lindsay is hilarious!

i forgot to post this at the end of the soccer post. lindsay was sitting at the snackbar on Sunday while i was making dinner and we had an out of the blue conversation that went like this.
lindsay: "mom is santa mormon?"
mom: "i don't know, why?"
lindsay: "well i think he is because he comes on christmas and christmas is jesus' birthday so he has to be mormon cause we are and so is jesus-so santa is mormon!"
so there you have it. the mind of a 5 year old!

soccer girl

(this is what she usually looks like on the field.)

lindsay wanted to make sure that her soccer pics got put on here. she has enjoyed her first season of soccer. she isn't very aggressive, in fact last night was the first time she actually kicked the ball. and it's the second to the last game. she just all of the sudden got the ball and started kicking it down the field. we were cheering and screaming like crazy. people around me were probably wishing that "soccer mom" would keep her mouth shut:) She also played goalie and stopped 2 goals! (we won't add the fact that she was day dreaming the other 2 times the ball went through!) anyways on the way home we were telling her how when she kicked the ball she did an awesome job. she said, "mom, was i impressive?" (she meant aggressive, but i think she was both) i can't wait for next season!

Daisy's Baptism

Daisy was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by her father today. It was the best day ever! We had such a beautiful spirit in our home today. We are so proud of daisy and her decision to be baptized. Alot of our friends and family were here and we appreciate it so much. Here is daisy and her dad. right after her baptism in the dressing room.
Grandma Day made her this "comforter"It is the cutest thing ever. She spent alot of time on it and it turned out so cute. She took Daisy shopping for the material but she didn't see the finished project until today.
i look at this picture and it's kind of weird that it's my child getting baptized. i don't feel old enough to have my child be this old!
We started the day off with pedi's. Daisy was in absolute heaven. She had the massager on her back and was so chilled. I told her to not get used to this because today was a special occasion and she's not getting one of these again for a long time. Unless she wants to use her own money.:) All in all it was a great day. We had all our family and friends over after for refreshments and lots of visiting. Life is good.
Daisy and her 2 cousins sang the closing song. They sang When I Am Baptized. It was the sweetest thing ever. They have the cutest little voices. Our ward ended up in the chapel because we had 3 kids get baptized. There was a big crowd and they sang at the pulpit. I am so proud of my child. There is no way I would have done that when I was 8. Everyone came up after and told them how good they did. the spirit was definitely there because Daisy woke up with a fever and Lily ended up throwing up and kept it in her mouth through the last verse then ran out with her dad and threw up in the grass. But nobody would have known because the song was so sweet. And Daisy came home and visited with her family and then went straight to bed because she isn't feeling good. We're so glad she was able to make it through the day. i wish I got a picture of the 3 girls but Lily went home after so I'll have to get one of them later.

my new do!

When Lindsay cut her hair she was so excited that we were "twins". Not anymore though.
I chopped my hair again. I like the fact that it only takes me like 5 minutes to do my hair. And I am not a primper so that's a good thing for me. If I put makeup on I'm doing good.

A great 3 day weekend

So I had alot to post today! We thought our 3 day weekend was going to be very uneventful. It turned out to be "snow" much fun. (I'm a dork) On Friday night at like 7pm Devin called us and said they had an open cabin in Showlow. We were so excited to go play in the snow. we left Sat. morning and brought Jamee with us. On the way up Devin called and told us the snow in Showlow was melting but there was still snow in Heber. That worked perfectly because Jeff's parents and Becky were at the family cabin in Heber. They let us come crash with them for the afternoon. The girls had so much fun sledding down the hill and they made little snowpeople. Daisy wouldn't go down the hill until I was inside with Coop so I have no pics of her. I did take alot of video but I don't know how to put it on the computer. We made it to Showlow and went to dinner with Devin and Kristin then had more Wii game fun. We went to church with them on Sunday and had a yummy steak dinner! We always have good food and fun up there. Thank you so much Devin and Kristin. We always have so much fun with you two! (and the 4 kiddos)

This seriously is the best place. I could eat it everyday if I was rich and wanted to be a fatty. Our girls also share my love for this, so does Jeff. Well Devin & Kristin love it as much as us too. They gave Daisy and Lindsay each a $15 gift card for their bdays. Now we can go alot! We actually went this afternoon for FHE. It was DELICIOUS! I have alot of favorites but always like to try different combos. What do you like when you go? I like this last pic of the healthy indulgence. (YEAH RIGHT)

I think this kid is pretty studly too. Even though he will not look at the camera. Ever. But he has cool hair. And a sweet vest.

