Another cute story..

Ever had one of those days where you feel like you FAILED completely as a mom? I so had one of those days. I pray little Logan comes with a little less spice than his sisters or I don't know if I will make it!

On to the cute story....

Rob and I are BYU Cougar fans. Not ultra crazy obsessive fans (like someone else in my family (Amanda and Ryan)) But we are proud of our BYU background and have passed it on to our girls.

Today while visiting teaching, the lady mentioned that they lived in Utah for "of course BYU." Brooklyn was sitting down and jumps up, puts her arms above her head and yells "COUGARS!" and quietly sat back down. That's my girl!

Snowmobiling

Last week Grandpa Moyes took us up to the South Hills to go snowmobiling. He was very kind as we were LATE getting up there and not so well prepared. The weather at home was beautiful, but not as nice once we got in the mountains. I wasn't planning on going so I didn't dress that warm either. After a little persuading from Rob (we haven't been snowmobiling together for 5 years due to either pregnancy or a newborn at home!) I decided a little trail ride couldn't hurt. So we all bundled up with anything we had and went for a little ride. It ended up being way to cold for Brooklyn to be out, as she wouldn't stay under the blanket. Ava wanted to ride more no matter if she froze to death. So Grandpa, Dad, and Ava went for a longer ride while Brooklyn and I rode around the parking lot and played on the sled.

When they got back, Ava wanted to go FAST through the parking lot. So Grandpa and Dad each took her FAST on the sleds. And oh my goodness, they went really really fast. Enough for me to hold my breath but of course Ava loved it!

After the girls were officially frozen I took them to Grandma's house for some yummy chili. Rob and Grandpa stayed behind for a more adventerous ride. By the time 9:00 rode around, my mom and I were getting really worried because we hadn't heard from them and they should have been home LONG ago. Right as my mom said "I'm going to go up there to look for them" They FINALLY called us. My dad's machine had broken down during the ride, so they spent hours trying to get it back to the trailer. I guess the ride back consisted of my Dad and Rob riding one machine together (now wouldn't you have PAID to see that!) and towing the dead machine behind them. They had several obstacles such as the rope breaking a few times, not being able to get up the hill due to too much weight on ONE sled...etc... Thank goodness after everything going wrong they were able to make it home!

Thanks Grandpa for taking us and all the preparation you put in to get us up there! And thanks Grandma for the dinner! We had lots of fun!

A cute story

I keep wanting to post this story...and I keep forgetting. So before I forget again....

At my last Baby Dr. appt. I brought both girls with me. They actually did really well...much better than I thought they would. Anyways, the Dr. asked Ava if he wanted to squirt the goo on my belly before we listened to Logan's heartbeat. Ava got these HUGE Freaked out eyes and shook her head no. I didn't think much of it. The next day my dad was running some errands and took Ava along. He said she was telling him about the Dr. appt. and how the Dr. asked her to help out. My dad said she told him "But Grandpa..I'm not a Dr. I'm just little. I'm just a kid!"
Seriously how cute is that?

Back rubs

With this pregnancy, my back has been KILLING me. Seriously by the end of the night, it hurts to walk, sit, stand, lay down....! So my sweet husband always gives me back rubs, and now the girls have started requesting them! We are lucky girls!

I was looking through our pictures and realized I have been slacking on picture taking lately. So today after mopping the kitchen floor, I decided to play around with the lighting in the kitchen. Both girls had just woke up from their naps and were covered in peanut butter and jam. But I didn't care cause I didn't think I would get any good pictures! I was wrong....I'm in love with these pictures. (Amanda and Liz...like the hat???? :))

Our mini-vacation

We took the girls down to Salt Lake to see the lights before Christmas. (yes I know I'm behind!) We pricelined a hotel for that night which was SO exciting for the girls!

Here is us being way cheap. We brought our own lunch and breakfast. The girls thought it was pretty cool eating breakfast in the room though!Swimming early in the morning! Isn't that the best part about a hotel?

We took the girls up to Ensign Peak. This is the bench where Rob proposed to me 7 years ago!


Always so pretty.
