Heres me!

This was a fun little thing to do! Thanks to Tj...
I am a Analyzer:)
General Description As an Analyzer, you tend to seek perfect outcomes in all of your plans and projects. In many situations, you “take things apart” in your mind and think about ways to do them better. You excel at this kind of mental examination, but you may tend to see family and friends as “projects,” rather than as people. Typical Areas of Strength; Analyzers, like you, tend to be analytical, logical, direct, confident, and they like new challenges. They excel at seeing the larger vision, creating efficient methods and procedures, and listening carefully for the facts. Typical Areas of Struggle; Due to your tendency to focus on tasks, you sometimes show a lack of sensitivity to the feelings of family members and friends. When you are sharply focused on a task, you may come across as being overly critical, judgmental, blunt, or impatient with others. Your Preferred Activities; To maximize your talents, you look for situations in which you can offer logical solutions to complex challenges, and you evaluate and make the necessary changes to assure the desired outcome. Your Communication Style; You tend to provide insights and direction by teaching, managing, clarifying, and advising.

My funny child!


Little Paul is funny, I have to share this;

Lil.Paul: "Mom whats your favirote drink"?

Mom: "Water, juice, and Pepsi; Whats yours"?

Lil.Paul: "Hmmm Hmmmm Juice, chocolate milk AND caffine"

Ha ha ha I just laughed!! Poor kid, he thinks caffine is a DRINK!!

Tonight he was running back and forth every few minutes to the kitchen from his room to drink his water, when he came over to me with a HUGE smile on his face and said; "MOM you have to hear this, listen". He jumped up and down, to hear his belly FULL of water make bubbly watering noises! He thought it was so cool!
Friday we headed up to Shaver lake to go and play in the snow! We were all wondering if there was going to be any snow up there, since we have been having warmer weather these days; and YES we had LOTS of snow! It was so gorgeous, I LOVED it there, its just so pretty!
We stood in a cabin at Shaver lake, it was a two bedroom + a LARGE loft, and two bathrooms, this was like a home away from home:) I could have stood there for good, and make it mine! Paul, Lil.Paul, my nephew Kyler, Preston and I all stood up in the loft; we EACH had our own bed (well Preston and I shared). It was really a huge area up there with a game table too. My mom had her own room, and sister Peachy, John and Jordan had the master suite. We even had a laundry room!!
We stood the days just playing, relaxing AND eating:) Our cabin had a very large back yard COVERED in snow, so it was a perfect place for the kids to just go CRAZY, ALL to themselves! Paul and John shoveled out a pathway out of the back bedroom door. They also shoveled a long slide area so we could go down the slope with the sleds, this was so much fun for the kids, AND us adults:) I can't even count how many times we ALL went down that slide, AND crashed too:) The snow was really hard to walk in, if we did not stay on the "trail/path" the snow was up to your knees! We did do a little venturing "out" of the yard, we walked a bit up the hill, but then realized we might be in someones yard! The kids built two snowmen, and dug some deep holes looking for the grass OR dirt, they never did find it:) We enjoyed yummy food, it seems like we eat so much when we are "away" from home; Top sirloin, Fettuccini, bread, pasta salad, spaghetti, green salad, eggs, pancakes, sausage, beans, famous Mac n cheese, tuna, PBJ's, fruit, oven roasted turkey sandwiches, and the list goes on!! We pigged out!



The kids spent most of the days out playing, but when it got to cold and DARK they PLAYED inside NON STOP; lots of dominoes, movies, make believe games and coloring. Grandma Linda read to them from the bible on Sunday morning; I joked that she was "playing" the part of a "male Pastor" because she had just got out of the shower and her hair was slicked back(wet), so she looked like a guy, TOO funny! We all had so much fun! I cant wait to go back SOON!



I took over two hundred pictures, I just could not help myself, there were to many photo opps. Big Paul went CRAZY over the scenery pictures!







Hope you enjoy our pics/videos!























Just a pretty veiw from the loft!

Preston




Four months old today! I can't even believe how fast time has gone by, FOUR months, I just can't believe it.
I love to see how Preston changes almost daily; watching his development day to day! I love that I am home with my children, I would have it NO other way.
I love my boys:)








Preston LOVES to stand-up, he gets so excited!




He was actually scared of the camera! I tried to keep it to the side of my face so he did not have to look at it, but he still did:) He was really tired here.






just being cute
