iphone photos

Either get comfy or just skip this post. This one is really for my own memory. I just downloaded all the pictures off of Eric's iPhone. There were almost 300 but here are a few of my favorites.

Whiteboard art in Eric's office

When you tell your kids to pack for a vacation this is what's important.
Bless Eric's heart for having to wake up to this sight in the morning.

My boys spend lots of time making their "guys"

Another "guy"

For a school assignment Cameron was asked to draw a picture of her favorite toy. (It's our laptop.)

Eric decorated the Christmas tree while I was out one night.

Eric and his brothers were trying to find a quiet place to watch tv.

Brrr.....

Kung Fu Panda's birthday party. (Yes, we celebrated many Webkinz birthdays last year.)

The BYU / Utah rivalry between Wimmers and Sandgrens continues!!

The best part of Disneyland for our kids.

More "guys" the boys made out of paper plates. Luke calls them "the clubbers".

Just us cops goin' out for donuts.

Krispy Kreme

Our first Sunday in our new house, Brother Bigalow came by on his John Deer to give us fresh produce!

Plumber in the making.

I wonder what Cameron's first grade teacher thought when Cameron made this on her first day of school..... notice the red eyes and fangs....

This is another group of "guys" but this is a little like ET. Can you spot Molly?

What the heck is going on here?

Molly and Luke just watching a show.

Why does Eric take pictures of everyone sleeping?

Skye, Sadie & Cameron in St. George

Adam was trying out Molly's kennel.

Naptime.

Our kids love grocery shopping almost as much as Disneyland when they can have their own cart.

Molly can search out the only patch of sunlight in the whole house.

Our little hula girl

Eric wanted to buy this shirt to wear on business trips to see what the guys who work with him would do.

Adam and Luke putting on a puppet show

The best time with Grandpa Larry

vegas baby

Let me just tell you that leaving Las Vegas to return to Utah County in January is about the most depressing thing ever. Aunt Puffy (one of my very favorite people in the world) invited our family for a fun-filled weekend with her at her place in Vegas. We drove down on Friday morning and just got home tonight. It was quick, but so much fun I can't stand it!

If I don't take pictures of myself, there would never be any. So here I am in the car. And Eric and Cam asleep in the back.
The kids and Aunt Puffy at Red Rock

We climbed up a big rock and we were way proud of ourselves. (Me especially because I was wearing new boots not conducive to rock climbing.)

Could these boys be any cuter?

More time in the car.... Mickey had a great time.

Cam loves the car too.

We spent Saturday at the Springs Preserve.
Cameron had a little bit of a fever, so Puffy and I took a break sitting on the back of a rattle snake!

Luke and Adam took turns being a tortoise.

Keeping up with a long tradition of not bringing my camera, all of our photos were taken with Eric's phone. We had such a great time. We love you Puffy!

wishlist

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off

I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow I still lived on

I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on

the Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top

I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the ground

For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me

I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good

I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun

I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on

I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on

I wish I was the verb 'to trust' that never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turn up

I wish....

I wish....

--Eddie Vedder

mysteries

Things that are bugging me that I can't seem to figure out....

• Am I too old for blingin' jeans?
• Molly has thumbs on her front paws but not on the back ones....why?
• I don't think my front loading washing machine works as well as the old school washer.
• I used to think that everyone else's kids were brats and mine were perfect. The rolls have totally reversed now.
• Why do people still like Obama?
• How does my new health insurance work?
• Why did Taylor Swift make that horrible new song 'Two are Better Than One'?
• What the crap is Eddie Vedder saying in 'Yellow Lead Better'?
• How can my boys be identical if only one has congenital birth defects?
• Paula, why did you leave your American Idol home?
• Why does it smell like dead bodies when you get off I15 in Pleasant Grove?
• Why do I always have the most ANNOYING song going through my head? (Thank you Ke$ha)
• Are the double chocolate chip frappuccinos from Sarbucks fat free? Never mind, I don't want the answer to that one.

january

I've been taking a lot of flack from my friends and family about not blogging. So here is a picture that can basically recap our January.

Just like the grandparents on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we sit in bed but instead of knitting I'm playing online Scrabble and Eric is watching ESPN. January is the worst month. Everyone else is making resolutions and getting motivated, but not me. I want to spoon with Molly and my heating pad and not move from my bed.

There you go! January. Blah.
