My knight in shining armor

I have a knight in shining armor. He comes racing in on his white horse to play dolls, change diapers, give baths, watch America's Funniest Home Video and Wizard of OZ (over and over and over), play countless hours of Wii, help with homework, read bedtime stories and even do battle with a few contractors when needed. He has saved this damsel in distress many times and gives me breaks when I need them. He is the most selfless person I know and the best husband and father. I sure do LOVE my knight!

My Girl

I was at the house the other day and had Megan with me. She just looked so cute so I had to take a few pictures of her. I hope you enjoy them.

Sneak Peek...

I thought I would give you all a sneak peek at the house and some of the things that are going inside. Tell me what you think!

Two story family with my FIREPLACE!!

A barrel ceiling in my entry way. Picture this...brick in a herringbone pattern with my entry light in the middle. I am so excited this part of the house! I am actually excited for every part but I think this will be especially cool!

Some of my tile

Please forgive my amateur drawings but these are the designs I came up with for my bathrooms.

Cabinet Samples - All of these are incorporated into my kitchen and pantry. Brandon is kind of worried about it but I have it all figured out. (In my head at least!)

I know many of you are very talented and I am open to all opinions. Don't let me make any HUGE mistakes!!

2008 was the year we took Megan's binkies away. (During the day at least) Before that you could always tell she was tired because she would put her binkies in her eyes. And she always has to have at least 3 of them.

Cute boy!!

Funny Girl!!

Megan turned 2!!

I am Disneyland CRAZY!! Lucky for me my kids are too. We are already planning our next trip!

Dallin turned 6

A brother and sister who are the best of friends!

I look forward to all that 2009 has to offer. I hope it is wonderful for everyone else too!

We have an escapee!!

I knew this day would come and I have been dreading it for awhile now. Megan has finally learned how to climb out of her crib. It started two days ago. Imagine my surprise when I put her in time out and turned around a few minutes later and saw her standing there. After that she thought she was pretty cool. She doesn't mind going to time out anymore because she knows she can just climb right out. Bed time has been especially challenging!! How many times do I have to put her back in bed?!? Then, after I finally get her to go to sleep she wakes up in the middle of the night and is in our bed before I know it. When we move into our new house she is going to have a big girl bed. Maybe..just maybe...she will like it enough to sleep in her own bed. If not...maybe I can sleep through the night when she is 12.
