Fun in the snow and the sand

Last week was jammed packed with lots of fun. On Monday Shawn, Sophie, Anni and I went up to Kolab with Tianna, Beau and Josh to have some fun in the snow. It was Shawn and I's first time snowmobiling and boy was it a fun experience. Sophie's favorite part was sledding, I think she went up and down the hill at least 10 times.

Then on Thursday thur Sunday the whole family went to Dumont sand dunes. Zoey was a maniac on the little four wheeler. I think the only time she stop riding was to eat and sleep. Maybe Shawn will have a riding partner after all. While we were out there Mindy's little boy Trayvin turned 1 so on Saturday she had a little party for him. It was all going smooth until my dog decided to go into Lyle and Sarah's motor home and eat the birthday cake:( I was so embarrassed. Luckily the cake was fixable so the party wasn't a total wreak. We went with a really fun group of people. We would stay up late playing camp fire games and visiting. It's one of the funnest camping trips I have ever been on.

Such a bad mom

I have to post about one of my not so proud mom moments. Yesterday a couple of friends and I decided to take the kids to the park. The weather was perfect. So nice that we ended up staying there for 3 hours. It was really fun. At least until it was time to go home.
I put Anni in the car and threw the keys on the front seat. I then picked up Max and threw him in and shut the driver side door. Max started going crazy and really wanted out. Anni's door was still open until Sophie decided she was going to help out mom and shut it. I immediately tried to reopen it think nothing of it until I realized it was locked along with all the other doors. I then started to panic. I started digging in my diaper bag to find my cell phone but it wasn't there. Not to worry it was safe in my purse inside the locked car. Then panic really set in. I saw a lady over on the park equipment playing with her cell phone so I decided to run over and ask her if I could use her phone to call Shawn. Of course her cell phone was dead. I then asked her if you would mind watching my car why I ran over to my in laws house to use their phone. The lady was really nice and agreed. On a dead sprint I ran over to my inlaws and called Shawn. Just as I got Shawn on the phone Jay, Shawn's dad, drove up. I hung up with Shawn and quickly explained to Jay what happened. He told me to jump in his truck go home and get the some more keys and he would go over to the park and watch Anni. I drove as fast as I could to get home and back to the park of course not without hitting every red light. When I got to the park and unlocked the door Anni was screaming her head off. I felt SO bad. I was so upset and felt like the worst mom in the world. I am still not sure how the doors locked. The only thing I can think is that when max was freaking out in the car he stepped on the lock button. Lesson learned the hard way.

Our Newest Addition

We got a new dog a few days ago and we are SO excited. His name is Max he is a 13 inch beagle. The kids absolutely LOVE him and he loves them.

Sooo tired

Do you think Sophie was tired? Yep still sleeping!!!

Where does the time go!!

Anni is getting so BIG its hard to believe that she is 4 months already. She had her 4 month check up on Friday and she weighed a whopping 15lbs 7oz and is 24.8 inches. On the growth chart she is 90% in weigh and 72% in length, so basically she is short and chubby.
Here are some of her milestones**
*Sleeping through the night
*Reaching for toys
*Smiles
*Giggles out loud
*eats 6oz
*loves taking baths

These are some pictures of Anni doing things for the first time. The one of her and I is her first time camping she did really well except or batteries on our trailer are bad so the kept dieing so we couldn't run our heater, so around 4:oo I woke up and her hands were ice cubes so I put her in bed with Shawn and I. The next picture is Anni with her Great Grandma Tobler who is 92 year old. Grandma is in a nursing home in mesquite now so we get to go she her. She probably wont remember we were there her short term memory isn't great but other then that she is as healthy as a horse. The bottom pictures are of Anni on her first 4-wheeler ride with Grandpa Tobler. She must of likes it because she slept the whole time the the machine was moving.

A fun ending to 2008

We had a wonderful CRAZY busy Holiday season. The weeks before Christmas was very busy with party's and preparation for Christmas, but we made it through. Here is a run down starting with New Years.
Every New Years we go out to the Frei's house for food and tons of fun. My girls look forward to it ever year.



On Saturday night Dec 27th Grandma Coleen decided she wanted to have a sleep over with all of the grandkids. Of course us parents thought that was a great idea.

On Saturday Dec 27th my sister Tianna blessed her sweet baby boy Joshua at her husbands parents house. Beau gave josh a great blessing.

The day after Christmas we headed up to Cedar City to see my grandpa Hulet. This was the first Christmas without my grandma which was really hard, but we managed to make the best of it with lots of visiting and fun in the snow.

We were alittle nervous that Santa clause wasn't going to find the kids this year, but he did and of course they were spoiled. We had a great Christmas Shawn surprised me with a Nikon D 60 camera which has been a ton of fun. I still have alot to learn with it but hopefully soon I will be taking some cool pictures.

Christmas Eve this year was at my house. We had almost all the Tobler's and My parents and grandparents over for Mexican food. After dinner the kids act out the nativity then they open one present which is always PJ's. This year grandma Coleen got all the girls High School Musical Pajama's. They thought that was really cool.



As a tradition the Sunday before Christmas the girls get new dresses. This year I was really excited because I was able to find them matching skirts and shirts. Every year it get harder to find them matching stuff because Kylee is getting so big.

Sophie was really excited this year to have her very own Christmas party. Julie got a bunch of kids together and had them make gingerbread houses out of gram crackers. As you can tell Sophie had a blasted. It was a couple weeks after Christmas before she let me throw her house away.

As you can see we were really busy. That's part of the reason it has taken my so long to post on my blog. I had to sit back and do nothing for a while. Hopefully I will keep on top of it from now on. Oh by the way did I mention in the middle of all this madness I was put in the primary presidency :o)
