Fancy Lady Tea Party

The girls and i had a fancy tea party a little while ago. here are the girls in their dress up clothes, being the most polite little ladies you'd ever want to meet... we even used extra high pitched voices :)

Just some cute pics of Gabe. we call him Gaberaham or Gaberton, Gabers or Gaberson or Liv calls him Gavey... he's the best baby in the world, so nice to be around and happy and complacent and laughing all the time... he's not a dud like some boring babies. No offense to other babies ;) and in case you're wondering... no, i'm not the least bit prejudiced!! oh and he has some of the cutest out fits thanks to aunt karalee!

Liv's Birthday!

Livia is Three Years Old!!! Here are a few pics from her party, she got to wear her "party dress" and have a "pink cake with strawberries" so it was a Great party. Some of her favorite things... Parties, Pink, Dresses, Cake, Strawberries, Presents, Ice Cream... could it get any better!? well maybe not - but these pictures could hardly get worse... these are the best ones i got of her party! sad :( ! what up? I can't believe she's three. she doesn't look old enough to me... she'll be in sunbeams in a couple months!! AhHhH!!! My sweet baby girl

halloween

We made it into idaho falls to trick-or-treat at grampa moedl's house early enough to play outside in the leaves for a while. i think the girls had more fun doing that than trick-or-treating, which we all know is the scariest thing ever invented, right? maybe that just us... Liza's princess hair was sooo pretty before the leaf jumping party... oh well. Livia had 4 little piggy-tails- so cute! here are our two princesses sleeping beauty and thumbelina, and little gabe is a football player, (you can't see him real good wrapped up like that but it was cold!) as happy as can be... The girls loved trick-or-treating at grama and grampa jenkins' house too- they got loaded! half their night's haul was brought in in one stop- i can't help but think that the other houses must have been a little of a let-down after that!

Matty Boy

Here are just a few of the many examples of Matt being his usual self: adorable, 100% likeable and the world's best Dad.

Liv got a new do! ya gotta love halloween time when fake hairdos are in every store. who doesn't love a cheap wig?

her royal highness...

Michelle My Belle the Belle of the Ball the Homecoming Queen!!! oh yeah- and zeke. ;) Feel free to call her "your majesty" from now on.

Livia Joy

My Sweet Heart Livia. nearly 3 years old! She's cute as a button, and sweet as sugar! She has this uncanny ability to make you adore her with her baby cheeks and bright eyes and her baby hair-do and beautiful innocence. She's always saying things like "i'm your heart, huh, mom." or "i'm your sweet girl" or "you're my best mommy." she could melt the heart of probably anyone.

liza's first day of preschool

Woah, time flies. i can't believe my little Liza's getting so grown up! i'm just glad it wasn't kindergarten this year! i wouldn't be ready! i'm so proud of my beautiful sweet Liza girl...

Gabers

baby mountain man
blessing day
such a cute smile, you can almost see his dimples!

teton nat'l park

We went to the tetons and yellowstone nat'l parks this weekend in search of leaves changing color. the weather was so nice and it was such a good little trip. we saw a bear at the tetons and tons of elk and buffalo in yellowstone and even a couple wolves and a huge fat swan. this is at jenny lake, not to be confused with ricki lake ;) Soooo pretty!

yellowstone mini-vacation

These crazy buffalo think they're so tough...

yeh, i know we say dumb stuff on videos. but we usually don't, cuz usually we're cool, but get out the camera and of course the dumbest things are recorded coming out of our mouths...

Baby Gabriel!!

The Girls were so excited to see and hold their new baby brother. I'm notsure if the nine months took longer for Marlise or for the girls. Here are some cute pictures of Gabriel and his new family. Her are the facts I know everybody likes to here: Weight 7lbs 1oz, height 20.5", born at 8:04pm Thursday, May 6th, 2010. As you can see from the pictures he has lots of hair (the most out of all our children). He and Marlise are doing very well and both are getting well deserved rest. Enough talk here are the pictures.

So even though i said i was gonna post the news when we found out, (its been like two months now) IT"S A BOY!!! yep- baby number three is a boy- yay! we're really excited about it and it seems just right for our family. so our due date is May 5th. (although i'm kinda hoping we can fit it in in the end of April... we'll see what we can do about that.) we haven't decide on any names yet, mostly because i am so picky about boy names. They're so much harder to pick. but yeh- ( This is me about a week before livia was born, {9 full months along} but i pretty much am just an early bloomer! this is basically what i look like any time after 6 months.) yeh it looks like that belly is strapped on but thats real! Sorry- What a hideous picture!! but its basically the only one i have of me pregnant to accompany this post... i'll have to remedy that. maybe get a more "flat"tering angle. and make a different face!

Little ice princess

Liza did pretty good skating this time she hasn't skated at all this winter until yesterday and she was way less afraid and even wanted to let go of daddy's hand by the end. matt's so good to spend time with her and is so patient with her pace, our girls are lucky to have him for their daddy.

The Girls LOVE to dress up in anything that is out of the ordinary- here are a few pictures from the last couple weeks of some of their get-ups...

Livie's costume is "Uniqua" from the backyardagains,

they sure know how to pose!

I love these little flowery high heels the girls wear around... The hat liv is wearing has the John Deere logo on it. The girls both have one (they were a give-away from something a year or so ago) and Liza was wearing hers a couple weeks ago and she said to me as she pointed to her hat, "this reindeer keeps the sun out of your eyes."

oh- notice the panies on the outside of livies clothes again... hmmm.

All Moved In

Yay! so we finally moved into our new house on the 23rd of January! It's so cool! we have still got a few projects left to finish up and a bunch of boxes left to unpack but we're in! Unpacking all this stuff makes me wonder where it all fit in our other (much) smaller house. kinda baffling actually. its so nice to have a place to put things when you're putting them away!

From family room into kitchen Master Bath Vanity (complete with odds and ends strewn around to prove that yes we are living here... okay i guess i could have put things away, but whatever.) we still need to do the tile back splash in here. cool little glass and metalic tiles... i love them

this one gives a little better idea of the space in here. notice liv has panties on the outside of her zippy jammies... very super hero.

this is how far we've gotten of this project- we still have to put up a mantle and build the drawers for under the hearth. but it'll look great when it's finished!

Here is my poor neglected living room... i obviously haven't hung up many pictures yet...
