CHeww Choo!

I had so much fun at Ogden. We love those trains!

Halloween MADDNESS

We went to a party a while back and I need to post these fun pictures somewhere! I love to dress up! Betsy Bulkley is amazing . . .She threw a party with these fun photos . . .

Baby Ivory

So, I went in on Wed. and the Doc. said we could have the baby. We had strong contractions through out the day. I went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant then took a nap. I went home to clean my house, then time to go to the Hospital! We went in at about 7:15 pm, hung out, then got epidural at 8:3o, then got that baby out at 9:22 pm. It was wonderful. I am so so happy with having a new baby. I love little tiny babies. Ivory Ray Walker was born Aug. 12th 09; 5 lb 10 oz, 18 inches long. She has light brown hair. She is a good little eater. We are so excited.

Someone is 2!

Well, life is great! I made this train cake for the big 2. We had tonz of fun that day.
I can't decide to change this to a private blog--I don't want to put lots of things up, but wonder if people think private blogs are a pain. Anyways. We are doing fab. I keep thinking about a garden--I wish I could plant one in my back yard!!! I am already thinking about starting some plants under lights. . .cool!

Our little Pixie Party

Wow, I have been a mother for 4 years. We had a wonderful day to celebrate our little Pixie's Birthday. She was just beaming when she walked out of her room and said "Mommy, I'm 4". I asked her what we should eat, "rolled up pancakes" (Swedish pancakes), her favorite. For lunch we went to "Old McDonald's". She always sings Old McDonald Had A Farm . . . funny. She was very excited about everything, it was good to see that there can be so much happiness in one day. Truthfully, a little girl can't not have a few whiny moments specifically when brother takes her new toys from her. Her favorite toy was a little baby that moves her head and arms, so cute!
We had a Tinkerbell Party that we were able to have over little girls. We decorated sugar cookies in the shape of a Princess; foam princess stickers-art, B-day cake, presents and one more thing. We were all gathered together so they could hear me talk about pixies. I told them that every time a new baby laughs a pixie is born. On the movie Captain Hook, Tink was dying and she asked "Pan" to clap his hands, which saved her. I asked all the kids to clap their hands, clap, say "I believe", and WAMMO. We had "Fairy Mary" visit from Pixie Hollow. She was all dressed up and had pixie dust. Each of the children sat on her lap and made a wish. It was so so cute! When our little pixie blew out the candles, she struggled to aim the wind. She had to try lots before the last candle went out. I love Birthdays, it was fun to enjoy each moment.

SNOW

It snowed so much today. I sat in my house at the sink, just watching the snow fall like crazy today. Little buddy thought the tractor that was pushing the snow was so so cool! Jason came home to start the shoveling, he does not only our driveway but usually 7 others! I make him hot chocolate yet he breaks a sweat working so hard. I love hot chocolate. The trick is making whipping cream--beating it yourself YUM!

Our Family Picture

Over Thanksgiving a while ago we took these together. It was so fun to be together that weekend. I love to shop (crap, not good) so we went the day after Christmas to the BLACK FRIDAY. I have to confess I bought 5 pairs of shoes that day. They were all on killer sale, but honestly I tried not to speak of it with Jason. I love shoes! The other confession is how horrible I eat. We make Christmas Candy during Thanksgiving. We make nut balls, fudge, suckers, taffy, yeah I ate lots of everything.
