Three Boys...

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!
-- Author Unknown

There are days when I am so unsure about my ability to raise three boys!?  It is a very daunting and important task that I have laid out before me.  I wonder if I will be able to raise my boys to be great husbands, wonderful fathers and responsible priesthood holders.  
I know that we are never given something that we can't handle, I just hope that I do a good job.  I never imagined myself with three boys.  Life never turns out how we picture it I guess, it turns out how it is supposed too though.  
Don't get me wrong I am very excited for my three boys and watching them grow into men.  I just hope I can help them on their way to manhood.  Teach them to respect womanhood and to be gentle, kind men.  
I hope that I can keep them on a path of righteousness as the world falls apart around them.  Teach them that it is okay to be different and to stand for what is right.  

I hope I will be good mother to my three boys.

this and that...

So I haven't blogged in a bit...okay more like 2 months.  I guess I just haven't been that in the mood to blog :).  I am still not really in the mood, I guess I just have to much to blog about that I don't want to try and catch up.  So this might be a very random post.  ENJOY!!!


Our one and only snowman.  This was the first time the boys ever built a snowman.  (we actually cheated and used big balls of snow that had been created by the snow plow that plowed our circle).


Out helping Daddy shovel the drive way (they were much better at throwing snow on the driveway than helping remove it from the driveway)


My handsome man taking care of us and shoveling the driveway.  You can also see the back end of our new addition.  A 2007 Honda Odessey.  Chad was a good sport and got rid of his truck so that we could get a bigger car for our new addition.  26 weeks down 14 more to go!!!


Speaking of baby boy #3 here is a current belly pic for those who are curious.  I am 26 weeks and very uncomfortable.  This one has been much harder on my body than the other 2.  Especially my hips, they are killing me!!!  (don't the boys look so enthusiastic in the picture hehe)


We went to Seattle for Christmas and one of the days we were there I finally got to go to the Space Needle.  I have been to Seattle many times and never been to the Space Needle.  


A big thanks to my Mother-in-law, Karen for watching the boys so Chad and I could have a date by ourselves! 


It was the perfect day to go the Space Needle because the weather was so clear.  If you have ever been to Seattle in the winter you know that doesn't happen often.  



Us at the top.  It was very windy but luckily we could see a lot.


Opening presents on Christmas morning!


Daniel was so funny with the stuff from his stocking.  Every time he would pull an item out he would line it up on the coffee table.  He cracked us up.


Playing with Iron Man


One of the few moments that these two get along.  They are typical boys and love to fight.


Chad playing with his toy!!  I got him a lego Lamborghini.  I think that he really liked it!


This was taken on Friday night.  Chad came home from work that day and handed me a cute poem saying that we were going out that night and he had lined up a babysitter and everything.  He didn't tell me where we were going just that I needed to dress up and wear comfortable shoes.  Turns out he took me up to a dance in Rexburg!!!  I had such a good time and loved the surprise my sweetie put together for me.  What a wonderful man!


The boys wanted a picture too, since mom and dad had one!  It was really funny, while I was getting dressed up Garrett asked if we were going to get married, hehe it made me chuckle.
