Why do I hate to blog?

Okay! So sorry for the months and months of no posting. I do not know what my problem is. This is how scrapbooking went for me too. I jumped on the bandwagon in the beginning and then not only fizzled out, but detested it. So someone help me to love blogging. My poor children need some memories of their childhood recorded besides 5000 random pictures. Okay. Here goes. I am going to change my attitude. Here are some Halloween pics of Indiana Jones aka Gunnar, and Juliet the vampire aka Gracie.

Super Gunnar to the Rescue

Gunnar is OBSESSED with dressing up! His favorite character to be is Indiana Jones. I am seriously loving it. He loves to wear his pajamas unbuttoned halfway so he looks like Indy. When he is with his best friend/fighting partner, he loves to be Superman. I just cannot get over the differences between my little girl and my little boy. They both crack me up!

Rider

I know I haven't blogged in forever but I just wanted to say how grateful I am to everyone for all of their prayers and love during our scary time with Andy (or Rider as he likes to be called) in the hospital. It was so nice to have such wonderful friends that dropped everything at a moment's notice so that I could go to Utah and help my parents out. And it was so amazing to be with Rider for four days and see how he miraculously felt better so quickly. This can only be because of everyone's prayers and Heavenly Father being so willing to bless such an amazing person like Rider. All of the snakes and other presents he received from everyone really helped his attitude and made him feel so special. He is the most inspiring person I have ever seen and I feel so happy that I could go spend so much time with him! He is on his 8th week of chemo already and is responding really well to the treatments. He goes into the hospital every Wednesday saying "I LOVE CHEMO" so I can only imagine how his attitude is helping others going through the same process. We had such a fun time over Christmas with him watching our UTES in the best bowl game ever! Anyways, thank you thank you thank you friends and family! We love you all!

Gracie got her ears pierced!

I am so proud of Grace! She said she wanted to get her ears pierced and was dead set on doing it. Once we got there however, and she was in the seat, and her ears were prepped, and she had a girl with a gun on each side of her, she decided she wanted to wait until she was 8. But even after being scared, she decided to follow through and she couldn't be happier! I can't believe how grown up she is getting!

We love family!

Pictures with my beautiful cousin Jen!

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Our fun day with friends in Breckenridge and Silverthorne, site of my future dream cabin!

San Diego Zoo

We had originally planned on Disneyland but Grace wanted to go to Hollywood instead. Scary. We compromised on the San Diego zoo which was fun but tiring. It was probably 90 degrees and we were all a little sunburned from the beach. I didn't bring Gunnar's stroller so by the end of the day I was carrying him to the car. Not easy when your 2 year old weighs 42 pounds. It was still a pretty fun day but I think next year we'll do Hollywood. Hannah Montana here we come!
