FREE $40 in amazon gift cards!

Since I joined in January, I've earned $40 worth of amazon gift cards just for searching the web like I normally do. How?

From SWAGBUCKS!! Click on the link on the right for more info. It's really cool! I hope to have $40 more before Christmas to get Dallin a new wii game!

Alpine Slide fun!

We took the kids up to Durango again yesterday to see how Maddie would do on the Alpine slide. She wasn't sure about the chairlift ride up, but LOVED the slide down! She yelled Weeeehoooo! The whole way down with me. I asked Todd what she did when she rode with him and he said "nothing, other than yelling "daddy!!! GO FASTER!!!"" hehehehe!

Dallin is almost old enough to ride by himself. Next year buddy :)

They both did the bungee trampoline, but Maddie didn't like it at ALL. So she probably won't do that again! Dallin LOVES it though and goes really high!

Maddie also found a dandelion and held on to it the whole ride down with Daddy. Click on the pictures and it will make them bigger. You'll see the dandelion in her hand.

And the result of smelling the dandelion:

Silly Dallin! Tricks are for kids!

This guy is such a goofball. He reminds me a lot of Uncle Adam! Love you bubba!

Don't let that face fool you...

This little angel faced princess was a total terror today. Anyone with advice on how to get her to stop yelling "I need to go POTTY" at the top of her lungs during sacrament meeting please let me know. (We do take her before church starts). Everyone around us thinks it's pretty funny. Oh, and her coming back in and announcing "I...AM...SO...GRUMPY!!!!" Todd and I tried SO hard to keep a straight face! Well, at least she's honest!


And while you're at it, if there is anyone out there who can get her to sleep in her own bed...I'll love you forever. I'm ready to gate her in or something. Oh...and...
Do all 3 year olds WHINE everything? She can't ask for anything without whining or crying. It's mentally exhausting. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade her for anything. Today was just one of those days where I caught myself thinking "ohhhh little girl, it's a good thing you are cute!!"


Tomorrow's post will be on how sweet my 5 year old is, because truly he's wonderful and he deserves his own post!

Don't mess with this!

Maddie's angry face...

Thankfully she was just being silly. I wouldn't want to mess with that!

Come visit us and we'll take you here!

Silverton, Colorado! I know I've already blogged about this place but it really is such a great little town. They have a new "Big Foot Central" museum (not really a museum, it's just a room, but still pretty funny). Dallin didn't like the "stinky foot monster" so he wouldn't get his picture taken. It was windy and kind of chilly so Maddie wanted to ride on my back most of the day.

Here are some pictures. Anyone want to come? Our doors are always open to visitors!

8 YEARS!

Today is our 8th Anniversary :) I can't believe it's been that long already!! Happy Anniversary Todd!