Is he just the cutest thing? Avery Jackson Day was blessed on Feb. 3rd. Life is crazy and I forgot to post this but I just got my pictures back and I saw this and had to post it. We are all in love with this boy. We fight over who gets to hold him when we get to see him.

Happy Heart Day!

So I've told Jeff that I don't want flowers on Valentine's Day because for 1. they are rediculously expensive today and 2. I don't want to know I'm getting them. I want to be surprised. So you would think he would think he was off the hook. Well to my surprise I woke up this morning to find that each of us got a Valentine. Cooper got a little motorcycle, he bought Ding Dongs and a movie for our ding dong girls, and I got a movie and a pedicure and a very nice card. THANKS HUN! YOU"RE THE BEST! WE {HEART} YOU!

Ok so the XOXOXOX pic, I have a story: Lindsay saw this on a paper and asked me what it meant. I told her hugs and kisses but I don't know why they did that. She stares at it for like 2 seconds and says. "Oh I know, the X is hugs cause you hug like this.(she puts her arms around her and they kind of cross each other like an X) The O is a kiss cause your mouth does this when you kiss." (She kind of puckered up but made an O with her mouth)

What the heck! When did my child get so smart? I never thought about it but I really thought that was genius of her. Did you know that?

Happy Birthday!

YOU'VE HAD A BIRTHDAY, SHOUT "HURRAY!" WE WANT TO SING TO YOU TODAY! ONE YEAR OLDER AND WISER TOO. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (CLAP) TO YOU!

Childrens songbook pg285 (just in case you have no clue what we're saying)

The "egghead" picture cracks me up! We are such nerds. But all us sisters have fun together. That's all that matters. Happy Birthday Jillyn!

Jillyn,

Growing up I thought we would never be that close because you are 7 years younger than me and sharing a room with you when I was 8-11 and you were just a little annoying kid was not fun. I remeber always complaining to mom that you and Randy got into my stuff. Then we moved back to AZ and you would rather have been outside with your shirt off playing basketball with the boys:) (had to put that in there) But now look at you, all grown up and married and now I wished we lived closer so we could hang out all the time and laugh. I don't think I laugh as much as when you're around. So happy birthday and you're not annoying anymore!

Love ya! Your oldest and shortest sister!

The Surprise

It's a motorcycle. Jeff got one when he turned 8 and he has been dying for our children to turn 8. It doesn't matter if it's a girl that really doesn't care if she had one or not. So we really know who the motorcycle is for fight? We added the stickers and pink handles to add a little feminie touch to it. We're going riding tomorrow!

Bday post #2

We have had quite the fun filled day! We went to the Hannah Montana 3-D concert thing. It was awesome! My inner rock star just wanted to belt out all the songs (yes I know them all) and get up and dance. But I didn't because I don't want to embarrass myself or my kids. But if you have a chance to go see it, GO! And call us cause I'd go again! Excuse my big fat image in the Hannah Montana sign:)

We are getting ready for the big party now. 12 seven & eight year olds running around! I'll do post #3 tonight so you can see the BIG present!

My baby is 8! I'm going crazy here. Where did the time go? I was just a little 19 year old girl getting married and now I have 3 kids and my oldest is going to get baptized! I guess time flies when you're having fun. I try to think of all the fun things to come as our kids grow and enjoy it. I love my Daisy girl. She is fun, a little sassy, and is fun to be around(most of the time) She has a good head on her shoulder and I think she will do great in life. She knows what she wants and doesn't stop till she gets it. we lvoe you Daisy.

Daisy is ditching school today. We are going to see the Hannah Montana 3-D concert this afternoon. She opened the tickets this morning for her bday. Stay posted though because her best present is coming tonight at her party! I'll give you a hint. Jeff got his first one when he turned 8 and has always told Daisy that on her 8th bday she would get one too. It's black and white and has Roxy stickers on it. It's awesome!
