my bath baby

When I start the bath water, Jane comes running. She is so excited to get in the warm water, that she can't even wait for me to take her clothes off. If I start the bath, then leave to get towels etc, I return to a PJ-'d baby in the tub.

Here on another occasion she got in with her socks on...At least she likes to be clean:)

my case of the butter teeth

Someone in my house took a big bite out of a cube of butter. I discovered these unmistakable teeth marks yesterday. I will get to the bottom of this; I think I have an idea of who it was. I am just wondering....why?? I like butter as much as the next girl, but my gag reflex kicks in when I think about taking a bite out of a stick of butter.

my first house pet

For some reason, Reese and Michael were interested in a pet, but not just any pet...a hermit crab. Reese is pretty much allergic to dogs, and after my diarrhea/vomit experience with Katie, I was not interested. But these crabs have been brought up a few times over the months, but one day Michael decided it was time. He came home with all the things a hermit crab could want, sand, food, a coconut shell house, special water, a contained environment, and 3 crabs. The kids were oh so excited. The 3 crabs were named. Audrey's-big momma (because she is the BIGGEST), Reese's-Hermie (because Reese is logical), & Sadie's-Alice (because Sadie is so sweet). There was much excitement in our home and then there was fear. Dad got their home all set up then took them out and set them on the table. The children were startled, then a little shocked to see up close that these crabs resembled spiders with shells. Big momma was the most feared, because she was the biggest. Michael quickly devised a plan, the kids could wear a glove and it would be ok. They were all alright with this idea and started holding them with the glove. (except for big momma) The crabs are more active at night, clicking and chirping. The kids have gotten used to these little crabs with their little claws, and are now able to hold them bare handed! (except for big momma)

my halloween 2010

Luckily, Halloween was pretty low key this year. Costumes were easy and I wasn't dissappointed when Reese and Sadie wanted to repeat their costumes from last year. We did a trunk or treat at church Saturday night. Then we spent Halloween at Mom's, who did get 2 trick or treaters! I loved everyone's costumes. Mine was ok, I dont like how my hair turned out. Next time I think I would buy a wig. Those hairspray colors just don't look very nice.

Can anyone guess who Michael is????

my Easter weekend

In 2010

I thought this picture looked familiar....
In 2008....

Audrey is quite the little sneek...but she is so cute doing it.

my golden Lion

A momentous occasion in our lives as of late was the inception on The Pepperbox Four and their first show at a VERY seedy bar Ray's Golden Lion. The air was dank, there was a dirty show on the big screen TV, the floor was sticky, and it smelled of beer...but it was fun. They did so great. I was pretty amazed at how good they were! Kyle Blodgett guitar/vocals, Brad Blodgett drums, Doug Wadsworth bass/vocals, & Michael Huff guitar/vocals...

Some alternative names- High Priest Social or Big John and the Huff Mobile...

I was so grateful for all the friends that came and risked being seen at a bar on a Saturday night. We had a couple of high council members, a bishopbric member and a stake president...All in all, it was a very good night!

my friend's new camera

My good friend got a new fabulous camera and offered to come take a BAZILLION pictures of my kiddos...these are some of my faves

I did make a collage of some of Sadie's faces because her faces make me laugh and she is always so beautiful.


Jane looks like she is flipping someone off...I immediatly thought my mother in law would like this one:) She could see the humor in it!
