IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!!!!

O.K. so I'm a wee bit excited. After almost 11 years of marriage, we finally have our very own baby grand piano (granted it is used, but we got a great deal, and it's in great condition--THANKS craigslist). Although, I probably wouldn't care if it was a dumpy old upright. But, never-the-less we have our OWN piano!!!
This means that we can finally take down our little electric piano, and the girls can finally learn how to use pedals.
Oooooooooo, I'm just so excited. Caitlyn and Sadie already showed how excited they were, Caitlyn didn't want to go down for a nap, because she wanted "to pway" the piano.
I'm also excited, because we now officially can use our "dining room" for something.

Happy, Happy Birthday Grandma!!

It's that time of year again, yep you guessed it--Valentines and President's Day--oh, and that reminds me, it's also Grandma Winter's Birthday!!
We love her for all her joy and love and dedication to the family! Thank you for setting such a great example in all you do. I'm so proud to have you as a mother. Thank you for teaching us the gospel, how to pray and read the scriptures and thank you for living righteously so that we know how to do it as well!
We love you and honor you on this day--Happy Birthday mom!!!!

What-the?

Can you guess what this is? Well some of you know right away that it is a little contraption that helps make our lives a little more organized.

I'd 1st like to thank my dad who got it for me--THANKS dad!!!!!

Now, here's the BEFORE picture. . .

And the AFTER picture. . .

Anyways, that's one small step for me, one large step for my pantry--hee, hee!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Brian. O.K. so this post is a little belated, but the birthday was not.

The BIG 35 yet still young at heart. And what do you get the man who has almost everything but never asks for anything?

Well you get him a gun of course and some extra ammo. Now don't panic, it's just a pellet gun (thanks to Emily for the idea).
It gets harder and harder to try and surprise him, but I think we did it this year (hence the smile).

Now he just needs some extra time so he can try it out! Have fun Brian we love you!!!

Go FISH!!

Woo hoo, we finally got some fish to match the tank that Santa gave Meghan for Christmas. Crazy enough everyone chose goldfish. Out of all our choices. Well, it's a good place to start anyways.


Who knew that fish were so exciting? I find myself watching them every time I walk past them, all they do is swim around--seriously, is this that exciting, I guess that's how exciting my life is :) Of course the girls love watching them as well.

My fish (tiger) and Meghan's fish (candy) the dominate ones in the tank.
