Sledding

Since we had a week off of school we decided to go sledding with the St Cyr's. The kids had a blast, and the parents did too. Claire, LL, MJ and Jack eating snow burgers (that's what they called them)

Jack didn't like it much, so he just sat and watched. Right before MJ and I went down the hill

The Dress

Here you go Aunt Heather! LL really wanted you to see the dress.
V-day treats we made, thanks mom they turned out great.

Jack decided to help me with my latest sewing project.

Sand Volleyball

Yes I do live in New York and it is snowing still. But I get to go every Tuesday and play Sand Volleyball with Matt's Law Firm. It is so much fun! See I told you Dad!

Catching up!

I have been falling behind in updating my blog so here you go! Enjoy! the girls had fun at The Little Gym at a birthday party

LL's Dance

Two more weeks!

So our doctor didn't tell us that she would have two more casts put on so that they would stay set until her braces came in. But these casts can go in the bath, so no more stinky casts.

Stinky Casts!

MJ is finally getting her casts off today. I hope that everything goes well and I know that she is excited because we woke up to snow on the ground. Which means she can finally go play in the snow. Wish us luck!

Princesses on Ice

MJ, LL and I went to Princesses on Ice here. The girls loved it. I think I enjoyed watching their faces as much as the show. We look forward to next years show. the girls before the show started

Too Much Going On...

So that is what I am claiming for not posting in a long time. We have done a lot but it's mainly because I have been a slacker. Enjoy. And if you want to see more pictures click here.


Matt and I woke up to a foot of new snow on our driveway. I only got my camera after we shoveled. Thank goodness our neighbor came and helped us, there was a ton of snow. as you can see in this picture that is our mailbox on the side. I had to shovel it out so the mail would be delivered to us.

child labor? She loved it!

Jack's birthday, yes I know it's almost been a month. I'm slow!

Smith Farm in Palmyra in winter

Amazing statues at the Hill Cumorah visitors center. If they come to a visitors center near you, I urge you to go see them, they are amazing. Here is a video I found that someone made about them.

The Christmas List

The Christmas List

Written by Richard Paul Evans

I loved this book. I read it in two days, with three kids that is saying a lot. Usually i don't recommend his books to my husband Matt, but this one I told him he would like too. I am a sucker for his books. I have loved everyone that I have read. If you haven't read any do it they are great!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Jack is 1 today! Happy Birthday big boy! I still can't believe how fast he has grown up. My favorite thing that he says is Uh Oh. He loves to torture his sisters and thinks it's funny when we tell him no. All the good traits of a boy, right? Merry Christmas everyone!

Up and Walking around!

I promised my parent that I would take a video of MJ walking in her casts so they could see her. Then I added another video of Jack at his wonderful words. He usually talks a lot, but he thinks it's funny to say Dada when I want him to say mama or anything else. Enjoy!

She's home and doing great!

MJ had a deformity in her feet. She has had it since she was little, but it has been getting worse over the years. So we finally went in and had it corrected before it got any worse. So now she has two green casts on her feet. She will be getting them taken off on Jan 28th. Lucky for her she is only going to miss two days of school because they are just about to go on Christmas break. She will be walking on them soon and for now she is getting spoiled rotten and loving every minute of it!

My Sister's Keeper

I just finished this book. Wow, what an amazing story and at the same time about the saddest thing I have ever read. I recommend this book, but have a box of Kleenex near by.

Where did my baby go?

What happened to my baby boy. He is all of the sudden a little boy, messy eater, into everything and loves to torture his sisters. Turning one the day after Christmas, time has just flown by!

and another Christmas quilt finished and ready to be mailed.

Tacos?

LL- Mom I don't like Tacos

Me- Good because we are having Taco soup and not Tacos

MJ- Mom, I love Tacos, because I am a Taco Master
