Making cookies with grandma!

Here is my lovely mom helping us make some yummy valentines cookis. I should have taken a picture of the frosting that i made. It was a new recipe and i totally screwed it up and kept adding stuff to it to make it decent. They actually turned out pretty yummy if i could say so my self!

Obviously, this is one of my girls' favorite things to do.....getting naked and doing crafty things......just like mommy(except for the naked part....or maybe not!)

INSULATION!!!!

Oh my gosh!!! My house is coming along!! They are doing the insulation right now and will be doing the sheet rocking in the next couple of days. I am going to have walls soon!!!! I am so lucky to have a husband that can do all of this and build us a beautiful house. We have not seen each other much for the past 7 months and i know how much my kids miss him and how much ryan misses our kids, but the just knowing that in a couple of months i will have a brand new house that my wonderful husband and dad has built gets me through being a single mother! Ilove you ryan !!!

Bubble wrap, dryers, and silly girls!

I am so crappy at posting........first i don't do it very often, and second i don't know how to turn pictures around after post them! Ahhhhh!!

I just love these girls!! I love silly pictures!I love how they have so much fun together. I am so lucky to have girls that get along so well and love each other so much. These are just a few rando m pictures that i loved.

Christmas break!!

This is Hallie, Garrett, Olivia, Cameron and matti all laying on my parents bed watching a movie. It was just too cute to not take a picture of them.

My family puts together the manger scene every christmas with all of the grandkids while my dad reads the nativity story. This year was very special because even though my brother wasn't there in person, his kids were and i am pretty sure that his spirit was there with us during christmas.How precious is that picture of all of the grandkids! I love them ALL SO MUCH!!

Cameron, Matti, Garrett, and Olivia are all about a year apart. They are so sweet and had so much fun together. The last time they were all together was 5 months ago when my brother passed away.

Santa is coming to town!!!

My parents had santa come over a few days before christmas and suprised all of the kids. It was so much fun. Santa had each of all of the 13 grandkids sit on his lap and he handed them a little present and a candy cane and a stocking with candy in it.It was so much fun and we hope that santa will visit again next year!! =)

Sophie's 2nd Birthday

This cake was A LOT easier than Matti's cake, and i think it still turned out pretty cute! I had to do Dora....she is completely OBSESSED with her!

The 1st picture( i know it is sideways....woops) was her actual birthday when we were in Utah...she was NOT a happy camper that day. We celebrated her birthday a few days earlier before we left ....she got spoiled like always, and had a lot of fun playing with all of her cousins and her new toys.

Halloween

Zuleikah(my sister in law) had spent 3 days making this cupcake costume for her daughter and when the time came to put it on, she wouldn't wear it and was very dissapointed....so i put it on and strut myself around town with it.....it actually was kind of heavy and awkward...no wonder why she didn't want to wear it!

My two little princesses....they had so much fun this halloween!
