What happens when...

...the 2 year old sister wants her older sister to paint her nails but the older sister doesn't want to??

The 2 year old gets the nail polish and paints her own nails!!
And this is the result! She was pretty proud!! She sat on the couch and painted them on her lap, and suprisingly enough only got a little bit of polish on her pants and none on the couch!!

Valentine's Day 2011

Making sugar cookies for FHE

Cordell decorated and ate his before I got the camera out, so no pic of him, the little piggie. We always ask him if he even tastes his food he eats it so fast.

Camille eating her cookie. I love the pizza sauce all over her face (I decided to wait until after the cookie to wash it.



Landon eating his cookie



Jennifer licking the frosting off the beaters :) HA HA (she's probably going to hate this picture someday but I couldn't resist)



Jennifer is done with the beaters and onto the knives!!



We took some to some of the new families in the ward. Jess helping decorate them!



I decided to try a cute valentines hairdo for Jennifer and it turned out pretty good, but the best part was that she loved it! I did it for Sunday and Monday

These pictures were taken after school when it was a little messy because by the time I got it done we were almost late for school so we didn't take time for a pic then!




The kids made Valentines for their dad so we could heart attack his pillow. On them we wrote why I love daddy and had them tell why.

Cordell: he helps me with stuff and I like to bild pinewood derby with him.
Jennifer: he helps me with my homework and teases me. I love you!
Landon: he bumps me high on the beanbags
Camille: because!!! Then she finally said: he holds me!!

After the kids went to bed that night Jennifer came to me and said, "Mom, come in my room and look at this." My kids always go to bed reading books, but that night Camille fell asleep hugging her books!

Pinewood Derby 2011

Cordell's first pinewood derby wasn't a huge success, but it wasn't a total failure. He had fun and that's all that matters!! He took 11 out of 15 boys. He was very proud of his BSU car.

I kept forgetting to take my camera to pack meetings (I didn't get a pic of him getting his bobcat :(! So when I remembered it this time, and the wolves were in charge of flag ceremony, I snapped a few pics of that as well.




Putting his car on the track





Jennifer hanging out at the Pinewood derby looking cute as always!

Random, funny pictures of Camille

My little monkey!! She was trying to get into her brother's gumballs!



UH-OH I'm caught!!



I am saving these next two pics for blackmail sometime in the future!! Me: Camille, don't pick your nose and eat it, that's gross!! Camille: No, it not, it yummy!!






Camille had a small cut on her lip that was bleeding and wanted to put a band-aid on it. This was the smallest one we could find. Ha Ha!! She said that feels better, but after about a minute, she took it off. She got the black eye by getting out of her seat belt and hitting the drink holder when I put on my brakes to turn into our driveway. I think she learned to stay in her seatbelt!

Christmas 2010

I didn't get many pictures this year, but I will post the ones that I took.

Every year on Christmas Eve the kids get new pajamas. I only got pics of Landon and Camille

I LOVE this pic of Camille, it captures her personality so perfectly!!



And same with this one of Landon!!


Jess's sister Karen, who lives in Alaska, had our family for Christmas this year and got us all Alaska shirts. So, this one's for you guys!!



The kids love their shirts and want to wear them everyday!!

We finally got a WII!! It was funny because Santa gave each of the kids their own remote in their stocking, which they opened first. Cordell opened his and said, "Santa gave us remotes, but we don't even have a wii!" Then we had them open the box from santa with the wii, they were so excited!! We got a red wii, and have already conquered Bowser and saved the princess. We won't even talk about how many hours we've spent playing it. Good thing it's winter time! We put it up for a while now to take a break. My brother and sister also gave the kids a fun game that they love and so did our good friends the Mills.

Landon playing the wii...


I love this pic because of the serious look on their faces!!


Jennifer loves her Hannah Montana snuggie!!

Christmas Program

Cordell and Jennifer had a Christmas program at school. It was very crowded and we got there just before it started so I was towards the back and the lighting was horrible. Even with my nice camera, since I don't know how to use it very well yet, these were the best pictures I got. Since Jess was out of town, so I had Landon and Camille, I was lucky to get any pictures.
