Go to here for my 12of12 post.  Thanks! :)

My Baby is 3

Amazing how fast my kiddos our growing up.  Today my baby Baby turned 3.

3!

I clearly remember her birth.

She is looking older.  And expresses so much.

Baby loves to play with friends, on the computer, read, climb and still is a joker.

She is doted on by everyone and probably always will be.  Can't get away from being the baby.

Delivering her birthday party invites.

Practicing her candle-out blowing.

 

 

 

Love all her expressions!

 Gift opening.

Gift from Gpa & Gma D.

 Duck hooded towel and books from family.

 "The reach in."

 Yummmm!  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa D!

  

Snow cones and fun with friends and family.

We love you M!

Thank you for bringing so much happiness to our family!

Happy Birthday!

12of12 April 2012

Wow! April! This year is flying by.

  1.  I am really taking advantage of Spring Break.  My wake up time.  It has happened 2x this week - sleeping in this late. And I don't even like to sleep in.  But for some reason this week it has been nice.

2.  Found my hubs doing the dishes in the morning.   A nice surprise! Especially since I neglected the dishes for a day or so.  (My excuse for yesterday is because we were gone all day).  :)  And Rob made the comment after noticing I took the photo: "At least I know what day it is of the month."  The 12of12 is good for more then just photos and family history. ;)

3.  Miss M practicing guitar.  She is better than she think she is.

4.  Endurance.  That's what I am trying to do, and not just on the treadmill.

5.  Some of My Pearls coloring.  There are a few more requested photos at the bottom of this post.

6.  Posted our foosball table for sale.  Little by little we are selling off our stuff in preparation for our travels.  Only 1 1/2 months away.

7.  The dvd player decided to be finicky while the girls were watching a movie and so they came up to watch it on the computer.

8.  Ice cream cones.

9.  Pot Pie for supper.  I haven't made one in a long time.  It turned out well.

10. Playing UNO.  This is a great game for all members of our family to play.  Even Baby can play with us.

11.  Centaur. Could you guess that they have watched The Lightening Thief movie recently?

12.  Little I the "cooker chef" serving her creation.

Little I's cut outs of The Resurrection.

 The Large paper is the tomb.

There is a stone in front of it with 2 soldiers standing in front of that.

In the sky is an angel by 2 clouds.

Friday Fun: Bean Bag Jumping

New Adventure New Website

Hello!  My family and I are going to go a new adventure.  We are buying a 40ft. motor home to call home for the next 2 years.  We are selling off most of our stuff.  I am posting Stuff For Sale continually.  You can check that out on our new website: 7as1.com

We will be traveling the United States and outlining countries. As I have time, I will be posting more about that at 7as1.com

I am nervous, anxious, excited, busy ... getting ready for departure.  We would love to have you follow us along on our adventures!

12. I kept forgetting to take photos.  I didn't carry my camera around with me today like usual because of going to the school (I didn't want it to be a distraction)-so all photos will my iphone today.  I also have been busy getting ready to go on our travels*.

* We are buying a 40ft motor home and traveling for 2 years around the United States and possibly out of country.   We are very excited.  And also very busy trying to go through everything (selling off most of our stuff) and get ready in every aspect.  I will let you know when our new website is ready, then you can follow our adventures there.

1.  New Pendant.

2.  My usual breakfast: oatmeal with blueberries.

3.  Yeah! Snow!

4.  Each week at church Baby "escorts" Bro. Dougherty to Nursery to drop her off.  She holds his cane to "help him."

5.  Leftover birthday cake.  Rob turned 41 Friday.  Cake courtesy of Sister Dougherty.  Delicious!

6.  Baby singing her doll to sleep.  "Rock-a-bye-baby"

7.  Couldn't resist letting the girls play in the snow today.  It could be gone by the next day and this winter we don't know when it will return.

8.  Little I in the snow.

9.  Miss A at her primary teacher's house to pass off some Articles of Faith.  (Teacher requested not to be in the photo).

10. A common site: Little I drawing.

11. John's (little bro) and Maria's (friend) birthdays today.  And Abraham Lincoln's.

12. Baby getting a treat for using the toilet.  Not in the all or nothing stage, but just some incentive to have her desire to use the toilet.  Next month I think it will be time. (fingers crossed).  She's my last.  :)

To learn more about doing 12of12 go here.  It's never too late to start.

12of12 November and December 2011

I am about a month behind on blogging.  I have stuff I want to blog, like our St. George trip and our Colorado Thanksgiving trip and other things, but haven't taken the time to do it.  Been busy with my biz blog, daily life and getting Christmas stuff made for the kiddos.  So this month 12of12 you get last month's as well.  Enjoy!

November 2011

1.  Sat. morning scripture reading.  Wait...what is Baby reading?

2.  Printing labels and packaging items sold in my etsy store.  I sold something everyday that week.  Woohoo!

3.  Working on an doll clothing order for a neighbor.  I had to get it done that day because we were leaving for St. George the next.

4.  Reffing women's volleyball.

5.  Cutie Pie.

6.  Someone was helping with my 12of12.

7.  More sewing (and picking).

December 2011

1.  Tredmill run.  They day seems to go better if I get up and exercise before My Pearls are awake.

2.  Scripture reading.  B. helping Little I.

3.  Delicious breakfast!

4.  Baby loves to help put the silverware away.  I think it is becoming her daily job even though it is part of someone else's - I don't think they mind.

5.  Photos of a pillow cover that I was putting in my etsy shop.

6.  Playing on the kids computer.

7.  Baby and Little I love to have me blow the hair dryer and them while I'm doing my hair.  They then squeal and run away and shortly thereafter come back for more.

8.  Jumping on my unmade bed.

9.  Got my November 12of12 ready.

10. Sewed Christmas gifts.  Can't reveal anything because the recipients will read this blog post.

11. Miss A had a Christmas Ballet Performance.  She did a wonderful job!  We are proud of you Miss A.

12.  Muppet Movie for FHE.  My oldest daughter (9 years old) seemed to be the most into the movie.

Wow! I can't believe the year is almost gone.  It has been a year of growing.  Thanks Amy for this fun photolog experience.

Sunday Stroll and Roll

Stroll

 Miss M smashing any dandelion "wishes" along the way.  And I love her colorful outfit!

 Roll!

It was so nice to get out in the fresh cool Fall air.  We used to do it a lot where we used to live and haven't as much since moving.  We need to do it more.

FHE Day Camping

We had a fun Family Home Evening this week.  I had been up to the mountains a few times last week and wanted to go up as a family.  I love all the fall colors and wanted to enjoy it as a fam.  So Day Camping was a must.  And it did not disappoint.

Cool looking caterpillar.

 

{Here comes a photo, got to tip the head.}

 

JUMPING!

 

 

 

My Pearls were fascinated with the mushrooms.

Shroom anyone?

Heart of the trip.

I saw this view several times as I escorted my daughters to the bush bathroom again and again.  There were bathrooms close, but locked.  There was even a camp host around.  ???

 Mmmm S'Mores!

 Just Right!

Rob knew Baby would tip her head for the photo and so did it at the same time.

 Love the S'More Smile.

 Miss A reenacting a scene from the Book of Mormon. Ha.

Well Done!
