say goodbye to you. It made me teary eyed and it's a new sensation for me to feel a ting homesick. You guys were the best and so easy. Thank you so much for watching Lauren, too many times to count. I enjoyed being with you. And thank you, so much for the "mad money" it felt soooo good!

Horsey

O.k. our little girl cracks me up. As her Aunt Nat said, "you have got to get her in Gymnastics." She does amaze us sometimes. So, she just climbes up onto the horse and starts rocking. It doesn't stop there though. One time we were just sitting there, and she get's this little smile on her face, runs over to the horse then get's on. But, she decides to put her feet on those back wood pegs. I'm impressed already, and just laughing. Then, she decided to put one foot in the middle of the horses back, and swings the other leg up high; then, she looks at me and laughs like she is the funniest. Which she is. ;) Dang it though I didn't have the camera on me. What was I thinking Marie?

So little

Ahh, where are the days where I could fit into a bathroom sink? Gone! I tell ya, Gone!! Isn't Lauren so cute though I just had to post it.

The Pink Cliffs

I honestly was so happy just to be up Cedar Mountain. I know I should have a whole site dedicated to it, I practically already do. But, I just couldn't stop taking pictures. Isn't it so beautiful. It just sends me. ;)

We miss Cedar Mountain!

So, something about looking at all that snow. I just started to feel better. We got out and Dave was shocked I wanted to do some snowshoeing. We didn't go far, but it was worth the whole trip. It was so sunny and beautiful. I love being the first on the snow.

Fun up Cedar Mountain.

Then, We were so lucky, Steve and Pam checked out a suite at the Springhill Marriott. Thanks Steve & Pam. I loved it. I couldn't have picked a better place to be throwing up until 4 am. It was so nice. Thanks again!! The next day I started to feel just a tad better, so we tried to continue with our plans. We went to the Mountain shop and were so sad they were probably closing. We loved Ben and Amanda. Then we headed up the mountain just for a ride. I love Cedar Mountain. So many good Memories.

Who are those good lookin' people?

So, how spoiled are we. My mom and dad baby sat Lauren for a full 24+ hours. I know. One down fall was that was when we all got sick. I was sick, Lauren and Grandma were sick. Great times. So Dave and I went out to eat at The Garden House. Seriously, I was sick and it still tasted so good that I am salavating talking about it. I honestly was so impressed. I love their food.

Then we went to the movies with John and Nat, I am Legend. If you haven't seen it yet. Holy Macrol!! I was on Dave's lap half the time.

two peas

I just love my hubby! We have so much fun together. It almost doesn't seem normal right?

Is this how it works?

We are very devoted to exercising. Can't you tell? Lauren thought it was a horsey like at Grandma & Grandpa Peterson's. Doesn't work the same little girl. Oh and Her diaper is cracking me up in this picture.

Wingers.... what can you say?

Mmmm... those are some good wings. We had fun going out to eat with Grandma Whiting, John and Lara. I was super bumbed that I was definately not feeling up to wings. I hope John and Lara don't kill me for putting up a picture of them eating. But, they are good wings. I bet you want some now hu?

John & Dave

We had so much fun visiting and playing with John and Lara, oh and Kaysen was such a blast with Lauren. It was so cute. I'm going to get the video we have of them up so you can all laugh at how cute the two were. Kaysen was a sport. We definatly miss them and are trying to figure out how we can see them before we graduate.

Say Bird

Lauren Love's birds. It was her second sign, and there are a ton of them here in Virginia. So, when her Uncle John had a huge bird in the house that wouldn't fly away, she was pretty excited. She just chuckled and smiled big at them. Daisy was the first for Lauren to see, she was good, but Lauren put her finger out and Daisy just wanted a little taste so, inevitably Coco became the favorite. (Coco is the big bird)

Merry Christmas

We had a good ol' time being sick Christmas Eve. I tell ya, there's nothing like getting sick a few days before Christmas to set the cheery mood. ;) Lauren ws such a good sport.

GGma

Sweet Grandma Whiting. Definately in Dave's top ladies. (I'm lucky #1)

Dave and I had such fun fourwheeling. Thanks mom and dad. Oh and Dave rolled a fourwheeler too. He really was having a hard time those few days in Delta. No harm done though. He was going a quick 5 miles per hour when it happened.

Hello!

Peek-a-Boo Grandma!

Oh this was so cute. Of course we all love grandma. We also loved, and so appreciated, the numberous naptime babysits both grandma's and grandpa's did. Dave and I are practically in shock that we have to stick around during naptime and bedtime now.

Story Time

Grandma and Grandpa were reading pictures to Lauren. It was so cute. It was so good to see them have fun with her.

Wii like to Play

Lauren was getting in some good Wii time. Uncle John needed a bit of help. ;)

Oh the Excitment!

I love my family!

That's one good lookin' Scab

Of course it wouldn't be vacation with out someone getting hurt right? Well, Dave will forever have a scar inbetween his brows. I don't know exactly how it happened but, let's just say I think my brother's 30 aut 6 (i don't know a thing about guns so that might be spelt wrong) has a really strong kickback. It happened to my dad too.

Splish Splash!

They are so killing me in the future for this. I wish I knew how to post the video. It was so funny! They were laughing their heads off, but somehow we didn't get a picture of them both looking.

Merry Christmas! Ho, Ho, Ho!

We had sooo much fun visiting family in Utah!! Lauren is so bored now because she doesn't instantly have friends when she wakes up. Just Mom and Dad, and soon just Mom. I guess we are going to have to visit some people.
