Where have we been?

Holidays hit, and of course, everything else took a backseat. It is now February...the busiest month for us and I am taking a moment for myself and spending time on my blog. :) Here is a random sampling of Halloween...Enjoy...if anyone is actually still reading this. :)

Halloween! I love this holiday...so fun and loads of stuff to do! To kick things off we went to Wee Witches Weekend at Gardner Village with my lil sis, Jessica. They had face painting, hay mazes, pony rides, and of course TONS of pumpkins and witches! The kids loved it and I loved all the fun pics. :)

Next came the actual Halloween! :) The costumes went as follows: Morgan -witch, Jake - Cosmo, the BYU cougar mascot, Me and Trev - cheesy basketball stars from a couple decades ago, and the babies - just cute kitty outfits and big orange flowers. :)

Family Pic time... ;)

For any of you still checking this... :) My sweet, super-talented sister-in-law, Heather took these pics for us (Thanks H!!), and I did the editing. I am loving how they turned out! Here are just a couple...Enjoy!

Birthday Boy...

Just a page of Jake's 3rd Birthday party. :) We were supposed to have a waterslide party that day, but low and behold...it rained! So we did impromptu coloring, cake and ice cream, and presents. Right about the time came for the party to be over, the rain stopped and the sun came out. So the guests stayed and Jake finally got his waterslide party... :)

tHe WaTeRsLiDe...

Here is a page of the kids playing on our waterslide. I got this at Costco last year and it is one of the BEST purchases I have ever made for my kids!! They play on it for hours, it is a highlight at any party or gathering, and I have come to believe it is virtually indestructible! LOVE IT!!! This is has quickly become a summer fav for our family. :)

Another babies' page...

One more of the girls...

What we've been up to...

Life is crazy as usual. :) We are still settling into life with four little ones, but they are such great kids and that helps. I just wanted to post some scrapbook pages I have done lately trying to catch up. :) I will probably do more of this because I intend to spend the next six months working on scrapping and pics of my kiddos. I am thinking that since I find little time to update my blog, that if I post my scrap pages that you will be up to date. Here goes...

First off, MAUI!!!! Yes we went to Maui AND took ALL the KIds!!! :) When the babies were in the hospital and it was such a stressful time, we always said that once it was all over we would take a trip somewhere fun...we were not thinking Maui, but when our sweet friends from Vegas Eric and Melinda invited us to join them we couldn't pass it up! Thanks again guys!!! It was the most amazing trip. We brought our sweet niece with us as a nanny to help with the kids. It was my favorite trip we have ever taken! Soooo fun, and a vacation much needed after the whole babies in the hospital ordeal. :) So here are some pages from our Maui trip...

If you are not already oozing with jealousy just click on the page about where we stayed and read it! I still pinch myself wondering if I was dreaming that we actually stayed there. :) It was AMAZING!!!

Okay, one more page for now...my first for the babies! Not new pics but their first page of the whole hospital experience...it made me cry creating it. :( But I figure I need to document the happy AND the emotional times in our lives...

Watch for more pages coming...I am working on them. :)
