THERE ISN'T ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS

I FOUND MY TWO LITTLE ANGELS STANDING ON THE COUCH LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE FIRST SNOW STORM TUESDAY MORNING. I SWEAR THEY STOOD THERE FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES AND DIDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO GET MY CAMERA OUT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES BEING A MOM ALL WORTH IT!!!

BANGS!


I don't think I've EVER had bangs... Let alone taken a picture of myself with bangs... I went and got my hair done Saturday and my hair dresser convinced me do do something a little different. Cut bangs. What do you think? Let's be honest.

The Polar Express

Grandma Dona took us to this amazing Polar Express ride in Lindon on Friday. It was so much fun. There's a house that has a built in a train track throughout their property and it's all decorated with lights, pictures and a little train that you can ride on to the North Pole to Santa's Workshop. After the train stops at the workshop you board back on the train and the whole rest of the ride has pictures of Christ in the yard and beautiful music playing to help us all remember the true meaning of Christmas Bella loved it!! I loved it! I hope we can do it every year. We had a great time and will always remember why we celebrate Christmas. To celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!!!!

While we waited to board the train they had us wait in a huge heated garage and had The Polar Express playing on a big projector. It was all so well organized and so nice we didn't have to wait in a line out in the freezing cold. Not to mention we only waited for like 10 minutes. Amazing!

Our family with Santa at our North Pole stop


Before Bella even got to Santa's lap she was already saying as she was approaching him "I want a vacuum and kitchen and a baby, where's my candy cane?" I have been very surprised that the few times Bella has sat on Santa's lap she hasn't freaked out. It's probably because I've been talking about Santa for like 3 months now in hopes she would not be afraid when the time came. I think it's worked. She's done pretty darn good, but she does get on the lap say what she wants, demands her candy cane and is DONE.



My two little bundles of joy!

Thanks for the fun visit Auntie Shanae and Kali!!!

P.S. and the pictures... I stole them :)

We had so much fun visiting with Shanae and Kali and were so glad they took time out of their busy schedule here in Utah to come see us. Next time hopefully Bodie and Krew will be able to play together. It was so funny, about a half hour before Shanae and Kali showed up Bella kept telling herself, and me "Kali's not a monster mom, Kali's not a monster." For those of you who don't know Kali she is a wild little girl with a lot of energy. Bella on the other hand is not so much like that if you know what I mean, so apparently Bella was a little nervous about Kali. I think they had a good time overall, but sorry Kali and Shanae Bella is such a nervous freak about everything. I do have to say though that after they left our house Bella talked about Kali the whole rest of the day and has made sure she's prayed for her every day since then. We love you guys and miss you alot! Thanks again for the visit!!

Twilight...


I went to the midnight showing of Twilight with some of my girlfriends and have mixed feelings about it. It didn't help that we were on the very front row, I was starving the whole movie, and was so tired! ok here's the deal, I read the book and loved it. To me the book was not cheesy at all, it was super good, intense, just awesome. The movie on the other hand... pretty cheesy, but I guess what can you expect, books are always better than the movie... I didn't get home til 2:30am and have been feeling it today. I think I'll try to watch it again not on the front row and not when I'm hungry and tired :)

"She's a mean old witch with a HAT"

This Halloween Bella learned this song and would put the witch hat on and sing this song at the top of her lungs! She found the hat today and I heard her in the other room singing and had to get it on video it was so cute!

IT'S ANOTHER GIRL..... NO WAIT, IT'S A BOY!!!!

We went and found out what we were having last night and found out it was another little peeper... which we are very excited about. I do have to admit though, both Lance and I were hoping for another girl... It didn't really matter either way though cause we have one of each already. Anywho, at our appointment the gay technician prematurely announced that it was a girl about 30 seconds into the ultra sound and for about the first 3 minutes kept pointing to those "three lines" low and behold to her horror after announcing we were having a girl, the baby suddenly grew a peeper. Our baby is definetely a boy. Not a question. It's hillarious though because we have a dvd of it and the first few minutes you see her cursor pointing to the "three lines" and then all the sudden there's no three lines anymore amazingly enough they disappeared and became something sticking straight out. I guess that technician learned her lesson. Thanks for getting our hopes up lady only to shoot them down and tell us it's not really a girl.... Really though I am very excited to have another little guy to be best buddies with Bodie.

HALLOWEEN

Nice up side down mustache Lance....


Halloween was so much fun this year. Bella was still creeped out by the scary guys, but would just tell herself evey time she saw something scary "dus pretend, not real, dus pretend mom not real" in a terrified little voice. It was the saddest cutest thing every time she said it. Anyhow, Halloween night we went to trunk-or-treat at my parents ward and it was awesome. When your kids are as young as mine, you still want them to experience the whole trick-or-treating thing, but it's not really worth it to go walk around and knock on doors, so trunk-or-treat is the greatest invention. Bella got her bag full of candy it only took 10 minutes to walk to all the trunks and we were done! Perfect. I'm honestly not a huge fan of Halloween, but this year was actually pretty fun. I dressed up as a boring witch. Lance was a gangster/thug. Bella and Bodie were Pooh and Tigger Super Sluths.

