My life in a very small nutshell

Some people....... Well, you can't be mad at a few of them. Those ones are just ignorant. Or in ignorant bliss. This article, for me, explains it pretty well plus 5 or 10 things.

I wish!!!!

Man, I would love one of these bad boys! Cory and I are tired of pushing 2 strollers around. Or me trying to push a toddler and carry a baby! This would be an awesome thing to get!
look HERE to see if you can win one. I hope I do!!!

It's Been a Long Time

I guess with being a mother of 2 babies I only have so much time to spend on myself. And I usually use that time to shower or clean up after my crazy tornado I call Hali. So, I have recorded myself playing my guitar and singing some of my favorite songs. I used to do it ALL the time and I loved it so when you see the videos you will know why they are a little rusty. Ok, a lot rusty. I'm still not sure why I am putting this up for public ridicule but whatever! It's my blog, so there!
........Enjoy the sounds........ of Molly......... :)
Yes, one of them I am in my bathroom. What can I say... it has good acoustics...

The Penfolds came to town!

Mimi and Nate and baby Jarrett came to visit us last week and it was so much fun! Besides the fact that the girls were sick, we still had a good time hanging out, watching movies, playing video games, shopping, going to the zoo, and more!! They stayed for almost a week and I didn't want them to leave!! I miss my sissy! It was a good time though.

Hali's 2nd Birthday

Hali's birthday was on October 20th and I forgot to post it. Well, I forget to post a lot of things but I will be better. It's one of those resolution thingys. :) We were in Utah, Idaho, and Arizona on a very sporadic road trip and we spent her birthday in Rexburg, ID at Char and Tom's house. It was a lot of fun! Hali got some princess jewelry, a truck, a video, and a princess tent. All the cousins loved playing with the new toys and we all enjoyed the birthday cake by Aunt Charlotte.

These last 2 pictures are Hali "feeding" her babies and Hali's first time playing in snow. It was right outside Jackson Hole, WY.

It's just life.

We have been busy with everything. Hali was really sick with a cough and fever, then (of course) Emery got it. She had it bad and had to get an Albuterol nebulizer and some steroids so she could breathe. Then Cory got a bad sore throat and then it was my turn... all I can say is thank goodness for steroids or I would have eaten at all! I couldn't even swallow water. I had horrible body aches, bad headache, chills and fever, congestion. The works. It's been fun but I am functional again thanks to the medicine. I am still not 100%.

The girls are growing up so fast and it's fun to see them play and interact. Hali is such a nurturing little helper and Emery is so funny and giggly. Hali can make her laugh doing just about anything! She will jump around or play peekaboo and Emery laughs and it is such a riot to watch. I love watching them grow and learn but it is also going by too quickly. What is a mom to do? Emery is going to be 8 months old on the 21st and Hali is 2 and 2 months. I love my girls!

Well Christmas was fun and Hali really enjoyed opening her presents and playing with her dolls and new games and watching her princess videos. Emery just liked to eat the paper Hali threw her way! Then we went to the Metcalf's house to play some more and then we headed to Houston to visit my dad and step-mom for a few days. It was a fun Christmas!


Hali and I also went to Shelby and James Berg's wedding reception. I knew them when I lived in College Station, TX. Hali was so funny there. She just wanted to dance and she kept stealing other peoples cake off their plates. Thanks Jesse! She was very cute!
