Here is to a new year of being more optimistic and more like my amazing children. They teach me everyday about how to be better.

IPhoto

I love pictures. And I love taking pictures of my kids. If you are on Instagram and we are not friends please find me! 

This week we spent lots of time inside because it has been so cold. I wish we had snow or something fun like that, but it's just cold here. Because we haven't been able to go anywhere we have tried to stay busy inside. 

The boys have been working on their homework projects and are making good progress, I guess I can start working again with them. 

The boys have also enjoyed taking pictures of doing funny things together. At the sametime my friend told me that she took her family photos with her iPhone and edited them herself. I was super jealous because they looked fabulous. So I downloaded some apps and have been playing with them and reading about how to take great photographs with the iphone. Luckily for me I have some great subject matter to practice on. 

Love my little family. Here is what I did this week. 
Benji in grandma smiths Christmas present. 

Pouty lips Samuel. 

Perfectly portrays Joshua, fun, crazy, and loveable. 

So do they look alike? People in the ward say they all look exactly alike. 


So in love with this boy! 

Can you tell he might be my favorite...actually I tell them all that. 

Samuel and his photoshoot. He loves that leopard. 

Sweet Samuel. 

No more pictures of Joshua because he said he wasn't ready. Maybe next week. I loved editing these photos. Let's hope when I develope them they print up nice too.

Christmas 2013


This year we were alone in TN. We were excited to do our own thing again and it was very relaxed. Ben and Samuel were sick most of the break. But other then that our time was well spent. 

We went to the temple, ate lots of junk, and watched tons of Christmas movies. 

I think it is important to make an effort to see our family at least once a year but I am not looking forward to traveling with little ones. It's a 5 hour flight to UT and how do you carry/watch 3 kids, luggage, and 3 carseats? 

My boys were so excited for Christmas and Joshua was super excited about going to bed early so Santa would come sooner.  

We had a tornado warning that weekend so I'm glad we were here because if we had been gone I would of been incredibly nervous about our home. Tornadoes and Christmas ... Wish it was snow though. 

It has been a great year and I cannot imagine what the next year will bring. I really have no idea what is ahead but  grateful for what I have experienced and who I've has in my life this year. 

Like I said, they all love to take pics together. 

My little elf. 

I just LOVE this boy! 

I live for moments of cuddling with little ones! 

Probably the best picture from our break. 

Who doesn't love playing with ribbons? 

Presents! 

They really are best friends!
