cute little dancers

Liza and Liv had been wanting me to video them dancing for like an hour before Matt got home and  I was busy in the kitchen, so i said like any loving wife would; " when daddy gets home i know he would love to!" When he came in from work, he grabbed the camera and this is what he got. Good thing Daddy wasn't to busy for a show when he got home so we could have this video.

Fun Times

Girly Girls

nearly done

Here's the fireplace... Matt's pretty pleased with himself on this little project. It has taken a little longer than he wanted, but it's come together nicely. It's just got one or two pieces of trim left to do and then he can call it done. Lookin good Matt!

Make-up day!

Maybe I was having a crazy moment or something, but the other day I let the girls have free reign over my make-up drawer.... Here is the result...

Gabe the Great!

My little baby boy is growing up so fast! Nine months old today! This week he has reached an important milestone-- He can now pull himself up to standing... and he won't stop! He has put himself  into laundry baskets and our blanket basket, he gets stuff out of the drawers and throws it around and hollers proudly as if to let you know "this mess is mine!"  

Pics of the Stokes house

This is our bedroom, we still haven't found the right curtains.

 This is the girls bedroom; in case you couldn't already tell.

 This is the hallway coming from the bedrooms to the family room/kitchen

 I just finished the fireplace surround yesterday, there are still a few finishing touches put it is close.

Our house is in the middle of a field on 2 acres.

Eliza's Birthday Party

Liza and her friends had a lot of fun at her baking birthday party. They all made their own little mini pizzas and then decorated their own cupcakes.  She is now five years old and growing a lot!  Her daddy got her an easy bake oven which she used to make her own cake with.

Christmas 2010

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.
