Happy Birthday to Three Wonderful Young Men!

Birthdays, Family, Family Fun, Holidays, Kevin, Kevin and I, Memories, Michael
Today is Michael, Kevin and his dad Mark's birthday!!!  They are 95 accumulative years!  I'm sure I'll post more later about them, but just want to shout out my love to them today! I have one of the most wonderful father-in-laws you could ask for.  Mark is a wonderful example and such a loving caring man.  He's always helpful, always listening, and I don't think I've ever heard him speak to or of anyone in frustration.  I'm so glad to have him as a father in law, and glad to have him in my family.  I know my husband is a better man because of being raised by such a caring gentle father, as I see echo's of Mark in Kevin and the way that he cares for the world…

re-cap of the last two months Part II

We celebrated Aiden's 4th birthday! We had Aiden's Birthday party, he decided he wanted a candy mountain cake...  That's what it looked like...  A mountain of candy.  He loved it so that's all that matters. We had a rainbow pinyata, and I think everyone had a great time. We had LOTS of dinners at the Steele's and have enjoyed lots of time with both of our families.  One weekend when Mom and Dad Steele were out of town I think, we met up with Kevin's little brother and sister at Arctic Circle and let the kids play, fun times and good shakes. We had our first heavy snow, the boys LOVED going out in playing in it, but haven't been back out really yet, LOL!  Sadly I haven't taken any…

We hosted the annual Andersen Family Christmas party over at the Stake house.  I hosted a little studio, but haven't had much of a chance to look over the results.  I haven't had much of a chance for any picture stuff...  I'd better find some.  Joey played Jesus in the Nativity, he was pretty good about it, but I'm pretty sure he was kinda confused about all the fuss and costumes. My identity was stolen.  Yuck. We had a wonderful Christmas.  I was giddy over my gift for my brother (we draw names in my family) I got him a little foam airplane (think the kind Aiden would adore), and three t-shirts.  He opened it and tried to look thrilled.  Hahaha!  I'm so mean! Then I said "oh yeah, there's…

We went to visit Grandma Steele at work, and went to see the Lights and reindeer at Thanksgiving point. We frantically searched high and low for the new bank account folder of private financial information, including our new ATM card, new Pin #, and our credit reports including both of our SSN#'s.  To no avail.  THIS REALLY STINKS.  I can't even begin to express how frustrating that's been...  Things have been worked out now, but things were sure tense there for a bit. We rang in the new year fast asleep.  I was sick and saw no point in wasting what little energy I had on trying to stay awake...  Though we did have Dinner at he Steele's. I then spent the next 4 days sick, it turns out my…

I’m here!

Aiden, Family Fun, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Me, Move to Utah, Pictures, To new beginnings
OK, I've been a slacker, but I'm having fun!  Doing photos (still taking sessions, call me), having birthday's and birthday parties, Christmas prep, and just all around having a blast with our families.  Throw in a migraine or 10 (3 me, 7 Kevin) and that just about sums it up. Oh, other than the job, that's going well, Kevin really likes the new guys, don't get me wrong, (in case anyone's reading this from Baylor) nobody could replace his Baylor people, but this is another GREAT group of people, and I think he's beginning to feel like he could really fit in.  They certainly have a great sense of humor. :) Bug me about pics if you wanna see them, cause I don't know if it's going to happen otherwise,…

Halloween Costumes

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family, Family Fun, Games, Health Concerns, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures, The end is near
In the spirit of blogging, and since I'm so picture obsessed, it's only fair, regardless of other circumstances, to share some Halloween snapshots.  Friday was the day we made our final decisions on the job and move, so it was a BIG day in many ways! We went to the ward "Trunk-or-treat," and had a great time. Michael was our "Soccer 'ball' Player"  I got the outfit at the AF DI, on our trip last month, and hoped he'd latch onto the "basketball player" idea, he didn't, after three weeks of 5 different ideas a week, we went to Traders Village, and ran across some soccer balls, he decided he wanted to be a "Soccer 'ball' Player" (the "ball" addition all his own), but when it came down to time…

Happy Leap Year! and Kiddo Tag!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Dreams, Games, Holidays, Kevin and I, Michael
This is my 6th leap year, it's so fun! I feel the need to do something special. and it's a Friday too!!! Whoo hoo! This morning I got up and for once I wasn't dragging, don't know why, maybe we slept better lastnight, or I just had a surprisingly happy morning. Usually mornings consist of me wishing it wouldn't come yet, and then dreading the morning routine (taking Michael and Kevin to school and work, and then getting the boys back in if I don't run errands on the way home). I just have a really rough time with mornings... I have very vivid dreams. Very. Lastnight I dreamed that we were buying a house. Not just any house. This house had about 8 bedrooms, almost all of which had…

Breakfast with my Buddy

Holidays, Michael
This morning I had breakfast with Michael at school. It was pretty fun. Kevin has the day off for Presidents Day, and so he took the younger boys while I took Michael in to pay his lunch money and to have breakfast with him. It was really nice to spend some time alone with my oldest. We had milk, juice and sausage on a biscuit.