Tigger and Grandma Dona


That would be my nerd brother and my hard core husband



My mom is pretty much the cutest punkin I ever saw :)

More Halloween fun....

We went to this place that I can't even remember the name of it... I know, retarded me. Anyways, its was a cool outdoor boutique thing with shops and lots of Halloween fun. It was fun to spend some time with Grandma Ford and dad was even able to meet us there for a minute on his lunch break.

OPERATION KIDS!!!!!

Lance and I were invited by my wonderful parents to a black tie event. It was so fun to get dressed up! It was the Lifetime Achievement Awards event given by Operation Kids, a nonprofit organization. The award was given to John Walsh (America's Most Wanted host). The night was AMAZING! The host for the night was the President from 24. (I don't know his real name :)) It was so fun to see him in person cause I am a die hard fan of 24. The night started off with a delicious dinner and great enternainment. The award was given to John Walsh and then they asked everybody at their tables to fill out their cards to donate to the Operation Kids Foundation. Someone that looked pretty important came and grabbed my dad from our table and he went somewhere with them. All of the sudden I looked up at the jumbo tron and there was my dad... They were recognizing my dad for his generous donations to the Operation Kids Foundation.... IT WAS AWESOME! My dad is seriously my hero and the best example to me and I admire him so much for all he does for not only our family but so many other people. The night finished off with the country artist Collin Raye and also a few songs by Jim Brickman. AND THEN..... they announced that David Archuleta was in the audience. Oh my gosh, I love that kid! And to my amazement I looked up and he was at the table right in front of us. Hello how did I miss him. So I had to get a picture. A very memorable night for Lance and I. Thank you so much dad and mom for giving us the opportunity to experience this incredible event and Thank you Grandma Dona for taking care of our kids while Lance and I had a wonderful time. PS, Happy 26th birthday to my honey. I love you baby!
PROM 2008. OK JUST KIDDING WE HAD TO GET A PICTURE OF US BEFORE WE LEFT FOR THE EVENING :)

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

K is it me or does she really look all grown up? Maybe it's the outfit I put her in. Whatever it may be, to me she looks like she's a big girl! I swear I'm going to blink and she's going to be in school and then I'm going to blink again and she's going to be dating and then I'm going to blink again and she's going to REALLY be all grown up. It kind of makes me sad. I don't want her to grow up :( Does anyone know how to get to Never Land?

Bella's 2nd Birthday Party

We had Bella's party at the Rockwell clubhouse. It was thrown together last minute and we were so glad that Grandma Ford came and Lisa and Cliff and Boo and Alex and Emily and kids and Grandma and Grandpa "iggison" (that's how Bella says it) got to be there. Thanks everyone for coming and all your help. We had yummy pizza and a delicious ice cream cake from Cold Stone. Mmmmmm.... Every time we asked Bella what she wanted for her birthday, before her birthday came, obviously she told us cake and ice cream. Funny girl. That's all she wanted. So we got her cake and ice cream! We also got her a princess dress up outfit and Grandma Ford got her the movie Little Mermaid. It was lots of fun and Bella was just happy to be with all her family to celebrate year 2!!!!!








Trip to Hawaii

We had a lot of fun while visiting Hawaii. I do have to say that the time change was TERRIBLE though with our two little babies. We woke up at 3am the first few nights and I swear just as the kids were getting used to the time we left and came back to Utah. Oh well. We really did have fun and Bella loved seeing her friends and playing at the beach. Thanks Hillary and Derek for letting us stay at your house.

Finally Lala and Rusty, a picture of us all at Three Tables

Bella, Kali and Taylor

She just loved having her own little backpack for the beach

Cutest boys ever! Bodie and little Krew

Thanks to Lala and Rusty, lance and I went out to Three Tables and snorkeled while they watched Bodie and Bella on the beach. When we got back they had helped Bella construct this beautiful sand castle.

JUST A LITTLE FORD FUN

Family Home Evening activity--- pushing Bodie in the build-a-bear stroller

I came downstairs from showering the other day and saw Bella all decked out, my swimsuit bottoms around her neck, bra around her neck, bucket and shovel, and baby Annie... She looked at me and said "bye mom, ready go"

This is my favorite thing to find as a mom, my two little ones playing on the floor together having fun and entertaining themselves... LOVE IT!

Diva Bella in her shades and mom's shoes. She is a shoe freak and loves wearing anybody's shoes besides her own.
