Trip to Coer'D'Alene

A rare moment of rest for all of us. Isn't she the cutest thing ever!! The resort we stayed at had a gorgeous pool that we spent many hours at. I think even the kids were ready to be done by the last day.

That is the resort in the background. The best part is it was FREE!!!!

Lake CDA in the background. Z isn't in pain, T isn't heavily drugged just a bad photo. E and I look good though!

We decided we would takt the kids with us to a vet conference for Mark. We drove about 7-8 hurs one way to get there and then we spent a lot of our time swimming and a little sightseeing.The resort was awesome and CDA is beautiful. It was fun to drive back on the same roads we frequented so often during vet school. The kids were good and we had a fun trip.

Christmas!!!

We had a really fun Chrismas. E opened her rocking horse and didn't want to open anything else. T opened each present and examined it, and Z ripped through all of his presents in record speed and then had nothing else to open. It was a full room at the in-laws, but we enjoyed it. I had told my hubby that E had been rolling out of bed at night and that was possibly the reason she was awake during the night. He said that wasn't the case but as we were lying in our camper she rolled out of her bed, not once, but three times. So for once I get to own the big I TOLD YOU SO!!!

T's Morning Musings

This morning while eating breakfast T and I had the following convo:
T:Do chickiens bathe themselves?
Me: Yes, they use their beaks and feet.
T:do they get their beaks and feet wet?
Me: Yes. Sometimes they use dirt to get the bugs off.
T: We should get a hen bath, they could push a lever.
Me: I don't know if they would like that.
T: Yeah, they would. They would take turns. One hen would go out and another big hen would go in.(waving arms dramatically)

Where do they come up with these things????

New Camera, New Snow!!!!

Here's my kiddos out playing in the beautiful fresh snow. This is my favorite kind of snow, big snowflakes. I love my new camera. Sorry for the months long hiatus, but I lost my other camera and had to save for this one. Love this time of year!!

Draco Malfoy, the "evil" spiderman and the cutest halloween fairy ever are here!!

I love potty training!!!

It has been two weeks of doing laundry 2-3 times a day, clothes not staying on my little girl(we finally resorted to safety pinning her clothes on), diapers tossed out of the crib, anything you can think of she has tried. This photo was the last straw. You would think I could've guessed she was ready to potty train. Girls are so much easier than boys, except for the attitude involved! Notice the pile of clothes discarded off to the side.

We are having a....
