What we have been up to..

I have been such a slacker on taking pictures lately! I think it's my crappy camera...no motivation. Although I don't have many pictures to prove it we have been super busy lately.

I hosted Bunko last weekend. It was sooo much fun and made me think of all my favorite Bunko peeps in AZ. I was planning on taking pics of it all but ran out of time then forgot when it was over. It was a Valentine Bunko. All the prizes were something to do with Valentines and served yummy soup in bread bowls. It was a super fun night!

Have you been seeing us on the news lately? Virginia has had two huge snow storms in the past two weeks which usually never happens! They say this is the coldest, snowiest, rainy winter in 10 years! Of course..the year we decide to come! At first it was so fun but now I'm praying for warm weather. Layering up three kids 5 times a day gets old pretty fast. Last week we had to see for our own eyes snow on the beach. And we found some! It wasn't a lot but we found some.

Off to church! Trying to get three kids to stay out of the snow in their church clothes by yourself gets old too. I can now say I have driven in snow! And I'm getting pretty good at it too!

Funnest birthday party ever! Brody's best friend Kellen turned 6 and had is party and a bounce house. Brody and Sadie had so much fun.

Have I mentioned my third child is trying his best to make me not have anymore kids? Well, he is crazy. The past few months he has stepped up his game in a big way! He will climb on anything and everything, open and dump out anything, write on and ruin anything in sight, you name it..he can destroy it! (We actually call him the destroyer..and he responds to it now!) We had to put a lock on our Fridge but he learned how to unlock it in few weeks. Then we put a second one up higher. The other day Noah watched (Ronan didn't see Noah watching) him open the cuboard next to the fridge stand on the shelf and unlock the second lock! The kid will get into anything! He has cracked up to a dozen eggs on my floor, poured out all the Raspberry ice crystal light on the carpet, pour out all the water from the Brita jug, open all the butter and leave a million bite marks all over it, squeeze mustard all over, and today I found an unopended diet coke can in his room. I mean seriously! My house is not that big..it's not like I'm ever too far!! He is just so quick! He has decided he only needs an hour (tops!) nap now. He would rather drink a gallon of milk then eat anything during the day. Yesterday at church he Said "Dadda" about 20 times loud enough the whole congregation would turn and look at him. He hates to get bucked in his carseat and screams for the first 5 min. of wherever we are going. The list could go on! BUT I do have to say, I could not imagine my life without him. He brings so much to our family. He is by far the most cuddly child I have ever had and I love it more than anything. He is definitely the baby of the family and I love it. There are no babies in the near future so he will just have to keep being the baby until it's time.

Brody teaching little man to play the Wii. He loved it and thought he was really doing something.

And lastly...I got to see Maddy!!! She is my friend from our old street. She was visiting her sister who lives in Williamsburg, which is about an hour away so I got to drive up and spend the day with them! Actually all night too! I totally got snowed in and didn't want to risk driving on the icy roads at night so I ended up spending the night. We had so much fun. We shopped at the outlets, ate out at a cute little restaurant, saw When in Rome, played games, watched food network, held Maddy's new niece (who is amazingly adorable) and just caught up on everything. She (by Casey's request) made me sign up for Facebook while I was there. I just don't get what the big deal is about it. I'm not really into it but I promised I would try!
We had so much fun I forgot to take any pics!!

Noah has been busy with school and Bishopric But doing great at them both. He comes home everyday for lunch and it's the highlight of my day.

Things are good for us! Now if we could just get rid of this dang cold weather!!
