"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"Mommy, I need my bwubs (gloves). Dis hot chocate is weewy hot." 

This is her tea set. She loves this thing and plays with it all the time. Then she asked for her snow mittens. lol. She's such a cutie.



And, Houston, we have a problem. These are 6 month clothes on my not quite 3 month old. #stopgrowing #staylittle #timeflies

I asked Nora to draw me a snowman. I'm impressed!

Spit Bubbles

Lexie loves bath time. She kicks around like crazy town. 




Cutest towel baby! I can't get over how sweet she is...








SPIT BUBBLES!! Hahahaha! She thought it was so great!





Nathan is so creative! I love his buildings (he is constantly making!). I've also noticed how he usually builds things symmetrically. Not sure what they means, but he's really good at it!

Peanutty Power Balls!

Nathan has been asking and asking to make these for the longest time and we finally did it! We had fun and everyone seemed to really like them!




Peanutty Power Balls
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup dry milk powder
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup honey
1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Mix all ingredients, except graham cracker crumbs, in a bowl. Shape mixture into balls and place on wax or parchment paper. Coat balls with graham cracker crumbs. Place on a plate and cover. Chill for 1 hour before serving.


I can't get over how much I love holding her while she's sleeping! She's an angel baby. There's dishes to do and toys to pick up, but oh well. I'm kinda busy right now...

I wish you could hear her adorable baby giggles through these pictures!





Oh, and Nathan just said, "Yeah, I'm stretching cuz my bum is really sweaty."

LOL

Kids say the darn-dest things!!

Kiddos

I just can't get enough of this cute face! Look at those cheeks! And those lips! So incredibly kissable!







 I can't get enough of this face either! She's hilarious!




Ok this one is fun. This is all the kids at about 2 months old. I love how much they look alike! We make clone babies... LOL!


We attempted to go outside in the freezing cold today...

Buming

Day 2 of potty training. When Nora is saying 'coming', she says 'buming'. I find this comical as we've been sitting on the potty today and she keeps saying, "Pee's not buming, Mommy."

LOL

POTTY!

Pee in the potty! Pee in the potty! Pee in the potty! She may not have been ready before Lexie was born, but Nora is finally on her way!!


And Nathan just didn't want to be left out... haha!

Goofballs

We were just having fun today. Hilarious kids and their funny poses sometimes. And Nora dressed herself (pink shirt on backwards, blue pants, red shoes). Being silly is a talent of ours.
